In the card’s co-main event, perennial heavyweight contender Matt Mitrione (13-7, 1 NC) will take on the hard-hitting Timothy Johnson (13-6) in an exciting matchup that will likely not go to the judges’ scorecards.

Bellator 243: Chandler vs. Henderson 2 airs live on Paramount Network and DAZN on Friday, August 7 på 10 p.m. ET/9 p.m. CT. The event will also air live on Sky Sports in the UK. Preliminary action will stream on Bellator MMA’s YouTube channel.

Making his 23rd promotional appearance for Bellator, “Iron” Michael Chandler will have the opportunity to silence his critics and prove that his November 19, 2016 split decision-win over Henderson was no fluke. Following victories in each of his first 12 professionelle anfald, highlighted by his first Bellator lightweight world title win and a pair of successful title defenses, the High Ridge, Missouri-native quickly made a name for himself in a stacked 155-pound class. The 34-year-old would eventually go on to collect a promotional record three lightweight title reigns that included three successful title defenses. Having won three of his previous five career rematches, including a pair of lightweight world title victories over Patricky Pitbull og Brent Primus, den 2009 NCAA Division I All-American wrestler at the University of Missouri will look to add to that total and remind everyone what the former champion is capable of.

Kæmper ud af Glendale, Ariz., “Smooth” will once again have a shot at revenge with his longtime rival Chandler, following multiple attempts to schedule the fight over the past year. The highly anticipated rematch was originally slated to take place on New Year’s Eve at Rizin.20 i Japan, before Henderson was forced to withdraw due to an injury suffered during training. A few months later, the two former lightweight world champions were set to face off in the main event of Bellator’s return to the Windy City on June 6, before the global pandemic led to yet another postponement. Nu, the MMA Lab-product will look to settle the score and collect his fifth consecutive victory en route to a final push at Bellator’s 155-pound strap. With half of his 28 karriere vinder kommer i form af knockout eller underkastelse, the 36-year-old former UFC and WEC lightweight world champion will aim to put all doubts to rest and finish his nemesis in emphatic fashion on August 7.

After initially being scheduled to face Ronny markesBellator 241 in March prior to the pandemic, Matt Mitrione is now slated to meet Johnson, a competitor who also prefers to keep the fight upright. Prior to his MMA career, the 41-year old Illinois-native was a standout defensive end at Purdue University who subsequently earned his way into the NFL, playing six seasons as a member of the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. He ultimately found his way into MMA where he became the high-level competitor he is today, defeating the likes of the late Kimbo Slice, Derrick Lewis,Roy Nelson og Fedor Emelianenko.

A heavy betting underdog coming into his last matchup with Tyrell FortuneBellator 239, Timothy Johnson shocked many when he finished the undefeated competitor five years his junior via highlight reel-knockout in the opening frame. The win was the first for the Xtreme Couture-fighter inside the Bellator cage, who signed with the promotion in 2018 following seven outings in the UFC. With an impressive finishing mark of 10 stoppages in his 13 vinder som en professionel, Johnson will be looking to deliver another impressive outing when he returns to action next month.

CONTENDERS CLOTHING LAUNCHES FIGHTING FOR FIGHTERS FUNDALL PROCEEDS TO GO DIRECTLY TO PROFESSIONAL FIGHTERS AFFECTED BY THE COVID-19 CRISIS!

FIGHTERS CAN SIGN UP NOW FOR A DIRECT PAYMENT SENT OUT FIRST WEEK OF MAY ALL PROCEEDS FROM THE NEW’GO THE SOCAL DISTANCEFUNDRAISER T-SHIRT& 10% OF SALES AT CONTENDERSCLOTHING.COM TO GO TO FUND
Las Vegas, NV. (April 13, 2020): Contenders Clothing is proud to announce the creation of the Fighting for Fighters Fund, a new program that will put money directly, and immediately, into the hands of professional fighters affected by the current Covid-19 crisis.

With combat sports across the United States being suspended indefinitely, many fighters who earn a living competing professionally are self-employed contractors leaving them out of work and not eligible for state unemployment. While there is money earmarked for contract workers under the Cares Act, funds have been hard to, if not impossible, to access, leaving many working class fighters in dire need of assistance.

While some well-known apparel companies are donating to large and mostly worldwide health organizations, we’ve yet to see any company directly help fighters,” said Contenders Chief Executive Officer, Jonathan Snyder.

We have been embraced by professional fighters of all levels who have worn our boxer briefs and t-shirts at weigh ins and we truly consider anyone who wears us as part of our family. They’ve had our back and now it’s time to have theirs.

