THE TRASH TALK STARTS FAST AND FURIOUS BETWEEN DENNING AND DEXTER

 

 

ЗА ОБЈАВЉИВАЊЕ ОДМАХ: Левистон, Мејн (Јануар 6, 2017) -Нови Енгланд Фигхтс (НЕФ) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Фебруар 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “НЕФ 27: RESURGENCE.” Раније данас, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional catchweight fight to the card. Матт “Кен Лутка” Деннинг (3-5) Планирано је да се суочи Рицки Дектер (0-0) at a weight of 160-pounds.

 

Denning is fresh off an appearance for World Series of Fighting (ВСОФ) at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past New Year’s Eve. All of Denning’s previous professional bouts had been for NEF. The Lewiston resident is looking to break a string of three losses after submitting Derek Shorey (4-8) last spring atNEF 23” in Hyannis, Масачусетс. Denning is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

 

I’m coming back to NEF to make a statement,” said Denning emphatically. “I’m coming off of a couple of losses in a row and I’m coming to get that win. They think I’m all Jiu Jitsu and can’t take a punch. You want to brawl with me? Let’s stand toe-to-toe. You’re going to try and lay on me like you did in your amateur career? I’m going to welcome Dexter to the pros in a mean way. It’s a new level here and I’m going to come out on top!’

 

Ricky Dexter will vacate the NEF Amateur Welterweight Title to turn professional and face Denning on Фебруар 11. Dexter won that championship last February with a first-round technical knockout of Caleb Farrington (3-1). Као аматер, Dexter put together a very impressive record of 5-2 with all five of his wins coming by finish. Dexter represents Team Irish in Brewer, Мејн.

 

Once Matt Denning feels my power and the inability to take me down, he’s going to be looking for a way out like he always does, except I’m not looking for the sub,” Саид Дектер. “February 11th, I’m going to show the NEF fans that Matt Denning is in the fight game for the wrong reasons. I’m coming from the ‘ammo league,’ but I’ve been training with killers my whole career. I’m going to show everyone I belong here.

 

NEF’s next event, “НЕФ 27: RESURGENCE” одвија на Субота, Фебруар 11, 2017 у 7 п.м. Улазнице се крећу од $25 и су на продају сада у ввв.ТхеЦолисее.цом или позивом на бок оффице Цолисее у 207.783.2009, extension 525.

Sergey Romanov preparing to ruin Magomed Sultanakhmedov’s comeback party

М-1 Цхалленге 75, Март 3 у Москви, Русија
СТ. ПЕТЕРСБУРГ, Русија (Јануар 5, 2017) – Hot welterweight prospect Сергеј “StreetfighterRomanov is training hard to ruin the comeback of Russian veteran Магомед “Вхите Волф” Султанакхмедов in an interesting match-up Март 3 на М-1 Цхалленге 75 у Русији.

The М-1 Цхалленге 75 Главни догађај, featuring a battle of undefeated welterweights between defending champion Алексеј Кунцхенко (15-0-0, М-1: 7-0-0), Русије, takes on Kazakhstan challenger Схаукат Ракхмонов (7-0-0, М-1: 4-0-0),was previously announced.
М-1 Цхалленге 75 преносиће се уживо из Москве у високој резолуцији ввв.М1Глобал.ТВ. Гледаоци ће моћи да прате прелиминарне борбе и главну картицу пријавом на региструју на ввв.М1Глобал.ТВ. Навијачи могу да гледају све акције на својим рачунарима, као и на Андроид и Аппле паметних телефона и таблета.
Due to a series of injuries, Sulktanakhmedov (18-5-0, М-1: 10-1-0) has been inactive for the past five years, since he knocked out Tyson Jeffries in the second round of their 2011 боре на М-1 Цхалленге 24.
A former M-1 Selection champion, Sultanakhmedov is dropping down one weight class from middleweight to fight Romanov. During his MMA career, feared striker Sultanakhmedov has knocked out the likes of Dmitri Samoilov, Victor Nemkov, Pavel Kusch и Pliinio Cruz, међу више познатих.
His tremendous flair and style makes him a fan favorite, especially hisone-shoot, one-killattack. The 32-year-old has fought outside of his native Russia, in the United States and Japan, and during his fighting hiatus he served as referee.
Although he isn’t looking past Sultanakhmedov, fellow Russian fighter Romanov hopes that an impressive victory over Sultankhmedov will position him for his first M-1 Challenge title shot against the Kunchenkp-Rakhmonov winner.
Romanov has had impressive victories in M-1 Challenge competition, including a decision over against Brazilian foe Carlos Pereira last October at М-1 Цхалленге 71, as well as a first-round stoppage via punches of Andreas Birgels this past June at М-1 Цхалленге 68.
I’ve been working on my strength,” Romanov said from his training camp, “because the champion in my weight class, Алексеј Кунцхенко, is physically strong. I need to catch up. Not that I’m looking forward to a title fight, but I always have grandiose plans, тако, we’ll see how that goes. Odmah, I’m focused on Sultanakhmedov, and I think my fight with him would be no harder than a possible fight with Kunchenko.
I started training camp with two workouts a day, but I felt sick and decided to cutback to only one workout a day until I soon return to full mode. I’ve been training at home (Ст. Петербург) but will soon go to Ryazan to wrestling training camp. Онда, I will go back to St. Petersburg to prepare at camp, and go to Borovaya for boxing. My opponent is left-handed, so I need appropriate sparring partners, but the guys in my camp are a great help.
I know my opponent well having watched his fights as a youngster when he was champion. Сада, we need to reevaluate him. He was a good fighter who trains at ‘Goretswhere there is, in principle, guys there who are top level. It’s difficult to say what form he has now because he hasn’t fought in so long. Сада, he is at the peak age for a fighter, 32, so we’ll see. I don’t think I’ll be favored in this fight, but I will go forward despite being the underdog.
Romanov (Р) is a solid all-around MMA fighter

