UFC and WEC veteran Diego Nunes (18-4) will take the next step in his career with Bellator MMA. Sources close to the promotion on Monday confirmed the featherweight’s signing, which is expected to be made official soon. Brazilian outlet Ataque Total first reported the news. Nunes was released from the UFC this past winter following a unanimous decision loss to Nik Lentz at UFC on FX 7 in Brazil. That loss gave him two decision setbacks in three fights. Overall, Nunes, from Brazil, went 3-3 in his stint with the UFC, but his most recent win streak came in 2010-11, when he had a three-fight run with victories over Raphael Assuncao and Tyler Toner in the WEC and a split-decision win over Mike Brown in his UFC debut..
