Wanderlei Silva

John McCarthy

Matt Mitrione

Royce Gracie

Navnet Gracie er synonymt med MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, a man who is considered to have invented the sport as we know it today. Vinderen af ​​de første mange UFC-begivenheder, Gracie ville demontere flere modstandere i en enkelt nat, hvoraf mange var meget større end ham. For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight. I dag, it’s hard to find an MMA fighter who hasn’t trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. In February of 2016, Gracie headlined “Bellator 149,” an event that shattered company viewership records that remain intact to this day.

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

With an incredible resume highlighted by wins over four members of the legendary Gracie family, including Royler, Renzo, Ryan, and Royce Gracie, Sakuraba has inherited the nickname “The Gracie Hunter.” The Japanese mixed martial artist is especially remembered for his first clash with Royce, a ninety-minute marathon that ended in a TKO (corner stoppage) victory for Sakuraba nearly 17 år siden. Gracie would later avenge his loss, earning a unanimous decision win over Sakuraba at “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Nu, almost a decade later, the two legends meet again and Bellator MMA is giving you the chance to be there when it happens!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione originally took his talents to the football gridiron, signing as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2002. After brief stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione entered the MMA cage and hasn’t looked back since. The 14-time UFC veteran began his professional career with victories in his first five fights, four of which came by way of knockout. Known as one of the top finishers in the sport, the 37-year-old Indianapolis native recently finished his run with his former employer, making the decision to test free agency. Mitrione will now look to duplicate the success that he found throughout his career, da han møder Fedor Emelianenko in San Jose this February.

 

Wanderlei Silva

Former UFC superstar Wanderlei Silva will also be in attendance on Januar 20, as “The Axe Murderer” prepares for his Bellator MMA debut in the highly anticipated year of 2017. The man who has consistently called him out since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion, Chael Sonnen, will be competing in the main event of ‘Bellator 170’ just one day after the “Fan Fest.” A 48-fight veteran, Silva joined the Bellator MMA fray following an illustrious career with UFC, sifting through middleweight powerhouses Cung Le, Brian Stann, and current division champion Michael Bisping. Med 25 sin 35 karrieresejre kommer i form af knockout, the 40-year-old Brazilian hotshot is eager to make his presence felt inside the Bellator MMA cage. Join us for ‘Bellator 170’ “Fan Fest” in Los Angeles and meet the legend himself before he makes his promotional debut.

 

Kong Mo

“King Mo” has been a mainstay with Bellator MMA since 2013, fighting everyone both the light heavyweight and heavyweight division has to offer. This will be Lawal’s second appearance at Bellator MMA’s “Fan Fest” event, giving fans another opportunity to meet the explosive striker outside of the cage. After his recent main event victory over Satoshi Ishii, “Mo” now sets his sights on other “Moneyweight” bouts to satiate his thirst.

 

John McCarthy

Known to many as “Big” John McCarthy, the longtime MMA referee will turn his attention to Bellator MMA’s “Fan Fest” and call the shots at a fun-filled day with some of the greatest fans the sport has to offer. McCarthy has officiated a number of memorable bouts promoted by Bellator MMA, the UFC and others, becoming one of the most notorious referees in the history of the sport.

NÅR: Fredag, Maj 13 på 8 p.m. PT

WHO: Den første britiske verdensmester i MMAs historie vil altid være Liam McGeary. 6'6 har den tårnhøje fighter opnået berygtelse rundt om i verden med sin imponerende dygtighed, som har set ham afslutte kampe med imponerende knockout-styrke såvel som jiu-jitsu-dygtighed. I øjeblikket ubesejret kl 11-0, fremtiden er lys for Bellator Champion. Senest, McGeary besejrede Tito Ortiz i hovedbegivenheden for den banebrydende “Bellator: Dynamite 1.”

 

Navnet Gracie er synonymt med MMA, og det er stort set delvis til Royce Gracie, den mand, der anses for at have opfundet den sport som vi kender det i dag. Vinderen af ​​de første mange UFC-begivenheder, Gracie ville demontere flere modstandere i en enkelt nat, hvoraf mange var meget større end ham. I mange år var der intet svar på Gracie Jiu Jitsu-teknikken, som han bragte i en kamp. I dag, det er svært at finde en MMA fighter, der ikke har trænet i kunsten at jiu jitsu. Senest, Gracie besejrede Ken Shamrock i hovedbegivenheden i den rekordstore ”Bellator 149.”

En af de mest genkendelige MMA-krigere nogensinde, Hall of Famer Randy Couture skiftede pænt ind i underholdningsverdenen efter sin kampkarriere, medvirkende i flere tv-shows og film, især Expendables-franchisen og Dancing with the Stars. Inde i buret, Couture var en frygtløs underdog, ofte besejre mænd med store størrelsesfordele. "The Natural" var en multi-time tungvægt og multi-time let tungvægtsmester i UFC.

Når du ser en kampsportbegivenhed, det er underligt ikke at se Jacob “Stitch” Duran som den professionelle cutman på vagt. Nylig, Bellator MMA var glad for udelukkende at sikre sine tjenester som cutman i overskuelig fremtid, efter at "Stitch" underskrev en flerårig kontrakt med Scott Coker-ledet forfremmelse. "Stitch" ses overalt, hvor kampsportbegivenheder finder sted, og spillede en vital rolle i den nylige smash blockbuster, "Creed."

Hvis der er en legende til stede, der ved noget eller to om kickboxing og MMA, det er Cung Le. Født i Vietnam, Le kæmpede 17 gange over hele kloden og aldrig tabt, før de tog springet fra kickboxing til MMA, hvor han vandt Strikeforce mellemvægt mesterskabet. Derfra, San Jose, Calif. - baseret fighter ville fortsætte med at udvide sin anerkendelse forbi kampsportens verden, medvirkende i flere spillefilm. Le forblev konkurrencedygtig i 40'erne, efterbehandling Rich Franklin i det, der enstemmigt blev betragtet som 2012 årets knockout.

 

En legende i tungvægtsafdelingen, Mark Coleman var UFC 10 og UFC 11 turneringsmester, forfremmelsens første tungvægtsmester, og Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Åben vægt Grand Prix-mester. Roserne stopper ikke der; Coleman repræsenterede De Forenede Stater ved 1992 Sommer-OL og vandt guldmedaljer ved Pan American Championships i freestyle wrestling in 1990, 91 og 92.

FIGHT INFO: "Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo” finder sted på Maj 14, og sendes LIVE og GRATIS på SPIKE kl 8 p.m. OG/7 p.m. CT og har en let tungvægts hovedbegivenhed af Phil Davis versus King Mo.

Billetter starter kl $30 og er der tilbud nu på Bellator.com, Ticketmaster, og SAP Center Box Office.
