HONOLULU – Hawaii’s Cheyden Leialoha takes on hot prospect Raufeon Stots as the two bantamweight prospects make their respective promotional debuts Saturday at Bellator 236. And although his opponent has been strongly favored by the oddsmakers, the man known as “Steadfast” is appropriately strong in his belief that he can get the job done on home soil.
Leialoha (7-1, 0-0 BMMA) has four rear-naked choke submissions to his name, including in his most recent outing back in April 2018 at Neal S. Blaisdell Center.
And now, after an 18-month layoff, Leialoha returns to the same venue looking to score the biggest win of his career against Stots (12-1, 0-0 BMMA) as he looks to make a big first impression on his Bellator debut.
Watch Leialoha’s full media day interview with MMA Junkie in the video above.