Од уласка у Беллатор ММА терен у 2013, Kongo has strung together an impressive run that has seen him emerge victorious in seven of nine contests, including three consecutive victories. Са 37 career fights under his belt, the Frenchman has tallied 25 professional wins, укључујући 12 путем нокаутом. The knockout artist hopes to build off his victory over Tony Johnson at "Беллатор 161: Конго вс. Џонсон," when he welcomes British sensation Oli Thompson back into the Bellator cage.

Hailing from East Sussex, Енглеска, Thompson enters the matchup in search of his first career win under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion. Dating back to 2015, “The Spartan” collected wins in five of his last six bouts, including a pair of brutal first round knockouts. Of his 17 career wins, the 36-year-old powerhouse has finished 13 од њих, including seven knockouts. A former title-holder of Britain’s Strongest Man competition, Thompson will now look to add to that total when he and Kongo faceoff at SAP Center in San Jose.

Fighting out of Half Moon Bay, Цалиф., the undefeated Piccolotti is set to return to San Jose, where he has dominated competition over the past few years. Since signing with Bellator MMA, the 28-year-old lightweight has won all five of his bouts, including four consecutive victories in the “Capital of Silicon Valley.” Piccolotti dazzled in his most recent win over Брендон Гиртз, ending the veteran’s three-fight winning streak while once again displaying his lethal combination of flawless jiu-jitsu and striking. Piccolotti has finished his opponent in six of nine career wins and three of his past four, making him one of the most dangerous weapons in the 155-pound division.

Primus also carries with him an undefeated target on his chest, as the battle to remain an unbeaten lightweights goes through SAP Center in 2017. Similar to Piccolotti, Primus saw immediate success in the world of mixed martial arts, recording first round finishes in each of his first five fights to begin his professional career. The five-time Bellator MMA veteran hopes to keep the ball rolling, as a win over the fan-favorite Piccolotti would certainly open a lot of doors. Hailing from Portland, Oregon, the 31-years-old Primus hopes to build off of a 2016 campaign that was highlighted by a key win over Brazilian veteran “Toninho Furia.”

П: For Paul Daley…We had a chance to talk before you were schedule to fight Derek Anderson at ‘Bellator 163.’ He made the weight, but the fight didn’t happen. Тако, what’s going to change this time? Are you going to do anything different in your preparation and what do you expect from Brennan Ward?

Паул Далеи: Things didn’t go according to plan at the last event that I was scheduled to compete in. I made the weight, but it was what happened after that was the problem. Those problems have been ironed out and we should have everything back on track and I’m ready to compete in what is going to be the most exciting fight on the card.

П: For Brennan Ward…Both of you have definitely delivered exciting knockouts in recent performances, so I want to know what your expectation of the fight is and if you think it will be a quick showcase.

Бреннан Вард: They don’t just line two guys up like Paul and I for no reasonon a card like this, that is probably the biggest card of the year and one of the biggest Bellator cards of all-time == They’re putting our matchup on there for a reason. They know fireworks are going to go off and they know this fight isn’t going the distance. Paul and I end fights, it’s what we do. Like he said, we’re going to put on the most exciting fight of the night for sure.

