This Week’s Combat Sports Show: Nunes vs. Pennington Recap, Lomachenko vs.. Linares analysis, Liddell Unretires and calls out Jon Jones

This week’s fight news unlimited combat sports show is a great mix of boxing and mixed martial arts. Tom, Tony and Rich cover all the action from last weekend and marvel at the master of his craft that is Vasyl Lomachenko. We discuss Chuck Liddell coming out of retirement with Golden Boy MMA, and Tito Ortiz taking the debate to be his first opponent. We also have a bit of a debate about Raquel Pennington telling her corner she wanted to be done after the fourth round against Amanda Nunes. Her coaches pep talked her into continuing, which led to more blood loss and facial damage from a clearly more hyped up and fresh opponent. Weigh in right here in the comment section if you have your own opinion on the situation.

JULIA BUDD DEFENDS HER WORLD TITLE AGAINST UNDEFEATED TALITA NOGUEIRA AT BELLATOR 202 BIYERNES, HULYO 13 ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK

cid:image002.jpg@01D3DAE9.FA49C4D0

MICHAEL MCDONALD CHALLENGES FORMER BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION EDUARDO DANTAS IN CO-MAIN EVENT

LOS ANGELES – On Friday, Hulyo 13, Julia Budd (11-2) will defend her featherweight world title against Brazilian jiu-jitsu ace Talita Nogueira (7-0), sa main event sa Bellator 202 at WinStar World Casino and Resort. Dugang pa, the co-headliner will feature former Bellator world champion Eduardo Dantas (20-5) pagkuha sa Michael McDonald (18-4) in a bantamweight clash of top contenders.

 

Bellator 202: Buddh vs. Walnut will be broadcast live and free on Paramount Network at 9 sa gabii. ET / 8 hapon. CT, samtang ang preliminary aksyon magaganayan sa Bellator.comug sa tibuok kalibutan sa Bellator Mobile App. Ang mga tiket alang sa kalihokan gibaligya karong Biyernes, Abril 20 and can be purchased at the WinStar World Casino and Resort box office, as well as through Ticketmaster and Bellator.com. Dugang nga mga bouts nga gipahibalo sa mga umaabot nga mga semana.

 

 

 

Julia Budd, the only fighter to sit atop Bellator women’s featherweight division, has bested Germaine de Randamie, Arlene Blencowe ug Marloes Coenen amongst other names over the course of her eight-year mixed martial arts career. “The Jewel” is also the only woman to defeat Gina Carano in Muay-Thai competition. Karon, the Canada-native and former STRIKEFORCE competitor, returns to Oklahoma, where she makes her second title defense since winning the belt last year at Bellator 174.

 

 

 

Talita Nogueira had already been crowned a world champion in jiu-jitsu prior to testing her hand in MMA. “Treta” went undefeated in six MMA contests in her home town of Sao Paulo, Brazil between 2009 ug 2013, before signing to compete with Bellator. Originally slated to fight Budd at Bellator 133, Nogueira suffered an injury that forced her to withdraw from the contest. Her highly-anticipated promotional debut ultimately took place at Bellator 182, where the 32-year-old scored a first-round submission over Amanda Bell. The Demain Maia-trained fighter now gets a second chance to compete against Budd, and this time, the world championship is on the line.

 

 

 

Former two-time world champion Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas has proven himself a perennial top-10 bantamweight fighter with impressive performances over Joe Warren, Marcos Galvao (x2), Wilson Reis and Zach Makovsky. Ang Bellator Panahon 5 tournament champion has strung together an impressive 10-2 record with Bellator during his seven-year tenure with the promotion. The 29-year-old trains alongside the likes of Jose Aldo at the famed Nova Uniao team in his home town of Rio de Janeiro and is looking for another shot at Bellator gold.

 

 

 

Fighting professionally since the age of 16, McDonald has been a mainstay in the bantamweight rankings for the better part of 11 ka tuig. The exciting Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has amassed an astonishing finishing rate, reaching the judges’ scorecards only three times in his 22 away. “Mayday” made his Bellator debut in 2017, scoring a victory over Peter Ligier, despite fracturing his hand early in the fight. Now that his hand has fully healed, the former world title challenger from Modesto, Calif. will look to defeat Dantas July 13 on Paramount Network.

Updated Bellator 202: Buddh vs. Walnut Fight Card:

Women’s Featherweight World Title Bout: Julia Budd (11-2) vs. Talita Nogueira (7-0)

Bantamweight Main Card Bout: Eduardo Dantas (20-5) vs. Michael McDonald (18-4)
