INJURY POSTPONES BELLATOR MMA DEBUT OF JOSH KOSCHECK, PAUL DALEY-ANDY UHRICH PROMOTED TO MAIN EVENT BILLING
RAPHAEL BUTLER-TONY JOHNSON SET TO CLASH ON MAIN CARD
ILIMA MACFARLANE-AMBER TACKETT ANCHOR ‘BELLATOR 148: DALEY VS. UHRICH’ PRELIMINARY CARD
SANTA MONICA, Calif. (Eanáir 6, 2015) – An injury sustained by Josh Koscheck (17-10) during training camp has derailed his Bellator MMA debut against Matt Secor (7-2), which was slated to be the main event of “Bellator 148” ar Eanáir 29 ag Sábháil Mart Ionad i Fresno, Calif.
Mar thoradh air sin, British knockout artist Paul "Semtex" Daley (37-13-2) aghaidh Andy Uhrich (11-5) will now serve as the headliner. Ina theannta sin, a newly announced heavyweight encounter featuring Raphael Butler (9-1) aghaidh Tony Johnson (9-2) has been added to the main card.
An "Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich” preliminary card is also continuing to take shape, with the news that Ilima Macfarlane (2-0) Buaileann Amber Tackett(1-1) in flyweight action during a preliminary card that will stream LIVE on Bellator.com.
In addition to the aforementioned contests, Saor cloiche Fowler (2-0) Buaileann Idrees Wasi (1-3) i ngníomh welterweight, Mark Dickman (10-2) Bíonn ar Thomas Diagne (5-5-1) at 145-pounds, agus Paul Ruiz (6-2) troideanna Josh San Diego (5-1) in a bantamweight feature bout. Additional preliminary fights will be announced shortly, as will one final main card contest.
"Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich” airs live and free on Spike at 9 p.m. AGUS/8 p.m. CT, cé go mbeidh réamh babhtaí sruth beo ar Bellator.com agus An Bellator Mobile Appag 5 p.m. PT.

Macfarlane made a splash during her Bellator MMA debut back in August; defeating a game Maria Rios via cinneadh scoilt. The San Diego native is best known for her finish of Katie Castro during a regional event in the beginning of 2015, but she has made it clear during numerous interviews, as well as her performance inside the cage that she’s more than just some viral sensation. For a deeper dive on Macfarlane, look no further than these two pieces written by Bleacher Tuarascáil agus ESPN. Standing opposite of Macfarlane will be Tackett, who lives a short jaunt away from Save Mart Center in Fresno, Calif., and has fought twice professionally since 2008.
2015 didn’t go as planned for Raphael Butler. The former professional boxer was forced to sit idle after Lorenzo Hood withdrew from their scheduled bout at “Bellator 141: Guillard vs. Girt” shortly before they were supposed to enter the cage. But now it’s 2016, and the 31-year-old has big plans, beginning with his “Bellator 148: Koscheck vs. Secor” foe, Tony Johnson. Fresh off a victory against former Bellator MMA Heavyweight Champion Alexander Volkov, Johnson will once again look to implore his standout wrestling pedigree against a known striker to secure another victory.

The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.
A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening. Joel “Leanbh Bull” Bishop (0-0-1) returns to action after more than a year’s absence to face MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) in a light-heavyweight four-round bout. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “An Cannon” Berry (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, neamh-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” i mí na Samhna seo caite.
The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (12-8) agus Jon Lemke (5-3). Dubbed “The Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.
The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “An Lochlannach” Erickson (6-4) ag cur ar Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight matchup. Powell returns to the NEF cage for the first time since May 2014, while Erickson will be looking for his fourth consecutive win in Lewiston.

It will be a rematch of a contest won by Lamonte at “NEF XX.” Boyington’s supporters in the audience felt that the referee stopped the bout prematurely as Boyington was about to break out of, or had already broken out of, Lamonte’s armbar submission. After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT REMATCH PITTING FORMER CHAMPION EMANUEL NEWTON AGAINST LINTON VASSELL COMPLETES MAIN CARD OF ‘BELLATOR 149: SHAMROCK vs. GRACIE’
SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Eanáir 5, 2016) –The SPIKE-televised main card of "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " ar Feabhra. 19 ag Toyota Center i Houston, Texas is now complete, with the addition of a light heavyweight rematch featuring former Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Emanuel Newton (25-9-1) cruinniú Linton Vassell (15-5, 1 NC).
The fight joins a card that already features a double main event — Ken Shamrock (28-16-2) Buaileann Royce Gracie (14-2-3) don tríú uair agus Kimbo Slice (5-2) Beidh i ngleic leis an fear a bhí ag glaoch air amach ó chríochnaigh a gcuid cairdeas bliain ó shin, Dhafir Harris, dtugtar níos fearr mar "Cófra 5000.” In featherweight action, Emmanuel Sanchez (12-2) will look to continue his torrid pace when he meets Daniel Pineda (21-11) and a pair of lightweight assassins go to battle, nuair Melvin Guillard (35-15-2) returns to meet Mike Bronzoulis (18-9-1). Preliminary contests will be announced shortly.

Both Newton and Vassell were participants in the four-man, light-heavyweight No. 1 contender tournament at "Bellator MMA: Dynamite.” Now, the pair of 205-pounders will look to re-establish themselves atop one of the deepest and most competitive divisions in Bellator MMA.
A former champion, Newton will be making his 12ú appearance for the Scott Coker-led promotion and hopes to duplicate the success he experienced at the expense of Vassell during "Bellator 130: Newton vs. Vassell” back in 2014. Better known as “The Hardcore Kid,” the 31-year-old has been half of some of the most memorable contests in Bellator MMA history, namely, his spinning-backfist finish of “King Mo” and his back-and-forth war with current Bellator MMA Light Heavyweight Champion Liam McGeary.
Undoubtedly one of the goals for Vassell in 2016 is finding his way onto the recently announced Bellator MMA debut in London later this year. For this to come to fruition, “The Swarm” surely needs to redeem himself from the fifth-round, rear-naked choke submission defeat he suffered at the hands of his"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " comhraic. Feabhra 19 will mark the seventh time Vassell has competed under the Bellator MMA banner and “The Swarm” will be looking to add to his impressive finishing mark of 13 stoppages i 15 victories.
