The contest anchors an electric preliminary card and joins a Spike-televised main card that features a lightweight world title main event pitting current champion 邁克爾·錢德勒 (15-3) 針對 本森·亨德森 (24-6). 在當晚的合作主要事件, undefeated British phenom 邁克爾“毒液”頁面 (11-0) and California’s own 岡薩雷斯 (25-13) duke it out in a welterweight thriller and 亞當Piccolot (8-0) 發生在 布蘭登Girtz(14-4) in a lightweight clash. 最後, a light heavyweight showdown pitting Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) 針對 弗朗西斯Carmont (14-4) and female flyweight action pitting Keri Melendez (登場) 針對 Sheila Padilla (2-0) are also set for the main card.

After originally being slated to make his professional debut at both “Bellator 160” 和 “Bellator 162,“ “Baby Slice” will now look to showcase his fine-tuned mixed martial arts repertoire on 十一月. 19. The son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” made a splash in the world of MMA during an amateur contest in Chicopee, 馬薩諸塞州, where he delivered a brutal knockout punch just 1:23 進入第一輪. In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, 佛羅里達, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate A.J. 麥基 as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.

Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.
