INGLEWOOD, Calif. – Leandro Higo snapped a two-fight losing streak on Saturday, and already he has two opponents in mind for his next fight. Higo submitted Shawn Bunch via guillotine choke in the second round at Bellator 228, and he wants James Gallagher or Erik Perez next. Speaking to MMA Junkie and other reporters, with the help of his coach Eric Albarracin’s translation, Higo sported a luchador mask backstage at The Forum in reference to the recently signed Perez. “The reason for this mask is because I want to fight the best,” Higo said.
