Royce Gracie

Vardas Gracie yra tapatinama su MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, a man who is considered to have invented the sport as we know it today. Iš pirmųjų kelių UFC renginių nugalėtojas, Gracie būtų išardyti kelis priešininkus per vieną naktį, daugelis iš jų buvo daug didesnis nei jam. For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight. Šiandien, it’s hard to find an MMA fighter who hasn’t 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 that remain intact to this day.

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

With an incredible resume highlighted by wins over four members of the legendary Gracie family, including Royler, Renzo, Ryan, and Royce Gracie, Sakuraba has inherited the nickname “The Gracie Hunter.” The Japanese mixed martial artist is especially remembered for his first clash with Royce, a ninety-minute marathon that ended in a TKO (kampinis sustojimas) victory for Sakuraba nearly 17 prieš keletą metų. Gracie would later avenge his loss, earning a unanimous decision win over Sakuraba at “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" inside the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Dabar, almost a decade later, the two legends meet again and Bellator MMA is giving you the chance to be there when it happens!

 

Mattas Mitrione

Matt Mitrione originally took his talents to the football gridiron, signing as an undrafted free agent with the New York Giants in 2002. After brief stints with the San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione entered the MMA cage and hasn’t looked back since. The 14-time UFC veteran began his professional career with victories in his first five fights, four of which came by way of knockout. Known as one of the top finishers in the sport, the 37-year-old Indianapolis native recently finished his run with his former employer, making the decision to test free agency. Mitrione will now look to duplicate the success that he found throughout his career, kai jis atitinka Fiodoras Emelianenko in San Jose this February.