П: I know that clip of you and Tito wrestling in college has been going around, so what do you expect from Tito this time around compared to the Tito you saw back then?

Цхаел Соннен: Погледајте, Tito’s a great fighter. He was a hell of a wrestler…I caught him in one position in that match, I’m not hanging my hat on that. I’m pumped to be in there and compete against a Hall of Famer like Tito. I’m going to do everything I can to beat him, but I don’t dismiss how good this guy is.

П: It’s been a while since we saw you in there with Liam McGeary in that title fight. Тако, from then to now, what’s changed and what are you going to show us?

Тито Ортиз: I’ve been at work now for three years. I came from the UFC and Bellator gave me a chance to reinvigorate my career and I want to leave on my own terms. I want to leave respectfully. Scott Coker has done an amazing job with the company already and I sat back, thinking about what would be my last fight. All of a sudden, I’m watching Bellator on Spike TV and Chael Sonnen comes screaming out, calling me a coward and saying that he wants to fight me and I swear there has never been a bigger smile on my face. I was already getting ready to fight in November. I wasn’t sure who my opponent was going to be, but I was getting in shape. I’ve been training now for almost four months and this is probably one of the longest camps I’ve had and it’s time to showcase my skills. Chael says he’s fighting because he’s jealous and that’s the wrong way to come into a fight. I’m going in to get redemption and to me Chael is my enemy. This is no game, this is nothing fun, this is what I do for a living. I train and I go out to try and hurt my opponent. I know what I need to do. I need to defend the takedown, I need to watch out for the punches, I need to watch out for the guillotine. I know all of the moves that Chael has done and my job is to go in and destroy him. О Јануар 21, two days before my birthday, I want to get the ‘Fight of the Night.’ I hope Chael’s in great shape because when I’m on top of him, he’s going to shit himself. I’m going to throw my elbows through his face and like I said, this is no joke. This is serious to me because my family’s watching, my kids are watching, and all of my fans are watching. I’ve given so much for this and I’ve sacrificed everything. I sacrificed my Thanksgiving, Божић, and my New Year’s for this.

П: Of all the guys you’ve verbally dueled with in your career, how would you size up where Tito stands? How does he compare to other guys that you’ve gone back and forth with verbally?

Цхаел Соннен: Човек, it’s painful. It was painful just listening to him read through that list of notes. He just rattled off all of his bullets right there in one answer and I think he asked to go to the bathroom during it, which was a little weird. I don’t care, I never thought about Tito Ortiz. I didn’t come to this organization to fight Tito Ortiz. I’ve been chasing Wanderlei Silva around, but Wanderlei is busy until the summer. They called me and asked if I’d fight Tito on Јануар 21 and I didn’t have anything else going on, so I said yes.

П: Beyond this fight, what are your goals in Bellator?

Цхаел Соннен: I want to compete at Bellator. I want to be a champion, get to the top, and compete with all the guys. I want to find a weight class. I’d like to do it at 205-pounds, but I think there’s an opportunity at 185 and now we have some big signings at heavyweight and catchweight too. I just think there’s a lot of opportunity over here. I can tell you as far as training, working hard and being prepared, that’s what I do. I do it every day. I will bring my skills to the fight and if they’re enough I’ll win; If they’re not, I won’t. That’s just the way that this sport is played and I’m just looking forward to competing with these guys.

П: Coming back to compete in California, with your history with that athletic commission, you’ve already taken an out-of-competition test. How do you look at that process? Were you surprised by the test? Was there an understanding that it was going to be a part of the deal to get you back in California?

Цхаел Соннен: I was surprised by it. That’s why the test works. I was not ready to be tested and I didn’t know that I was going to be tested and I haven’t thought about it a whole lot. You have to understand that when you’re a guy with my background that’s just coming off of a suspension, that’s the way it goes. You’re going to have more tests than other guys and that’s just fair.

П: Коначно, can you just size up the marketplace since you left UFC and since they’ve been purchased?

Цхаел Соннен: Погледајте, I’m brand new. I only know a few guys at Bellator. I know three people, that’s how new I am. I’ve been to two Bellator shows; one at Mohegan Sun Arena and one in San Jose. Both events were sold out! When I was in San Jose, I was sitting there and down the ramp comes the greatest heavyweight of all time, Федор Емелианенко. Coker signed him and didn’t even say anything to anybody. The place was packed and the ratings were going higher. I wanted to come to Bellator when I saw Кен Схамроцк walk the ramp and I thought this is awesome. Connecticut and then California, both sides of the country and both sold out. The household name that Bellator has become is amazing. I used to have to explain to people what UFC and what MMA was. When I tell people I’m with Bellator, they know exactly what it is. When Tito and I met in that college wrestling match, there was 80 people there tops, nobody cared. It was a big sacrifice just to show off in front of 80 људи. To show off in front of a sold out arena, a record-breaking show, is fun. We get Paul Daley and Brennan Ward to entertain us before we have to go out and take care of business.

