The headliner for בעללאַטאָר 196 will see former world champion בענסאָן הענדערסאָן (24-8) in a lightweight matchup against Roger Huerta (24-9-1, 1 נק), who returns to Bellator for the first time since 2010. On the kickboxing side of things, Raymond Daniels (33-3) defends his welterweight crown against Djibril Ehouo (38-9-2) in the headliner of Bellator Kickboxing 9.

UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS JAMES GALLAGHER & ADAM BORICS HEADLINE BELLATOR 196 IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY ON APRIL 6

BOK HALL TO HOST BELLATOR MMA AND KICKBOXING EVENTS

 

 

 

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Bellator will hold its third event in Budapest, אונגארן אויף פרייַטיק, אַפּריל 6, bringing along a battle of young guns looking to remain undefeated early in their mixed martial arts careers. The pride of Strabane, נאָרדערן ירעלאַנד, James Gallagher (7-0) meets Budapest’s Adam Borics (10-0) in an exciting בעללאַטאָר 196 featherweight main event matchup.

 

 

A women’s flyweight bout will serve as the co-main event of the card, when the Bellator women’s 125-pound kickboxing champion Denise Kielholtz (1-1) נעמט אויף Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 נק). דערצו, די אפריל 6 card at BOK Hall will also feature world-class kickboxing action, as Bellator Kickboxing returns for another great night of fights. A main event for the kickboxing portion of the card will be announced in the coming days.

 

 

בעללאַטאָר 196: Gallagher vs. Borics will be broadcast פרייַטיק, אַפּריל 6 free on Paramount Network (אַמאָל ספּייק) בייַ 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, בשעת פּרילימאַנערי אַקציע וועט טייַך אויף Bellator.com און גלאָובאַלי אויף די בעללאַטאָר מאָביל אַפּ. Bellator Kickboxing 9 will air immediately following at 11 פּ.ם. און/10 פּ.ם. קאָרט. נאָך באַוץ וועט זיין מודיע אין קומענדיק וואָכן.

 

 

 

Tickets for the event go on sale פרייַטיק, פעברואר. 9 און זענען בנימצא אין www.Bellator.hu.

 

 

 

 

There are few mixed martial artists that invoke the type of polarizing reaction “The Strabanimal” does when entering the Bellator cage. A longtime training partner of Conor McGregor under the tutelage of world-renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, the 21-year-old has been on a tear since signing with Bellator in 2016, racking up four wins in four contests. With each victory, Gallagher has showcased a growing skillset, culminating in a first-round submission of Chinzo Machida at בעללאַטאָר 180 last June. Now fully recovered from injury, Gallagher has a tough test ahead in the undefeated Hungarian.

 

 

 

Adam Borics made his Bellator debut at בעללאַטאָר 177, finishing Anthony Taylor via submission in the opening frame. Known as “The Kid,” Borics has competed exclusively throughout his four-year career in Europe, and this time will be no different. Having won over plenty of fans over on the heels of his promotional debut in April of last year, Borics will definitely have the home field advantage on April 6.

 

 

 

 

Bellator women’s kickboxing flyweight champ Denise Kielholtz is riding high following her first MMA victory over Jessica Middleton earlier this year at בעללאַטאָר 188, while Lena Ovchynnikova will enter the Bellator cage on אַפּריל 6 looking to duplicate the success she had the last time she competed in Hungary, a TKO victory over Helen Harper. When the pair of flyweights compete at בעללאַטאָר 196, look for both to keep the fight on their feet, making for an exciting standup battle.

 

 

 

דערהייַנטיקט בעללאַטאָר 196: Gallagher vs. Borics Fight Card:

 

 

Featherweight Main Event: James Gallagher (7-0) ווס. Adam Borics (10-0)

 

 

Women’s Flyweight Co-Main Event: Denise Kielholtz (1-1) ווס. Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 נק)

אויך, BELLATOR SET FOR HISTORIC ROME DEBUT יולי 7, 2018

FLORENCE, איטאליע – A sold out crowd was on hand for Bellator’s return to the Nelson Mandela Forum in Florence, Italy to cheer on their national hero, אַלעססיאָ סאַקאַראַ, in his bid for the middleweight title at בעללאַטאָר 190. אָבער, reigning champion Rafael Carvalho emerged victorious in his third defense of the belt with yet another exciting performance. מיט די נצחון, Carvalho is now tied with Alexander Shlemenko for most title defenses in promotional history.

