Featherweight Gleristone Santos recently signed with Bellator and he will reportedly make his promotional debut next month at Bellator 143 against John Teixeira on the preliminary card.
The fight booking was reported by MMA Fighting on Thursday morning and the fight has not been confirmed at this time by Bellator.
Bellator 143 will come from the State Farm Arena in Hidalgo, Texas and will be headlined by a bantamweight bout as former Bellator champion Joe Warren faces L.C. Davis.
Santos (27-4) is currently on a nine fight winning streak and his last two wins came in Titan FC. When he steps into the cage at Bellator 143, it will have been 364 days since his last fight, which was a split decision win against Robert Washington. Teixeira (18-1-2) made his Bellator debut last year and has gone 2-0 in the promotion. Both of those wins have come by split decision and the most recent win came in April against Fabricio Guerreiro.
