I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city.

BELLATOR MMA FORECASTS ‘STORM’ AT MEMPHIS’ FEDEXFORUM ON OCT. 21, WHEN ALEXANDER SHLEMENKO RETURNS TO FACE KENDALL GROVE

BOBBY LASHLEY LOOKS TO SOLIDIFY HIMSELF AS TOP BELLATOR HEAVYWEIGHT AGAINST JOSH APPELT

 

Санта Моника, CALIF. (Август 29, 2016) – On Oct. 21, Bellator MMA will come to FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., when the Scott Coker-led promotion presents a card headlined by the return of former middleweight champion Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko (53-9), ки ба талаботи Карсиянг Гроув(23-15) дар амал middleweight.

Дар Илова, during the card’s co-main event, the always-exciting former WWE superstar Бобби Lashley (14-2) ба талаботи Josh Appelt (12-5) дар амал гаронвазн.

Tickets for the event go on sale September 2 Дар Bellator.com, Ticketmaster or FedExForum Box Office. Bellator Nation (www.bellator.com/bellatornation) will have special access to a pre-sale offering from Aug. 31-Ҳафт. 1. Main card action kicks off LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 9 Земле. ВА/8 Земле. CT and additional main card and undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

A former Bellator MMA Middleweight Champion, the “Storm” has kept busy, racking up a pair of wins already in 2016, and adding to his seemingly endless resume of victories since turning pro in 2004. A natural born finisher, Shlemenko’s success in MMA has also translated to coaching, as he’s played a pivotal role in the ascension of current Bellator MMA welterweight kingpin Андрей Koreshkov.

Also of note, due to Shlemenko’s recent suspension, Bellator officials have enlisted the services of The Mohegan Department of Athletic Regulation to administer drug tests before and after Shlemenko’s fight against Grove. The former middleweight champion is presently licensed with the Mohegan commission.

Fixated on getting another shot a Bellator’s middleweight title, Grove has strung together two emphatic stoppage wins since losing his bid to attain gold at"Bellator 137: Halsey против. Марцзор. " The winner of “The Ultimate Fighter: 3" on SPIKE, the Maui, Ҳавайӣ, native has also been competing professionally for longer than a decade, racking up victories and a plethora of finishes along the way. An experienced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and Muay Thai practitioner, Shlemenko will need to be on his A-game when the two square off in the card’s main event on Окт. 21.

Lashley is a must-see mixed martial artist, as well as professional wrestler, and will make his first appearance inside the Bellator cage in 2016 during the co-main event at FedExForum. “The Dominator” will be looking to run his current winning streak to eight fights, and five-straight finishes. With the heavyweight belt recently vacated, there’s an argument that can be made that the Aurora, Colo., native is the big man to beat in Bellator MMA’s heavyweight weight class.

Appelt was set to make his fifth appearance under the direction of Bellator MMA against Сергей Харитонов дар "Bellator 154: Дэвис против. Подшоҳи Mo," but after the 35-year-old Russian withdrew due to illness, Appelt was forced to wait. Ҳозир, “The Juggernaut” is once again set to return, and again, the 33-year-old California native will have his hands full. With ten stoppages in 12 ғалабаҳои, Appelt will look to use his striking ability to nullify the strong wrestling pedigree of Lashley.

Updated “Bellator MMA: Shlemenko новое. Grove” Main Card:

Middleweight Main Event: Александр Шлеменко (53-9) против. Карсиянг Гроув (23-15)

Heavyweight Co-Main Event: Бобби Lashley (14-2) против. Josh Appelt (12-5)

CODY WALKER STEPS UP ON SHORT NOTICE TO CHALLENGE UNDEFEATED A.J. MCKEE, WHILE GEORGI KARAKHANYAN-BUBBA JENKINS MOVED TO SPIKE-TELEVISED CARD

Санта Моника, CALIF (Август 16, 2016) – Just nine days before the highly anticipated "Bellator 160: Henderson против. Pitbull” чорабинӣ оид ба Август 26 at Honda Center in Anaheim, Calif., injuries sustained by main card fighters Хенри Corrales ва Lena Ovchynnikova have shaken things up a bit.

The fights join a main card that spotlights a super fight at 155-pounds between Бенсон Henderson (23-6) ва Patricio “Pitbull” (25-3), as the two will duke it out for a shot at Michael Chandler’s championship belt. Дар Илова, an explosive lightweight contest pitting Шумо Awad (19-7) бар зидди Дек Андерсон (13-2) will serve as the evening’s co-main event.

Tickets for the event start at $30 and can be purchased now on Ticketmaster and at Honda Center Box Office. Дарҳои кушод дар 4:45 Земле. PT local time and the first preliminary bout – which streams live on Bellator.com ва Дар Bellator Барномасозони Mobile — дар оғоз 5:00 Земле. PT.

After beginning his career 7-1 ҳамчун ҳаводор, the 21-year-old “Mercenary” has made a splash on the professional circuit, recording a perfect 4-0 mark through his first four bouts. McKee has fought under the Bellator MMA banner ever since he made his professional debut in 2015, finishing all of his contests in the opening frame, including three knockouts and a rear-naked choke submission. McKee’s most recent victory came at the expense of Italian Danilo Belluardo during the mixed martial arts portion of Bellator MMA’s first-ever event overseas, "Bellator 152: Freire vs. Souza.” The Long Beach, Calif. native will now take his flashy personality to the Honda Center, where he will have the chance to put his unique skill set on full display in front of his hometown fans.

Agreeing to take a professional mixed martial arts contest on short notice is no easy task, doing so against an undefeated fighter the caliber of McKee is even more daunting. But that’s exactly the scenario Walker finds himself in now ahead of next Friday’s ҳодиса. A two-time competitor for Bellator, “The Crow” will look to move above .500 within the promotion when he enters the cage at Honda Center. The 28-year-old Texan has ended all seven of his professional victories via TKO or KO, including four in the first round.

A longtime veteran of Bellator MMA, Karakhanyan will look to get back on track after dropping two closely contested decision losses against Jenkins, who he handily defeated nearly two years ago via guillotine submission. Known to many mixed martial arts fans as “Insane,” the 31-year-old has finished 18 аз худ 24 ғолиби ҳамчун касбӣ, earning himself multiple titles in regional promotions along the way. Following multiple setbacks to his knee, the Russian fighter is finally healthy and now looks to climb the 145-pound ladder in a competitive division that he once sat atop as the No. 1 contender.

Just a few years ago, Bubba Jenkins was widely regarded as the top MMA prospect in all of the sport, though the title became tainted following the aforementioned loss to Karakhanyan at “Bellator 132.” The former NCAA National Champion wrestler with Arizona State University now has three consecutive wins under his belt, and is looking for redemption. Heading into his 11th fight under the Scot Coker-led promotion, the 28-year-old “Highlight Kid” looks to put on a standout performance in Bellator’s incredibly deep featherweight division. Tune in Август 26 to see if the Corona, Calif., native can return the favor and finish Karakhanyan in front of his local supporters.
