The card aired tonight on SPIKE through a delayed broadcast following 'Bellator 153: Koreshkov ਬਨਾਮ. Henderson.”

Melvin Manhoef (37-13) was upset by Milan’s Alexandru Negrea (9-2) via decision in the evening’s main event.

Here is the answer to a future trivia question: Veronica Vernocchi (31-7-1) was the first fighter to ever step into a Bellator Kickboxing ring. Denise Kielholtz (44-2), ਪਰ, was all business from the very beginning.

Leave a comment

MICHAEL ‘VENOM’ PAGE, LINTON ‘THE SWARM’ VASSELL ALSO SET TO COMPETE

Santa Monica, Calif. (ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 18, 2016) – It was the most-watched fight in the history of mixed martial arts with 7.28 ਮਿਲੀਅਨ ਦਰਸ਼ਕ, ਅਤੇ ਇਤਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ night Bellator MMA President Scott Coker joined ESPN’s SportsCenter to officially announce that Kimbo ਟੁਕੜਾ (6-2) ਅਤੇ ਯਾਕੂਬ Thompson (20-16) are going to run it back inside the world famous O2 Arena in London on July 16 during the main event of 'Bellator 158: London.” The tentpole event also features another highly anticipated rematch in the co-main event — when a grudge match nearly six years in the making boils over as ਜੋਸ਼ Koscheck (17-10) 'ਤੇ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਹੈ ਪੌਲੁਸ ਨੇ "Semtex 'ਡਾਲੀ (38-13-2).

 

In the United Kingdom, the event will be broadcast free on SPIKE UK and Channel 5, while in America, the card will air free on SPIKE. Exact broadcast details for 'Bellator 158: London” will be revealed in the near future.

 

"ਲਈ ਟਿਕਟBellator 158: ਲੰਡਨ," go on sale this Friday, ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 22, with a Bellator Nation presale running thisਵੀਰਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ, ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 21. Tickets starting at £40.00 will be available at TheO2.co.uk or The O2 Box Office.

 

ਇਸਦੇ ਇਲਾਵਾ, a pair of English natives will also be in action on July 16, ਜਦੋਂ ਮਾਈਕਲ, "ਜ਼ਹਿਰ" Page (9-0) ਅਤੇ Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) face yet-to-be-announced opponents. London’s Page, also known as “MVP,” will be competing during the main card of 'Bellator 153: Koreshkov ਬਨਾਮ. Henderson " ਇਸ ਨੂੰ ਸ਼ੁੱਕਰਵਾਰ ਨੂੰ, live and free on Spike at 8 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. ਅਤੇ/7 ਦੁਪਿਹਰ. CT.

 

Fresh off his performance in the main event of 'Bellator 149: ਬਨਾਮ Shamrock. Gracie," the record-shattering card that generated 3.5 ਮਿਲੀਅਨ ਦਰਸ਼ਕ, Slice returns to action against the man he previously defeated back in 2008. It’s without question that Slice, a member of American Top Team in his home state of Florida, is one of the most must-see competitors in the sport of mixed martial arts, as it’s become increasingly clear fans can never truly expect what will happen when the brawler enters the Bellator cage.

 

“The Colossus” will likely have a sold-out O2 Arena strongly in his corner, being that he hails from Bristol, England and hasn’t fought on home turf since 2010. Thompson, 37, has been calling for a rematch with Slice since their infamous meeting nearly eight years ago and would like nothing more than to bounce back from a recent string of bad luck with a win against a name the likes of the former YouTube sensation. Thompson’s resume already features wins against Dan Severn, Don Frye and ਬੌਬੀ Lashley, ਹੋਰ ਵਿੱਚ.

 

In the card’s co-main event, Koscheck will make his promotional debut a little over a year after signing with Bellator MMA. Its pained the Fresno native to be out of action for so long, especially after being forced to withdraw from a headlining spot in his hometown against ਮੈਟ Secor 'ਤੇ “Bellator 148,” a card that “Semtex” went on to main event. It was there that the seeds for a rematch were cemented even further, as Daley trashed “Kos” in front of his partisan fans, pushing the 38-year-old to return.

 

While Daley may have the results as of late to upstage his foe, Koscheck owns a victory over the Brit in their first meeting, which Daley followed with an infamous punch after the bell that changed the trajectory of his career. ਹੁਣ, with nine wins in his last ten fights, Daley returns home to put an end to a moment in his profession that has cast a shadow over most of his success, while Koscheck looks to prove that their first meeting was no fluke.

