In aggiunta, un leggero faceoff pitting Yamauchi up (19-3) contro Ryan Couture (10-4) completa la scheda principale trasmessa da SPIKE. Anche la prima di quella che sarà una carta preliminare impilata è ufficiale, con la notizia che Ricky "The Sniper" Rainey (11-4) si batterà Gilbert "Chocolate Thunder" Smith (12-5).

Da quando ho firmato con Bellator MMA, il calmo e sottomesso Kato non è stato altro che bruciatori assoluti del fienile una volta chiusa la porta della gabbia. Gli avvincenti combattimenti hanno persino superato le iterazioni degli sport da combattimento, quando a "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 2 " Kato fece girare un pugno all'indietro che si fermò Joe Schilling nelle sue tracce, il secondo posto in altrettante mete per "The Japanese Musketeer" contro "Stitch Em’ Up ". Attualmente situato in Francia, il 33enne ha avuto finora una gara di MMA 2016, fermando Yuta Watanabe ad aprile.

Quando non sta viaggiando per il mondo nel tentativo di imparare tutto quello che c'è da sapere sulle diverse discipline di arti marziali, Matthews sta mettendo alla prova le sue abilità sotto l'ombrello di Bellator MMA. Un veterano di Strikeforce, "The Mercenary" ha allacciato i guanti sette volte in precedenza per la promozione di proprietà di Viacom, fermando il suo avversario in tutte le sue vittorie tranne una. Si è formato principalmente presso Alliance MMA per tutta la sua carriera, Matthews ha trascorso gran parte del suo tempo negli ultimi tempi in Thailandia, anche fare un incontro di Muay Thai prima dell'incontro Ben Reiter a "Bellator 156: Galvao vs.. Dantas 2. "

A soli 23 anni di età, Yamauchi è uno dei migliori giovani talenti nello sport delle MMA oggi. Prima di entrare a far parte di Bellator MMA, lo specialista di sottomissione giapponese ha accumulato un insondabile 14-1 record con 11 presentazioni e un knockout. Dalla fusione con la promozione guidata da Scott Coker, Yamauchi ha messo insieme un promettente marchio di 5-2 con tre proposte di soffocamento a nudo posteriore. Del suo 19 carriera vince, 15 sono venuti in via di presentazione, mentre nessun avversario è ancora riuscito a finire il fantomatico combattente. Yamauchi ora salterà nella classe di peso e si unirà alla divisione dei pesi leggeri per uno scontro con uno dei cognomi più leggendari in MMA, Couture.

Noto a molti come figlio dell'ex campione del mondo Randy Couture, Ryan ha fatto 14 apparizioni professionali durante la sua carriera, tutto si è svolto sotto le luci brillanti di una promozione nazionale come Strikeforce o Bellator MMA. Residente a Las Vegas, il 34enne specialista di sottomissione entra nella gabbia dopo aver vinto quattro dei suoi ultimi cinque concorsi, con ciascuna delle sue vittorie arrivate attraverso la sottomissione allo strozzo. Sebbene ci sia una notevole differenza di età tra il suo avversario, Yamauchi ha fatto il suo debutto professionale solo due mesi dopo Couture, nell'ottobre del 2010. Sintonizzati su SPIKE su Ottobre 21 per vedere quale centrale elettrica leggera Bellator MMA emergerà vittoriosa.

