SAAD AWAD-DEREK ANDERSON SET FOR ‘BELLATOR 160’ MAIN CARD ACTION AT HONDA CENTER IN ANAHEIM
COMPTON’S JOEY DAVIS AND ‘BABY SLICE’ KEVIN FERGUSON JR. TO ANCHOR BELLATOR.COM-STREAMED PRELIMINARY CARD
SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Juli, 26) - Een lichtgewicht bout pitting Je Awad (19-7) tegen Derek Anderson (13-2) has been added to the main card of the recently announced "Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull” evenement op Augustus 26 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif.
Bovendien, the highly-anticipated professional debuts of wrestling sensation Joey Davis en "Baby Slice" Kevin Ferguson Jr. are set for must-see preliminary action against opponents to be named later.
"Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull” vindt plaats op Augustus 26 from Anaheim California’s Honda Center, and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 10 p.m. EN/9 p.m. CT.
Tickets voor het evenement beginnen bij slechts $30 and can be purchased now on Ticketmaster and at the Honda Center Box Office. Deuren voor het evenement geopend 4:45 p.m. PT local time and the first preliminary bout – which streams live on Bellator.com en De Bellator Mobile App — begint 5:00 p.m. PT. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.
The lightweight encounter joins a card that already features another stellar 155-pound affair in the main event, wanneer Benson Henderson (23-6) omhoog gaat tegen Patrick "Pitbull" (25-3). Daarnaast, two standout featherweight fights have also been announced, seeing the young and undefeated A.J. McKee (4-0) meet former KOTC titlist Henry Corrales (12-3) and NCAA National Champion Wrestler Bubba Jenkins (11-2) op zich nemen Georgi "Insane" Karakhanyan (24-6-1).
An 11-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Awad is currently in the midst of his second stint with the Scott Coker-led promotion, posting a 7-4 mark since making his promotional debut in 2009. Awad hopes to build off his impressive win over Brazilian standoutEvangelista “Cyborg” bij "Bellator 154: Davis vs. Koning Mo," where “Assassin” was able to escape Santos’ ferocious ankle lock submission attempt and emerge victorious with a series of pummeling blows. Now the 33-year-old San Bernardino, Calif. native will look to put his unique skillset on full display in front of his friends and family when he enters the cage in Anaheim, Calif.
Similar to his opponent, Anderson was able to make a name for himself early in his professional career, exploding out of the gate with victories in 11 van zijn eerste 12 uiteinden. During his Bellator MMA debut in 2013, “Barbaric” earned a win over the savvy veteranPatricky “Pitbull.” Since then, the 26-year-old Anderson has made five more appearances under the promotion’s direction, including a second victory over the elder “Pitbull” brother. Also hailing from the Southern California area, Anderson expects to have a large hometown following of his own in attendance on Augustus 26.
Joey Davis is a 21-year-old standout wrestler, who competed at Notre Dame College where he accumulated an incredible undefeated 131-0 record and four consecutive NCAA Division II Championships, becoming the only Division II wrestler to ever win four national titles and go unbeaten in a career. The most recent signing of Bellator’s “New Breed,” a group of top wrestling products that the promotion has signed including Aaron Pico, En Ruth, Jarod Trice en Terrell Fortune, will be the first to make his promotional debut. Davis trains at Antonio McKee’s “Body Shop Gym” alongside other “Bellator 160” competitors A.J. McKee, Bubba Jenkins and “Baby Slice.”
Signed to a developmental deal in April, Ferguson Jr., also known as “Baby Slice” will anchor the Bellator.com-streamed preliminary card along with Davis, his aforementioned “Body Shop Gym” teammate. In an eerily similar storyline to the hit-movie “Creed,” the son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” quietly broke onto the scene earlier this year in an amateur bout that played out in Western Massachusetts, where he scored a knockout victory just 83 seconden in de eerste ronde. MMA reporter Chuck Mindenhall was on-site to cover the story.

MULVANE, KS. (Juli 22, 2016) – In the main event of the evening, Darrion Caldwell (9-1) was submitted by Joe Taimanglo (23-6-1) in an absolutely shocking upset :09 seconds into the third and final frame.
With the defeat, de 2009 NCAA Div. 1 National Champion was handed the first loss of his career, terwijl “Juggernaut” has the entire Island of Guam rocking with his guillotine submission win. “De Wolf” was cruising heading into the third and final frame, but after shooting for a takedown, Taimanglo slapped on a choke and didn’t relinquish the hold until Caldwell tapped. The fight was slated to be a title eliminator, but because of Taimanglo failing to make weight, it remains to be seen who will challenge next for Eduardo Dantas’ titel.
Guillard Assassinates ‘Caveman’ in Front of Hometown Faithful
Melvin Guillard (33-16-2) put Dave Rickels (17-5) to sleep in front of his hometown fans during the co-main event of "Bellator 159: Caldwell vs. Taimanglo.” Na 90 seconds of closely contested action, “The Young Assassin” caught “The Caveman,” then followed with a series of vicious elbows that ended the action at 2:14 van de eerste ronde.
Na het gevecht, Guillard made it clear that he is done as a lightweight and will carry on his Bellator MMA career at 170-pounds, and hopes to fight renowned welterweight Paul "Semtex" Daley.
Ducote Taps Vargas in Flyweight Bout
Emily Ducote (3-1) handed Bruna Vargas (2-1) the first loss of her short career, landing an overhand right that she quickly followed up with a rear-naked choke, forcing the referee to call a halt to the action at :29 van de tweede ronde. Na het gevecht, Ducote dedicated the fight to her grandmother, who has helped her a great deal throughout her upbringing and supported her decision to pursue a career in mixed martial arts. Look for Ducote to make waves in the flyweight division in the future.
