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.

IN ADDITION: KERI MELENDEZ-SARAH HOWELL SHOWDOWN COMPLETES DYNAMIC BELLATOR KICKBOXING CARD

Santa Monica, CALIF. (Juni 14, 2016) – The SPIKE-televised "Bellator Kickboxing: St. Louis" event on June 24 at Scottrade Center is now complete, with the addition of two fights featuring Bellator Kickboxers Raymond Daniels (11-3) og Keri Melendez (3-1), der vil tage på Stefano Bruno (23-2-1) og Sarah Howell (debut) henholdsvis.

 

The fights join a main event that features a middleweight rematch between Joe Schilling (27-8) og Hisaki Kato (6-2), who initially competed against one another in a mixed martial arts contest that saw Kato get the better of the kickboxing ace with a “Knockout of the Year” winning superman punch.

 

"Bellator Kickboxing: St. Louis” will air immediately following the highly anticipated “Bellator: Dynamite 2” event LIVE and FREE on Spike at 11 p.m. OG/10 p.m. CT. Tickets for the double feature event start at just $30 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and the at Scottrade Center Box Office.

 

A native of California, Daniels is one of the most widely known kickboxers in America, having made a splash as both and amateur and professional. “The Real Deal” went 17-0 som amatør, med ni knockouts, finishing all 17 bouts in the first round. Daniels made his professional debut in 2007, winning each of his first four fights, three of which ended in knockouts for the 36-year-old welterweight. Daniels was also a competitor at Bellator’s inaugural "Bellator Kickboxing: Torino " event in Italy this year, earning his first career victory with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The win was the eighth of his professional career and it came spectacularly 30 sekunder inde i første runde, giving him five first-round knockouts in total.

 

With a stellar record of 23-2-1, Italian kickboxer Stefano Bruno will have his hands full when he steps into the ring with Daniels on the 24th of June. One half of what many kickboxing pundits considered the fight of the year in 2015 against Hosam Radwan, Bruno has competed all around the globe and has truly made a name for himself in the welterweight division.

 

The queen of the infamous Skrap Pack in Northern California, Melendez made her first appearance with Bellator during the kickboxing portion of "Bellator: Dynamite 1, " recording a unanimous decision victory over Hadley Griffith in front of her home town faithful. Melendez tallied a 4-1 amateur mark before taking her talents to the professional circuit, hvor hun i øjeblikket indtager en 3-1 kickboxing rekord. The 32-year-old flyweight will look to build off her impressive debut last year, when she takes on Sarah Howell in the kickboxing portion of Bellator’s “Dynamite 2” på Juni 24 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

 

Making your professional debut in anything is an arduous task, but making your debut against Melendez will be tougher than usual for Howell, who comes into the fight with no pro experience. Hailing from Washington – which coincidentally was the homestate of Melendez’s last opponent — the proud mother has been documenting her road to “Dynamite 2” through her blog, which can be found her.

During his 53-fight career, he has collected the WBC Muay-Thai USA welterweight title, the WBC Muay-Thai International Super-lightweight title and the Lion Fight Super Lightweight Championship. Known also as “The Soul Assassin,” Ross is working on a transition into the sport of MMA and most recently made his promotional debut at the inaugural “Bellator 152”Kickboxing event in Torino, Italy where he defeated Matteo Taccini via enstemmig afgørelse.

 

Houghton, who hails from Michigan, has competed previously for Bellator, but on the mixed martial arts side of things. “J-Ho” most recently laced up the kickboxing gloves against Alfredo Corona, at a regional event in Denver, defeating his opponent via lopsided unanimous decision.
