LOS ANGELES – Bellator is proud to announce that reality star turned MMA fighter આરોન ચલમર્સ (3-0) will make his promotional debut on the main card of historic વોરિયર 200 સામે Ash Griffiths (4-5) at The SSE Arena, Wembley in London on શુક્રવારે, મે 25.
Fighting out of Newcastle, ઇંગ્લેન્ડ, Chalmers steps inside the Bellator cage following three first-round stoppage victories under the direction of BAMMA.

Griffiths turned pro in 2013, fighting regionally in England, prior to making his debut with Bellator last year during the main card of વોરિયર 191 ન્યૂકૅસલ માં.

The proud Croatian famously won the PRIDE 2006 Openweight Grand Prix championship, as well as the RIZIN World Grand Prix 2016 title and K-1 World Grand Prix 2012 Final in kickboxing.

LONDON TO HOST HISTORIC વોરિયર 200 પર મે 25
વેચાણ પર ટિકિટો આ શુક્રવાર
LOS ANGELES – Bellator is pleased to announce its anticipated return to London for વોરિયર 200 પર શુક્રવારે, મે 25. The landmark event will emanate from The SSE Arena, Wembley and will air on Paramount Network.
The first two fights, of what promises to be one of the most exciting event in company history, features middleweight champion રફેલ Carvalho (15-1) defending his crown against Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2) and the return of London’s own માઇકલ "ઝેર" પેજમાં (12-0), જે પર લઈ જાય છે ડેવિડ, "આ ગુફામાં રહેનાર" Rickels (19-4, 2 એનસી). Additional main card bouts will be announced shortly.
Tickets for the event will be available to the general public on શુક્રવારે, માર્ચ 2 at The SSE Arena, Wembley Box Office (0844 815 0815), Ticketmaster.com, ssearena.co.uk અને axs.com. A special SSE pre-sale will take place બુધવારે, ફેબ્રુઆરી 28, while all other pre-sales, including Bellator Nation, will begin ગુરુવારે, માર્ચ 1.
“Bellator continues to place a huge emphasis on its expansion into markets around the globe and creating a strong presence in the U.K. is a very important part of that,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “Our fans are going to be excited about the card we put together for this monumental event, as Bellator 200 will be one of our greatest to date.”
Quietly flying under the radar as Bellator’s current longest-reigning champion, Rafael Carvalho receives his toughest challenge to date when he meets Mousasi in London. A product of Rio de Janeiro, બ્રાઝીલ, Carvalho joined the Bellator roster in 2014, garnering the attention of fans who tuned into વોરિયર 125 by emphatically finishing Brian Rogers in the first round. The run hasn’t stopped there, as the 31-year-old has gone onto defeat જૉ Schilling, Alessio Sakara, મેલ્વિન Manhoef (2એક્સ) and Brandon Halsey, tying the record for most title defenses in the division’s history in the process.
Gegard Mousasi impressed in his promotional debut over former Bellator middleweight champion એલેક્ઝાન્ડર Shlemenko, a win that pushed his current unbeaten streak to six fights. “The Dreamcatcher,” who currently trains out of The Netherlands, holds one of the most impressive resumes in all of the sport, at one time winning the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles. With victories against some of the sport’s best, including Chris Weidman, વિટર બેલ્ફોર્ટ, ઊરિયા હોલ, ડેન હેન્ડરસન, “Jacare” Souza, Mark Hunt and Ovince Saint-Preux, the Judo black belt will now set his sights on Bellator gold when he enters the cage on May 25.
There are few fighters who in such a short span of time have provided the type of highlight-reel entertainment that Michael Page has. હવે, “MVP” returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since 2016, a year that saw Page go viral for his perfectly-timed flying knee finish against 40-fight-veteran “Cyborg” Santos and the well-orchestrated celebration that included the toss of a Pokéball. 2017 saw Page successfully enter the realm of boxing, where he won his debut via TKO. ખાતે વોરિયર 200, the London native will make his ninth appearance for Bellator, going unbeaten and finishing his opponent in the opening frame on five occasions.
David Rickels has competed under the Bellator banner more times than anyone in promotional history with 19 and will extend the record when he returns to 170-pounds for the first time since the Bellator Season Six Welterweight Tournament in 2012. The fighting pride of Derby, Kansas is coming off a unanimous decision victory against આદમ Piccolot આ ભૂતકાળમાં ડિસેમ્બર, improving his current winning streak to two. Never one to shy away from a scrap, this matchup should produce fireworks when “The Caveman’s” style clashes with the unorthodox swagger of “MVP.”

