John Kolosci hoped his latest victory would propel him back to another shot with a major promotion, and it appears that it has.

Kolosci, a veteran of Season 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” told MMA Fighting on Monday he has signed a one-fight deal with Bellator and will face unbeaten Kenny Robertson on the promotion’s Aug. 19 card at the Chicago Theatre.

Kolosci (14-6) is coming off the biggest win of his career, a submission of nine-fight UFC veteran Luigi Fioravanti in just 42 seconds. He delivered a strong right that floored Fioravanti early in their main-event welterweight fight at the Hoosier Fight Club 4 show in Gary, Ind., 10 days ago. He then went to the ground, took Fioravanti’s back and locked in a rear-naked choke to end the fight.
