Four Preliminary Matches Announced For Bellator 139 on June 26 for the event, we also got the detail of these bouts below.
All four additions will air on the preliminary card, which streams on MMAjunkie prior to the Spike TV-televised main card at Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, Kan. The bouts were announced via a Bellator MMA press release. The event is headlined by a heavyweight bout between Cheick Kongo and Alexander Volkov.
Bantamweights Aaron Ely (4-2 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) and Jeimeson Saudino (8-4 MMA, 1-1 BMMA) will clash in a bout which will get one man’s career back on track. Ely lost his last bout, a January 2013 split decision to now-UFC fighter Dustin Ortiz. Saudino is riding a three-fight losing skid after starting his career 8-1.
Undefeated lightweight Pablo Villaseca (9-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) will make his promotional debut against Bobby Cooper (11-5 MMA, 1-0 BMMA). Cooper is coming off a defeat in his last bout, dropping a split decision to Andy Uhrich in March. In his lone Bellator bout, Cooper beat Marcio Navarro by unanimous decision.
Heavyweight finishing machine Augusto Sakai (7-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) looks to keep his unblemished record in tact when he faces Daniel Gallemore (4-2 MMA, 3-0 BMMA). Three of Gallemore’s four professional wins have come inside the Bellator cage, including two during his current three-fight winning streak. Sakai has finished all but one of the seven opponents he has faced.
Somebody’s “0” must go in the young careers of women’s featherweight fighters Iony Razafiarison (2-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Bryanna Fissori (1-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA). Both women will be making their Bellator debut in the fight.
