Austin Vanderford has signed on for his first post-title fight assignment in Bellator.
At Bellator 284, Vanderford (11-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) will fight Anthony Adams (9-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) in a middleweight bout, a promotion official Monday informed MMA Junkie. The event takes place Aug. 12 at Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. The main card airs on Showtime after prelims on MMA Junkie.

The win came in Adams’ first fight in 13 months. He has not competed since, though did withdraw from a May booking against Lorenz Larkin.
