Hailing from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on March 13. With impressive wins to his name over דניאל סטראַוס (קס 3), דניאל וועיטשעל (x2) און פּאַט קורראַן, the 32-year old continues in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship win over מיכאל טשאַנדלער in May of last year. Having earned a finish in 21 פון זיין 30 ווינס ווי אַ פאַכמאַן, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested Juan Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round grand prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he meets Carvalho on March 13.
Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 קאַנטעס, including against דערעק פיעלדס, Daniel Crawford and a face crank submission over סאַם סיסילי אין די עפן קייַלעכיק, the 23-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of becoming an elite force in the 145-pound division – winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.
מיט איבער 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated grand prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of nearly four years ago at בעללאַטאָר 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, פּאַט קורראַן,געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן און Saul Rogers.
On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the grand prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the undefeated 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, דניאל וועיטשעל. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc. resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, דניאל סטראַוס, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2רענטגענ).
