ונקאַסוויללע, קאַן. (נאוועמבער. 4, 2016) – It’s a wonderful life for פיל דייוויס (17-3), who dethroned ליאַם מקגעאַרי (11-1) אויף פרייטאג נאַכט בייַ “בעללאַטאָר 163,” taking home the light heavyweight championship.
As has been the case plenty of times throughout Davis’ illustrious career, his wrestling pedigree was the deciding factor, nullifying the world-class jiu-jitsu of the Renzo Gracie-trained former champion. For nearly 25-minutes, “מר. Wonderful” maintained top pressure on the New York-native, frustrating McGeary and putting him into desperation mode in the fifth and final round. McGeary fought valiantly to both stop and submit the longtime Alliance MMA-product, אָבער אין די סוף, Davis took home the unanimous decision with scorecards of 50-43, 50-45, 50-44.
מקגעאַרי, who suffered the first loss of his young career, was humble in defeat, admitting that while Davis was the better man throughout their main event fight, he will be back to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his.
Returning home to Southern California with a new belt in tow, Davis now sets his sights on his pregnant wife, who is due to give birth to his second son אויף מאנטאג.

In an absolute barnburner, ברעננאַן קעסטקינד און איר אַוואַד went toe-to-toe for the 86 seconds they shared the Bellator MMA cage together, doing their best imitation of Rock Em’ Sock Em’ Robots until “איריש” caught “מערדער” with an uppercut that sent the Palestinian face first into the canvas. With the knockout, Ward moves into sixth place on the all-time list of KO’s under the promotion’s banner, and now sets his sights on a future matchup against the elite at 170-pounds.

The 27-year-old was also able to please רויס גרייסי, who was cornering his bout for the evening.
Javy Ayala Spoils Return of Sergei Kharitonov in 16 סעקונדעס
In what many people thought would be a triumphant return to the sport of MMA for סערגעי כאַריטאָנאָוו (23-6), דזשאַווי אַיאַלאַ (10-5) spoiled that, sending the Russian heavyweight to the canvas in a heap following an overhand right 16 seconds into the matchup. מיט די נצחון, “Eye Candy” immediately inserted himself into further big-time match-ups, namedropping both באַבי לאַשלי און מאַט מיטריאָנע during his post-fight interview. In his last two outings, the Northern California-native has finished his foe in the opening round via stoppage.
