發表評論

 

ALSO: PHILIPE LINS NOW MEETS KLEBER RAIMUNDO SILVA

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (十一月 30, 2016) - 一個輕量級回合蝕 山內達 (20-3) 針對 米爾恰·瓦列 (12-3) completes the MMA portion of “Bellator 168: 卡瓦略VS. Manhoef 2,” on a night which will feature both Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing brands inside the Mandela Forum in Florence.

此外, due to an injury suffered by Pietro Cappelli, 菲利普林斯 (10-1) will now meet 克萊伯·雷蒙多·席爾瓦（Kleber Raimundo Silva） (12-7) in light heavyweight action on 十二月. 10.

The mixed martial arts portion of action on 十二月. 10 is headlined by a middleweight world title fight featuring a rematch between 拉斐爾·卡瓦略 (13-1) 和 梅爾文Manhoef (30-13-1, 2 NC), while Italy’s own 阿萊西奧Sakara (18-11, 2 NC) 將在 喬伊·貝爾特蘭 (17-13, 1 NC) at 205-pounds, 和 約翰·索爾特 (12-3) 會見 Claudio Annicchiarico (1-4) 在一個回合中量級. “Bellator 168: 卡瓦略VS. Manhoef 2” will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4下午ET/PT.

The Bellator Kickboxing card features a female flyweight rematch between 丹妮絲·基爾霍爾茨（Denise Kielholtz） (45-3) 和 Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. “Bellator跆拳道: Florence” will also feature a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting 喬·希林 (19-9) 針對 Victorio Lermano(30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) 同 Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), 和 凱文·羅斯(31-9) 見面會 Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) 在一個輕量級的戰鬥. “Bellator跆拳道: Florence” airs 星期五, 十二月. 16 在 11:15 下午ET, immediately following “Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

An 8-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Yamauchi enters the cage in search of his 21ST career win and seventh under the Scott Coker-led promotion. You would be hard-pressed to find a fighter with more promise than the 23-year-old top prospect, who has already taken down proven veterans the likes of Martin Stapleton, 小林勳, 以及最近 瑞安時裝. The former featherweight returned to the lightweight division to face the aforementioned Couture earlier in the year at “Bellator 162: Shlemenko VS. 樹林,” a fight in which Yamauchi dominated from the get-go, earning yet another first round submission victory. Yamauchi has finished his opponent in 17 他 20 career wins, 含 14 in the opening round of action. The Japanese-Brazilian submission specialist continues to make great strides in the sport, consistently displaying the flawless Brazilian jiu-jitsu technique that has given opponents many nightmares year after year.

Challenging Yamauchi will be Valeriu Mircea, a Moldova-born competitor that has also seen a great deal of success early on in his MMA career. The 23-year-old knockout artist will be making his Bellator MMA debut following three consecutive victories, including a pair of first round knockouts. Dating back to 2015, Mircea has collected wins in nine of his last 10 bouts and has already tallied six victories over his 2016 運動. With three of his last four wins coming by way of first round knockout, you can expect an early array of attack in this pairing of two top prospects.

Taking on Lins will now be Raimundo Silva, a 28-year-old striker who will be making both his 2016 and Bellator MMA debut. Dating back to 2011, “Orgulho” has won seven of his last 11 競賽, highlighted by his most recent knockout victory over Claudio Rocha, which came just 3:25 進入第一輪.

BELLATOR MMA RETURNS TO KANSAS WITH LIGHTWEIGHT CLASH FEATURING DAVID ‘THE CAVEMAN’ RICKELS AND AARON DERROW INSIDE KANSAS STAR ARENA ON JANUARY 27

PAIR OF UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS CHRIS HARRIS AND JORDAN YOUNG ALSO SLATED FOR MAIN CARD ACTION

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (十一月 28, 2016) – A lightweight bout pitting Kansas’ most popular MMA fighter 大衛Rickels (17-4, 2 NC) 針對 Aaron Derrow (14-8) and a middleweight bout featuring undefeated phenom Chris Harris (7-0) 與 喬丹年輕 (5-0) are the first two fights announced for “Bellator 171” which will take place inside Kansas Star Arena in Mulvane, 堪薩斯州, 一月 27.

“Bellator 171,” 播出住在穗 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT, is expected to have a main event announced in the coming weeks.

Tickets for the event starting at just $24, 開始銷售 星期六, 十二月. 3 with an exclusive two-day Bellator Nation pre-sale beginning November 30, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or KansasStarEventCenter.com. The event takes place one week after the extremely anticipated “Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” in Inglewood, 加利福尼亞州.

