Doskalchuk (8-1-0, M-1: 2-0-0), uitvechten van Oekraïne, won afgelopen september zijn titelriem bij M-1 Challenge 83, toen hij een Guillotine Choke gebruikte om zich te onderwerpen Vadim Malygin in de tweede ronde.

 

 

 

Ongeslagen in M-1-competitie, Doskalchuk won afgelopen mei een meerderheidsbesluit tijdens zijn M-1-debuut, over Binh Son Le bij M-1 Challenge 78.

 

 

 

“Het kan me niet schelen of mijn tegenstander een riem heeft of niet,” Zei Doskalchuk. “Het belangrijkste is om je goed voor te bereiden op het gevecht om de echte vlieggewichtkampioen te bepalen. Ik verwacht niet dat dit gevecht gemakkelijk zal zijn. Het wordt een zware strijd en ik ga op zoek naar een mogelijkheid om mijn tegenstander af te maken. Fans zullen een geweldig gevecht zien. Hoe zal het aflopen? We zullen zien in The Rage!”

 

 

 

Ashimov (8-2-1, M-1: 3-0-0) verdiende zijn Interim-titel afgelopen februari door te stoppen Gadzhimurad Aliev en Ervani Melonio met stoten, respectievelijk, in de tweede en eerste ronde. Bij M-1 Challenge 87, de krachtig opvallende Kazachstak uit Mikael Silander in twee rondes om het M-1 Challenge Interim Flyweight Championship te veroveren.

 

 

 

“Heel Kazachstan wacht op deze strijd,” Merkte Ashimov op. “Ik kan niet wachten, want ik heb de Interim belt naar Kazachstan gebracht en, als God het wil, binnenkort zal ik de onbetwiste titel terugbrengen. Ik vecht tegen een sterke en ervaren tegenstander, die ik veel respecteer, maar ik zal er klaar voor zijn en dat zal vechtnacht laten zien. ”

 

 

De co-feature is een middengewicht confrontatie tussen een ervaren Russische jager Mikhail Zayats (23-8-0, M-1: 13-5-0) en verleden M-1 Challenge middengewicht titel uitdager Caio “Hellboy” Magalhaes (10-4-0, M-1: 1-1-0), van Brazilië. Zayats heeft gevochten in Bellator, Magalhaes in de UFC. Afgelopen oktober, Magalhaes verloor zijn M-1 Challenge middengewicht titeluitdaging van kampioen Artem Frolov door middel van een unaniem besluit van vijf ronden, hemelbekleding M-1 Challenge 84.

 

 

 

Een ander hoofdkaartgevecht werd aangekondigd met een van China's beste MMA-jagers, onze “Iron Koning” Nuertiebieke (12-2-0, M-1: 0-1-0) versus Amerikaans vedergewicht Daniel Swain (17-8-1, M-1: 0-0-1).

LACEY LOOKS TO SHOWCASE SKILLS AT NEF 34 IN PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (April 18, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) keert terug naar Aura in Portland, Maine met zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” op zaterdag nacht, Juni 16, 2018. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion officially announced a professional featherweight bout for the card. Aaron “Meedogenloos” Lacey (5-1) is gepland te staan Da’MonThe DiamondBlackshear (4-1).

After suffering the first loss of his professional career in late 2017 – a doctor stoppage due to a cut on his head during a bout in New HampshireLacey bounced back this past February with a big victory at “NEF 32” in Lewiston, Maine. He came out aggressive in the first round against veteran Josh Parker (6-10), forcing Parker to tap late in the first-round to a rear-naked choke. And while it certainly was an impressive win for the 2016 NEF Fighter of the Year and product of Young’s MMA, Lacey felt that he had more to showcase for his fans. He will get the opportunity again on Juni 16 against Blackshear.

“It’s time once again to do what I love in front of the fans that I love,” said Lacey. “My last fight was really quick, and I didn’t get to showcase what I have been working on. Although I’m always going for the finish, I will be looking to put on an entertaining show that fans will not soon forget!"

Based out of Fayetteville, Noord Carolina, Da’Mon Blackshear began his MMA career in the fall of 2014. He put together a stellar amateur record of 7-1, capturing two championships in the southeastern region of the country. Upon turning professional, Blackshear, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, has taken three of his four pro victories by way of submission. He has earned gold in numerous submission-only grappling events, regularly defeating black belts and larger opponents. Blackshear serves as a coach of Team R.O.C. in Fayetteville.

"Ik ben klaar,” exclaimed Blackshear when reached for comment. “16 juni it’s going down, so Aaron Lacey come prepared!”

NEF's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” vindt plaats in Aura in Portland, Maine op zaterdag, Juni 16, 2018. Tickets zijn nu online te koop op www.AuraMaine.com.