 

אַדדיטיאָנאַללי, Bellator has announced plans for a summer return to Italy in the country’s capital city of Rome on יולי 7 with an event that will air on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network. The date marks the company’s first trip to Rome, after hosting multiple events in both Torino and Florence.

 

“After the success of our events in Torino and Florence, Italy over the last two years, we knew that it was time to do a show in Rome, a city rooted deep in combat sports history,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “The Italian fans have shown their passion for the sport and we look forward to bringing a huge card to Rome next year on יולי 7."

 

Additional details about the card, including matchups, ticket and broadcast details will be announced shortly.

With my preparation, I was able to get a good result quickly and I’m happy about that. I hurt my hand a little bit in the final sequence, maybe I punched the mat, but I hope to get back in the cage as soon as possible to continue defending my belt.”

Quote: “I was just going out there to throw bombs and put him away quickly and that’s exactly what happened. That’s what I usually do. טראַינינג לאַגער איז געווען גרויס, I was able to actually prepare for my opponent and it worked out well. I’ve had a great experience out here in Italy, it has been a journey and I treated it like an adventure. It was my first time fighting out of the country so everything was an adjustment and I came out nine days in advance to get acclimated. I want another tough opponent. Luka [Jelcic] was a tough guy, he was no slouch whatsoever. I want another top guy, that’s why I’m here – to fight the top guys and that’s what I’ve been doing since I got here to Bellator.”

 

Alejandra Lara (7-1) דיפיטיד Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 נק) via rear-naked choke at 4:09 פון קייַלעכיק איינער

Quote: “I was very excited for my Bellator debut and to be the first Colombian female in the promotion. I’ve been training incredibly hard, I felt that I was very well prepared for this fight. I just wanted to show the world how tough I am and I think I did that הייַנט בייַ נאַכט. I spent half of my camp in Guadalajara with Alexa Grasso and Team Grasso there, and then I also went up to work with Roufusport Academy in Milwaukee to prepare for the fight. Both camps were amazing for me, and I learned a great deal, I just want to keep learning and competing. I am prepared for whatever is next. I look forward to big challenges in Bellator.”

Quote: “Speed is definitely my advantage every time I get in the ring, and it was no different הייַנט בייַ נאַכט. ערשטער און פאָרעמאָסט, I’d like to give all the glory to God, because through him, all things are possible. I’d like to thank my opponent for taking this fight. It’s an honor to come here and fight in front of the Italian people. This is an incredible country with beautiful people, beautiful food, beautiful wine, great history. This is a fighting country. I think I might have some Italian in my DNA because every time I come here my blood boils and I feel like I’m ready to spar, איך בין גרייט צו קעמפן. To anyone who wants it: come on, take a number and stand in line. You have seen my highlight reel, if you want to be part of it – איך צוזאָג איר, I can make you famous.”

 

דזשאָו שילינג (23-9) דיפיטיד Filip Verlinden (44-19-1) דורך יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Quote: “I’ve got to watch the replay again. I thought Filip did a really good job and I was really excited to be fighting somebody of his caliber. Going into the fight, I thought he was the toughest guy Bellator has given me. When we were both with my last promotion, we were both top three the entire time I was there. I knew he was going to be a tough opponent, that’s why there was no trash talk from either one of us, I think we were both ready for a great fight and we delivered. I honestly was pretty frustrated with my performance and after the fight I told Jimmy (סמיט) that I thought he had won. Now I’m back here in the locker room and everyone is telling me that I’m crazy for that take. I’d love to fight him again and finish him off. Maybe for a world championship. That’d be nice. But for now, I’m excited to go enjoy my vacation.”

Quote: “I’m very excited coming off of this performance. I thought my opponent was a bit awkward. I wanted to give him respect because I knew he had heavy hands. But once I felt that I could win, I started walking forward more and I threw a couple spinning back kicks just for fun, just to entertain. I had the one spinning heel kick that landed and thought that was pretty cool. I was pretty excited about that. I was just happy to get the stoppage really, because nobody wants to win by points. I’m inching closer to 100 victories and I’d love to hit that milestone here in such a major promotion like Bellator. Especially at my age of 41, being able to fight on the big stage is so surreal. I can’t believe that I’m still here competing in this sport that I love, and more than just competing, I’m being successful. I’ve got to thank Scott Coker, everyone at Bellator and Spike, and everyone that follows the sport for giving me the opportunity to do what I do. I’m really scared to be 41 and know that one day I’m going to have to retire, אָבער רעכט איצט, I’m having too much fun to stop.”
