Bellator
MMA returns to Italy with a lengthy mixed martial arts
card.
All fighters made weight for
Bellator 287, which features 17 fights in total. It is
headlined by a lightweight battle between Adam
Piccolotti, who has Italian ancestry, and the debuting Mansour
Barnaoui. Both will look to take advantage of the spotlight
with a win that compels them into contendership.
Piccolotti (13-4) has been in Bellator since 2015, and recently
come up short in major matches against Benson
Henderson and Sidney
Outlaw. However, those two split-decision defeats haven’t
deterred “The Bomb,” as the 34-year-old believes the best is yet to
come. The American weighed 155.2 pounds for his first Bellator main
event.
“The Afro-Samurai” is making his Bellator debut and getting the
royal treatment with a main event in his first outing. Currently
riding a seven-fight win streak, Barnaoui (19-4) has finished all
seven of those foes. Five of those victories came via rear-naked
choke, and the Frenchman celebrates a career finish rate of 95%
coming into this high-stakes pairing. Barnaoui, who will be
competing in MMA for the first time since May 2019, officially
weighed 154.6 pounds.
Bellator 287’s main card will air live on Showtime on Saturday at 4
p.m. ET/1 p.m. PT. Prelims begin on YouTube at 12:30 p.m. ET/9:30
a.m. PT.
