An 11-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Awad is currently in the midst of his second stint with the Scott Coker-led promotion, posting a 7-4 mark since making his promotional debut in 2009. Awad hopes to build off his impressive win over Brazilian standoutEvangelista “Cyborg” na "Bellator 154: Davis vs. Král Mo," where “Assassin” was able to escape Santos’ ferocious ankle lock submission attempt and emerge victorious with a series of pummeling blows. Now the 33-year-old San Bernardino, Kalif. native will look to put his unique skillset on full display in front of his friends and family when he enters the cage in Anaheim, Kalif.
Podobně jako jeho soupeř, Anderson was able to make a name for himself early in his professional career, exploding out of the gate with victories in 11 o jeho první 12 konce. During his Bellator MMA debut in 2013, “Barbaric” earned a win over the savvy veteranPatricky “Pitbull.” Since then, the 26-year-old Anderson has made five more appearances under the promotion’s direction, including a second victory over the elder “Pitbull” brother. Also hailing from the Southern California area, Anderson expects to have a large hometown following of his own in attendance on Srpen 26.
Joey Davis is a 21-year-old standout wrestler, who competed at Notre Dame College where he accumulated an incredible undefeated 131-0 record and four consecutive NCAA Division II Championships, stal se jediným zápasníkem divize II, který kdy vyhrál čtyři národní tituly a zůstal v kariéře neporažen. The most recent signing of Bellator’s “New Breed,” a group of top wrestling products that the promotion has signed including Aaron Pico, A Ruth, Jarod Trice a Terrell Fortune, will be the first to make his promotional debut. Davis trains at Antonio McKee’s “Body Shop Gym” alongside other “Bellator 160” competitors A.J. McKee, Bubba Jenkins and “Baby Slice.”
V dubnu podepsal vývojovou smlouvu, Ferguson Jr., also known as “Baby Slice” will anchor the Bellator.com-streamed preliminary card along with Davis, his aforementioned “Body Shop Gym” teammate. In an eerily similar storyline to the hit-movie “Creed,” the son of the late, skvělý „Kimbo plátek,” quietly broke onto the scene earlier this year in an amateur bout that played out in Western Massachusetts, kde právě dosáhl vyřazovacího vítězství 83 sekund do prvního kola. Reportér MMA Chuck Mindenhall byl na místě pokrýt příběh.
