Pagbungkag sa UFC 207 Main Card: Pagpaniid ug Mga Panagna

 

Pinaagi sa: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 nagtimaan sa dugay na nga gipaabut nga pagbalik sa “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (12-1) sa usa ka Octagon nga siya kaniadto naghari ingon bantamweight champion. Ang titulo nga gikuha gikan sa Rousey sa dramatiko nga dagway ni Holly Holm karon naa sa palibot sa may kaarang nga hawak ni Amanda Nunes (13-4). Adunay higayon si Rousey nga gision kini ug ibalik kini sa iyang kaugalingon nga hips kaniadtong Disyembre 30th.

Kapin sa usa ka tuig nga wala’y sulod si Rousey, ug nakumpirma na siya dili pa dugay nga ang iyang karera sa nagkasagol nga martial arts hapit na matapos. Bata pa si Nunes, gigutom ug nakapahadlok ingon underdog (+150) nagtan-aw sa paghawid sa iyang bakus batok sa maalamat nga Judoka ug MMA juggernaut. Si Rousey moabut ingon ang paborito sa -185.

Alang sa dugang nga mga paglaum ug pagbisita sa kasayuran sa pagbisita 12BET.

Adunay labi pa nga mga pangutana kaysa mga tubag nga moadto sa kini nga panghitabo sa blockbuster. Mapakyas ba si Rousey sa kalabog sa ring ug makabalik sa himaya? Usa na siya ka lakang padulong sa pagretiro? Mahimo ba nga pahilumon ni Nunes ang iyang mga nagduha-duha ug magpadayon sa pagdaot sa panulundon sa una nga bantog nga kampeon sa bantogweight nga UFC? Bisan unsa ang mahitabo, ang una nga hugna mahimong hinungdanon. Parehong mga babaye mangita nga himuon kini nga usa ka dali nga gabii.

Tagna: Si Rousey mobalik uban ang usa ka panimalos ug nagpakita labi nga gipauswag ang paghampak ug paglaban sa sipa. Ang mga bug-at nga away sa Nunes ug nagrepresentar sa labing maayo nga gitanyag sa Brazil, apan daghan ang napilde ni Ronda. Tingali siya wala’y hingpit nga rekord aron maproteksyonan na usab, apan siya adunay usa ka hingpit nga hinungdan aron makadaog kini nga away. Kinahanglan usab niya nga ipatindog ang iyang kahimtang sa alpha aron isira ang iyang kaugalingon nga mga kritiko ug pamatud-an nga pagbalik siya aron makuha ang iyang titulo. Nagdaug si Rousey pinaagi sa knockout sayo sa ikaduha nga hugna.

Laing titulo nga bantog nga UFC naa sa linya sa co-main event. Dominic Cruz (22-1) naghatag Cody Garbrandt (10-0) usa ka liki sa bakus sa kung unsa ang mahimo nga usa ka tinuod nga slugfest. Bisan kung wala’y nawala si Cody og away ug gipukan ang siyam sa iyang napulo nga mga kaatbang sa karera sa propesyonal nga lebel, Dominic Cruz (-225) nagpadayon sa 13-fight win streak nga nagsugod kaniadtong Marso sa 2008. Garbrandt (+175) nagrepresentar sa usa ka sanglitanan “tsansa sa puncher” dinhi, bisan. Nadaog niya ang iyang katapusang tulo ka away pinaagi sa TKO o knockout. Tanan sila natapos nga pasalamatan sa kusog nga pagsunud sa kusog ni Cody.

Tagna: Ang paghunahuna nga si Cruz usa ka taktikal, manlalaban nga manlalaban, siya molambo samtang ang away mosulud ngadto sa mga lawom nga hugna. Dili makadaog si Garbrandt kung wala’y first round knockout tungod kay ang kasinatian ug hilaw nga talento nga gidala ni Cruz sa hawla talagsaon ug dinamikong. Gihimo niya ang mga pagbag-o sama sa wala’y manlalaban ug gigamit ang kalihokan sa lawas ug ulo nga daw nagpalibog sa matag kaatbang nga iyang giatubang sa miaging mga tuig. Kinahanglan modakop si Cody “Ang Dominator” aron makigsulti kaniya, ug adunay usa ra siya nga hugut aron buhaton kini. Nagdaug si Cruz sa ulahing bahin sa TKO o Unanimous Desisyon.

