Campos has also started off this year on the right foot as he earned a big win over Derek Anderson at Bellator 170 earlier this year. He will enter the Bellator cage for the 12th time. Having won nine of his last 12 contests, Campos is looking to avenge his earlier loss to “Pitbull” over three years ago at Bellator 117. Campos will also enter the bout riding a three-fight winning streak, which includes victories over Melvin Guillard and Anderson.

The event takes place on Friday, July 14th. The prelims will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App while the main card will air live and free on Spike at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT.

Derek Anderson Feels no Bellator Lightweight Deserves Title Shot More Than Him

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5AKEJGdDn4

Tomorrow night (Jan. 21) lightweight Derek Anderson will step inside the Bellator cage for the eighth time. Sharing the cage with him will be Derek Campos. “The Barbaric” last fought against Saad Awad back in August. He won the fight by unanimous decision.

Anderson spoke to MMAWeekly.com and he sounded confident in his ability to not only defeat Campos, but also capture the lightweight title:

“Whatever I want to do, it’s my fight. I always (like) to strike, and (Campos has) got some holes there I feel I can capitalize on. It’s a good one for me. He’s a tough guy, and not to take any credit from him, but I’m staying right here at lightweight now to get that belt.”

If Anderson gets past Campos, he will be on a three-fight winning streak. He is determined to get the gold currently held by Michael Chandler.

“Hopefully I can get my title shot. There’s no other lightweight that deserves it more than me. If somebody wants a shot, they’ve got to come through me. I’ll fight anybody at any time. I’m a fighter – this is what I do – and I get better the more I fight, so let’s go.”

Bellator 170 will be headlined by a grudge match between Tito Ortiz and Chael Sonnen.

On Wednesday, Bellator MMA announced the final two bouts scheduled for their upcoming Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen event in January.

Added to the Bellator 170 show, which goes down live from The Forum in Los Angeles, California, airing live and free on Spike TV, is a lightweight contest pitting Derek Campos (17-6) against Derek Anderson (14-2) and a female flyweight bout between Rebecca Ruth (6-2) and Colleen Schneider (10-7) is also now official.

Bellator MMA issued the following press release regarding the finalization of what will arguably be their biggest event of all-time.

LIGHTWEIGHT BOUT PITTING DEREK CAMPOS AGAINST DEREK ANDERSON COMPLETES EPIC MAIN CARD AT ‘BELLATOR 170’ IN LOS ANGELES ON JANUARY 21

REBECCA RUTH-COLLEEN SCHNEIDER FLYWEIGHT SHOWDOWN ADDED TO PRELIMINARY CARD

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — (December 28, 2016) – The stacked main card of “Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” has added even more ammo to its arsenal with the news that Derek Campos (17-6) and Derek Anderson (14-2, 1 NC) will compete in a lightweight feature fight on January 21, 2017 inside The Forum in Los Angeles, Calif. In addition, a female flyweight bout pitting Rebecca Ruth (6-2) against Colleen Schneider (10-7) has been added to the preliminary portion of the event.

The lightweight clash joins a main card that is highlighted by a legendary faceoff between superstars Tito Ortiz (18-12-1) and Chael Sonnen (28-14-1). In addition, Ralek Gracie (3-0) and Hisaki Kato (7-2) will meet in a middleweight feature fight, while Georgi Karakhanyan (26-6-1) and Emmanuel Sanchez (13-3) battle. Lastly, a fantastic welterweight co-main event pitting Paul Daley (38-14-2) against Brennan Ward (14-4) is also set for the Spike-televised main card.

Limited tickets for the mega-event start at $36 and are on sale at Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com. The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT. The “Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” undercard, streams live on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App beginning at 6:50 p.m. ET / 3:50 p.m. PT.

Campos enters the bout riding a recent string of success, as the 28-year-old lightweight put together a flawless 2016 campaign that included a pair of noteworthy victories over Djamil Chan and Melvin Guillard. “The Stallion” continues to provide entertaining fights, as the Lubbock, Texas native has finished opponents in 10 of his 17 victories, including five knockouts and three of the first-round variety. Campos will be searching for his first three-fight winning streak under the Bellator MMA umbrella since 2013.

Following an explosive start to his professional career, collecting victories in 11 of his first 12 bouts, including one no-contest, Anderson has continued his success under the direction of Bellator MMA. Since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2013, “The Barbaric” has tallied five impressive wins, highlighted by two knockouts and a pair of victories over Patricky Freire. Hailing from San Diego, Calif., Anderson has finished 11 of his 14 victims, and will not have to travel far as he prepares for number 12. With back-to-back victories over the aforementioned Freire and most recently Saad Awad at “Bellator 160,” Anderson has quickly entered the mix as one of the division’s top contenders. The 26-year-old lightweight will now look to take down the Bellator MMA veteran Campos and add yet another big name to his admirable resume.

The 37-year-old Ruth will be making her third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and first of her 2017 campaign, following a year in which she earned her first promotional victory over Ukrainian submission specialist Lena Ovchynnikova. Prior to joining the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2016, “Ruthless” strung together an impressive 5-1 record to begin her career, including five knockout victories and three first round finishes. With wins in four of her last five contests, Ruth will look to start the year off on the right foot and add to her already impressive MMA resume.

The recently signed Schneider will be making her Bellator MMA debut on Jan. 21, as she also enters the contest having won four of her last five bouts. With six of her 10 career wins coming by way of knockout or submission, look for Schneider to attack early and often in a flyweight clash that features two of the more dangerous opponents in the division. Standing at 5’9”, the 34-year-old Schneider will hold a significant height advantage over the veteran Ruth, who stands about five inches shy of the former Invicta FC product. Hailing from Los Angeles, Calif., Schneider will also not have to travel far for this incredible event, as the hometown crowd will surely be pulling for “Thoroughbred” at Inglewood’s famous Forum.

Ruth and Schneider will join a preliminary card that features the promotional debuts of Kevin Casey (9-5-1, 2 NC) and Jack May (8-3), as well as the return of Chinzo Machida (4-2), Henry Corrales (12-3), Guilherme “Bomba” (8-3), and Cody Bollinger (19-6).
