Heavyweights Bobby Lashley and James Thompson will collide for a second time at Bellator 138 on June 19 in St. Louis. Joe Nguyen of the Denver Post first reported the matchup.

The pair originally squared off in May 2012, with Thompson taking the win via unanimous decision. A rematch was penciled in for this past February, but Lashley was forced off the card due to injury.

Lashley, 38, holds a pro record of 12-2 and has won five straight. The 36-year-old Thompson (20-14), a veteran of Pride Fighting Championships, has won his last four.

Bellator 138 will be headlined by a match pitting Ken Shamrock against Kevin Ferguson, and goes down at St. Louis’ Scottrade Center.
