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

Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (קרעדיט: בעללאַטאָר / לוקאַס נאָאָנאַן)

 

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 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, וואַנדערלעי "די אַקס מורדערער" סילוואַ (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 קווינטאָן "ראַמפּאַגע" זשעקסאן, טיטאָ אָרטיז, Mirko Cro Cop, וויטאָר בעלפאָרט, Dan Henderson, קאַזושי סאַקוראַבאַ, 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), קאָ פון דעם יאָר (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, just to name a few. 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: דזשאָש טהאָמסאָן, פיל דייוויס, בענסאָן הענדערסאָן, סערגעי כאַריטאָנאָוו און Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos גאַלוואַאָ, דניאל סטראַוס, וועט ברוקס, אַנדריי קאָרעשקאָוו, ראַפאַעל קאַרוואַלהאָ, ליאַם מקגעאַרי אוןוויטאַלי מינאַקאָוו,

I am excited to announce that the RFA will be bringing two world title fights to South Dakota in April,” סטייטיד סאָאַרעס. “Rafael Viana and Devin Clark are undefeated and two of the top 205-pound prospects in the world. They will compete for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title in the main event of RFA 37. אין די גלויבנס-העאַדלינער, Joey Miolla and Leandro Higo will both return to the Sanford Pentagon to fight for the vacant RFA bantamweight title.

קלאַרק (5-0) is the most successful 205-pound fighter in RFA history and is looking to become the promotion’s first light-heavyweight champion in front of his hometown crowd. Clark is an NJCAA wrestling champion and a Golden Gloves boxing champion that has quickly seen his name rise to the top of several MMA light-heavyweight prospect rankings. The Lincoln High School graduate has earned over half of his career wins inside the RFA Octagon and will be looking for the biggest win of his career in the main event of RFA 37.
It’s an honor to fight for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title in front of my hometown crowd in Sioux Falls,” stated Clark. “Becoming the first RFA light-heavyweight champion will mean even more to me since I get to do it against such a talented and tough opponent.
Viana (6-0) is the older brother of Bellator star Guilherme Viana and he also trains alongside UFC star Glover Teixeira. He is a BJJ black belt and the reigning Shooto Brasil light-heavyweight champion. Viana, like Clark, has proven to be clinical with his finishing ability and is eager to fight outside of his native Brazil for the first time. His international debut will also be his first fight televised worldwide and Viana is looking to take full advantage of it.
I am very honored to be given this opportunity,” stated Viana. “This will be my first international fight and it is a great honor to fight for the inaugural RFA light-heavyweight title. I will put on a great show for the fans at RFA 37.
די גלויבנס-הויפּט געשעעניש פון רפאַ 37 will culminate in crowning the third bantamweight champion in RFA history. The first two champions, Pedro Munhoz and Luke Sanders, געגאנגען 4-0 in the RFA before signing with the UFC. The vacant RFA bantamweight title will be up for grabs between two men who made their RFA debut on the same card last summer in back-to-back bouts. דזשאָוי מיאָללאַ (8-1) and Leandro Higo (15-2) represented their home countries on the historic “USA ווס. BRAZILevent that took place last August at RFA 29. Both men were victorious that night and showed why they are two of the most highly-regarded 135-pound prospects in the sport. אויף פרייַטיק, April 15th, Miolla and Higo will face off inside the same building that they made their RFA debut last summer, but this time the winner will be walking away with RFA gold strapped around their waist.
רפאַ 37 will also feature one of South Dakota’s favorite sons as Jordon Larson (6-2) is set to return in the welterweight feature fight. Larson will be making his fourth appearance for the RFA in his hometown of Sioux Falls against Colorado native Brian Camozzi (5-2). Larson, who has been the recipient of three of the loudest ovations in RFA history, will once again make the walk to the RFA Octagon in front of his adoring hometown fans. He will face Camozzi, who is the younger brother of UFC star Chris Camozzi. The younger Camozzi brother made a huge statement in his RFA debut in January. He showcased his dynamic skill set by becoming the first person to finish Tyler Milner and he did it in less than one round.
רפאַ 37 – Viana vs Clark takes place פרייַטיק, April 15th בייַ די סאַנפאָרד פּענטאַגאָן אין סו פאלס, דרום דעקאטע. Additional bouts on the main card and preliminary card of RFA 37 וועט זייַן מודיע באַלד.

‘IRISH’ BRENNAN WARD WELCOMES EVANGELISTA ‘CYBORG’ SANTOS TO THE BELLATOR MMA WELTERWEIGHT DIVISION

FOUR ADDITIONAL PRELIMINARY MATCHUPS ADDED TO THE MOHEGAN SUN EVENT IN CONNECTICUT

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ, קאַליף. (מאַרץ 1, 2016) – The co-main event for "בעללאַטאָר 153: קאָרעשקאָוו ווס. הענדערסאָן " is set, with the news that פּאַטריסיאָ "פּיטבולל" פרעירע (24-3) will compete against יוחנן "Macapá" טעיקסעיראַ (19-1-2) in featherweight action on אַפּריל 22 בייַ מאָהעגאַן Sun אַרענאַ אין ונקאַסוויללע, קאַן.

The two bouts join a main event that features the highly anticipated Bellator debut of בענסאָן "גלאַט" הענדערסאָן (23-5), ווי ער טשאַלאַנדזשיז וועלטערווייט מייַסטער אַנדריי קאָרעשקאָוו (18-1) פֿאַר זייַן גאַרטל.

