The 34-year-old Njokuani was released from the UFC following back-to-back defeats to Vinc Pichel and Daron Cruickshank last year. “The Assassin” posted a 3-5 record in the Octagon overall, with losses coming to notable talents such as Edson Barboza, Danny Castillo and Rafael dos Anjos.
Carson, meanwhile, is a veteran of the regional circuit and owns an 11-6 career record. “The King of Late Night” competed once for Bellator MMA, submitting to a Guillaume De Lorenzi guillotine choke in November 2012.
