નાતાલ માંથી સંપ્રદાયમાંથી, Rio Grande do Norte, બ્રાઝીલ, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on Nov. 12. With impressive wins to his credit over Michael Chandler, ડેનિયલ સ્ટ્રોસ (એકસ 3), ડેનિયલ Weichel (x2) અને પેટ કુર્રન, the 33-year old continues on in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship victory in May of last year. એક ફિનિશિંગ મળ્યું હોવાથી 21 તેમના 30 એક વ્યાવસાયિક તરીકે જીતે, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested current bantamweight champion જુઆન આર્ક્યુલેટા on the scorecards in an exciting opening round World Grand Prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he finally sets his sights on Carvalho.
Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 સ્પર્ધાઓ, including against Derek Campos, ડેનિયલ Crawfordand a face crank-submission over Sam Sicilia in the opening round, the 25-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of greatness – and winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.
ઉપર સાથે 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated World Grand Prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of four years ago at વોરિયર 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, પેટ કુર્રન, Georgi Karakhanyan અને Saul Rogers.
On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over ટાયવાન ક્લાક્સ્ટન in the opening round of the World Grand Prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, ડેનિયલ Weichel. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc.-resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, ડેનિયલ સ્ટ્રોસ, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2એક્સ).
Having needed just one round to put away his last opponent via submission in the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix, Darrion Caldwell is on a mission to regain Bellator gold. “The Wolf,” a former North Carolina State University NCAA National Champion wrestler, has looked unstoppable since moving up to the featherweight division, having defeated Adam Borics, સાથે સાથે હેનરી Corrales in the opening round of the tournament. હવે, the former bantamweight champ sits only two victories away from holding a title in his second division – a feat very few athletes can claim.
Touted by ઇએસપીએન as the best fighter in MMA under the age of 25, AJ McKee looks to back up the lofty expectations often held by the public for second generations-athletes. Undefeated in his career, “The Mercenary” has made himself known to the world through his flashy persona and trash talk, પરંતુ સૌથી અગત્યનું, his work inside the Bellator cage. With every one of his pro bouts taking place with Bellator, the Long Beach-native can achieve what he set out to do beginning at વોરિયર 146 માં 2015 and become world champion with just two more wins.
