BRAZILIAN JIU-JITSU WORLD CHAMP MEETS KYLE WALKER IN MAIN CARD BOUT AT ALLSTATE ARENA

 

 

LOS ANGELES – Renowned Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Dillon Danis (0-0) will make his highly anticipated mixed martial arts debut against Kyle Walker (2-4) at Bellator’s return to Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Malalt. a Dissabte, Abril 28per Bellator 198: Fedor vs. Em.

 

 

 

 

 

Bellator 198, headlined by a first-round Heavyweight World Grand Prix bout between Fedor Emelianenko (36-5, 1 NC) i Frank Mir (18-11), will be broadcast live and free on Paramount Network at 9 p.m. I/8 p.m. Connecticut, mentre que l'acció preliminar transmetrà en Bellator.com i globalment en l'aplicació mòbil de Bellator.

Under the tutelage of Marcelo Garcia at Alliance in New York, Danis began competing at an elite level on the jiu-jitsu circuit not long after emerging on the scene. Danis would win the IBJJF World Championship in Gi and No-Gi in 2014 as a brown belt, with those victories earning him his black belt in 2015. The very next year, Danis would return to the IBJJF tournament and take home the Pan American No-Gi Championship. Garnering the attention of fans along the way, Conor McGregor also took notice, enlisting the services of the New Jersey native to help him train for his 2016 rematch with Nate Diaz. Always one to challenge himself, Danis signed an exclusive multi-fight contract with Bellator in 2017 and has already settled in for training camp at the famed SBG Ireland.

 

 

 

 

 

Fighting out of Herrin, Ill., Kyle Walker will enter the Bellator cage for the first time at Bellator 198, where he will likely play the role of underdog to the BJJ kingpin. Walker made his pro debut in 2013, racking up wins in two of his first three matchups within the calendar year. After taking some time away from the sport, Walker stepped back inside the cage competing for some of the best regional promotions, including a return to Shamrock FC.

Bellator 200: GEGARD MOUSASI DESAFIA RAFAEL CARVALHO PER AL TÍTOL DE PES MITJÀ I LA PÀGINA BRITÀNICA DE MICHAEL 'VENOM' TORNA CONTRA DAVID 'CAVEMAN' RICKELS

LONDRES Acollirà HISTÒRIC Bellator 200 A MAIG 25

cid:image002.png@01D3AED7.C4230F30

ENTRADES A LA VENDA AQUEST DIVENDRES

LOS ANGELES - Bellator té el plaer d'anunciar el seu esperat retorn a Londres Bellator 200 a Divendres, Maig 25. L'esdeveniment emblemàtic emanarà de The SSE Arena, Wembley i s'emetrà a Paramount Network.

 

Les dues primeres baralles, del que promet ser un dels esdeveniments més emocionants de la història de l'empresa, compta amb un campió de pes mitjà Rafael Carvalho (15-1) defensant la seva corona contra Gegard Mousasi (43-6-2) i el retorn dels propis de Londres Michael Pàgina "Venom" (12-0), que assumeix David "L'home de les cavernes" Rickels (19-4, 2 NC). En breu s'anunciaran combats de cartes principals addicionals.

 

Les entrades per a l'esdeveniment estaran disponibles per al públic en general Divendres, Març 2 al The SSE Arena, Taquilla de Wembley (0844 815 0815), Ticketmaster.com, ssearena.co.uk i axs.com. Es farà una venda anticipada especial de SSE Dimecres, Febrer 28, mentre que totes les altres prevendes, inclosa Bellator Nation, començarà Dijous, Març 1.

 

"Bellator continua posant un gran èmfasi en la seva expansió als mercats d'arreu del món i creant una forta presència al Regne Unit.. és una part molt important d'això,", va dir el president de Bellator, Scott Coker. “Els nostres fans estaran entusiasmats amb la targeta que hem creat per a aquest esdeveniment monumental, com Bellator 200 serà un dels nostres millors fins ara".

 

Volant tranquil·lament sota el radar com l'actual campió més llarg de Bellator, Rafael Carvalho rep el repte més difícil fins ara quan coneix Mousasi a Londres. Un producte de Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, Carvalho es va unir a la llista de Bellator 2014, va captar l'atenció dels fans que van sintonitzar Bellator 125 en acabar amb èmfasi Brian Rogers a la primera ronda. La carrera no s'ha aturat aquí, ja que el jugador de 31 anys ha anat a la derrota Joe Schilling, Alessio Sakara, Melvin Manhoef (2x) i Brandon Halsey, empatant el rècord de la majoria de defenses del títol en la història de la divisió en el procés.