П: Тито, do you have any comment to Chael’s comments earlier about you reading from a script and all?

Тито Ортиз: This guy knows that he bit off a little more than he can chew. I’ve been through 20 years of competition, won world titles, and stepped into that cage over and over again. Доказ је у пудинг. I’m sitting here listening to the tone that Chael has and it sounds like he’s drowning and on Јануар 21, he’s going to be drowning in his own blood.

Цхаел Соннен: I told you he was out of bullets! I warned you ahead of time!

П: Chael, congratulations on Celebrity Apprentice last night…great to see you on the debut there. How difficult is it for you to balance the Celebrity Apprentice, ЕСПН, your podcast, and training all together?

Цхаел Соннен: I hate days off. I hate it more than anything. When I look at my calendar before I go to bed, I hate seeing gaps in there. So as far as training goes, I’m in the gym three hours a day. It’s an hour in the morning, maybe even less, two hours in the afternoon, I’m out the door in three in a half hours tops. Тако, that leaves me with another 20 hours in the day and I like to fill it. I don’t like to sleep a lot and that’s just the way it goes. I like to stay busy, but nothing interferes with preparation for the competition. I haven’t missed a practice, a run, a workout, a sparring session; I go every day. I go to practice every day no matter what, два пута на дан. There are parts when I’ll pick up the intensity and work a little harder and then there are parts when I’ll take a break to get a drink of water, but it doesn’t change for me. Спреман сам да идем, то је то.

П: Chael, I know you said that you had a little more of a looser camp, where you’ve trained with a lot of different fighters, especially due to all of the traveling. How has it been, having access to some elite fighters in other parts of the country?

Цхаел Соннен: I love working out in other parts of the country and I love going to different gyms. And that’s something new to me, because I didn’t used to travel. I was just locked at home in Portland, Oregon, but we had a hotbed out there, with guys like Randy Couture and Evan Tanner, I could name drop for you and it would really impress. We had a really great system out there, but it dried up and some of those guys retired. Some of them moved away and some of the gyms closed down, so all of these new traveling has been great. I’ve got a lot of rounds in and worked out with Georges St-Pierre and a bunch of hammers out there that you’ve never heard of yet, but you will. I’m getting good work in and I’m learning from these guys. The one thing that I try to do, and I copied Randy Couture on this, is always train with the kids. He would be in high school workout rooms doing some wrestling practice and it was very hard for the next generation to ever get ahead of him because he always trained with that younger generation. Тако, I spend a lot of time with those kids and I have my own practices on top of that. I’m not positive that I can take Tito down, I’m not positive that I can out-box him; everything has to get better. I have to get stronger, брже, better with more technique and better strategy and it all takes time.

Campos enters the bout riding a recent string of success, as the 28-year-old lightweight put together a flawless 2016 campaign that included a pair of noteworthy victories over Дјамил Чан и Мелвин Гуиллард. “The Stallion” continues to provide entertaining fights, as the Lubbock, Texas native has finished opponents in 10 његовог 17 победе, including five knockouts and three of the first-round variety. Campos will be searching for his first three-fight winning streak under the Bellator MMA umbrella since 2013.

 

Following an explosive start to his professional career, collecting victories in 11 од његова прва 12 крајеви, including one no-contest, Anderson has continued his success under the direction of Bellator MMA. Since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion in 2013, “The Barbaric” has tallied five impressive wins, highlighted by two knockouts and a pair of victories over Патрицки Фреире. Hailing from San Diego, Цалиф., Anderson has finished 11 његовог 14 victims, and will not have to travel far as he prepares for number 12. With back-to-back victories over the aforementioned Freire and most recently Ви Авад у “Bellator 160,” Anderson has quickly entered the mix as one of the division’s top contenders. The 26-year-old lightweight will now look to take down the Bellator MMA veteran Campos and add yet another big name to his admirable resume.

With six of her 10 каријера освојити долази путем нокаутом или подношења, look for Schneider to attack early and often in a flyweight clash that features two of the more dangerous opponents in the division.
