DARRION CALDWELL SUPLEXES, CHOKES HIS WAY TO MAIN EVENT VICTORY AT ‘BELLATOR 151’ אויף נאָגל
טהאַקקערוויללע, גוט. (מאַרץ 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say דאַרריאָן קאָלדוועל (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over דזשאָו וואָראַן (13-5) אין די הויפּט געשעעניש פון “בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell” אויף פרייטאג night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.
As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, מיט “The Wolf” taking down the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” and initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked choke — that Warren refused to tap to — forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 פון קייַלעכיק איינער.
Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Marcos גאַלוואַאָ, simply saying: “F*ck you [Marcos] גאַלוואַאָ, you’re a p*ssy.” That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. דערווייַל, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Eduardo דאַנטאַס when they do finally meet.
In the co-main event of the evening, פערנאַנדאָ גאָנזאַלעז (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of גילבערט סמיט (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 מינוט. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with מיכאל Page, who was originally slated to face “די מעניפעע מאַניאַק” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “בעללאַטאָר 153: קאָרעשקאָוו ווס. Henderson” אַפּריל 22, ווען בענסאָן הענדערסאָן challenges אַנדריי קאָרעשקאָוו for the welterweight belt.
יאַמאַוטשי אַרויף (19-3) came into his fight against באַבאַ דזשענקינס (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, אָבער “The Highlight Kid’s” effective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 אָנווער צו געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן.
During the opening main card contest at “בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell,” סירוואַן קאַקאַי (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) דורך יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “Baby Joe” was going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — but “Zohan” weathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. אין די סוף, די ריכטער’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

I AM A FIGHTER: דזשוליאַן ווילליאַמס
פאָטאָ קרעדיט: Amanda Westcott/SHOWTIME
From a single parent household in West Philadelphia, life has always been tough for Julian Williams. At a young age, he was constantly getting into fights with his brothers and at school, until he set foot in the gym at age 12 and unveiled his love for boxing. Williams has set his goals high and is determined to set records and break barriers while giving his all on each on of his fights.
“Each fight, I just want to be better than the last fight and I’m on the cusp of being a contender and getting the title shot. When I win the title, I want to break the title defense record which is held by Terry Norris. I want to go down as the best junior middleweight to ever lace up a pair of gloves.”
Check out this I AM A FIGHTER feature on Julian Williams, the undefeated super welterweight who is up against Marcello Matano in an IBF Super Welterweight Eliminator bout מאָרגן night in the main event of SHOWTIME BOXING: SPECIAL EDITION, לעבן אויף שאָוטיים (10 פּ.ם. און/פּט, דילייד אויף די מערב קאָוסט).
FIGHTERS HOPE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE CAGE AT NEF 22
לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 4, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. מאַט “קען ליאַלקע” דענינג (2-1) וועט טרעפן דזשאָש “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) בייַ אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 150-פונט.
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 (קמבדזשדזש). 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 “נעף קסוו” in the fall of 2014.
“I’m honored to have been asked specifically for this fight,” האט דעננינג. “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, מיין. He recently signed a long-term NEF developmental deal.
“I’m feeling blessed to be a signed professional cage fighter,” האט האַרוויי. “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.”

CAPE COD GETS ITS FIRST MMA CAGEFIGHTING EVENT; BATTLES & LAMONTE TO MAKE PRO DEBUTS
Hyannis, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ (מאַרץ 4, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, announced today that it will bring Cape Cod its first-ever mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) event this spring. די געשעעניש, ענטייטאַלד “נעף 23: NEF CAGES THE CAPE,” will take place on מייַ 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC) in Hyannis, מאַססאַטשוסעטץ. Both professional and amateur MMA bouts will be presented that evening.
צו דאַטע, NEF has held twenty-two events, a mix of MMA and boxing shows, in the state of Maine. The promotion was formed in 2012 by business partners Nick DiSalvo and Matt Peterson. NEF has a reputation of putting on action-packed events in venues filled with thousands of rabid fight fans. The promotion has a large, dedicated fan base unmatched by any of its competitors on the regional level. איבער די יאָרן, NEF’s cage has played host to UFC veterans such as Marcus Davis (22-11) and two-time UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia (31-10), צווישן אנדערע. NEF co-promoted a nationally-televised event with Bellator in the spring of 2013. Its fight highlights have been featured prominently on AXS TV, TUFF TV and the “World’s Greatest Knockouts” אויף ספּייק טעלעוויזיע.
“The NEF brand is expanding,” noted DiSalvo. “Cape Cod is hungry for an MMA event. I’m surprised it’s taken this long to happen with so many great teams located in the area. NEF is honored to be the first to present an MMA show on the Cape.”
One MMA team whose fighters will be featured prominently on the מייַ 14 card will be Hyannis-based Team Juniko.
“This show will be the first MMA show on Cape Cod in Team Juniko’s backyard,” remarked Team Juniko coach Mike Gresh. “Congrats NEF!”
Gresh is a longtime, respected leader in the New England MMA community. Two of his team’s members have been confirmed as making their professional debuts on מייַ 14 – ערין “ון גרייס” Lamonte and Brendan “Lockdown” Battles.
Scituate’s Erin Lamonte put together a perfect 6-0 record as an amateur competitor. She is coming off back-to-back submission victories in Lewiston, מיין.
“I cannot wait for NEF to come to the Cape,” exclaimed Lamonte. “All but one of my fights have been out of state, so I am so excited to fight in front of all my family and friends in my own backyard! צי ניט פאַרפירן עס. May 14th ‘Fun Size’ goes pro and makes her presence known in the women’s straweight division!”
Brendan Battles is a native of nearby Eastham, Massachusetts where he was a three-time All-American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. Battles won two state championships and three New England regional championships while amassing a total of 161 wins over the course of his high school wrestling career. שפּעטער, Battles played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut.
“It’s an honor to fight down the street from my hometown and the gym where I train,” said Battles. “It gives me the chills to fight my very first professional fight on my home turf, with my family, פריינט, and all who supports me to see the work I’ve put in and the fighter I have evolved into at this point of my career.”

