Filed under: Bellator , News Going into his lightweight fight against Adam Piccolotti at Bellator 183 eight days ago, Goiti Yamauch i didn’t show much regard for his opponent’s skills. And that confidence in himself came in spite of the fact Piccolotti (9-1 MMA, 5-1 BMMA) came into the fight with Yamauchi (22-3 MMA, 8-2 BMMA) unbeaten. But Yamauchi backed up his talk with a second-round submission win at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and put himself right in the mix at 155 pounds with his third wins since moving to the division. “I always respect all fighters who step into the cage with me, or against anyone else,” Yamauchi told MMAjunkie.
