Katie Baker, an 18-year-old from Gardiner, Maine, might be new to the NEF cage, but she is well-known within martial arts circles in the Pine Tree State. Baker began training in combat sports at the age of five.

Afbreek van die UFC 207 Main kaart: Voorskou en voorspellings

 

Deur: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 dui die langverwagte terugkeer van “rumoerige” Ronda Rousey (12-1) 'n Octagon sy een keer oorheers as die vroue se kapokgewig-kampioen. Die titel kom uit Rousey op dramatiese wyse deur Holly Holm is nou om die staat middellyf van Amanda Nunes (13-4). Rousey sal 'n kans om dit te rip off het en sit dit terug om haar eie heupe op 30 Desember.

Rousey is uit die hok vir meer as 'n jaar, en sy reeds onlangs bevestig dat haar loopbaan in gemengde martial arts kom tot 'n einde. Nunes is jonk, honger en intimiderend as die buiteperd (+150) soek om vas te hou aan haar gordel teen die legendariese Judoka en MMA aanval. Rousey kom in as die gunsteling by -185.

Vir meer kans en verbintenis inligting besoek 12WEDDENSKAP.

Daar is meer vrae as antwoorde gaan in hierdie baie suksesvolle gebeurtenis. Sal Rousey skud die ring roes en terug te keer na glorie? Is sy reeds 'n stap in die rigting van aftrede? Kan Nunes stil haar twyfelaars en voortgaan om die nalatenskap van die eerste ooit UFC vroue se kapokgewig-kampioen verneder? Wat ook al gebeur, die eerste ronde sal deurslaggewend wees. Beide vroue sal kyk na dit 'n vinnige nag maak.

Voorspelling: Rousey kom terug met 'n wraak en uitstallings baie verbeter treffende en skop verdediging. Nunes sukkel hard en verteenwoordig die beste Brasilië te bied, maar Ronda het te veel om te verloor. Sy kan nie 'n perfekte rekord te meer beskerm, maar sy het nie 'n perfekte rede om hierdie stryd te wen. Sy moet ook haar alfa status vas te stel om haar eie kritici stil te bly en te bewys sy is terug na haar titel te herwin. Rousey wen deur uitklophou vroeg in die tweede ronde.

Nog 'n UFC kapokgewigtitel is op die lyn in die mede-hoofren. Dominic Cruz (22-1) gee Cody Garbrandt (10-0) 'n kraak in die gordel in wat 'n ware slugfest kan wees. Hoewel Cody nooit 'n geveg verloor en uitgeslaan nege van sy tien loopbaan teenstanders by die professionele vlak, Dominic Cruz (-225) is aan die rol saam op 'n 13-stryd wen streep wat terugdateer tot Maart van 2008. Garbrandt (+175) beteken verteenwoordig 'n spreekwoordelike “kans ponser se” hier, al. Hy het sy laaste drie gevegte gewen deur TKO of uitklophou. Almal van hulle geëindig dankie se aan Cody se beligting vinnig pons krag.

Voorspelling: Ag geneem word dat Cruz is 'n taktiese, verdedigende vegter, Hy sal floreer as die stryd kry in die dieper rondes. Garbrandt kan nie wen sonder 'n eerste ronde knockout as die ervaring en rou talent Cruz bring om die hok is uniek en dinamiese. Hy maak aanpassings soos geen ander vegter en gebruik die liggaam en kop beweging wat lyk elke teenstander hy die gesig gestaar in die afgelope jaar te beskaam. Cody sal hoef te vang “Die Dominator” om met hom, en hy sal net een rondte om dit te doen het. Cruz wen teen die einde van rondte TKO of eenparige besluit.

A swaargewig botsing tussen Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) en Kain Velasquez (14-2) is ook te sien by UFC 207. Die stryd is 'n rematch van 'n UFC 188 oorlog tussen die twee Goliats, wat geëindig het met Werdum wen die kampioenskap bout deur derde ronde voorlegging (guillotine verstik).

Hierdie keer, Velasquez is die gunsteling vegter (-210) terwyl Werdum is 'n +170 buiteperd. Dit is nog 'schreeuwer vs. taktikus wedstryd-up, en dit kan enige kant toe gaan. Werdum het 'n swak ken teen Stipe Miocic, en Kain sal die uitkyk wees vir elke geleentheid om dit te gaan.

Voorspelling: Velasquez verzendingen Werdum binnekant van twee rondes. Kain se treffende is beter as Werdum, en hy sal die fout laat Werdum neem die stryd op die grond hierdie tyd nie. Velasquez deur KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) en Johny Hendricks (17-5) kom in die hok vir UFC 207 as twee van die beste welterweights in die liga. Beide ervaar sommige wel en wee in sport die afgelope tyd, al. Magny het 'n drie stryd wen streep gestop deur Lorenz Larkin in sy laaste rondte terwyl Hendricks drie verloor uit sy laaste vier gevegte. Hendricks is 'n ver van sy voormalige self en 'n lang pad van sy kampioenskap dae. Stephen Thompson vee die mat met Hendricks en op pad na 'n wrede TKO voor Kelvin Gastelum in die hok trap oorkant die voormalige kampioen en het die huis 'n eenparige besluit geneem nadat drie hard geveg rondes.

Voorspelling: Magny is die meer duursame en dinamiese vegter, en Hendricks kan nie naby genoeg kry om sy beste krag skote land. Magny sal ophou Hendricks’ vooruitgang, ontken sy take down pogings en dien of stop die voormalige kampioen voor die finale klok. Magny deur derde ronde TKO.

