Oct 31, 2015 Comments
(PRESS RELEASE) -- SANTA MONICA, Calif. – A lightweight scrap
pitting Brandon
Girtz (13-4) against Derek
Campos (15-5) has been added to “Bellator 146: Kato vs.
Manhoef” at WinStar World Casino in Thackerville, OK., on November
20.
The 155-pound tilt will take place during the main card of "Bellator 146: ‘Kato vs. Manhoef," which airs live on Spike at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary bouts will stream on Spike.com at 6 p.m. CT.
Tickets for “Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef” are on sale now at the
WinStar World Casino and Resort Box Office, as well as
Ticketmaster. Ticket prices range from: $75, $55, $45 and doors for
the event open at 5:00 p.m. CT local time, with the first contest
taking place one hour later.
Previously announced pairings for the event include featherweight action featuring Bubba Jenkins (9-2), who takes on Jordan Parsons (11-1) and Hisaki Kato (5-1) who meets Melvin Manhoef (29-12-1) in a middleweight headlining attraction. In addition, a welterweight scrap pitting Ricky Rainey (11-3) against Chidi Njokuani (13-4) will also take place.
Coming off a fight that many mixed martial arts media members and fans consider to be an upset, Girtz will “Cold Roll” his way into “Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef” riding momentum from his split decision win against Melvin Guillard at “Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Girtz.” Now, with two wins in his last two Bellator MMA appearances, the 30-year-old Minnesota resident will look to redeem himself from a unanimous decision loss suffered against Campos more than two years prior.
On the opposite end of the spectrum will be Campos, who is coming off a defeat at the hands of Michael Chandler at this past June’s record-breaking “Bellator 138: Unfinished Business” event. “The Stallion” will hope to duplicate the success he experienced at the expense of Girtz during “Bellator 96” where he took home scores of 29-28 from all three judges sitting at cageside. Campos will be competing close to home, with Lubbock, Texas being a short drive away from Thackerville, OK.
