Bellator has added another finisher to its roster.
Undefeated featherweight Julio Cesar Neves Junior, better known in Brazil simply as “Morceguinho”, has signed a deal with Bellator after racking up an impressive 28-0 record in the Brazilian regional circuit.
The 19-year-old fighter has gone the distance only three times in his career, finishing 17 fights via knockout — including this “knockout of the year” candidate — and eight via submission since his MMA debut on October 2011.
Neves, the younger brother of Bellator tournament winner Rafael “Morcego” Silva (21-3), has won 18 fights over the last 12 months, and the date and opponent for his Bellator debut are yet to be announced.
