Emmanuel Sanchez vs. Sam Sicilia to co-headline Bellator 198
Emmanuel Sanchez will try to continue his hot streak against a hard-hitting UFC veteran.
The Bellator featherweight contender takes on Sam Sicilia in the co-main event of Bellator 198 on April 28 in the Chicago area, the promotion announced Monday on Twitter.
Sanchez (16-3) has won three straight and six of his last seven. The Roufusport product most recently defeated former champion Daniel Straus by third-round submission at Bellator 184 in October. Sanchez, 27, would likely earn a title shot against champion Patricio Freire if he wins.
