BELLATOR MMA FORECASTS ‘STORM’ AT MEMPHIS’ FEDEXFORUM ON OCT. 21, WHEN ALEXANDER SHLEMENKO RETURNS TO FACE KENDALL GROVE

Laat een reactie achter

BOBBY LASHLEY LOOKS TO SOLIDIFY HIMSELF AS TOP BELLATOR HEAVYWEIGHT AGAINST JOSH APPELT

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Augustus 29, 2016) – On Oct. 21, Bellator MMA will come to FedExForum in Memphis, Tenn., when the Scott Coker-led promotion presents a card headlined by the return of former middleweight champion Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko (53-9), die voldoet aan Kendall Grove(23-15) in middengewicht actie.

Bovendien, during the card’s co-main event, the always-exciting former WWE superstar Bobby Lashley (14-2) voldoet aan Josh Appelt (12-5) in zwaargewicht actie.

Tickets for the event go on sale September 2 bij Bellator.com, Ticketmaster of FedExForum Box Office. Bellator Nation (www.bellator.com/bellatornation) will have special access to a pre-sale offering from Augustus. 31-Zeven. 1. De actie met de hoofdkaart begint LIVE en GRATIS op SPIKE op 9 p.m. EN/8 p.m. CT and additional main card and undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

A former Bellator MMA Middleweight Champion, the “Storm” has kept busy, racking up a pair of wins already in 2016, and adding to his seemingly endless resume of victories since turning pro in 2004. A natural born finisher, Shlemenko’s success in MMA has also translated to coaching, as he’s played a pivotal role in the ascension of current Bellator MMA welterweight kingpin Andrey Koreshkov.

Also of note, due to Shlemenko’s recent suspension, Bellator officials have enlisted the services of The Mohegan Department of Athletic Regulation to administer drug tests before and after Shlemenko’s fight against Grove. The former middleweight champion is presently licensed with the Mohegan commission.

Fixated on getting another shot a Bellator’s middleweight title, Grove has strung together two emphatic stoppage wins since losing his bid to attain gold at"Bellator 137: Halsey vs. Grove. " De winnaar van “The Ultimate Fighter: 3" on SPIKE, the Maui, Hawaii, native has also been competing professionally for longer than a decade, racking up victories and a plethora of finishes along the way. An experienced Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt and Muay Thai practitioner, Shlemenko will need to be on his A-game when the two square off in the card’s main event on Oktober. 21.

Lashley is a must-see mixed martial artist, as well as professional wrestler, and will make his first appearance inside the Bellator cage in 2016 during the co-main event at FedExForum. “The Dominator” will be looking to run his current winning streak to eight fights, and five-straight finishes. With the heavyweight belt recently vacated, there’s an argument that can be made that the Aurora, Colo., native is the big man to beat in Bellator MMA’s heavyweight weight class.

Appelt was set to make his fifth appearance under the direction of Bellator MMA against Sergei Kharitonov bij "Bellator 154: Davis vs. Koning Mo," but after the 35-year-old Russian withdrew due to illness, Appelt was forced to wait. Nu, “The Juggernaut” is once again set to return, and again, the 33-year-old California native will have his hands full. With ten stoppages in 12 overwinningen, Appelt will look to use his striking ability to nullify the strong wrestling pedigree of Lashley.

Updated “Bellator MMA: Shlemenko vs. Grove ”hoofdkaart:

Middengewicht Main Event: Alexander Shlemenko (53-9) vs. Kendall Grove (23-15)

Zwaargewicht Co-Main Event: Bobby Lashley (14-2) vs. Josh Appelt (12-5)

