PAIR OF UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS CHRIS HARRIS AND JORDAN YOUNG ALSO SLATED FOR MAIN CARD ACTION

Санта Моника, CALIF. (Ноември 28, 2016) – A lightweight bout pitting Kansas’ most popular MMA fighter David Рикелс (17-4, 2 NC) срещу Aaron Derrow (14-8) and a middleweight bout featuring undefeated phenom Крис Харис (7-0) срещу Джордан Йънг (5-0) are the first two fights announced for “Bellator 171” which will take place inside Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Канзас, януари 27.

“Bellator 171,” който се излъчва на живо по Spike в 9 p.m. И/8 p.m. CT, is expected to have a main event announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the event starting at just $24, влезе в продажба Събота, Декември. 3 with an exclusive two-day Bellator Nation pre-sale beginning November 30, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or KansasStarEventCenter.com. The event takes place one week after the extremely anticipated "Bellator 170: Ортис срещу. Sonnen ” in Inglewood, Халиф.

“The King of Kansas” will once again compete on the Spike-televised main card of Bellator MMA’s return to Kansas Star Arena. A 17-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Rickels will return to action for the first time since competing against Melvin Guillard this past summer. “The Caveman” has strung together an impressive career, totaling 11 wins over his seven years with the promotion, including four of his five career knockouts. A native of Derby, Канзас, Rickles recently delivered a brutal first round knockout in his co-main clash with Bobby Cooper at "Bellator 150: Конгоански срещу. Spartan.” The 27-year-old Rickels now prepares for Aaron Derrow, who enters the bout undefeated since joining Bellator MMA in 2014.

A native of Blue Springs, Мисури, Derrow has made an immediate impact on the promotion, collecting victories in each of his first two fights under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Following his hot start, “Daddy Long Legs” will now be tasked with one of the lightweight divisions most proven veterans in David Rickels. От неговите 14 кариерата печели, Derrow has finished his opponent in 12 от тях, включително и 10 of the submission variety. The 29-year-old Derrow has scored two knockouts, each of which came in the first twenty seconds of action. Derrow will have his hands full with Rickels and the raucous hometown crowd that follows him when the two enter the cage on Януари 27.

With an unblemished mark of 7-0, Harris enters the cage riding an impressive string of success to begin his professional career. Fighting out of Wichita, Канзас, Harris will have the luxury of competing in front of his home crowd as he prepares to make his third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner. Harris has a knack for finishing his opponents early and often, recording six wins by way of knockout or submission, including four in the first round. The 26-year-old knockout artist will look to build off of a commendable 2016 campaign that saw him emerge victorious in each of his three contests, including a pair of wins with the Scott Coker-led promotion.

Also boasting an undefeated record through five career bouts, the 22-year-old Young will make his promotional debut against the equally impressive Harris. Of his five career wins, four have come by way of submission, with each of the four finishes occurring in the opening round of action. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, the submission specialist had similar success on the amateur circuit, where he collected four submission victories over a five-fight span. Fighting out of Urbandale, Iowa, the 6’4’’ Young will also hold a significant height advantage over the 5’11’’ Harris as he prepares to challenge one of the most aggressive opponents of his career.

TICKETS FOR THE EVENT ON SALE NOW

Санта Моника, CALIF (Ноември 22, 2016) – The second main card fight announced for "Bellator 170: Ортис срещу. Sonnen ” at The Forum on Януари 21, 2017 features the Bellator MMA debut of Los Angeleno Ралек Грейси (3-0), who will meet Hisaki Kato (7-2) в среднотежка мач.

The fight joins a card that already features a contest that many mixed martial arts fans thought they’d never see, когато Tito Ortiz (18-12-1) и Chael Sonnen (28-14-1) return to action. Събитието ще бъде излъчено на живо и безплатно на SPIKE в 9 p.m. И/8 p.m. CT, докато предварителните действия ще се излъчват в Bellator.com и мобилното приложение Bellator.

Tickets for this massive event start at $36 и са в продажба сега в Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announcing in the coming weeks.

На само 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now. Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

Since joining the Bellator MMA roster, you would be hard-pressed to find a fighter who has been involved in more exciting matchups than Hisaki Kato. Nicknamed “The Japanese Mouseketeer,” the 34-year-old French-Japanese competitor has finished Джо Шилинг on two separate occasions, and was involved in what many called a “Round of the Year” candidate during his lone Bellator MMA loss against Melvin Manhoef в 2015. Сега, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 враг.

Q: За Бенсън ... Има ли някаква допълнителна мотивация да се докажете в тази битка след начина, по който приключи последната битка?

Benson Henderson: Бих казал, че няма много допълнителна мотивация в тази битка. Аз съм доста силно мотивиран човек. Искам да спечеля всичките си битки. Не се нуждая от допълнителни стимули. Искам да имам вдигната ръка във всяка една битка.

