Lightweights Carrington Banks, Adam Piccolotti to Clash at Bellator 199 in San Jose

Lightweight prospects Carrington Banks and Adam Piccolotti will lock horns at Bellator 199 on May 12.

Sherdog.com confirmed the pairing, as well as a women’s featherweight tilt between Janay Harding and Amber Leibrock, with a promotion official following an initial report from MMAFighting.com. Bellator 199 takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and is headlined by a heavyweight grand prix bout pitting Ryan Bader against Muhammed Lawal. The main card will be televised on the Paramount Network.

Banks owns a 7-0 career record that includes a trio of triumphs under the Bellator banner. Most recently, the 28-year-old outpointed Steve Kozola at Bellator 184 on Oct. 6. Banks’ last five victories have all come via decision.

Piccolotti, meanwhile, began his professional tenure with nine straight triumphs, including a decision triumph over Brandon Girtz in his third Bellator appearance. Last year, however, the 29-year-old Californian went 0-2, falling to Goiti Yamauchi via submission and David Rickels via decision.
