Awad hopes to build off his impressive win over Brazilian standoutEvangelista “Cyborg” у "Беллатор 154: Дејвис вс. Кинг Мо," where “Assassin” was able to escape Santos’ ferocious ankle lock submission attempt and emerge victorious with a series of pummeling blows. Now the 33-year-old San Bernardino, Калиф. native will look to put his unique skillset on full display in front of his friends and family when he enters the cage in Anaheim, Калиф.

Joey Davis is a 21-year-old standout wrestler, who competed at Notre Dame College where he accumulated an incredible undefeated 131-0 record and four consecutive NCAA Division II Championships, becoming the only Division II wrestler to ever win four national titles and go unbeaten in a career. The most recent signing of Bellator’s “New Breed,” a group of top wrestling products that the promotion has signed including Арон Пицо, И Рут, Jarod Trice и Terrell Fortune, will be the first to make his promotional debut.

Signed to a developmental deal in April, Ferguson Jr., also known as “Baby Slice” will anchor the Bellator.com-streamed preliminary card along with Davis, his aforementioned “Body Shop Gym” teammate.
