Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, Tito Ortiz is a fan-favorite across the world. Utilisant sa lutte fond, Ortiz was a punishing competitor who defended his title an impressive five times. Always with a flair for the dramatic, Ortiz engaged in several intense rivalries over his career with the likes of Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell. Under the direction of Bellator MMA, the 42-year-old Ortiz claimed a trio of victories that included a pair of first-round finishes over Alexander Shlemenko and Chael Sonnen.

 

Le nom Gracie est synonyme de MMA, and that is in large part to Royce Gracie, l'homme qui est considéré comme ayant inventé le sport tel que nous le connaissons aujourd'hui. Le vainqueur de la première de plusieurs événements de l'UFC, Gracie dismantled multiple opponents in a single night, many of which were much larger than him. For many years, there was no answer for the Gracie jiu-jitsu technique that he brought to the cage. Aujourd'hui, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. En février de 2016, Gracie headlined Bellator 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.
