The Brazilian Daniel gracie will debut tonight in the Bellator Fighting Championships light heavyweight GP. The tough guy will face the North American Tim Carpenter in one of the quarter-finals of the tournament that will be held today (25) in the 38th edition of the event.
Daniel is coming off a submission victory (rear naked choke) over the Swede Martin Wojcik at the Israeli Fighting Championship – Genesis, which took place last November. The Tupiniquim athlete has a record of five wins, two defeats and one draw, with four submissions in his career.
In turn, Carpenter will put on the line an unbeaten record of six fights as a professional. The American's most recent victory came last October, when he overcame his compatriot Jamal Patterson, in a split decision by the judges, at Bellator 33.
The winner of the GP will be declared the event's first light heavyweight champion. In addition to the quarterfinals of the tournament, the Bellator 38 card also has five more fights on its schedule. Check out the clashes scheduled for tonight:
