A pair of recent Bellator winners used their performances to score contracts with the promotion.
Bellator officials today informed MMAjunkie that both Kent Kaupinnen (11-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) and Domingos Barros (6-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) have signed multi-fight deals with the California-based organization.
Both were on one-fight deals at Bellator 211, which took place in Italy earlier this month. However, after each picked up first-round finishes, Kaupinnen and Barros each earned a longer look from the company.
England’s Kauppinen also fought for Bellator earlier this year, suffering a submission loss to Walter Gahadza at Bellator 200. However, he returned at Bellator 211 in a headlining slot against local favorite Alessio Sakara. Kauppinen played the role of spoiler, needed just 70 seconds to score a knockout win and silence the Italian crowd.
Meanwhile, Barros made his promotional debut at Bellator 211. The heavyweight kept his career record perfect, scoring a TKO win over kickboxing vet Hesdy Gerges. Portugal’s Barros has four knockout victories in his six career wins.