Mad Integrity Fight Sports returns with “Bombs Away 5” April 2!
טאַמפּאַ, פל (מאַרץ 3, 2016) – Joey Orduna’s Mad Integrity Fight Sports returns to the beautiful Hilton Bayfront Hotel in St. פעטערבורג, FL for “Bombs Away 5: Turf Wars” שבת, אַפּריל 2.
טיקקעץ פון $35 זענען אויף פאַרקויף איצט דורך פאַך 813-507-5110.
Returning to St. Pete’s for the first time in nearly three years, Mad Integrity Fight Sports ran two highly successful cards at the Hilton Bayfront which featured future TV fighters Amos Cowart and Clarence Booth.
Headlining the card is an eight round Sunshine State showdown between popular welterweight Ali Tareh of Tampa and Jacksonville’s Juan Aguirre. Tareh, who has fought all but three of his professional bouts in Florida, has a 13-11-5 ledger with 5 ווינס דורך נאַקאַוט. The owner of Fight Fitness Center in nearby Pinellas Park, Tareh has won four of his last six bouts but is coming off a decision loss to Javier Garcia last July. Originally from Guatemala, Aguirre has a reputation for his fearlessness and incredible durability. אין זיין רובֿ פריש קאַמף, Aguirre extended unbeaten prospect Armando Alvarez the distance while making him work from bell to bell.
Talented featherweight Jose “Lil Pacquiao” Resendez, 4-0 (2 קאָ ס), of Brandon, FL returns to the ring against crafty Cuban Raul Chirino, 7-1 (3 קאָ ס), in the highly-anticipated co-feature. A mirror image of boxing legend Manny Pacquiao, Resendez is fighting for the first time since December 2014. The Resindez-Chirino bout is scheduled for six rounds and expected to steal the show.
Undefeated Armando “The Gentleman” Alvarez, 8-0 (4 קאָ ס), will trek north from Miami, FL to battle Tampa’s Lee “Holliwood” Dawson a six round welterweight contest. Alvarez is a talented boxer-puncher with a loyal fan base that follows him wherever he fights while Dawson will look to make it five straight without a defeat.
אין פיר קייַלעכיק באָוץ, hard-hitting St. Petersburg based Ukrainian Victor Kulakovski (4-2) meets fellow Floridian Paulie Simpson (2-1) of Tampa in the junior middleweight division, Tampa’s Rafael Rivera (1-1) squares off against New Port Richey, FL’s Michael Guillen (1-0) in a lightweight matchup and Pensacola, FL’s Beden Laurent (2-3) challenges Miami’s Serge Cadeus (1-1) at super middleweight.

“We’re excited to be back in St. Petersburg and I’d like to thank the staff at the Bayfront for making this a reality, said Joey Orduna. “In return, we’re providing them with an outstanding local-themed fight card that everybody will definitely enjoy. I’m expecting another great crowd with fans from all across the Sunshine State come אַפּריל 2נד."

Chuy Gutierrez & Leon Spinks III: You will know my name!
Judah vs. Torres headlines “Knockout Night at the D”
יאַם. 12 live on CBS Sports Network from DLVEC in Las Vegas
|
לאַס וועגאַס (מאַרץ 3, 2016) – Rising star lightweight star Chuy “El Huracan” Gutierrez(14-0-1, 4 קאָס) and his March 12טה קעגנער, לעאן “The Third Generation” Spinks III(11-3-1, 7 קאָס), are both looking to make their own mark in their 8-round “Knockout Night at the D” גלויבנס-שטריך. 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.
פינף-צייַט, צוויי אָפּטייל וועלט מייַסטער Zab “יבער” יהודה (42-9, 29 קאָס) נעמט אויףדזשאָש “פּיטבולל” Torres (15-4-2, 7 קאָס), in the 10-round main event of the inaugural show of the new monthly pro boxing series, “Knockout Night at the D”, ערינג (8 פּ.ם. פּט / 11 פּ.ם. און) לעבן אויף קבס ספורט נעטוואָרק from the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center (דלוועק).
דערלאנגט דורך די ד לאַס וועגאַס and promoted Englebrecht Promotions, די “Knockout Night at the D” סעריע’ inaugural event יאַם. 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 ז. 3rd St.).
The 27-year-old Gutierrez (14-0-1, 4 קאָס), פייטינג אויס פון לאַס וועגאַס, is ready to make a name for himself and Mar. 12טה 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, מעקסיקא, which produced Hall of Famer דזשוליאָ Cesar טשאַוועז, מר, צווישן פילע אנדערע, 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 קאָס), who fights out of Huntington Beach, אַזאַ ווי, is not only the grandson of former world heavyweight champion and 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, “Neon” לעאן ספּינקס, his great uncle is world light heavyweight and heavyweight champion, in addition to being a 1976 אָלימפּיק גאָלד מעדאַליסט, מיכאל ספּינקס. And young Leon, ווער זיך 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 (דרוק) 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, זייער, very big event for me, my family will be in the house supporting me.”
