Sporting an impressive undefeated record of 5-0, Lozano has dominated all of his fights to date, beating all five opponents he has faced by TKO or KO, with four of the five stoppages coming in the very first round. In his most recent outing, Lozano took out well rounded Pride/UFC veteran Jason Dent via fourth round TKO in an extremely impressive showing.
Growing up in Cleveland, Lozano struggled to find positive sports programs before eventually turning to MMA for his competitive release. Currently training out Strong Style Gym in Ohio, Lozano began boxing and Tae Kwon Do when he was a child. In middle school, Lozano turned to wrestling where he quickly made the Ohio National team for his age group and weight class before ultimately setting his sites on mixed martial arts.
"Chris Lozano brings proven knockout power to the welterweight division." said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. "He is a big welterweight that has tremendous potential to accomplish great things in Bellator at 170 lbs."
Lozano is admittedly anxious to show what he is capable of on the biggest platform of his fast-rising career.
"Fighting for an organization like Bellator Fighting Championship is a dream come true," said Lozano. "To finally get a chance to compete amongst the best in the world is something I have spent my entire life focusing on and dreaming of."
