After signing with Bellator in 2018, Lyoto Machida made his highly anticipated promotional debut with a victory over former champRafael CarvalhontawmBellator 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, Dan Henderson, Rashad Evans and Randy Couture.

Fighting out of Hesperia, California., 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, sib, flyweight and bantamweight).

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 atRizin.20nyob rau hauv Nyiv. 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.

BELLATOR SIGNS LIZ CARMOUCHE TO EXCLUSIVE MULTI-YEAR, NTAU Sib ntaus DAIM NTAWV COG LUS
Ronda Rousey- Lub ntuj nqus tsev vacuum
Yees duab Credit: Esther Lin / MMA Sib ntaus
Muab hais tias nws yog se rau lub caij, nws yog ib tug zoo lub sij hawm mus nco ntsoov hais tias yog muaj peb guarantees nyob rau hauv lub neej: tuag, them se thiab Ronda Rousey ib zaug dua qhia yog vim li cas nws yog qhov zoo tshaj plaws poj niam fighter ntawm cov ntiaj chaw nrog ib tug thawj-round demolition ntawm nws tus nrog sib ntaus.
Rousey txoj kev kawm nyob rau ntawm lub UFC 184 lub hli tas los yog nws finest rau hnub tim. Nws xa ib rab koob Miv, dav kev raws li Rousey tus loj tshaj kev sib tw, nyob rau hauv 14 vib nas this. Thaum lub sij hawm Rousey twb aided los ntawm ib tug kiag li phem zoo los ntawm Zingano, nws virtuoso kawm coj mus rau lwm lub kev sib tham ntawm uas muaj dab tsi nws yuav siv sij hawm rau dethrone Rousey. Nws kuj coj mus rau ib tug tsis zoo sib tham ntawm seb puas los yog tsis Rousey yuav lwv tiv thaiv thiab swb cov txiv neej tua hluav taws nyob rau hauv lub UFC lub bantamweight faib. Lub tsawg lub sij hawm siv rau absurd notion uas accomplishes tsis muaj dab tsi tab sis sim mus discredit cov kuj zoo kawg fighter Rousey yog, zoo.
Ntawm chav kawm, thawj lub npe uas ib txwm los yog Cris "Cyborg" Justino, lub Invicta FC featherweight champion. Nws yuav tsum poob rau 135 phaus rau ib tug sib ntaus nrog Invicta no lub caij ntuj sov ua ntej yuav mus rau ib tug sib ntaus nrog Rousey. Txawm li cas los, Cyborg sim ib tug nco rau bantamweight xyoo tas los thiab tso tseg cov kev npaj. Yog li ntawd kuv yuav tsis tuav kuv ua tsis taus pa rau qhov ntev-awaited grudge match ntawm Rousey thiab Cyborg tshwm sim sij hawm twg los sai.
Rousey nyuam qhuav qhia lub siab xav mus tua Bethe Correia, uas ntaus ob ntawm Rousey lub "Plaub Horsewomen" pawg football koom tes thiab tau hu Rousey tawm puas tau txij li thaum. Jessica qhov muag kuj muab tus yaj khi nws thov nyiaj mus rau ib tug title txhaj koob tshuaj tivthaiv, tab sis tsis yog tus twg ntawm cov poj niam ua rau ib tug tiag tiag kev hem thawj rau Rousey. Thaum lub sij hawm UFC 184 lub postfight kev pab them nqi, Daniel Cormier floated lub tswv yim ntawm nws colleague Miesha Tate tau ib tug thib peb keej ntawm Rousey.
Dhau li qhov tseeb kuv xav tias trilogies yuav tsum tau tshwj tseg tsuas yog thaum txhua fighter muaj ib tug yeej tshaj qhov lwm, Kuv pom tsis muaj yog vim li cas vim li cas peb lub sij hawm yuav ib lub povhaum rau Tate. Thaum nws yog ib lub xwb poj niam mus ntxiv tshaj thawj round nrog Rousey, Tate tau plateaued raws li ib tug dav hlau tua rog thaum Rousey tau pom zoo. Yog hais tias tus ob tug twb mus tua ib tug thib peb lub sij hawm, Kuv pom tsis muaj yog vim li cas mus ntseeg cov yuav muaj sib txawv.
Yog li ntawd qhov twg no tawm Rousey? Nyob rau hauv kuv lub tswv yim, nws tau ntxuav tawm lub UFC poj niam bantamweight faib. Yog tsis muaj ib tug neeg uas tawm suab ib tug credible kev hem thawj rau nws. Yog hais tias Zingano tom nws lub tswv yim thiab tau txais ib koob tshuaj tom Rousey, nws yuav muaj ib lub caij nyoog ntawm winning. Tshaj uas, yog tias Rousey txiav txim siab los mus tawm rau sab saum toj thiab tsim nyob rau hauv nws cov burgeoning zaj duab xis ua hauj lwm, Kuv tsis xav tias leej twg yuav tuav nws tiv thaiv nws.
Rousey yog tam sim no nyob ib tug khiav akin rau Anderson Silva lub khiav atop lub UFC lub Middleweight faib. Nws yeej txhua leej txhua tus nyob rau hauv nws txoj kev thiab tsuas yog rau nws thawj sib ntaus nrog Chael Sonnen, ua rau nws zoo ib qho yooj yim. Rousey lub hardest sib ntaus rau hnub tim yog tawm tsam Liz Carmouche, thaum nws muaj Rousey nyob rau hauv ib rear liab qab caj pas nyob rau hauv thawj round ntawm lawv cov sib ntaus nyob rau hauv 2013 ua ntej Rousey tau khiav thiab ruaj ntseg lwm armbar yeej.
Silva lub reign atop lub Middleweight faib tuaj mus rau qhov kawg thaum lub yav tas los tsis paub Chris Weidman tuaj nrog thiab pom tsis muaj kev ntshai thiab coj lub sib ntaus rau Silva. Tej zaum tus ntawd yog dab tsi yuav tsum tshwm sim nrog Rousey. Nws yuav tsum tau nrhiav ib tug nrog sib ntaus uas yuav tau txais txoj cai nyob rau hauv nws lub ntsej muag, muab nws tsis muaj quarter thiab coj lub sib ntaus rau nws. Rab koob uas sim ntawm UFC 184, tab sis nws overzealousness thiaj yuav ploj mus costing nws dearly.
Kom txog rau thaum Rousey pom nws tus kheej Chris Weidman, peb yuav tau ntxiv lwm superlative rau lub ntau yam uas twb txuas mus rau cov poj niam txoj kev bantamweight champion: nqus tsev vacuum. Rousey yog tshiab tawm ntawm tsim nyog challengers rau nws yas, ib txoj hauj lwm nws ua los ntawm ntxuav tawm nws faib.
