Sanchez also enters this contest having won five of his first six bouts under the Bellator MMA banner. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and training at the world-renown Roufusport camp, “El Matador” has recently put together an impressive run, claiming wins in nine of his last 10 αγώνες. The 25-year-old most recently defeated Daniel Pineda via split decision at the record-shattering "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie "event in Houston. Sanchez will enter the cage riding a three-fight winning streak, all of which subsequently ended in split decision victories.

 

Στο μόνο 30 ετών, Viana has impressed only nine fights into his professional career. Πιο πρόσφατα, Viana put his unique skillset on full display against Houston Alexander at "Bellator 146: Κάτω vs. Manhoef," emerging victorious after a second-round knockout. The Brazilian light heavyweight now has seven career finishes to his name, including three in the first round, and will look to add to that total when he enters the cage with fellow Brazilian competitor Philipe Lins on Ιούλιος 22.

 

Χαιρετίζοντας από τον Νατάλ, Lins has consistently impressed through his first 10 επαγγελματικές περιόδους, recording nine wins, with four victories coming by way of knockout. After winning his first four professional fights, Lins decided to take an extended break from MMA from 2007 μέχρι 2011. After the hiatus, Lins rallied off five wins, including his first two bouts under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Τώρα, “Monstro” will look to return to the cage for the first time since a brutal knee injury that he suffered against Kelly Anundson at “Bellator 122” πίσω στο 2014.

 

Undefeated to start her professional career, Μπράουν Έλεν, 20, competed twice in 2015, winning both of her bouts. A member of Team Nogueira Campinas in Sao Paulo, Ellen recently did a stint of training at the world-renown Blackzilians gym in Florida, where she continued to hone her budding striking and skills on the mat. It’s also worth noting that Ellen’s listed on this year’s “Top-Ten Brazilian Prospects” compiled by MMAFighting.com.
