Chinzo Machida, the older brother of former Ultimate Fighting Championship light heavyweight titleholder Lyoto Machida, will make his Bellator MMA debut opposite Mario Navarro in a Bellator 160 prelim on Aug. 26 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Bellator officials on Monday announced the featherweight booking.
Machida, 39, will enter the cage on a modest two-fight winning streak. He has not fought since he was awarded a unanimous decision over Dmitry Gerasimov under the Resurrection Fighting Alliance banner in June 2014.
