Bellator MMA has filled up the lineup for its
Irish excursion in November. Via press release on Thursday, the organization announced a slew of
new matchups for
Bellator 270, including a pair of main card tilts and several
preliminary contests. At middleweight, Charlie
Ward (9-4) will square off with Norbert
Novenyi Jr. (5-0), while featherweights Daniel
Weichel (41-12) and Pedro
Carvalho (11-5) will toe the line as the main card opener. This
event will be held in the 3Arena in Dublin on Nov. 5.
Ward bounced back from a 2019 loss to Pietro
Penini by stopping Kyle Kurtz
at Bellator 240 three months later. In October 2020, Ward earned a
decision win over Andy
Manzolo to put himself on a win streak and a ranked position
with the promotion The SBJ Ireland export posts a career knockout
rate of 67 percent, and he has neither won nor lost a bout via
submission.
Submission expert Novenyi cruised into the organization in 2018
with a first-round rear-naked choke of Mehmet
Yueksel to earn his second career victory. Tapouts of Will Lavine
and Laid
Zerhouni bookend a decision over Will Fleury
to advance the Hungarian’s record to a perfect five up with none
down. Young in his career, Novenyi hoists a submission rate of 80
percent.
Both Weichel and Carvalho competed in the Bellator featherweight
grand prix and made it to the quarterfinals, only to be eliminated
by Emmanuel
Sanchez and Patricio
Freire, respectively. Weichel rebounded from the defeat to
Sanchez by snagging a split verdict over Keoni Diggs
in June. On the other hand, Carvalho’s return following the
“Pitbull” fight did not go his way, when Jay-Jay
Wilson put him away in the second round.
