UNDEFEATED ADAM PICCOLOTTI SET FOR LIGHTWEIGHT CLASH WITH BRANDON GIRTZ AT SAP CENTER IN SAN JOSE ON NOV. 19 LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHTS LINTON VASSELL AND FRANCIS CARMONT ALSO ADDED TO THE SPIKE-TELEVISED MAIN CARD

Залишити коментар

SANTA MONICA, КАЛИФОРНИЯ (Жовтень 11, 2016) – A lightweight showdown pitting Адам Piccolot (8-0) проти Брендон Girtz (14-4) and a light heavyweight matchup pitting Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) проти Френсіс Carmont (14-4) були додані до основної картки "Bellator 165: Чандлер проти.

The bouts join a pair of action-packed fights highlighted by a lightweight world title main event featuring Майкл Чандлер (15-3) проти Бен Хендерсон (24-6). На додаток, a welterweight clash between undefeated British striker Майкл "Яд" Сторінка (11-0) and California’s own Фернандо Гонсалес (25-13) will also be the card’s co-main event. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.

After emerging victorious in his first four professional fights, Piccolotti has continued with more of the same under the Scott Coker-led promotion’s banner. Since making his Bellator MMA debut in 2015, the California native has recorded wins in each of his four bouts, including three consecutive finishes via submission. Piccolotti opened his 2016 campaign with a nifty first round finish of Рей Вуд на "Bellator 154: Девіс проти. Король Мо," lifting his overall record to 8-0. The 27-year-old will look to protect his unblemished mark when he challenges Girtz on Листопад 19 inside SAP Center.

 

One year removed from an impressive first round finish that left opponent Дерек Поля on the Bellator MMA canvas just 37 seconds into the bout, Girtz returns to the cage in an attempt to build off of his current three-fight winning streak. The Mankato, Від., native holds an impressive 6-2 promotional mark since joining Bellator MMA, including four finishes and a pair of first round knockouts. Since making his professional debut in 2008, the 31-year-old Girtz has recorded 10 закінчує, eight of which have come by way of submission. Having won five of his last six bouts, the powerful grappler will look to pick up right where he left off and further his case for a 155-pound title shot.

 

A seven-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Vassell has recorded five wins since making his promotional debut in 2013. The 33-year-old British striker is known for ending fights early with his elite striking and a near-flawless ground game. В цілому, “The Swarm” has finished 13 з його 16 противники, у тому числі 10 first round finishes and six knockout blows. Vassell hopes to build off of a strong performance at the record shattering "Bellator 149: Шемрок проти. Грейсі " подія, where he defeated Emauel Newton. Vassell now turns his attention to Francis Carmont, an opponent that he was originally slated to face earlier in the year at "Bellator 158: Дейлі проти. Лайм," before an injury forced Vassell to withdraw.

 

Similar to his opponent, former UFC competitor Francis Carmont also has a knack for finishing opponents early and often in his bouts. The 34-year-old Carmont has stopped his opponent in 17 з його 25 career wins, у тому числі 11 submission victories and six knockouts. Hailing from Paris, Франція, “Limitless” credits much of his success to the top-notch trainers at Tristar Gym in Montreal, Канада. The well-known training camp is loaded with accomplished instructors, who have helped develop a number of talented fighters, including recent Bellator MMA free agent signee Рорі Макдональд. With more than half of his submission finishes coming in the opening round of action, we can expect the dynamic Carmont to attack his opponent right off the bat in hopes of adding to that remarkable total.
