This is an incredible indication of the amazing show that we are putting together, and there is so much more to come!"
Oktagon Kickboxing President Carlo Di Blasi nabanggit: “When Scott Coker confirmed me of the coming of Bellator MMA in the Olympic city of Turin with Oktagon kickboxing I immediately thought this is actually the biggest hit ever in European history of fighting sport.
“The expectations are really high and I am sure the spectators at venue and on TV will keep this enthusiasm during the whole show.”
Sa Abril 16, Italy’s own Alessio Sakara will be making his first appearance for Bellator MMA and looking to build upon his first-round TKO victory this past September. “Legionarius” has competed at 185-pounds for a majority of his nearly 14-year career but going forward the 34-year-old will be facing opponents at light heavyweight. With wins against Joe Vedepo, Thales Leites, at James Irvin already on his record, Sakara will have plenty to fight for when he enters the fray in front of a partisan crowd on Abril 16. It’s worth noting that Sakara has also taken professional boxing tilts, compiling a record of 8-1 with six wins coming by way of knockout.
Sakara’s opponent Rogers recently moved up in weight classes, making the jump from 185 to 205-pounds. The 31-year-old Strikeforce veteran has been competing under the Bellator MMA banner since 2011 and has had 11 fights along the way.

With his stoppage of up-and-coming Bellator MMA middleweight contender Hisaki Kato at the conclusion of 2015, the 39-year-old Manhoef has proven once again that he has plenty left in the tank. “Walang Mercy” has competed in more than 100 professional bouts during his combat sports tenure, with more than 50 of his victories coming by way of knockout. Look for that trend to continue when the dangerous striker returns to action in Northern Italy.
It’s easy to classify Anastasia Yankova bilang “just another pretty face,” but the 24-year-old Russian Muay Thai Champion has the fighting skills to more than match her good looks. Undefeated thus far in her budding MMA career, the Moscow native has attacked the limbs of both her opponents and earned early submission stoppages, piquing the interest of promotions around the globe.

Known also as “The Soul Assassin,” Ross is working on a transition into the sport of MMA.
Daniels is a multi-time champion karate fighter who made a name for himself under the now defunct World Combat League banner. A confident, explosive striker who owns some of the most highlight-reel worthy knockouts in kickboxing history, Daniels has only been defeated four times in over 29 appearances while competing in some iteration of combat sports. Ngayon, “Ang Real Deal” looks to showcase why he proudly wears the acronym “G.O.A.T.” on the back of his tights when he fights in Torino, Italy on Abril 16.
2015 was a record-shattering year for the Scott Coker-led Bellator promotion. The success was powered by several major events including “Bellator 138: Hindi natapos na Negosyo,"Na nakabuo ng 2.9 milyong mga manonood at "Bellator: Dinamita 1,"Na itakda ang mga talaan ng kumpanya para sa pagdalo at gate. Ang Abril 16 event in Torino marks Bellator’s first-ever event overseas, ngunit ito ay hindi ang huling, as the promotion has announced plans for additional international events in London and Israel slated for later this year.
