PAIR OF INJURIES FORCE CHANGES TO MAIN CARD OF ‘BELLATOR 160: HENDERSON VS. PITBULL’

CODY WALKER STEPS UP ON SHORT NOTICE TO CHALLENGE UNDEFEATED A.J. MCKEE, WHILE GEORGI KARAKHANYAN-BUBBA JENKINS MOVED TO SPIKE-TELEVISED CARD

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ, קאַליף (ויגוסט 16, 2016) – Just nine days before the highly anticipated "בעללאַטאָר 160: הענדערסאָן ווס. Pitbull” געשעעניש אויף ויגוסט 26 at Honda Center in Anaheim, קאַליף., injuries sustained by main card fighters הענרי קאָרראַלעס און Lena Ovchynnikova have shaken things up a bit. ונדעפעאַטעד פעאַטהערוועיגהט אַ.דזש. מאַקי (4-0) וועט איצט פּנים Cody Walker (7-2), ווייַלע באַבאַ דזשענקינס (11-2) און געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן (24-6-1) find themselves in a featherweight feature fight during the SPIKE-televised main card.

The fights join a main card that spotlights a super fight at 155-pounds between בענסאָן הענדערסאָן (23-6) און Patricio “Pitbull” (25-3), as the two will duke it out for a shot at Michael Chandler’s championship belt. דערצו, an explosive lightweight contest pitting איר אַוואַד (19-7) קעגן דערעק אַנדערסאָן (13-2) will serve as the evening’s co-main event.

In preliminary action, וועלטערוועיגהץ Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. און Joey Davis will make their professional debuts, ווייַלע Chinzo Machida (3-2) will compete for the first time under the Bellator MMA banner.

Tickets for the event start at $30 and can be purchased now on Ticketmaster and at Honda Center Box Office. דאָאָרס עפענען בייַ 4:45 פּ.ם. פּט local time and the first preliminary bout – which streams live on Bellator.com און די בעללאַטאָר מאָביל אַפּ — הייבט בייַ 5:00 פּ.ם. פּט.

After beginning his career 7-1 ווי אַ ליבהאָבער, the 21-year-old “Mercenary” has made a splash on the professional circuit, recording a perfect 4-0 mark through his first four bouts. McKee has fought under the Bellator MMA banner ever since he made his professional debut in 2015, finishing all of his contests in the opening frame, including three knockouts and a rear-naked choke submission. McKee’s most recent victory came at the expense of Italian Danilo Belluardo during the mixed martial arts portion of Bellator MMA’s first-ever event overseas, "בעללאַטאָר 152: Freire vs. Souza.” The Long Beach, קאַליף. native will now take his flashy personality to the Honda Center, where he will have the chance to put his unique skill set on full display in front of his hometown fans.

Agreeing to take a professional mixed martial arts contest on short notice is no easy task, doing so against an undefeated fighter the caliber of McKee is even more daunting. But that’s exactly the scenario Walker finds himself in now ahead of next Friday’s געשעעניש. A two-time competitor for Bellator, “The Crow” will look to move above .500 within the promotion when he enters the cage at Honda Center. The 28-year-old Texan has ended all seven of his professional victories via TKO or KO, including four in the first round.

A longtime veteran of Bellator MMA, Karakhanyan will look to get back on track after dropping two closely contested decision losses against Jenkins, who he handily defeated nearly two years ago via guillotine submission. Known to many mixed martial arts fans as “Insane,” the 31-year-old has finished 18 פון זיין 24 ווינס ווי אַ פאַכמאַן, earning himself multiple titles in regional promotions along the way. Following multiple setbacks to his knee, the Russian fighter is finally healthy and now looks to climb the 145-pound ladder in a competitive division that he once sat atop as the No. 1 קאַנטענדער.

Just a few years ago, Bubba Jenkins was widely regarded as the top MMA prospect in all of the sport, though the title became tainted following the aforementioned loss to Karakhanyan at “Bellator 132.” The former NCAA National Champion wrestler with Arizona State University now has three consecutive wins under his belt, and is looking for redemption. Heading into his 11th fight under the Scot Coker-led promotion, the 28-year-old “Highlight Kid” looks to put on a standout performance in Bellator’s incredibly deep featherweight division. Tune in ויגוסט 26 to see if the Corona, קאַליף., native can return the favor and finish Karakhanyan in front of his local supporters.

This number would far exceed the two men’s leaders Roman Gonzalez און לעאָ סאַנטאַ קרוז.

I have seen her fight and train and she is a top competitor and a true athlete in this sport. Some people think it’s taking a chance to put women’s boxing on television, but I think Heather Hardy is the best person to take that chance on. I don’t know anyone that is more worthy of this shot.
Heather Hardy is always in fan friendly and entertaining fights,” said former world champion פּאַוליע מאַליגנאַגגי. “Off the top of my head, I cannot think of a dull Heather Hardy fight. מער, she brings a big following and that always makes for a fun, noisy crowd and atmosphere.
A fan-favorite in Brooklyn, Hardy has been helping to fill local venues for years including Barclays Center, where she has fought seven times as a pro. איצט, her long awaited matchup with the unbeaten New Englander Vincent has given her the opportunity to show her talents on a bigger stage.
I couldn’t be happier for my fellow Brooklynite Heather Hardy,” said middleweight world champion דניאל דזשאַקאָבס. “This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase her talents on TV, and one that she has rightfully earned. This is huge, not only for her, bur for women’s boxing in general.

