BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT BETWEEN EDUARDO DANTAS AND DARRION CALDWELL TO HEADLINE BELLATOR 184 אויף אקטאבער 6 AT WINSTAR WORLD CASINO AND RESORT

 

מער, FORMER BELLATOR FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL STRAUS MEETS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ IN CO-MAIN EVENT

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Bellator returns to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, אָקלאַ. for the third time in 2017 אויף פרייַטיק, אָקטאָבער 6 פֿאַר בעללאַטאָר 184: Dantas vs. Caldwell.

די הויפּט געשעעניש פון בעללאַטאָר 184 will feature Bellator’s two-time bantamweight champion Eduardo דאַנטאַס (20-4) defending his belt against דאַרריאָן "דער וואלף" קאָלדוועל (10-1). דערצו, the co-feature pits former featherweight titleholder דניאל סטראַוס (24-7, 1 נק) competing against עממאַנועל "אל מאַטאַדאָר" סאַנטשעז (15-3). The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. טיקקעץ פֿאַר בעללאַטאָר 184: Dantas vs. Caldwell are on sale now and can be purchased at the WinStar World Casino and Resort box office, as well as Ticketmaster and Bellator.com. Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.

Originally, Dantas and Caldwell were scheduled to compete for the title at בעללאַטאָר 177; אָבער, when Caldwell was forced to withdraw due to injury, “Dudu” went on to defeat לעאַנדראָ היגאָ, besting his opponent on short notice. Hailing from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, the flashy 27-year-old is widely known as one of the most dynamic competitors in the division, recording victories in 13 פון זיין לעצטע 15 ענדס. Currently in the midst of his second stint as Bellator’s bantamweight world champion, Dantas will look to stop Caldwell’s meteoric rise to the top of the 135-pound division.

Coming off a victory over Joe Taimanglo בייַ בעללאַטאָר 167, the 29-year-old Caldwell will be competing for promotional gold for the first time in his career on October 6. “The Wolf” was able to avenge his earlier loss to Taimanglo, earning his 10th career victory. Caldwell has collected five wins by way of first-round knockout or submission, making him one of the most dangerous competitors at 135-pounds. Hailing from Rahway, נ.דזש. and training alongside Bellator stars פיל דייוויס און דזשאַסטין לאָראַנס at Alliance MMA in San Diego, קאַליף., Caldwell has quickly put together an impressive professional resume inside the cage, highlighted by a remarkable first-round finish over former multi-division champion דזשאָו וואָראַן.

One half of some of the greatest fights to ever take place inside the Bellator cage, Daniel Straus returns to action following his featherweight title bout against Patricio “Pitbull” בייַ בעללאַטאָר 178 this past April. A longtime member of American Top Team in Coconut Creek, פלאַ., the 32-year-old will be competing for the second time in 2017. The two-time champion returns to action with redemption on his mind, as he looks to climb back up the 145-pound ranks and earn a shot for the title that he still considers to be his.

Since debuting with Bellator MMA in 2014, the 26-year-old Sanchez has gone about his business by taking on the top competitors that Bellator’s featherweight division has to offer, מלחמה פּאַט קורראַן, געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן, דזשאַסטין לאָראַנס און Marcos גאַלוואַאָ en route to his meeting with Straus at בעללאַטאָר 184. Proclaiming that he hopes to eventually become the “Oscar De La Hoya of MMA,” Sanchez is well on his way, earning six victories since 2015. Training at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wis., “El Matador” trains alongside some of the world’s elite fighters, making his matchup with Straus that much more intriguing.

BELLATOR MMA SIGNS TOP-RANKED MIDDLEWEIGHT GEGARD MOUSASI TO EXCLUSIVE MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT

 

PROMOTIONAL DEBUT TO BE ANNOUNCED IN COMING DAYS

לאס אנדזשעלעסBellator MMA is proud to announce the signing of perennial top contender געגאַרד מאָוסאַסי צו אַ ויסשליסיק, מולטי-קאַמף אָפּמאַך.

 

Long-considered to be one of the elite two-division threats in MMA, Mousasi joins Bellator currently riding a five-fight win streak that includes recent knockout victories over two former world champions in Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort. Prior to his UFC tenure, Mousasi captured the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles in Japan. The signing sees Mousasi rejoin Bellator President סקאַט קאָקער following his successful run with STRIKEFORCE from 2009-2013.

“I’m thrilled to welcome Gegard to the growing Bellator family,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “He’s one of the most well-rounded fighters in all of MMA and can compete in multiple divisions, so that really opens up some exciting matchmaking opportunities for us and for the fans. We’re looking forward to having him compete on Spike very soon.”

“I am looking forward to fighting in Bellator,” added Mousasi. “I have a long-standing relationship with Scott Coker that goes back many years. Be ready, I am coming after the Bellator middleweight championship.”

