HONOLULU – Bantamweight Raufeon Stots is all set for his debut on the big stage and says he has had plenty of seasoned pros to call upon for advice ahead of his bout with Cheyden Leialoha at Bellator 236 on Saturday.
Stots (12-1, 0-0 BMMA) takes on former Dana White’s Contender Series prospect Leialoha (7-1, 0-0 BMMA) looking to make his mark in a bantamweight division currently without a champion following Kyoji Horiguchi relinquishing Bellator’s 135-pound title due to injury.
And the 31-year-old revealed his Roufusport teammates, including seasoned UFC vets Anthony Pettis and Paul Felder, were on hand to give him some sage advice as he prepared for his big-show bow.
