The second round victory over Campos marked only the second time in his career that an opponent was able to finish him via knockout. Freire has already put together a stellar 2016 campanya, with wins over Couture and Kevin Souza, as well as a lightweight title shot against Michael Chandler. “Pitbull” will look to further cement his feet atop the division’s elite with a strong performance against the equally-tested veteran Campos.

 

Prior to an undisclosed injury, Campos was originally set for a rematch with “Pitbull” in Italy at “Bellator 152,” but now the 28-year-old Texan will have his shot at revenge even closer to home base. Hailing from Lubbock, Texas, “The Stallion” comes in having won eight of his last 11 extrems, including knockout victories over Melvin Guillard and Estevan Payan.

Following the recent news of an undisclosed injury that forced Pat Curran to withdraw, Lawrence has agreed to fill in to face Teixeira. After beginning his professional career under the direction of Strikeforce, Lawrence has found a home in Bellator MMA’s formidable featherweight division. “The American Kid” has tallied a pair of highlight-reel knockouts since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion last year, including his most recent victory over Isao Kobayashi a "Bellator 157: Dynamite 2.” The emphatic finish was the fifth of his young career and fourth by way of knockout. Dating back to 2013, the 26-year-old striker has won five of his last six contests, three of which came by way of knockout. Hailing from Pacific, Missouri, the former UFC competitor will look to keep the ball rolling against another tough opponent in Teixeira.

Trice joins Aaron Pic, I Ruth i Tyrell Fortune as a few of the recent signees that make up the new wave of incredibly talented wrestling prospects to flock to Bellator MMA.

The 41-year-old heavyweight has had a great deal of success to date, recording four wins over his five career bouts under the direction of regional promotions. “The Undertaker” has finished his opponent in the opening round of each of his four professional victories, including a brutal knockout in his most recent win earlier this year.

"Quan vostè entra en una baralla i et van colpejar vostè ha de mostrar respecte,", Va dir Shamrock. "Estic frustrat, Vaig tenir la presentació però no em prenc el meu temps amb ella. Vaig perdre la meva posició. Vaig intentar enfilar, però jo no era tan ràpid i em van atrapar ".

Quan semblava com àrbitre McCarthy seria aturar l'acció, la primera campana rodona va sonar just a temps per salvar Freire d'un impressionant nocaut en el primer round.

 

Després de la baralla, un aparentment atordit "Pitbull" no va semblar perdre la confiança. "El meu oponent va ser molt dur, però puc anar a la guerra,"Va dir Freire. "Estic molt feliç d'estar encara el campió. Sóc aquí, si vols el meu cinturó es pot intentar arribar aconseguir-ho ".

 

"Crec que la campana em va salvar,"Freire va seguir. "Em va colpejar amb un cop de puny a la barbeta però va mantenir la calma d'entrar a la segona ronda, perquè sabia que necessitava per guanyar la lluita. Vaig veure una obertura després que ell em va donar un cop de puny i li va pegar amb el meu millor esforç ".

 

Un Weichel visiblement angoixada i emocional sabia que deixi una oportunitat d'or escapar. "Vaig començar la segona volta lentament,"Va dir Weichel. "Jo no volia que ell es recuperi després de la primera ronda. Vaig començar a l'ofensiva a la segona ronda i per desgràcia em van atrapar ".

Charles, qui va acceptar la baralla amb un preavís de dues setmanes després James Thompson abandonat per lesió, va ser superats pel considerablement major Lashley, qui es va mantenir en gran posició per competir amb el temps pel títol de pes pesat.

 

El 38-anys d'edat, fa referència al seu fons de lluita estimada com un factor important a reclamar la victòria. "Un sempre torna als seus fonaments en una baralla i lluita lliure és el meu fons,", Va dir Lashley. "He de seguir endavant, la divisió de pes és molt oberta. He de mantenir els ulls oberts ".

 

Daniel Straus (23-6), de Coconut Creek, Fla. Semblava que s'ha recuperat totalment de la seva oportunitat pel títol pèrdua per Pitbull Freire, convincentment vèncer Henry Corrals (12-1) of La Mirada, Califòrnia. a través de la submissió (guillotina) a 3:47 en la segona ronda.

 

Straus semblava que va entrar en la lluita per fer una declaració, atacar ràpidament Corrals amb cops consecutius al capdavant que tenia el californià trontollant cap enrere en múltiples ocasions.

 

"La gent encara estic dominant,”, Va dir Straus. “Això és el que faig. Guanyi o perdi jo vinc aquí a colpejar a la meva oponent ".

 

Straus va mostrar confiat que tindria cap problema de la recuperació del seu cinturó. "El que guanya el títol de pes ploma aquesta nit,"Va exclamar Straus. "Jo vinc a donar-te una pallissa."

 

Va ser un valent esforç per Corrals, qui estava fent el seu debut a Bellator, però era obvi que era un pas per darrere de Straus de la campana d'obertura. La derrota va ser només el primer de carrera de Corrals.

 

En primer concurs de la cartellera principal de la nit, favorit lleuger i ciutat natal Michael Chandler (13-3), de High Ridge, Missouri, va fer un treball ràpid de Derek "El Semental" Camps (15-5), necessitant només 2:17 secondsto anotar una presentació (estrangulament per l'esquena) victòria.

No estic en aquest esport fins a la punta del dit del peu i trobar baralles fàcils ".
