Terry Brazier has the biggest fight of his life fast approaching as he takes on Soren ‘The True Viking’ Bak at Bellator London on November 23rd.
The ex-paratrooper transitions from fighting in the British army to fight on one of the biggest stages in his home city, the SSE Arena, Wembley.
After dominating top prospect Rhys McKee in the UK promotion BAMMA, to become a double weight champion, Brazier moved onwards to Bellator with dreams of chasing a Benson Henderson fight and proving he is the best lightweight in the world.
Brazier currently has one win and one loss in the American promotion; He defeated Alessandro Botti via keylock submission in his most recent fight and hopes to make it two in a row in Bellator in his third fight of the year.
Soren Bak will be a tough test for the British lightweight. He seems to thrive on being in enemy territory and is no stranger to stealing the show. He proved his heart and a solid display of wrestling in his win over Paddy Pimblett for the Cage Warrior’s title. Terry Brazier will want to show his high-level striking; “It’s a chance to show how good my striking is, that being said I’m not scared of grappling with him.” Can ‘The True Viking’ cause another upset in front of the home crowd on his Bellator debut.
The London card is stacked full of UK talent with the likes of Michael Venom Page, Fabian Edwards and Aaron Chalmers all taking on tough competition. This will be a huge opportunity for the local lads to showcase their talent on the big stage, with the world watching closely. Fighting on this card is ideal for Brazier as he does not have far to travel; “I live a few train stops from Wembley and now I’m fighting there, it’s amazing.”
Brazier is coming to the end of his contract with Bellator but would love to sign again; he is looking for a top ten ranked opponent next to show what he is really capable of. Ideally, The Dominator wants to be headlining early next year and work his way to the title.
It is events such as this that can really make a household name in the fight game. This is one of the hottest cards of the year; with a sell-out crowd expected on the night, Bellator London promises to be an unforgettable night of MMA action and this is certainly one not to miss.
