LAS VEGAS (Giugno 7, 2021) – Pure and simple, Amanda “The Real Deal” Serrano is a true fighter, whether it’s in a cage, ring or on a mat. Someday, she could very well be legitimately known as the “Queen of Combat Sports.”

The 10-time, 7 division world boxing champion headlines this Friday night’s icona 7, presented by iKON Fighting Federation, the mixed-martial-arts division of Roy Jones Jr. Boxe, at Benito Juarez Auditorium in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Messico.

She will face pro-debuting Valentia Garcia, del Messico, nel icona 7 evento principale.

“It’s an honor to headline iKON 7,” Serrano said. “It is a fast-rising MMA organization that I plan to plant my flag on. My co-manager, Pearl Gonzalez, turned me on to it and so far, I’m loving my dealings with them.

“My first two opponents in MMA were also Mexicans and they were tough. I don’t want it any other way if I’m going to have people take me seriously in this sport. From what I understand, my opponent has striking experience but in MMA, you should never expect a particular style. Most are well rounded and regardless of their primary style, I’m ready for it.”

“I was having a hard time getting good fights in boxing I wanted,” Serrano explained, “so, I asked my trainer/manager Giordania (Maldonado) started talking about MMA. A year before I debuted in MMA, I shot a movie, ‘Fight Valley’, in which both my sister, Cindy(Serrano), and I co-starred alongside Miesha Tate, Chris Cyborg e Di Holly Holm. During the filming we talked about helping each other train in our respective disciplines and yeah, it materialized but in way I became an MMA practitioner.

“Training is totally different. I took a year off from boxing just to learn the basics. Oggi, I train everyday regardless of upcoming fights or not. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. I’m pretty much a workaholic and a sore loser, e allora, if I’m messing with it, I want it all! I’d love to one day fight for World title (in MMA) and become a champion in both sports at the same time. I have what it takes to do it if anyone does. I do want to switch the narrative as a striker and be known in MMA for my ground game.”

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Milford, New Hampshire (Giugno 7, 2021) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021.  The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.

NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Furia,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.

“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”

NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).

“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,"Ha detto il co-proprietario NEF e sensale Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”

Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,"Ha detto Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”

Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire.

“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone!  I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”

“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!"

Tickets for “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/.  The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, Agosto 21, 2021, con una campana in tempo 7 pm.

JAKE PAUL VS. TYRON WOODLEY FACEOFF QUOTES AND PHOTOS

Lascia un commento

Fare clicQUI per le foto da Amanda Westcott / SHOWTIME

MIAMI(Giugno 4, 2021) – Social media superstar and undefeated pro boxerJake “The Problem Child” Paul faced off with his next opponent, five-time UFC championTyron Woodley, at the historic 5th Street Gym in Miami on Thursday ahead of their highly anticipated summer showdown on SHOWTIME PPV.

Here is what Paul and Woodley had to say following their heated stare down in Miami:

JAKE PAUL

“I told him I’ll pay you double your purse if you beat me. But if you lose, you have to pay your purse to my charity. He lacks confidence. Why wouldn’t you take that bet as a fighter if you knew you were going to win? To make double the money? This is the biggest pay day of your life and you can make double? Put your money where your mouth is.

“He’s a good striker. He’s known for knocking people out. But I think when I beat Tyron, people have to put respect on my name. But that’s not what I’m here for to be honest. I already know how good I am. I know that this is going to be another easy fight. That’s why SHOWTIME is in business with me. Stai guardando il futuro della boxe.

“He’s not as good as me and he’s playing catch-up. We see holes in his whole entire game and he has try to learn how to box. He’s stiff. Muscles don’t fight and he’s going to be out of his element. Questa è la boxe. This isn’t MMA. You can’t learn how to box in this amount of time. Now we’re going to show him the reins. The Disney kid is going to beat up the five-time UFC champion of the world. It’s going to be hilarious.

“I haven’t even shown my fighting abilities at all. I haven’t even made it past two rounds in my professional career. I haven’t been hit in the face. Nobody can even see if I have a chin or my inside fighting game. I haven’t even warmed up yet. And by the way, I’m the type of fighter that gets better the longer the fight goes on. I get better in sparring so I haven’t even been able to warm up and I’m excited to show my ability if he can make it out of the first round.

“I’ve predicted every single one of my fights. I said Ben Askren, primo giro. I said Nate Robinson, primo giro. He got to the second. I said in my first pro fight, primo giro. I don’t think Tyron will make it out of two rounds. You might not even get to see my boxing abilities in this fight to be honest.”

TYRON WOODLEY

“I’ve always wanted to box my whole life but never did it. This is my opportunity. This is a kid that’s a power-puncher. He’s got a lot of strength behind him. This is going to be a big platform to showcase what I can do in a boxing ring. And he’s a fighter. Egli può combattere. Alla fine della giornata, you can watch him and the timing, the rhythm and the footwork is there.

