Bellator MMA’s inaugural pay-per-view event now has seven bouts set for the night’s Spike TV and Spike.com preliminary card, and some familiar names are part of the mix.
Bellator 106 takes place Bellator Nov. 2 at Long Beach Arena in California. Former UFC champs and Bellator newcomers Quinton Jackson and Tito Ortiz headline the show, which also features three title fights.
In addition to a delayed “Fight Master” tournament final between Mike Bronzoulis (15-5-1 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Joe Riggs (39-14 MMA, 0-1 BMMA), the Spike TV prelims includes Terry Etim (15-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), a four-time “Submission of the Night” winner in his first-post UFC fight. He takes on fellow lightweight Patrick Cenoble (9-2-1 MMA, 0-0-1 BMMA), who recently made his promotional debut and fought Tony Fryklund to a split draw at Bellator 94.
In additional prelims that stream on Spike.com, UFC vet and former KOTC champion Mike Guymon (14-6-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), who’s won two of three fights since signing with Bellator, fights fellow Californian lightweight Aaron Miller (14-8-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), who looks for his third straight Bellator win and his sixth consecutive victory overall.
Rounding out the Spike.com prelims are welterweights Jesse Juarez (20-8 MMA, 4-0 BMMA) vs. Joe Williams (9-1 MMA, 2-1 BMMA), light heavyweights Brandon Halsey (4-0 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) vs. Hector Ramirez (10-5-1 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), featherweights Joe Camacho (13-18-3 MMA, 0-1 BMMA) vs. Cleber Luciano (8-5 MMA, 1-1 BMMA), and lightweights Darren Smith (4-3 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) vs. Josh Smith (8-5 MMA, 0-0 BMMA).
Additional bouts are expected to be added in the coming weeks.
