Jordan Young is set to make his light heavyweight debut against Jamal Pogues at Bellator 201 on June 29 in Temecula, California.

Highly touted middleweight prospect Jordan Young will make the jump up to the light heavyweight division to challenge Jamal Pogues at Bellator 201 in June. Sources close to the promotion confirmed to FanSided on Tuesday night.

Young (8-0) has emerged as one of Bellator MMA’s most promising prospects. In his most recent outing, the Iowa native scored a first-round submission over Alec Hooben at Bellator 185 in October. This performance not only kept Young’s perfect record intact, it marked his sixth career submission win.

Prior to his victory over Hooben, Young earned a thrilling submission win against Tim Caraon at Bellator 178, where fans saw him secure an impressive D’Arce choke from bottom. Young also fought Chris Harris to a decision in his promotional debut at Bellator 171.

Pogues (3-1), who will be stepping into the Bellator cage for the first time, is coming off a first-round knockout over Philip Tobin. ‘The Stormtrooper’ had previously finished Dante Harrell earlier in the night on the very same card.

To date, the California native has yet to reach the judges’ scorecards, as he’s finished all three of his victories while being knocked out just once, which came during his professional debut.

Bellator 201 is currently slated to take place on June 29 at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California. The event will air live in prime time on Paramount Network. A women’s flyweight title fight between reigning champion lima-Lei Macfarlane and Alejandra Lara will serve as the main event.
