LOS ANGELES - Following his exciting back-and-forth championship bout at Bellator 209 no início deste mês, Emmanuel Sanchez (17-4) quickly returns to featherweight action on Friday, Março 22 at WinStar World Casino and Resort against one of Bellator’s newest European signings, Ashleigh Grimshaw (20-10-1, 3 NC).

 

 

 

O evento será transmitido ao vivo e gratuitamente pela Paramount Network em 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, bem como DAZN.com, enquanto a ação preliminar será transmitida Bellator.com e globalmente no Bellator Mobile App. Ingressos já estão à venda e podem ser adquiridos na bilheteria do WinStar World Casino and Resort, bem como através da Ticketmaster e Bellator.com. Lutas adicionais serão anunciadas nas próximas semanas.

 

 

 

A 28-year-old, 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 e Marcos Galvão, as well as standouts Sam Sicilia, Justin Lawrence and Georgi Karakhanyan. Agora, 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 vitórias. Agora, 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.
