LOS ANGELES – Bellator’s return to WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Okla. vineri, Iulie 12 will be headlined by a women’s featherweight title fight featuring Canada’s Julia Budd (12-2) defending her title for a third time against undefeated Olga Rubin (6-0) of Israel.

Fighting out of Port Moody, British Columbia, Canada, Budd is set to enter the Bellator cage for the first time in 2019 and for the third time since claiming the inaugural Bellator women’s featherweight world title in 2017. Currently riding a winning streak of 10 capete, including six straight since joining forces with Bellator in 2015, “The Jewel” has her eyes set on a third consecutive world title defense when she challenges the undefeated Rubin on July 12. Since knocking off Dutch legend Marloes Coenen for the 145-pound strap at Bellator 174, the Gibson MMA-product has since collected back-to-back victories over top contenders Arlene Blencowe și Talita Nogueira. With six of her 12 cariera victorii vine prin knock-out sau de depunere, the former kickboxing standout will look to hand Rubin the first loss of her professional career.



Making her fifth appearance since signing with Bellator in 2017, Rubin looks to protect her unblemished professional mark en route to her first career women’s featherweight world title on July 12. Following a pair of notable knockouts in her first two promotional appearances at Bellator 164 și Bellator 188, the 29-year-old prospect has bolstered her resume with dominating victories over the likes of Cindy Dandois and Iony Razafiarisonin each of her past two bouts. Now residing in Holon, Israel, Rubin splits her time training between Tel Aviv and London’s Team Titan under the tutelage of veteran Brad Pickett. “Big Bad” will look to become the first fighter to beat Budd in almost eight years and join a select group of women that includes just Ronda Rousey and Amanda Nunes, who have succeeded against the champ in the past.

În plus,, un concurs pentru femei cu greutatea pană între israelieni neînvinsi Olga Rubin (4-0) și veteran Cindy dandois (12-3) vor fi prezentate pe card.

 

 

 

Biletele sunt în vânzare acum și sunt disponibile la Eventim.co, precum Bellator.com. Evenimentul va fi difuzat vineri, Noiembrie. 16 la 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT pe Paramount Network și poate fi transmis și în flux pe DAZN.

 

 

 

Bellator a colaborat cu Ananey Communications, un conglomerat de televiziune israelian lăudându-se 14 canale, inclusiv canalele EGO și EGO TOTAL, care au difuzat Bellator în Israel de atunci 2012.

 

 

 

Provenind de la Natal, Brazilia, Patricio „Pitbull”, campion de două ori în greutate cu pană, va intra în cușca Bellator pentru un record promoțional a 20-a oară pe noi. 15. Cu 15 câștigă sub umbrela Bellator, „Pitbull” își va apăra al doilea titlu de la recuperarea titlului mondial la Bellator 178 împotriva Daniel Straus anul trecut. Cel mai recent, „Pitbull” învins Daniel Weichel, eliminându-și adversarul prin decizie divizată la Bellator 203 în Roma. După ce a câștigat un punct final în 20 sale 27 câștigă ca un profesionist, campionul în exercițiu a devenit sinonim cu emoție și fanii se pot aștepta cu siguranță la mai multe focuri de artificii atunci când intră în cușcă pe Nov. 15.

 

 

 

Sanchez a ieșit oficial de la perspectivă la concurent la titlu atunci când provoacă pentru titlul greutății cu pene la Tel Aviv. Spre deosebire de adversarul său, Sanchez se va regăsi pe teritoriul necunoscut pe noiembrie. 15, ca Milwaukee, în vârstă de 28 de ani, Wis.-luptătorul își va face prima apariție profesională în afara Statelor Unite. „El Matador” va căuta a 10-a victorie promoțională și a cincea victorie consecutivă, o dungă care a început în ianuarie anul trecut. Cu ultima sa înfrângere venind acum doi ani și cu victoriile recente asupra foștilor campioni Bellator Daniel Straus și Marcos Galvao, precum și Sam Sicilia, s-ar putea să nu existe un alt atlet pe lista lui Bellator care să merite o luptă pentru titlu decât produsul Roufusport Academy.

 

 

 

Un membru al echipei Renzo Gracie, Gozali revine în cușca Bellator pentru a cincea oară în cariera sa de 20 de ani. Luptătorul israelian se va lupta din nou cu Ryan Couture pe noiembrie. 15, în urma unui thriller în trei runde la Bellator 180 vara trecuta. Luptând din Bat Yam, Israel, „Batman” favorizează evenimentele pe gazon, marcând două victorii în prima rundă în fiecare dintre cele două lupte din Menora Mivtachim Arena. Acum, cu șapte din cele opt victorii ale sale din carieră venind prin supunere, fostul soldat al armatei israeliene speră să-și țină revanșa cu Couture din mâinile judecătorilor.

 

 

 

Couture pare să dubleze succesul pe care l-a avut în primul său meci cu Gozali, când a luat o decizie unanimă câștigă în interiorul Madison Square Garden în iunie anul trecut. Un veteran al UFC și STRIKEFORCE, Couture a apărut de șase ori în cușca Bellator și va face saltul înapoi la greutatea welter în speranța de a colecta cea de-a 12-a victorie a carierei sale. Membru al Xtreme Couture din Las Vegas, nativul din Seattle va căuta să joace rolul de spoiler pentru Gozali atunci când cele două revanșe din Tel Aviv.

 

 

 

Provenind din Harrisburg, Penn. Davis a obținut victorii impresionante asupra competiției de elită în timpul ilustrului său carieră de 10 ani, inclusiv victorii asupra celor de genul Lyoto Machida, "Regele Mo" Lawal, Liam McGeary și cel mai recent, Linton Vassellla Bellator 200 mai devreme anul asta. Luptând din San Diego, Calif. fostul luptător de patru ori NCAA Divizia-1 All-American din Universitatea Penn State deține un semn aproape impecabil de 6-1 în Bellator. "Dl. Minunat ”se antrenează alături de actualul campion Bellator cu greutate galantă Darrion Caldwell, Dominick Cruz și A. J. Matthews printre altele la Alliance MMA.

 

 

 

Luptând din Stary Oskol, Rusia, 26-Vadim Nemkov, un artist knockout în vârstă de un an, va face a treia apariție cu Bellator când îl va întâlni pe Davis. Un protejat al lui Bellator din categoria grea Fedor Emelianenko, Nemkov va căuta să construiască pe perechea sa de victorii la knockout, care include o victorie asupra fostului campion la categoria grea ușoară Liam McGeary la Bellator 194. Cu opt din cele nouă victorii ale sale în carieră, venind prin oprirea primei runde, fostul campion mondial Sambo nu pierde mult timp în cușcă. Abilitatea sa de a termina lupte va fi testată când îl va întâlni pe Davis, un atlet care încă nu a fost terminat în carieră.

 

 

 

Olga Rubin, femeie israeliană, cu pene, se întoarce în cușca Bellator pentru a treia oară pentru a-și pune linia neînvinsă pe linia din țara sa natală. Cu victoriile sale promoționale anterioare la Bellator 164 și Bellator 188 venind prin TKO, „Big Bad” și-a dezvoltat reputația ca unul dintre cei mai periculoși perspective din divizie. Acum este pregătită să se alăture veteranului UFC și Invicta FC Cindy Dandois, care deține cariera câștigă față de Marloes Coenen, Jorina Baars și Megan Anderson. Antrenament în Xtreme Couture din Las Vegas, „Battlecat” conduce în prezent o serie de victorii de patru lupte, care include o apariție victorioasă în RIZIN.

We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (Gracie) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 ani, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap.
