Täielik Bellator 191: McDonald vs. Ligier Fight Card Results:

Michael McDonald (18-4) võidetud Peter Ligier (8-2-1) via ühehäälse otsusega (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

McDonald Quote: “I was happy with the performance. He ate some heavy punches. I hit him hard enough to break my right hand again, so he’s very durable and I expected that from him. I’ve seen him get put down and keep coming. He was very impressive, I’m honored to have fought him and he really stepped up to the occasion. I think that I have some pretty high accolades for a bantamweight, but I really have no idea how that stacks up to the other guys in my division. We will let this hand heal up and find out soon.”

 

Valerie Letourneau (9-6) võidetud Kate Jackson (9-3-1) via ühehäälse otsusega (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Letourneau Quote: “I never feel like I’m doing enough. That’s the first thing I ask my coach: ‘Was it a good fight?’ I think experience has taught me to be patient in the fight and to fight smart. You always want to put on a show, but sometimes it can cost you the fight. Oma viimases võitluses, I didn’t do enough because I was too careful. I wanted to bring all that experience together and make the best of it.”

 

“This was a very important fight for me. Ma olen 34, my daughter’s a teenager now. I’ve sacrificed a lot of things for my career. But I want this Bellator belt so bad. It was really hard for me to watch Ilima Macfarlane and Emily Ducote fight for it first. I have so much respect for both of them, but I wanted to be the first one to fight for the title. Kahjuks, that didn’t happen but to me that’s the only thing I have on my mind right now. Ilima knows I want to fight her and she had a really good performance in her last fight. When it happens, I think it’s going to be a really good matchup. It’s going to be an exciting fight.”

Mohammad Yahya (4-1) võidetud Ash Griffiths (4-5) TKO kaudu aadressil 3:26 ringi üks

Yahya Quote: “This is what we trained for and we executed exactly as we planned. I was very confident in the opening round. I said that I was going to win in the first round by TKO and I did just that. It’s confidence, but this is also a product of hard work. I was training very hard for this and I executed. I knew that I had the best team in the world and we’re on to the next one now.”

 

Philip De Fries (14-6, 1 NC) def. James Thompson (20-17, 1 NC) kaudu esitamise (giljotiin) juures 1:33 ringi üks

 

Fotod: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/efcurjmp6k10j2q/AADd556tK8j6Lg-T7Te54Z_ma?dl = 0

 

De Fries Quote: "Ma tunnen suurt, the less damage the better. I’m not getting any prettier. Hats off to James, he’s a legend. It’s a shame it was over so quick, it could have been a barn burner. But I’m happy. I want to climb the ladder here in Bellator. If there is an opening in this tournament, I’ll gladly step in. I feel great at the moment. Fighting is 90 percent mental and the first half of my career, I didn’t have the head for it. But now I’m putting everything together, I feel great and I’m performing. Ma olen valmis, Ma võidelda kellelegi.

 

Jeremy Petley (12-8) def. Lewis Monarch (9-3) via split otsuse (29-28 x2, 27-30)

 

Fotod: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q1gw2zn80ujf2ps/AABweE-l4KMFb00-hvR7CExDa?dl = 0

 

Petley Quote: “I was prepared to do the job and really demonstrate my skills. He put up a tough fight and made me work for it. I was prepared for a war, and that’s what he gave me so I had to dig deep. Lewis was a good opponent but I knew no matter what the situation or adversity, that I have a big heart, I have work ethic, a good skillset and a good corner behind me. I knew that no matter what happened, I would come out with the victory.”

 

“This is a fraction of my potential. Ma tahan suur võitleb, I want the Bellator title. I want to move up, I want to move forward and fight late in the night. I have what it takes, so I’ll take anybody. This was not the most convincing win, but no matter who I face, I can win. I don’t care who it is up against me, I can always find a way. I find a way to win. That’s what I do.”

FNU Combat Sports Show: Loobujad ei võida kunagi

Jäta kommentaar

See FNU Combat Sports Show ülekanne algab nädala ühe vastuolulisema looga. Paljud sporditeadlased naeruvääristavad Guillermo Rigondeaux'd, kes kummardas eelmisel laupäeval peetud poksimatšis Vasyl Lomachenkoga.. ESPN-i Stephen A. Smith ei raisanud saate ajal aega, rebimine Kuuba poksijale, kes keeldus ühepoolse võitluse seitsmendas raundis välja tulemast. Teddy Atlas, ta pagendati oma ringraportimise kohustustest tänu oma otsekohestele seisukohtadele poksikorruptsiooni kohta ja vähemkogenud kommentaatorite abrasiivsele kohtlemisele, asus Rigo kaitsele. Atlas vaidles Smithiga tema enda kodustuudiost, põhimõtteliselt selgitades, et kõik on inimesed. Tom, Tony ja Rich pakuvad olukorra kohta oma arvamust ja oma mõtteid “võitlema.”

Jälgime ka võitlusspordi viimaseid uudiseid, tehke kokkuvõte möödunud nädala sündmustest ja vaadake sel laupäeval konkureerivaid UFC ja Bellatori sündmusi. Me puudutame isegi mitmeid lugusid, mis hõlmavad Floyd Mayweather Jr. mis sel nädalal spordimeedias tiiru teevad. “Raha” väidab, et võib teenida kuni miljard dollarit, kui ta läheb UFC-sse kolme või nelja võitluse kokkuleppeks. Hästi, Õnne, Floyd. Ma kuulsin, et CM Punk tahab uut võitlust.

