Beskrivelse genereret automatisk med lav tillid
LONDON, UK – I dag, BELLATOR MMA har tilføjet flere eksplosive kampe BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP, finder sted på OVO Arena Wembley – tidligere kendt som The SSE Arena, Wembley – i London på fredag, Maj 13.

Med en elektrisk atmosfære forventes i London, fans vil blive behandlet med en læskende veltervægts-co-feature som tidligere mester og nr. 2-rangeret Douglas Lima (32-10) tager på nr. 3-rangeret Jason Jackson (15-4). Britisk fanfavorit Luke træner (5-0) vil se efter at få mest muligt ud af sin hjemmepublikumsfordel, når han møder Simon Biyong (7-2) i en let sværvægtskamp fyldt med knockout-potentiale.

Kampagnens spændende tilbagevenden til OVO Arena Wembley for BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP, ser hjemmefavorit nr. 1-rangeret Michael "Venom" Page (20-1) ser ud til at stjæle verdensmesterskabet i weltervægt fra den ubesejrede mester, Yaroslav Amosov. Den ukrainske, der er 26-0, vil sigte mod at forkæle festen i MVP’s egen baghave, og nægter londoneren en del af MMA-historien i processen.

Også bekræftet tidligere for, hvad der allerede tegner sig til at være et utroligt kort, er en fluevægtskamp for kvinder mellem nr.. 3-rangeret Denise Kielholtz (6-3) og nr. 4-rangeret Kana Watanabe (10-1-1) og en fjervægtskamp mellem nr. 8-rangeret Daniel Weichel (41-13) og Robert Whiteford (16-4).

BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP bliver sendt live i Storbritannien kl 9 p.m. GMT/4 kl. OG på BBC Three og BBC iPlayer, efter sidste uges annoncering af den store britiske udsendelsesaftale med BBC. SHOWTIME vil tv-sende kampen live i Amerika.

Billetter til arrangementet er til salg nu og kan købes online fra axs.com/dk og Bellator.com.

Douglas Lima er også indstillet på endnu et besøg i den engelske hovedstad, efter hans overskriftskamp mod MVP sidste år, med en tilbagevenden til vinderformen i tankerne på kendt territorium. Han tager imod Jason Jackson i, hvad der skal blive endnu et spændende sammenstød. Lima er en af ​​de mest erfarne kæmpere på Bellator-listen og vil håbe på at tilføje til hans 32 karriere sejre. Står i vejen for ham er den formidable udfordring fra "The Ass Kicking Machine", som optræder tro mod sit kaldenavn med fem sejre i træk. Jacksons seneste sejr var en overbevisende enstemmig beslutnings-triumf Paul Daley på Bellator 260 og han vil håbe på at fortsætte sin stærke professionelle rekord.

Efter en ødelæggende knockout-sejr over Yanick held og lykke i sin hidtil største test hos Bellator 267 i London sidste år, Luke Trainer vil forsøge at udvide sin ubesejrede professionelle rekord til seks kampe, når "The Gent" tager imod Simon Biyong. Med begge kæmpere i besiddelse af ægte knockout-kraft, Camerouneren vil håbe på at komme på toppen i de slående meningsudvekslinger og bringe en partisanskare til tavshed. Træner vender tilbage til hjemmebane for at fortsætte sin rejse som en af ​​Bellators hurtigst stigende stjerner efter en eksplosiv præstation sidste time-out.

Ud over de førnævnte kampe, Londoner Alfie "Øksemanden" Davis (14-4) er også indstillet på at få et hjem, når han tager på landsmand Tim "The Experiment" Wilde (14-4) i en let indledende kamp. Parret skulle mødes 2020 men vil støde sammen foran deres trofaste hjem i et hjemligt sammenstød, der helt sikkert vil fange opmærksomheden hos engelske kampfans. "The Axe Man" vil søge efter den form, der fik ham til at gå fire kampe ubesejret forud for et enstemmigt beslutningstab sidste gang på Bellator 259. Wilde vil dog ikke være i imødekommende humør, da han sigter mod at samle tre sejre i træk for første gang i sin Bellator-karriere.

Der er et andet engelsk talent på udstilling i kvindernes fluevægtsdivision som tidligere titeludfordrer Kate Jackson (11-5-1) tager imod græsk atlet Elina "Gunner" Kallionidou (8-4). Jackson vil blive bakket op hele vejen af ​​tilskuerne i London, men står over for en modstander, der vandt ved sin sidste optræden på Wembley med en sejr i første runde på Bellator. 267.

“It was easy to focus on his gameplan because it is the exact same thing I do. We both are strong wrestlers and have heavy ground and pound. I guess we are going to have see who does it better on Friday.”

“My resurgence in my career comes from me not doubting myself. I lost a few in a row and it was an easy excuse to quit and doubt myself, but I didn’t, and I was able to rip off three in a row and put myself in a position to win a title.”

Valentin Moldavsky BELLATOR Heavyweight

“It is an honor to train with Fedor and represent his team.”

After Friday I will be on a three-fight win streak and in a great spot for a shot at the title, and I credit my toughness and resilience for that.”

Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Lightweight

LOS ANGELES The Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix resumes Thursday, November. 12 with two quarterfinal matchups set to take place, as champ Patricio “Pitbull” (30-14) defends his title against Pedro Carvalho (11-3), mens Daniel Weichel (40-11) og Emmanuel Sanchez (19-4) square off in a battle of former title contenders.

