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.

A longtime friend and teammate of Hawaii’s own Ilima-Lei Macfarlane, “Girl-Rilla” finally has the opportunity to compete alongside Bellator women’s flyweight world champion in an already-stacked 125-pound division.



Carmouche’s promotional debut will take place early 2020 in the flyweight division, which is championed by her training partner, Ilima-lei Macfarlane, who headlines Bellator 236on DAZN tomorrow night in Honolulu, Hawaii.

JOSH BARNETT MAKES HIS BELLATOR DEBUT AGAINST RONNY MARKES IN HEAVYWEIGHT MAIN EVENT ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK



ENGLERNE - To honor the brave men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, Bellator MMA has once again partnered with the USO to present a special live event free for the troops, along with their friends and families, på fredag, December 20. Emanating from Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii, this unique show will be headlined by a heavyweight bout featuring the Bellator debuts of “The Warmaster” Josh Barnett (35-8) og Ronny markes (19-7).



For a second year, the USO and Bellator team up to honor the men and women who fight for our freedom and to bring entertainment and a piece of home to service members based in Hawaii during the holiday season. Dette Salute the Troops event will bring Bellator athletes and personalities to the military community and provide a live free event as a thank you for their sacrifices and dedication to our country, especially for those who are separated from family and home during the holidays. Much like last year, Bellator and the USO will also partner for a week of special events in Hawaii leading up to the big weekend of exciting fights on December 20 og 21.



As the leading military support organization, the USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. This holiday season, hundreds of thousands of service members will remain on duty, away from home. The USO, through its programs, services and entertainment tours, is committed to bringing a piece of home to our nation’s service men and women. MMA fans and military supporters can help keep troops strong and connected to home by visiting www.USO.org/Holidays and by using the hashtag #USOHolidays when sharing how they have helped the USO’s critical mission to make the holidays special for our military heroes.

The entire event will also stream on DAZN, while preliminary bouts will stream on Bellator.com and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. Details for exclusive ticket distribution will be announced in the coming days.



This unforgettable night will be part of an historic weekend culminating with the previously announced Bellator Hawaii: Macfarlane vs. Jackson på lørdag, December 21. This highly-anticipated fight card includes undefeated Bellator women’s flyweight champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane defending her title against Kate Jackson, og A.J. McKee at tage på Derek Fields in a quarterfinal matchup of the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix.





After signing with Bellator in April, former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett will make his return to MMA competition for the first time since 2016. A second-degree Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, Barnett has remained prevalent in the combat sports realm, competing in jiu-jitsu events, promoting and performing at his own professional wrestling shows and working as a color commentator for New Japan Pro Wrestling. Barnett is no stranger to the devoted MMA fanbase in Hawaii, fighting for regional Hawaiian promotion Superbrawl in 1999 og 2000, a stint that included three fights in one night to win the Superbrawl 13 heavyweight tournament. One of the top heavyweights of all-time, the Strikeforce, Pride, UFC, K-1, NJPW, Pancrase, and Affliction mainstay owns victories over legendary stars, including Dan Severn (2x), Semmy Schilt (2x), Randy Couture, Mark Hunt, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, Pedro Rizzo, Sergei Kharitonov, Frank Mir, Roy Nelson and Andrei Arlovski.



Fighting professionelt siden 2007, Ronny Markes will join the Bellator ranks following 26-fights all over the globe including three wins in UFC. Competing for a majority of his nearly 13-year career at middleweight, the 31-year-old will now lace up the gloves as a Bellator heavyweight. Hailing from Natal, Brasilien, Markes is coming off a TKO victory in June, and will add another big-name fighter to his list of opposition, a list that includes fights against Yoel Romero, Thiago Santos, Aaron Simpson and Paulo Filho.

UNDEFEATED ILIMA-LEI MACFARLANE RETURNS HOME TO HAWAII ON DEC. 21 FOR FLYWEIGHT TITLE DEFENSE AGAINST KATE JACKSON EXCLUSIVELY ON DAZN

Efterlad en kommentar
MERE, BELLATOR’S FEATHERWEIGHT WORLD GRAND PRIX CONTINUES AS UNDEFEATED A.J. MCKEE MEETS DEREK CAMPOS IN FIRST QUARTERFINAL MATCHUP

Tickets on sale next Friday, Oktober. 11



LOS ANGELES – For the second time in as many years, Neal S. Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii will host the homecoming of Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0), as she puts her undefeated record and Bellator women’s flyweight title on the line against No. 1 contender Kate Jackson (11-3-1) in the main event on Saturday, December. 21, streamed exclusively on the DAZN app.



Desuden, Bellator Hawaii will feature the first quarterfinal matchup of Bellator’s Featherweight World Grand Prix, when the man with the longest winning streak in promotional history, A.J. McKee (15-0), takes on the always-exciting Derek Fields (20-9) in the evening’s co-headliner.



Bellator: Macfarlane vs. Jackson – one of the star-powered, year-end highlights of fight season on DAZN – will stream live exclusively on DAZN på 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com, DAZN and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets go on sale next Friday, Oktober. 11 and can be purchased through Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com or the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena box office. Additional bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.



Born and raised in Honolulu, current Bellator women’s flyweight champ Macfarlane made her pro debut in 2015 with a KO victory that went viral and has not looked back since, remaining undefeated in her career. With impressive victories over Valerie Letourneau og Veta Arteaga, Macfarlane was the focal point of Bellator’s debut in Hawaii last year. A proud graduate of Honolulu’s Punahou High School in 2009, Macfarlane later attended San Diego State University, where she would go on to earn her Master’s degree in liberal arts and science with a focus on indigenous issues – a subject she remains passionate about, launching “The Ilimanator Scholarship” for indigenous girls last year. Now Ilima-Lei turns her focus to Kate Jackson, who will be looking to play the role of spoiler when she enters the Bellator cage on December 21.



