With mixed martial arts becoming legalized in France in 2020, BELLATOR became the first promotion to hold a major MMA event with BELLATOR 248 in October of that year. 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, 瑞安貝德 (29-7, 1 NC) defending his crown in enemy territory against hometown favorite and No. 2-排名重量級 謝赫·金剛 (31-11-2, 1 NC).
In addition to the main and co-main event, a lightweight tilt pitting the last man to defeat media darling Paddy Pimblett, 索倫·貝克 (15-1) against England’s 索爾·羅傑斯 (15-4) is also official. 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. Fighting out of Denmark, “The True Viking” is riding a seven-fight win streak into battle against the SBG Manchester product, 羅傑斯. Known as “The Hangman,” Rogers also has amassed 15 victories on his resume including wins over Artem Lobov, Ryan Hall and Georgi Karakhanyan.
The preliminary card is guaranteed to feature a showcase of French talent and has begun to take shape with the return of 伊夫蘭杜 (16-9), who takes on Liverpool’s 加文·休斯 (10-2) in a lightweight affair. Preliminary card action will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, 在安卡斯維爾的 Mohegan Sun Arena 內的共同特色比賽中 6:30 P.M. CEST/12:30 P.M. AND.
Tickets for the fight are on sale now at accorarena.com 和 bellator.fr. 在 Instagram @BellatorFrance 和 Facebook 上關注 Bellator France www.facebook.com/BellatorFrance/
戰鬥了邁阿密, 佛羅里達, Romero will be making his second BELLATOR appearance on May 6 在巴黎. 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. 同 11 他 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, 和 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 他 32 MMA victims via knockout, 含 26 in the first round and eight in the opening minute of action. A native of Amsterdam, 荷蘭, the ageless wonder and No. 10-ranked BELLATOR light heavyweight will now look to add to a trio of impressive knockouts that he’s collected since joining the promotion back in 2014.
