Perhaps no promotion did MMA as a spectacle better than Pride Fighting Championships . Now Bellator is taking a page from the now-defunct Japanese organization for its upcoming “Dynamite” event.The Scott Coker-led promotion announced on Thursday that popular former Pride FC voice Lenne Hardt will serve as ring announcer for the Sept. 19 event.Hardt, a voice actress, began working for Pride in 2000. When Zuffa purchased the promotion in 2007, Hardt took her talents to Dream , where she continued in the same role. Hardt’s unique delivery, which includes high pitched screeching and her trademark long rolling “R,” made her something of a cult favorite in the MMA world.Bellator 142 “Dynamite” takes place at the SAP Center in San Jose, Calif., and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship bout between Liam McGeary and Tito Ortiz . The event, which will feature an MMA cage and kickboxing ring in the same venue, also includes a four-man 205-pound tournament to determine the next title challenge.
