Hilsen fra Natal, stor nordlig elv, Brasil, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on March 13. With impressive wins to his name over Daniel Straus (x3), Daniel Weichel (x2) og Pat Curran, the 32-year old continues in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship win over Michael Chandler in May of last year. Etter å ha tjent en finish i 21 av hans 30 vinner som en profesjonell, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested Juan Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round grand prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he meets Carvalho on March 13.
Den portugisiske innleveringsspesialisten Pedro Carvalho kommer inn i Bellator-buret for bare femte gang i sin åtte år lange profesjonelle karriere, på jakt etter sin syvende seier på rad og hans første seier i verdensmesterskapet. Med seire i ni av hans siste 11 konkurranser, including against Derek Fields, Daniel Crawford and a face crank submission over Sam Sicilia i åpningsrunden, the 23-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of becoming an elite force in the 145-pound division – winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.
Med over 50 profesjonell kjemper mot navnet hans, Tysklands Daniel Weichel er klar til å lage sitt 2020 debut in a highly anticipated grand prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of nearly four years ago at Bellator 159. Etter sin Bellator-debut i 2014, "Drake" har hatt et imponerende salgsfremmende merke 9-3, inkludert sentrale seire over Sanchez, Pat Curran,Georgi Karakhanyan og Saul Rogers.
På hælene til enda en mesterlig forestilling som endte med en innleveringsseier over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the grand prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the undefeated 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, Daniel Weichel. Siden vi gikk sammen med Bellator i 2014, Milwaukee, Wisc. resident has collected 11 seire over en 14-kamp, inkludert viktige gevinster over slike som Claxton, Daniel Straus, Marcos Galvao og Georgi Karakhanyan (2x).