“He hasn’t fought very long. But the little action that I have seen was clean. Good defense. Nate was rushing him, he protected himself and he came out of his shell and cracked him.

“He’s trying to downplay his ability. He’s a fighter. Don’t let him play you by saying, ‘I’m just a YouTuber.’ Last week, he was a fighter. When he was saying nobody wanted to fight him, he was a fighter. You’re not a YouTuber anymore. You’re not on Disney. It’s been a long time since he was on Disney. That’s like me saying I’m just a collegiate wrestler and I don’t punch people.

“I just want to have fun. I want to train hard. I want to get better. I want to go out there and do things on my terms and be the one to call the shots. I want to go out there and make history. I always make history. I may not always get the credit for it but I’m always the first. Fighters always hit me up asking what they should do, what they’re doing wrong. Now it’s time for me to go do it myself.”

The 24-year-old has shown steady growth each time out in the BELLATOR cage and is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.

Fighting for the first time on American soil, the 26-year-old Lee looks to secure his third straight victory inside the BELLATOR cage.

SFT dominating Brazilian National MMA Rankings

Lascia un commento

SAN PAOLO, Brasile (Maggio 25, 2021) – Fighters in SFT’s stable, according to MMA Premium, dominated May’s Brazilian National MMA Rankings.

In the male pound-for-pound ratings, SFT stable fighters captured three of the top four positions: 2, Marcos “Babuino” de Santos (33-13-1, SFT: 3-0-), 3. Wellington “Predador” Prado (11-2-0, SFT: 5-1-0), 4. Thiago “Manchinha” Silva (19-9-0, (SFT: 0-1-0).

“Babuino” and “Predador”, rispettivamente, are also the top 2 ranked featherweights, while Junior andAcacio “Pequeno” dos Santos (13-3-0, SFT: 2-0-0) finished one-two in the light heavyweight division.

SFT women also placed second and third in the women pound-for-pound ratings, rispettivamente, with strawweightsJulia Polastri (8-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) eKarine “Killer” Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0). 

SFT swept the top three positions in female bantamweight rankings, In ordine, with Karine “Killer,” who was SFT’s 2020 Submission of the Year recipient, Gisele “Gi” Moreira (9-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) eSidy Rocha (12-8-2, SFT: 0-1-0).

“SFT was established in 2018 by our film and production company,"Presidente SFTDavid Hudson said. “Two events were produced, but then we were on hold for five years, and back then, I had nothing to do with SFT. When events were resumed in 2018, I wondered why a country that played a major role in the creation of MMA and UFC didn’t have a world-class promotion. After analyzing what was being done and attendingSFT 4 in Brazil, I was sure the problem was how things were being done. I decided to walk away from the film industry and dedicated my life to MMA.

“Under my leadership, SFT has had a whole new way of promoting MMA. Each decision I made, I was told that by many that I was wrong, and it would result in the end of SFT. Numbers don’t lie and thanks to God, I I have the numbers that prove I was correct., Tuttavia, as innovative and even crazy my ideas may have been, I knew that at the end of the day our fights had to be top notch. I had a 3-year plan and my goal was to have top 10 Brazilian fighters in each weight class in SFT, excluding those who had contracts outside of Brazil.”

SFT is tentatively prepared to return July 10th withSFT 27 in Brazil.

“We were on track to reaching our goal, but the pandemic caused us to pause at the year of year too,” Hudson explained. “Due to inactivity, many of our fighters dropped out of the top 5 e 10 in national rankings. We still have a lot of the best of the best in Brazil in our stable and in July we will return with our monthly events. I am sure that in a year, things will be back on track, and we’ll be closer to our goal.

“Part of our strategy was to have events in the United States, but there are still travel restrictions for Brazilians going to the USA. As soon as we are able to bring our fighters to the United States to fight, we will, and then we will be one step closer to attaining my goal.”

Sono un combattente completo e sono pronto per qualsiasi combattente del pianeta perché credo di essere il migliore. Sapevo di aver perso il primo round, ma nel secondo quando lanciava tutti quei gomiti e mi apriva, Vengo da una famiglia povera in Brasile e non era niente che non avessi mai visto prima. Mi sentivo felice di essere in quella gabbia con il sangue addosso.

“Ha finito per abbattermi nel secondo e sono andato a fare una kimura, che è qualcosa che sono molto abituato a fare, ma l'ha invertito ma poi non ha fatto niente e l'ho colpito con un sacco di colpi sul sedere. Un sacco di gomiti e colpi e sono rimasto molto sul fondo e lui non stava facendo nulla. Ecco perché ho vinto il secondo e il terzo turno".

