Chris Honeycutt, the former Fighting Scot wrestler, will be fighting at Bellator 202 next month.
Honeycutt will be taking on Leo Leite in a middleweight (185-pound) bout at Bellator 202 at WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. on July 13.
Honeycutt, 29, brings an 10-2 overall record since launching his pro career in June 2013. The two-time NCAA All-American for Edinboro University in Pennsylvania is 6-2 in Bellator competition. Leite, 40, is 10-1 in MMA, and 0-1 in Bellator.
Both middleweights are coming off losses in otherwise strong careers. Honeycutt, who had moved up from welterweight (170 pounds), lost a unanimous but somewhat controversial decision (at least in the eyes of some MMA sportswriters) to Rafael Lovato Jr. at Bellator 189 in December to put a stop to a four-bout win streak for "the Cutt." Leite's last fight had him on the losing end of a unanimous decision in a light-heavyweight (205-pound) match vs. former Penn State NCAA wrestling champ Phil Davis at Bellator 186 in November.
The Honeycutt vs. Leite match, part of the main card, will be broadcast on the Paramount network following preliminary bouts which will be streamed live on the Bellator app.