“The King of Kansas” will once again compete on the Spike-televised main card of Bellator MMA’s return to Kansas Star Arena. A 17-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Rickels will return to action for the first time since competing against Melvin Guillard this past summer. “The Caveman” has strung together an impressive career, totaling 11 wins over his seven years with the promotion, including four of his five career knockouts. A native of Derby, 堪薩斯州, Rickles recently delivered a brutal first round knockout in his co-main clash with Bobby Cooper at “Bellator 150: 金剛VS. Spartan.” The 27-year-old Rickels now prepares for Aaron Derrow, who enters the bout undefeated since joining Bellator MMA in 2014.

A native of Blue Springs, 密蘇里州, Derrow has made an immediate impact on the promotion, collecting victories in each of his first two fights under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Following his hot start, “Daddy Long Legs” will now be tasked with one of the lightweight divisions most proven veterans in David Rickels. 他的 14 career wins, Derrow has finished his opponent in 12 其中, 含 10 of the submission variety. The 29-year-old Derrow has scored two knockouts, each of which came in the first twenty seconds of action. Derrow will have his hands full with Rickels and the raucous hometown crowd that follows him when the two enter the cage on 一月 27.

With an unblemished mark of 7-0, Harris enters the cage riding an impressive string of success to begin his professional career. Fighting out of Wichita, 堪薩斯州, Harris will have the luxury of competing in front of his home crowd as he prepares to make his third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner. Harris has a knack for finishing his opponents early and often, recording six wins by way of knockout or submission, including four in the first round. The 26-year-old knockout artist will look to build off of a commendable 2016 campaign that saw him emerge victorious in each of his three contests, including a pair of wins with the Scott Coker-led promotion.

Also boasting an undefeated record through five career bouts, the 22-year-old Young will make his promotional debut against the equally impressive Harris. Of his five career wins, four have come by way of submission, with each of the four finishes occurring in the opening round of action. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, the submission specialist had similar success on the amateur circuit, where he collected four submission victories over a five-fight span. Fighting out of Urbandale, 愛荷華州, the 6’4’’ Young will also hold a significant height advantage over the 5’11’’ Harris as he prepares to challenge one of the most aggressive opponents of his career.

Updated “Bellator 171” Main Card:

輕量級功能回合: 戴夫Rickels (17-4, 2 NC) VS. Aaron Derrow (14-8)

中量級功能賽: Chris Harris (7-0) VS. 喬丹年輕 (5-0)

RALEK GRACIE SET FOR PROMOTIONAL DEBUT AGAINST HISAKI KATO AT ‘BELLATOR 170: ORTIZ VS. SONNEN’ ON JAN. 21 FROM THE FORUM IN LOS ANGELES

發表評論

 

TICKETS FOR THE EVENT ON SALE NOW

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (十一月 22, 2016) – The second main card fight announced for “Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” at The Forum on 一月 21, 2017 features the Bellator MMA debut of Los Angeleno Ralek Gracie (3-0), who will meet 久木加藤 (7-2) 在一個回合中量級.

 

The fight joins a card that already features a contest that many mixed martial arts fans thought they’d never see, 什麼時候 蒂托·奧爾蒂斯 (18-12-1) 和 Chael Sonnen的 (28-14-1) return to action. The event will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App.

 

Tickets for this massive event start at $36 並在銷售中現在Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announcing in the coming weeks.

 

僅在 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now. Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

 

Since joining the Bellator MMA roster, you would be hard-pressed to find a fighter who has been involved in more exciting matchups than Hisaki Kato. Nicknamed “The Japanese Mouseketeer,” the 34-year-old French-Japanese competitor has finished 喬·希林 on two separate occasions, and was involved in what many called a “Round of the Year” candidate during his lone Bellator MMA loss against 梅爾文Manhoef 在 2015. 現在, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 敵人.

輕重量級的主要事件: 蒂托·奧爾蒂斯 (18-12-1) VS. Chael Sonnen的 (28-14-1)

Q: For Benson…Is there any extra motivation to prove yourself in this fight after the way the last fight ended?

本森·亨德森: I would say that there’s not a whole lot of extra motivation this fight. I’m a pretty highly self-motivated individual. I want to win all of my fights. I don’t need any extra incentives. I want to have my hand raised in every single fight.

Q: This is your second title fight in Bellator. Is there anything you learned from the first go-around that you’re bringing into this fight?

本森·亨德森: I don’t know if there’s anything that I learned from the last title fight, just being more comfortable inside the Bellator cage and getting used to the walkout and finding my rhythm.

Q: You’re fighting for the title now. Do you think of yourself as a lightweight? Is this where you intend to stay or is another trip to welterweight a possibility in the future?

