Tim Johnson BELLATOR Heavyweight *Klik DI SINIto view Johnson’s full media session
“I’m counting this as a title, I’ll let everyone else put interim in front of it. Moldavsky is a championship level fighter and so am I, so in my eyes this fight is to become the best heavyweight in the division.”
“It was easy to focus on his gameplan because it is the exact same thing I do. We both are strong wrestlers and have heavy ground and pound. I guess we are going to have see who does it better on Friday.”
“My resurgence in my career comes from me not doubting myself. I lost a few in a row and it was an easy excuse to quit and doubt myself, but I didn’t, and I was able to rip off three in a row and put myself in a position to win a title.”
Valentin Moldavsky BELLATOR Heavyweight *Klik DI SINIto view Moldavsky’s full media session “Yes, there are some similarities between me and Tim. My style is a little different, walaupun, I like to take people down and finish them there.”
“Now that this is a title fight, I understand that there is more on the line, but this is just another fight for me. I plan to do what I always do and that is fight my fight and come out with a victory.”
“It is an honor to train with Fedor and represent his team.”
“His wrestling is not better than mine, and my sambo is going to be more impactful than his wrestling.’ Liz Carmouche BELLATOR Women’s Flyweight
*Klik DI SINIto view Carmouche’s full media session
“I plan to get a dominant finish and earn a title shot. I don’t think either of us want this to go to a decision. Weather it be me knocking her out, cutting her open or ground and pound, I plan to finish this fight in a dominating fashion.”
“It is really exciting to fight in front of the fans and feel that energy again. Walking in and walking out is where you feel it, but when I step foot in the cage it is just me and my opponent.”
“This has nothing to do with Kana and her record. I have to put on a dominant performance and show why I deserve to be the champion in this division. When I got to Bellator, I wanted to climb all the way up the rankings, and that is what I have done and plan on continuing to do.”
“Without giving too much away I see a lot of possibilities here. I see a lot of disabilities in her game that I can capitalize on that will enhance my game. This will allow me to put on a great performance and finish her.”
Kana Watanabe BELLATOR Women’s Flyweight *Klik DI SINIto view Watanabe’s full media session “I am very flattered by the comparison to Rhonda, but my judo and my ground and pound is very advanced and much different than Rhonda’s.”
“If I have a positive showing Friday, then I believe I deserve a shot at the title.”
“Liz is one of the biggest names I have ever fought, but this does not change my mindset or make me feel pressure. I am honored to fight Liz and can’t wait to step foot in the cage with her.”
“I am honored to be the co-main event on Friday. That all means nothing, walaupun, if I don’t put on a show and an impressive performance. I plan to do that.’ Myles Jury BELLATOR Lightweight
“I try to focus on the things I can control, but a win Friday along with how I have been fighting should put me in the conversation for a title shot.”
“I credit my toughness for this two-fight win streak. I continue to show up and work hard. When I was on that three-fight losing streak, I did not allow for myself to get down. After Friday I will be on a three-fight win streak and in a great spot for a shot at the title, and I credit my toughness and resilience for that.”
Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Lightweight “I have improved in every way possible. Jury is just another guy who breathes air, so I have nothing to worry about.”
“Fighting guys like Michael Chandler have helped me, but at the end of the day it is me vs. saya. I am confident, and that has translated to every other aspect of my life. I am prepared for this fight and am going to put on a show.”
“I think Keoni is a tough fighter, but I am looking forward to giving him his first loss. I am extremely excited for this fight and giving him his first loss is going to be a challenge for me, and I look forward to It.”
"Secara jujur, I don’t want to look ahead of this fight. It was easy to do that in the Grand Prix, and I did not like it. Keoni is a tough opponent, and my focus has been on him. I had a great camp and look forward to showing that Friday night.” Keoni Diggs BELLATOR Featherweight
“I’m stoked for the challenge. This is my toughest fight to date, and it’s against the toughest opponent. I am looking forward to making a statement and solidifying myself in this division.”
“My game plan never changes. I am going to take what he gives me and beat him. I believe I am better than him everywhere, I am not really looking forward to wins and losses, but I just want to put on a great performance and show what I am capable of.”
“Just because he has more fights doesn’t mean he has mystical powers. I train with some very tough people, and I am a veteran myself. I have a lot of confidence in myself and don’t see him doing anything that will shock me when we step in the cage.”

“It is a dream to fight in the United States and making my debut here is a huge opportunity. I was originally on the prelims and now I am on the main card, what more could I ask for?"
“I didn’t have a lot of time to prepare for Edwards, but it doesn’t matter because at the end of the day it is a fight. It is short notice for me, and it is short notices for him. I will be ready and can’t wait to show my skills.”
“I am here to put myself in a position to get a ranked opponent, and Christian Edwards is in my way. I think he looked good in his last fight, but I am not his last opponent. I hope he is ready because I am.”

A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingKarl Albrektsson diBellator 231in October of last year.A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "Encik. Wonderful” has earned professional victories over Brian Stann, Alexander Gustafsson, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, and the man he will face again on Sept. 11, Lyoto Machida. With eight Bellator appearances already, the San Diego-based fighter has his sights set on reclaiming his world title in the sport’s toughest light heavyweight division.
After signing with Bellator in 2018, Lyoto Machida made his highly anticipated promotional debut with a victory over former champRafael CarvalhodiBellator 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. Having lost to Davis in the first matchup in Brazil, the native ofSalvador, Bahia, Brazil is looking for redemption and a future shot at Bellator gold.
Fresh off of an impressive victory overHenry Corrales diBellator 238 pada awal tahun ini, Juan Archuleta will look to capture the promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap. Fighting out of Hesperia, Calif., 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, ringan, flyweight and bantamweight). Following a hard-fought featherweight world title bout withPatricio Pitbulllast September, “The Spaniard” returns to bantamweight, where he has been undefeated for over five years.
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.20di Jepun. 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. Sekarang, the submission specialist will face the toughest test of his young career, a matchup with the former Bellator featherweight world title contender and a shot at Bellator’s vacant 135-pound strap.

