BELLATOR NATION INVITED TO EXCLUSIVE FAN FEST DURING BELLATOR NYC FIGHT WEEK

 

MEET MMA LEGENDS TITO ORTIZ AND ROYCE GRACIE ON פרייטיק, יוני 23 AT DAVE & BUSTER’S TIMES SQUARE

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, בעללאַטאָר ניק: Sonnen vs. סילוואַ, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends טיטאָ אָרטיז און רויס גרייסי during an exclusive Fan Fest on פרייַטיק, יוני 23 אָנהייב בייַ 8 פּ.ם. און at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

 

דייוו & בוסטער ס, a season-long partner of Bellator MMA, is offering Bellator Nation members the chance to meet two of the biggest names in the sport. Fan Fest is free for Bellator Nation Members with RSVP, who can sign up at www.Bellator.com/fan-fest.

 

Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, טיטאָ אָרטיז is a fan-favorite across the world. Utilizing his wrestling background, Ortiz was a punishing competitor who defended his title an impressive five times. Always with a flair for the dramatic, Ortiz engaged in several intense rivalries over his career with the likes of Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell. Under the direction of Bellator MMA, the 42-year-old Ortiz claimed a trio of victories that included a pair of first-round finishes over Alexander Shlemenko and Chael Sonnen.

 

די נאָמען גרייסי איז סאַנאַנאַמאַס מיט ממאַ, and that is in large part to רויס גרייסי, די מענטשן וואס איז געהאלטן צו האָבן ינווענטאַד די ספּאָרט ווי מיר וויסן עס הייַנט. The winner of the first several UFC events, Gracie dismantled multiple opponents in a single night, many of which were much larger than him. For many years, there was no answer for the Gracie jiu-jitsu technique that he brought to the cage. הייַנט, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. In February of 2016, Gracie headlined בעללאַטאָר 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.

 

Headlined by the long-awaited bout between two of the biggest names in mixed martial arts history, טשאַעל סאָננען (29-15-1) אוןוואַנדערלעי סילוואַ (35-12-1, 1 נק), בעללאַטאָר ניק: Sonnen vs. סילוואַ airs live on pay-per-view beginning at 10 פּ.ם. און/7 פּ.ם. פּט.

Prior to the pay-per-view, SPIKE will air בעללאַטאָר 180: דייוויס ווס. Bader LIVE and FREE on both coasts beginning at 8 פּ.ם. און/5 פּ.ם. פּט. The event is headlined by a light heavyweight title bout between current champ פיל דייוויס (17-3, 1 נק) און שפּיץ קאַנטענדער רייאַן באַדער (22-5). אַדדיטיאָנאַללי, בעללאַטאָר 180 prelims will air exclusively on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App at 6 פּ.ם. און/3 פּ.ם. פּט.

DREAM MATCHES, BELLATOR VETERANS & TITLE FIGHTS TOP NEF 29 קאַמף קאָרט

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (יוני 1, 2017) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on יוני 17 with a fight card featuring both mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, די העכערונג מודיע די פול קאַמף קאָרט פֿאַר די געשעעניש. The fight card is subject to approval of the Combat Sports Authority of Maine (CSAM). The boxing portion of the card will begin at 7 pm EDT with the MMA card to immediately follow.

 

In a highly-anticipatedSuperfight,” Maine MMA star ברוס “שיין יינגל” בויינגטאָן (14-9 ממאַ, 1-0 באָקסינג) will take on Maine’s premier boxer רוססעלל “The Haitian SensationLamour, דזשוניער. (15-2, 7 קאָס) in a six-round boxing bout. The fight will be a dream match for fans who never expected to see each sportstop in-state athletes face one another. Boyington and Lamour have both been featured in nationally-televised bouts on NBC and ESPN in recent years. Lamour is the former New England Middleweight Champion, while Boyington held the NEF MMA Lightweight Title until relinquishing it last year to sign with the World Series of Fighting (ווסאָף) global promotion.

 

Bruce and Russell are at the top of their respective games,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Russell is a great boxer, and he’s going to face a superb striker in the form of Taekwondo black belt Bruce Boyington. This is a true dream match for Maine fight fans.

 

The professional MMA portion of the fight card will feature the long-awaited return of former NEF MMA Featherweight Champion שטראַל “כל ביזנעס” האָלץ (8-3) as he faces Brazilian prospect אַלעקסאַנדרע “באַט” Bezerra (19-5). Wood left Maine more than two years ago to re-settle in South Carolina and then Texas. Both Wood and Bezerra are veterans of the Bellator cage with a dozen fights between them for the national promotion.

 

When you consider both sides, this is probably the highest-level fight to ever take place in NEF,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “This fight could easily be slid into any UFC card on FS1 or Fox and steal the show. Either one of these athletes could get the call up after this fight. Our fans are about to see something special.

 

The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a title fight with Rafael “Deez NutsVelado (4-0) defending the amateur lightweight championship against Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Famer פּאַט קעלי(3-0). At age 52, Kelly will be the oldest fighter to ever challenge for an NEF title.

 

In addition to the fights, legendary boxer יעקב “Buster” דאָוגלאַס (38-6-1, 25 קאָס) will make an appearance atNEF 29as the guest of honor. Douglas will hold an hour-long meet-and-greet with fans at the Colisee from 6 pm צו 7 pm prior to the opening bell. Longtime fans will remember Douglas as the architect of the greatest upset in professional sports history with his knockout of “ייַזן” מייק טיסאָן (50-6, 44 קאָס) אין 1990 to claim the world heavyweight title. Douglas halted the 37-fight undefeated streak that opened Tyson’s pro career.

I’ve been a fan of his for years and we are anxious to see him return to Spike inside the Bellator cage.”

 

“I wanted to work with Scott Coker because I have heard nothing but great things – plus I get to work with Spike and Viacom again who catapulted MMA in America,” added Nelson. “I am excited to join Bellator and to show how an All-American like myself will make new and old fans fall in love with MMA again and again!"