本森·亨德森: I wouldn’t say that I think of myself as a lightweight necessarily. 對我來說, 這是 155 磅. 或 170 磅。, just wherever the more interesting and fun matchups are. 但, first things first, I have to take care of business 週六 夜晚.

Q: You mentioned fun and interesting fights. Is the title something you think about as well? The story line of the week is a two-division champion in the other promotion. Is that a dream that you have for yourself in your career or do you just want to stay and be the most dominate lightweight champion that you can be?

本森·亨德森: I’m going to go get this belt at 155 磅。, but after that I wouldn’t say that belts offer a whole lot of extra incentive. Obviously belts are great and the meaning behind the belt is that you are the best in the planet and that means a lot to say that you are the best at that weight class, but I don’t fight necessarily just for the belt. You do want the belt, but right now all I’m concentrating on is four days from now and a man named Michael Chandler.

Q: For Michael…Have you ever thought about trying for another belt? I know it’s early in your title reign, but has that ever crossed your mind? 和, if you did go for another belt, would it be for welterweight or featherweight?

邁克爾·錢德勒: I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. 對我來說, I’m just looking for the biggest fight I can get. I know there’s no way I could make 145 磅。, since I walk around at about 190 磅。, between fights. 所以, I’m not interested in losing the muscle mass that I’ve worked so hard to build. 如果有什麼, I would jump up to 170 磅。, but right now I’m focused on my fight 這個星期六 night and I’m excited to get out there and perform.

Q: Why is Henderson an important opponent for your career?

邁克爾·錢德勒: Every opponent is important. Every single time we fight, we’re putting ourselves, our livelihood, our records, and our reputation on the line. It just so happens for me, I get an opportunity to fight a guy who’s been a champion and has done some great things in the sport. But luckily, it’s the right time for me and the wrong time for him. I’m extremely excited to go out there and make a statement with this fight 週六 夜晚. He’s definitely a great, willing opponent, but I’m excited to go out there and get the finish.

Q: For MVP…Obviously, it’s been a fantastic year for you in Bellator, especially your performance in London. Have you got your finger on the pulse of pop culture right now and is there something out there that you’re drawing inspiration from that you’re looking to utilize in some entertainment factor on fight night?

MVP: 是啊, I’m always socially aware, but I have to get the job done first and that’s the most important thing.

Q: At the moment, fighting at multiple weight classes and fighting in multiple divisions seems to be the rage right now and I know in the past you’ve mentioned the possibility of dropping down to 155 磅。, is that something that you’re still interested in?

MVP: At the moment, 別. 現在, I’m just focused on fighting in the welterweight division.

Q: If you can record a win over Fernando Gonzalez, how many more fights and how many more wins do you think before you are in that title picture and fighting for a title shot?

MVP: That’s not really my main concern. I just go out there and entertain and I’ll keep doing that until I end up in the position I’m supposed to be in.

Q: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?

邁克爾·錢德勒: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. 早些時候, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage 週六 night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, 現場免費.

Q: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?

岡薩雷斯: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. 所以, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.

Q: With Michael (頁面) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?

岡薩雷斯: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. 他的強硬, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.

Q: Michael do you have a response to that?

MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.

Q: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?

本森·亨德森: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. 對我來說, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. 但, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.

TEL AVIV, 以色列. (十一月. 10, 2016) – All fighters successfully made weight for Israel’s first major mixed martial arts event “Bellator 164: Koreshkov VS. Lima” which takes place inside of Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, 以色列. The historic event airs FREE on SPIKE 星期五, 十一月 11 在 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT.

Scott Coker on the groundbreaking Bellator event in Israel: “This event started about 18 months ago when we came over here to say hello to our international partners Annaney Communications and EGO TOTAL. We sat down with them and they said ‘Hey, there are a lot of great martial artists here. Why don’t we go meet with some of the gyms?’ So, we went to some of the gyms across Tel Aviv where they hosted a nice tryout. We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (格雷西) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 多年來, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap. 我真的, really excited to be here in Israel promoting our inaugural event, and we already have a date set for next year. We will be back, and we’d like to make this an annual stop for the company.

PROFESSIONAL DEBUT OF KEVIN ‘BABY SLICE’ FERGUSON JR. ADDED TO PRELIMINARY CARD OF “BELLATOR 165: CHANDLER VS. HENDERSON” AT SAP CENTER IN SAN JOSE

發表評論

 

SANTA MONICA, 加利福尼亞州. (十一月. 7, 2016) – One week ahead of “Bellator 165: 錢德勒VS. 恆基“ 在聖何塞SAP中心, 加利福尼亞州。, Bellator MMA is pleased to announce the highly anticipated professional mixed martial arts debut of Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. will come against Aaron Hamilton in a welterweight bout during the preliminary portion of the card on Nov. 19.

