A Fresno native, Honeycutt, will return home after a one-fight hiatus when he faces Parlo in a middleweight bout on جون 17. “The Cutt” is coming off of an impressive unanimous decision victory over میٹ Secor میں "Bellator 153: Koreshkov بمقابلہ.

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 برینن وارڈ already under his belt, Honeycutt will continue the trend of Parlo facing stiff competition.

Matthews also delivered a successful start to his flourishing career, earning wins in each of his first four bouts before joining Bellator MMA. A six fight veteran of the Scott Coker-led promotion, “The Mercenary” has posted a 4-2 record under the promotion’s umbrella, including two first round knockouts and one highlight reel soccer kick knockout over Charlie Rader at “Bellator 70.” The 28-year-old Calif. native now returns following a stint in Japan with hopes of creating havoc at 185-pounds when he challenges Reiter at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, کیلیفورنیا.

After collecting wins in eight of the first 10 اپنے کیریئر کے جھگڑے, the North Carolina native has made five appearances under the Bellator MMA banner, three of which ended in knockout victories for the man many refer to as “The Sniper.” The welterweight knockout artist will be searching for another explosive finish when he enters the cage next.