Funding for Fighting for Fighters will come from the sales of an exclusive, ‘Go The Social Distancet-shirt created specifically as a fundraiser for the program. Desuden, Contenders Clothing is giving 10% of every single sale throughout the entire month of April at www.contendersclothing.com directly into the fund.

Payments will go out the first week of May and will be divided equally from the overall amount Fighting for Fighters raises between all eligible fighters.

We’ve come to find that fighters are special people in and out of the ring and not enough people understand their sacrifice. Hvis Fighting for Fighters can literally buy groceries for a fightersfamily for a week or pay a utility bill at a time when they desperately need it, then we will consider it a success.

If you are an active professional fighter based in the United States whose income has been affected by the Covid-19 crisis please sign up at:
https://contendersclothing.com/pages/contenders-fighting-for-fighters-fund

If you’d like to purchase the Go the Social Distance t-shirt and have all proceeds go to the Fighting for Fighters Fund, please head to:

At tage fitness til den digitale tidsalder

ved: Hvad Andz

WhatsApp ping 10:00 ... ”Hej, dette er dit motionscenter, på grund af coronavirus er gymnastiksalen lukket indtil videre ”.

Hvis du er som mig, og du har brug for løberens høje niveau for at holde din krop og sind i skak, så var ovenstående besked dommedagsscenariet. Glem toiletpapiret, Jeg har brug for mine vægte!

Det er for mig, en gymnastiksal…hvad med de personlige trænere, MMA-krigere, bryderne, de boksere, der tjener deres levebrød på alt, hvad Covid-19 tvinger os til ikke at?

Disse erhverv er muligvis ikke en "vigtig tjeneste" som ambulancechauffører og supermarkeder, men disse fagfolk er en vigtig tjeneste for de kommende dage for sindet, krop, og sjæl for alle, især under en epidemi bliver mere og mere vigtig for dagen, selv i timen.

Den gode nyhed er…digital kommunikation af fysisk kunst er IKKE en ny ting. Træningsvideoer, brydning og MMA-kamp er alle blevet digitaliseret startende fra tv-spots, YouTube og næsten hvor som helst du kan finde en skærm.

Første skridt er at spørge dig selv, hvordan har du tilbudt dine tjenester indtil nu?

Nu, kan du replikere det foran et kamera? 

Nu, kan du bruge en computer og lægge ting på et medlemswebsted?
(se lige det her https://www.capterra.com/sem-compare/membership-management-software)

Hey! Du har en forretning!

Næsten enhver uddannelsesbaseret service, selv fysisk kan digitaliseres og præsenteres. Do Not, det bliver ikke så godt som de rigtige ting og nej, du kan ikke forvente, at dine kunder har det udstyr, som gymnastiksalen har…

…Men her er den vanskelige del, og her er forskellen mellem en vellykket kampagne og en, der ikke er ...

Første ting at forstå er, folk betaler for værdi, især i denne æra, hvor udgifterne skal gøres godt. Så lad os gøre det godt

Mulighed A: Tonen ned. Udstyr er for det meste utilgængeligt, så skift dit træningsprogram op for ikke at have brug for de smarte stykker. Spørge dig selv, hvad kan du bytte ind eller ud af rutinen og stadig få den effekt, du leder efter?

En trappemester kan erstattes af trapper, vægte kan erstattes af sten (omhyggeligt).

Hvis du laver dine træningsvideoer med dette tonede udstyr, gør det til noget, som alle kan gøre, på ethvert budget, du fik dig selv en vinder.

Dette er også muligheden for at kombinere andre tjenester, der arbejder sammen, såsom ernæring under isolation. Et uendeligt niveau af muligheder, måske endda mere end normalt.

Mulighed B: Upsell – Folk har ikke dette udstyr, hvorfor ikke få det til dem. Alle butikker lider. Nå ud til disse butikker og fabrikker og indgå en aftale, som du vil hjælpe med at lette salget for dem.

På tur, du annoncerer for en særlig rabat på det bedste udstyr. Mens du begynder at optjene provision på dette salg. En ægte win-win for alle. Hvis du har brug for hjælp til din digitale markedsføring, chatte med disse fyre.

Husk dit publikum, dens demografiske og hvordan det markedsføres.

Jeg ved, at dette er new age-typer marketingtaktikker til den jordnære gymnastik, det er de tidspunkter, vi skal lære at tilpasse os og ændre…eller forsvinder.
