Bellator MMA continues to bolster its roster, which now has in excess of 180 fighters, and this past week it added several more key names to the promotion’s lineup. Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou (14-12 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), Tom DeBlass (9-2 MMA, 2-0 BMMA), Malik Merad (19-11 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), Dmitriy Sosnovskiy (8-0 MMA, 0-0 BMMA) and Steve Garcia (3-0 MMA, 1-0 BMMA) have signed deals with the company, Bellator announced. Sokoudjou will make his promotional debut next month at Bellator 121, the first event of its 2014 “Summer Series,” against Terry Davinney (10-6 MMA, 1-0 BMMA). A select few fighters in MMA history can claim one-name recognition, but Sokoudjou is one of those fighters. “The African Assassin” has fought all over the world, and has fought for the UFC, WEC, PRIDE, Strikeforce and Affliction, among many others.
