Kendall Grove of Wailuku will face John Salter on July 14 in a feature bout on the Bellator 181 card in Thackerville, Okla., the mixed martial arts circuit said Thursday.

Bellator announced the middleweight fight on Twitter.

Grove (23-16) last fought in October, losing to Alexander Shlemenko. Grove had won his two fights before that, and has a 4-3 record in Bellator bouts.

Grove, 34, was to have been on the Bellator 174 card, but the bout was called off when his opponent, Mike Rhodes, failed to make weight. Grove’s original opponent in that fight was Chris Honeycutt.

The 32-year-old Salter (13-3) has won his previous five bouts, the last three of which were in Bellator events — he defeated Claudio Annicchiarico by technical knockout in December.