I de vigtigste tilfælde af Bellator 252 den nov. 12, fans will see a featherweight world title bout with two-division Bellator champion Patricio “Pitbull” defending his 145-pound crown against SBG Ireland’s Carvalho. In addition to the five-round championship headliner, a second Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal will go down, as two former title challengers in Weichel and Sanchez meet again following a razor-thin split decision-victory for Weichel in 2016. The winners of these two bouts can expect to see each other in the next semifinal matchup.

Den Bellator 253 headliner on Nov. 19 sees former bantamweight world champion Caldwell go toe-to-toe with rising prospect McKee on the other side of the bracket in the first semifinal. The winner earns a guaranteed spot in the finals and a shot at the Bellator world title and a chance to take home one million dollars.

All three Featherweight World Grand Prix bouts were initially slated to take place at the postponed Bellator 241 og Bellator 244 events prior to the COVID-19 pandemic effectively putting the yearlong tournament on hiatus.

CBS Sports Network vil luft Bellator 252: Pitbull vs. Carvalho og Bellator 253: Caldwell vs. McKee LIVE in all U.S. markets at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT, while preliminary matchups will stream on CBSSports.com and Bellator MMA’s YouTube channel. Additional bouts will be announced at a later date.

Hailing from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasilien, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on Nov. 12. With impressive wins to his credit over Michael Chandler, Daniel Straus (x3), Daniel Weichel (x2) og Pat Curran, the 33-year old continues on in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship victory in May of last year. Having earned a finish in 21 sin 30 vinder som en professionel, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested current bantamweight champion John Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round World Grand Prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he finally sets his sights on Carvalho.

Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 konkurrencer, including against Derek Campos, Daniel Crawfordand a face crank-submission over Sam Sicilia in the opening round, the 25-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of greatness – and winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.

Med over 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated World Grand Prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of four years ago at Bellator 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan og Saul Rogers.

On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the World Grand Prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, Daniel Weichel. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc.-resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, Daniel Straus, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2x).

Having needed just one round to put away his last opponent via submission in the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix, Darrion Caldwell is on a mission to regain Bellator gold. “The Wolf,” a former North Carolina State University NCAA National Champion wrestler, has looked unstoppable since moving up to the featherweight division, having defeated Adam Borics, samt Henry Corrales in the opening round of the tournament. Nu, the former bantamweight champ sits only two victories away from holding a title in his second division – a feat very few athletes can claim.

Touted by ESPN as the best fighter in MMA under the age of 25, AJ McKee looks to back up the lofty expectations often held by the public for second generations-athletes. Undefeated in his career, “The Mercenary” has made himself known to the world through his flashy persona and trash talk, men vigtigst, his work inside the Bellator cage. With every one of his pro bouts taking place with Bellator, the Long Beach-native can achieve what he set out to do beginning at Bellator 146 i 2015 and become world champion with just two more wins.

Also announced for Bellator 252…is a third main card bout featuring the always-exciting Aaron Pico (6-3) of Jackson-Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, N.M., who returns for his second appearance inside Bellator’s “FightSphere, having previously defeated Solo Hatley Jr. in impressive fashion at Bellator 242. He will take on Pittsburgh’s Johannes af Jesus (13-8), who was most recently victorious at Bellator 244 against Vladyslav Parubchenko, in what promises to an explosive featherweight contest.

BELLATOR BRINGS FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX TO MOHEGAN SUN ARENA ON MARCH 13 WHEN CHAMP PATRICIO ‘PITBULL’ DEFENDS HIS TITLE AGAINST PEDRO CARVALHO

FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX QUARTERFINALS CONTINUE AS DANIEL WEICHEL MEETS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ IN THE CO-MAIN EVENT



Tickets on sale next Friday, Januar 17



LOS ANGELES – On Friday, Marts 13, Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. will host Bellator 241, an event featuring TWO quarterfinal matchups of the Featherweight World Grand Prix. I main event, fans will see a featherweight world title bout with two-division Bellator champion Patricio “Pitbull” (30-4) defending his 145-pound crown against SBG Ireland-product Pedro Carvalho (11-3).



In addition to the five-round championship main event, a second Bellator Featherweight Grand Prix Quarterfinal will also take place, as two former title challengers, Daniel Weichel (40-11) og Emmanuel Sanchez (19-4), meet for the first time since their 2016 razor-thin split decision.



Billetter til Bellator 241: Pitbull vs. Carvalho are available early through an exclusive Bellator Nation pre-sale beginning Thursday, Jan. 16 på 10 a.m. OG. Tickets will go on sale to the general public Friday, Jan. 17 på 10 a.m. OG. Tickets can be purchased at the Mohegan Sun Arena box office, as well Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.



Bellator 241: Pitbull vs. Carvalho will stream exclusively on DAZN på fredag, Marts 13 på 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Preliminary action will stream on DAZN, Bellator.com and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. Yderligere anfald vil blive annonceret i de kommende uger.



Hailing from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasilien, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on March 13. With impressive wins to his name over Daniel Straus (x3), Daniel Weichel (x2) og Pat Curran, the 32-year old continues in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship win over Michael Chandler in May of last year. Having earned a finish in 21 sin 30 vinder som en professionel, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested John Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round grand prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he meets Carvalho on March 13.



Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 konkurrencer, including against Derek Fields, Daniel Crawford and a face crank submission over Sam Sicilia i åbningen runde, the 23-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of becoming an elite force in the 145-pound division – winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.



Med over 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated grand prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of nearly four years ago at Bellator 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, Pat Curran,Georgi Karakhanyan og Saul Rogers.



On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the grand prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the undefeated 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, Daniel Weichel. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc. resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, Daniel Straus, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2x).
