HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy strijdgemeenschap (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will be bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma in November.
The main event of LFA 27 will feature the return of LFA lightweight champion Robert Watley. He will put his title on the line against LFA lightweight #1 contender Daryl Wilson in battle between two of the hottest 155-pound prospects in MMA. LFA 27 – Watley vs. Wilson takes place Vrijdag, 10 november at the FireLake Arena in Shawnee, Oklahoma. De gehele belangrijkste kaart zal live worden uitgezonden en de landelijke op AXS TV bij 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA is bringing a lightweight world title fight to Oklahoma at LFA 27,” Opgegeven Soares. “Robert Watley is the LFA lightweight world champion and one of the top prospects in the sport. He won the title by defeating the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés at LFA 17. Watley will now defend his title for the first time against Daryl Wilson, who earned his title shot with a highlight reel 64-second knockout of Jarrod Card at LFA 18.”
Tickets for LFA 27 – Watley vs. Wilson are available for purchase NOW at FireLakeArena.com. You can also support your favorite fighter by purchasing your ticket through CombatTickets.com and selecting their name at checkout.
Watley (8-1) was considered one of the top lightweight prospects in the sport before signing with LFA earlier this year. His fight résumé consisted of multiple regional titles throughout the east coast and an impressive seven-fight win streak. That earned him an immediate shot at the inaugural LFA lightweight title against the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés in the main event of LFA 17 in juli. The Maryland native capitalized on that opportunity by shutting down the highly-touted RFA champion on every score card en route to his eighth consecutive victory. Watley now looks to put a stamp on his divisional dominance with his first title defense at LFA 27.
Wilson (7-1) is a home grown Oklahoma talent that made his pro debut for Legacy FC two years ago after competing twice for the organization as an amateur. In Augustus, he made his LFA debut at LFA 18 on the heels of four straight wins. He fought longtime Oklahoma City lightweight standout Jarrod Card and needed only 64-seconds to dispatch the former Bellator fighter. Wilson stopped the 11-year MMA vet Card with a stunning one-punch KO that is now a popular pick for “KO van het Jaar”. Belangrijker, that KO catapulted him to #1 contender status. The Sapulpa, Oklahoma native will now get a shot at the title in front of his home crowd in the main event of LFA 27.
Het co-main event van LFA 27 will feature a long-awaited showdown between two of the biggest names in the LFA light-heavyweight division. Myron Dennis (15-6) returns to the LFA Octagon against Ryan Spann (11-5), who is the man he was originally scheduled to face in the main event of LFA 9 in april. Spann was injured while training for that fight and Dennis ended up fighting Brazilian standout Danilo Marques instead. The change of opponent did not change Dennis’ desired outcome as the former Legacy FC light-heavyweight champion picked up the hard fought decision win. Spann fought less than two weeks ago at LFA 23 and earned arguably the biggest win of his career. Spann battered LeMarcus Tucker before choking him out via Rear Naked Choke in Round 1. Now the table is set for Dennis and Spann to meet once and for all at LFA 27.
Currently Announced Main Card (Uitgezonden op AXS TV op 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT):
Main Event | Lightweight Title Bout (155 pond)
– Robert Watley (8-1) vs. Daryl Wilson (7-1)

A.J. MCKEE REPLACES INJURED JAMES GALLAGHER IN BELLATOR 187 MAIN EVENT, MEETS IRELAND’S BRIAN MOORE ON FRIDAY, November. 10 AT 3ARENA IN DUBLIN

Laat een reactie achter

 

OOK, SBG’S SINEAD ‘KO’ KAVANAGH AND KEVIN ‘BABY SLICE’ FERGUSON JR. BOTH SET TO COMPETE ON THE CARD

JEREMIAH LABIANO NOW TAKES ON ISRAEL’S NOAD LAHAT IN BELLATOR’S RETURN TO TEL AVIV AT Bellator 188

LOS ANGELES – Bellator MMA is set for its return to Dublin, Ierland, as undefeated sensation A.J. McKee (9-0) will look to play the role of spoiler against Brian Moore (10-5), a teammate of James Gallagher at Dublin’s SBG, in the featherweight main event of Bellator 187: McKee tegen. Moore at 3Arena on November. 10.

