Since signing with Bellator MMA in 2017, Sam Sicilia has competed in three fights for the promotion, winning two and losing one. That one defeat was via an arm-triangle choke submission at the hands of Emmanuel Sanchez at Bellator 198.

With a win over fellow Featherweight Grand Prix competitor Derek Campos in his last bout, Sicilia will be confident about his fight against Carvalho, who similarly holds a win over Campos from his last fight in the promotion, as well.

Carvalho has competed in three fights for Bellator so far and has won all three, holding wins over Campos, Luca Vitali, and Daniel Crawford. The Portuguese fighter has suffered just three losses in his MMA career, opposing to Sicilia who nine defeats to his name.

At Bellator 226, we could certainly expect Carvalho to put on another impressive show and eventually secure the win over Sicilia.

Winner: Sam Sicilia defeats Pedro Carvalho
