Лос-Анджэлес – Prior to the biggest event in Bellator history, Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Сільва, fans have the opportunity to meet MMA legends Ціта Ортиз і Ройс Грэйс during an exclusive Fan Fest on Пятніца, Чэрвеня 23 пачынаючы з 8 p.m. І at the Dave & Buster’s Times Square location.

 

Дэйв & Бастера, a season-long partner of Bellator MMA, is offering Bellator Nation members the chance to meet two of the biggest names in the sport. Fan Fest is free for Bellator Nation Members with RSVP, who can sign up at www.Bellator.com/fan-fest.

 

Known as one of the toughest competitors in MMA, Ціта Ортиз is a fan-favorite across the world. Utilizing his wrestling background, Ortiz was a punishing competitor who defended his title an impressive five times. Always with a flair for the dramatic, Ortiz engaged in several intense rivalries over his career with the likes of Ken Shamrock and Chuck Liddell. Under the direction of Bellator MMA, the 42-year-old Ortiz claimed a trio of victories that included a pair of first-round finishes over Alexander Shlemenko and Chael Sonnen.

 

Назва Грэйс з'яўляецца сінонімам MMA, and that is in large part to Ройс Грэйс, Чалавек, які, як лічыцца, вынайшаў спорту, як мы яго ведаем сёння. The winner of the first several UFC events, Gracie dismantled multiple opponents in a single night, many of which were much larger than him. For many years, there was no answer for the Gracie jiu-jitsu technique that he brought to the cage. Сёння, it’s difficult to find an MMA fighter who has not trained in the art of Brazilian jiu-jitsu that his father invented. In February of 2016, Gracie headlined Bellator 149, an event that shattered company viewership records.

 

Headlined by the long-awaited bout between two of the biggest names in mixed martial arts history, Соннен (29-15-1) іВандерлей Сілва (35-12-1, 1 Паўночная Караліна), Bellator NYC: Sonnen vs. Сільва airs live on pay-per-view beginning at 10 p.m. І/7 p.m. PT.
