SANTA MONICA, CALIF (十二月 12, 2016) – After an incredible year that saw Bellator MMA host events in international territories all around the globe, it is only fitting that the promotion’s year-ending event, “Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii,” 發生這種 星期五, 十二月 16 at the 3Arena in Dublin, 愛爾蘭.
Shortly after her fight against Helen Harper (4-1) was announced, Bruna Vargas (2-1) has withdrawn from the bout due to injury. Harper will be paid her show money and a new women’s featherweight bout has been added to the SPIKE-televised card between undefeated fighters 西尼德·卡瓦納 (3-0) 和 Elina Kallionidou (5-0).
The Spike-televised main card will be highlighted by a heavyweight main event pitting “King Mo” (19-5, 1 NC) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist 石井敏 (14-6-1). 此外, a pair of anticipated featherweight scraps will see 安東尼·泰勒 (1-1) look to quiet the crowd as he enters enemy territory to challenge Northern Ireland’s 詹姆斯·加拉格爾 (4-0) 和, 愛爾蘭 BELLATOR 加入了幾場偉大的戰鬥(9-4) take on the always-game 丹尼爾Weichel (37-9).

Fighting out of Straight Blast Gym (SBG) 在都柏林, “KO” Kavanagh has fought all three of her professional bouts with BAMMA, and has earned her nickname bye scoring two knockouts in her first three fights. Kavanagh fought in BAMMA’s first-ever women’s fight, and ended her opponent’s night in just 17 秒. Originally slated to compete in a bantamweight fight against Eeva Siiskonen (5-4-2) on the BAMMA portion of this co-promoted night of fights, Kavanagh now moves up in weight to face Kallionidou under the Bellator banner.
僅在 18 歲, Kallionidou has already made a name for herself in her home country Greece, where she holds the Cage Survivor women’s featherweight title. Incredibly, “Gunner” started her professional career off with a bang, scoring a first-round TKO just a month after her 16日 生日. 自那以後, the Greek fighter has gone 5-0, 三擊倒. The fight this Friday night, will be her first fight outside of Greece.
In addition to a full card of Bellator action, ticketholders will also have the unique opportunity to experience an additional fight card from Europe’s leading mixed martial arts promotion, BAMMA. The bantamweight belt will be on the line at “BAMMA 27,” as Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) 和 Alan Philpott (16-8) prepare to duke it out for the division gold. 最後, the stacked event features a featherweight world title fight pitting former Bellator competitors Ronnie Mann (25-8-1) 針對 馬丁·斯特普爾頓 (18-4).
