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 kampagne, 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 ender, 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 på "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.

 

Three-time All American wrestling prospect Jarod Trice will be making his highly anticipated professional debut, following his recent signing with the promotion earlier this year. Trice joins Aaron Pico, Og Ruth og 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 Detroit, Michigan native competed at Central Michigan University, where he has also earned a National Title at 120 kg and two Greco Roman National Titles, with one at 120 kg and another at 98 kg.The 27-year-old also saw a great deal of success following an impressive 50-pound weight-loss transformation, something that will surely come in handy in a sport that demands severe weight discipline.

 

Fighting out of Clinton, OK., Lee will not have to travel far when he makes his Bellator MMA debut inside WinStar World Casino & Resort i Thackerville, på December 3. 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.

Louis var håndgribelig, da fans fra alle samfundslag havde ventet siden 2008 at se de to ind i buret, med Slice hævder sejr ved TKO på 2:22 runde én.

 

Når du åbner klokken lød, grundlæggeren af ​​MMA så at skyde til takedown på Slice straks, manøvrere ind i en position til at sikre en sejr med en bag-nøgen choker. Men som lovet, Slice nægtede at trykke.

 

Før publikum kunne blinke, de to kæmpere var opretstående og udveksle slag. Slice var i stand til at lande en dødelig højre krog, bedøvet Shamrock, sender ham straks til lærredet. Ligesom Slice flyttede ind til at lande yderligere slag på forsvarsløse Shamrock, dommer John McCarthy hurtigt forskydninger og stoppede kampen.

 

Efter kampen, an exuberant Slice acted as if this victory was long overdue. ”Jeg har været i denne stilling før,"Sagde Slice. "Jeg trænede min hårvildt meget godt. Aflytning var ikke en mulighed. "

 

Shamrock, der så ud til at være i topform, der kommer ind i kampen, var fuld af klasse i nederlag. "Når du kommer ind i en kamp, ​​og du får slog du nødt til at vise respekt,"Sagde Shamrock. "Jeg er frustreret, Jeg havde indsendelse, men jeg tog ikke min tid med det. Jeg mistede min position. Jeg forsøgte at klatre, men jeg var ikke så hurtigt, og jeg fik fanget. "

 

I nattens co-funktion og potentielle comeback "Fight of the Year,"Nuværende Bellator Featherweight verdensmester Patrick “Pitbull” Freire (24-2) retained his title against Daniel "Weasel" Weichel (35-9) med en smuk venstre hook knockout 32-sekunder inde runde to.

 

I første runde det lignede Bellator ville have en ny 145-pund mester, som den tyske internationale straks kom frem med tryk, fange den brasilianske med flere jabs.

 

Lige da det så ud dommer McCarthy ville stoppe handlingen, første runde klokken lød lige i sidste øjeblik at redde Freire fra en fantastisk første runde knockout.

 

Efter kampen, en tilsyneladende bedøvet "Pitbull" synes ikke at miste nogen tillid. "Min modstander var meget hård, men jeg kan gå i krig,"Sagde Freire. "Jeg er meget glad for stadig at være mester. Jeg er her, hvis du vil have mit bælte kan du prøve at komme få det. "

 

"Jeg tror klokken reddede mig,"Freire fortsatte. "Han slog mig med en hård punch på min hage, men jeg forblev rolig gå ind i anden runde, fordi jeg vidste, at jeg havde brug for at vinde kampen. Jeg så en åbning, efter at han slog mig, og jeg ramte ham med min bedste skud. "

 

Et synligt fortvivlet og følelsesmæssige Weichel vidste, at han lod en gylden mulighed smutte. "Jeg startede anden runde langsomt,"Sagde Weichel. "Jeg ville ikke have ham til at komme sig efter den første runde. Jeg startede i offensiven i anden runde og desværre jeg fik fanget. "

 

I sværvægter handling, Bobby "The Dominator" Lashley (13-2), af Coconut Creek, Fla., lavet hurtig arbejde Og “The Man” Charles (9-3), dominerer den 29-årige med en stor jorden og pund, et arsenal, der herunder flere suplexes. Dommer McCarthy stoppede kampen på 4:14 i anden runde resulterer i en TKO for de tre-tiden Naia amatør wrestling mester og hans tredje straight sejr under Bellator banneret.

 

Charles, der tog kampen på to ugers varsel efter James Thompson droppede ud på grund af skade, blev overmatched af betydeligt større Lashley, der holdt sig i god position til at i sidste ende kæmper om den tunge titel.

 

Den 38-årige refereres hans kære wrestling baggrund som en vigtig faktor i at hævde sejr. "Du har altid gå tilbage til din basics i en kamp, ​​og brydning er min baggrund,"Sagde Lashley. "Jeg har brug for at holde bevæger sig fremad, den tunge division er vidt åben. Jeg har brug for at holde mine øjne åbne. "

 

Daniel Straus (23-6), af Coconut Creek, Fla. Lignede han har fuldt steget fra sin titel skudt tab til Pitbull Freire, overbevisende at slå Henry Corrales (12-1) La Mirada, Calif. via indsendelse (guillotine choker) på 3:47 i runde to.

 

Straus lignede han kom ind i kampen for at afgive en redegørelse, hurtigt angribe Corrales med fortløbende slag mod hovedet, der havde den californiske svimlende baglæns ved flere lejligheder.

 

"Jeg er stadig dominerer mennesker,” said Straus. "Det er, hvad jeg gør. Vinde eller tabe, jeg kommer her til at slå op min modstander. "

 

Straus syntes overbevist om, at han ville have nogen problemer genvinde sit bælte. "Hvem vinder fjerlette bælte i aften,"Udbrød Straus. "Jeg kommer til at slå dig op."

 

Det var en tapper indsats fra Corrales, der var at gøre sin Bellator debut, men det var tydeligt, at han var et skridt bag Straus fra åbningen klokke. Tabet var blot det første i Corrales 'karriere.

 

I nattens første primære kort contest, let og hjemby favorit Michael Chandler (13-3), High Ridge, Mo., lavet hurtig arbejde Derek "The Stallion" Campos (15-5), behøver blot 2:17 secondsto score en indsendelse (bageste nøgne choker) win.
