"Þeir,"Sem hefur barist fyrir heimsþekktur kynningar gaman af fugla Extreme Cagefighting og Shooto síðan 2003, verður að keppa fyrir 11th tími undir Bellator MMA borði. The 34-ára gamall er nú í miðri fjögurra berjast aðlaðandi rák og hefur komið fram sigur í sjö af síðustu átta matarleifar hans. Í síðustu skemmtiferð hans, Galvao lokið Joe Warren á "Bellator 135: Warren vs. Galvao " via submission to win his first-ever championship and fulfil a promise he made to his mother before her unfortunate passing.

 

Meðan, Dantas verður að leita að afrita hann hefði gegn Galvao í fyrsta fundi sínum, which resulted in a second-round knockout at “Bellator 89.” Last May, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao product dispelled of Mike Richman um samhljóða ákvörðun í "Bellator 137: Halsey vs. Grove. " The Bellator Season 5 Bantamweight Tournament winner is looking to become a two-time bantamweight champion come Október 23.

 

Kongo will be making his eighth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, looking to add to his impressive promotional mark of 5-2. The Parisian native has fought a who’s who in the mixed martial arts landscape, with notable wins against Mirko Cro Cop, Pat Barry, matt Mitrione, and Alexander Volkov already on his record. In his last outing – which just so happened to be inside the Kansas Star Arena — Kongo impressively defeated Volkov via unanimous decision.

 

After nearly two years out of action, Queiroz returned to the Bellator MMA cage against Ewerton Teixeira á "Bellator 139: Kongo vs. Volkov," defeating his fellow Brazilian opponent via second round arm-triangle choke. “Spartan” hopes to plant the seeds for a busy 2016 with the matchup against Kongo, where a win can undoubtedly place him in the midst of the heavyweight title picture.

 

Grove capped off 2015 with an emphatic knockout of Joey Beltran á "Bellator 143: Warren vs. Davis," í september. The winner of“The Ultimate Fighter: 3," has fought professionally since 2003 for promotions all around the world, notably ProElite and UFC.

A veteran of Strikeforce, “Kiko” France has strung together a five-fight winning streak as of late, most recently handing the formerly undefeated Ben Reiter the first loss of his young career at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef. " It’s safe to classify the 33-year-old Arizona native as a “submission specialist,"Með 12 hans 13 wins as a professional coming by way of making his opponent tap.

 

A Bellator MMA event in Mulvane, Kansas just wouldn’t be the same without “The Caveman,” who will return to action for the first time since competing against Michael Chandler síðasta nóvember. Rickels always comes ready to put on a show, hvort sem það er á leiðinni í búrið, eða þegar hann er að taka á og hver er hver af Bellator MMA léttur hæfileika. The 27-year-old will be making his 16thappearance under the promotional banner.

 

The last time Bobby Cooper fought inside the Kansas Star Arena, he took home a closely contested split decision victory over“Bellator 147” co-headliner Pablo Villaseca. Nú, “Super Duper” will look to move to 3-0 under the Bellator MMA banner when he faces Rickels in hostile territory. It’s worth noting that the Missouri native has only lost twice in his last eight MMA appearances.

 

Hailing from Ukraine, Ovchynnikova will enter the fray fresh off a new exclusive, multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA. “Hunter” has previously fought the likes of Joanne Calderwood and at only 28-years-old has already competed professionally since 2006. Nú, Ovchynnikova looks to solidify herself as a top contender in the budding women’s flyweight division on Febrúar 26 against a tough foe in Ruth.

 

“Becky” Ruth was undefeated in 2015, winning all three of her matchups by technical knockout under the Shamrock Fighting Championships banner. The lone loss on the Missouri native’s record came against Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger, via controversial split decision.

Á sýningunni, Lawrence Bókfært hápunktur spóla dýralæknir Rothögg í RFA alum og núverandi UFC stjörnu James Krause og PRIDE og hugsanlega UFC bardagamaður Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, fyrrverandi tveggja tíma Golden Gloves meistari og skreytt kickboxer, aðeins haft 3-0 met í MMA á þeim tíma, en náði fjórðungsúrslitum áður launin “Fight kvöldsins” og “KO kvöldsins” bónus fyrir grimmur KO hans John Cofer í UFC frumraun sína. Lawrence, sem berst út af Alliance MMA í Chula Vista, California, er fús til að enn einu sinni sýna vaunted sláandi færni sína í fyrsta RFA featherweight titli vörn sína.

“Þegar ég heyrði að ég væri að verja belti mínu í Suður-Dakóta, Ég hélt að þetta er ógnvekjandi,” Lawrence útskýrði. “The Sanford Pentagon er einn af bestu stöðum sem ég hef barist í. Ég fann vel, að búningsklefanum var frábært, og fólkið var frábær. Sam TOOMER er frábær íþróttamaður með góðu hægri hönd. Ég ætla að nota ánægja mín, footwork, and out-finesse him.
