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. Bare 27 år, 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 på Bellator 132 i januar. 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 opptredener. He’s at his most dangerous on the mat, where he’s earned a remarkable 15 av hans 18 career victories by way of submission.

Den 31 år gamle Schilling har kjempet profesjonelt siden 2006, starting his combat sports career in muay Thai, hvor han tok både US-. and world titles. Since he’s turned his focus to MMA, Schilling continues to compete in kickboxing events, så vel, jobber seg til GLORY s Last Man Standing turnering denne siste juni, konkurrerende tre ganger i en enkelt kveld. Schilling gjorde sin Bellator MMA debut i november, scoring en “Knockout of the Year” candidate stoppage of noted striker Melvin Manhoef.

 

A karate stylist who first made his name in Japan in the sport of Kudo – a hybrid version of MMA that involves fighting in a gi, gloves and a mask – the 32-year-old Kato will fight in the U.S. juni 26th for første gang. Kato’s transition in 2013 to traditional MMA rules has proven to be a rousing success, as he’s earned four knockout victories in his first five bouts. Three of those wins were earned in the first round, including an April 2014 victory that came in just 53 sekunder.
