A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingKarl Albrektsson atBellator 231 in October of last year. A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "Mr. Wonderful” has earned professional victories over Brian Stann, Alexander Gustafsson, Antônio Rogério 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 CarvalhoatBellator 213and would later go on to defeat the now-retiredEnku- 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 atBellator 238 ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka, 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, engasindi, flyweight and bantamweight). Following a hard-fought featherweight world title bout withPatricio Pitbull ngoSepthemba odlule, “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.20e Japan. 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. Manje, 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.

Njengoba sazi ukuthi kungcono isizini yentela, kungcono isikhathi kuhle ukukhumbula ukuthi zikhona iziqinisekiso ezintathu ekuphileni: ukufa, izintela Ronda Rousey waphinda okubonisa ukuthi kungani yena iyona fighter umhlabeleli female osemhlabeni nge yokudilizwa lokuqala nxazonke isitha sakhe.
Ukusebenza Rousey sika at UFC 184 ngenyanga edlule kwaba abachwepheshile iphole. SHE sithunyelwe Cat inaliti, ithathwa kabanzi inselele enkulu Rousey sika njengoba, in 14 seconds. Nakuba Rousey kwaba esizwa iqhinga ngokuphelele enyantisayo by Zingano, ukusebenza kwakhe virtuoso yaholela kwenye ingxoxo onesifo yini edingekayo ukuze dethrone Rousey. Liphinde kwaholela engxoxweni engenangqondo noma cha Rousey babekwazi ukuncintisana ngokumelene futhi ukuhlulwa fighters abesilisa UFC sika bantamweight division. Isikhathi esingaphansi esichithwa lowo mbono okungenangqondo ukuthi efeza lutho kodwa uzama ukuliveza lingamanga fighter omkhulu Rousey kuyinto, ngcono.
Kunjalo, igama lokuqala njalo iza kuyinto Cris "Cyborg" UJustino, the Invicta FC featherweight iqhawe. Kulindeleke ukuba lehle ku 135 amakhilogremu for a fight with Invicta kuleli hlobo ngaphambi kokudlulela nilwe Rousey. Nokho, Cyborg ukubulala iconsi ukuba bantamweight ngonyaka odlule futhi washiywa labo izinhlelo. Ngakho Bengingeke ukubamba umoya wami phezu eside elindelwe igqubu umdlalo phakathi Rousey futhi Cyborg kwenzekani sifike maduze.
Muva Rousey waveza isifiso ukulwa Bethe Correia, ashaya amabili "Four Horsewomen" nabalingani Rousey kanye bekulokhu ebiza Rousey out selokhu. Jessica Eye futhi uye elibekwe claim wakhe shot isihloko, kodwa akekho laba besifazane iwusongo lwangempela ukuba Rousey. Ngesikhathi Ukusabalala UFC 184 sika postfight, Daniel Cormier wahamba umqondo ka uzakwabo Miesha Tate ukuthola ufa lwesithathu Rousey.
Ngaphandle Ngicabanga ukuthi trilogies kufanele reserved kuphela uma fighter ngalinye ukunqoba phezu kwezinye, Angisiboni isizathu esenza okwesithathu bekungaba charm for Tate. Nakuba ibe nguye owesifazane kuphela ukuya ngaphezu emzuliswaneni wokuqala kanye Rousey, Tate uye plateaued empini ngesikhathi Rousey uye ayithole kangcono. Uma ababili kwakumelwe ukulwa okwesithathu, Angisiboni isizathu sokukholelwa umphumela kungaba yisiphi ezahlukene.
Ngakho Siphi Rousey? Ngombono wami, uye ayeka bantamweight amadivishini UFC yabesifazane. Akukho lowo uyingozi obuphathekayo wakhe. Uma Zingano kushintshwe isu lakhe futhi wathola esinye shot at Rousey, angahle abe nethuba lokuwina. Beyond ukuthi, uma Rousey wanquma ukuphuma phezulu nokwakhela film echumayo career yakhe, Angicabangi umuntu uyibambe ngokumelene wakhe.
Rousey okwamanje on a run lifana run Anderson Silva sika phezu UFC sika middleweight division. Yena wabusa wonke umuntu endleleni yakhe futhi ngaphandle impi yakhe yokuqala kanye enku- Sonnen, Kwakungijabulisa ukubheka lula. Mpi Rousey sika kunzima suku ngokumelene Liz Carmouche, lapho yena kwadingeka Rousey in a ezingemuva naked binda emzuliswaneni wokuqala mpi zabo 2013 ngaphambi Rousey wakwazi ukubaleka futhi baqinisekise omunye ukunqoba armbar.
Wokubusa Silva sika phezu division middleweight kwaphela lapho ngaphambili ayaziwa Chris Weidman wafika wabonisa Ungesabi futhi wathatha empini Silva. Mhlawumbe yilokho okudingeka kwenzeke Rousey. Yena udinga ukuthola Umphikisi ngubani ozothola ilungelo ebusweni, mnikeni akukho ikota futhi uthathe ukulwa kuye. Zingano lokuzama ukuthi at UFC 184, kodwa overzealousness wakhe ngagcina ebiza wakhe ayengeve.
Kuze Rousey uthola Chris wakhe siqu Weidman, thina banganezela omunye izikhuliso kwabaningi ukuthi kakade exhunywe bantamweight iqhawe labesifazane: wezindlu. Rousey isiphumile fresh of Challengers okufanelekelayo ukuba umqhele wakhe, umsebenzi yena ifezwa bahlanze division wakhe.
