**LOS ANGELES** – A previously announced BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Championship bout between **Vadim Nemkov** (14-2) og **Anthony “Rumble” Johnson** has been cancelled following the news that “Rumble” has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to an undisclosed illness.

Som et resultat, official BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix alternate **Julius Anglickas** (10-1) has been called upon to fill-in for Johnson in the semifinal bout and will now challenge defending champion Nemkov on Saturday, Oktober. 16 i hovedturneringen av *Bellator 268: Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Semifinals* at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.

After earning the distinction of alternate in BELLATOR MMA’s Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix following a victory over Gregory Milliard at *Bellator 257*, the 30-year-old Lithuanian will now have the golden opportunity to showcase his skills on MMA’s biggest stage, win BELLATOR gold and move to the grand prix finals. Anglickas’ original opponent No. 10 ranked light heavyweight **Karl Albrektsson** (12-3) will now meet **Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov** (18-6-1) during the preliminary card. Også, a bantamweight tilt between undefeated **Jaylon Bates** (3-0) og **Raphael Montini de Lima** (6-4, 1 NC) is official, along with a welterweight bout pitting **Mukhamed Berkhamov** (14-0) versus **Jaleel Willis** (15-2).

*BELLATOR MMA: Light Heavyweight World* *Grand Prix Semifinals* will be telecast live on SHOWTIME at **10 pm. ET / 7 pm. PT**. The preliminary portion of the docket will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV beginning at 7 pm. ET / 4 pm. PT. The card features a second grand prix semifinal between current BELLATOR Heavyweight World Champion **Ryan Bader** (28-6) og Nei. 2 ranked 205-pounder **Corey Anderson** (15-5)

Undefeated since joining forces with the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2019, the Anglickas has emerged as the No. 5 ranked fighter in the promotion’s stacked 205-pound weight class. Holding a professional record of 10-1 and currently sporting a nine-fight winning streak that began in 2016, the 30-year-old powerhouse is now in the running for the million-dollar grand prix prize. Team Fedor’s Vadim Nemkov most recently went five hard rounds with former champion Phil Davis, earning a unanimous decision victory en route to punching his ticket to the semifinals. Nemkov has been perfect in BELLATOR to this point, winning all six of his contests including three knockouts and a submission.

Bellator 270 Billetter i salgDENNE Fredag, August 27

DUBLIN – After more than 18 months away from the 3Arena, BELLATOR’s return to the iconic Dublin venue is set for Friday, November. 5, when Ireland’s own No. 6 rangertJames “The Strabanimal” Gallagher (11-1) faces the No. 2 rangertPatchy Mix(14-1) in a huge bantamweight main event to headlineBellator 270.

I co-headliner, Do Not. 4 ranked lightweight and Dublin’s very ownPeter “The Showstopper” Queally (13-5-1), will be looking to bring the house down again when he faces 23-time BELLATOR veteran and No. 1 rangertPatricky "Pitbull" Freire (23-10) in a highly anticipated rematch. An additional five preliminary matchups forBellator 270: Gallagher vs. Mix are also confirmed below.

Tickets toBellator 270: Gallagher vs. Mix go on general sale on this Friday, August. 27, with an exclusive presale on Thursday, August. 26, and can be purchased throughTicketmaster.ie ogBellator.com.

Fans in Ireland will be able to watch the event on both Virgin Media Two and Virgin Media Sport, while those in the UK can watch the event live on BBC iPlayer. Meanwhile U.S. fans will be able to enjoy the main card action live on SHOWTIME at 5 pm. ET/2 p.m. PT, with a replay at 10 pm. ET / PT.

The eagerly awaited bantamweight matchup between Gallagher and Mix has the potential to go down as one of the all-time great fights in BELLATOR history. It was originally due to take place in May at BELLATOR 258, but injury forced Gallagher out of the encounter. Nå, in front of what is guaranteed to be an electric Irish crowd, the “Strabanimal” will finally get his chance to silence Mix as he looks to earn the biggest win of his career to date.

“I’m so grateful to be back as the headline in Dublin,” said Gallagher, “I’ve moved to America to take my mindset and skill set to another level and I’m happy I can show my work to my home fans! Welcome to the Jimmy Show! "

Patchy Mix is currently the #2 ranked bantamweight and fights out of Extreme Couture in Las Vegas. Like Gallagher, Mix has made a name for himself in the BELLATOR cage by displaying impressive submissions, including the rare Suloev Stretch.

Mix said of his long-awaited matchup: “I’m going to walk into James’ home country and put him away in the first round.”

