A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingคาร์ล Albrektsson ที่Bellator 231in October of last year.A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "นาย. Wonderful” has earned professional victories over Brian Stann, อเล็กซานเดกุสตาฟ, อันโตนิโอ Rogerio Nogueira, and the man he will face again on Sept. 11, Lyoto Machida. With eight Bellator appearances already, the San Diego-based fighter has his sights set on reclaiming his world title in the sport’s toughest light heavyweight division.
After signing with Bellator in 2018, Lyoto Machida made his highly anticipated promotional debut with a victory over former champราฟาเอลวัลโญ่ที่Bellator 213and would later go on to defeat the now-retiredChael Sonneninside the famed Madison Square Garden atBellator 222. The former UFC light heavyweight champ, known to fans around the globe as “The Dragon,” owns notable career wins over Tito Ortiz, “Shogun” Rua, แดนเฮนเดอร์สัน |, Rashad Evans and Randy Couture. Having lost to Davis in the first matchup in Brazil, the native ofSalvador, Bahia, Brazil is looking for redemption and a future shot at Bellator gold.
Fresh off of an impressive victory overเฮนรี่กอร์ราเล ที่Bellator 238 ปีก่อนหน้านี้, Juan Archuleta will look to capture the promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap. Fighting out of Hesperia, พระเจ้ากาหลิบ, the 32-year-old knockout artist will once again drop down a weight class for a shot at the world title, something he successfully accomplished on four separate occasions while competing for regional promotion King of the Cage (light welterweight, มีน้ำหนักเบา, flyweight and bantamweight). Following a hard-fought featherweight world title bout withพาทริพิตบูล เมื่อเดือนกันยายน, “The Spaniard” returns to bantamweight, where he has been undefeated for over five years.
Currently fighting out of Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., Patchy Mix will make his fourth appearance for Bellator, where he has tallied three first-round submission victories. The 26-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.-native hopes to remain undefeated and build off of his most recent win on New Year’s Eve, which saw “No Love” earn a guillotine choke-submission over Yuki Motoya at Bellator’s co-promotional event with Rizin atไรซิน 20ในประเทศญี่ปุ่น. Prior to his time with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Mix dominated his competition in all nine of his fights with King of the Cage, collecting five first round finishes. ตอนนี้, the submission specialist will face the toughest test of his young career, a matchup with the former Bellator featherweight world title contender and a shot at Bellator’s vacant 135-pound strap.
