Лос-Анджелес – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Сільва, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends Тіто Ортіз і Ройс Грейсі during an exclusive Fan Fest on П'ятниця, Червень 23 починаючи з 8 p.m. І at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

 

Дейв & Бастера, a season-long partner of Bellator MMA, is offering Bellator Nation members the chance to meet two of the biggest names in the sport. Fan Fest is free for Bellator Nation Members with RSVP, who can sign up at www.Bellator.com/fan-fest.

 

Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, Тіто Ортіз is a fan-favorite across the world. Utilizing his wrestling background, Ortiz was a punishing competitor who defended his title an impressive five times. Always with a flair for the dramatic, Ortiz engaged in several intense rivalries over his career with the likes of Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell. Under the direction of Bellator MMA, the 42-year-old Ortiz claimed a trio of victories that included a pair of first-round finishes over Alexander Shlemenko and Chael Sonnen.

 

Назва Грейсі є синонімом MMA, and that is in large part to Ройс Грейсі, Людина, яка, як вважається, винайшов спорту, як ми його знаємо сьогодні. The winner of the first several UFC events, Gracie dismantled multiple opponents in a single night, many of which were much larger than him. For many years, there was no answer for the Gracie jiu-jitsu technique that he brought to the cage. Сьогодні, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. У лютому 2016, Gracie headlined Bellator 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.
