“I think this is my third Spike event and I’m happy to be fighting on a show with two great fighters like Lara and Foreman.
“It’s going to be a hell of a show. We are going to put on a great show. All the fights on the card are tremendous fights – undefeated fighters fighting undefeated fighters and champions fighting champions and we are all coming to win.
“I was going to talk a lot of trash to him (Nemespati), but he can’t understand me anyway. I am looking forward to a great fight against a good opponent like him. Assurez-vous de syntoniser vendredi and catch the action!”
NORBERT NEMESAPATI
“I am coming in as the smaller fighter, so I will have to put a lot of pressure on him. I sparred a lot of rounds for this fight, with a lot of tall guys. That’s fine with me that he is taller because I love to punch to the body.
“I might never get another opportunity like this, so I have to make the most of it. This is a beautiful place and I’m coming to the ring to win big. Thank you for this very special opportunity.”
MIGUEL CRUZ
“I wish that Alex Martin was here so I could talk a little smack to his face.
“13-0, 11 KOs vs. 13-0, 5 KOs… basically somebody’s ‘0’ has to go and I can give you a hint… it’s not going to be mine.
“I’m going to crush him like an ant with a sledgehammer. I’m going to destroy him. That’s the plan. Ne le manquez pas.”

Royce Gracie

Le nom Gracie est synonyme de MMA, et c'est en grande partie à Royce Gracie, un homme qui est considéré comme l'inventeur du sport tel que nous le connaissons aujourd'hui. Le vainqueur de la première de plusieurs événements de l'UFC, Gracie serait démanteler plusieurs adversaires en une seule nuit, beaucoup d'entre eux étaient beaucoup plus grande que lui. Pendant de nombreuses années, il n'y avait pas de réponse pour la technique Gracie Jiu-Jitsu qu'il a amenée au combat. Aujourd'hui, il est difficile de trouver un combattant de MMA qui ne s'est pas entraîné dans l'art du jiu-jitsu brésilien que son père a inventé. En février de 2016, Gracie a titré "Bellator 149", un événement qui a fracassé les records d'audience de l'entreprise qui restent intacts à ce jour.

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Avec un CV incroyable mis en évidence par des victoires sur quatre membres de la légendaire famille Gracie, dont Royler, Renzo, Ryan, et Royce Gracie, Sakuraba a hérité du surnom de « The Gracie Hunter ». L'artiste martial mixte japonais est surtout connu pour son premier affrontement avec Royce, un marathon de 90 minutes qui s'est terminé par un TKO (arrêt de coin) victoire de Sakuraba presque 17 il y a des années. Gracie vengerait plus tard sa perte, remportant une décision unanime contre Sakuraba à « K-1 Dynamite États-Unis!!" à l'intérieur du Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Maintenant, près d'une décennie plus tard, les deux légendes se retrouvent et Bellator MMA vous donne la chance d'être là quand cela se produit!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione a initialement mis ses talents au service du football, signer en tant qu'agent libre non repêché avec les Giants de New York en 2002. Après de brefs passages avec les 49ers de San Francisco et les Vikings du Minnesota, Mitrione est entré dans la cage du MMA et n'a pas regardé en arrière depuis. Le vétéran de l'UFC à 14 reprises a commencé sa carrière professionnelle avec des victoires lors de ses cinq premiers combats, dont quatre sont venus par KO. Connu comme l'un des meilleurs finisseurs du sport, le natif d'Indianapolis, âgé de 37 ans, a récemment terminé sa course avec son ancien employeur, prendre la décision de tester la libre agence. Mitrione cherchera désormais à dupliquer le succès qu'il a rencontré tout au long de sa carrière, quand il rencontre Fedor Emelianenko à San José en février.

 

Wanderlei Silva

L'ancienne superstar de l'UFC Wanderlei Silva sera également présente le Janvier 20, comme "The Axe Murderer" se prépare pour ses débuts au Bellator MMA dans l'année très attendue de 2017. L'homme qui l'a constamment appelé depuis qu'il a rejoint la promotion dirigée par Scott Coker, Chael Sonnen, participera à l'événement principal de « Bellateur 170 » juste un jour après le "Fan Fest". Un vétéran de 48 combats, Silva a rejoint la mêlée du Bellator MMA après une illustre carrière à l'UFC, passer au crible les puissances moyennes Cung Le, Brian Stann, et actuel champion de division Michael Bisping. Avec 25 de son 35 victoires en carrière à venir par KO, le hotshot brésilien de 40 ans est impatient de faire sentir sa présence à l'intérieur de la cage Bellator MMA. Rejoignez-nous pour « Bellateur 170 » "Fan Fest" à Los Angeles et rencontrez la légende lui-même avant qu'il ne fasse ses débuts promotionnels.

 

Roi Mo
