Njokuani made his Bellator debut in the welterweight division with a decisive victory over Ricky Rainey in 2015. Од тада, “Chidi Bang Bang” has notched impressive wins over Melvin Guillard and Andre Fialho. The Las Vegas fighter later announced himself to the 185-pound weight class in emphatic fashion with a victory over Хисаки Като у Беллатор 189. Са 10 knockouts to his credit, the always-dangerous Njokuani looks to add another “W” to his record in November.

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. “Стварно, for me, 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 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.”

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, Скот Цокер, 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.”

TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS
САНТА МОНИКА, Цалиф (Нов. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, И Рут (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 ово петак у "Беллатор 168: Sakara vs. Белтран," о Нов. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4ПМ ЕТ/ПТ.
На само 26 година стар, 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), Тирелл Фортуне (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) као и Арон Пицо и 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, ПА, 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, Цалиф., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Јосх Косцхецк и Крис Хонеицутт, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Нов. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 у први круг.
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.
The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Алессио Сакара (18-11, 2 НЦ), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 НЦ) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, укључујући Јохн Салтер (12-3), Иамауцхи до (31-9) и Пхилипе Линс(10-1).
The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Денисе Киелхолтз (45-3) и Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Беллатор Кик бокс: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 НЦ) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Џо Шилинг (19-9) против Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) са Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), и Kevin Ross(31-9) ће се састати Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) у лаганом борби.
