SANTA MONICA (Сакавіка 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “Bellator 149: Шемрок супраць. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage так бы мовіць,"Сказаў Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.

Thackerville, ДОБРА. (Сакавіка 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion Колдуэлл (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over Джо Уорэн (13-5) у галоўную падзею “Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell” у пятніцу night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, з “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 першага раўнда.

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 Маркас Гальвао, simply saying: “F*ck you [Маркас] Гальвао, 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. Тым часам, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Эдуарда Dantas when they do finally meet.

 

In the co-main event of the evening, Фернанда Гансалес (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of Гілберт Сміт (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ сістэмы паказчыкаў, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 хвілін. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Page, who was originally slated to face “Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” Красавіка 22, калі Бенсон Хендэрсан challenges Андрэй Карашкоў for the welterweight belt.

 

Ямаучы да (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Джэнкінс (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, але “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 страты Георгій Караханян.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell,” Сирван Какава (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) аднагалосным рашэннем суддзяў (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. У канцы, суддзі’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

BELLATOR MMA IS THE NEW FIGHTING HOME OF WANDERLEI ‘THE AXE MURDERER’ SILVA

Пакінуць каментар

Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (Крэдыт: Bellator / Lucas Нуна)

 

SANTA MONICA (Сакавіка 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA is pleased to announce that one of the most popular, recognizable and beloved fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts, Вандерлей "Сякера Забойцу" Silva (35-12-1), has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight contract with the promotion. The 39-year-old publicly fielded offers from companies all around the world, but the former Pride FC Middleweight Champion made the decision to take his explosive style to Bellator MMA.

 

“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with Куинтон "Rampage" Джэксан, Ціта Ортиз, Mirko Cro Cop, Вітор Белфорт, Dan Henderson, Сакураба, Chuck Liddell, and Michael Bisping are the stuff of legend – but Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career.

 

In addition to his Pride FC Middleweight World Championship, Silva’s packed trophy case of accolades includes awards for Fight of the Year (2003, 2004, 2007), КО года (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, проста назваць некалькі. He now looks to continue to provide his award-winning, entertaining fights inside the Bellator cage.

 

Silva has several options for his first fight with Bellator. Although he has spent the majority of his career at 185-pounds, one of the things that his fans love most about him has been Wanderlei’s willingness to fight the best of the best – even if it was up two weight classes at heavyweight – as proven by his heavyweight wars against guys like Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita and Cro Cop; Or, his battles against light heavyweights like Ortiz, and his most recent opponent, Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second frame.

 

Silva is the latest in a long line of recent free agent signings made by Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. The former Chute Box competitor joins: Джош Томсан, Філ Дэвіс, Бенсон Хендэрсан, Сяргей Харытонаў і Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Маркас Гальвао, Даніэль Штраўс, Уіл Брукс, Андрэй Карашкоў, Рафаэль Карвалью, Ліам Мак-Гіры іВіталь Мінакоў,

Click below for “What to Watch: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell”

SANTA MONICA, Каліфорніі. (Лютага 29, 2016) – This Friday, Bellator MMA returns to Spike for the third consecutive Friday with "Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell.” The event takes place from the WinStar World Casino & Курорт у Thackerville, ДОБРА, and features a main event between highly touted undefeated bantamweight Darrion Колдуэлл (8-0) challenging former two-division world champion and the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” Джо Уорэн (13-4).

Квіткі на "Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell” are on sale now and start at just $45. You can purchase tickets at the WinStar World Casino and Resort Box Office, as well as Ticketmaster.com and Bellator.com. Дзверы для гэтага мерапрыемства адкрытага ў 5:00 p.m. Канэктыкут мясцовае час, with the first contest taking place 45 хвілін.

"Bellator 151: Уорэн супраць. Caldwell” выходзіць у эфір у прамым эфіры і бясплатна на шып у 9 p.m. І/8 p.m. Канэктыкут, у той час як папярэднія паядынкі будуць трансляваць у прамым эфіры на Bellator.com і Bellator Mobile App.. Additional bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.

 

Джо Уорэн (13-4) супраць. Darrion Колдуэлл (8-0)

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Зараз, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Маркас Гальвао early in 2015. A 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, барацьба.

 

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Шон Букет via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Трусіны садок] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

Фернанда Гансалес (24-13) супраць. Гілберт Сміт (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Дынаміт 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Павел "Семтекс" Дэйлі. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

 

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Поўнач Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

 

Ямаучы да (19-2) супраць. Bubba Джэнкінс (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Майк Richman, Марцін Стэплтон, і Исао Кобаясі. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 з яго 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

 

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, нядаўна, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Іарданія Парсанс.

 

Сирван Какава (12-3) супраць. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 баі. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

 

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.

COMPLETE BELLATOR 150 PHOTOS HERE

MULVANE, Мая. (Лютага 26, 2015) – A week removed from the most watched Bellator MMA event in company history, the Scott Coker-led promotion returned to action on SPIKE with "Bellator 150: Конга супраць. Queiroz,” an event that delivered five spectacular main card fights.

 

У галоўнай падзеі вечара, Шэйх Конга (24-10-2) intelligently managed the distance between he and Vinicius Spartan (8-4), kicking and jabbing his way to a split decision victory (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan did have his moments during the heavyweight encounter, securing takedowns in rounds two and three, followed by a knockdown late. Але ў рэшце рэшт, Kongo received the benefit of the doubt from the Kansas-appointed judges. The Frenchman has now won two straight, and improved to 6-2 overall under the Bellator MMA banner.

It only took Дэвід Rickels (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish Бобі Купер (12-6) in front of a sellout crowd at Kansas Star Arena on Friday. Both men had their moments during the action, but after a knee to the body dropped Cooper to his knees, “The Caveman” pummelled his foe with hammerfists until referee John McCarthy called a stop to the action.

Кендал Гроўв (23-15) спыніўся Францыска Францыя (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 секунд пасля пачатку другога раўнда, winning by knockout. The victory was an emotional one for “Da Spyder,” who recently lost his brother and made it clear his performance was dedicated to his late sibling. Grove has now won three of his last four tilts, all via finish.

Чука Уіліс (7-2) рукамі Гастон Рэйна (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, winning via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The scrap went back-and-forth over the course of 15 хвілін, with multiple submission attempts and knockdowns by both men. But in the end – much to the delight of the partisan crowd – Willis earned the nod.

Former Shamrock FC Flyweight Champion Rebecca Ruth (6-1) пераможаны Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) аднагалосным рашэннем суддзяў (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at "Bellator 150: Конга супраць. Queiroz.” For “Ruthless” the win is the first of her career via the judges’ scorecards and extended her current winning streak to four straight.

 

Папярэднія вынікі Картачныя:

 

Kyle Noblitt (2-0) пераможаны David Hammons (1-2) тэхнічным накаўтам (ўдары)