In koostöö peaesineja, red-hot Ryan “Supermees” Spann will lock horns with UFC vet Alex “The Spartan” Nicholson for the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight title. LFA 32 – Allen vs. Hernandez takes place Reede, 26. jaanuar at the Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino in Lake Charles, Louisiana.

The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.”
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
Põhiturniiri LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over.

Paberil, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Aga, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent.

LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). Mees tuntakse “Fluffy” has finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
Koostööd põhiturniiri LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Supermees” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartan” has knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 sekundit.
Septembris 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) alates jaanuarist 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 sportlased, kes on jõudnud tippu MMA võisteldes UFC.

Treeninglaager oli suurepärane, I was able to actually prepare for my opponent and it worked out well. I’ve had a great experience out here in Italy, it has been a journey and I treated it like an adventure. It was my first time fighting out of the country so everything was an adjustment and I came out nine days in advance to get acclimated. I want another tough opponent. Luka [Jelcic] was a tough guy, he was no slouch whatsoever. I want another top guy, that’s why I’m here – to fight the top guys and that’s what I’ve been doing since I got here to Bellator.”

Tsiteeri: “I was very excited for my Bellator debut and to be the first Colombian female in the promotion. I’ve been training incredibly hard, I felt that I was very well prepared for this fight. I just wanted to show the world how tough I am and I think I did that täna õhtul. I spent half of my camp in Guadalajara with Alexa Grasso and Team Grasso there, and then I also went up to work with Roufusport Academy in Milwaukee to prepare for the fight. Both camps were amazing for me, and I learned a great deal, I just want to keep learning and competing. I am prepared for whatever is next. I look forward to big challenges in Bellator.”

 

Carlos Miranda (11-3) võidetud Mihail Nica (6-1) via ühehäälse otsusega (30-26, 30-27, 30-27)

Tsiteeri: “Speed is definitely my advantage every time I get in the ring, and it was no different täna õhtul. Kõigepealt, I’d like to give all the glory to God, because through him, all things are possible. I’d like to thank my opponent for taking this fight. It’s an honor to come here and fight in front of the Italian people. This is an incredible country with beautiful people, beautiful food, beautiful wine, great history. This is a fighting country. I think I might have some Italian in my DNA because every time I come here my blood boils and I feel like I’m ready to spar, Ma olen valmis võitlema. To anyone who wants it: come on, take a number and stand in line. You have seen my highlight reel, if you want to be part of it – Ma luban, I can make you famous.”

 

Joe Schilling (23-9) võidetud Filip Verlinden (44-19-1) via ühehäälse otsusega (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Tsiteeri: “I’ve got to watch the replay again. I thought Filip did a really good job and I was really excited to be fighting somebody of his caliber. Going into the fight, I thought he was the toughest guy Bellator has given me. When we were both with my last promotion, we were both top three the entire time I was there. I knew he was going to be a tough opponent, that’s why there was no trash talk from either one of us, I think we were both ready for a great fight and we delivered. I honestly was pretty frustrated with my performance and after the fight I told Jimmy (Sepp) that I thought he had won. Now I’m back here in the locker room and everyone is telling me that I’m crazy for that take. I’d love to fight him again and finish him off. Maybe for a world championship. That’d be nice. But for now, I’m excited to go enjoy my vacation.”

 

John Wayne Parr (98-32) võidetud Piergiulio Paolucci (24-6-1) TKO kaudu aadressil 2:32 ringi kolm

Tsiteeri: “I’m very excited coming off of this performance. I thought my opponent was a bit awkward. I wanted to give him respect because I knew he had heavy hands. But once I felt that I could win, I started walking forward more and I threw a couple spinning back kicks just for fun, just to entertain. I had the one spinning heel kick that landed and thought that was pretty cool. I was pretty excited about that. I was just happy to get the stoppage really, because nobody wants to win by points. I’m inching closer to 100 victories and I’d love to hit that milestone here in such a major promotion like Bellator. Especially at my age of 41, being able to fight on the big stage is so surreal. I can’t believe that I’m still here competing in this sport that I love, and more than just competing, I’m being successful. I’ve got to thank Scott Coker, everyone at Bellator and Spike, and everyone that follows the sport for giving me the opportunity to do what I do. I’m really scared to be 41 and know that one day I’m going to have to retire, aga nüüd, I’m having too much fun to stop.”

 

Hamza Imane (50-12-2) võidetud Kevin Ross (45-13) via split otsuse (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Jäta kommentaar

After a couple weeks off, we come back this week to talk about the combat sports world. Tom, Tony and Rich catch up and discuss the events of the past couple weeks and preview upcoming boxing and MMA action. Tom, Tony and Rich pay special attention to last weekend’s awesome UFC card with two of the best fights of the year in MMA to chat about. Eddie Alvarez’s masterful performance against Justin Gaethje was exciting enough, but add in the performance of Yancy Medeiros against Charles Oliveira and that put this card into a category all its own. We also discuss the latest boxing news and Miguel Cotto’s retirement fight. Listen to the broadcast in the player below.
