Since joining Bellator MMA in 2014, the German featherweight has posted a 5-1 רעקאָרד, proving time and time again that he belongs among the division’s elite. Of his 36 career wins, 21 האָבן קומען דורך וועג פון סאַבמישאַן, making Weichel one of the most skilled athletes on the ground. The 31-year-old submission specialist will look to build off his deserving unanimous decision win against Karakhanyan at"בעללאַטאָר 147: Thomson vs. Villaseca," as he prepares to take on “El Matador” inside Kansas Star Arena on יולי 22.

 

Sanchez also enters this contest having won five of his first six bouts under the Bellator MMA banner. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and training at the world-renown Roufusport camp, “El Matadorhas recently put together an impressive run, claiming wins in nine of his last 10 פייץ. The 25-year-old most recently defeated דניאל פּינעדאַ via split decision at the record-shattering "בעללאַטאָר 149: Shamrock ווס. גראַסיע "event in Houston.

Hailing from Natal, Lins has consistently impressed through his first 10 פאַכמאַן באָוץ, recording nine wins, with four victories coming by way of knockout. After winning his first four professional fights, Lins decided to take an extended break from MMA from 2007 ביז 2011. After the hiatus, Lins rallied off five wins, including his first two bouts under the Bellator MMA umbrella. איצט, “Monstro” will look to return to the cage for the first time since a brutal knee injury that he suffered against Kelly Anundson at “Bellator 122” back in 2014.

 

Undefeated to start her professional career, Bruna Ellen, 20, competed twice in 2015, winning both of her bouts. A member of Team Nogueira Campinas in Sao Paulo, Ellen recently did a stint of training at the world-renown Blackzilians gym in Florida, where she continued to hone her budding striking and skills on the mat. It’s also worth noting that Ellen’s listed on this year’s “Top-Ten Brazilian Prospects” compiled by MMAFighting.com.

DARRION CALDWELL LOOKS TO SOLIDIFY HIMSELF AS NO. 1 CONTENDER AGAINST JOE TAIMANGLO DURING MAIN EVENT OF ‘BELLATOR 159: CALDWELL VS. TAIMANGLO’ – FRIDAY, יולי 22 – LIVE AND FREE ON SPIKE

HOMETOWN HERO DAVE RICKELS SET FOR ACTION AGAINST MELVIN GUILLARD IN CO-HEADLINER

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ, קאַליף. (יוני 1, 2016) – Bellator MMA returns to Kansas with a pivotal matchup between undefeated phenom, דאַרריאָן "דער וואלף" קאָלדוועל (9-0) און Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) to determine the No. 1 contender for the Bantamweight Title in the main event of "בעללאַטאָר 159: Caldwell vs. Taimanglo” אויף יולי 22 inside Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, קאַנסאַס.

In the co-main event of the evening, local hometown hero Dave “Caveman” Rickels (17-4) וועט טרעפן מעלווין "די יונגע מערדער" גויללאַרד (32-16-2) in a lightweight matchup that will surely provide fireworks. נאָך קאַנטעס וועט זיין מודיע באַלד.

בייַ 28 יאר אַלט, “The Wolf” may very well be the brightest young star in Bellator MMA’s deep bantamweight division. The New Jersey native has begun his career with nine consecutive victories, including five blistering first round finishes. Caldwell will be tasked with the headlining role for the second consecutive time after an impressive first outing at "בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell” in which he had his way with former two-division Bellator champion דזשאָו וואָראַן, ווינינג via rear-naked choke submission. The former NC State standout wrestled to a National Championship and two All-American accolades before joining the Bellator MMA fray in 2014. The undefeated Caldwell is reinvigorated after recently re-signing a seven-fight contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion. For a closer look at Caldwell’s most recent technical submission victory over Joe Warren in the main event of“Bellator 151,” click here.

A native of Yona, Guam, Taimanglo has emerged as one of the most prolific bantamweight fighters in MMA. Having gone 13-2 over his last 15 bouts dating back to 2009, it’s difficult to find a fighter more consistent than “The Juggernaut.” Since signing with Bellator in 2013, Taimanglo has accumulated a 5-2 record including a current string of three consecutive victories. Standing at 5’4,” Taimanglo will once again be squaring off against a much taller opponent in the 5’10’’ Caldwell. דריקט דאָ to see exclusive footage of Taimanglo’s unanimous decision win over סירוואַן קאַקאַי בייַ “Bellator 151.”

As is usually the case when Bellator rolls through Kansas, Rickels will be the center of attention when he fights Guillard on July 22. “The Caveman” delivered the proverbial “Fight of the Night” back in February with a first-round knockout of באַבי קופּער during the co-main event of "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס. Spartan.” A native of Derby, קאַנסאַס, Rickels will be making his 17טה appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, a promotion with which he has accrued 11 victories over the course of a six-year period. The 27-year-old recently re-signed with the Scott Coker-led promotion, ensuring his exciting fighting style will be seen exclusively in the Bellator cage for years to come.

מיט 52 career fights under his belt, 33-year-old Melvin Guillard will have a lot to prove when he takes on “The Caveman.” Guillard seems to have made a full recovery from his brutally broken hand that occurred during his Bellator MMA debut last year. Throughout his MMA tenure, “The Young Assassin” has displayed a knack for ending fights early, מיט 23 פון זיין 32 professional victories coming before reaching the judges’ scorecards. יולי 22 the New Orleans native will have an opportunity to take down another experienced lightweight in Rickels and reassert himself as a top 155-pounder.

BELLATOR MMA BRINGS FANS CLOSER TO THEIR FAVORITE FIGHTERS WITH NEW VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “בעללאַטאָר 149: Shamrock ווס. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage אַזוי צו רעדן,"האט געזאגט Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.
