Kobayashi will enter his featherweight bout with Goiti Yamauchi as a +150 underdog at Bellator 144 on Friday in Uncasville, Connecticut.
ANALYSIS
In his most recent fight, Kobayashi earned a unanimous decision victory over UFC veteran Will Chope. A former "King of Pancrase", Kobayashi boasts eight wins by KO/TKO, along with two by submission and seven by decision. With victories over tough opponents such as Koji Oishi, Kazuki Tokudome, and Marlon Sandro, Kobayashi will surely give Yamauchi all he can handle in his promotional debut.
