Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC, a run that saw him defeat current middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (dos veces), Rashad Evans, Rua "Shogun", Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, doing broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz en Bellator 170 en enero.

"The Axe Murderer" ha peleado en algunas de las peleas y batallas más memorables que haya visto el deporte.. Sus guerras con“Rampage” Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell and Michael Bisping remain some of the more memorable bouts in MMA history. Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career, returning to action against a man that he has despised for quite some time. In addition to the PRIDE middleweight title, Silva’s trophy case includes awards for “Fight of the Year” (2003, 2004, 2007), KO del Año (2008) and multiple “Fight of the Night” awards, including one for each of his last three fights. He now looks to continue entertaining fans inside the Bellator cage and begins with a bout several years in the making.

Un ex campeón de PRIDE, “El último emperador” es uno de los peleadores de peso pesado más venerados y respetados del deporte se ha visto. Piedra de cara y la tranquilidad, Emelianenko se jactó una de las rachas invictas más impresionantes en la historia de las MMA, no perder una pelea entre 2001 y 2009. Un campeón del mundo multi-tiempo en MMA y Sambo, Fedor acaba de regresar al deporte después de una breve pausa, accumulating two decisive wins since his return to action.

Matt Mitrione remains poised to make an impact in the Bellator heavyweight division following two emphatic wins since signing with Bellator in 2016. The Illinois native and standout defensive end at Purdue University earned All-Big Ten honors in 2000 and subsequently earned his way into the NFL where he played six seasons as a member of the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. Mitrione ultimately found his way into MMA where he became a high-level competitor, defeating the likes of the late Kimbo Slice, Derrick Lewis and Gabriel Gonzaga.

Hailing from Atlanta, Georgia. “The Phenom” has been ruling the roost at 170-pounds in Bellator for the better part of three years. Un ganador de 16 de su pasado 18 concursos, the American Top Team product remains set on doing away with all viable contenders at welterweight and his first step since reclaiming the strap from Andrey Koreshkov comes against one of Bellator’s newest signees, Lorenz Larkin.

Set to enter the Bellator fray is a “Monsoon” of violent proportions – unanimously ranked on lists compiling the top-ten welterweights on the planet, Larkin is set to continue his career in Bellator, after inking an exclusive, multi-fight contract last week. Un finalizador conocida, the pride of Riverside, California. will make his promotional debut a winner of four out of five.

Chandler will look to defend his belt for the first time since successfully defending it in a “Fight of the Year” candidate against Benson Henderson en noviembre pasado. A 16-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Chandler has consistently proven that he belongs among the world’s elite, riding into his bout on Junio 24 on a streak of four straight victories.

Also a native of Oregon, the surging Primus remains unbeaten after five consecutive wins to begin his Bellator MMA career. A tan sólo 31, Primus has been committed to honing his craft since he was 13, going as far as to sell his landscaping business to keep his hopes of someday becoming a champion alive. En Junio 24, he finally has the opportunity to make his dreams come to fruition.

Royce Gracie

El nombre Gracie es sinónimo de MMA, y eso es en gran parte de Royce Gracie, un hombre que se considera que inventó el deporte tal como lo conocemos hoy. El ganador de los primeros eventos de UFC, Gracie iba a desmantelar varios oponentes en una sola noche, muchos de los cuales eran mucho más grandes que él. Durante muchos años no hubo respuesta para la técnica de Gracie Jiu-Jitsu que trajo a una pelea.. Hoy, Es difícil encontrar un luchador de MMA que no se haya entrenado en el arte del jiu-jitsu brasileño que inventó su padre.. En febrero de 2016, Gracie tituló "Bellator 149", un evento que rompió los récords de audiencia de la empresa que permanecen intactos hasta el día de hoy..

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Con un currículum increíble resaltado por victorias sobre cuatro miembros de la legendaria familia Gracie, incluido Royler, Renzo, Ryan, y Royce Gracie, Sakuraba ha heredado el apodo de "The Gracie Hunter". El artista marcial mixto japonés es especialmente recordado por su primer enfrentamiento con Royce., un maratón de noventa minutos que terminó en un nocaut técnico (paro de esquina) victoria de Sakuraba casi 17 hace años que. Gracie luego vengaría su pérdida, obteniendo una victoria por decisión unánime sobre Sakuraba en "K-1 Dynamite USA!!" dentro del Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Ahora, casi una década después, las dos leyendas se vuelven a encontrar y Bellator MMA te da la oportunidad de estar allí cuando suceda!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione originalmente llevó su talento al campo de fútbol., firma como agente libre no reclutado con los New York Giants en 2002. Después de breves períodos con los San Francisco 49ers y los Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione entró en la jaula de MMA y no ha mirado atrás desde. El veterano de UFC 14 veces comenzó su carrera profesional con victorias en sus primeras cinco peleas., cuatro de los cuales vinieron por nocaut.
