After beginning his career undefeated, the Danish middleweight posted a 4-2 record for the Viacom-owned promotion, which was highlighted by a ferocious knockout win in his promotional debut at “Bellator 78.” With fights against competitors the likes of برينان وارد already under his belt, Honeycutt will continue the trend of Parlo facing stiff competition.