Usa ka bug-at nga panagsangka tali sa Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) ug Cain Velasquez (14-2) gipakita usab sa UFC 207. Ang away usa ka rematch sa usa ka UFC 188 gubat tali sa duha ka mga goliath, nga natapos sa Werdum nga nakadaog sa kampiyonato sa kampanya pinaagi sa pagsumite sa ikatulong hugna (Nakurat ang Guillotine).

Kini nga oras sa palibot, Si Velasquez ang gipili nga manlalaban (-210) samtang si Werdum usa ka +170 mahina. Kini usa pa ka brawler vs. taktika match-up, ug mahimo usab kini nga agianan. Nagpakita si Werdum og huyang nga baba batok sa Stipe Miocic, ug pangitaon ni Cain ang matag higayon nga susihon kini.

Tagna: Gipadala ni Velasquez si Werdum sa sulod sa duha ka hugna. Ang paghagit ni Cain labaw sa Werdum, ug dili siya makahimo og sayup nga gipasagdan si Werdum nga mag-away sa kini nga oras. Velasquez ni KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) ug Johny Hendricks (17-5) moabut sa hawla alang sa UFC 207 isip duha sa labing maayong welterweights sa liga. Parehas nga nakasinati og daghang mga pagbag-o sa sport kaniadtong karon, bisan. Si Magny adunay tulo nga away win streak nga gihunong ni Lorenz Larkin sa iyang katapusang away samtang si Hendricks nawala tulo gikan sa iyang katapusang upat ka fights.. Si Hendricks usa ka layo nga pagsinggit gikan sa iyang kaugalingon nga kaugalingon ug usa ka hataas nga paagi gikan sa iyang adlaw sa kampeonato. Gipahid ni Stephen Thompson ang banig sa Hendricks nga nagpadulong sa usa ka brutal nga TKO sa wala pa mosulod si Kelvin Gastelum sa hawla gikan sa kanhi tigdaug ug gidala sa balay ang usa ka unanimous decision human sa tulo ka lisud nga away sa away.

Tagna: Si Magny ang labi ka malig-on ug dinamikong manlalaban, ug si Hendricks dili makakuha sa kadaghan aron maabut ang iyang labing maayo nga power shots. Gipugngan ni Magny si Hendricks’ kauswagan, gipanghimakak ang iyang gisakup nga takedown ug gisumite o hunongon ang kanhing champ sa wala pa ang katapusang kampana. Magny pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

Ang pag-una sa main card usa pa ka away nga naglambigit sa usa ka kanhi kampeon. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) pakigbisog sa taga panaw John “Kamot nga Bato” Lineker (29-7) sa usa ka bantamweight fight nga mahimong umaabot nga klasiko. Naghatag usa ka kusog si Lineker, gahum ug katukma nga yano makapahingangha sa pagsaksi. Si Dillashaw naglihok sa palibot sa hawla sama sa usa ka tikang sa Ireland, dodging mga pag-atake sama sa usa ka Mexican bullfighter. Gipakita ni Lineker sa iyang katapusang pakig-uban kang John Dodson nga mahimo siya usa ka malimbungon, sa teknikal nga manlalaban usab.

Tagna: Unsa ang T.J. kulang ang kusog ni Lineker: KAHAYAG. Mahibal-an ni Lineker nga makit-an ang iyang sakup sa ikaduhang hugna ug magsugod sa pagsulod sa wala’y katarungan nga depensa ni Dillashaw. Pag-agi sa ikatulong hugna iyang madakpan ang T.J. gipaluyohan ug tapuson ang away sa mga tiil nga adunay usa ka brutal nga serye sa mga pagsuntok, kicks, mga tuhod ug siko batok sa hawla. Lineker pinaagi sa third-round TKO.

GEORGI KARAKHANYAN LOOKS TO KEEP MOMENTUM ROLLING AT ‘BELLATOR 170: ORTIZ VS. SONNEN’ ON JAN. 21, WHEN HE MEETS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ AT THE FORUM IN LOS ANGELES

 

Santa Monica, Calif. — (Disyembre 8, 2016) – A featherweight showdown pitting Georgi Karakhanyan (26-6-1) batok sa Emmanuel Sanchez (13-3) has been added to the main card of "Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” sa Enero 21, 2017 inside The Forum in Los Angeles, Calif.

 

Tickets for this monumental event start at $36 ug sa ibabaw sa pagbaligya karon sa Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com. Dugang nga mga bouts nga gipahibalo sa mga umaabot nga mga semana.