Voorste af die hoof kaart is 'n ander stryd met 'n voormalige kampioen,. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) gevegte vakman John “Hande van Stone” Lineker (29-7) in 'n kapokgewig stryd gebind aan 'n toekoms klassieke wees. Lineker bring 'n intensiteit, krag en akkuraatheid wat is eenvoudig verstommend om te getuig. Dillashaw beweeg rondom die hok soos 'n Ierse stepdancer, dodging aanvalle soos 'n Mexikaanse stierenvechter. Lineker het in sy laaste bout met John Dodson dat hy 'n slim kan wees, tegniese vegter asook.

Voorspelling: wat T.J. gebrek is Lineker se krag: POWER. Lineker sal leer om sy reeks vind in die tweede ronde en begin om onortodokse verdediging Dillashaw se dring. Halfpad deur die derde ronde hy sal vang T.J. back-up en die einde van die stryd op die voete met 'n wrede reeks stoot, skop, knieë en elmboë teen die hok. Lineker deur derde ronde TKO.

TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Desember. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, En Rut, (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place Vrydag by "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," op Desember. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

Slegs 26 jaar oud, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) sowel as Aaron Pico en Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Kalifornië., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck en Chris HONEYCUTT, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on November. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 in die eerste ronde.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, insluitend John Salter (12-3), Yamauchi up (31-9) en Philipe Lins(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Denise Kielholtz (45-3) en Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Skopboks: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Gabriël Vega (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Joe Schilling (19-9) teen Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) met Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), en Kevin Ross(31-9) sal voldoen Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) in 'n liggewig stryd. "Bellator Skopboks: Florence” airs Vrydag, Desember. 16 by 11:15 pm ET, onmiddellik na "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

HEAVYWEIGHTS BEREID VOOR OORLOG NIE 27

 

Lewiston, Maine (Desember 7, 2016) -Nuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) keer terug na die Androscoggin Bank Colisee op Februarie 11, 2017 met sy volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vegkuns, “NEF 27: Herlewing.” Vroeër vandag, die strydpromosie het die toevoeging van 'n professionele wedstryd aan die kaart aangekondig. Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (0-0) sal sy professionele debuut maak teen Mike “Die snor” Hansen (5-4) in die swaargewig-afdeling.

 

Hylton se nou legendariese opkoms deur die geledere van die amateur-swaargewigafdeling in NEF is een van die belangrikste verhale van 2016. Op 6’6″ en toring bo-oor die MMA-hok, Hylton sny 'n indrukwekkende figuur. Die enigste indrukwekkender ding as Hylton se grootte en voorkoms is miskien sy atletiese vermoëns. 'N Pragtige staker, Hylton het al drie sy teenstanders hierdie jaar met 'n uitklophou of tegniese uitklophou voltooi.

 

“Rasquatch,” of soos sommige aanhangers hom noem “Die Jamaikaanse Shamrock,” het regtig wenkbroue begin lig met 'n uitklophou van Matt Glover (1-1) verlede lente. Dan, verlede maand by “NEF 26,” Hylton het 'n buitengewone taai Kevin Smith geklop (3-3) tot 'n bloedige pulp. Dit was onmiddellik na daardie dominante vertoning dat Hylton se afrigters by First Class MMA en Dragon Fire Martial Arts gevoel het dat die tyd reg is vir hom om na die pro-ranglys te spring.

 

“Ek is so dankbaar dat ek 'n man met die grootte van Mike Hansen voor my familie en vriende beveg,” het Hylton gesê. “As die eerste professionele vegter wat uit Dragon Fire Martial Arts en First Class MMA gekom het, en met die opdrag van Shihan Andy Campbell, John “First Class” Raio en my span, ons berei voor dat ek oorlog toe gaan, want dit is wat Mike altyd na die hok bring.”

 

'N Voormalige Maine-stoei in swaargewig-stoeikampioen uit die Mountain Valley High School, Mike Hansen het nog nooit weggehou van die stryd met iemand groter as hy nie. In werklikheid, Hansen, wat ook meeding in die liggewig- en middelgewigafdelings, het 'n reputasie verwerf as ietwat van 'n “reusemoordenaar.”

 

Vroeër vanjaar, Hansen het 'n aansienlik groter Jesse Baughman ingedien (0-2) in die eerste ronde om “NEF 22.” Hy het daardie indrukwekkende vertoning opgevolg deur 'n veel groter Brendan Battles amper te laat klop (1-1) met 'n regterhand by “NEF 23.” Hierdie val het Hansen byna 'n halwe voet aan Matt Andrikut prysgegee (2-1) en het sy groter teenstander in die eerste ronde voorgelê. Inderdaad, Hylton se groottevoordeel sal weinig rol speel in die uitslag van hierdie geveg as Hansen iets daaroor te sê het.

 

“Ek is super opgewonde vir hierdie stryd,” roep Hansen uit. “Ek hou daarvan om deel te wees van hierdie 'supergevegte'.’ Ek weet Ras het 'n wonderlike kamp agter hom en hy sal kom 100% bereid. Ek sal niks minder van Raio verwag nie, maar ek voel dat my ervaring en kalmte in die hok my beste bate is en dit is nie iets waarop hy kan oplei nie in 10 weke. 11 Februarie ons sal oorlog toe gaan, verwag dus net dit.”

 

NEF se volgende geleentheid, “NEF 27: herlewing” vind plaas op Saterdag, Februarie 11, 2017 by 7 namiddag. Kaartjies begin by $25 en is nou te koop by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009, uitbreiding 525.
