Bellator 125: "Marshall vs. Manhoef" takes place TONIGHT (Fri., Sept. 19, 2014) at the Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., live on Spike TV with the third event of Bellator's eleventh season.
Tonight's main event is loaded with fireworks. Former WEC Light Heavyweight Champion Doug "The Rhino" Marshall is a proponent of aggression over adhesion -- he doesn't want a tight clinch or a submission chess match -- he'd rather stand at range and trade shots. Kickboxing veteran Melvin "No Mercy" Manhoef is much the same. History shows us that Manhoef's best fights are the ones where he lands a big blow quickly, as he's not renowned for cardio or endurance.
Brian Rogers knows a little something about "blink and you'll miss it" himself. His first flying knee knockout of Vitor Vianna is a staple of Bellator and MMA highlight reels, and he delivered ANOTHER one in the second round against Adrian Miles at Bellator 119. Decisions don't always work out for Rogers (he's dropped the last two to go the distance) so he's going to welcome newcomer Rafael Carvalho with heavy hands -- unless Carvalho beats him to the punch. He's 9-1 fighting in Brazil with eight technical knockout finishes.
Also on the main card, featherweights Martin Stapleton and Goiti Yamauchi will showcase their skills, and heavyweight Raphael Butler looks to bounce back from a disappointing draw as he squares off with Javy Ayala. He can't afford to look past Ayala though, as he smashed Eric Prindle and Thiago Santos in his last two fights.
