Quote:
I want the champion. I want Brent Primus. Tonight I took down another former champion and I want my shot at that belt,” Patricky Freire said. “He keeps running from me but now it’s time. I want that belt and after tonight I earned my shot at it. Benson Henderson is a good, האַרט Fighter, but I’ve got my mind on the division title now. You can’t keep running Primus.
Paul Daley defeated Lorenz Larkin via knockout at 2:40 פון קייַלעכיק צוויי
Quote:
The fight went as planned. I felt great and I knew how this would end,” Paul Daley said. “Lorenz Larkin was acting very uncharacteristically leading up to the fight and when I saw all of his antics and what not, I knew the fight would only end one way and that’s with him flat on the canvas.
Roy Nelson defeated Javy Ayala via unanimous decision (30-26, 29-28, 29-28)
Quotes:
The goal was just to go out there, get the win, and work my game a little bit. It felt good to throw some bombs for these fans in San Jose. I had to give Bellator some footage to use, especially since the UFC doesn’t license anything out,” Roy Nelson said. “It was a tough fight and Javy’s a talented fighter. טאַקע, any heavyweight has power and if you connect the other person is definitely going to get knocked out and that is exactly what these fans come to see.
Overall I was pretty happy with my performance. I thought I was doing a good job with my stand up against him, but he’s really tough,” Javy Ayala said. “I just wasn’t able to stop the takedowns and his top control was at the elite level. But again I’m pretty pleased with my performance and I’m already looking forward to getting back into that cage for Bellator.

Aaron Pico Quote: “ערשטער פון אַלע, hats off to Justin [Linn]. He’s a great competitor and I knew it was going to be a tough fight. It feels good fighting at 145-pounds. This is my natural weight and it felt great. I’m going to have to watch the replay of this fight because I’m not even sure how I hit him, it was just very instinctual. I always knew that I had very powerful hands and I’m not being cocky, I’m just confident because I spar with some of the best boxers in the world over at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach. The key to this fight was just relaxing because I knew that as long as I was relaxed in there, my skillset was going to show.
Goiti Yamauchi defeated Adam Piccolotti via submission (דערציען-נאַקעט שטיקער) בייַ 3:19 פון קייַלעכיק איינער
Quote from Goiti Yamauchi: “I’m ready to sign the contract for my next fight right now,” Yamauchi said. “I feel that I’m one fight away from a title shot, after another win like the one tonight, I don’t think there’s any way that Bellator can deny that I’m the number one contender.

GEGARD MOUSASI TO DEBUT AT BELLATOR 185 AGAINST ALEXANDER SHLEMENKO ON OCTOBER 20

 

‘KING MO’ MEETS LIAM MCGEARY IN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CO-MAIN EVENT AT MOHEGAN SUN ARENA

לאס אנדזשעלעס – On the heels of his recent Bellator signing, געגאַרד מאָוסאַסי (42-6-2) will make his promotional debut against former champ אלכסנדר שלעמענקאָ (56-9, 1 נק) אויף פרייַטיק, אָקטאָבער 20 בייַ בעללאַטאָר 185: Mousasi vs. שלעמענקאָ, an event that takes place at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, קאַן.

דערצו, the co-main event of בעללאַטאָר 185: Mousasi vs. שלעמענקאָ will feature a light heavyweight contest pitting “King Mo” לאַוואַל (21-6, 1 נק) against former titleholder ליאַם מקגעאַרי (12-2). Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announcing in the coming weeks.

The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets for this massive event start at $30, with an exclusive Bellator Nation Presale offer on מיטוואָך, יולי 19 בייַ 10 אַ.ם. און דורך דאָנערשטיק, July at 10 פּ.ם. און. Tickets go on sale to the general public on פרייַטיק, יולי 21 בייַ 10 אַ.ם. און and are available at the Mohegan Sun Arena Box Office, as well as Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

Long-considered to be one of the elite two-division threats in MMA, Mousasi is set for his Bellator debut and is currently riding a five-fight win streak that includes recent knockout victories over two former world champions in Chris Weidman and Vitor Belfort. Prior to his UFC tenure, Mousasi captured the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles in Japan. “The Dreamcatcher,” who currently trains out of The Netherlands, has earned victories over some of the sports’ biggest names, including Dan Henderson, “Jacare” Souza, Mark Hunt, Ovince Saint-Preux, מעלווין מאַנהאָעף, Hector Lombard and “Babalu” Sobral.

 

שלעמענקאָ, a former middleweight champion, has competed under the Viacom-owned promotion’s umbrella since בעללאַטאָר 16 אין 2010. Known for his vicious finishing ability, “Storm” ruled with an iron fist over Bellator’s 185-pound division, defending his belt on three occasions. One of the most dominant champions in Bellator history and currently riding a five-fight win streak, which includes a TKO victory over קענדאַלל גראָווע בייַ בעללאַטאָר 162, Shlemenko has his sights set on earning a shot at once again becoming world champion.

