Joe Warren (13-4) срещу. Darrion Caldwell (8-0)

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Сега, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Marcos Galvao early in 2015. A 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, борба.

 

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Гъсто населена бедняшка къща] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

Фернандо Гонзалес (24-13) срещу. Gilbert Smith (12-4)

Гонзалес взе кратка пауза от ВМА, за да се конкурират на кикбокс част на първата копка "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 " събитие през септември, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul "Semtex" Daley. Гонзалес се връща в своята зона на комфорт на ВМА, където е нанизани впечатляващ четири поредни победи. Ветеран от Скот Кокър обоснована насърчаване на Strikeforce, както и World Extreme Cagefighting, Гонзалес се състезава професионално от 2003.

 

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Полунощ Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

 

Ямаучи нагоре (19-2) срещу. Bubba Jenkins (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Mike Ричман, Martin Стейпълтън, и Исао Кобаяши. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 на неговата 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

 

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, най-скоро, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Jordan Parsons.

 

Sirwan Kakai (12-3) срещу. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 битки. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

 

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 завършва в неговата 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.