וואַרריאָר, along with his trainer and father Ruben Guerrero, have put together another successful camp in the Bay Area as Robert looks to earn another opportunity at the top fighters in the sport. Here is what Guerrero had to say about his matchup, training camp and more:
On fighting in a special weekend edition of MMA and Boxing on Spike
It’s going to be a great weekend of fights on Spike. אויף פרייטאג, you got top level MMA fighters like Benson Henderson throwing down. He’s always giving the fans their money’s worth. אויף שבת, you got Alfredo Angulo and myself, who always bring excitement to the ring. We’re never in boring fights. אַלע אין אַלע, there’s going to be a lot of action packed fights that weekend. Everyone should be tuning in that’s for sure.
On his recent training camp
There’s been a lot of hard work that’s been put into this recent training camp. My dad and I have been grinding daily to get ready for this fight. It’s been a productive camp though. I got a lot of rounds sparring with top guys. I’m in tip top shape and ready to go.
On facing tough Argentine David Emanuel Peralta
Anytime you’re facing a fighter from Argentina you know you’re in for a tough fight. Peralta knows this is his chance to make a name for himself so I know he’s coming with his very best. He’s had a lot of time to prepare for this fight but I’ll be well prepared for anything he brings. He’s going to realize once he’s in the ring with me that I’m not some washed up fighter like some may think. I got plenty of fight left in me and Peralta will find out what I’m all about on August 27טה.”
On the importance of coming out victorious
It’s very important that I win this fight at all cost. The welterweight division has plenty of good fighters that I want to get in the ring with. So it’s a must that I win this fight. I’m not taking Peralta lightly. I’m coming to win and win impressively.
On fighting in Anaheim at the Honda Center
Anytime you’re fighting in Southern California, you know the fans are going to be passionate about the fights. They love to see a lot of action and that’s exactly what they’ll see when I step in the ring. The Honda Center is a top level venue where the fans will all have a great seat. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of the SoCal fans once again.

Alfredo אַנגולאָ
I’ve been training hard since the beginning of the year. I’m ready to get back in the ring and put on a show for the fans.
I love entertaining the fans. I want to keep going out there and fighting for the fans. I want to be in big fights that fans remember.
I know that this will be a very entertaining fight. My opponent and I both have a lot of pride. We fight like true Mexican warriors and will leave it all in the ring. I don’t expect this to go the decision but I am ready to battle for every round.
Fans don’t question fights between two Mexican fighters. Everyone loves those kinds of matchups, like Morales-Barrera. Those fights are must watch. The Mexican style is to go head-to-head and toe-to-toe.
Fighting a guy like this is always dangerous. I don’t like to beat up my countrymen but this is a business and I want to have the crowd chant my name, just like he does.
I feel better when I have rest in between fights. איך פילן שטארקער. The rest has helped my body and I’m going to be stronger and sharper when I get back in the ring.
I’m very comfortable with my style and my team. I’ve known Romulo Quirarte for many many years and we’ve worked very well together.
I got married and we have a child on the way so I have a lot of emotions that I put into this training camp. It’s hard for me to explain in words, but I hope that I can show everyone when I get into the ring on ויגוסט 27.”
טעררעלל גאַושאַ
Each fight I feel like I’ve been growing. I’ve been learning and taking something from every experience in the ring. I’m a student of the game. I’m always training and I feel like I’m getting sharper and better.
I know my opponent is an aggressive fighter. He’ll come forward and he comes to win. I know him from the amateurs where he has a great background like myself. I’m looking to pick him apart and prove myself.
It’s hard for me to describe my style, but I make adjustments to opponents. I fight differently depending on my opponent. I’m a thinking fighter. He’s an aggressive fighter and I think it will bring the best out of me. I’m going to exploit his weaknesses and use his aggression against him.
I just have to be myself. Angulo and Robert Guerrero have a lot of heart, just like I do. My style is my own. I’m smart and I’m sharp. I like to hit and not get hit.
I’ve been watching the Olympics games and catching as much boxing as I can. We already have a medal guaranteed. I love watching all of the Olympics sports.

Jacobs and Mora met in an August 2015 firefight that saw both men hit the canvas in round one.

The action was halted in round two after Jacobs knocked Mora down again, rendering him unable to continue after fracturing his ankle on his way to the mat.
This is business for me, but it is also more personal than any fight I have ever had,” האט דזשאַקאָבס. “Sergio has been using these antics online to get this rematch and he has gotten under my skin. There has been a lot of back and forth as far as people’s opinions as to who would have won the fight had he not gotten hurt. I am looking at this as an opportunity to clarify that I am the real champion. I want to shut his trap in primetime.
I don’t think Jacobs wanted this rematch, but it was destined to happen and now he has to deal with it,” האט Mora. “I thought the first fight was going my way. I knocked him down in the first round and was out boxing him in the second round. He knows that I have enough power to hurt him. He has more to worry about going into this fight than in the first fight. Look at my resume, I have fought solid opposition. Jacobs doesn’t have that type of resume.

These two welterweight matchups join a card that features a stellar 155-pound main event between בענסאָן הענדערסאָן (23-6) און Patricio “Pitbull” (25-3). אַדדיטיאָנאַללי, two standout featherweight fights have also been announced, seeing the young and undefeated אַ.דזש. מאַקי (4-0) meet former KOTC titlist הענרי קאָרראַלעס (12-3) and NCAA National Champion Wrestler באַבאַ דזשענקינס (11-2) אָננעמען Georgi “Insane” Karakhanyan (24-6-1).

 

Signed to a developmental deal in April, “Baby Slice” makes his pro debut on the event’s Bellator.com-streamed preliminary card.

Tomasian is currently training with Manny Rocha at Strive Jiu Jitsu Academy in Lodi Calif., where he has earned a purple belt in the art.

With a strong base in wrestling and jiu-jitsu, Cutrone held a regional title at 185-pounds before permanently moving to welterweight as a professional.
