Much like Mackenzie Dern, Rafael Lovato Jr has also moved on to bigger things after Legacy Fighting Championship. After a successful debut at Bellator he’s booked his 2nd fight – against Chris Honeycutt.
At 34 years of age, Lovato Jr. steps into the cage for the seventh time in his four-year career.
n his six wins, we’ve seen Lovato Jr’s skills transition well. He has four submission victories on his resume including a mix of the armbar, rear -naked chokes and the arm-triangle choke. Lovato Jr’s striking has also improved, as seen by his 13-second demolishing of Charles Hackmann via kick, knees and punches at Bellator 174.
Lovato will b stepping into the cage once again December 1st.
Honeycutt is a substantially harder opponent as his record is 10-1 with only loss coming from January 2016 tko loss from Paul Bradley.
