After signing with Bellator back in 2014, Chinzo Machida finally has his promotional debut booked, according to a new report.
Machida, who is the older brother of former UFC champ, Lyoto Machida, will fight featherweight Mario Navarro on August 26th. MMA Fighting.com is reporting the booking.
Machida (3-2) has won two, consecutive fights while competing for RFA. Machida’s last bout, a decision win over Dima Gerasimov, took place in 2014.
Navarro (4-4), however, has lost two straight while fighting for Bellator.
Bellator 160 will take place at the Honda Center in Los Angeles.
