MELVIN GUILLARD NOW FACES DEREK CAMPOS AT ‘BELLATOR 149: SHAMROCK VS. GRACIE’

Leave sa usa ka comment

JUSTIN ‘THE BIG PYGMY’ WREN RETURNS TO ACTION IN EVENT’S FEATURED PRELIMINARY BOUT

Santa Monica, Calif. (Pebrero 2, 2015) –An injury to Mike Bronzoulis has shifted things during the SPIKE-televised main card of "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " sa Feb. 19 sa Toyota Center sa Houston, Texas. Karon, the lightweight contest will pit Melvin Guillard (32-15-2) batok sa Derek Fields (15-6).

 

Dugang pa, Justin “The Big Pygmy Viking” Wren (11-2) returns to action in what will be his second appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, sa diha nga ihibalag Juan Torres (4-4) in heavyweight fisticuffs.

 

The fights join a card that already features a double main event — Ken Shamrock (28-16-2) magtigum Royce Gracie (14-2-3) alang sa usa ka ikatulo nga panahon ug Kimbo Dilim (5-2) makig-away sa tawo nga nagtawag kaniya gikan sukad sa ilang panaghigalaay natapos ka tuig ang milabay, Dhafir Harris, mas maayo nga nailhan nga "Dughan 5000" (2-0). In featherweight action, Emmanuel Sanchez (12-2) will look to continue his torrid pace when he meets Daniel Pineda (21-11) and former light heavyweight titlist Emanuel Newton (25-9) mga gubat Linton Vassell (15-5).

 

Tiket alang niini nga mixed martial arts extravaganza pagsugod sa lang $50 ug sa ibabaw sa pagbaligya karon sa Bellator.com, ingon man usab sa HoustonToyotaCenter.com, the Toyota Center Box Office and Houston area Randall’s locations.

 

"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " ipasibya live ug gawasnon sa mibugway sa 9 sa gabii. ET / 8 hapon. CT, samtang ang preliminary bouts magaganayan live sa Bellator.com ug Ang Bellator Mobile App.

 

Guillard suffered a horrific broken hand during his Bellator MMA debut against Brandon Girtz sa sayo pa niini nga tuig. “The Young Assassin” has made it clear that he intends on eventually fighting for the 155-pound title, and his road to the gold begins on Feb. 19 against a tough Texas native with plenty to prove. Of Guillard’s 32 daog ingon sa usa ka propesyonal nga, 23 victories have come before reaching the judges’ scorecards.

 

Known as “The Stallion” to those familiar with his mixed martial arts career, Campos will come into his meeting with Guillard riding a two-fight skid. During his eight-fight tenure with Bellator MMA, the 27-year-old Texan has faced a plethora of top lightweight talent, going up against names the likes of: Michael Chandler, Patricky Freire, Brandon Girtz (2x), and Estevan Payan.

 

You would be hard-pressed to find a better story in all of MMA than the one that Wren can tell. The two-time National High School Wrestling Champion generated massive amounts of media attention on the road to his promotional debut at "Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Binaksan,” where he defeated Josh Burns. His story begins several years earlier, sa 2010, when Wren confronted an opponent tougher than any he could face in combat sports: addiction.

 

With an opportunity to continue fighting on the table, Wren left the sport and began his recovery process. A chance meeting with a friend led Wren on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he came across and developed a deep connection with the Mbuti Pygmies, many of whom were enslaved, living on only the scraps the slave masters would pay them with. Wren found his calling there and wanted to do everything in his power to help the Pygmies. With multiple visits to the Congo, including a stint that lasted a year, Wren started a foundation called “Fight for the Forgotten.” Through his efforts, Wren and his staff of 17 have systematically bought the land of the slave owners, and have thus far legally given 2,740 acres of rainforest to the Pygmies, effectively freeing them from slavery.

 

Partnering with other groups like Shalom University and joining forces with Water4.org, Wren and his charity are responsible for drilling 26 water wells to help provide both the Pygmies and the former slave masters with clean water, and have plans to drill hundreds more. Dugang pa, the team has begun a sustainable farming project to benefit and provide food to both the Pygmies and non-Pygmies of the community.
