Karim Ghajji (98-13-1) derrotado Zoltan Halasz (11-3) por decisión dividida (50-45, 48-47, 46-49)

Cita de Karim Ghajji:

“Nos preparamos muy duro para esta pelea.. Todo lo que nos propusimos lograr, lo hicimos. Sé que podría hacerlo aún mejor, pero sabes que en las peleas no sale exactamente como quieres cada vez. En la primera ronda cuando resbalé, Me lastimé la rodilla y fue extremadamente doloroso, pero sabía que tenía que cavar y hacer más y más para ganar este cinturón., que significa todo para mi,” Ghajji dijo. “Este es el dia mas lindo de mi vida. Como decimos: "Aleluya! Recuperé mi cinturón.’ Sentí mucha presión para recuperar este cinturón., y que sensacion tan increible es reconquistarlo. Espero luchar contra los mejores luchadores que Bellator tiene para ofrecer para confirmar que soy el campeón., pero también, Me gustaría competir en MMA.. En Francia tenemos muchos luchadores duros de MMA en nuestro gimnasio y mi terreno y mi libra son bastante destructivos.. Me gustaría hacer esto.”

Joe Schilling (21-9) derrotado Alexandru Negrea (10-4) por decisión unánime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Cita de Joe Schilling:

“La pelea estuvo bien, me sorprendió mucho que fuera tan duro. Ha peleado en Super Combat en Rumanía, por lo que ha tenido muchos oponentes europeos duros contra los que ha luchado.. Nivel de habilidad No creo que haya peleado contra el nivel de competencia con el que yo he competido, pero hizo un muy buen trabajo y fue muy duro. Estaba tratando de engañarme para que lanzara con él e intentaba atraparme cuando entraba., así que estaba tratando de mantenerme mucho más sereno y demostrar que no soy ese idiota que luchó [Hisaki] Kato dos veces,” Schilling dijo. “Hice muchos cambios en mi vida personal.. Estoy mucho más concentrado y más serio y mi objetivo esta noche era mostrar el nivel de competidor y kickboxer de clase mundial que soy y creo que lo hice. Me quito el sombrero ante Alex, Él hizo un gran trabajo. No hay mucha gente que pueda hacer ese tipo de tiros durante tres rondas.. Creo que la decisión de los jueces fue un poco ridícula.. No creo que le hubiera dado la mitad de una ronda y mucho menos una ronda. Creo que le dieron el segundo, que es tonto. Pero, en general, fue una buena noche, las vacaciones comienzan ahora.”

Raymond Daniels (13-3) derrotado Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) y por KO 0:36 de la tercera ronda

Cita de Raymond Daniels:

“Otra oportunidad para salir y dejar huella con esa marca Bellator. Sé que mi hombre Nick Diaz dice: "Corta toda esa mierda giratoria,Pero creo que se refiere a todos menos a mí,” Daniels dijo. “He estado entrenando durante muchos años en kárate deportivo y artes marciales y sabes que es muy parecido a entrenar para ser un francotirador, por así decirlo.. Hay agujeros y hay ventanas y cuando tu oponente te da esos agujeros tienes que aprovechar esa oportunidad. Vi ese agujero, Lo expuse, y resultó ser con mi patada giratoria, que es una de mis técnicas más poderosas y devastadoras. Si golpeo esa marca con esa patada, es un jonrón, grand slam, Lo estoy sacando del parque todo el tiempo. Recientemente he podido entrenar con varios grandes veteranos de MMA como Rory MacDonald, Georges St. Pierre, Tyron Woodley y yo nos divertimos mucho entrenando con esos muchachos, así que definitivamente estoy interesado en volver a hacer MMA.. Es muy divertido hacerlo con guantes pequeños porque la gente no puede usar los guantes grandes como escudo para bloquear mis tiros.. Quiero apoderarme de este título de Bellator Kickboxing y seguir ayudando a construir esta marca de kickboxing porque sé que están invirtiendo mucho tiempo en ello.. Así que sí, Definitivamente estoy interesado en cruzar ese puente y tener algunas peleas de MMA, pero mi objetivo principal es llevarme a casa ese oro del kickboxing.”

