Visa Issues Delay Ronnie Mann’s Bellator Debut, Pushed Back to April 23

Ronnie Mann and Tetsuya Yamada at Sengoku 7

Ronnie Mann’s Bellator debut will be delayed by a few weeks after visa issues kept him from entering the United States for his fight scheduled for Bellator 40 on April 9 against Josh Arocho.

Sources close to the fighter’s camp confirmed the news to MMAWeekly.com on Monday.

Mann was set to make his debut after a successful career in Sengoku over his last few fights. The rising featherweight start has gone 18-2-1 overall.

Once Mann gets his visa issues sorted out, he is now expected to make his Bellator debut on April 23 at Bellator 42 in Oklahoma.

Mann is still expected to face Arocho in his first fight with the promotion.