Q: Това е вашата втора битка за титлата в Bellator. Има ли нещо, което научихте от първата обиколка, която въвеждате в тази битка?

Benson Henderson: Не знам дали има нещо, което научих от последната битка за титлата, просто да се чувствам по -удобно в клетката на Bellator и да свикна с разходката и да намеря моя ритъм.

Q: Сега се борите за титлата. Мислите ли за себе си като за лек? Тук ли възнамерявате да отседнете или е възможно друго пътуване до средна категория в бъдеще?

Benson Henderson: Не бих казал, че смятам себе си за лек непременно. За мен, е 155 паунда. или 170 паунда., където и да са по -интересните и забавни мачове. Но, Първо най-важното, Трябва да се грижа за бизнеса в събота нощ.

Q: Споменахте забавни и интересни битки. Заглавието е нещо, за което мислите? Историята на седмицата е шампион в две дивизии в другата промоция. Това мечта ли си за себе си в кариерата си или просто искаш да останеш и да бъдеш най -доминиращият шампион в лека категория, който можеш да бъдеш?

Benson Henderson: Отивам да си взема този колан 155 паунда., но след това не бих казал, че коланите предлагат много допълнителни стимули. Очевидно коланите са страхотни и смисълът зад колана е, че си най -добрият на планетата и това означава много да кажеш, че си най -добрият в тази тежест, но не се боря непременно само за колана. Искаш колана, но в момента всичко, върху което се концентрирам, е четири дни от сега и човек на име Майкъл Чандлър.

Q: За Майкъл ... Мислили ли сте някога да опитате друг колан? Знам, че е в началото на титлата ти, но минало ли ви е това през ума? И, ако все пак сте отишли за друг колан, ще бъде ли за полусредна категория или полупечка?

Michael Chandler: Не съм се замислял много за това. За мен, Просто търся най -големия бой, който мога да получа. Знам, че няма как да направя 145 паунда., откакто обикалям около 190 паунда., между битките. Така, Не се интересувам от загуба на мускулна маса, за която съм работил толкова усилено. Ако нещо, Бих скочил до 170 паунда., но в момента съм съсредоточен върху битката си тази събота вечер и съм развълнуван да изляза и да изпълня.

Q: Защо Хендерсън е важен противник за вашата кариера?

Michael Chandler: Всеки противник е важен. Всеки път, когато се бием, поставяме се, препитанието ни, нашите записи, и нашата репутация на линия. При мен така се случва, Имам възможност да се бия с човек, който е бил шампион и е направил някои страхотни неща в спорта. Но за щастие, това е подходящото време за мен и грешното време за него. Изключително съм развълнуван да отида там и да направя изявление с тази битка в събота нощ. Той определено е страхотен, желаещ противник, но съм развълнуван да отида там и да завърша.

Q: За MVP ... Очевидно, това беше фантастична година за вас в Bellator, особено вашето представяне в Лондон. Имате ли пръст върху пулса на поп културата в момента и има ли нещо, от което черпите вдъхновение, което искате да използвате в някакъв развлекателен фактор в бойната нощ?

MVP: Да, Винаги съм социално осведомен, но първо трябва да свърша работата и това е най -важното.

Q: В момента, битките в различни класове на тегло и битките в множество дивизии изглеждат ярост в момента и знам, че в миналото споменахте възможността да се понижите до 155 паунда., това ли е нещо, което все още ви интересува?

MVP: В момента, не. Точно сега, Фокусиран съм само върху битките в полусредна категория.

Q: Ако можете да запишете победа над Фернандо Гонсалес, колко още битки и колко още победи мислите, преди да сте в тази снимка на заглавието и да се борите за титлата?

MVP: Това всъщност не е основната ми грижа. Просто излизам там и се забавлявам и ще продължа да го правя, докато не се окажа в позицията, в която би трябвало да съм.

Q: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?

Michael Chandler: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. Едно време, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage в събота night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, на живо и безплатно.

Q: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?

Фернандо Гонзалес: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. Така, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.

Q: With Michael (Страница) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?

Фернандо Гонзалес: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. Той е труден, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.

Q: Michael do you have a response to that?

MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.

Q: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?

Benson Henderson: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. За мен, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. Но, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.

Scott Coker on the groundbreaking Bellator event in Israel: “This event started about 18 months ago when we came over here to say hello to our international partners Annaney Communications and EGO TOTAL. We sat down with them and they said ‘Hey, there are a lot of great martial artists here. Why don’t we go meet with some of the gyms?’ So, we went to some of the gyms across Tel Aviv where they hosted a nice tryout. We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (Gracie) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 години, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap. Наистина съм, really excited to be here in Israel promoting our inaugural event, and we already have a date set for next year. We will be back, and we’d like to make this an annual stop for the company.

In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, Флорида, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate A.J. Маккий as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.

Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.
