Cosmo Alexandre confirmed for Bellator 62

Several times champion of the main Muay Thai tournaments in the world, Cosmo Alexandre is willing to invest in MMA. The Brazilian accepted a challenge at short notice and is confirmed on the preliminary card of Bellator 62, an event that takes place this Friday (22) in Texas.

Cosmo, who turns 30 next month, will have his third fight as an MMA professional. After being defeated in his debut by Josh Quayhagen, the Brazilian managed to redeem himself by beating Avery McPhatter with a devastating knockout just 20 seconds into the fight.
