COMPLETE EVENT PHOTOS HERE - VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS HERE

FRESNO, Calif. (Juni 17, 2016) — It was a rematch over three years in the making, it was a fight that was scheduled, cancelled and re-scheduled, ochpå fredag vid “Bellator 156” inside Save Mart Center, Marcos Galvao (17-7-1) kontra Eduardo Dantas (18-4) was also a barnburner of a main event with the Bellator MMA Bantamweight Championship on the line.

Galvao, 33, walked into the arena with the belt in tow, riding high on his memorable victory at the expense of Joe Warren i 2015. But over the course of 25 minuter, Dantas put a halt to any momentum “Loro” had, peppering his former training partner’s left-eye with punches, until it swelled shut. Galvao tried valiantly to slow the pace of “Dudu” through grappling, but the 27-year-old did enough to earn the nod from the California State Athletic Commission judges and take back the belt that he claimed was his all along.

With the defeat, Galvao’s four-fight winning streak was snapped, while Dantas has now pieced together two consecutive victories. The Nova Uniao product will now set his sights on the winner of Darrion Caldwell mot Joe Taimanglo vid “Bellator 159,” a bout that will determine the new No. 1 contender for Dantas’ freshly won title.

Chidi Njokuani ‘Bang Bangs’ His Way to Knockout Victory

The co-main event of the evening featured contrasting styles, med Chidi Njokuani (15-4) looking to keep the fight at length and utilize his height and reach advantage, medan Thiago Jambo (18-5) worked hard to close the distance and compete on the inside. “Chidi Bang Bang” won out, cracking the gut of Jambo with a kick that folded the Brazilian to the mat. Njokuani pounced, landing left and right punches until referee Mike Beltran waved the fight off at2:39 av den sista rundan, giving the Las Vegas native a knockout win. After the scrap, the 28-year-old made his interview concise, telling the welterweight division: “anyone can get it.”

John Salter Taps Brandon Halsey via Triangle Choke

Throughout the lead up to Fredagens event in Fresno, Brandon Halsey (9-2) made it clear that fans watching would see a new and improved “Bull,” and while the former Fresno State Bulldog did demonstrate a new array of striking, det var John Salter (12-3) who stole the show. The 31-year-old Wilmington, N.C. resident caught Halsey on the mat with a triangle choke submission, forcing him to tap out after 4:03 i den första omgången. Keeping with the trend of his career thus far, every fight Salter has won has been via submission, furthering his claim for a shot at the promotion’s 185-pound belt.

Honeycutt Impresses Hometown Crowd in Middleweight Debut

In the opening main card contest of “Bellator 156: Galvao vs.. Dantas,” Fresno’s own Chris Honeycutt (8-1) välkomnade Mikkel Parlo (13-3) back to the Bellator MMA cage with a complete 15-minute performance, building upon the wrestling pedigree he’s known for with a newfound dynamic striking arsenal. Usually Parlo, a Danish fighter who had not competed for the Scott Coker-led promotion since 2014, gets the better of his opponents when the fight stays upright, men på fredag, det var “Den Cutt” who got the better of the punching exchanges. Till slut, it was the 27-year-old Honeycutt who walked away with a unanimous decision, pushing out his current winning streak to two bouts and improving to 4-1 under the Bellator umbrella.

KOMPLETT BELLATOR 150 BILDER HÄR

MULVANE, Kan. (Februari 26, 2015) – En vecka borta från det mest sedda Bellator MMA-evenemanget i företagets historia, den Scott Coker-ledda kampanjen återvände till action på SPIKE med "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz,” en händelse som levererade fem spektakulära huvudkortskamper.

 

I kvällens main event, Cheick Kongo (24-10-2) intelligent hanterade avståndet mellan han och Vinicius spartanen (8-4), sparkar och knackar sig fram till en seger med delat avgörande (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan hade sina stunder under tungviktsmötet, säkra nedtagningar i omgångarna två och tre, följt av en sen knockdown. Men i slutändan, Kongo fick fördelen av tvivel från de Kansas-utnämnda domarna. Fransmannen har nu vunnit två raka, och förbättrats till 6-2 totalt sett under Bellator MMA-fanan.

Det tog bara David Rickels (17-4) tre minuter och 49 sekunder till slut Bobby Cooper (12-6) inför en såld publik på Kansas Star Arena på fredag. Båda männen hade sina stunder under aktionen, men efter ett knä på kroppen tappade Cooper på knä, "The Caveman" slog sin fiende med hammarnevar tills domaren John McCarthy satte stopp för handlingen.

Kendall Grove (23-15) stoppad Francisco Frankrike (13-4-1) med ett elak slag 35 sekunder in i andra omgången, vinna på knockout. Segern var känslosam för "Da Spyder,” som nyligen förlorade sin bror och gjorde det klart att hans prestation var tillägnad hans avlidna syskon. Grove har nu vunnit tre av sina fyra senaste tilt, allt via finish.

Chuka Willis (7-2) handed Gaston Reyno (5-1) det första nederlaget i hans mixed martial arts-karriär på fredagen, vinner via enhälligt beslut (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). Skrotet gick fram och tillbaka under loppet av 15 minuter, med flera inlämningsförsök och knockdowns av båda männen. Men till slut – till stor glädje för partisanpubliken – fick Willis nicken.

Tidigare Shamrock FC flugviktsmästare Rebecca Ruth (6-1) besegrade Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) via enhälligt beslut (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) i den inledande huvudkortkampen kl "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz.” För "Ruthless" är vinsten den första i hennes karriär via domarnas resultatkort och förlängde hennes nuvarande segersvit till fyra raka.
