The 30-year-old Njokuani began his promotional tenure with victories in his first four appearances but has since lost three of his last four outings. That stretch includes a first-round submission defeat against John Salter in the Bellator 210 main event and a decision loss to Rafael Carvalho in the Bellator 224 co-headliner.
A four-time UFC veteran, Lahat went 4-2 during his time in Bellator . The 35-year-old Xtreme Couture representative is coming off a three round verdict over Brian Moore at Bellator 210 this past November.
Other notable releases include Chris Honeycutt, a Josh Koschek protege who went 7-3 with one no contest during his Bellator career and Jarod Trice, a three-time NCAA All-American wrestler who had compiled a 4-0 mark in his burgeoning professional tenure.
