Adam Piccolotti vs. Carrington Banks among Bellator 199 additions

The fight card is nearly full for next month’s Bellator 199 card in California.

The latest main-card addition features lightweight prospects Adam Piccolotti (9-2 MMA, 5-2 BMMA) vs. Carrington Banks (7-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC).

Bellator officials confirmed the booking with MMAjunkie following an initial report from MMAFighting.com.

Bellator takes place May 12 at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. The main card airs on Paramount following prelims on MMAjunkie, though the full fight card and bout order haven’t been finalized.

Piccolotti, a 29-year-old Californian, made a quick splash in Bellator and won his first five bouts to push his overall pro record to 9-0. However, in his two most recent fights, he’s suffered a submission loss to Goiti Yamauchi and a decision defeat to David Rickels (in a 160-pound catchweight fight), who replaced injured Derek Anderson

He now meets Banks, an undefeated 29-year-old who’s scored decision victories over C.J. Keith, Jake Roberts and Steve Kozola since debuting with Bellator in 2016. The former Legacy FC fighter was a cast member on “The Ultimate Fighter 21” and represented the Blackzilians, who faced off with American Top Team on the special edition of the reality series.
