DARRION CALDWELL SUPLEXES, KVALER SIN VEJ TIL HOVEDBEGIVENHEDSSEJR PÅ 'BELLATOR 151’ ON SPIKE
Fuldstændig begivenhedsbilleder her
THACKERVILLE, OK. (Marts 4, 2016) - Det er sikkert at sige Darrion Caldwell (9-0) hævdede sig selv som en legitim titelkandidat med sin sejr over Joe Warren (13-5) i de vigtigste tilfælde af “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” på fredag nat foran et udsolgt publikum på WinStar Resort and Casino.
Som mange forventede, kampen nåede hurtigt på måtten, med “Ulven” tage de selverklærede ned “Den dårligste mand på planeten” og initiering af en sekvens af jord-og-pund-forseelser. Efter at Warren kom på fode igen, den tidligere NC State wrestler sænkede Warren og sank i en nøgen choke bagfra — som Warren nægtede at trykke på — tvinger dommer Dan Miragliotta til at vinke af kampen kl 3:23 af runde én.
Efter den tekniske aflevering sejr, Caldwell gjorde god brug af sin tid på mikrofonen med farvekommentator Jimmy Smith, kalder den nuværende bantamvægtmester Marcos Galvao, bare sige: “F*k dig [Marcos] Galvao, du er en p*ssy.” Det er ni sejre i træk for den tidligere NCAA-mester for at begynde sin mixed martial arts-karriere, tre sejre siden overgangen fra fjervægt til bantamvægt. I mellemtiden, Warren er nu faldet to ud af tre og vil ikke få et skud på vinderen af Galvao og Eduardo Dantas når de endelig mødes.
I aftenens co-main event, Fernando Gonzalez (25-13) forlængede sin sejrsrække til fem på bekostning af Gilbert Smith (12-5), vinder med en delt beslutning (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). Nedtagningerne var sandsynligvis forskellen på dommerne’ scorecards, men begge kæmpere havde deres øjeblikke i løbet af 15 minutter. Gonzalez rykker nu endnu tættere på et skud på titlen på 170 pund, eller et matchup med Michael Page, som oprindeligt skulle stå over for “Den Menifee Maniac” før du trækker dig tilbage. Fremtiden for divisionen vil være meget klarere efterfølgende “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” April 22, når Benson Henderson udfordringer Andrey Koreshkov til weltervægt bælte.
Yamauchi op (19-3) kom i sin kamp imod Bubba Jenkins (11-2) rider på en bølge af momentum efter tre sejre i træk, men Arizona State wrestling-standout brugte sin verdensklasses grappling til at neutralisere Yamauchis slående og jiu-jitsu dygtighed. Den 23-årige japanske konkurrent tog ryggen af Jenkins i løbet af første runde og sikrede sig næsten en armstang sent i sidste runde, men “The Highlight Kid's” effektiv grappling var forskellen, opnår den enstemmige beslutning (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins har nu vundet tre kampe i træk siden hans januar 2015 tab til Georgi Karakhanyan.
Under åbningen af hovedkortkonkurrencen kl “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell,” Sirwan Kakai (12-4) droppede sin første kamp under Bellator MMA-banneret til Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) via enstemmig afgørelse (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Det så ud som om “Baby Joe” skulle afslutte konkurrencen tidligt - synke i en Anaconda Choke inden overgangen til en dyb guillotine - men “Zohan” klarede stormen og blev hængende i de sidste ti minutter, selv skabe nogle lyspunkter i tredje og sidste runde. I sidste ende, dommerne’ bursiden tildelte Guam-indfødte sin tredje sejr i træk og sendte Kakai tilbage til tegnebrættet.

FIGHTERS HOPE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE CAGE AT NEF 22
Lewiston, Maine (Marts 4, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil afholde sit næste arrangement, “NEF 22: Alle veje fører HER” på Lørdag, April 23, 2016 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) og professionelle boksekampe. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” Kampen kort. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (2-1) mødes Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) på en kamp vægt på 150 pounds.
Lewiston’s Matt Denning is coming off the first loss of his professional career this past November against Jon Lemke (5-4). Prior to that defeat, Denning was riding a four-fight win streak, all four of those wins coming by way of submission. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Denning acknowledges personal issues have existed in the past between he and Harvey, culminating in a cageside confrontation between the two athletes at the close of “NEF XV” i efteråret 2014.