After a series of lively back-and-forth trash talk encounters and cancelled bouts due to injury, Queally and Pitbull finally met in the BELLATOR cage in May earlier this year, with the Irishman causing a huge upset, securing a hard-fought TKO victory due to a doctor’s stoppage following a cut Patricky sustained in the second round.

Queally, meanwhile, who trains alongside Gallagher out of Ireland’s famous Straight Blast Gym, will be looking to once again use the might of the home-crowd to help him secure a decisive win over his bitter rival, Pitbull.

“I can’t wait to get back out there again to settle this once and for all with Pitbull and really give the 3Arena crowd something special,” Queally said. “Patricky is such a perfect opponent, there has been so much that has gone on with me and him that I think the crowd will be even more invested than normal this time. Expect an all-out war – I’m going to beat him, and the lightweight belt is next.”

Freire – the older brother of BELLATOR lightweight champion Patrício – has competed professionally since 2005, earning a fearsome reputation as a knockout artist. Living up to the moniker “Pitbull,” Freire will be looking to even the score with Queally, silence the home crowd and get back to his winning ways.

“He knows he was getting beat up in the first fight,” said Pitbull. “He felt pain in his legs and body, I’m gonna make him feel even more pain now. The Irish fans are very loud and passionate, but when I knock him out, you will be able to hear a pin drop in that arena.”

The news of a return to Dublin rounds off a trio of BELLATOR MMA events confirmed on European soil in 2021, with the cage setting down in London on October 1 and Moscow on October 23 before heading to the Irish capital on November 5.

**POST-FIGHT VIDEO INTERVIEWS HERE**

c-**Gegard Mousasi** (48-7-2) beseiret #1-**John Salter** (18-5) via TKO (punches) ved 2:07 av runde tre-

*Gegard Mousasi following retaining his middleweight title:*

“He’s a southpaw so everything is more difficult. It was a little bit more difficult to get my punches in, but other than that I felt good. I’m way stronger than people think. Maybe I look skinny but I’m a lot stronger and physically I was the stronger guy in there. On top, I felt like I could just pressure him, put my weight on him and hurt him with my punches. Make him feel the pressure. It was a five-rounder so in my mind, I’m saying ‘Okay, don’t do everything now because we can go five.’”

**Andrey Koreshkov** (24-4) beseiret #10-**Sabah Homasi** (15-10) via enstemmig avgjørelse (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

*Andrey Koreshkov following his return to the BELLATOR MMA Cage:*

“I try to show everybody that I’m here, I can compete, and I can beat anyone. I think I’m one of the top fighters in this division. Etter min mening, I must fight with somebody for the third, second or first place. I’m open to anybody. It doesn’t matter. Neiman Gracie, Jason Jackson, Paul Daley, Michael “Venom” Page – anybody!"

#4-**Raufeon Stots** (17-1) beseiret #3-**Magomed Magomedov** (18-2) via enstemmig avgjørelse (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

*Raufeon Stots following his impressive victory:*

“I’ve never claimed to be the best wrestler in MMA, but y’all better stop sleeping on my wrestling. I’m a two-time national champion for a reason. Ain’t nobody stopping me in the wrestling division. I’m the best wrestler in the division.”

#7-**Davion Franklin** (4-0) beseiret **Everett Cummings** (15-1) via KO (punches) ved :21 av runde ett

*Davion Franklin has his sights set on fellow BELLATOR heavyweight Cheick Kongo:*

“I was just thinking about putting him out. Getting him out in the first round. That was my goal this whole time. I learned just to keep going. By the way, I heard Cheick Kongo commented under Everett Cummings’ Instagram post saying that Everett’s gonna’ tap me out. Hey Cheick Kongo, step up, you’ll get done the same way, if not worse.”

**Khadzhi Bestaev** (11-4) beseiret **Du Gwerder** (5-3) via enstemmig avgjørelse (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

*Khadzhi Bestaev had this to say following a successful BELLATOR debut:*

“He was bigger than me and very tough, but I knew he was going to gas out. He started gassing out in the second or third round, but I’m still surprised by the decision. I thought it was a draw or maybe a split-decision. But I have to see the fight. In my head, he kicked and punched me so many times so hats off to him. He didn’t give up. I just dropped him a couple of times and that was the difference.”

Fighting ut av Miami, Romero will be making his highly anticipated BELLATOR debut on Sept. 18. 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 December 2020. Med 11 av hans 13 karriereseire som kommer ut av knockout, including four of the first-round variety, “Soldier of God” possesses the type of knockout power that can force any opponent into early retirement. A three-time World Cup Freestyle Wrestling Champion, five-time Pan-American Freestyle Wrestling Champion, og 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.
