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, Райан Бадер (29-7, 1 Північна Кароліна) defending his crown in enemy territory against hometown favorite and No. 2-у важкій вазі Шейх Конго (31-11-2, 1 Північна Кароліна).

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.

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. З 11 з його 13 career victories coming by way of knockout, including four of the first-round variety, “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, і 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 з його 32 MMA victims via knockout, у тому числі 26 у першому раунді та вісім у першій хвилині дії.

MASSIVE EVENT AIRS LIVE ON CBS SPORTS NETWORK THURSDAY, Листопад. 5

АНГЕЛИ - Bellator MMA is back in primetime on Thursday, Листопад. 5 with a card headlined by an exciting battle featuring one of the promotion’s newest free agent acquisitions in Corey Anderson (13-5), who will make his highly anticipated Bellator debut against Dutch combat sports legend Мелвін Манхуф (32-14-1, 2 Північна Кароліна) in the stacked light heavyweight division. The action emanates from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn., where Bellator has held all its domestic shows since the promotion’s return to live events.

CBS Sports Network транслюватиметься Bellator 251: Манхуф проти. Андерсон НА ЖИТТІ в усіх США. ринки, тоді як попередні матчі транслюватимуться на CBSSports.com та YouTube-каналі Bellator MMA. Додаткові поєдинки будуть оголошені пізніше.

Legendary Dutch fighter Melvin Manhoef is one of the most feared and violent striking specialists in all of combat sports. З 29 з його 32 career victories coming by way of knockout, “No Mercy” boasts one of the highest knockout percentage rates of any MMA fighter with at least 15 перемоги. Manhoef has collected victories over iconic names in the sport, including Mark Hunt and Kazushi Sakuraba, throughout an illustrious career dating back to 1995, when he earned the first of many knockout victories at only 18 years of old. After stacking together two consecutive victories, including a TKO over Yannick Bahati in his last outing, Manhoef looks to spoil the much-hyped Bellator debut of Anderson in the main event of Bellator 251.

Rockford, Illinois’ Corey Anderson joined Bellator’s light heavyweight division this past August after opting to depart the UFC. The winner of Ultimate Fighter сезон 19 was ranked fourth in the UFC’s 205-pound division at the time of his departure, having defeated top opponents, including current champion Jan Blachowicz, Johnny Walker, Ilir Latifi and Glover Teixeira. Prior to honing his MMA under world-renowned BJJ ace Ricardo Almeida, the 31-year-old became a two-time NCAA All-American wrestler and earned his degree in business administration from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. “Overtime” will look to ascend to the top of a crowded Bellator light heavyweight class that includes champion Вадим Немков, Філ Девіс, Райан Бадер, Мачіда, новачок Крістіан Едвардс and former LFA champ Алекс Поліцці.

Деніз Кільгольц (46-3) defeated Martine Michieletto (18-11-3) via Unanimous Decision (50-45, 49-46, 49-46)

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. “Дійсно, 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 (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.”

Mustapha Haida Quote: I’m very happy for with the victory.

Gaston Bolanos defeated Luca D’Isanto via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

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, Скотт Кокер, 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

Залишити коментар

 

SANTA MONICA, КАЛИФОРНИЯ (Грудня. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, І 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 в цю п'ятницю на "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Бельтран," на Грудня. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4PM ET/PT.

 

В тільки 26 років, 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), Тайрелл Фортуна (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) а також Аарон Піко і Ромеро Бавовна – 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, Пенсільванія, 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, Каліфорнія., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Джош Кошчек і Кріс Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Листопад. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 у першому турі.

 

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 Алессіо Sakara (18-11, 2 Північна Кароліна), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 Північна Кароліна) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, у тому числі Джон Солтер (12-3), Ямаучи до (31-9) і Філіп Лінс(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Деніз Кільгольц (45-3) і Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator кікбоксингу: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 Північна Кароліна) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Джо Шилінг (19-9) проти Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) з Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), і Kevin Ross(31-9) зустрінеться Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) в легкому боротьбі. "Bellator кікбоксингу: Florence” airs П'ятниця, Грудня. 16 на 11:15 PM ET, immediately following "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”