Memandangkan bahawa itu musim cukai, ia adalah masa yang baik untuk ingat bahawa ada tiga jaminan dalam hidup: kematian, cukai dan Ronda Rousey sekali lagi menunjukkan mengapa dia adalah pejuang terbaik wanita di planet ini dengan perobohan pertama pusingan lawannya.
Prestasi Rousey di UFC 184 pada bulan lalu ialah terbaik beliau setakat ini. Beliau mengemukakan Cat jarum, secara meluas dianggap sebagai cabaran yang paling besar Rousey ini, dalam 14 saat. Walaupun Rousey dibantu oleh strategi benar-benar dahsyat oleh Zingano, prestasi pemain alat musik beliau membawa kepada satu lagi perbincangan yang mempunyai apa yang diperlukan untuk menurunkan dr takhta Rousey. Ia juga membawa kepada perbualan tidak masuk akal sama ada atau tidak Rousey boleh bersaing dan kekalahan pejuang lelaki di bahagian bantamweight UFC ini. Masa yang kurang dibelanjakan untuk yang tanggapan tidak masuk akal bahawa Kuasa melakukan apa-apa tetapi cuba untuk menjatuhkan pejuang besar Rousey adalah, yang lebih baik.
Sudah tentu, nama pertama yang sentiasa datang adalah Cris "Cyborg" Justino, yang Invicta FC juara kelas bulu. Dia dijangka jatuh kepada 135 pound untuk pertarungan dengan Invicta musim panas ini sebelum berpindah ke bergaduh dengan Rousey. Walau bagaimanapun, Cyborg cuba penurunan kepada bantamweight tahun lepas dan meninggalkan rancangan. Jadi saya tidak akan menahan nafas saya pada perlawanan membalas dendam yang lama ditunggu-tunggu antara Rousey dan Cyborg berlaku bila-bila masa tidak lama lagi.
Rousey baru-baru ini menyatakan hasrat untuk melawan Bethe Correia, yang didera dua daripada "Empat Horsewomen" rakan sepasukan Rousey dan telah memanggil Rousey keluar sejak. Jessica mata juga telah mempertaruhkan tuntutan di sebuah pukulan tajuk, tetapi tidak daripada wanita-wanita ini menjadi ancaman sebenar kepada Rousey. Dalam liputan postfight UFC 184 ini, Daniel Cormier mengapungkan idea rakannya Miesha Tate mendapat retak ketiga di Rousey.
Selain hakikat Saya rasa trilogies perlu ditempah hanya apabila setiap pejuang mempunyai kemenangan berbanding dengan yang lain, Saya melihat tidak ada sebab mengapa kali ketiga akan menjadi daya tarikan untuk Tate. Walaupun dia adalah satu-satunya wanita untuk pergi lebih jauh daripada pusingan pertama dengan Rousey, Tate mencapai tahap mendatar sebagai seorang pejuang manakala Rousey telah mendapat yang lebih baik. Jika kedua-dua adalah untuk melawan kali ketiga, Saya melihat tidak ada sebab untuk mempercayai hasilnya ialah apa-apa yang berbeza.
Oleh itu, bagaimana ini meninggalkan Rousey? Pada pendapat saya, dia telah dibersihkan daripada bahagian bantamweight wanita UFC ini. Tidak ada orang yang menimbulkan ancaman yang bermakna kepada beliau. Jika Zingano diselaraskan strategi beliau dan menerima satu lagi pukulan di Rousey, dia mungkin mempunyai peluang untuk menang. Lebih daripada itu, jika Rousey memutuskan untuk pergi di atas dan membina kerjaya filem beliau berkembang, Saya tidak fikir ada orang yang memegangnya terhadapnya.
Rousey kini dalam pelarian yang serupa dengan jangka Anderson Silva atas bahagian middleweight UFC ini. Beliau menguasai semua orang dalam laluannya dan kecuali pertarungan pertamanya dengan Chael Sonnen, menyebabkan ia kelihatan mudah. Perjuangan yang paling sukar Rousey setakat ini adalah terhadap Liz Carmouche, apabila dia Rousey dalam pencekik belakang telanjang dalam pusingan pertama perjuangan mereka dalam 2013 sebelum Rousey berjaya melarikan diri dan mendapatkan satu lagi kemenangan armbar.
Pemerintahan Silva atas bahagian middleweight itu berakhir apabila sebelum ini tidak diketahui Chris Weidman datang bersama-sama dan tidak menunjukkan sebarang rasa takut dan mengambil perjuangan untuk Silva. Mungkin itulah yang perlu berlaku dengan Rousey. Dia memerlukan untuk mencari lawan yang akan mendapatkan hak mukanya, memberi beliau tidak suku dan mengambil perjuangan untuk dia. Jarum yang cuba di UFC 184, tetapi overzealousness beliau berakhir berharga beliau mahal.
Sehingga Rousey mendapati beliau Chris Weidman sendiri, kita boleh menambah satu lagi superlatif kepada ramai yang telah dilampirkan kepada juara bantamweight wanita: bersih. Rousey keluar segar daripada pencabar layak mahkotanya, tugas dia dicapai dengan membersihkan bahagiannya.