 

It was only a matter of time before “King Mo” Lawal and Liam McGeary squared off inside the Bellator cage. On the heels of a unanimous decision victory over “Rampage” Jackson at בעללאַטאָר 175, the king of Bellator’s “money-weight” division returns to meet Britain’s McGeary. Never one to shy away from a fight, the former STRIKEFORCE champion, has stepped inside the Bellator cage on 14 separate occasions and was also victorious during RIZIN’s first open-weight tournament in 2015.

 

Widely regarded as one of the top light heavyweights in the world, McGeary will enter his bout with Lawal looking to once again stake his claim on the division he once sat atop of.

BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD TITLE FIGHT BETWEEN EDUARDO DANTAS AND DARRION CALDWELL TO HEADLINE BELLATOR 184 אויף אקטאבער 6 AT WINSTAR WORLD CASINO AND RESORT

 

מער, FORMER BELLATOR FEATHERWEIGHT CHAMPION DANIEL STRAUS MEETS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ IN CO-MAIN EVENT

לאס אנדזשעלעס – Bellator returns to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, אָקלאַ. for the third time in 2017 אויף פרייַטיק, אָקטאָבער 6 פֿאַר בעללאַטאָר 184: Dantas vs. Caldwell.

די הויפּט געשעעניש פון בעללאַטאָר 184 will feature Bellator’s two-time bantamweight champion Eduardo דאַנטאַס (20-4) defending his belt against דאַרריאָן "דער וואלף" קאָלדוועל (10-1). דערצו, the co-feature pits former featherweight titleholder דניאל סטראַוס (24-7, 1 נק) competing against עממאַנועל "אל מאַטאַדאָר" סאַנטשעז (15-3). The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 פּ.ם. און/8 פּ.ם. קאָרט, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. טיקקעץ פֿאַר בעללאַטאָר 184: Dantas vs. Caldwell are on sale now and can be purchased at the WinStar World Casino and Resort box office, as well as Ticketmaster and Bellator.com. Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.

Originally, Dantas and Caldwell were scheduled to compete for the title at בעללאַטאָר 177; אָבער, when Caldwell was forced to withdraw due to injury, “Dudu” went on to defeat לעאַנדראָ היגאָ, besting his opponent on short notice. Hailing from Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, the flashy 27-year-old is widely known as one of the most dynamic competitors in the division, recording victories in 13 פון זיין לעצטע 15 ענדס. Currently in the midst of his second stint as Bellator’s bantamweight world champion, Dantas will look to stop Caldwell’s meteoric rise to the top of the 135-pound division.

Coming off a victory over Joe Taimanglo בייַ בעללאַטאָר 167, the 29-year-old Caldwell will be competing for promotional gold for the first time in his career on October 6. “The Wolf” was able to avenge his earlier loss to Taimanglo, earning his 10th career victory. Caldwell has collected five wins by way of first-round knockout or submission, making him one of the most dangerous competitors at 135-pounds. Hailing from Rahway, נ.דזש. and training alongside Bellator stars פיל דייוויס און דזשאַסטין לאָראַנס at Alliance MMA in San Diego, קאַליף., Caldwell has quickly put together an impressive professional resume inside the cage, highlighted by a remarkable first-round finish over former multi-division champion דזשאָו וואָראַן.

One half of some of the greatest fights to ever take place inside the Bellator cage, Daniel Straus returns to action following his featherweight title bout against Patricio “Pitbull” בייַ בעללאַטאָר 178 this past April. A longtime member of American Top Team in Coconut Creek, פלאַ., the 32-year-old will be competing for the second time in 2017. The two-time champion returns to action with redemption on his mind, as he looks to climb back up the 145-pound ranks and earn a shot for the title that he still considers to be his.

Since debuting with Bellator MMA in 2014, the 26-year-old Sanchez has gone about his business by taking on the top competitors that Bellator’s featherweight division has to offer, מלחמה פּאַט קורראַן, געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן, דזשאַסטין לאָראַנס און Marcos גאַלוואַאָ en route to his meeting with Straus at בעללאַטאָר 184. Proclaiming that he hopes to eventually become the “Oscar De La Hoya of MMA,” Sanchez is well on his way, earning six victories since 2015. Training at Roufusport in Milwaukee, Wis., “El Matador” trains alongside some of the world’s elite fighters, making his matchup with Straus that much more intriguing.

 

דערהייַנטיקט בעללאַטאָר 184: Dantas vs. Caldwell Fight Card:

Bantamweight World Title Main Event: Eduardo דאַנטאַס (20-4) ווס. דאַרריאָן קאָלדוועל (10-1)

Featherweight Co-Main Event: דניאל סטראַוס (24-7, 1 נק) ווס. עממאַנועל סאַנטשעז (15-3)
