АНГЕЛИ - To honor the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, Bellator MMA has partnered with the USO to present a special live event free for the troops, along with their friends and families, грудня 14.

“Having worked with the Army Combatives Program to evaluate and update their combat readiness, I have long respected the military and their courage,” said Royce Gracie, MMA Legend and Bellator Ambassador. “When I found out we were doing an event in Hawaii, knowing the large military population there, I knew we had to show our support and appreciation through MMA.”

Bellator President Scott Coker is proud of this new relationship with USO and is eager to show his support to the brave service men and women.

“The USO is a historic military support organization – not just in entertainment but in connecting them back to the things they love and fight for,"Сказав Кокер. “It made perfect sense for Bellator to establish a relationship with the USO and provide a unique opportunity to Hawaii’s military population. We appreciate their service to the nation, and we hope this is just the first of many opportunities for us to work together.”

Emanating from the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, this unique show will be headlined by a title fight featuring current lightweight champ Brett Primus (8-0) against two-time former titlist Майкл Чандлер (18-4), while heavyweight icon Френк Світ (18-12) відповідає Javy Айяла (10-7) у зіткненні у важкій вазі.

Reigning champ Brent Primus puts both his title and undefeated streak on the line in a highly anticipated rematch for the Bellator lightweight title. After upsetting Chandler last year, the Eugene, Ore.-native has since battled injuries that have delayed his return to the cage. Зараз, he looks to silence the critics and prove that he is the rightful and deserving 155-pound champion. One of the most-decorated fighters in Bellator history, Michael Chandler has plans to reclaim the championship and become a three-time titleholder. “Iron” has defeated a who’s who among the division’s elite, у тому числі Бенсон

Хендерсон, Patricky Pitbull (x2), Ямаучи до and Eddie Alvarez. The former University of Missouri wrestler, who now calls Nashville home, has earned his way back to No. 1-contender status with his sights set on leaving Hawaii with the belt.

Former UFC heavyweight champ Frank Mir returns to the Bellator cage following his exciting back-and-forth battle with Федір Ємельяненко last spring. With career wins over Рой Нельсон, Antonio “Big Nog” Nogueira (x2), Brock Lesnar and Mirko Cro Cop, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt looks for another impressive victory to add to his illustrious career. After shocking the world when he KO’d Сергій Харитонов, Javy Ayala become an overnight sensation to MMA fans.

MEET MMA LEGENDS TITO ORTIZ AND ROYCE GRACIE ON П'ятниця, Червень 23 AT DAVE & BUSTER’S TIMES SQUARE

Лос-Анджелес – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Сільва, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends Тіто Ортіз і Ройс Грейсі during an exclusive Fan Fest on П'ятниця, Червень 23 починаючи з 8 p.m. І at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, Тіто Ортіз 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.

Назва Грейсі є синонімом MMA, and that is in large part to Ройс Грейсі, Людина, яка, як вважається, винайшов спорту, як ми його знаємо сьогодні. 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. Сьогодні, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. У лютому 2016, Gracie headlined Bellator 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, Соннен (29-15-1) іВандерлей Сілва (35-12-1, 1 Північна Кароліна), Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Сільва airs live on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. І/7 p.m. PT.
