With an 11-1 record including three straight wins in Bellator, Costello van Steenis knows he’s inching closer and closer to his ultimate goal to become middleweight champion.
This weekend at Bellator in London, van Steenis faces Mike Shipman, who is coming in with 13 straight wins including decisive finishes in every single one of his victories.
The winner of the fight should be poised for a run at the championship over the next year, which is exactly why van Steenis was excited for this matchup.
“It’s a perfect matchup,” van Steenis said when speaking to MMAFighting.
