Ryan Ford??
They announced Alvarez’ opponent as Patricky Freire. That’s a real treat for those who can make it to Windsor for this show. Don’t expect much lay and pray in that one. Maybe there will be some from the bottom guy trying to recover after knockdowns.
In response to the question of whether Ryan Ford will be featuring, that’s what he alluded to on his Twitter.
Alvarez-Freire, 4 tourney bouts, Ford vs. maybe Daley or Saunders who aren’t in the tourney, that could be a good ass show.
UPDATE: Patricky Freire takes on Eddie Alvarez
Very happy to update this card with Guillaume de Lorenzi’s name. It’s been too long on the shelf for one of Canada’s top Lightweights!
(7-0) Mikkel Parlo will finally be making his debut when he faces (5-2) Ali Mokdad at MW for Bellator 76. http://fightfan.dk/bellator-parlo-debuterer-mod-monsteret/
UPDATE: Added Ryan Ford
Bellator always puts on great cards in Canada, Eddie vs Patricky can go only one way and that is an all out war SOOOO PUMPED for that fight
Bellator move the fight between Guillaume de Lorenzi vs Josh Quayhagen on the November 2 event at Casino Rama.
Kyle Prepolec of Windsor is slated to fight Jason Fischer 4W-1L on this card
I heard from a fighter that there will be 145 tourney fights on this event
I’ll Say It,
One could have deduced that from process of elimination. The real question is who’ll be involved in the tourney and the match ups. You’d think they would have announced these things already. It must come any day now. I’m pretty sure about Mike “The Horodecki Killer” Richman and and Rad Martinez. I think Shamhalaev and Malegarie. It gets pretty cloudy after that.
UPDATE: Main card set with all four Featherweight Tournament Quarterfinals
According to MMA.TV, the card is pretty much set.
The additions they’re reporting are:
A.J. Matthews vs. Dom O’Grady
Chad Laprise vs. Ainsley Robinson
Magomedrasul Khasbulaev Vs. Nayeb Hezam
This is shaping up to be one of Bellator’s best cards of the season. They hooking up Ontario unlike last season.
UPDATE: Simon Marini replaces Mikkel Parlo against Ali Mokdad
