Stots will face a formidable challenge in Breno, a 26-year-old up-and-comer who has won three of his last four fights. He suffered his first Bellator loss to Sabatello at Bellator 294 last year.
Breno won his Bellator debut at Bellator 284 in 2022 after brief stints in organizations such as LFA and Arest FC. He enters Bellator Champions Series: San Diego with a 15-3-0 professional MMA record.
Stots and Breno are both looking to keep pace in the Bellator bantamweight title picture. Stots, in particular, hopes to earn a potential rematch with Mix with an impressive victory over Breno.
As for Breno, he could emerge as a top contender with a win over a proven veteran like Stots. Mix’s next title defense has yet to be booked, as of this writing, since a close win over Magomedov earlier this year in Paris.
As of this writing, the main event for Bellator Champions Series: San Diego has yet to be revealed. In addition to the Stots vs. Breno booking, Lorenz Larkin and Luke Trainer will make their Bellator returns on the card.
