రాయిస్ గ్రేసి

పేరు గ్రేసి MMA పర్యాయపదంగా ఉంది, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, a man who is considered to have invented the sport as we know it today. The winner of the first several UFC events, గ్రేసి ఒకే రాత్రిలో బహుళ ప్రత్యర్థులు ఉపసంహరించే ఉంటుంది, వీరిలో అనేక అతని కంటే పెద్దవిగా ఉండేవి. For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight. నేడు, it’s hard to find an MMA fighter who hasn’t trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. In February of 2016, Gracie headlined “Bellator 149,” an event that shattered company viewership records that remain intact to this day.

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

With an incredible resume highlighted by wins over four members of the legendary Gracie family, including Royler, Renzo, ర్యాన్, and Royce Gracie, Sakuraba has inherited the nickname “The Gracie Hunter.” The Japanese mixed martial artist is especially remembered for his first clash with Royce, a ninety-minute marathon that ended in a TKO (corner stoppage) victory for Sakuraba nearly 17 సంవత్సరాల క్రితం. Gracie would later avenge his loss, earning a unanimous decision win over Sakuraba at “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. ఇప్పుడు, almost a decade later, the two legends meet again and Bellator MMA is giving you the chance to be there when it happens!

 

మాట్ Mitrione

Matt Mitrione originally took his talents to the football gridiron, signing as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2002. After brief stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione entered the MMA cage and hasn’t looked back since. The 14-time UFC veteran began his professional career with victories in his first five fights, four of which came by way of knockout. Known as one of the top finishers in the sport, the 37-year-old Indianapolis native recently finished his run with his former employer, making the decision to test free agency. Mitrione will now look to duplicate the success that he found throughout his career, అతను కలుస్తుంది ఫెడర్ ఎమేలియనేంకో in San Jose this February.

 

Wanderlei సిల్వా