 

Gegard Mousasi va impressionar en el seu debut promocional sobre l'antic campió de pes mitjà de Bellator Alexander Shlemenko, una victòria que va empènyer la seva ratxa invicta actual a sis combats. "L'atrapador de somnis,” que actualment entrena fora dels Països Baixos, té un dels currículums més impressionants de tot l'esport, al mateix temps guanyant el títol de pes lleuger STRIKEFORCE, així com els títols de pes lleuger i mitjà DREAM. Amb victòries contra alguns dels millors de l'esport, inclòs Chris Weidman, Vitor Belfort, Uriah Hall, I Henderson, "Jacare" Souza, Mark Hunt i Ovince Saint-Preux, el cinturó negre de judo ara posarà la mirada en l'or de Bellator quan entri a la gàbia el maig 25.

 

There are few fighters who in such a short span of time have provided the type of highlight-reel entertainment that Michael Page has. Ara, “MVP” returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since 2016, a year that saw Page go viral for his perfectly-timed flying knee finish against 40-fight-veteran “Cyborg” Santos and the well-orchestrated celebration that included the toss of a Pokéball. 2017 saw Page successfully enter the realm of boxing, where he won his debut via TKO. En Bellator 200, the London native will make his ninth appearance for Bellator, going unbeaten and finishing his opponent in the opening frame on five occasions.

 

David Rickels has competed under the Bellator banner more times than anyone in promotional history with 19 and will extend the record when he returns to 170-pounds for the first time since the Bellator Season Six Welterweight Tournament in 2012. The fighting pride of Derby, Kansas is coming off a unanimous decision victory against Adam Piccolot el desembre passat, improving his current winning streak to two. Never one to shy away from a scrap, this matchup should produce fireworks when “The Caveman’s” style clashes with the unorthodox swagger of “MVP.”

This week, Tom, Tony and Rich start our weekly broadcast with a discussion on the latest news on Floyd Mayweather Jr. teasing the idea of fighting in the cage. Even though Rich has been talking about this match-up on our show for weeks now, a recent article described the idea of CM Punk facing Mayweather as a rumor started by the
Money Team.Either Mayweather’s listening to our show or great minds think alike. We also touch on the subject of why the UFC may need to diversify with the addition of boxing cards and special events. We also recap last week’s boxing action and a spectacular UFC 221 card headlined by Yoel Romero’s TKO of Luke Rockhold. We then look forward to Roy Nelson’s fight with Matt Mitrione, set to go down later tonight on the Paramount Network. Finalment, we preview UFC Fight Night 126, with a main event of Donald “Vaquer” Cerrone facing Yancy Medeiros.

There are few mixed martial artists that invoke the type of polarizing reaction “The Strabanimal” does when entering the Bellator cage. A longtime training partner of Conor McGregor under the tutelage of world-renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, the 21-year-old has been on a tear since signing with Bellator in 2016, racking up four wins in four contests. With each victory, Gallagher has showcased a growing skillset, culminating in a first-round submission of Chinzo Machida at Bellator 180 juny passat. Now fully recovered from injury, Gallagher has a tough test ahead in the undefeated Hungarian.

 

 

 

Adam Borics made his Bellator debut at Bellator 177, finishing Anthony Taylor via submission in the opening frame. Known as “The Kid,” Borics has competed exclusively throughout his four-year career in Europe, and this time will be no different. Having won over plenty of fans over on the heels of his promotional debut in April of last year, Borics will definitely have the home field advantage on April 6.

 

 

 

 

Bellator women’s kickboxing flyweight champ Denise Kielholtz is riding high following her first MMA victory over Jessica Middleton earlier this year at Bellator 188, while Lena Ovchynnikova will enter the Bellator cage on Abril 6 looking to duplicate the success she had the last time she competed in Hungary, a TKO victory over Helen Harper. When the pair of flyweights compete at Bellator 196, look for both to keep the fight on their feet, making for an exciting standup battle.