A winner of seven of her last eight fights, Kate Jackson has earned her way to a title shot against the division’s inaugural champion. A competitor on the 23rd season of The Ultimate Fighter, Jackson hails from Lostwithiel, Cornwall, England, and most recently defeated Lena Ovchynnikova i London. Jackson made her Bellator debut in 2017 with a first round-victory over of Colleen Schneider and would later go on to dominate Anastasia Yankova at historic Bellator 200 in front of her hometown crowd. Facing the biggest test of her career, Jackson looks to reign atop the flyweight division when she leaves Hawaii.



With an undefeated professional record of 15-0, including six knockouts and eight first round finishes, there doesn’t seem to be much more for the talent-oozing 24-year-old to prove to the MMA community before his name is routinely mentioned among the division’s elite. Fighting out of Long Beach, Calif., “Mercenary” is fresh off of a jaw-dropping performance that saw him finish Georgi Karakhanyan in only eight seconds just moments after watching his father, Antonio McKee, collect a knockout victory in what was the first ever father-son duo to compete on the same card in the US. With all 15 of his career wins coming under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion, the Team BodyShop product has made it clear that he has his sights on Patricio “Pitbull” and his 145-pound belt, as he continues to build a strong argument as the new face of Bellator. Constantly looking for new records to break, McKee may have found the perfect match in Campos, as the two brawlers have combined for a remarkable 22 finishes over 36 karriere sejre.



Fighting out of Lubbock, Texas, Campos will be competing in the first of the four quarterfinal matchups in Bellator’s Featherweight World Grand Prix, following a decisive victory over former featherweight world champion Daniel Straus på Bellator 226 dette tidligere September. The 31-year-old knockout artist is ready to build on his impressive professional record of 20-9, when he takes on undefeated superstar McKee on December 21. Always ready to trade blows, the heavy-handed veteran has spent much of his time competing in Bellator’s lightweight and welterweight divisions over the past six years of his career. Nu, “The Stallion” hopes to continue his impressive surge in the 145-pound class, as he prepares to go toe-to-toe with one of the most dangerous featherweights in the world. With a shot at one million dollars on the line, Campos will rely on his fearless fighting style and sound wrestling background if he wants to advance in what many have pinned as one of the most anticipated matchups in the second round.

Flyweight World Title Bout: Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0) vs. Kate Jackson (11-3-1)

McDonald Quote: “I was happy with the performance. He ate some heavy punches. I hit him hard enough to break my right hand again, so he’s very durable and I expected that from him. I’ve seen him get put down and keep coming. He was very impressive, I’m honored to have fought him and he really stepped up to the occasion. I think that I have some pretty high accolades for a bantamweight, but I really have no idea how that stacks up to the other guys in my division. We will let this hand heal up and find out soon.”

 

Valerie Letourneau (9-6) besejret Kate Jackson (9-3-1) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Letourneau Quote: “I never feel like I’m doing enough. That’s the first thing I ask my coach: ‘Was it a good fight?’ I think experience has taught me to be patient in the fight and to fight smart. You always want to put on a show, but sometimes it can cost you the fight. I min sidste kamp, I didn’t do enough because I was too careful. I wanted to bring all that experience together and make the best of it.”

 

“This was a very important fight for me. Jeg er 34, my daughter’s a teenager now. I’ve sacrificed a lot of things for my career. But I want this Bellator belt so bad. It was really hard for me to watch Ilima Macfarlane and Emily Ducote fight for it first. I have so much respect for both of them, but I wanted to be the first one to fight for the title. Desværre, that didn’t happen but to me that’s the only thing I have on my mind right now. Ilima knows I want to fight her and she had a really good performance in her last fight. When it happens, I think it’s going to be a really good matchup. It’s going to be an exciting fight.”

Mohammad Yahya (4-1) besejret Ash Griffiths (4-5) via TKO at 3:26 af runde én

Yahya Quote: “This is what we trained for and we executed exactly as we planned. I was very confident in the opening round. I said that I was going to win in the first round by TKO and I did just that. It’s confidence, but this is also a product of hard work. I was training very hard for this and I executed. I knew that I had the best team in the world and we’re on to the next one now.”

 

Philip De Fries (14-6, 1 NC) def. James Thompson (20-17, 1 NC) via indsendelse (guillotine) på 1:33 af runde én

De Fries Quote: "Jeg føler stor, the less damage the better. I’m not getting any prettier. Hats off to James, he’s a legend. It’s a shame it was over so quick, it could have been a barn burner. But I’m happy. I want to climb the ladder here in Bellator. If there is an opening in this tournament, I’ll gladly step in. I feel great at the moment. Fighting is 90 percent mental and the first half of my career, I didn’t have the head for it. But now I’m putting everything together, I feel great and I’m performing. Jeg er klar, Jeg vil kæmpe nogen.

 

Jeremy Petley (12-8) def. Lewis Monarch (9-3) via split beslutning (29-28 x2, 27-30)

Petley Quote: “I was prepared to do the job and really demonstrate my skills. He put up a tough fight and made me work for it. I was prepared for a war, and that’s what he gave me so I had to dig deep. Lewis was a good opponent but I knew no matter what the situation or adversity, that I have a big heart, I have work ethic, a good skillset and a good corner behind me. I knew that no matter what happened, I would come out with the victory.”

 

“This is a fraction of my potential. Jeg vil have de store slagsmål, I want the Bellator title. I want to move up, I want to move forward and fight late in the night. I have what it takes, so I’ll take anybody. This was not the most convincing win, but no matter who I face, I can win. I don’t care who it is up against me, I can always find a way. I find a way to win. That’s what I do.”
