From a Bellator Press Release:
Bellator Finalizes Chicago Undercard
Bellator Fighting Championships today announced the completion of the Local Feature Fights for Bellator 25 when the promotion returns to the historic Chicago Theatre.
Joining an exciting welterweight fight between the colorful, seasoned Chi-town veteran Shonie Carter (49-24) and battle-tested Torrance Taylor (8-7) slated as the local main event, the promotion today confirmed four additional talent-rich fights for the Fox Sports Net event.
In a battle of Chicago natives, up-and-coming Kevin Knabjian (10-4) faces 14-year MMA veteran Brian Gassaway (28-19) in a welterweight contest that will serve as the Local Co-Main Event. Both Knabijan and Gassaway will be hungry for a win after dropping their last respective fights, which should provide fans with an explosive match-up at 170 lbs.
Hailing from Indiana, UFC and Strikeforce veteran John Kolosci (14-6) will take on undefeated fast-rising Chicagoan Kenny Robertson (9-0) in a 170 lbs. fight. Also on the card is Hawaiian-born Chicago native Keoki Cypriano facing off against Chicago-based fighter Eric Kriegermeier in a lightweight battle.
Shonie is always good for a show but it’s hard to see Torrance Taylor as a worthy opponent. Still, from a “bang for your buck” perspective it’s hard to beat Bellator. Their shows constantly bring a high level of excitement and you’re usually guaranteed to see some good fights.
In the main card more of Bellator’s tournament action will take place.
