Fresh off an impressive semi-final run in Bellator’s Heavyweight World Grand Prix, Matt Mitrione returns to action on February 15 against a true veteran in Sergei Kharitonov. The former Purdue football defensive lineman splits his training between Indianapolis and Combat Club in South Florida, and is in the best shape of his fighting career. ಇತ್ತೀಚೆಗೆ, Mitrione has defeatedರಾಯ್ ನೆಲ್ಸನ್ ಮತ್ತುಫೆಡರ್ ಎಮೆಲಿಯನೆಂಕೊ, adding to an already-impressive list of career victories.The man dubbed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the 38-year-old scoring wins against some of the sport’s most marquee names, including an incredible performance against Roy Nelson, as well as Fabricio Werdum, ಆಂಡ್ರೇ Arlovski, ಪೆಡ್ರೊ ರಿಜ್ಜೋ, Murilo “Ninja” Rua and Alistair Overeem.

One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, “MVP” has steadily worked his way up the welterweight ranks since signing with the organization in 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, every Michael Page fight is must-see entertainment. With an undefeated record of 13-0, ಮತ್ತು 11 of those victories coming by stoppage, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, ಪಾಲ್ ಡೇಲಿ.

A winner of seven straight, including two consecutive first-round knockouts overತಿಮೋತಿ ಜಾನ್ಸನ್ಮತ್ತುJavy Ayala, Kongo has earned the opportunity to compete in a No. 1 contender’s bout. Undefeated as a professional, Minakov earned a victory against Alexander Volkov, as well as a previous win against Kongo, in his previous Bellator stint, and later continued his winning ways in Russia against “Bigfoot” Silva and Tony Johnson. The two now meet to determine who will go on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko andರಯಾನ್ ಬೇಡರ್.

MATT MITRIONE CHOOSES BELLATOR MMA, SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE PROMOTION

ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 15, 2016 FNU47 ಪ್ರತಿಕ್ರಿಯಿಸುವಾಗ

SANTA MONICA (ಮಾರ್ಚ್ 14, 2016) – Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agent ಮ್ಯಾಟ್ Mitrione (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.

“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”

Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: Kimbo ಸ್ಲೈಸ್, ಗೇಬ್ರಿಯಲ್ ಗೊಂಝಾಗ, ಬೆನ್ ರೋತ್ವೆಲ್ನ, ಡೆರಿಕ್ ಲೆವಿಸ್, ಬ್ರೆಂಡನ್ ಷಾವ್ಬ್, ರಾಯ್ ನೆಲ್ಸನ್, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.

Prior to competing in MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, ಇಲ್. ಕಾಲೇಜಿನ ನಂತರ, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.

At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, FLA, where he trains today.

The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, ವಿರುದ್ಧ ಜೋಯಿ ಬೆಲ್ಟ್ರಾನ್ ಮತ್ತು Cheick ಕಾಂಗೋ, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition with “Performance of the Night” (ಎರಡು ಬಾರಿ) ಮತ್ತು “ನೈಟ್ ಆಫ್ ಫೈಟ್” ಪುರಸ್ಕಾರಗಳನ್ನು.

Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.

Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, ಮಾಹಿತಿ ಸೆರ್ಗೆಯ್ Kharitonov joined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by ವಿಟಲಿ Minakov, and includes other top names like Slice, ಬಾಬಿ ಲ್ಯಾಶ್ಲೆಯು, Cheick ಕಾಂಗೋ, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, ಜಸ್ಟಿನ್ ರೆನ್, ಡಾನ್ ಚಾರ್ಲ್ಸ್ ಮತ್ತು ಆಗಸ್ಟೊ ಸಕೈ.

SANTA MONICA (ಫೆಬ್ರವರಿ 3, 2015) - ಸೆರ್ಗೆಯ್ Kharitonov (23-5) is the newest free agent by Bellator MMA, with the news that the Russian heavyweight has been signed to an exclusive multi-year, ಬಹು ಹೋರಾಟ ಒಪ್ಪಂದ. A veteran of both Strikeforce and Pride Fighting Championships, Kharitonov remains on active duty with the Russian Airborne Troops.

Doubling as a kickboxer at different points throughout his combat sports career, “The Paratrooper” has decided to parlay his recent five-fight winning streak and focus purely on mixed martial arts. Kharitonov’s resume is extensive, with the 35-year-old scoring wins against some of the sport’s most notable names including UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum, ಆಂಡ್ರೇ Arlovski, ಪೆಡ್ರೊ ರಿಜ್ಜೋ, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, and Alistair Overeem.

“I have had the best seat in the house for some of Kharitonov’s heavyweight outings,"ಫೈಟಿಂಗ್ ಎಂಎಂಎ ಅಧ್ಯಕ್ಷ ಸ್ಕಾಟ್ ಕೋಕರ್ ಹೇಳಿದರು, “and I know Sergei [Kharitonov] can come in and make an immediate impact on our heavyweight division. He is an extremely skilled and experienced fighter who can end a fight in the blink of an eye, and we look forward to having him do just that inside the Bellator cage. ಇನ್ನಷ್ಟು, he’s already competed at one ‘Dynamite’ event before, maybe he could do so again in the future!"

Kharitonov joins a division that is currently championed by fellow Russian fighter ವಿಟಲಿ Minakov, other top names include ಬಾಬಿ ಲ್ಯಾಶ್ಲೆಯು, Cheick ಕಾಂಗೋ, Vinicius ಕುಎಇರೋಜ್, Kimbo ಸ್ಲೈಸ್, ಟೋನಿ ಜಾನ್ಸನ್, ಜಸ್ಟಿನ್ ರೆನ್, ಡಾನ್ ಚಾರ್ಲ್ಸ್, ಮತ್ತು ಜೇಮ್ಸ್ ಥಾಮ್ಸನ್.
