LOS ANGELES - Following his exciting back-and-forth championship bout at Bellator 209 eerder deze maand, Emmanuel Sanchez (17-4) quickly returns to featherweight action on Friday, Maart 22 at WinStar World Casino and Resort against one of Bellator’s newest European signings, Ashleigh Grimshaw (20-10-1, 3 NC).

 

 

 

Het evenement wordt live en gratis uitgezonden op Paramount Network op 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, evenals DAZN.com, terwijl de voorbereidende actie zal streamen Bellator.com en wereldwijd op de Bellator mobiele app. Tickets zijn nu in de verkoop en kunnen worden gekocht bij de kassa van WinStar World Casino and Resort, evenals via Ticketmaster en Bellator.com. Extra gevechten worden in de komende weken aangekondigd.

 

 

 

De 28-jarige, nicknamed “El Matador,” will serve as Bellator’s headliner for the second consecutive time in his 13th fight with the promotion. A homegrown fighter from the famed Roufusport MMA Academy in Milwaukee has defeated a who’s who of 145-pounders including former champions Daniel Straus and Marcos Galvao, as well as standouts Sam Sicilia, Justin Lawrence and Georgi Karakhanyan. Nu, Sanchez looks to immediately put himself back into contender status with a tough test on March 22.

 

 

 

Based out of London, Ashleigh “The White Wolf” Grimshaw has competed professionally since 2003, amassing more than 30 professional bouts across the European MMA scene. Unbeaten in his last four contests, Grimshaw has finished his opponent 18 times in his 20 overwinningen. Nu, set for his promotional debut with Bellator, the 36-year-old will be looking to make noise in a division currently championed by Patricio "Pitbull" Freire.
