Bader—despite his participation in the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix—remains the BELLATOR Heavyweight Champion, a title he plans on unifying with the interim-champValentin Moldavksyfollowing the conclusion of the 205-pound tournament. Bader’s storied career has earned him the moniker of a legend slayer, with wins over all-time greats likeFedor Emelianenko, Антонио Роджерио Ногуейра, Рашад Евънс, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.
Corey Anderson has made an excellent impression since his arrival in BELLATOR, reeling off two dominant victories over the likes of veteranMelvin Manhoefand former ACA ChampionDovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, both ending via TKO. The Rockton, Болен. product came to the promotion boasting an already impressive resumé, previously triumphing over Johnny Walker, Glover Teixeira and Jan Błachowicz amongst others.

Lima and Page first met inside the BELLATOR Cage in May 2019 приBELLATOR 221in the semifinals of BELLATOR’s Welterweight World Grand Prix. After an even first round, Lima sent Page to the canvas with a sweeping leg kick, which he then followed up with a spectacular punch and ground and pound strikes to finish the fight.

Провеждане на впечатляващ MMA запис на 30-11-2, 1 NC, Do Not. 3-ranked Cheick Kongo returns to action for the first time since headlining the first-ever major MMA event in his native France last October. The former kickboxer remains a force to be reckoned with and holds records for the most fights (16) и печели (12) in BELLATOR heavyweight history. With high-profile victories overВиталий Minakov, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, and Matt Mitrione, the Parisian is keen to pad his current promotional records, set new ones, and earn his shot at BELLATOR gold.
The man nicknamed “The Paratrooper,”Харитонов е собственик на също толкова забележителна ММА автобиография, with the Russian scoring vicious wins against some of the sport’s marquee names, such as Fabricio Werdum, Андрей Арловски, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Мат Mitrione, and Alistair Overeem. Сега, fresh off two championship victories on the regional circuit, Kharitonov returns to the BELLATOR cage with the intention of climbing the heavyweight rankings and asserting himself as a BELLATOR title contender.
28-year-old Hungarian Adam “The Kid” Borics has won 17 на 18 fights to begin his professional career, bouncing back from his only loss with three straight victories. Training out of South Florida’s Sanford MMA gym, Borics has firmly established himself as a true threat to anyone in the 145-pound division, where he is currently ranked third.
Undefeated in his first eight fights as a professional, New Zealand’s Wilson has won in style, accumulating six finishes in those eight wins. Following a split decision win against Tywan Claxton, Wilson scored a violent knockout of Sergio DeBari, then followed that victory up with an equally vicious spinning backfist stoppage over SBG’s Pedro Carvalho in April. The Kiwi fighter will be looking to secure a high-stakes victory over Borics with a world title shot awaiting the winner.

C-Джулиана Веласкес (12-0) победен #3-Дениз Килхолц (6-3) чрез съдийско решение (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)
Джулиана Веласкес: “I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”
“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”
“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”
#5–Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) победен #7-Мат Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) чрез представяне (стачки) при 1:45 на първи кръг Tyrell Fortune: “I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.
“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Както казах, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.
“I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. За мен, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his a– out just like he did me.”
Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) победен Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) чрез TKO (стачки) при 1:33 на втори кръг
Matheus Mattos: “He’s a wrestler. Така, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. За щастие, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.”
"Чувствам се страхотно, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. Надяваме, everything went well.
“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Така, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, и сега ме познават. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.
“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”
#2–Арлийн Blencowe (14-8) победен Dayana Silva (9-6) чрез TKO (щанци) при 1:00 на три кръгли
Арлийн Blencowe: "Чувствам се страхотно. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Така, this win is for you.”
“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.”
#5-Джони Еблен (9-0) победен Travis Davis (10-5) чрез единодушно решение (30-27, 30-26, 30-26) Джони Еблен: “My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. Така, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.”
“He was talking s— казвайки, "Хей, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”
Предварителен Card: Said Sowma(7-2) победен Ronny Маркес (19-9) направо KO (щанци) при 1:09 на първи кръг Коди Лоу (4-0) победен Theodore Macuka(1-1) чрез TKO (щанци) при 1:54 на първи кръг Diana Avsaragova (4-0) победен Gabriella Gulfin (2-3) чрез съдийско решение (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Адил Бенджилани (6-3, 1 NC) победен Джони Сото (4-2) чрез единодушно решение (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) Charlie Campbell (4-1) победен Nicholas Giulietti(2-2) чрез TKO (щанци) при 1:30 на втори кръг