 

In addition to the new main event, Ierland Sinead Kavanagh (4-2) zullen strijden Maria Casanova (2-4-1) in a women’s featherweight main card bout, terwijl Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. (1-1) will compete against Fred Freeman (1-0) in een 165 pound-catchweight contest.

 

James Gallagher was initially slated to headline against Jeremiah Monaghan, but was forced to withdraw from the card after suffering an injury during training, leaving room for his divisional rival to headline an event in hostile territory. Moore’s previously scheduled opponent, Andre Goncalves (3-1), will now face Northern Ireland’s Decky Dalton (7-3) in een Bellator 187 featherweight matchup.

 

Bellator 187: McKee tegen. Moore will be broadcast free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. EN/ 8 p.m. CT. Tickets for the event are on sale now and currently available at Ticketmaster.ie.

 

Labiano will now move to Bellator 188: Pitbull vs. Weichel 2 one week later in Tel Aviv, where he is set to take on Israel-born Noad All (11-3) in a main card featherweight bout. Bellator 188 takes place inside Menora Mivtachim Arena and airs on SPIKE at 9 p.m. EN/ 8 p.m. CT op November. 17.

 

The son of respected MMA veteran Antonio McKee, A.J. McKee spent his entire childhood in the gym soaking up every bit of knowledge and experience available to him. The 22-year-old prodigy has applied that knowledge inside the Bellator cage and has made quite a statement in his first nine fights as an MMA professional, racking up seven finishes in nine outings. The Long Beach, Calif.-native now heads to Ireland, a country that is all too familiar with “Mercenary” due to his feud with Gallagher.

 

Known around “The Emerald Isle” as “Pikeman,” Brian Moore will be making his third appearance in the Bellator cage and his first main event. Having previously competed against top-rated competition the likes of Daniel Weichel and Mike Wilkinson, the 30-year-old SBG Ireland standout most recently stopped Michal Horejsi via punches at Bellator 177 this past April. Moore grew up 90 minutes from 3Arena and will undoubtedly have home field advantage against McKee on November. 10.

 

Fresh off his first-round TKO finish of D.J. Griffin, bij Bellator 179 in Londen, the son of the legendary Kimbo Slice will return to Europe in search of his second victory as professional. Also training under the tutelage of Antonio McKee at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach, Calif., Slice is one of the main sparring partners for A.J. McKee, Aaron Pico en Joey Davis. Vechten uit St.. Louis, Fred Freeman made his professional debut in March, finishing his opponent with punches in the second round of their regional matchup. Before turning pro, Freeman laced up the gloves nine times as an amateur.

 

Set for her fourth Bellator appearance, Sinead Kavanagh returns to the site of her promotional debut, a venue that saw her defeat Elina Kallionidou with a decisive victory at Bellator 169. A three-time veteran of BAMMA, “KO” most recently took on Arlene Blencowe, who now fights Julia Voordeel for the women’s featherweight title. A native of France, Maria Casanova has competed professionally since 2015. With two submission victories on her resume, the KTP Scola-product will look to hand Kavanagh the first submission loss of her career.

 

Compleet Bellator 187: McKee tegen. Moore Strijd kaart:

Vedergewicht Main Event: A.J. McKee (9-0) vs. Brian Moore (10-5)

Vrouwen vedergewicht hoofdkaartgevecht: Sinead Kavanagh (4-2) vs. Maria Casanova (2-4-1)

CHRIS HONEYCUTT GEVECHTEN ONAFVALLENDE JIU-JITSU ACE RAFAEL LOVATO JR. MIDDENGEWICHT CO-MAIN EVENT

LOS ANGELES - Het vedergewicht kampioenschap voor dames van Bellator ligt voor het grijpen Vrijdag, December. 1 wanneer Julia Budd (10-2) verdedigt haar titel in een rematch tegen Arlene Blencowe (10-6) bij Bellator 189 binnen WinStar World Casino and Resort in Thackerville, Oklahoma., dezelfde locatie waar Budd eerder dit jaar de inaugurele gordel veroverde.

