The Bellator promotion will be setting up shop at Caesars Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City, N.J., on Dec. 7. The marquee fight for this, their 83rd show, is the featherweight tournament final between Rad Martinez and Shahbulat Shamhalaev.

Bellator women’s 155-pound champion Zoila Frausto, the wife of MMA fighter Jorge Gurgel, will take on the revelation Jessica Eye in a non-title affair.

Promising New Yorker Anthony Leone will be taking on former bantamweight champ Zach Makovsky. Makovsky holds a record of 14 wins in 17 fights and lost the belt to Eduardo Dantas at Bellator 65.

Leone, who has previously fought under the WEC and Strikeforce banners, has 11 wins in 16 career fights. Today he shows us how he likes controlling an opponent turtling on all fours. The trick is to know where to stick your hands and the right timing to use your legs.

O cercado cinza do Bellator aporta nesta sexta-feira, 7 de dezembro, no Caesars Hotel e Casino, em Atlantic City, Nova Jersey. O destaque da edição 83 é a final do torneio dos plumas entre Rad Martinez e Shahbulat Shamhalaev.

Namorada do lutador Jorge Gurgel, a campeã da categoria 52kg Zoila Frausto encara a revelação Jessica Eye, em luta que não vale o título.

Já o promissor novaiorquino Anthony Leone enfrenta o ex-campeão dos galos, Zach Makovsky. Makovsky tem um cartel com 14 triunfos em 17 lutas, e perdeu o cinturão para Eduardo Dantas, na edição 65.

Já Leone, ex-WEC e Strikeforce, possui 11 vitórias em 16 conferes na carreira. Hoje, ele nos mostra como gosta de controlar o adversário no quatro apoios. O macete é saber onde por as mãos e o tempo certo de usar as pernas.
