If you ask both Carvalho and Manhoef, the two’s first meeting didn’t go as planned for either party. 의 메인 이벤트 “Bellator 155” saw both men go toe-to-toe for 25 minutes before the three judges rendered a split decision in favor of the incumbent champion; a verdict that many deemed controversial. 지금, 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: 할시 대. 카르발류 " 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.
