വില്പനയ്ക്ക് ടിക്കറ്റ് ഈ വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച
ലോസ് ആംജല്സ് – Bellator is pleased to announce its anticipated return to London for Bellator 200 മേല് വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച, മേയ് 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 റാഫേൽ Carvalho (15-1) defending his crown against Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2) and the return of London’s own മൈക്കൽ "വിഷവും" പേജ് (12-0), ആരാണ് എടുക്കുന്നു ദാവീദ് "പോട്ടെ" Rickels (19-4, 2 NC,). Additional main card bouts will be announced shortly.
Tickets for the event will be available to the general public on വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച, മാര്ച്ച് 2 at The SSE Arena, Wembley Box Office (0844 815 0815), Ticketmaster.com, ssearena.co.uk ഒപ്പം axs.com. A special SSE pre-sale will take place ബുധനാഴ്ച, ഫെബ്രുവരി 28, while all other pre-sales, including Bellator Nation, will begin വ്യാഴാഴ്ച, മാര്ച്ച് 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, ബ്രസീൽ, Carvalho joined the Bellator roster in 2014, garnering the attention of fans who tuned into Bellator 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 ജോ ഷില്ലിംഗ്, Alessio Sakara, മെൽവിൻ Manhoef (2X) 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 അലക്സാണ്ടർ 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, ഇനത്തിന് വലിചൂരി, ഊരീയാവു ഹാൾ, ഡാൻ ഹെൻഡേഴ്സൺ, “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. ഇപ്പോള്, “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. At Bellator 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 ആദം Piccolot ഈ കഴിഞ്ഞ ഡിസംബർ, 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.”
