Goiti Yamauchi is sticking with Bellator for the foreseeable future after signing a new long-term deal with the promotion, which was first reported by MMAFighting.com.
Sherdog.com reports the deal is worth multiple years, though the exact length was not disclosed.
The 24-year-old Yamauchi (22-3 MMA, 8-2 Bellator MMA), who’s competed under the Bellator banner since 2013, has been on a tear as of late. He’s won his last three fights, each time using a different finisher.
At Bellator 162 in October of 2016, Yamauchi submitted Ryan Couture with an armbar in his return to lightweight. Yamauchi followed that up less than two months later with a triangle-choke finish of Valeriu Mircea at Bellator 168.
In his most recent bout, which took place in September at Bellator 183, Yamauchi submitted the previously undefeated Adam Piccolotti with a rear-naked choke.
Yamauchi currently is unbooked, but that figures to change in due time after this new deal.
