Bellator MMA is hosting two cards in Milan, Italy, in
September.
It seems that the Bellator European Series is ready to make its
long-awaited return after the long hiatus forced by the ongoing
COVID-19 health emergency. According to multiple sources, Italian
fighter Chiara
Penco will face Aleksandra
Toncheva Plamenova in a 115-pound clash that will go down on an
upcoming card in Milan, Italy, on Sept. 26. The sources asked for
anonymity since the news isn’t official yet.
In her latest cage appearance, former Extreme Cage Fighting
champion Penco (4-2) dropped a decision in front of Danni
Neilan at Bellator 240. Prior, “Beasty Barbie” lost her
divisional title to Karolina
Wojcik after a close match that took place at EFC 76 back
in December 2018. That loss snapped a four-bout winning streak that
featured all submission victories.
IMMAF World and two-time European Champion Toncheva (2-1-1) is
debuting in Bellator after upending Katie Saull
via unanimous decision in her latest cage appearance. Prior, she
edged Anita
Doganova via decision before facing Camila
Rivarola at XFN 14 in a battle that ended in a draw.
Recently,
BJPenn.com reported that UFC vet Carlo
Pedersoli Jr. (11-3) will make his Bellator debut on a
card that will also go down in Milan too but on Sept. 24. “Semento”
is set to lock horns with Grachik
Bozinyan (10-5), who is still looking for his first victory
under the Bellator banner.