“I’m honored to have been asked specifically for this fight,” sagde Denning. “Josh is the 155 ammy champ and is an amazing fighter. I’m excited to watch him continue his career as a pro and move up to the top of the professional rankings. We had some personal issues between the two of us because of a poor decision I made, and I hope with us fighting it will clear the air and I’ll be able to cross train with him and Young’s MMA. We gotta give the fans what they want and this is what they wanted. I look forward to seeing everyone April 23rd.”
The bout will indeed be the professional debut for Harvey after an amateur career in which he went 5-1. He is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, a title which he will now vacate as a professional. Harvey capped off his amateur stint with a highlight reel knockout over Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-4), a victory that solidified his position as the northeast region’s top-ranked amateur lightweight. Harvey is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. He recently signed a long-term NEF developmental deal.
“I’m feeling blessed to be a signed professional cage fighter,” Said Harvey. “I’m one step closer to my goal and April 23rd I’ll take another. I’ve wanted a chance to fight ‘Ken Doll’ ever since I met him – he is just one of those guys. I’m thankful for the opportunity.”
“One thing is very clear in this matchup – Josh and Matt don’t like each other,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “There is some deep, pent-up frustration that has been percolating between these two for a long time – and on April 23rd, the cork comes out. It’s going to be spectacular.”

Chuy gutierrez & Leon Spinks III: You will know my name!
Judah vs. Torres headlines “Knockout Night at the D”
Hav. 12 live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas
|
LAS VEGAS (Marts 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star Chuy “El Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 KOS) and his March 12th modstander, Leon “The Third Generation” Spinks III(11-3-1, 7 KOS), are both looking to make their own mark in their 8-round “Knockout Night at the D” co-feature. Gutierrez is seeking to expand his marquee on a national level, while Spinks attempts to shine on his own terms despite his spotlight catching last name.
Fem-tid, to division verdensmester Zab “Super” Juda (42-9, 29 KOS) tager påJosh “Pitbull” Torres (15-4-2, 7 KOS), in the 10-round main event of the inaugural show of the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, luftning (8 p.m. PT / 11 p.m. OG) lever videre CBS Sports Network from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (DLVEC).
Præsenteret af D Las Vegas and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, den “Knockout Night at the D” serie’ inaugural event Hav. 12 will take place inside the DLVEC’s 20,000-square-foot tent, located in the heart of the downtown Las Vegas casino district, one block away from the world famous Fremont Street (200 S. 3rd St.).
The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 KOS), kæmper ud af Las Vegas, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12th is scheduled to be his coming out party on a national stage. He’s rapidly become a fan favorite in Las Vegas because of his exciting, aggressive style of fighting. Chuy’s ready to spread his wings, now being showcased fighting on national television, and expand his growing fan-base.
Born in the fertile boxing town of Sinaloa, Mexico, which produced Hall of Famer Julio Cesar Chavez, Sr., blandt mange andre, Gutierrez is making up for lost time. He was a baseball prospect who didn’t box until he was 21. “I played sports in high school, baseball was my first love, and I dreamed of becoming a big leaguer,” Gutierrez said. “Boxing found me. I was attending college at Southern Nevada and working, but the first day I walked into Johnny Tocco’s gym, I fell in love with boxing. I’ve watched so many greats train there and I learned a lot from them.”
“I have a lot of respect for Spinks, but I’m just fighting the man, not his family. His grandfather was world champion, but I’m not fighting his grandfather. I’m excited to be fighting him on CBS Sports Network.”
Spinks (11-3-1, 7 KOS), who fights out of Huntington Beach, F.EKS, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 OL-guldvinder, “Neon” Leon Spinks, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 OL-guldvinder, Michael Spinks. And young Leon, der vendte 28 this past Valentine’s Day, is also the nephew of former 2-division world champion Cory Spinks.
His familiar last name in boxing has been a blessing, albeit one that has also put a lot of pressure on Leon. “Things have always been that way (tryk) because I’m named after my grandfather, ‘Pops,'” Leon III explained. “From the beginning of my pro career, I was put in tough fights because of my name, just tough fights…real wars.
“I got to 8-0 but that hurt me because I couldn’t get good fights. But I’ve always really been my own man. This is a very, meget, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”
