Quotes: “I have dreamt about this moment forever. როდესაც მე ვიყავი 21 and first started kickboxing, I dreamt about being a champion and I didn’t make it, I lost.” Budd said. “ასე, this is my dream come true. The moment I signed with Bellator, I saw all the champions up there on the banners and I said to myself that i want to be up there with them some day. Now it feels like everything has come together.”
“Theres only one message that I want to give out to all the fighters out there and that’s please listen to your body. I’m very proud of all the women in MMA and I’m very grateful for Bellator,” Coenen said. “This company picked me up when I was in a dark place and Scott Coker has given me so many opportunities throughout my career. Bellator MMA will always be my home.”
Fernando Gonzalez (26-14) დაამარცხა Brandon Girtz (14-6) მეშვეობით ერთსულოვანი გადაწყვეტილება (29-28, 29-27, 30-26)
Quote: “Everything I thought was going to happen დღეს, მოხდა. Every time he was going to go for a take down, I wanted to make him pay for it.” Gonzalez განაცხადა. “I had to keep him busy and make him scramble. My plan was to box with him and then keep him away with the leg kicks. I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round. My next fight, მინდა ანდრეი Koreshkov. He is one of the best and Bellator’s former champion. I think I will win that fight, which will put me right in line with Douglas Lima next.”

Quote: “I’m so grateful for Bellator and Spike to be able to come out here, do what I love and perform. მაგრამ, ჩემთვის, it’s about so much more than the competition, it’s all about knocking some dude out, so that we can knock out the water crisis with my team out there in the Congo,” Wren said. “They are so incredible. I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.”
