GEGARD MOUSASI DEFENDS BELLATOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST UNBEATEN RAFAEL LOVATO JR.

LOS ANGELES – The co-main event of Bellator’s return to the “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, Calif. gen. 26 will see reigning middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi (45-6-2) defend his title against undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Rafael Lovato Jr. (9-0).

 

 

 

The main event of the card will feature the Finals of the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix, where the greatest heavyweight of all-time Fedor Emelianenko (38-5, 1 NC) faces current light heavyweight champ Ryan Bader (26-5) for the Bellator world heavyweight title. A recently added featherweight bout will pit super-prospect Aaron Pico (4-1) against the always-tough Henry Corrales (16-3). Ulteriori attacchi saranno annunciati nelle prossime settimane.

 

 

 

Biglietti Bellator 214: Fedor vs. Bader are on sale now and can be purchased at the Forum box office, as well as Bellator.com and Ticketmaster.com. L'evento sarà trasmesso in diretta e gratis su Paramount Network all'indirizzo 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT and will be simulcast live on DAZN. Preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and globally on the Bellator Mobile App.

 

 

 

Combattere fuori Leida, Olanda meridionale, Paesi Bassi, Gegard Mousasi will be looking to follow-up his decisive TKO victory over Rory MacDonald a Bellator 206 in what will be his second title defense since becoming champion earlier this year. “The Dreamcatcher” is currently in the midst of an impressive eight-fight win streak that dates back to 2016. The 33-year-old judo black belt has dominated the stacked middleweight class since signing with Bellator in 2017, collecting three victories in as many bouts, including a pair of knockouts against Rafael Carvalho and MacDonald in both of his world title fights. The former Strikeforce champion, who debuted in impressive fashion against Aleksandr Šlemenko, now looks to extend his current win streak and defend the middleweight belt for the second time in just five months.

 

 

 

Rafael Lovato Jr. will be making his sixth appearance for Bellator, a bout where not only will the 35-year-old’s unblemished mark of 9-0 be on the line, but also a world championship belt. Since signing with the Viacom-owned promotion in 2017, the Oklahoma City-based fighter has tallied five wins and four finishes, three of which came in the opening round, including his most recent submission win over top middleweight contender John Salter a Bellator 205. A fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the former Legacy FC middleweight champ will finally have his shot at Bellator gold when he takes on current 185-pound champion Mousasi in the co-main event of Bellator’s return to Los Angeles on Jan. 26.

Combattimento da Stary Oskol, Oblast 'di Belgorod, Russia, Fedor Emelianenko enters the Heavyweight World Grand Prix Finals on the heels of consecutive first-round knockouts over Chael Sonnen e Frank Mir in the tourney’s semifinals and opening round, rispettivamente. Un ex PRIDE FC campione dei pesi massimi e l'orgoglio 2004 World Heavyweight Champion Grand Prix, “The Last Emperor” is now one win away from claiming Bellator gold. Spesso definito come “The Goat” di fan in tutto il mondo, his career resume stands as one of the most impressive in the history of the sport with victories over AntônioRodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Mark Hunt, Mark Coleman e Andrei Arlovski, per citarne alcuni.

Attempting to become a simultaneous two-division titleholder, Ryan Bader’s path to the rare achievement is nearly complete.

Fighting out of Gilbert, Ariz., the former two-time NCAA Division I All-American wrestler from Arizona State University began his professional career with a 12-fight unbeaten streak and by winning season eight of The Ultimate Fighter. "Darth" ha continuato il suo percorso di dominio raccogliendo vittorie su alcuni dei migliori talenti della divisione 205 libbre, comprese le vittorie su ex campioni del mondo "Rampage" Jackson, Rashad Evans, Phil Davis e Rafael “Feijão” Cavalcante, as well as Ovince Saint Preux, Vinny Magalhães and Linton Vassell.

L'ex campione dei pesi massimi UFC Frank Mir torna alla gabbia di Bellator dopo la sua emozionante battaglia avanti e indietro con Fedor Emelianenko l'ultima primavera. Con la carriera vince Roy Nelson, Antonio “Big Nog” Nogueira (x2), Brock Lesnar e Mirko Cro Cop, la cintura nera brasiliana di jiu-jitsu cerca un'altra vittoria impressionante da aggiungere alla sua illustre carriera.

Conosciuto dai fan come "Eye Candy,"Il peso massimo ha anche sconfitto in modo impressionante Eric Prindle e Raphael Butler. Combattendo da Porterville, Calif., Ayala ritorna sperando di scioccare ancora una volta il mondo e sconfiggere uno dei più grandi pesi massimi nella storia delle MMA.
