PAŘÍŽ, FRANCE – Two iconic mixed martial artists with an undeniable track record of thrilling performances will square up as Yoel Romero (13-6) bere na Melvin Manhoef (32-15-1, 2 NC) in the co-main event of BELLATOR MMA’s return to Paris’ Accor Arena on Friday, Květen 6. BELLATOR PARIS: Bader vs. Kongo 2 will be televised live in America on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. CEST/4 p.m. A.

With mixed martial arts becoming legalized in France in 2020, BELLATOR became the first promotion to hold a major MMA event with Bellator 248 in October of that year. The success of that historic card propelled BELLATOR to make a return to “The City of Lights” in 2022 in a big way with a main event featuring undisputed BELLATOR MMA Heavyweight Champion, Ryan Bader (29-7, 1 NC) defending his crown in enemy territory against hometown favorite and No. 2-ranked heavyweight Cheick Kongo (31-11-2, 1 NC).

In addition to the main and co-main event, a lightweight tilt pitting the last man to defeat media darling Paddy Pimblett, Søren Bak (15-1) against England’s Saul Rogers (15-4) is also official. Bak has only tasted defeat once in his 16 professional fights and held both the featherweight and lightweight titles in Cage Warriors before joining the BELLATOR roster. Fighting out of Denmark, “The True Viking” is riding a seven-fight win streak into battle against the SBG Manchester product, Rogers. Known as “The Hangman,” Rogers also has amassed 15 victories on his resume including wins over Artem Lobov, Ryan Hall and Georgi Karakhanyan.

The preliminary card is guaranteed to feature a showcase of French talent and has begun to take shape with the return of Yves Landu (16-9), who takes on Liverpool’s Gavin Hughes (10-2) in a lightweight affair. Preliminary card action will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV beginning at 6:30 p.m. CEST/12:30 p.m. A.
Tickets for the fight are on sale now at accorarena.com a bellator.fr. Follow Bellator France on Instagram @BellatorFrance and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BellatorFrance/

Boj z Miami, Florida, Romero will be making his second BELLATOR appearance on May 6 v Paříži. Following a seven-year stint under the direction of the UFC, the American Top Team-product became one of the most sought-after free agents prior to signing with the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2020. S 11 z jeho 13 vítězství v kariéře vyřazením, včetně čtyř z prvního kola odrůdy, “Soldier of God” possesses the type of knockout power that can force any opponent into submission. A three-time World Cup Freestyle Wrestling Champion, five-time Pan-American Freestyle Wrestling Champion, a 2000 Olympics Freestyle Wrestling Silver Medalist, the Cuban-born Romero has continuously showcased his elite talents at the highest level of competition. The only missing trophy to a near-flawless legacy is a BELLATOR world title.

Making his tenth appearance for BELLATOR MMA, Dutch superstar Melvin “No Mercy” Manhoef has put together an impressive resume throughout his illustrious career in multiple combat sports disciplines that has seen him finish 29 z jeho 32 MMA victims via knockout, počítaje v to 26 v prvním kole a osm v úvodní minutě akce. Rodák z Amsterdamu, Nizozemsko, the ageless wonder and No. 10-ranked BELLATOR light heavyweight will now look to add to a trio of impressive knockouts that he’s collected since joining the promotion back in 2014.

MASIVNÍ AKCE AIRS ŽIVĚ VE SPORTOVNÍ SÍTI CBS ČTVRTEK, Listopadu. 5

ANDĚLÉ - Bellator MMA je ve čtvrtek zpět v hlavním vysílacím čase, Listopad. 5 s kartou označenou vzrušující bitvou s jednou z nejnovějších akvizic volných hráčů v této akci Corey Anderson (13-5), , který zažije svůj velmi očekávaný debut Bellatoru proti holandské legendě bojových sportů Melvin Manhoef (32-14-1, 2 NC) ve složené lehké těžké váze. Akce vychází z Mohegan Sun Arena v Uncasville, Conn., kde Bellator pořádá všechny své domácí přehlídky od návratu propagace k živým akcím.

Legendární holandský bojovník Melvin Manhoef je jedním z nejobávanějších a nejnásilnějších specialistů na bojové sporty. S 29 z jeho 32 vítězství v kariéře vyřazením, „No Mercy“ se může pochlubit jednou z nejvyšších procentních vyřazovacích procent všech bojovníků MMA 15 vítězství.

Po skládání dohromady dvě po sobě jdoucí vítězství, včetně TKO přes Yannick Bahati při jeho posledním výletu, Manhoef vypadá, že zkazí hodně vychvalovaný Bellatorův debut Andersona v hlavní události roku Bellator 251.

Rockford, Illinois Corey Anderson se minulý rok v srpnu připojil k Bellatorově divizi lehké těžké váhy poté, co se rozhodl opustit UFC.

Před zdokonalením své MMA pod světoznámým esem BJJ Ricardo Almeida, 31letý muž se stal dvojnásobným americkým zápasníkem NCAA a získal titul v oboru obchodní administrativy na University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. „Přesčas“ bude vypadat, že vystoupá na vrchol přeplněné třídy Bellator v těžké váze, která zahrnuje šampiona Vadim Nemkov, Phil Davis, Ryan Bader, Lyoto Machida, nováček Christian Edwards a bývalý šampion LFA Alex Polizzi.

Denise Kielholtz Quote: “It was a good night for me with the win, but it was tough fight. She’s a taller southpaw fighter and she really brought it. All rounds were for me and that’s the most important thing for me. It’s great to retain this belt, this is my biggest prize in the sport and I’m honored to be the world champion for Bellator,” Kielholtz said. “Opravdu, pro mě, Bellator is the biggest kickboxing organization in the world, they are really for the fighters, so I am very happy to be representing this company. The next time you see me out there might be in the Bellator cage fighting MMA. We’re working very hard on all aspects of my training and so hopefully before the end of summer you will see me fighting MMA.”

John Wayne Parr (96-32) def. Nando Calzetta (45-10) via Head Kick at 2:59 of Round 2

John Wayne Parr Quote: “He was tough, he came to fight. He wanted to mix and trade but I was more than happy to do that with the hands. I thought I was a little bit sharper, but he had a crack – he had a good go and hopefully it was entertaining for the crowd,” John Wayne Parr said. “Before this fight I really wanted to do something impressive and get an impressive finish so to score a head kick knockout is like a slam dunk. I feel like Michael Jordan right now. I’ve been watching Bellator and I just want to be a star here and hopefully tonight is gonna put that notch in my belt and help me fulfill that dream.”

Gaston Bolanos Quote: “I came into someone’s home town tonight, and the guy had a lot more experience in kickboxing than I do, so I’m quite happy with the win. It’s a different rhythm out there. I’m used to Muay-Thai, which I’ve been practicing my whole life. I’ve done a few fights without elbows even though it’s still Muay-Thai so it’s a bit different from what I just did tonight. I just came from an MMA fight so I had to switch up my whole camp but this is what I want to do and this is the opportunity that Bellator has provided for me, so I’m going to take it and stay as busy as possible,” Bolanos said. “I want to thank Bellator, Scott Coker, my coach Kirian Fitzgibbons and my team at CSA Gym for helping me and giving me all the opportunities that I’ve been given in my career. I’m hoping to get another MMA fight in here soon and develop a rhythm there. I want to become the biggest star in both sports and I know that I’ve got the opportunity and the talent to do just that.”

SANTA MONICA, KALIFORNIE (Prosince. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, A Ruth (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place tento pátek na "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," na Prosince. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

At pouze 26 let, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) jakož i Aaron Pico a Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck a Chris Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Listopad. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 do prvního kola.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.