For “Pitbull,” a fight on אַפּריל 22 is the first step back towards a shot at Daniel Straus’ featherweight title, a belt that Freire held before the two met at "בעללאַטאָר 145: מיט אַ נעקאָמע. " בייַ 28 years of age and with already 15 fights under the Bellator MMA banner, the Natal-native has been victorious in seven out of his last eight outings and emphatically finished דניאל וועיטשעל in what was a knockout of the year candidate in 2015.

 

Undefeated in Bellator MMA, including an entertaining victory his last time out against גלעריסטאָנע סאַנטאָס; “Macapa” has not suffered defeat since 2012. A product of the highly regarded Nova Uniao team, Teixeira has previously competed in the UFC, where he was a competitor on “The Ultimate Fighter: Brazil.” אַפּריל 22 will only be the fourth time the 29-year-old has fought outside of Brazil.

 

For Ward, fighting at the Mohegan Sun is like competing in his own backyard. ליגן 10 miles from his home in New London, קאַן., “Irish” has won four times at the Mohegan Sun, all by finish with three KOs and one submission. רובֿ לעצטנס, the 27-year-old former NCAA All-American moved up in weight and submitted former heavyweight Ken Hasegawa in Japan while representing Bellator MMA during Rizin FF’s inaugural event this past December. The win brought Ward’s current winning streak to five fights, all coming by way of finish.

 

Best known to fans as “Cyborg,” Santos enters the Scott Coker-led promotion fresh off a win already in 2016. A veteran of Pride FC and Strikeforce, “Cyborg” has been involved in some memorable tussles against names the likes of: Nick Diaz, געגאַרד מאָוסאַסי, פראַנסיס קאַרמאָנט, און מעלווין מאַנהאָעף (2רענטגענ). איצט, the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt will turn his attention to one of Bellator MMA’s fastest rising stars.

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ, קאַליף. (פעברואַר 29, 2016) – This Friday, Bellator MMA returns to Spike for the third consecutive Friday with "בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell.” The event takes place from the WinStar World Casino & רעסאָרט אין טהאַקקערוויללע, גוט, and features a main event between highly touted undefeated bantamweight דאַרריאָן קאָלדוועל (8-0) challenging former two-division world champion and the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” דזשאָו וואָראַן (13-4).

דזשאָו וואָראַן (13-4) ווס. דאַרריאָן קאָלדוועל (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. איצט, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Marcos גאַלוואַאָ early in 2015. א 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, ראַנגלערייַ.

 

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 שאָן בינטל 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 [וואָראַן] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

פערנאַנדאָ גאָנזאַלעז (24-13) ווס. גילבערט סמיט (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "בעללאַטאָר ממאַ: דינאַמיטע 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul "סעמטעקס" דיילי. 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. "האַלבנאַכט 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.

 

יאַמאַוטשי אַרויף (19-2) ווס. באַבאַ דזשענקינס (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against מייק ריטשמאַן, מארטין סטאַפּלעטאָן, און יסאַאָ קאָבייַאַשי. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 פון זיין 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, רובֿ לעצטנס, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in ירדן פּאַרסאָנס.

 

סירוואַן קאַקאַי (12-3) ווס. 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 פייץ. 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.

CHEICK KONGO INCHES PAST VINICIUS SPARTAN IN ‘BELLATOR 150MAIN EVENT ON SPIKE

COMPLETE BELLATOR 150 PHOTOS HERE

MULVANE, מייַ. (פעברואַר 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 "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס. Queiroz,” an event that delivered five spectacular main card fights.

 

אין די אָוונט ס הויפּט געשעעניש, טשעיקק קאָנגאָ (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. אבער אין די סוף, 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 דוד ריקקעלס (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish באַבי קופּער (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.

קענדאַלל גראָווע (23-15) סטאַפּט פֿראַנסיסקאָ France (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 סעקונדעס אין די רגע קייַלעכיק, 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.

טשוקאַ וויליס (7-2) קאָלנער גאַסטאָן ריינאָ (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 מינוט, 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) דיפיטיד Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) דורך יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at "בעללאַטאָר 150: קאָנגאָ ווס. Queiroz.” For “Ruthless” the win is the first of her career via the judges’ scorecards and extended her current winning streak to four straight.

PAT CURRAN RETURNS AGAINST GEORGI KARAKHANYAN IN FEATHERWEIGHT ACTION

Carvalho’s second-round body kick knockout of בראַנדאָן כאַלסי בייַ "בעללאַטאָר 144: כאַלסי ווס. Carvalho” was the third biggest oddsmaker upset in 2015, and extended his current winning streak to 12. The 29-year-old will be making his fourth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and has an impressive finishing rate of 83 פּראָצענט.

With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has been given the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor is fresh off his emphatic knockout of היסאַקי קאַטאָ בייַ "בעללאַטאָר 146: מאַנהאָעף ווס. Kato” אין נאוועמבער. Now the 39-year-old is in position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, before returning to kickboxing competition in the newly founded Bellator Kickboxing league.

 

It’s hard to find a Bellator MMA fighter with as many memorable moments for the Scott Coker-led promotion as Pat Curran. The former featherweight kingpin has been involved in wars with fighters the likes of: current champion דניאל סטראַוס, פּאַטריסיאָ פרעירע, דניאל וועיטשעל, און דזשאָו וואָראַן. Now “Paddy Mike” sets his sights on “Insane,” in a bout that surely has future title implications at stake.

 

Karakhanyan made a splash in his return to Bellator MMA in 2015, טשאָוקינג אויס באַבאַ דזשענקינס in his first fight for the Viacom-owned promotion since 2011. איצט, the Millenia MMA standout will put his knack for submitting opponents (14רענטגענ) to the test against Curran, a fighter who has only been submitted once in 28-fights.
