Beskrivelse genereret automatisk med lav tillid
LONDON, UK – I dag, BELLATOR MMA har tilføjet flere eksplosive kampe BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP, finder sted på OVO Arena Wembley – tidligere kendt som The SSE Arena, Wembley – i London på fredag, Maj 13.

Med en elektrisk atmosfære forventes i London, fans vil blive behandlet med en læskende veltervægts-co-feature som tidligere mester og nr. 2-rangeret Douglas Lima (32-10) tager på nr. 3-rangeret Jason Jackson (15-4). Britisk fanfavorit Luke træner (5-0) vil se efter at få mest muligt ud af sin hjemmepublikumsfordel, når han møder Simon Biyong (7-2) i en let sværvægtskamp fyldt med knockout-potentiale.

Kampagnens spændende tilbagevenden til OVO Arena Wembley for BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP, ser hjemmefavorit nr. 1-rangeret Michael "Venom" Page (20-1) ser ud til at stjæle verdensmesterskabet i weltervægt fra den ubesejrede mester, Yaroslav Amosov. Den ukrainske, der er 26-0, vil sigte mod at forkæle festen i MVP’s egen baghave, og nægter londoneren en del af MMA-historien i processen.

Også bekræftet tidligere for, hvad der allerede tegner sig til at være et utroligt kort, er en fluevægtskamp for kvinder mellem nr.. 3-rangeret Denise Kielholtz (6-3) og nr. 4-rangeret Kana Watanabe (10-1-1) og en fjervægtskamp mellem nr. 8-rangeret Daniel Weichel (41-13) og Robert Whiteford (16-4).

BELLATOR LONDON: Amosov vs. MVP bliver sendt live i Storbritannien kl 9 p.m. GMT/4 kl. OG på BBC Three og BBC iPlayer, efter sidste uges annoncering af den store britiske udsendelsesaftale med BBC. SHOWTIME vil tv-sende kampen live i Amerika.

Billetter til arrangementet er til salg nu og kan købes online fra axs.com/dk og Bellator.com.

Douglas Lima er også indstillet på endnu et besøg i den engelske hovedstad, efter hans overskriftskamp mod MVP sidste år, med en tilbagevenden til vinderformen i tankerne på kendt territorium. Han tager imod Jason Jackson i, hvad der skal blive endnu et spændende sammenstød. Lima er en af ​​de mest erfarne kæmpere på Bellator-listen og vil håbe på at tilføje til hans 32 karriere sejre. Står i vejen for ham er den formidable udfordring fra "The Ass Kicking Machine", som optræder tro mod sit kaldenavn med fem sejre i træk. Jacksons seneste sejr var en overbevisende enstemmig beslutnings-triumf Paul Daley på Bellator 260 og han vil håbe på at fortsætte sin stærke professionelle rekord.

Efter en ødelæggende knockout-sejr over Yanick held og lykke i sin hidtil største test hos Bellator 267 i London sidste år, Luke Trainer vil forsøge at udvide sin ubesejrede professionelle rekord til seks kampe, når "The Gent" tager imod Simon Biyong. Med begge kæmpere i besiddelse af ægte knockout-kraft, Camerouneren vil håbe på at komme på toppen i de slående meningsudvekslinger og bringe en partisanskare til tavshed. Træner vender tilbage til hjemmebane for at fortsætte sin rejse som en af ​​Bellators hurtigst stigende stjerner efter en eksplosiv præstation sidste time-out.

Ud over de førnævnte kampe, Londoner Alfie "Øksemanden" Davis (14-4) er også indstillet på at få et hjem, når han tager på landsmand Tim "The Experiment" Wilde (14-4) i en let indledende kamp. Parret skulle mødes 2020 men vil støde sammen foran deres trofaste hjem i et hjemligt sammenstød, der helt sikkert vil fange opmærksomheden hos engelske kampfans. "The Axe Man" vil søge efter den form, der fik ham til at gå fire kampe ubesejret forud for et enstemmigt beslutningstab sidste gang på Bellator 259. Wilde vil dog ikke være i imødekommende humør, da han sigter mod at samle tre sejre i træk for første gang i sin Bellator-karriere.

Der er et andet engelsk talent på udstilling i kvindernes fluevægtsdivision som tidligere titeludfordrer Kate Jackson (11-5-1) tager imod græsk atlet Elina "Gunner" Kallionidou (8-4). Jackson vil blive bakket op hele vejen af ​​tilskuerne i London, men står over for en modstander, der vandt ved sin sidste optræden på Wembley med en sejr i første runde på Bellator. 267.

