Kartu Bellator Kickboxing juga menampilkan pertandingan ulang kelas terbang wanita yang diantisipasi antara pemain andalan Belanda Denise Kielholtz (45-3) dan wanita yang mengalahkannya Juni lalu, Gloria Peritore (11-1-1) untuk Kejuaraan Dunia Kelas Terbang Bellator Kickboxing perdana. Selain itu, superstar Bellator lainnya Raymond Daniels, Kevin Ross dan Joe Schilling juga kemungkinan akan bersaing di kartu melawan lawan untuk disebutkan nanti.
Jika Anda bertanya pada Carvalho dan Manhoef, pertemuan pertama keduanya tidak berjalan sesuai rencana untuk salah satu pihak. Acara utama “Bellator 155” melihat kedua pria itu saling berhadapan 25 minutes before the three judges rendered a split decision in favor of the incumbent champion; a verdict that many deemed controversial. Saat Ini, nearly seven months after their first meeting, the pair of competitors will meet again.
Carvalho’s second-round body kick knockout of Brandon Halsey at “Bellator 144: Halsey vs. Carvalho " was the third biggest oddsmaker upset in 2015, and was the bout that earned the gold he wears around his waist today. The 30-year-old will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and will look to extend his current winning streak to 14-bouts.
With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has earned the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor finds himself once again in a position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, and has even further incentive to leave the judges’ out of it.
Adoringly referred to by his fans as “The Doctor,“Petrosyan adalah orang yang tidak ingin Anda temui. The top-ranked Armenian-Italian striking ace will be making his debut with the budding Bellator Kickboxing Promotion when he squares off against Watson on 10 Desember. Training alongside his brother Armen, the 30-year-old southpaw put together an incredible 42-fight unbeaten streak, mengembangkan kotak piala yang luas yang mencakup beberapa sabuk kejuaraan serta penghargaan "Kickboxer of the Year" di keduanya 2011 (BloodyElbow.com) dan 2012 (LiverKick.com).
When you compete in the lightweight division in the world of kickboxing, aside from striving to earn the title, you’re also looking towards a fight with the No. 1 kickboxer in the world in Petrosyan. An ISKA World Champion and K-1 UK runner up, Watson will get that chance when he meets “The Doctor” di “Bellator Kickboxing: Florence.” It will be interesting to see what game plan the British striker implores when he meets his opponent — but if his nickname of ‘Quadzilla’ is any indication, the 28-year-old will utilize his kicks to keep the vicious striking of Petrosyan at bay. Training extensively around the world, Watson has also spent a good amount of time in the Muay Thai scene, accruing a knack for finishes (21) sepanjang jalan. Victorious in his lone 2016 pertarungan, Watson hopes to soar into 2017 with a win against arguably the greatest kick boxer in the world under his belt.
