With nearly a decade of professional fights to his name, Silva is an incredible 14-1 sa kanyang nakalipas 15 pangkalahatang pagpapakita. His only loss during that run was a 25-minute decision against former Bellator MMA Bantamweight World Champion Joe Warren. Seventeen of Silva’s 22 karera na panalo na dumating sa pamamagitan ng pagpapatigil, including eight knockouts and nine submissions.

 

A former cast member on Bellator MMA’s “Fight Master” serye, Matthews fought most recently in November, earning a decision win over Kyle Bolt. He now meets undefeated prospect Reiter, an intriguing individual who left Wall Street to pursue a career in MMA and now fights for the second time under the Bellator MMA banner after spending much of his early career in Peru.

 

Kozola, ng San Diego, Calif., fights for the second time under the Bellator MMA banner after debuting with a knockout victory over Jonathan Rivera in January.
