A five-time Shamrock FC veteran, Smith makes his Bellator MMA debut as he looks to rebound from a split-decision loss to Cory Hunter in March. Prior to the disappointing result, Smith je bio 4-1 in his previous five fights – a run that included two TKO victories and one submission.
Smith now meets three-time Shamrock FC fighter Nelson, who turned pro in December 2013 and also competes under the Bellator MMA banner for the first time. Nelson has earned both of his career wins to date via first-round stoppage, while his lone career loss went the distance, when he came up just short via split decision.
Royer and Watson have also spent the early stages of their professional careers competing exclusively under the Shamrock FC banner.
A submission specialist, Royer built an impressive amateur record fighting on Missouri’s regional scene before turning professional in 2013. An action-first fighter, both njegovog pro contests have ended in the first round. Royer now meets Watson, who made his professional debut this past June with a first-round TKO victory.