THE ADMINISTRATOR

MYSTIC LAKE CENTER

 

 

 

PRIOR LAKE, MINNESOTA

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy strijdgemeenschap (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to Minnesota on the first day of June with a lightweight showdown between the final RFA lightweight champion and a surging upset artist.

 

 

 

The main event of LFA 41 will feature the return of the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés when he faces the division’s biggest upset machine JeffThe Administrator” Peterson. LFA 41 – Moisés vs.. Peterson takes place Friday, June 1st at the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the new Mystic Lake Center in Prior Lake, Minnesota. De gehele belangrijkste kaart zal live worden uitgezonden en de landelijke op AXS TV bij 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

I am excited to bring LFA back to the Minnetonka Ballroom inside the state of the art Mystic Lake Center”, Opgegeven Soares. “We brought four LFA events to Mystic Lake last year. LFA 41 will be the second of four live nationally televised MMA events to take place inside Mystic Lake’s new world-class facility in 2018. Mystic Lake has been a great partner and will now host the return of Thiago Moisés when he faces Jeff Peterson on June 1st.

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 41 – Moisés vs.. Peterson are available for purchase NOW at MysticLake.com.

 

 

 

Moisés (9-2) recently turned 23-years-old, but has long been considered one of the most exciting lightweight prospects in the world. The Brazilian dynamo submitted Javon Wright in his RFA debut at RFA 28. The win earned Moisés a shot at RFA gold in his next outing at RFA 35. Moisés used this opportunity to secure one of the most memorable submission wins in MMA history. He executed an electrifying and ultra-rare Helicopter Armbar to submit David Castillo. The submission made him the second youngest champion in RFA history, went viral on the internet, and earned him a nominee for “Indiening van het Jaar” at the annual World MMA Awards.

 

 

 

Moisés then defended his RFA lightweight title twice. The first title defense came against Jamall Emmers at RFA 38. The win came with UFC President Dana White sitting cageside and was featured on the seventh episode of Dana White: Kijk in’ for a Fight. The second title defense came against Zach Freeman in Freeman’s hometown at RFA 44. During that fight, Moisés broke his hand. The American Top Team product still managed to cruise to a Unanimous Decision victory, but he missed nearly a year of action waiting for his surgically repaired hand to heal. Moisés then re-injured his hand vying for the inaugural LFA lightweight title last summer at LFA 17. Now the BJJ black belt is back and ready to remind the world, that when he is at 100%, he is the top lightweight prospect in the world.

 

 

 

Peterson (9-4) is currently riding an impressive six-fight win streak and hasn’t tasted defeat in over three years. Echter, the Alliance MMA product really started to make a name for himself last year after signing with LFA. Peterson did this by winning all three of his fights for the promotion against heavily favored opposition. The first win came against top undefeated prospect Bobby Lee via Unanimous

Decision at LFA 12. The second win came against local fan favorite Brandon Jenkins via Split Decision at LFA 20. The third and biggest win came against longtime Bellator star and fellow U.S. Marine Mike Richman via Unanimous Decision in the co-main event of LFA 29.

 

 

 

 

Now the 28-year-old known asThe Administratorwill be looking to add the final RFA lightweight champion to his list of upsets. This is the next necessary step he will need to take if the Peterson regime plans on taking over as the new ruling administration atop the LFA lightweight division. He has gotten to this point by defying the odds. Peterson has administered his rugged, no-nonsense style of fighting to upset an undefeated prospect, a local favorite, and a popular vet. Now he will up the ante by facing his biggest test to date. When the opening betting odds are released for this fight, expect Peterson to once again be the underdog. He wouldn’t want it any other way. That is where he thrives. A devil dog, seen as an underdog, in a prime time headlining fight is a scary thing. Oorah.

“From the beginning of Bellator’s international expansion, Italy has always played an integral role in our growth,'Zei Bellator-president Scott Coker. “Following successful events in the gorgeous cities of both Florence and Torino, it only made sense to bring a card to Rome, the home of the Colosseum, a city that has seen warriors do battle since 80 AD.”

 

 

 

 

“Pitbull” reclaimed the 145-pound championship by defeating Daniel Straus via unanimous decision in April of last year, notching his 14thBellator victory and becoming the winningest athlete in promotional history in the process.

Sinds het verlies, Weichel has climbed the ranks once again, besting notable fighters within the division such as Emmanuel Sanchez, Georgi Karakhanyan and John “Macapa” en route to his current number one contender status. Nu, with an opportunity to right the loss, “Woerd” will take the two-hour flight from Germany to Rome, with the hopes of winning championship gold on his mind.
