After signing with Bellator in 2018, Lyoto Machida made his highly anticipated promotional debut with a victory over former champราฟาเอลวัลโญ่ที่Bellator 213and would later go on to defeat the now-retiredChael Sonneninside the famed Madison Square Garden atBellator 222.

Prior to his time with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Mix dominated his competition in all nine of his fights with King of the Cage, collecting five first round finishes. ตอนนี้, the submission specialist will face the toughest test of his young career, a matchup with the former Bellator featherweight world title contender and a shot at Bellator’s vacant 135-pound strap.
