SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Bealtaine 18, 2015) – With an incredible four-fight Spike-broadcast main card already locked up for next month’s “Bellator: Kongo vs. Volkov” imeacht, Bellator MMA officials are now turning their attention to the evening’s Spike.com-streamed preliminary lineup.

 

The first preliminary contest booked features featherweight standout Bubba “The Highlight Kid” Jenkins (8-2), as he looks to build his way back to a title shot against 28-fight veteran Seosamh “The Nose” Wilk (18-10).

 

Featuring a heavyweight contest between French striking specialist Cheick Kongo (22-10-2) agus iar-Chraobh Domhanda Trom-mheáchain Bellator MMA Alexander “Drago” Volkov (24-5), “Bellator: Kongo vs. Volkov” takes place June 26 ag Arena Ionad Imeachta Kansas Star i Mulvane, Bealtaine.

 

Additional announced matchups include lightweights Dave “An Uaimh” Rickels (16-3) vs. John “An Nádúrtha” Alessio(35-17), former Bellator MMA featherweight champion Pag “Paddy Mike” Curran (20-7) vs. Yamauchi suas (18-2) and a contest between middleweight sluggers with Seosamh “Stitch ‘Em Up” Schilling (2-4) vs. Hisaki Kato (4-1) on the event’s featured portion.

 

Tá príomh-aipeanna cártaí na hoíche beo agus saor in aisce ar Spike ag 9 p.m. AGUS / 8 p.m. CT, cé go sruth réamh babhtaí ar Spike.com ag 7 p.m. AGUS / 6 p.m. CT.

Ticéid le haghaidh “Bellator: Kongo vs. Volkov,” a thosú ag díreach $17 and include cageside seats for just $97, ar fáil faoi láthair agTicketmaster.com.

 

Jenkins, a former NCAA Division I wrestling champion at Arizona State University, also earned All-American honors during a separate stint at Penn State University. Díreach 27 bliain d'aois, Jenkins has already fought seven times under the Bellator MMA banner and is considered one of the top up-and-coming fighters in the 145-pound division. “The Highlight Kid” was one step away from a shot at the Bellator MMA Featherweight World Title before coming up short against Georgi Karakhanyan ag Bellator 132 i mí Eanáir. The Corona, Calif. resident now looks to get back on the winning track at Bellator 139.

 

Wilk is a 33-year-old Kansas native who already boasts 28 professional contests to his name and made his Bellator MMA debut this past October, where he suffered a TKO loss to fellow Sunflower State veteran Ricky Musgrave. Wilk has been a staple on the Midwestern scene since 2007 and has incredibly fought to a judges’ decision only once in his 28 láithrithe. He’s at his most dangerous on the mat, where he’s earned a remarkable 15 de chuid 18 career victories by way of submission.