 

These two momentous matchups are set to take place on ਜੁਲਾਈ 16 at the legendary 20,000-seat O2 Arena, as Kimbo Slice-James Thompson II and Josh Koscheck-Paul Daley II emanate from the United Kingdom, and there’s no other place to watch the action unfold than FREE on Spike.

PATRICKY ‘PITBULL’ FREIRE EARNS SHUTOUT VICTORY IN BELLATOR’S HISTORIC, FIRST-EVER INTERNATIONAL EVENT

Leave a comment

 

ALL OF ITALY GOES WILD FOR THEIR HERO ALESSIO SAKARA AFTER KNOCKOUT VICTORY

ਕ੍ਰੈਡਿਟ: Bellator MMA

TORINO, ਇਟਲੀ. (ਅਪ੍ਰੈਲ 15, 2016) – An electric, packed house was on hand Saturday night to bear witness to Bellator MMA’s inaugural international event, 'Bellator 152: Pitbull ਬਨਾਮ. Souza," at Italy’s largest indoor arena, The Pala Alpitour. The venue, which housed several events during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games, provided an incredible atmosphere for the historic card.

ਸ਼ਾਮ ਦੇ ਮੁੱਖ ਘਟਨਾ ਵਿੱਚ, Patricky 'Pitbull' Freire (16-7) welcomed Kevin Souza (15-5) to Bellator MMA with a unanimous decision loss (30-27, 30-27, 30-27). The matchup between the two Brazillians was well contested, as Souza took the fight on short notice after replacing ਡੇਰੇਕ ਖੇਤਰbecause of injury only a week ago. “Pitbull” spent much of the bout trying to figure out his opponent’s unorthodox style, but in the third and final round, “Pitbull” was able to score a couple solid shots and a takedown to cement his position on the scorecards.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?

Few fighters can inspire a nation the way that Rome’s Alessio Sakara (18-11) had his Italian countrymen rooting for him tonight. The support paid off, as “Legionarius” got the better of ਬ੍ਰਾਇਨ ਰੋਜਰ੍ਸ (12-9) in a slugfest for the ages. Crisp, precise, power-punches connected with Rogers putting him on the canvas, forcing the TKO stoppage at 2:29 of round two and making Sakai’s Bellator debut one to remember.

DIVISION ON LOCK? MCKEE’S GOT THE KEY

One of MMA’s hottest prospects, A.J. McKee (4-0) defeated Milan’s Danilo Belluardo (5-2) in front of his home crowd on Friday. Although the audience was raucous in support for Belluardo, they cheered with great appreciation for McKee’s performance and sportsmanship following his victory. During his fight against J.T. Donaldson at 'Bellator 147: Thomson vs. Villaseca," McKee was cut above the eye, the sight of his own blood seemed to cause the 20-year-old to hit the turbo button. Similarly tonight, McKee was on the wrong side of an accidental low blow and after a short resting period, “Mercenary” came out swinging with a torrid pace, ultimately connecting with a left kick to the ribs of Belluardo that sent him falling to the mat. The referee gave him a moment to defend himself but McKee rained down an efficient flurry of ground and pound, earning the TKO at 2:44 of the very first frame. Sending a message to Scott Coker and the ਬਹੁਤ ਹੀ deep Bellator featherweight division that he means business, McKee said in his post-fight interview: “If you ain’t got the belt, I ain’t got my eye on you.”

A STAR IS BORN IN ANASTASIA YANKOVA

Anastasia Yankova (3-0) quickly fought her way into a full mount against Anjela Pink (0-1) and applied a slick armbar submission to hand Pink a loss in her professional debut at 1:35 ਪਹਿਲੇ ਦੌਰ ਦੇ. The young Russian striker has had the Italian fans clamoring to see her in action all week long, and had them on their feet celebrating her first-round victory. Yankova has now finished all of her professional MMA fights via submission and after the bout made it clear that she will be in action sooner, ਨਾ ਕਿ ਬਾਅਦ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੱਧ, “I promise to come back soon and have my second fight in Bellator, Yankova said. “It is really great to be a part of Bellator, I feel really happy.”

HOMETOWN HEROES IMPRESS IN BELLATOR DEBUT

Two Italian competitors who regularly compete with Oktagon, Daniele Scatizzi (7-2) ਅਤੇ Daniele Miceli (2-1) kicked things off at 'Bellator 152: Pitbull ਬਨਾਮ. Souza” with a fast paced featherweight scrap. Scatizzi was able to secure a dominant position on Miceli’s back, sinking his hooks in and raining down unanswered strikes, forcing referee “Big John” McCarthy to call a stop to the action at 3:20 of round one and declaring Rome’s Scatizzi victorious by TKO.