The contest anchors an electric preliminary card and joins a Spike-televised main card that features a lightweight world title main event pitting current champion 邁克爾·錢德勒 (15-3) 針對 本森·亨德森 (24-6). 在當晚的合作主要事件, undefeated British phenom 邁克爾“毒液”頁面 (11-0) and California’s own 岡薩雷斯 (25-13) duke it out in a welterweight thriller and 亞當Piccolot (8-0) 發生在 布蘭登Girtz(14-4) in a lightweight clash. 最後, a light heavyweight showdown pitting Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) 針對 弗朗西斯Carmont (14-4) and female flyweight action pitting Keri Melendez (登場) 針對 Sheila Padilla (2-0) are also set for the main card.

“Bellator 165: 錢德勒VS. 恆基“ airs LIVE and FREE at 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT on Spike and completes three consecutive weeks of championship fights on the Viacom-owned network. Tickets for the event remain on sale and can be purchased at Bellator.com, as well as SAP Center Box Office and Ticketmaster.

After originally being slated to make his professional debut at both “Bellator 160” 和 “Bellator 162,“ “Baby Slice” will now look to showcase his fine-tuned mixed martial arts repertoire on 十一月. 19. The son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” made a splash in the world of MMA during an amateur contest in Chicopee, 馬薩諸塞州, where he delivered a brutal knockout punch just 1:23 進入第一輪. In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, 佛羅里達, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate A.J. 麥基 as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.

Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, PHIL DAVIS TAKES HOME BELLATOR MMA TITLE WITH DOMINATING FIVE-ROUND VICTORY

發表評論

 

完整的事件照片此處 / Full Event Highlights Here

 

安卡斯維爾, 康涅狄格州. (十一月. 4, 2016) – It’s a wonderful life for 菲爾·戴維斯 (17-3), who dethroned 利亞姆McGeary (11-1) 在週五 晚 “Bellator 163,” taking home the light heavyweight championship.

As has been the case plenty of times throughout Davis’ illustrious career, his wrestling pedigree was the deciding factor, nullifying the world-class jiu-jitsu of the Renzo Gracie-trained former champion. For nearly 25-minutes, “先生. Wonderful” maintained top pressure on the New York-native, frustrating McGeary and putting him into desperation mode in the fifth and final round. McGeary fought valiantly to both stop and submit the longtime Alliance MMA-product, 但最後, Davis took home the unanimous decision with scorecards of 50-43, 50-45, 50-44.

McGeary, who suffered the first loss of his young career, was humble in defeat, admitting that while Davis was the better man throughout their main event fight, he will be back to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his.

Returning home to Southern California with a new belt in tow, Davis now sets his sights on his pregnant wife, who is due to give birth to his second son 週一.

布倫南病房 & Saad Awad Provide 90 Seconds of Pure Violence

In an absolute barnburner, 布倫南病房 和 你阿瓦德 went toe-to-toe for the 86 seconds they shared the Bellator MMA cage together, doing their best imitation of Rock Em’ Sock Em’ Robots until “愛爾蘭的” caught “刺客” with an uppercut that sent the Palestinian face first into the canvas. With the knockout, Ward moves into sixth place on the all-time list of KO’s under the promotion’s banner, and now sets his sights on a future matchup against the elite at 170-pounds.

Neiman Gracie Tells the MMA World, ‘Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’ is Back

After finding out they would be competing live on SPIKE less than 24 hours before entering the Bellator MMA cage, 奈曼格雷西 (5-0) 作出快速的工作 魯迪熊 (16-15), latching on to an arm bar 4:39 into the opening frame and forcing the tap from “Bad News.” Gracie was able to add to his impressive submission record, which has now been stretched to three victories in three Bellator MMA appearances, including a pair of first-round submissions. The 27-year-old was also able to please 羅伊斯格雷西, who was cornering his bout for the evening.

Javy Ayala Spoils Return of Sergei Kharitonov in 16 秒

In what many people thought would be a triumphant return to the sport of MMA for 謝爾蓋Kharitonov (23-6), Javy阿亞拉 (10-5) spoiled that, sending the Russian heavyweight to the canvas in a heap following an overhand right 16 seconds into the matchup. 憑藉這場勝利, “Eye Candy” immediately inserted himself into further big-time match-ups, namedropping both 鮑比·拉什利 和 馬特·米特里恩 during his post-fight interview. In his last two outings, the Northern California-native has finished his foe in the opening round via stoppage.
