After emerging victorious in his first four professional fights, Piccolotti has continued with more of the same under the Scott Coker-led promotion’s banner. Since making his Bellator MMA debut in 2015, the California native has recorded wins in each of his four bouts, including three consecutive finishes via submission. Piccolotti opened his 2016 campaign with a nifty first round finish of Рэй Мод үед "Bellator 154: Дэвис сүсэг. Хаан Mo," lifting his overall record to 8-0. The 27-year-old will look to protect his unblemished mark when he challenges Girtz on Арваннэгдүгээр 19 inside SAP Center.
One year removed from an impressive first round finish that left opponent Дерек талбарууд on the Bellator MMA canvas just 37 seconds into the bout, Girtz returns to the cage in an attempt to build off of his current three-fight winning streak. The Mankato, Эхлэн., native holds an impressive 6-2 promotional mark since joining Bellator MMA, including four finishes and a pair of first round knockouts. Since making his professional debut in 2008, the 31-year-old Girtz has recorded 10 finishes, eight of which have come by way of submission. Having won five of his last six bouts, the powerful grappler will look to pick up right where he left off and further his case for a 155-pound title shot.
A seven-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Vassell has recorded five wins since making his promotional debut in 2013. The 33-year-old British striker is known for ending fights early with his elite striking and a near-flawless ground game. Нийтдээ, “The Swarm” has finished 13 нь түүний 16 өрсөлдөгчид, оролцуулах 10 first round finishes and six knockout blows. Vassell hopes to build off of a strong performance at the record shattering "Bellator 149: Сүсэг Shamrock. Gracie " үйл явдал, where he defeated Emauel Newton. Vassell now turns his attention to Francis Carmont, an opponent that he was originally slated to face earlier in the year at "Bellator 158: Дэли сүсэг. Шохой," before an injury forced Vassell to withdraw.
Similar to his opponent, former UFC competitor Francis Carmont also has a knack for finishing opponents early and often in his bouts. The 34-year-old Carmont has stopped his opponent in 17 нь түүний 25 career wins, оролцуулах 11 submission victories and six knockouts. Hailing from Paris, Франц, “Limitless” credits much of his success to the top-notch trainers at Tristar Gym in Montreal, Канад. The well-known training camp is loaded with accomplished instructors, who have helped develop a number of talented fighters, including recent Bellator MMA free agent signee Рори Макдональд. With more than half of his submission finishes coming in the opening round of action, we can expect the dynamic Carmont to attack his opponent right off the bat in hopes of adding to that remarkable total.
