Bellator 242 gets Sidney Outlaw vs. Adam Piccolotti, three additional bouts

Four fights have been added to the Bellator 242 lineup, complimenting a championship main and co-main event.

Before Ryan Bader defends his title against Vadim Nemkov, and Gegard Mousasi faces Douglas Lima for the vacant middleweight belt, lightweights Sidney Outlaw and Adam Piccolotti will square off.

MMA Junkie confirmed the booking with a promotion official following an initial report from Fansided.

Bellator 242 takes place May 9 at SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. The event airs on Paramount and streams on DAZN following prelims on MMA Junkie.

Outlaw (14-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) debuted with the promotion with a victory over veteran Roger Huerta. However, in December, he stepped up as a short-notice replacement and was knocked out by Michael Chandler in 179 seconds.

Meanwhile, Piccolotti (12-3 MMA, 8-3 BMMA) has won three out of four fights entering Bellator 242. After he lost a split decision to former UFC champ Benson Henderson in April 2019, Piccolotti reentered the win column with a second-round submission of Jake Smith in September.

A welterweight fight between Joaquin Lopez (5-1, 0-0 BMMA) and James Terry (20-11 MMA, 4-5 BMMA), as well as a flyweight fight between Jonathan Adams (0-1-1 MMA, 0-1-1 BMMA) and Edwin de los Santos (0-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and a 165-pound contractweight fight between Mikey Gonzalez (7-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Arturo Hernandez (4-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).

With the additions, the Bellator 242 lineup is as follows:

• Ryan Bader vs. Vadim Nemkov – for light heavyweight title
• Gegard Mousasi vs. Douglas Lima – for vacant middleweight title
• Sidney Outlaw vs. Adam Piccolotti
• Joaquin Lopez vs. James Terry