સ: For Benson…Is there any extra motivation to prove yourself in this fight after the way the last fight ended?
બેન્સન હેન્ડરસન: I would say that there’s not a whole lot of extra motivation this fight. I’m a pretty highly self-motivated individual. I want to win all of my fights. I don’t need any extra incentives. I want to have my hand raised in every single fight.
સ: This is your second title fight in Bellator. Is there anything you learned from the first go-around that you’re bringing into this fight?
બેન્સન હેન્ડરસન: I don’t know if there’s anything that I learned from the last title fight, just being more comfortable inside the Bellator cage and getting used to the walkout and finding my rhythm.
સ: You’re fighting for the title now. Do you think of yourself as a lightweight? Is this where you intend to stay or is another trip to welterweight a possibility in the future?
બેન્સન હેન્ડરસન: I wouldn’t say that I think of myself as a lightweight necessarily. મારા માટે, તે છે 155 કિ. અથવા 170 કિ., just wherever the more interesting and fun matchups are. પરંતુ, first things first, મારે ધંધાનું ધ્યાન રાખવું પડશે શનિવારે રાત્રે.
સ: You mentioned fun and interesting fights. Is the title something you think about as well? The story line of the week is a two-division champion in the other promotion. Is that a dream that you have for yourself in your career or do you just want to stay and be the most dominate lightweight champion that you can be?
બેન્સન હેન્ડરસન: I’m going to go get this belt at 155 કિ., but after that I wouldn’t say that belts offer a whole lot of extra incentive. Obviously belts are great and the meaning behind the belt is that you are the best in the planet and that means a lot to say that you are the best at that weight class, but I don’t fight necessarily just for the belt. You do want the belt, but right now all I’m concentrating on is four days from now and a man named Michael Chandler.
સ: For Michael…Have you ever thought about trying for another belt? I know it’s early in your title reign, but has that ever crossed your mind? અને, if you did go for another belt, would it be for welterweight or featherweight?
માઈકલ ચાન્ડલર: I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. મારા માટે, I’m just looking for the biggest fight I can get. I know there’s no way I could make 145 કિ., since I walk around at about 190 કિ., between fights. તેથી, I’m not interested in losing the muscle mass that I’ve worked so hard to build. કંઈપણ હોય તો, I would jump up to 170 કિ., but right now I’m focused on my fight આ શનિવાર night and I’m excited to get out there and perform.
સ: Why is Henderson an important opponent for your career?
માઈકલ ચાન્ડલર: Every opponent is important. Every single time we fight, we’re putting ourselves, our livelihood, our records, and our reputation on the line. It just so happens for me, I get an opportunity to fight a guy who’s been a champion and has done some great things in the sport. But luckily, it’s the right time for me and the wrong time for him. I’m extremely excited to go out there and make a statement with this fight શનિવારે રાત્રે. He’s definitely a great, willing opponent, but I’m excited to go out there and get the finish.
સ: For MVP…Obviously, it’s been a fantastic year for you in Bellator, especially your performance in London. Have you got your finger on the pulse of pop culture right now and is there something out there that you’re drawing inspiration from that you’re looking to utilize in some entertainment factor on fight night?
MVP: અરે વાહ, I’m always socially aware, but I have to get the job done first and that’s the most important thing.
સ: At the moment, fighting at multiple weight classes and fighting in multiple divisions seems to be the rage right now and I know in the past you’ve mentioned the possibility of dropping down to 155 કિ., is that something that you’re still interested in?
MVP: At the moment, ન કરી. હમણાં, I’m just focused on fighting in the welterweight division.
સ: If you can record a win over Fernando Gonzalez, how many more fights and how many more wins do you think before you are in that title picture and fighting for a title shot?
MVP: That’s not really my main concern. I just go out there and entertain and I’ll keep doing that until I end up in the position I’m supposed to be in.
સ: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?
માઈકલ ચાન્ડલર: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. પાછા દિવસે, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage શનિવારે night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, લાઇવ અને મફત.
સ: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?
ફર્નાન્ડો ગોન્ઝાલીઝ: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. તેથી, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.
સ: With Michael (પેજમાં) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?
ફર્નાન્ડો ગોન્ઝાલીઝ: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. તેમણે અઘરા છે, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.
સ: Michael do you have a response to that?
MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.
સ: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?
બેન્સન હેન્ડરસન: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. મારા માટે, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. પરંતુ, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.

After originally being slated to make his professional debut at both “Bellator 160” અને "વોરિયર 162,“ “Baby Slice” will now look to showcase his fine-tuned mixed martial arts repertoire on નવે. 19. The son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” made a splash in the world of MMA during an amateur contest in Chicopee, મેસેચ્યુસેટ્સ, where he delivered a brutal knockout punch just 1:23 પ્રથમ રાઉન્ડમાં પ્રવેશ. In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, ફ્લોરિડા, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate A.J. McKee as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.
Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.