 

Karakhanyan delivered one of the most spectacular performances of his 10-year career at "Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull," sa diha nga siya nanuktok sa Bubba Jenkins lang 53 seconds into the contest. Karakhanyan then followed that victory up with another early stoppage, ending Kirill Medvedovsky’s evening via TKO just 3:40 into the first frame at "Bellator 164: Koreshkov vs. Apog 2.” With 20 sa iyang 26 career wins coming by way of stoppage, “Insane” looks to add to that total and finish “El Matador,” something nobody has been able to accomplish.

 

Watch Georgi Karakhanyan stop Bubba Jenkins at “Bellator 160”

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

 

Santa Monica, Calif (Dec. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Ug si Ruth (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 karong Biyernes sa "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," sa Dec. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

Sa lamang 26 ka tuig ang panuigon, 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) ingon man usab sa Aaron Pico ug 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, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck ug Chris Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Nov. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 ngadto sa unang round.

 

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, lakip Juan Salter (12-3), Yamauchi sa (31-9) ug 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) ug Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Kickboxing: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Joe Schilling (19-9) batok sa Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) uban sa Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), ug Kevin Ross(31-9) makigtagbo Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) diha sa usa ka lightweight away. "Bellator Kickboxing: Florence” airs Biyernes, Dec. 16 sa 11:15 pm ET, immediately following "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

HEAVYWEIGHTS PREPARE FOR WAR AT NEF 27

 

Lewiston, Maine (Disyembre 7, 2016) -bag-Ong England away (Kaha) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Pebrero 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional contest to the card. RasRasquatch” Hylton (0-0) mohimo sa iyang propesyonal nga debut batok sa Mike “Ang mustache” Hansen (5-4) sa heavyweight division.

 

Hylton’s now-legendary rise through the ranks of the amateur heavyweight division in NEF is one of the major stories of 2016. At 6’6and towering over the top of the MMA cage, Hylton cuts an imposing figure. The only thing more impressive than Hylton’s size and appearance might be his athletic abilities. A prolific striker, Hylton finished all three of his opponents this year by either knockout or technical knockout.

 

Rasquatch,” or as some fans call himThe Jamaican Shamrock,” really began to raise eyebrows with a highlight-reel head kick knockout of Matt Glover (1-1) last spring. Unya, sa miaging bulan sa “NEF 26,Hylton pounded an extremely tough Kevin Smith (3-3) to a bloody pulp. It was immediately after that dominant performance that Hylton’s coaches at First Class MMA and Dragon Fire Martial Arts felt the time was right for him to make the jump to the pro ranks.

 

I am so grateful to be fighting a man of Mike Hansen’s stature in front of my family and friends,” said Hylton. “As the first professional fighter to come out of both Dragon Fire Martial Arts and First Class MMA, and with the instruction of Shihan Andy Campbell, Juan “First Class” Raio and my team, we are preparing for me to go to war because that is what Mike always brings to the cage.

 

A former Maine state heavyweight wrestling champion out of Mountain Valley High School, Mike Hansen has never shied away from taking a fight with someone bigger than him. Sa pagkatinuod, Hansen, who also competes in the light-heavyweight and middleweight divisions, has gained a reputation as somewhat of agiant killer.

 

Sa sayo pa niini nga tuig, Hansen submitted a substantially bigger Jesse Baughman (0-2) in the first round atNEF 22.He followed up that impressive performance by nearly knocking out a much larger Brendan Battles (1-1) with a right hand atNEF 23.This fall Hansen gave up nearly half a foot to Matt Andrikut (2-1) and submitted his bigger opponent in the first round. Sa pagkatinuod, Hylton’s size advantage will play little role in the outcome of this fight should Hansen have anything to say about it.

 

“Ako super excited sa niini nga away,” exclaimed Hansen. “I like being part of these ‘super fights.I know Ras has a great camp behind him and he will come 100% prepared. I’ll expect nothing less from Raio, but I feel my experience and composure in the cage will be my best asset and that’s not something that he can train up on sa 10 weeks. February 11th we will go to war, so expect just that.

 

NEF’s next event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE” mahitabo sa Sabado, Pebrero 11, 2017 sa 7 sa gabii. Tiket magsugod sa $25 ug sa sale karon sa www.TheColisee.com o pinaagi sa pagtawag sa Colisee box office sa 207.783.2009, extension 525.