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) derrotado Irene Martens (20-10-2) por decisión unánime (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Cita de Jorina Baars:

“Fue una buena pelea, Pensé que Irene [Martens] fue muy duro. Tuve el control desde el principio de la pelea y lo mantuve durante los tres asaltos.. Estuve un poco decepcionado en la primera ronda, pero en la segunda y tercera rondas me desempeñé mucho mejor.. Ella trabajó duro y se movió mucho., así que mi estrategia fue mantener la presión sobre ella e intentar ponerla en la esquina y creo que lo logré,” Baars dijo después de su victoria. “Fue increíble finalmente luchar por Bellator.. La organización es tan profesional. Espero con ansias mis futuras peleas aquí y espero ganar el título de Bellator.”

Gabor Gorbics (31-10) derrotado Gabriel Varga (13-5) por decisión dividida (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

Eduardo Dantas (20-4) derrotado Leandro Higo (17-3) por decisión dividida (30-27, 30-27, 28-29)

Eduardo Dantas Quote:

It was tough to stay motivated for this fight once he missed weight. There was nothing to gain whether I beat him fast or slow. It wasn’t for the belt, it wasn’t going to change my ranking in Bellator,” Dantas said. “Cuándo [Darrion] Caldwell got injured, I asked Scott Coker to bring in tough bantamweights and they brought in a tough fighter, but you have to make weight. I train hard for several months, I don’t go out, Entreno. It’s the very minimum you can do. You have to make weight. Be a professional. I don’t think Caldwell is injured. I think he just doesn’t want to fight out of America. I am looking forward to getting my hands on him.

Daniel Weichel (39-9) derrotado John Macapa (21-2) por decisión dividida (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Daniel Weichel Quote:

Macapa is definitely a tough opponent. He was almost undefeated coming into this with only one loss and I took him as seriously as I can take an opponent. At this time I treat everyone I fight as if it’s a championship fight. I think he is one of the top featherweight opponents that I could face so I’m pretty happy that I was able to beat him,” Weichel said. “I have to give a big shout out to all of my friends and family that drove 17-18 hours from Frankfurt and Cologne to be here and support me. They’ve been there for me and believed in me since day one and it’s difficult for me to even put into words how much it means to have them in my corner. I have to thank Bellator for putting me on this card and giving them the opportunity to come and watch me fight. I’m hoping that Bellator brings me to Mohegan Sun next week and puts me cage side so I can see who I will get to beat up next when (Daniel) Straus and (Patricio) ‘Pitbull’ lucha.

Lena Ovchynnikova (12-4) derrotado Helen Harper (4-2) via doctor stoppage at 5:00 de la segunda ronda

Lena Ovchynnikova Quote:

Before the fight I was a little bit nervous, and I felt that my first round wasn’t quite as good as I would of liked. But when the second round started she was going to feel my power and I knew that I would win,” Ovchynnikova said. “When the judges stopped the fight I couldn’t believe it. I was ready for a third round and I wanted to win with a knockout but we have what we have.

Adam Borics (6-0) derrotado Anthony Taylor (1-3) a través de la sumisión (estrangulamiento por la espalda) en 4:12 de la primera ronda

Adam Borics Quote:

When the fight started, I felt a great deal of pressure from the crowd and I was in a bit of a rush. It took me a while to settle down and regain my composure, but once I did that I was able to see the fight much better. I’ve been working on my striking with Henri Hooft and I really was hoping to win with a knockout, but I saw my opening for a submission and I was able to end the fight with the choke,” Borics said. “I’m very happy that I was given this great opportunity to represent Hungary in MMA. This is very important for me to support the development of this sport in Hungary. It is my plan to continue to be an ambassador for the sport here and to continue to bring victories like this in the future.

Brian Moore (10-5) derrotado Michal Horejsi (5-3) por TKO en 3:57 de la segunda ronda

Brian Moore Quote:

 

“Estoy muy, really happy that I got the call back from Bellator. To be honest I begged for the call back because Bellator is where I want to be. I want to be signed with Bellator, I want to be a household name. I really believe I’m one of the better featherweights in this division. I was given a guy who is very unpredictable. I was patient in my approach but I cut him down and was able to finish him. Esta noche I wanted to make a statement with a knockout because my dream is to fight at Madison Square Garden. I want to open up the show. My teammate James (Gallagher) is already on the card and we’d put on a super camp together and we’d tear that place apart,” Moore said. “My hero, Sugar Ray Robinson used to own the Garden. I’ve watched every bit of footage I can get my hands on of Sugar Ray, he’s my idol. So to fight in the same arena as he has – and obviously my teammate Conor (McGregor) has fought there tooit would be a dream come true. But I want to open up the card and set the tone for the night because when you see a fighter that is as exciting as I am that’ll set the tone. Give me anyone, I don’t give a f-ck.
