בעללאַטאָר 200: GEGARD MOUSASI CHALLENGES RAFAEL CARVALHO FOR MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE AND BRITAIN’S MICHAEL ‘VENOM’ PAGE RETURNS AGAINST DAVID ‘CAVEMAN’ RICKELS

LONDON TO HOST HISTORIC בעללאַטאָר 200 אויף קען 25

cid:image002.png@01D3AED7.C4230F30

טיקאַץ אויף SALE דאס איז פרייטאג

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Bellator is pleased to announce its anticipated return to London for בעללאַטאָר 200 אויף פרייַטיק, מייַ 25. The landmark event will emanate from The SSE Arena, Wembley and will air on Paramount Network.

 

The first two fights, of what promises to be one of the most exciting event in company history, features middleweight champion ראַפאַעל קאַרוואַלהאָ (15-1) defending his crown against געגאַרד מאָוסאַסי (43-6-2) and the return of London’s own מיכאל "ווענאָם" Page (12-0), ווער נעמט אויף דוד "דער קאַוועמאַן" ריקקעלס (19-4, 2 נק). Additional main card bouts will be announced shortly.

 

Tickets for the event will be available to the general public on פרייַטיק, מאַרץ 2 at The SSE Arena, Wembley Box Office (0844 815 0815), Ticketmaster.com, ssearena.co.uk און axs.com. A special SSE pre-sale will take place מיטוואָך, פעברואַר 28, while all other pre-sales, including Bellator Nation, will begin דאָנערשטיק, מאַרץ 1.

 

“Bellator continues to place a huge emphasis on its expansion into markets around the globe and creating a strong presence in the U.K. is a very important part of that,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “Our fans are going to be excited about the card we put together for this monumental event, as Bellator 200 will be one of our greatest to date.”

 

Quietly flying under the radar as Bellator’s current longest-reigning champion, Rafael Carvalho receives his toughest challenge to date when he meets Mousasi in London. A product of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Carvalho joined the Bellator roster in 2014, garnering the attention of fans who tuned into בעללאַטאָר 125 by emphatically finishing Brian Rogers in the first round. The run hasn’t stopped there, as the 31-year-old has gone onto defeat דזשאָו שילינג, אַלעססיאָ סאַקאַראַ, מעלווין מאַנהאָעף (2רענטגענ) and Brandon Halsey, tying the record for most title defenses in the division’s history in the process.

 

Gegard Mousasi impressed in his promotional debut over former Bellator middleweight champion אלכסנדר שלעמענקאָ, a win that pushed his current unbeaten streak to six fights. “The Dreamcatcher,” who currently trains out of The Netherlands, holds one of the most impressive resumes in all of the sport, at one time winning the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles. With victories against some of the sport’s best, including Chris Weidman, וויטאָר בעלפאָרט, וריאַה האַלל, Dan Henderson, “Jacare” Souza, Mark Hunt and Ovince Saint-Preux, the Judo black belt will now set his sights on Bellator gold when he enters the cage on May 25.

 

There are few fighters who in such a short span of time have provided the type of highlight-reel entertainment that Michael Page has. איצט, “MVP” returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since 2016, a year that saw Page go viral for his perfectly-timed flying knee finish against 40-fight-veteran “Cyborg” Santos and the well-orchestrated celebration that included the toss of a Pokéball. 2017 saw Page successfully enter the realm of boxing, where he won his debut via TKO. בייַ בעללאַטאָר 200, the London native will make his ninth appearance for Bellator, going unbeaten and finishing his opponent in the opening frame on five occasions.

 

David Rickels has competed under the Bellator banner more times than anyone in promotional history with 19 and will extend the record when he returns to 170-pounds for the first time since the Bellator Season Six Welterweight Tournament in 2012. The fighting pride of Derby, Kansas is coming off a unanimous decision victory against אד"ם פּיקקאָלאָט דעם פאַרגאַנגענהייַט דעצעמבער, improving his current winning streak to two. Never one to shy away from a scrap, this matchup should produce fireworks when “The Caveman’s” style clashes with the unorthodox swagger of “MVP.”

 

דערהייַנטיקט בעללאַטאָר 200 Fight Card:

Middleweight World Title Bout: ראַפאַעל קאַרוואַלהאָ (15-1) ווס. געגאַרד מאָוסאַסי (43-6-2)

BELLATOR MMA RETURNS TO KANSAS WITH LIGHTWEIGHT CLASH FEATURING DAVID ‘THE CAVEMAN’ RICKELS AND AARON DERROW INSIDE KANSAS STAR ARENA ON JANUARY 27

 

PAIR OF UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS CHRIS HARRIS AND JORDAN YOUNG ALSO SLATED FOR MAIN CARD ACTION

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ, קאַליף. (נאָוועמבער 28, 2016) – A lightweight bout pitting Kansas’ most popular MMA fighter דוד ריקקעלס (17-4, 2 נק) קעגן Aaron Derrow (14-8) and a middleweight bout featuring undefeated phenom Chris Harris (7-0) קעגן Jordan Young (5-0) are the first two fights announced for “Bellator 171” which will take place inside Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, קאַנסאַס, אויף יאנואר 27.

