Description automatically generated with low confidence — **LONDON, UK –** I dag, BELLATOR MMA has added several explosive fights to *BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP*, taking place at OVO Arena Wembley – formerly known as The SSE Arena, Wembley – in London on Friday, Mai 13.

With an electric atmosphere expected in London, fans will be treated to a mouthwatering welterweight co-feature as former champion and No. 2-rangert **Douglas Lima** (32-10) takes on No. 3-rangert **Jason Jackson** (15-4). British fan favorite **Luke Trainer** (5-0) will be looking to make the most of his home crowd advantage when he faces **Simon Biyong** (7-2) in a light heavyweight match up packed with knockout potential.

The promotion’s exciting return to OVO Arena Wembley for *BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP,* sees home favorite No. 1-rangert **Michael "Venom" Page** (20-1) look to steal the world welterweight title from the undefeated champion, **Yaroslav Amosov.** The Ukrainian, som er 26-0, will be aiming to spoil the party in MVP’s own backyard, and deny the Londoner a slice of MMA history in the process.

Also confirmed previously for what is already shaping up to be an incredible card is a women’s flyweight feature fight between No. 3-rangert **Denise Kielholtz** (6-3) og Nei. 4-rangert **Kana Watanabe** (10-1-1) and a featherweight feature fight between No. 8-rangert **Daniel Weichel** (41-13) og **Robert Whiteford** (16-4).

*BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP* will be broadcast live in the UK at **9 pm. GMT/4 p.m. OG** on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer, following last week’s announcement of the major UK broadcast deal with the BBC. SHOWTIME will televise the fight live in America.

Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased online from axs.com/uk og Bellator.com.

Douglas Lima is also set for another visit to the English capital, following his headline bout against MVP last year, with a return to winning form on his mind in familiar territory. He takes on Jason Jackson in what is set to be another exhilarating clash. Lima is one of the most experienced fighters on the Bellator roster and will be hoping to add to his 32 karriereseire. Standing in his way is the formidable challenge of “The Ass Kicking Machine” who is performing true to his nickname with five straight victories. Jackson’s most recent win was a convincing unanimous decision triumph over **Paul Daley** på Bellator 260 and he’ll be hoping to continue his strong professional record.

After a devastating knockout victory over **Yanick Bahati** in his biggest test to date at Bellator 267 in London last year, Luke Trainer will be looking to extend his unbeaten professional record to six fights as “The Gent” takes on Simon Biyong. With both fighters possessing genuine knockout power, the Cameroonian will hope to get on top in the striking exchanges and silence a partisan crowd. Trainer returns to home turf looking to continue his journey as one of Bellator’s fastest rising stars after an explosive performance last time out.

In addition to the aforementioned bouts, Londoner **Alfie “The Axe Man” Davis** (14-4) is also set to make a homecoming when he takes on fellow countryman **Tim “The Experiment” Wilde** (14-4) in a lightweight preliminary bout. The pair were due to meet in 2020 but will clash in front of their home faithful in a domestic clash that is certain to grab the attention of English fight fans. “The Axe Man” will be searching for the form that saw him go four fights undefeated prior to a unanimous decision loss last time out at Bellator 259. Wilde will not be in accommodating mood however, as he aims to string together three consecutive victories for the first time in his Bellator career.

There is another English talent on show in the women’s flyweight division as former title challenger **Kate Jackson** (11-5-1) takes on Greek athlete **Elina “Gunner” Kallionidou** (8-4). Jackson will be backed all the way by the London crowd but faces an opponent who was victorious on her last appearance in Wembley with a first-round stoppage victory at Bellator 267.

Den andre Bellator-kvinnens fjærvektmester i selskapets historie, Cris "Cyborg" kommer fra en dominerende opptreden over Julia Budd i januar for å vinne den 145 pund verdensmesterskapet. Allerede en MMA-legende som 35-åring, "Cyborg" vil fremme arven sin som den største kvinnens blandede kampsportkunstner gjennom tidene når hun møter Arlene Blencowe oktober. 15. Etter å ha vunnet Bellator-beltet i sin 12. karriere tittelkamp, “Cyborg” skapte historie ved å bli verdensmester i sin fjerde store kampanje, tidligere holdt belter i både UFC og Strikeforce. Med en profesjonell oversikt over 22-2, 1 NC, Inkludert 18 vinner i mål, den brasilianskfødte jagerflyet har seire over tøff konkurranse som Budd, Holly Holm, Felicia Spencer og Gina Carano.

Med seire i seks av hennes sju siste kamper, inkludert fem knockouts, “Angerfist” har satt seg i posisjon til å utfordre om kvinners fjærvektstitel. Kommer av en enstemmig avgjørelsesseier over Leslie Smith, den tidligere to-gangs-verdensmesteren i boksing vil se for å holde fremdriften rullende og hevde sin første MMA-tittel. Bundet for de fleste knockouts i Bellator-kvinnens fjærvekthistorie, fighteren ut av New South Wales, Australia har som mål å kreve at de bare er i besittelse av den posten, mens hun tar på seg sin tøffeste utfordring hittil i Cris "Cyborg."

En mangeårig MMA-veteran, Paul Daley har konkurrert profesjonelt siden 2003, samle over 60 karriere kamper. Gjennom hans periode, “Semtex” har vært halvparten av noen av de mest minneverdige kampene i MMA-historien, inkludertårets knockout over Brennan Ward i 2017.

Holde en karriererekord på 17-1, med 14 gevinster som kommer som stopp, stoltheten til London Shootfighters ser ut til å minne folk på hvorfor han er en av de mest spennende angriperne i hele MMA. Etter å ha signert med Bellator i februar, Skottlands Houston skal debutere mot en av Bellators største stjerner på Page. "The Hitman" planlegger å beholde sin 8-0, 1 NC ubeseiret rekord intakt og forbedre de tre innleveringsseirene allerede til hans navn ved å bruke hans kjente brasilianske jiu-jitsu-ferdigheter.

Har en imponerende MMA-rekord av 30-10-2, 1 NC, Frankrikes Cheick Kongo går tilbake til aksjon etter en tittelkamp mot tungvektsmesteren Ryan Bader i september i fjor. Den tidligere kickboxeren forblir ubeseiret siden 2015 og vil gå inn i Bellator-buret på hjemmebane for en omkamp mot en kjent motstander i tungvektskonkurrent i Tim Johnson.
