The Fight: Bellator 156

Bellator 156 will be happening live from the SaveMart Center, in Fresno, California on June 17, 2016. The main card of the night will be the matchup between Galvao VS Dantas II. All around, this will be one crazy night of fights, promising action, glory, and hopefully some well-deserved wins for those who go hardest.

Who is Douglas Lima?

28 year old Douglas Lima, also known by his moniker “The Phenom” is revered by many to be among the best MMA fighters in the world. Considered the most underrated welterweight in the professional MMA circuit, Lima expects a lot of himself, and has proven to be exceptionally skilled when dueling in the cage. Brazilian born and raised, Douglas furthered his MMA training upon moving to the States. He began his professional training with Top Team Atlanta, in Georgia. Currently, Lima is a Bellator fighter, and a former world champ with Bellator MMA and MFC. His pro record stands at 26 wins, 6 losses.

In 2011, Lima signed a contract to fight with Bellator Fighting Championships, entering into their Season 5 Welterweight Tournament. He defeated all three of his opponents swiftly and easily, including a TKO on Ben Saunders during the final. When faced with the possibility of a title during this run, he lost to Ben Askren with a Unanimous Decision.

Lima VS Njokuani

The co-main event between Lima and Njokuani is going to be insane, by all predictions! These hungry competitors are both gunning for a title, and Njokuani in particular is looking for blood. His last 6 fights have been undefeated, and that spans the past 3 years. Winning this fight would be extremely beneficial to Lima’s chances at climbing the ranks, and hopefully would enhance his likelihood at facing Andrey Koreshkov, the current champ, and who he lost the title to last year. Chidi “Chidi Bang Bang” Njokuani is a welterweight fighting out of Las Vegas, NV. His record stands at 14 wins, 4 losses, and this guy has a serious level of fight in him, so expect one hell of a match! At 6’3”, 170 lbs, Chidi Bang Bang is a beast! Considering the skills, wins, and how ravenous each of these fighters is, Bellator 156 has the potential to play a major role in both of their careers. Winning this event can open up some major doors down the road, so hopefully everyone will be bringing their best to the match.

Bellator 156 Main Event

While watching Team VaporFi fighter Douglas Lima take down his opponent in Chidi Njokuani is, in our opinion, where the real action of the event will be, it’s not the only draw! The main headline of the night will be Marcos Galvao vs Eduardo Dantas II, the highly-anticipated rematch between these two fierce competitors. During their last encounter in the cage it was 2013, and Dantas was defending his title. Dantas succeeded over Galvao, knocking him out in only the second round to retain his standing. This time, he’s fighting to reclaim the glory. One way or another, this is going to be hot!
