Click for fight highlights: Michael Chandler vs. 埃迪·阿爾瓦雷斯
SANTA MONICA, 加利福尼亞州. (二月 12, 2015) – When sifting through a list of Bellator MMA’s greatest fights, few names appear as often as “鐵”邁克爾·錢德勒 (14-3).
今天, Bellator MMA is proud to announce that Chandler will be continuing to compete for the promotion for the foreseeable future, with the news that the former 155-pound champion has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight extension to remain with the Scott Coker-led promotion.
“Michael Chandler is synonymous with our brand and doubles as an incredibly talented and exciting mixed martial artist,” said Bellator President 斯科特·科克爾. “Not every fighter or free agent aligns with our future plans, but when looking at Chandler’s resume, inking him to a long-term extension was a no-brainer. I look forward to getting him back in action as soon as possible.”
Chandler was also pleased with his extension, 說明: “I’m ecstatic to continue my career with Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. It’s obvious that good things are continuing to happen for this promotion and it’s correlating to big opportunities for myself as well,“錢德勒說. “I can’t wait to get back in action and test myself against some of these new guys coming in and move back up through the ranks. 一如既往, my eyes are on that belt, and it will be back around my waist soon.”
A 14-fight Bellator MMA veteran, Chandler has been a member of the Viacom-owned promotion since 2010. Prior to joining the Bellator ranks, the Missouri native competed for Strikeforce. Amongst his notable victories, Chandler bested Eddie Alvarez via submission at “Bellator 58” in what many fans and pundits alike considered the fight of 2011.
Further along the way, Chandler defeated the likes of Patricky“鬥犬”弗萊雷, 馬爾辛舉行, Rick Hawn, 和 大衛Rickels (2X). 他的 14 贏得作為一個專業, Chandler has amassed 12 victories before reaching the judges’ scorecards.

TRASH TALK BEGINS AROUND FEATHERWEIGHT BOUT AT NEF 22
路易斯頓, 緬因 (二月 12, 2016) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行下一次活動, “NEF 22: 條條大路通HERE” 上 星期六, 四月 22, 2016在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. 今天早些時候,, NEF announced the addition of a featherweight contest to the amateur portion of the “22 NEF” 拼卡. Bantamweight Champion 約翰尼工藝品 (4-0) will move up in weight to face Taylor Costantino (2-1) 在145磅.
Crafts was successful last Saturday in his attempt to capture the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Title. He took out Henry Clark (3-2) in the third round of their bout in Lewiston. Crafts is a decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (巴西柔術) brown belt out of Team New England United (NEW). He also cross-trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) 在路易斯頓.
“I’m excited to step up to 145 to fight Taylor,” said Crafts of the upcoming matchup with Costantino. “I will be very strong at that weight seeing as I cut pretty extensively to make 135. It will allow me to focus on different areas this camp instead of putting a lot of my energy into cutting weight.”
Costantino is himself coming off a big win last Saturday at “NEF 21。” It took him a mere 25-seconds to down Frank Johanson (0-1), a training partner of Crafts at CMBJJ, 在第一輪. Costantino is clear that he is coming to fight on 四月 23, and he does not plan on engaging in a grappling contest with Crafts.
“Respect to him for coming up in weight,” said Costantino of Crafts. “He’s a glorified pajama warrior that has never been punched in the face with any type of authority. He will clinch quickly and look for the takedown. He’ll realize real quick that he has never fought or trained with anybody like me.”
Crafts and Costantino are not strangers to one another. Several years ago, the two met in a jiu-jitsu tournament with Crafts coming out on top.
“Taylor and I have competed before in a sport jiu-jitsu tournament,” recalled Crafts. “Taylor says I am a glorified pajama warrior who has never been punched in the face, but if I recall correctly, I submitted him without my ‘pajamas’ no-gi in that tournament pretty quickly. I train with a lot of very talented and tough fighters daily who punch me in the face very hard. People say the same thing about me not getting punched – 很好, I have had four fights and they just haven’t had the chance to. Anyone who has trained with high-level fighters will tell you that gi jiu-jitsu only makes you more of a technical fighter. If he doesn’t believe that, that is fine – he will feel it on April 23rd.”
“Johnny did submit me when I first moved to Maine,” Costantino admitted. “Legit submission, and his pure grappling is definitely high level. My grappling is MMA based, not slow jitsu. It’s grimy, grueling and punishing. Pure grappling, I would worry about his game. But it’s a fight, sport jiu-jitsu means next to nothing to me.
“I wish I could say people will get to see my whole game, but I can’t guarantee that. Johnny will feel my power and look to go to his comfort zone. I will break him, you will see quit in his eyes.”
“After Taylor won in impressive fashion at NEF 21, he immediately screamed at me while still inside the cage that he wanted a black belt for his next challenge,” 說NEF共同所有者和媒人馬特·彼得森. “很好, he’s getting a brown belt in Johnny Crafts who, by all accounts, is due to receive his black belt any day, is a perfect 4-0 in the cage and is the current NEF amateur bantamweight champion. This fight is dripping with drama and will define a future top contender for the featherweight title in NEF’s stacked 145-pound division.”
