Royce Gracie

El nom Gracie és sinònim de MMA, i això es deu en gran part a Royce Gracie, un home que es considera que va inventar l’esport tal com el coneixem avui. El guanyador dels primers esdeveniments UFC, Gracie anava a desmantellar diversos oponents en una sola nit, molts dels quals eren molt més grans que ell. Durant molts anys no va haver-hi cap resposta per a la tècnica de Gracie Jiu-Jitsu que va lluitar. Avui, és difícil trobar un lluitador MMA que no s’hagi format en l’art del jiu-jitsu brasiler que va inventar el seu pare. Al febrer de 2016, Gracie va titular el títol de "Bellator 149", un esdeveniment que va trencar els registres de visió de l'empresa que romanen intactes fins als nostres dies..

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Amb un currículum increïble destacat per les victòries sobre quatre membres de la llegendària família Gracie, inclòs Royler, Renzo, Ryan, i Royce Gracie, Sakuraba ha heretat el sobrenom de "El caçador de Gracie". L’artista marcial mixt japonès és especialment recordat pel seu primer enfrontament amb Royce, una marató de noranta minuts que va acabar amb un TKO (parada de cantonada) gairebé victòria de Sakuraba 17 fa anys que. Gracie venjaria més tard la seva pèrdua, guanyant una decisió unànime guanyant a Sakuraba a “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" a l’interior del Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Ara, gairebé una dècada després, les dues llegendes es retroben i Bellator MMA us dóna l'oportunitat d'estar-hi quan passi!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione va portar originalment el seu talent a la graella del futbol, signant com a agent lliure no redactat amb els New York Giants a 2002. Després de breus estades amb els San Francisco 49ers i Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione va entrar a la gàbia MMA i des de llavors no ha mirat enrere. El veterà UFC de catorze vegades va començar la seva carrera professional amb victòries en els seus primers cinc combats, quatre de les quals van arribar per eliminatòria. Conegut com un dels primers classificats en aquest esport, el natiu d’Indianapolis, de 37 anys, va acabar recentment la seva carrera amb el seu antic empresari, prenent la decisió de provar una agència gratuïta. Mitrione ara intentarà duplicar l'èxit que va trobar al llarg de la seva carrera, quan coneix Fedor Emelianenko a San José aquest febrer.

 

Wanderlei Silva

L'exsuperestrella de l'UFC, Wanderlei Silva, també hi assistirà Gener 20, mentre "The Axe Murderer" es prepara per al seu debut amb Bellator MMA en l'esperat any de 2017. L’home que l’ha cridat constantment des que es va unir a la promoció dirigida per Scott Coker, Michael Sonnen, competirà a l'esdeveniment principal de "Bellator 170" només un dia després del "Fan Fest". Un veterà de 48 combats, Silva es va unir a la lluita MMA de Bellator després d'una il·lustre carrera amb UFC, passant per les centrals de pes mitjà Cung Le, Brian Stann, i l'actual campió de la divisió Michael Bisping. Amb 25 de la seva 35 victòries en la carrera per eliminatòria, el brasiler brasiler de 40 anys té moltes ganes de fer sentir la seva presència dins de la gàbia MMA de Bellator. Uniu-vos a nosaltres per "Bellator 170" "Fan Fest" a Los Angeles i coneixeu la llegenda ell mateix abans de fer el seu debut promocional.

 

King Mo

"King Mo" ha estat un pilar fonamental amb Bellator MMA des de llavors 2013, lluitant contra tothom, tant la divisió pes pesat pesat com la pesada. Aquesta serà la segona aparició de Lawal a l’esdeveniment “Fan Fest” de Bellator MMA, donant als aficionats una altra oportunitat de conèixer l'explosiu davanter fora de la gàbia. Després de la seva recent victòria sobre l'esdeveniment principal Satoshi Ishii, "Mo" ara posa el punt de mira en altres combats amb "pes pesat" per saciar la seva set.

 

John McCarthy

Conegut per molts com a "Gran" John McCarthy, l'àrbitre de MMA de llarga data centrarà la seva atenció en el "Fan Fest" de Bellator MMA i convocarà els trets en un dia ple de diversió amb alguns dels millors aficionats que aquest esport ofereix. McCarthy ha oficiat diversos combats memorables promoguts per Bellator MMA, la UFC i altres, convertint-se en un dels àrbitres més notoris de la història de l'esport.
