Exactly like the groundbreaking inaugural “Dynamite” event this past September in San Jose, both a mixed martial arts cage and kickboxing ring will cover the floor at Scottrade Center, giving fans in attendance the opportunity to see both iterations of combat sports on the same night.

Matt Mitrione va portar originalment el seu talent a la graella del futbol, signant com a agent lliure no redactat amb els New York Giants a 2002. Després de breus estades amb els San Francisco 49ers i Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione va entrar a la gàbia MMA i des de llavors no ha mirat enrere. El veterà UFC de catorze vegades va començar la seva carrera professional amb victòries en els seus primers cinc combats, quatre de les quals van arribar per eliminatòria. Conegut com un dels primers classificats en aquest esport, el natiu d’Indianapolis, de 37 anys, va acabar recentment la seva carrera amb el seu antic empresari, prenent la decisió de provar una agència gratuïta. Mitrione ara intentarà duplicar l'èxit que va trobar al llarg de la seva carrera, when he makes his much-anticipated Bellator MMA debut against Seumanutafa on Juny 24.

A només 26 anys d'edat, Carl “Badwater” Seumanutafa will face the stiffest test of his career when he takes take center stage at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis. Similar to Mitrione, all but one of his wins has come by way of knockout, including five first-round finishes. Looking to continue building momentum in the heavyweight division, the former Strikeforce competitor was victorious in his Bellator debut, when he finished Javy Ayala with a vicious second round TKO at “Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich ". A native of San Francisco, Seumanutafa has been competing professionally since 2007, making his pro debut at only 18-years-old.
