In aggiunta, an explosive lightweight contest pitting Si Awad (19-7) contro Derek Anderson (13-2) will serve as the evening’s co-main event.

After beginning his career 7-1 come un dilettante, the 21-year-old “Mercenary” has made a splash on the professional circuit, recording a perfect 4-0 mark through his first four bouts. McKee has fought under the Bellator MMA banner ever since he made his professional debut in 2015, finishing all of his contests in the opening frame, including three knockouts and a rear-naked choke submission. McKee’s most recent victory came at the expense of Italian Danilo Belluardo during the mixed martial arts portion of Bellator MMA’s first-ever event overseas, "Bellator 152: Freire vs. Souza.” The Long Beach, Calif. native will now take his flashy personality to the Honda Center, where he will have the chance to put his unique skill set on full display in front of his hometown fans.

But that’s exactly the scenario Walker finds himself in now ahead of il prossimo venerdì evento. A two-time competitor for Bellator, “The Crow” will look to move above .500 within the promotion when he enters the cage at Honda Center. The 28-year-old Texan has ended all seven of his professional victories via TKO or KO, including four in the first round.

A longtime veteran of Bellator MMA, Karakhanyan will look to get back on track after dropping two closely contested decision losses against Jenkins, who he handily defeated nearly two years ago via guillotine submission.

Following multiple setbacks to his knee, the Russian fighter is finally healthy and now looks to climb the 145-pound ladder in a competitive division that he once sat atop as the No. 1 contendente.

Just a few years ago, Bubba Jenkins was widely regarded as the top MMA prospect in all of the sport, though the title became tainted following the aforementioned loss to Karakhanyan at “Bellator 132.” The former NCAA National Champion wrestler with Arizona State University now has three consecutive wins under his belt, and is looking for redemption. Heading into his 11th fight under the Scot Coker-led promotion, the 28-year-old “Highlight Kid” looks to put on a standout performance in Bellator’s incredibly deep featherweight division.

SANTA MONICA, COME. (Aprile 11, 2016) – Injuries to both Derek Campi e John Teixeira have forced Bellator MMA to find replacements to compete against brothers Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (15-7) e Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (24-3) aprile 16 e 22 rispettivamente.

Di conseguenza, the Scott Coker-led promotion has put its newest free agent acquisition to work immediately, con la notizia che Kevin Suza (15-4) will compete against Patricky at 155-pounds, in the first fight of his freshly inked multi-fight contract during the main event of "Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Souza.”

Nel frattempo, in caso di co-principale "Bellator 153: Henderson vs. Koreshkov," Patricio will now fight the tenacious Henry Corrales (12-2), who agreed to face the former Bellator MMA Featherweight Champion on less than two weeks notice.

"Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Suza” will also include the promotional debut of Italian fan-favorite Alessio Sakara (17-11), che affronta Brian Rogers (12-8) in a light heavyweight matchup, while one of MMA’s most promising young prospects, A.J. McKee (3-0), combattimenti Danilo Belluardo (5-1) a 145 libbre. Anche, anastasia Yankova (2-0) farà il suo debutto promozionale contro Anjela Rosa nell'azione dei pesi mosca MMA e nei concorrenti dell'Oktagon Daniele Miceli (2-0) e Daniele Scatizzi (6-2) completerà la carta MMA con una resa dei conti piuma.

"Bellator 153: Henderson vs. Koreshkov” is also brimming with must-see mixed martial arts action as well, with the promotional debut of Benson Henderson (23-5), who challenges Andrey Koreshkov (18-1) for the 170-pound strap, Brennan Ward (13-3) goes to battle contro “Cyborg” Santos (20-16), Michael "Venom" Pagina (9-0) facce Jeremie Holloway (7-1), e Brent Primus (6-0) meets “Toninho Furia” (27-5).

"Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Suza” airs on SPIKE Saturday, Aprile 16 a 10 p.m. ET / PT, mentre "Bellator 153: Henderson vs. Koreshkov” airs at a special start time of 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT, which is immediately followed by the debut of "Bellator Kickboxing: Torino " a 11:00 p.m. ET / PT.

Fresh off an emphatic knockout of Ryan Couture a "Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich” to kickoff 2016, Patricky “Pitbull” will look to extend his current winning streak when he takes on the debuting Kevin Souza.

A member of the Blackzilians, the 31-year-old has been victorious in 10 del suo ultimo 11 fights as a professional and put together an impressive 3-1 run with the UFC. The multi-time, post-fight bonus award winner has a knack for the spectacular, con 10 finishes coming in the opening round and 13 fuori da 15 victories ending before reaching the judges’ scorecard. The Salvador native has competed exclusively at 145-pounds, but due to the fight being on short notice, Souza will step up and compete against “Pitbull” in leggero.

Henry Corrales continues his run of never turning down a fight in Bellator MMA, after agreeing to fight Patricio “Pitbull.” The fight will be Corrales’ third in the Viacom-owned promotion, after bouts against current featherweight titlist Daniel Straus and newly re-signed contender Emanuel Sanchez. A former King of the Cage bantamweight champion, “OK” has finished 10 della sua 12 wins as a pro.