The Iranian-born Mousasi, who currently trains out of The Netherlands, has amassed an overall career record of 42-6-2 and has earned victories over some of the sports’ biggest names, including Dan Henderson, “Jacare” Souza, Mark Hunt, Ovince Saint-Preux, מעלווין מאַנהאָעף, Hector Lombard and “Babalu” Sobral. The addition of Mousasi adds depth to an ever-growing Bellator roster, which has recently seen free agents ראָרי מאַקדאַנאַלד, Lorenz Larkin, Michael McDonald and current Bellator light heavyweight champ רייאַן באַדער join the Viacom-owned promotion.

‘SMOOTH’ BENSON HENDERSON RETURNS TO FACE PATRICKY ‘PITBULL’ AT BELLATOR 183 אויף שבת, סעפּטעמבער 23 IN SAN JOSE

RAYMOND DANIELS

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Bellator returns home to SAP Center in San Jose, קאַליף. אויף שבת, סעפּטעמבער 23 פֿאַר בעללאַטאָר 183 און Bellator Kickboxing 7, which features the return of former world champ “Smooth” Benson Henderson (24-7) taking on the always-dangerous Patricky “Pitbull” (17-8), while current Bellator welterweight kickboxing champ Karim Ghajji (97-13-1) defends his title against the flashy Raymond Daniels (11-3).

דערצו, בעללאַטאָר 183: הענדערסאָן ווס. פּיטבולל will also feature the promotional debut of Roy “Big Country” Nelson (23-14) who meets California’s own Javy “Eye Candy” Ayala (10-5) in an explosive heavyweight showdown. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.

בעללאַטאָר 183: הענדערסאָן ווס. פּיטבולל will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets for the event go on sale Thursday, יוני 29 בייַ 10:00 אַ.ם. PST and are available at Ticketmaster.com.

Following what many considered to be 2016’s “Fight of the Year” against Michael Chandler, Henderson took time off to deal with nagging injuries. איצט, the 33-year-old is back to 100-percent and ready to take on the other “Pitbull” brother, following a victory against Bellator’s current featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull”at Bellator 160 אין אויגוסט פון לעצט יאָר. With wins against Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone, Frankie עדגאַר, Gilbert Melendez and Jorge Masvidal already in his nearly 11 years as a professional, “Smooth” is healthy again and looking for another championship run in his already-impressive career.

Patricky “Pitbull” comes into this bout seeking revenge against Henderson following his TKO win over younger brother, פּאַטריק. The Rio Grande Do Norte, Brazil product steps inside the Bellator cage for the18th time in his professional career and will be looking to build on an impressive start to his 2017 קאַמפּיין. Having won seven of his last 10 ענדס, including a second-round finish of Josh Thomson at בעללאַטאָר 172 אין פעברואר, the 31-year-old has seen 11 פון זיין 12 career finishes come by way of knockout.

The inaugural Bellator welterweight kickboxing champion, Ghajji, traded victories with Zoltan Laszak on his road to meeting Daniels on September 23. The 36-year-old, known to many by the nickname “Gadjetboy,” will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator Kickboxing umbrella, and will look to successfully defend his title for the first time since reclaiming the belt in April at Bellator Kickboxing 6 אין אונגארן.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Daniels will bring his aggressive, one-of-a-kind karate style to Northern California for the first time since debuting with Bellator last year. Undefeated with the promotionearning three stoppages in four outings“The Real Deal” will look to punish the body of Ghajji when Daniels competes to claim his first world kickboxing title.

קאַמף פון לאַס וועגאַס, Nelson makes his Bellator debut following an eight-year, 19-fight run with UFC that saw him earn wins over Mirko Cro Cop, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, “Bigfoot” Silva and Cheick Kongo. מיט 19 פון זיין 22 קאַריערע ווינס קומענדיק דורך וועג פון נאַקאַוט אָדער סאַבמישאַן, “Big Country” is ready to make his return to Spike, where he memorably defeated the late Kimbo Slice and later went on to win season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Ayala will enter the Bellator cage against Nelson looking for another shocking upset following his last outing against Sergei Kharitonov at בעללאַטאָר 163, where Ayala stole the show against Kharitonov by stopping the Russian heavyweight with a powerful punch a mere 16-seconds into the first round. איצט, given the opportunity to formally welcome Nelson to the Bellator fray, “Eye Candy” is looking to stun the crowd once again and firmly establish himself as a threat to the entire heavyweight division. With all five of Ayala’s wins in Bellator coming by way of stoppage, the matchup with Nelson is sure to produce fireworks.

BELLATOR NATION INVITED TO EXCLUSIVE FAN FEST DURING BELLATOR NYC FIGHT WEEK

 

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

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, בעללאַטאָר ניק: Sonnen vs. סילוואַ, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends טיטאָ אָרטיז און רויס גרייסי during an exclusive Fan Fest on פרייַטיק, יוני 23 אָנהייב בייַ 8 פּ.ם. און at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

 

דייוו & בוסטער ס, 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, טיטאָ אָרטיז 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.

 

די נאָמען גרייסי איז סאַנאַנאַמאַס מיט ממאַ, and that is in large part to רויס גרייסי, די מענטשן וואס איז געהאלטן צו האָבן ינווענטאַד די ספּאָרט ווי מיר וויסן עס הייַנט. 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. הייַנט, 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 בעללאַטאָר 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.
