MEET MMA LEGENDS TITO ORTIZ AND ROYCE GRACIE ON FRIDAY, JUNE 23 AT DAVE & BUSTER’S TIMES SQUARE

洛杉矶 – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. 席尔瓦, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends 蒂托·奥尔蒂斯 和 罗伊斯格雷西 during an exclusive Fan Fest on 星期五, 六月 23 在开始 8 P.M. AND at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

 

戴夫 & 巴斯特的, 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, 蒂托·奥尔蒂斯 is a fan-favorite across the world. 利用他的摔跤背景, 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.

 

这个名字是格雷西的代名词MMA, and that is in large part to 罗伊斯格雷西, 谁被认为是男人发明了这项运动，因为我们今天所知道的. 前几UFC赛事的冠军, Gracie dismantled multiple opponents in a single night, 其中许多比他大得多. For many years, there was no answer for the Gracie jiu-jitsu technique that he brought to the cage. 今天, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. 在二月 2016, Gracie headlined Bellator 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.

 

Headlined by the long-awaited bout between two of the biggest names in mixed martial arts history, Chael Sonnen的 (29-15-1) 和万德雷·席尔瓦 (35-12-1, 1 NC), Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. 席尔瓦 airs live on pay-per-view beginning at 10 P.M. AND/7 P.M. PT. Emanating from Madison Square in New York City, the mecca of combat sports, this blockbuster event includes a heavyweight bout between MMA legend 费多尔艾米连科 和强硬 Matt Mitrione, along with two championship bouts, 含 道格拉斯·利马 (28-6) defending his 170-pound strap against 洛伦茨·拉尔金(18-5, 1 NC) and current lightweight champion 迈克尔·钱德勒 (16-3) putting his world title on the line against the undefeated 布伦特博智 (7-0).

 

Prior to the pay-per-view, SPIKE will air Bellator 180: 戴维斯VS. Bader LIVE and FREE on both coasts beginning at 8 P.M. AND/5 P.M. PT. The event is headlined by a light heavyweight title bout between current champ 菲尔·戴维斯 (17-3, 1 NC) 和顶级竞争者 瑞安贝德 (22-5). 另外, Bellator 180 prelims will air exclusively on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App at 6 P.M.
