A lightweight tussle between Marcin Held and Dave Jansen and a heavyweight tilt pitting Chase Gormley against Joey Beltran have been added to the Bellator 155 lineup.

Promotion officials announced the pairings on Thursday. Bellator 155 takes place at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, Idaho, on May 20 and is headlined by a middleweight title clash between Rafael Carvalho and Melvin Manhoef. Held-Jansen and Gormley-Beltran will both appear on the main card, which airs on Spike TV beginning at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

Held saw a six-fight winning streak end at Bellator 145, as he dropped a five-round verdict to reigning 155-pound champ Will Brooks in November. Meanwhile, Jansen had a seven-bout streak snapped by Brooks in a five-round defeat at Bellator 136 in April.

Gormley, a two-time UFC veteran, lost to Dan Charles via second-round KO in his promotional debut at Bellator 143 this past September. Beltrran is 2-3 in Bellator but is coming off a first-round stoppage of Lamont Stafford in December on the regional circuit.
