Statement from the Harris Family:

 

The Harris Family would like to inform Dada’s friends and fans that Dada is ok and resting comfortably in a Houston area Hospital under the care of an incredible staff of doctors and nurses.

The doctors have now informed us that Dada had accumulated extremely high levels of potassium in his blood which led to severe dehydration, fatigue and renal failure. The high potassium levels were likely caused by his 40lbs weight loss in preparation for the fight.

Thanks to the EMTs and doctors, Dada is now recovering nicely.

Dada showed the heart of a lion in the cage- not backing down throughout. He worked extremely hard preparing for the fight and stepped forward for 3 rounds against a tough veteran. He kept digging through the adversity- leaving it all in the cage for his fans and supporters. You can never take that away from him.

We’d like to thank all those who have supported Dada as well as express our sincere appreciation to Scott Coker, and the good people at BELLATOR and Spike who have been on-site to visit Dada and support the family.

We ask for the public and media to respect Dada’s privacy as he recovers.

ХОУСТОН, Текас (Фебруар, 19) – Bellator MMA is pleased to announce its next tentpole event, "Беллатор 154: Дејвис вс. Кинг Мо,” which will emanate from the SAP Center in San Jose, Цалиф., маја 14 and air LIVE on SPIKE.

 

A light heavyweight bout to determine the No. 1 contender for Liam McGeary’s (11-0) title will anchor the card, када Мохаммед "Кинг Мо" Лауал(19-4, 1 НЦ) меетс Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (15-3, 1 НЦ) in a contest that was supposed to decide the victor of the 205-pound tournament at"Беллатор ММА: Динамите 1. "

 

But that’s not all –

 

The evening’s co-main event will feature a fight that mixed martial arts fans and media members have yearned for since Џош Томсон (22-8, 1 НЦ) chose to sign with Bellator MMA last year. “The Real Punk” will meet longtime lightweight standout "Гвоздени" Мајкл Чендлер (14-3) who’s fresh off a new longterm contract extension with the Scott Coker-led promotion.

 

Tickets for this MMA supershow start at $30 и иде на продају Петак, Фебруар 26 у 10 а.м. у Беллатор.цом, as well as SAP Center Box Office and Ticketmaster. Bellator Nation Presale offer will begin Wednesday February 24.

 

To reach this point, both Lawal and Davis had to dispatch of multiple opponents over the course of one night to win two separate tournaments. Lawal most recently was victorious in a light heavyweight tournament for Rizin FF in Japan, beating Brett McDermott, Теодор Високи, and Jiri Prochazka, running his current winning streak to seven-fights.

 

For Davis, his Bellator MMA debut came in September, when he ran through both Емануел Њутон и Френсис Цармонт enroute to winning the tourney at "Беллатор ММА: Динамите 1. " The 31-year-old Alliance MMA product was slated to face “King Mo” in the final of the bracket, but Lawal suffered a broken rib that forced the fight to be delayed.

 

Chandler and Thomson have seemingly been on a collision course since Thomson entered the Bellator MMA fray, mainly due to a barrage of questions to both men that revolved around the other and when/if they would eventually meet inside the cage.

 

After racking up two wins – both in San Jose – against Мајк Бронзоулис и Пабло Вилласеца, Thomson, a member of American Kickboxing Academy, has his sights set on a matchup with the 14-fight Bellator veteran.

 

A native of Missouri, “Iron Mike” has been riding a wave of momentum following emphatic victories against Дерек Поља и Дејв рицкелс. The 29-year-old former lightweight kingpin has made it clear that he intends on fighting everyone on the Bellator MMA roster, which he hopes culminates in another run with championship gold wrapped around his waist.

 

"Беллатор 154: Дејвис вс. King Mo” takes place on May 14, and airs live on SPIKE at 9 п.м. И/8 п.м. ЦТ — Не пропустите.

Click for fight highlights: Michael Chandler vs. Еди Алварез

САНТА МОНИКА, Калиф. (Фебруар 12, 2015) – When sifting through a list of Bellator MMA’s greatest fights, few names appear as often as "Гвоздени" Мајкл Чендлер (14-3).

 

Данас, Bellator MMA is proud to announce that Chandler will be continuing to compete for the promotion for the foreseeable future, with the news that the former 155-pound champion has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight extension to remain with the Scott Coker-led promotion.

 

“Michael Chandler is synonymous with our brand and doubles as an incredibly talented and exciting mixed martial artist,” said Bellator President Скот Цокер. “Not every fighter or free agent aligns with our future plans, but when looking at Chandler’s resume, inking him to a long-term extension was a no-brainer. I look forward to getting him back in action as soon as possible.”

 

Chandler was also pleased with his extension, наводећи: “I’m ecstatic to continue my career with Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. It’s obvious that good things are continuing to happen for this promotion and it’s correlating to big opportunities for myself as well,", Рекао је Чендлер. “I can’t wait to get back in action and test myself against some of these new guys coming in and move back up through the ranks. Као и увек, my eyes are on that belt, and it will be back around my waist soon.”

 

A 14-fight Bellator MMA veteran, Chandler has been a member of the Viacom-owned promotion since 2010. Prior to joining the Bellator ranks, the Missouri native competed for Strikeforce. Amongst his notable victories, Chandler bested Eddie Alvarez via submission at “Bellator 58” in what many fans and pundits alike considered the fight of 2011.

 

Further along the way, Chandler defeated the likes of Патрицки "Питбулл" Фреире, Марцин Хелд, Rick Hawn, и Дејвид рицкелс (2к). Of his 14 осваја као професионалац, Chandler has amassed 12 victories before reaching the judges’ scorecards.