"Penso di meritare una title shot. Ho appena battuto tre dei più grandi nomi del gioco e ho appena battuto un ex campione del mondo. E nessuno ha battuto i primi tre ragazzi di questo calibro mondiale come ho fatto io in tre vittorie consecutive. Sto puntando a quel titolo mondiale e questo è il futuro per me. Quindi facciamo in fretta."

"Mi piacciono i miei combattimenti sanguinosi, che sia io o il mio avversario. mi prenderò una crosta. Ma tanto di cappello a Fabian che mi ha tagliato un po'. Ma felice di aver vinto".

“Era un grande, ragazzo forte. Ho iniziato a sentire che mi strozzava la testa e il braccio. Sfortunatamente, Non ho capitalizzato su di esso. Ma sapevo cosa stavo per fare. Stavo per macinarlo fuori. È un buon attaccante quindi dovevo stare attento ma mi sentivo bene. Wrestling... è il mio cuore. Sono pronto per il prossimo passo".

Hannah Guy dopo la sua prima vittoria nella gabbia di BELLATOR...

"Mi sentivo come se avessi davvero un buon cardio, quindi è stato fantastico perché ero davvero un po' preoccupato per questo. Sono così grato che abbia accettato la lotta e sono così grato che BELLATOR mi abbia dato questa opportunità.

“Pensavo di finire con il triangolo (soffocamento), onestamente. È appena scivolata fuori da lì, quindi è stato fantastico da parte sua. La sua difesa era davvero buona. Sono rimasto davvero colpito da questo. Non sapevo quale fosse il suo gioco a terra, ma era molto meglio di quanto pensassi che sarebbe stato.

"Il grappling è proprio dove voglio essere se hai visto qualcuno dei miei altri combattimenti. Il mio colpo è davvero migliorato molto, quindi spero di cambiarlo. Ma il grappling è sempre stato il mio forte. Non volevo dipendere solo dalle mie prese, ma pensavo di aver messo a segno alcuni colpi abbastanza bene un paio di volte. In questa lotta pensavo di poter vedere quando sarebbero arrivati ​​i pugni. E sono stato in grado di difendere un po' meglio e come sono cresciuto. Quindi sono davvero orgoglioso di me stesso in questo momento".

A person and person Description automatically generated with low confidence
LOS ANGELES - L'evento principale di Bellator 262 il Venerdì, Luglio 16 will feature undefeated 125-pound world champion Juliana Velasquez (11-0) making the first defense of her title against BELLATOR Kickboxing’s Flyweight World Champion and No. 4 classificato Denise Kielholtz (6-2). The card emanates from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. e va in onda in diretta su SHOWTIME a 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

A limited number of tickets starting at $60 go on sale beginning Friday, Giugno 4, with a special presale starting on Thursday, Giugno 3 da 10 a.m. a 10 p.m. E, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

The preliminary portion of BELLATOR MMA 262: Velasquez vs. Kielholtz inizia a 5:30 p.m. E / 2:30 p.m. PT and will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, Canale YouTube di SHOWTIME Sports e Pluto TV. Ulteriori incontri saranno annunciati in una data successiva.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brasile, the 34-year-old Velasquez makes the first defense of her flyweight title since dethroning inaugural champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane a Bellator 254 in December of last year. Sitting in the No. 2 slot on the BELLATOR women’s pound-for-pound rankings, Velasquez is a former Brazilian national champion in judo, a martial arts discipline she began training at age four. The Team Nogueira product has been a dominant force throughout her unblemished 11-fight professional career, including six wins under the BELLATOR banner.

“I’m extremely excited and happy to get back in the BELLATOR cage and defend my title for the first time,disse Velasquez. “I’ve been training really hard, and I’m fully prepared to put on an incredible performance for my fans. Denise has been a great champion in the BELLATOR kickboxing ring, but this MMA belt is mine and it will be going back to Brazil with me after the fight.”

Already the reigning BELLATOR Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, Kielholtz is looking to capture the promotion’s MMA gold as well when she straps on the BELLATOR MMA gloves for the seventh time. The Dutch striking sensation, known to fans as “Miss Dynamite,” is riding a four-fight MMA winning streak, including a first round knockout over former title challenger Kate Jackson a Bellator 247 lo scorso ottobre. Much like her opponent, the 32-year-old Kielholtz holds a black belt in judo with multiple titles as a member of the Dutch National Judo Team.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since I was a child,” said Kielholtz. “My journey in martial arts started when I was nine years old. I have earned multiple championships from kickboxing and judo and I feel like the universe has put everything together. All the hard work, all the sacrifices I have made in my life have all led me to this opportunity. This will be the crowning achievement of my career. This is mine.”
