Bellator MMA has locked up Goiti Yamauchi for the foreseeable future, signing the 24-year-old to a long-term contract extension.
Yamauchi is 8-2 over 10 career Bellator fights since 2013, winning his last three by finish. He is 22-3 overall in his career and now competes in the lightweight division after a 5-2 run at featherweight.
The 24-year-old scored a submission win over Ryan Couture in 2016, following it up with a triangle-choke victory over Valeriu Mircea to close out the year. So far in 2017, Yamauchi has fought just once, choking out Adam Piccolotti and dealing him his first career loss.
News of the contract signing was first reported by MMA Fighting.
