During his memorable 16-year career in the fight game, די 6-פֿיס, 45-year-old Fujita of Funabashi, Chiba, Japan has collected two major, professional wrestling championships and faced off with nearly every rival force of his era in MMA’s heavyweight division, including former pound-for-pound king פעדער עמעליאַנענקאָ, Mirko Cro Cop, וואַנדערלעי סילוואַ און Mark Coleman, while competing under the elite promotional banners of PRIDE FC, K-1 and Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye.

The 6-foot-4, 23-year-old Prochazka of Hosteradice, Czech Republic is coming off a breakthrough performance in which he scored a first round (1:36) וואס (head kick and knee strikes) of Olympic Judo Gold Medalist סאַטאָשי ישיי in the quarterfinal stage of the RIZIN FF eight-man Grand Prix elimination tournament on December 29, 2015.

At 5-foot-9, Nascimento towers over the majority of his competition in the 125-pound division, and is known for effectively using his reach advantage and high-level Muay Thai skills to frustrate and inflict damage on opponents from a distance, and set up slick submissions.

די 5-פֿיס-7, 26-year-old Motoya of Nagoya is the reigning DEEP flyweight champion and the number one ranked 125-pound fighter in Japan. Motoya is riding a seven-fight win streak, with four of the victories coming by way of TKO or submission.

Because Efrain had not made weight for the fight, אָבער, the result was overturned from TKO to no contest.

BELLATOR MMA IS THE NEW FIGHTING HOME OF WANDERLEI ‘THE AXE MURDERER’ SILVA

Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (קרעדיט: בעללאַטאָר / לוקאַס נאָאָנאַן)

 

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA is pleased to announce that one of the most popular, recognizable and beloved fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts, וואַנדערלעי "די אַקס מורדערער" סילוואַ (35-12-1), has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight contract with the promotion. The 39-year-old publicly fielded offers from companies all around the world, but the former Pride FC Middleweight Champion made the decision to take his explosive style to Bellator MMA.

 

“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with קווינטאָן "ראַמפּאַגע" זשעקסאן, טיטאָ אָרטיז, Mirko Cro Cop, וויטאָר בעלפאָרט, Dan Henderson, קאַזושי סאַקוראַבאַ, Chuck Liddell, and Michael Bisping are the stuff of legend – but Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career.

 

In addition to his Pride FC Middleweight World Championship, Silva’s packed trophy case of accolades includes awards for Fight of the Year (2003, 2004, 2007), קאָ פון דעם יאָר (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, just to name a few. He now looks to continue to provide his award-winning, entertaining fights inside the Bellator cage.

 

Silva has several options for his first fight with Bellator. Although he has spent the majority of his career at 185-pounds, one of the things that his fans love most about him has been Wanderlei’s willingness to fight the best of the best – even if it was up two weight classes at heavyweight – as proven by his heavyweight wars against guys like Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita and Cro Cop; Or, his battles against light heavyweights like Ortiz, and his most recent opponent, Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second frame.

 

Silva is the latest in a long line of recent free agent signings made by Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. The former Chute Box competitor joins: דזשאָש טהאָמסאָן, פיל דייוויס, בענסאָן הענדערסאָן, סערגעי כאַריטאָנאָוו און Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos גאַלוואַאָ, דניאל סטראַוס, וועט ברוקס, אַנדריי קאָרעשקאָוו, ראַפאַעל קאַרוואַלהאָ, ליאַם מקגעאַרי אוןוויטאַלי מינאַקאָוו,
