Light Heavyweight World Champion Vadim Nemkov Set To Defend Title Against ‘Rumble’ Johnson, While Ryan Bader Goes Toe-To-Toe With Corey Anderson Live on SHOWTIME^®在 10 P.M. ET /下午7時. PT

LOS ANGELES– BELLATOR MMA’s massive second half of 2021 keeps rolling on Saturday, 十月 16, when both of the high-profile semifinal matchups for the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix take place at the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury. Light heavyweight kingpin瓦迪姆Nemkov (14-2) defends his world championship against No. 4 排名安東尼 “Rumble” Johnson (23-6), while current BELLATOR Heavyweight World Champion瑞安貝德 (28-6) facesNo. 2-ranked light heavyweight科里·安德森 (15-5) 在合作的主要事件.

BELLATOR MMA: Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Semifinals will be televised live on SHOWTIME at10 P.M. ET /下午7時. PT. The preliminary fights will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, 在安卡斯維爾的 Mohegan Sun Arena 內的共同特色比賽中 7 P.M. ET / 4時三十分. PT. Additional bouts and ticket information will be announced at a later date.

Team Fedor’s Vadim Nemkov looks to remain BELLATOR 205-pound champion on September 25, further cementing his status as the best light heavyweight fighter on the planet. 在他的最後一次郊遊, Nemkov went five hard rounds with former champion菲爾·戴維斯, earning a unanimous decision victory en route to punching his ticket to the semifinals. Should Nemkov defend his belt again and move on to the grand prix final, between Davis—a wrestler by trade—and the power-punching “Rumble,” Nemkov will have showcased his full repertoire as a mixed martial artist in the tournament. Nemkov has been perfect in BELLATOR to this point, winning all six of his contests including three knockouts and a submission.

“Rumble” Johnsonmade his BELLATOR MMA debut in the opening round of the grand prix, engaging in a back-and-forth affair with Jose Augusto before notching another signature “Rumble” knockout in the second round. 憑藉這場勝利, the 37-year-old made it clear his time away from the sport has not slowed him down, and with wins over the likes of Glover Teixeira, 亞歷山大·古斯塔夫松, Phil Davis and current BELLATOR heavyweight champion Ryan Bader, “Rumble” remains one of the most imposing forces in the entire sport.

A winner in eight of his last ten bouts, Arizona State University’s “Darth” Bader will have a home game as he looks to keep the ball rolling when he steps into the BELLATOR cage for the ninth time, on the road to re-capturing the 205-pound belt he once held. Bader—despite his participation in the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix—remains the BELLATOR Heavyweight Champion, a title he plans on unifying with the interim-champValentin Moldavksy following the conclusion of the 205-pound tournament. Bader’s storied career has earned him the moniker of a legend slayer, with wins over all-time greats like費多爾艾米連科, 安東尼奧·羅熱諾蓋拉, 拉沙德·埃文斯（Rashad Evans）, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Corey Anderson has made an excellent impression since his arrival in BELLATOR, reeling off two dominant victories over the likes of veteran梅爾文Manhoefand former ACA ChampionDovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, both ending via TKO. The Rockton, 生病. product came to the promotion boasting an already impressive resumé, previously triumphing over Johnny Walker, Glover Teixeira and Jan Błachowicz amongst others. Anderson’s fight with Bader, his third under the BELLATOR banner, will be his first with the promotion while fans are in attendance.
