By Fight Sports Oct 19, 2020

Jake Hager will be making his return to pro MMA competition soon.

Hager has been seen inside the squared circle under the AEW banner. He hasn’t competed in an MMA bout since October 25, 2019. Just a few days past a full year since his last outing, Hager will put the gloves back on.

Hager has been booked to take on Brandon Calton at Bellator 250 on October 29. MMAJunkie.com reported the news. Headlining that card will be a clash for the vacant Bellator Middleweight Title between Gegard Mousasi and welterweight champion Douglas Lima.

In his last outing, Hager fought Anthony Garrett. The bout was ruled a No Contest due to Hager’s unintentional knee strikes below the belt. Hager was coming off a first-round submission victory over T.J. Jones. Thus far, Hager’s pro MMA record stands at 2-0, 1 NC.

Here is how the Bellator 250 card is shaping up.
