Com mais 40 career fights (one MMA bout) under her belt, the 27-year-old Kielholtz will be searching for her 45th professional victory when she prepares to take on Gloria Peritore em Junho 24 em St. Louis.

Junho 5, 2016 FNU47 Deixe um comentário

SANTA MONICA, CALIFÓRNIA. (Junho 3, 2016) – A featherweight bout pitting Justin Lawrence (8-3) contra Isao Kobayashi (18-3) will anchor the preliminary portion of "Bellator: Dinamite 2" em junho 24 at Scottrade Center in St. Louis.

The bout joins a main event that features a heavyweight bout between Jackson “Rampage” (36-11) e Satoshi Ishii (14-5-1) in “Rampage’s” first fight for the Scott Coker-led promotion since 2014. The evening’s co-main event will feature a lightweight world championship fight between former titlist Michael Chandler (14-3) e Patricky "Pitbull" (16-7). Also the main card, former NFL player Matt Mitrione (9-5) makes his debut for Bellator MMA against Carl “Badwater” Seumanutafa (10-6). Rounding out the main card action, invicto Ilima Macfarlane (3-0) vai enfrentar Rebecca Ruth (6-1) em um concurso flyweight.

Os ingressos para "Bellator: Dynamite 2” começam em apenas $30 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster.com and the Ford Box Office at Scottrade Center. Portas para o evento aberto ao 5 p.m. CT hora local, and the first bout is scheduled to take place one hour after.

Exactly like the groundbreaking inaugural “Dynamite” event this past September in San Jose, both a mixed martial arts cage and kickboxing ring will cover the floor at Scottrade Center, giving fans in attendance the opportunity to see both iterations of combat sports on the same night. A portion of the preliminary action on Junho 24 will take place simultaneously, allowing those in attendance to witness MMA and kickboxing with a simple swivel of the head.

A native of Missouri, Justin “The American Kid” Lawrence will put his 8-3 career mark on the line when he challenges Isao Kobayashi in front of his hometown fans at "Bellator: Dynamite 2.” The 25-year-old budding star has won four of his last five bouts, including a first round knockout in his Bellator MMA debut against Sean Wilson at "Bellator 138: Unfinished Business.” Lawrence began his professional career under the Strikeforce umbrella, before a brief stint on “The Ultimate Fighter” reality show and now has his eyes set on truly making a splash in the always-competitive Bellator MMA featherweight division.

After going undefeated through his first eight fights as a professional, Kobayashi has put together an impressive resume with an overall record of 18-3, and eight wins coming by way of knockout. Following seven with the Pancrase promotion, the 27-year-old will enter the cage for the second time under the Bellator MMA banner and first time since October of last year. The Japanese featherweight has been known to extend fights and outlast opponents with his phenomenal endurance. Each of his last eight fights have made their way to the third round, with six of those eight going the distance. After recording a streak of 12 consecutive fights without a loss over a four-year period (2010-14), Kobayashi will look to kick off yet another long string of success when he takes on Justin Lawrence on Junho 24.
