Chris Honeycutt to Appeal “Disappointing” Split Decision Loss to Costello van Steenis

Bellator middleweight Chris Honeycutt is set to appeal his loss to Costello van Steenis from their Bellator 210 fight that occurred on Nov. 30. Honeycutt will meet with the Chickasaw Nation, the governing body which oversaw Bellator 210 in Thackerville, OK, on Feb. 6 to plead his case.

Honeycutt officially lost the fight to van Steenis via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). Van Steenis won the third round on each card, while Honeycutt took the second round. However, two judges gave van Steenis the first round, which gave him the nod.
