Since joining Bellator MMA in 2014, the German featherweight has posted a 5-1 rekord, proving time and time again that he belongs among the division’s elite. Of his 36 career wins, 21 har kommet i form av innlevering, making Weichel one of the most skilled athletes on the ground. The 31-year-old submission specialist will look to build off his deserving unanimous decision win against Karakhanyan at"Bellator 147: Thomson vs. Villaseca," as he prepares to take on “El Matador” inside Kansas Star Arena on Juli 22.

 

Sanchez also enters this contest having won five of his first six bouts under the Bellator MMA banner. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and training at the world-renown Roufusport camp, “El Matador” has recently put together an impressive run, claiming wins in nine of his last 10 kamper. The 25-year-old most recently defeated Daniel Pineda via split decision at the record-shattering "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie "event in Houston. Sanchez will enter the cage riding a three-fight winning streak, all of which subsequently ended in split decision victories.

 

På bare 30 år, Viana has impressed only nine fights into his professional career. Sist, Viana put his unique skillset on full display against Houston Alexander at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef," emerging victorious after a second-round knockout. The Brazilian light heavyweight now has seven career finishes to his name, including three in the first round, and will look to add to that total when he enters the cage with fellow Brazilian competitor Philipe Lins on Juli 22.

 

Hilsen fra Natal, Lins has consistently impressed through his first 10 profesjonelle bouts, recording nine wins, with four victories coming by way of knockout. After winning his first four professional fights, Lins decided to take an extended break from MMA from 2007 inntil 2011. After the hiatus, Lins rallied off five wins, including his first two bouts under the Bellator MMA umbrella.

Undefeated to start her professional career, Brown Ellen, 20, competed twice in 2015, winning both of her bouts. A member of Team Nogueira Campinas in Sao Paulo, Ellen recently did a stint of training at the world-renown Blackzilians gym in Florida, where she continued to hone her budding striking and skills on the mat. It’s also worth noting that Ellen’s listed on this year’s “Top-Ten Brazilian Prospects” compiled by MMAFighting.com.

 

Eight years the elder of Ellen, Middleton will be making her professional debut after a stellar 4-1 amateur record on the regional scene. If unfamiliar with her work, look no further than her spectacular finish of Holly Torrez via spinning-backfist her.
