Still growing, Romero Cotton brings patient approach to MMA career at Bellator 241

UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Romero Cotton has been cruising so far in his MMA career, but Friday he gets his most accomplished opponent yet.

Cotton (4-0 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) meets Justin Sumter (7-3 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) in a middleweight bout on the preliminary card at Bellator 241, which takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The main card streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.

Cotton has three straight stoppage wins over the past two years after a split call victory in his pro debut. All four of his wins have been under the Bellator banner. But Sumter has 10 pro fights, including a pair of bouts on Dana White’s Contender Series – though they both were stoppage losses.

Will Cotton stay unbeaten against Sumter? Check out the video above to hear Cotton break down the fight and his career so far.
