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

洛杉磯 – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. 席爾瓦, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends 蒂托·奧爾蒂斯 和 羅伊斯格雷西 during an exclusive Fan Fest on 星期五, 六月 23 在開始 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·奧爾蒂斯 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.

 

這個名字是格雷西的代名詞MMA, and that is in large part to 羅伊斯格雷西, 誰被認為是男人發明了這項運動，因為我們今天所知道的. 前幾個UFC賽事的冠軍, 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. 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. In February of 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) 和萬德雷·席爾瓦 (35-12-1, 1 NC), Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. 席爾瓦 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 費多爾艾米連科 和強硬 馬特·米特里恩, along with two championship bouts, 含 道格拉斯·利馬 (28-6) defending his 170-pound strap against 勞倫斯·拉金(18-5, 1 NC) and current lightweight champion 邁克爾·錢德勒 (16-3) putting his world title on the line against the undefeated 布倫特博智 (7-0).

 

Prior to the pay-per-view, SPIKE will air Bellator 180: 戴維斯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 菲爾·戴維斯 (17-3, 1 NC) 和頂級競爭者 瑞安貝德 (22-5). 另外, Bellator 180 prelims will air exclusively on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App at 6 P.M.
