Bellator Signs Johnson

Bellator has announced the new signing of Lavar Johnson to their roster of heavyweights.

Lavar Johnson last fought in the UFC back at UFC 157 in which he lost to TUF almni Brenden Schaub by TKO.  Johnson was released from the UFC after high elevations of testosterone was discovered after the fight.  Bellator looks to have Johnson placed in their heavyweight tournament with recent former UFC Cheick Kongo.
