BAD MMA News — Mon, 11 Apr 2016 14:15:38 +0000

Kevin Souza Bellator has a new main event for its Saturday debut in Italy, officials today told MMAjunkie. Derek Campos (16-6 MMA, 5-4 BMMA) has suffered an injury, and Bellator has signed recent UFC fighter Kevin Souza (15-4 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) as a replacement to fight Patricky Freire (15-7 MMA, 8-6 BMMA). Bellator 152 takes place at Pala Alpitour in Turin, Italy, with the main card on Spike. Souza makes his promotional debut on short notice after he parted ways with the UFC after completing his contract with a second-round submission loss to Chas Skelly at UFC Fight Night 77 in November. Despite a 3-1 record with the promotion, the 31-year-old didn’t re-sign with the UFC and instead opted for free agency. Although Souza typically fights at featherweight, he’ll move up to lightweight for the showdown with Freire in the first bout of his new multi-fight Bellator contract

That’s when the scrappy Skelly (15-1 MMA, 4-1 UFC) closed the distance with a desperation takedown attempt that helped him take Souza’s (16-4 MMA, 3-1 UFC) back and sink the rear-naked choke to force the tap at the 1:56 mark of Round 2.