GH3 Promotions tekent ongeslagen zwaargewicht Ray Edwards

Laat een reactie achter
Nutley, NJ (Augustus 29, 2016) – GH3 Promotions is vereerd de ondertekening van een ongeslagen zwaargewicht aan te kondigen Ray Edwards een exclusieve promotie-contract.
Edwards van Cincinnati, Ohio heeft een perfect teken van 11-0-1 met zeven knockouts.
Na een succesvolle carrière van zeven jaar als defensive end voor de Minnesota Vikings en Atlanta Falcons van de National Football League, Edwards heeft van professioneel boksen zijn fulltime beroep gemaakt.
De 31 De jarige Edwards werd eigenlijk professioneel May 20, 2011 toen de NFL-spelers waren verschanst in een lock-out.
“Ray heeft laten zien dat hij de fysieke middelen heeft om een ​​topzwaargewicht te worden,” zei Vito Mielnicki, CEO van GH3 Promotions.
“Hij heeft een hoop voordelen en met zwaargewichten, er is een kans om hier in de Verenigde Staten heel snel een ster te worden. Ik denk dat omdat hij op hoog niveau in de NFL heeft gestreden, hij heeft de kans om dat te doen in het boksen. We willen hem voor het einde van het jaar drie gevechten bezorgen. Hij is 6'6 255 lbs. en we zullen hem verplaatsen zoals de meeste zwaargewichten, stabiel maar goed en geen haast. Hij zal aan de top staan ​​als het tijd is. Hij is een klasse-act, goed gesproken en als hij in een kamer loopt, zie je zijn aanwezigheid.
“Ik heb altijd van boksen gehouden. Ik begon met sporten buiten het seizoen en vond het gewoon erg leuk,” zei Edwards.
In zijn profdebuut, Edwards won een unaniem besluit van vier ronden over Tyrone Gibson in Hinckley, Minnesota..
Edwards, die geen amateurgevecht hadden, heeft zijn oppositieniveau verhoogd en komt in augustus uit een tweede ronde op Steven Tyner 26 in Minneapolis.
“Het is een groot probleem voor mij om te tekenen bij GH3 Promotions,” vervolgde Edwards. “Vito Mielnicki heeft een goede stal met Antoine Douglas en Jerry Odom en dit is het type stap waar ik naar op zoek was.”
Omdat Edwards bekend stond om zijn bekwaamheid op het rooster, zijn overgang naar de ring werd niet serieus genomen.
“Er werd op mij neergekeken omdat ik een voetballer was. Ik heb het juiste team dat zal helpen bij het ontwikkelen van mijn stijl. Ik ben in het kamp geweest met (WBC zwaargewicht kampioen) Deontay Wilder en ik hielden mijn mannetje, en ik heb vertrouwen in mezelf.”
In wat hij denkt, kan zijn overstap van de NFL naar boksen kinderen overhalen om te gaan boksen, waar in het recente verleden, veel van de goede jonge atleten hebben voor andere sporten gekozen.
“Ik kan kinderen helpen gepassioneerd te zijn door boksen. Kinderen hebben zich niet toegewijd en hun ambachten geleerd. Mensen zien gewoon de eindproducten van vechters. Ik luister niet naar de negatieve opmerkingen en heb goede mensen om me heen.”
“Ik wil gewoon bezig blijven en blijven winnen. Laat me geweldig zijn. Binnen de tijd, mensen zullen het eindproduct zien.”
In wat spelen op het hoogste niveau van professionele sporten, hij kan boksen, Edwards merkt op, “Ik speelde verdedigingslinie en was gefocust op de bal. Dus ik heb geleerd dingen af ​​te stemmen. Het is die tunnelvisie die ervoor speelt 100,000 mensen, dat leer je. Niet naar de menigte luisteren en gefocust blijven.”
Op de vraag wat zijn voormalige NFL-broederschap vindt van zijn overstap naar boksen, Verklaarde Edwards, “Ik krijg nog steeds steun van mijn vrienden in de competitie. Ze vragen altijd wanneer en waar ik vecht, dus ik voel wanneer de gevechten meer bekendheid krijgen, Het zal heel groot worden.”

Zei Edwards-trainer Kennie Johnson, “Hij ontwikkelt zich tot een goed
vechter. We begonnen met een man met een geweldige fysieke aanwezigheid, maar hij is een snelle leerling geweest en nu is het tijd voor mensen om dat in te zien. Hij komt goed mee en als de concurrentie weer opkomt, we zullen zien dat hij een kwaliteitsjager is. Hij is de hardste werker die ik ooit heb gezien in de veertig jaar dat ik in de sport zit.”
Edwards wordt beheerd door Chances Aurelius, wie zei, “Vito Mielnicki is een goede kerel en ik ben blij om aan boord te zijn bij GH3 Promotions. Ik denk dat we samen grote dingen zullen doen.”

Edwards zal vechten September 15 tegen een te noemen tegenstander in Philadelphia. De wedstrijd wordt uitgezonden op CBS Sports Network.
GH3 Promotions is voorzien van middengewicht Antoine Douglas, Super middengewicht's Jerry Odom & Ronald Ellis, ongeslagen Super bantamgewicht Adam Lopez evenals Boxcino 2015 Jr. Middengewicht kampioen John Thompson, Jr., ongeslagen weltergewicht Kenneth Sims Jr., Jerrell Harris, Arturo Trujillo & Keenan Smith, Zwaargewicht Ray Edwards, Lichtgewicht O'Shaquie Foster, Jr. Lichtgewicht O'Shaquie Foster, Brent Venagas van bantamgewicht & LeRoy Davilla naar stal GH3 Promotions.

PROMOTER LEWKOWICZ SAYS PERALTA NO LONGER A CAB DRIVER AFTER HUGE UPSET VICTORY OVER ROBERT GUERRERO

Laat een reactie achter
Sampson Lewkowicz, promoter of suddenly red-hot welterweight David Emanuel “El Pirata” Peralta, says big changes are on the way for his cab-driving Argentinean fighter.
Op Zaterdag nacht, Peralta (26-2-1, 14 KO), een 70:1 underdog, came out of retirement to win a surprise 12-round split decision over former world champion Robert “The Ghost” Guerrero at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Californië.
The victory, televised nationally on PBC on Spike, has changed 33-year-old Peralta’s fortunes in the talent-rich welterweight division.
“He is no longer a cab driver,” laughed a happy Lewkowicz, post-fight. “David came out of retirement to take this fight when I offered it to him. Now his life will change. He will go back to being a full-time fighter and I will find him another big fight to win.”
Lewkowicz, credited with discovering Manny Pacquiao and Sergio “Zich afvragen” Martinez among many others, says his Argentinean fighter was taken lightly because he had never fought outside his homeland, but he knew what he could do.
“David is very talented fighter and very tough,” zei Lewkowicz. “We knew Guerrero was in a tough battle against him, but no one else did. And I thank the great champion Robert Guerrero for giving him the opportunity. He and his team have our utmost respect.”
Lewkowicz says he will get to work finding Peralta another big opportunity as soon as possible.
“You have to like David. He is very humble and honest and he fought his heart out and now everybody knows his name. He’s a special fighter and I’m very happy to be his promoter. He was only retired because he thought nothing would ever happen in his career. He’s back now and he’ll be in the gym full-time. His cab can wait. I will find him a big fight against another top contender and try to get him in line for a world title shot. Or if Robert Guerrero feels like he wants an immediate rematch, we would give it to him. He gave us the chance.”