“Bellator 171,” וואָס אַירס לעבן אויף ספּייק בייַ 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, is expected to have a main event announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the event starting at just $24, גיין אויף פאַרקויף שבת, דעצעמבער. 3 with an exclusive two-day Bellator Nation pre-sale beginning November 30, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or KansasStarEventCenter.com. The event takes place one week after the extremely anticipated "בעללאַטאָר 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” in Inglewood, קאַליף.

“The King of Kansas” will once again compete on the Spike-televised main card of Bellator MMA’s return to Kansas Star Arena. A 17-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Rickels will return to action for the first time since competing against Melvin Guillard this past summer. “The Caveman” has strung together an impressive career, totaling 11 wins over his seven years with the promotion, including four of his five career knockouts. A native of Derby, קאַנסאַס, Rickles recently delivered a brutal first round knockout in his co-main clash with Bobby Cooper at "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס. Spartan.” The 27-year-old Rickels now prepares for Aaron Derrow, who enters the bout undefeated since joining Bellator MMA in 2014.

A native of Blue Springs, מאַזעראַ, Derrow has made an immediate impact on the promotion, collecting victories in each of his first two fights under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Following his hot start, “Daddy Long Legs” will now be tasked with one of the lightweight divisions most proven veterans in David Rickels. Of his 14 career wins, Derrow has finished his opponent in 12 פון זיי, אַרייַנגערעכנט 10 of the submission variety. The 29-year-old Derrow has scored two knockouts, each of which came in the first twenty seconds of action. Derrow will have his hands full with Rickels and the raucous hometown crowd that follows him when the two enter the cage on יאַנואַר 27.

With an unblemished mark of 7-0, Harris enters the cage riding an impressive string of success to begin his professional career. Fighting out of Wichita, קאַנסאַס, Harris will have the luxury of competing in front of his home crowd as he prepares to make his third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner. Harris has a knack for finishing his opponents early and often, recording six wins by way of knockout or submission, including four in the first round. The 26-year-old knockout artist will look to build off of a commendable 2016 campaign that saw him emerge victorious in each of his three contests, including a pair of wins with the Scott Coker-led promotion.

Also boasting an undefeated record through five career bouts, the 22-year-old Young will make his promotional debut against the equally impressive Harris. Of his five career wins, four have come by way of submission, with each of the four finishes occurring in the opening round of action. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, the submission specialist had similar success on the amateur circuit, where he collected four submission victories over a five-fight span. Fighting out of Urbandale, Iowa, the 6’4’’ Young will also hold a significant height advantage over the 5’11’’ Harris as he prepares to challenge one of the most aggressive opponents of his career.

Lightweight Feature Bout: דייוו ריקקעלס (17-4, 2 נק) ווס. Aaron Derrow (14-8)

Middleweight Feature Bout: Chris Harris (7-0) ווס. Jordan Young (5-0)

COMPLETE BELLATOR 150 PHOTOS HERE

MULVANE, מייַ. (פעברואַר 26, 2015) – A week removed from the most watched Bellator MMA event in company history, the Scott Coker-led promotion returned to action on SPIKE with "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס. Queiroz,” an event that delivered five spectacular main card fights.

 

אין די אָוונט ס הויפּט געשעעניש, טשעיקק קאָנגאָ (24-10-2) intelligently managed the distance between he and Vinicius Spartan (8-4), kicking and jabbing his way to a split decision victory (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan did have his moments during the heavyweight encounter, securing takedowns in rounds two and three, followed by a knockdown late. אבער אין די סוף, Kongo received the benefit of the doubt from the Kansas-appointed judges. The Frenchman has now won two straight, and improved to 6-2 overall under the Bellator MMA banner.

It only took דוד ריקקעלס (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish באַבי קופּער (12-6) in front of a sellout crowd at Kansas Star Arena on Friday. Both men had their moments during the action, but after a knee to the body dropped Cooper to his knees, “The Caveman” pummelled his foe with hammerfists until referee John McCarthy called a stop to the action.

קענדאַלל גראָווע (23-15) סטאַפּט פֿראַנסיסקאָ France (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 סעקונדעס אין די רגע קייַלעכיק, winning by knockout. The victory was an emotional one for “Da Spyder,” who recently lost his brother and made it clear his performance was dedicated to his late sibling. Grove has now won three of his last four tilts, all via finish.

טשוקאַ וויליס (7-2) קאָלנער גאַסטאָן ריינאָ (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, winning via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The scrap went back-and-forth over the course of 15 מינוט, with multiple submission attempts and knockdowns by both men. But in the end – much to the delight of the partisan crowd – Willis earned the nod.

Former Shamrock FC Flyweight Champion Rebecca Ruth (6-1) דיפיטיד Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) דורך יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס.