 

Bovendien, het co-main event van Bellator 189: Budd vs.. Blencowe 2 zal beschikken over een middengewicht wedstrijd pitting stijgende mededinger Chris Honeycutt (10-1) tegen de ongeslagen Rafael Lovato Jr. (6-0). Extra hoofdkaart en voorlopige wedstrijden worden de komende weken aangekondigd.

Blencowe 2 zijn nu in de verkoop en kunnen worden gekocht bij de kassa van WinStar World Casino and Resort, evenals Ticketmaster en Bellator.com.

 

EEN STRIKEFORCE-veteraan, Budd gaat de Bellator-kooi binnen December. 1 als de eerste en enige vedergewichtkampioen voor vrouwen in de promotiegeschiedenis. Momenteel midden in een acht-gevecht, zesjarige winning streak, de inwoner van British Columbia heeft in de loop van haar carrière overwinningen behaald Marloes Coenen, Germaine de Randamie, evenals Gina Carano in kickboksen. Budd heeft ook eerder meegedaan aan bantamgewicht, teen-tot-teen gaan met zowel Amanda Nunes als Ronda Rousey tijdens haar ambtsperiode bij STRIKEFORCE. De trend van het aangaan van topconcurrentie voortzetten, Budd ontmoet Blencowe bij Bellator 189, in haar tweede hoofdevenement met Bellator.

 

De vechtende trots van New South Wales, Australië, Arlene Blencowe komt in haar gevecht met Budd die een winning streak van drie gevechten berijdt, meest recentelijk een gesplitste beslissing tegen Sinead Kavanagh in augustus. Een voormalig wereldkampioen bokser onder de World Boxing Federation en Women’s International Boxing Association, "Angerfist" versloeg Budd bijna tijdens hun vorige bijeenkomst om Bellator 162. Een trotse moeder van twee, de 34-jarige heeft nu de kans om meer goud aan haar mantel toe te voegen, dit keer in de vorm van een Bellator MMA-kampioenschap.

 

Sinds de sprong van weltergewicht naar middengewicht, de Fresno, De in Californië gevestigde Chris Honeycutt voelt zich alsof hij thuis is in zijn nieuwe divisie. Op een golf van vaart, die voor het laatst uitmondde in een vicieuze stop tegen Kevin Casey, “The Cutt” moet nu door BJJ-aas Rafael Lovato Jr. De ongeslagen Lovato Jr. heeft zijn eigen succes ervaren sinds hij bij Bellator tekende, inclusief een overwinning op onderwerping Mike "Biggie" Rhodes. Deze twee middleweights zullen elkaar ontmoeten in het co-main event van Bellator 189: Budd vs.. Blencowe 2 in een spannende strijd tussen een tweevoudig NCAA Division I Wrestling All-American aan de Edinboro University die het opneemt tegen een World Jiu-Jitsu en World No-Gi Jiu-Jitsu-kampioen.

NEF ANNOUNCES MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD FOR PORTLAND DEBUT

Laat een reactie achter

Portland, Maine (Oktober 6, 2017) - New England Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland on Vrijdag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the full fight card for the event featuring a full slate of professional and amateur mixed-martial-arts bouts.

Maine fan-favorite Paul Gorman (10-9) is scheduled to take on James “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” Blair (5-1) in the main event of the evening. Gorman, the former NEF bantamweight titleholder and a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt out of the Academy in Portland, makes his return to the NEF cage after a three-year absence. Blair is a hot prospect from the world-renowned American Top Team in Coconut Creek, Florida where he trains alongside a veritable murderers’ row of current and former world champions like Mike Brown (26-9), Tyron Woodley (18-3-1), and Joanna Jędrzejczyk (14-0) om er maar een paar te noemen.

Jayda “Lil Killah” Bailey (0-0) makes her debut just eight days after her 18th birthday, the legal minimum age for competing in MMA in Maine, in a bantamweight bout with Danae Dostie (0-0) terwijl Sarah Matulis (0-0) en Chelsea Elizabeth(0-0) face off in yet another double amateur debut.
