Top Blackzilian heavyweight prospect Lorenzo Hood has signed a four-fight deal with Bellator instead of the UFC and is shooting for a mid-summer debut.
Lorenzo "The Samoan Silverback" Hood, a 6'3, 265-pound Blackzilian top prospect, has elected to sign a four fight deal with the Bellator brand versus signing with the UFC. Under the tutelage of former UFC champion Rashad Evans, Hood is looking for for a mid-summer debut with the Viacom promotion, and is looking for a fight with Bobby Lashley. He hopes to tackle three tilts in 2015. And with Lashley set to settle the score with James Thompson at Bellator 138, the Samoan Silverback will most likely have to debut against a different, and possibly lesser known, opponent.
