Middleweight Championship Rematch mellem Rafael Carvalho og Melvin Manhoef til overskriften MMA -del af 'Bellator 168'

Den italienske kickboxing -ikon Giorgio PetroSyan tager Jordan Watson i Bellator Kickboxing letvægtskamp

Santa Monica, CALIF (Oktober 7, 2016) -Bellator MMA vender tilbage til Italien med en anden actionfyldt combo-begivenhed på December. 10 Fra Mandela Forum i Firenze, Med både Bellator MMA og Bellator Kickboxing -mærker. Den Scott Coker-ledede forfremmelse annoncerede i dag MMA-delens hovedbegivenhed, som vil indeholde Rafael Carvalho (13-1) og Melvin Manhoef (30-13-1, 2 NC) I en ny kamp for Carvalhos mesterskab på 185 pund. I mellemtiden, "Bellator Kickboxing: Firenze ” har tilføjet en letvægts matchup mellem italiensk superstjerne -angriber Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) og britisk kickboxing -mester Jordan Watson (48-11-2).

 

Begivenheden med blandet kampsport vil også prale af Italiens mest populære og elskede blandede kampsportkunstner, Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), der påtager sig mexicansk-amerikansk slugger Joey Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) I en let tungvægt matchup.

 

Nøjagtige udsendelsesoplysninger til "Bellator 168: Carvalho vs. Manhoef 2 ” og "Bellator Kickboxing: Firenze ” vil blive afsløret snart.

 

Bellator Kickboxing -kortet har også en forventet kvindelig flyvevægt igen mellem hollandske slående ess Denise Kielholtz (45-3) Og kvinden, der besejrede hende i sidste år juni, Gloria -ekspert (11-1-1) Til det indledende Bellator kickboxing flyvevægt verdensmesterskab. Derudover, Andre Bellator -superstjerner Raymond Daniels, Kevin Ross og Joe Schilling vil sandsynligvis også konkurrere på kortet mod modstandere, der skal navngives senere.

 

Hvis du spørger både Carvalho og Manhoef, De to første møde gik ikke som planlagt til nogen af parterne. Den vigtigste begivenhed for “Bellator 155” så begge mænd gå tå til tå for 25 Minutter før de tre dommere trak en delt beslutning til fordel for den nuværende mester; en dom, som mange anså for kontroversiel. Nu, Næsten syv måneder efter deres første møde, paret af konkurrenter mødes igen.

 

Carvalhos anden runde kropssparkknockout af Brandon Halsey på "Bellator 144: Halsey vs. Carvalho " var den tredje største oddsmaker forstyrret i 2015, og var den kamp, der tjente det guld, han bærer omkring hans talje i dag. 30-åringen får sin femte optræden under Bellator MMA-banneren og ser ud til at udvide sin nuværende vindende streg til 14-bouts.

 

Med en genoptagelse af knockouts så voldelige som Manhoef, Det er ingen overraskelse, at den hollandske konkurrent har tjent kaldenavnet "No Mercy." Kendt for sin nådeløse slående stil, Den tidligere K-1 og Strikeforce-konkurrent finder sig igen i stand til at gøre krav på Bellator 185-pund MMA-titel, og har endnu yderligere incitament til at forlade dommerne 'ude af det.

 

Andet omtalt af hans fans som ”lægen,”Petrosyan er en mand, du ikke ønsker en aftale med. Den øverste rangerede armensk-italienske slår ess vil debutere med den spirende Bellator kickboxing-kampagne, når han kvadrerer mod Watson på 10 December. Træning sammen med sin bror Armen, Den 30-årige Southpaw sammensatte en utrolig 42-kamps ubesejret række, Dyrkning af en omfattende trofæ -sag, der inkluderer flere mesterskabsbælter såvel som "Årets Kickboxer" Accolades i begge 2011 (Bloodyelbow.com) og 2012 (Liverkick.com).

 

Når du konkurrerer i den lette division i kickboxing -verdenen, Bortset fra at stræbe efter at tjene titlen, Du kigger også mod en kamp med nr. 1 Kickboxer i verden i Petrosyan. En ISKA-verdensmester og K-1 UK Runner Up, Watson får den chance, når han mødes “Lægen” på “Bellator Kickboxing: Firenze.” Det vil være interessant at se, hvilken spilplan den britiske angriber beder om, når han møder sin modstander - men hvis hans kaldenavn 'Quadzilla' er nogen indikation, 28-åringen vil bruge sine spark til at holde den onde slående af Petrosyan i skak. Træning i vid udstrækning rundt om i verden, Watson har også tilbragt en god tid i Muay Thai -scenen, påløber en evne til finish (21) undervejs. Sejrrig i sin ensomme 2016 kamp, Watson håber at svæve ind i 2017 med en sejr mod uden tvivl den største kickbokser i verden under bæltet.