Tim Johnson BELLATOR Heavyweight

“I’m counting this as a title, I’ll let everyone else put interim in front of it. Moldavsky is a championship level fighter and so am I, so in my eyes this fight is to become the best heavyweight in the division.”

“It was easy to focus on his gameplan because it is the exact same thing I do. We both are strong wrestlers and have heavy ground and pound. I guess we are going to have see who does it better on Friday.”

“My resurgence in my career comes from me not doubting myself. I lost a few in a row and it was an easy excuse to quit and doubt myself, but I didn’t, and I was able to rip off three in a row and put myself in a position to win a title.”

Valentin Moldavsky BELLATOR Heavyweight

“Yes, there are some similarities between me and Tim. My style is a little different, selv, I like to take people down and finish them there.”

“Now that this is a title fight, I understand that there is more on the line, but this is just another fight for me. I plan to do what I always do and that is fight my fight and come out with a victory.”

“It is an honor to train with Fedor and represent his team.”

“His wrestling is not better than mine, and my sambo is going to be more impactful than his wrestling.’

Liz Carmouche BELLATOR Women’s Flyweight

“I plan to get a dominant finish and earn a title shot. I don’t think either of us want this to go to a decision. Weather it be me knocking her out, cutting her open or ground and pound, I plan to finish this fight in a dominating fashion.”

“It is really exciting to fight in front of the fans and feel that energy again. Walking in and walking out is where you feel it, but when I step foot in the cage it is just me and my opponent.”

“This has nothing to do with Kana and her record. I have to put on a dominant performance and show why I deserve to be the champion in this division. When I got to Bellator, I wanted to climb all the way up the rankings, and that is what I have done and plan on continuing to do.”

“Without giving too much away I see a lot of possibilities here. I see a lot of disabilities in her game that I can capitalize on that will enhance my game. This will allow me to put on a great performance and finish her.”

“If I have a positive showing Friday, then I believe I deserve a shot at the title.”

“Liz is one of the biggest names I have ever fought, but this does not change my mindset or make me feel pressure. I am honored to fight Liz and can’t wait to step foot in the cage with her.”

“I credit my toughness for this two-fight win streak. I continue to show up and work hard. When I was on that three-fight losing streak, I did not allow for myself to get down. After Friday I will be on a three-fight win streak and in a great spot for a shot at the title, and I credit my toughness and resilience for that.”

Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Lightweight

“I have improved in every way possible. Jury is just another guy who breathes air, so I have nothing to worry about.”

“Fighting guys like Michael Chandler have helped me, but at the end of the day it is me vs. mig. I am confident, and that has translated to every other aspect of my life. I am prepared for this fight and am going to put on a show.”

“Just because he has more fights doesn’t mean he has mystical powers. I train with some very tough people, and I am a veteran myself. I have a lot of confidence in myself and don’t see him doing anything that will shock me when we step in the cage.”

A featherweight fight featuring former title challenger No. 5 rangeret Daniel Weichel (40-12) against Hawaii’s undefeated Keoni Diggs (9-0) and a light heavyweight re-booking between No. 10 rangeret Christian Edwards (4-0) og Ben Parrish (4-1) have also been confirmed for the main card.

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the cage. I plan to end this fight with a dominant finish that stamps my name as the top contender for the belt,” Carmouche said.

Undefeated through 11 professionelle kampe, Japan’s Watanabe steps into the BELLATOR MMA cage for the third time in as many years. Med frying-pan-bending styrke, the 32-year-old judoka boasts an impressive 60% finishing rate and has bested fellow BELLATOR flyweights Alejandra Lara and Ilara Joanne since joining the promotion’s ranks. Nr. 3 ranked flyweight is looking to make a statement of her own and stake her claim to a shot at BELLATOR’s coveted 125-pound championship.

“I am very grateful to be given another opportunity to fight during these hard times. Liz Carmouche has tons of experience and has constantly been fighting the best which makes her without a doubt one of the best in the world,” Watanabe said. “I fully respect her in every aspect and am truly honored to face such an athlete. Med det er sagt, I am excited to take on this challenge to prove to everybody and myself that I have what it takes to become the best in the world. I want to win this fight in a convincing way, to open up the doors for a title challenge shot.”