Las Vegas (Sette. 16) – The first Las Vegas born world champion, È “Zucchero Shay” Fabbro (29-8, 12 KO) defeated Frank “Famigerato” Galarza (17-2-2, 11 KO) via majority decision in his hometown from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas in the main event of Premier Boxing Champions (PBC): La rotonda successiva su rimbalzo TV.
“I had to dig deep. This was the first time in a very long time I had to dig deep,” said Smith of his victory. “They kept telling me in my corner that its was close. He came to win, but in the end I got the victory.”
Smith and Galarza used the first round to feel each other out, but the action picked up in the second as Smith threw a straight right hand that dropped Galarza to the canvas.
“He caught me off balance and it turned out to be a knockdown. I think that made the difference in the whole fight honestly.”
Galarza came back swinging in the fourth, pressing Smith against the ropes with a tight combination of punches. Smith controlled the fifth round throwing hard blows to the body of Galarza followed by a hard left hook to end the round. The tides turned in the seventh round as Galarza pinned Smith against the ropes with a flurry of body punches. But it was the tenth and final round that sealed a win for Smith as he land punch after punch. Judges saw the bout 95-95, 96-93 e 95-94.
“Young guys feel like I’m old. They like to apply pressure, but I set him up with the traps. I got comfortable in the middle rounds he turned it up a gear and applied pressure I wasn’t ready for,” continued Smith. “It took me a round or two to get adjusted, once I got adjusted I thought I did real well and was able to close the show. I was surprised in the 95-95 e 95-94, I was thinking wow if I didn’t get that knockdown it may have swayed his way for the victory.
“Training with the best like Floyd, Bernard Hopkins, it has allowed me to learn. I have learned so much from the greatest fighter in the world, and pick up something from each of them. I am thankful I was able to pick up a lot along the way in my career.”
Galarza felt as though he had to do much more to get the win.
“I’m in his hometown, Vegas, its his promotion. Those little slip ups were going to cost me the fight. I had to be active, be in his chest, rimanere occupato. There were moments where I was doing that, but I let some of it go at times.
“I think the knockdown made me want to press on the gas and start pushing. He is awkward. He’s wide. He’s all over the place and I didn’t want to get hit with any silly punches.
“Succede. It’s one of those things where we have to go back to the drawing board and we will be back at it again.”
The co-main event featured a pair of super welterweight prospects that produced exciting two-way action from the first bell. Detroit’s Domonique Dolton (17-1-1, 9 KO) stalked Justin Deloach around the ring, but it was Augusta, Georgia’s Justin DeLoach’s (16-1, 8 KO) superior boxing ability and effective counterpunching that made the difference. Midway through the fight, a wide cut opened on the bridge of Dolton’s nose, providing an extra target for DeLoach.
“The cut was from a prior fight, and I just wanted to get back in the ring as soon as possible,” said Dolton. “Allowing him to get so many shots in, opened the cut. I can’t blame anyone but myself in this fight.”
“I am disappointed in my performance; I didn’t fight a smart fight. I fought his fight, I wasn’t using my mind in this fight. I was looking for that big shot. Trying to set up a shot the whole fight that I lost sight and didn’t fight smart. I should have been using my jab more, when I had the opportunity to go in on him, I didn’t take it like I should have. Overall I just need to continue what Im doing and get back to my training.
Despite the unanimous decision win where the judges scored the bout 96-94, 98-92 e 99-91, DeLoach also was unimpressed with his own performance.
“I made it way tougher for myself than I should have. I should have used my legs more and listened to my corner,” said DeLoach. “I am not satisfied with my performance even though I got the W.I didn’t stay focused enough. Domonique is a tough opponent and I should have stuck to the game plan.
“I’m not going to call out any names because I’m just not happy with my performance,” continued DeLoach. “I am going to be back in the gym il Lunedi and work on the things I need to fix before thinking about fighting again.”
The opening bout of the telecast saw Jose Cayetano (20-4, 9 KO) kick off Mexican Independence Day Weekend with a lot to celebrate. The Tijuana native defeated 25-year-old Alexis Santiago (21-3-1, 8 KO) tramite decisione unanime, ending the Phoenix-native’s 10-fight win streak. The 10-round super bantamweight bout started slow, but the action picked up in the fifth when Cayetano connected with a sharp right hook, causing Santiago to buckle, but not fall.
At the start of the bell in the seventh round, Santiago forced Cayetano against the ropes, throwing a flurry of punches. Santiago landed a hard right hook mid-way through the ninth round, causing the largely pro-Santiago crowd to cheer. The fight finished strong with both fighters swinging for the fences, exchanging hard blows bringing the crowd to their feet. 97-93, 96-94 2X.
“Santiago started out strong but as the rounds went on, he got less and less so,” said Cayetano. “The fifth round was when I knew I really had him and it continued from there. Even though he landed some shots, he never hurt me.
“I want to fight Leo Santa Cruz in a rematch next. That is the fight I really want. Two Mexican warriors at it again.”
“This was the worst performance of my career,” ha affermato Santiago. “I could have done everything better. I wasn’t able to find myself during the fight. I usually am able to, but this time it was hard for me.”

Lascia un commento

 

SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Settembre 15, 2016) – Bellator MMA is elated to announce the signing of Chael Sonnen (28-14-1), ad un esclusivo pluriennale, contratto pluriennale lotta.

 

By signing with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Sonnen effectively ends his retirement from professional mixed martial arts and he will now enter the 205-pound division championed by Liam McGeary, tra gli altri.

 

“I’m consistently blown away by the product and presentation that Bellator is bringing to the fans,” said Sonnen. “I’m not nearly done competing and I’m coming after everyone, everywhere. I’m not sticking to one weight class either, I fight at ‘Gangster Weight’ and nobody is safe.”

 

Sonnen has spent a vast majority of his 43-fight career with the UFC, a run where he competed against names the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (2x), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia, Brian Stann, and current middleweight champion Michael Bisping. In addition to his exploits inside the cage, the West Linn, Ore., native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, doing major broadcasting work for both ESPN and Fox Sports.

 

“Chael is an incredible athlete that has competed at the very highest levels of the sport,"Ha dichiarato Bellator MMA presidente Scott Coker, “I know that he is going to continue to do just that here at Bellator. When we were in the process of signing him, Chael was adamant that he wants to compete in three divisions here. He already has unfinished business with Wanderlei Silva, but he also wants to fight guys like Tito Ortiz, Fedor Emelianenko and even Rory MacDonald at middleweight. These are all fights that I’d be very inclined to watch, so hopefully we can put some, if not all of these matchups together starting before the end of the year.”
