A bantamweight bout between Shawn Bunch and Dominic Mazzotta is the latest addition to this month’s Bellator 219 lineup.
MMAjunkie today confirmed the preliminary-card matchup between Bunch (8-3 MMA, 5-2 BMMA) and Mazzotta (14-2 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) with a Bellator official.
Bellator 219 takes place March 29 at Pechanga Resort Casino in Temecula, Calif. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims streamed on MMAjunkie.
Bunch, 35, made a successful return to Bellator in November when he scored a first-round TKO over ex-champ Joe Warren at Bellator 210. It ended his nearly three-year break between stints with the organization, where he has won five of seven fights.
After losing his Bellator debut, Mazzotta, 31, has put together back-to-back wins with the promotion. He hasn’t fought in nearly a year, though, as his most recent performance was a unanimous decision victory over UFC vet Josh Sampo at Bellator 197 in April 2018.
The latest Bellator 219 card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Paramount, DAZN, 9 p.m. ET)
- Saad Awad vs. Brandon Girtz
- Shane Kruchten vs. Daniel Straus
