FRESNO, Халиф. (Юни 17, 2016) — It was a rematch over three years in the making, it was a fight that was scheduled, cancelled and re-scheduled, ив петък при “Bellator 156” inside Save Mart Center, Marcos Galvao (17-7-1) срещу Eduardo Dantas (18-4) was also a barnburner of a main event with the Bellator MMA Bantamweight Championship on the line.

Galvao, 33, walked into the arena with the belt in tow, riding high on his memorable victory at the expense of Joe Warren в 2015. But over the course of 25 минути, Dantas put a halt to any momentum “Loro” имал, peppering his former training partner’s left-eye with punches, until it swelled shut. Galvao tried valiantly to slow the pace of “Dudu” through grappling, but the 27-year-old did enough to earn the nod from the California State Athletic Commission judges and take back the belt that he claimed was his all along.

With the defeat, Galvao’s four-fight winning streak was snapped, while Dantas has now pieced together two consecutive victories. The Nova Uniao product will now set his sights on the winner of Darrion Caldwell срещу Joe Taimanglo при “Bellator 159,” a bout that will determine the new No. 1 contender for Dantas’ freshly won title.

Chidi Njokuani ‘Bang Bangs’ His Way to Knockout Victory

The co-main event of the evening featured contrasting styles, с Чиди Njokuani (15-4) looking to keep the fight at length and utilize his height and reach advantage, докато Thiago Jambo (18-5) worked hard to close the distance and compete on the inside. “Chidi Bang Bang” won out, cracking the gut of Jambo with a kick that folded the Brazilian to the mat. Njokuani pounced, landing left and right punches until referee Mike Beltran waved the fight off at2:39 от последния кръг, giving the Las Vegas native a knockout win. After the scrap, the 28-year-old made his interview concise, telling the welterweight division: “anyone can get it.”

John Salter Taps Brandon Halsey via Triangle Choke

Throughout the lead up to Петък събитие в Фресно, Brandon Холси (9-2) made it clear that fans watching would see a new and improved “Бик,” and while the former Fresno State Bulldog did demonstrate a new array of striking, е John Солтър (12-3) who stole the show. The 31-year-old Wilmington, N.C. resident caught Halsey on the mat with a triangle choke submission, forcing him to tap out after 4:03 в първия кръг. Keeping with the trend of his career thus far, every fight Salter has won has been via submission, furthering his claim for a shot at the promotion’s 185-pound belt.

Honeycutt Impresses Hometown Crowd in Middleweight Debut

In the opening main card contest of “Bellator 156: Galvao vs.. Dantas,” Fresno’s own Chris Хъникът (8-1) welcomed Mikkel Parlo (13-3) back to the Bellator MMA cage with a complete 15-minute performance, building upon the wrestling pedigree he’s known for with a newfound dynamic striking arsenal. Usually Parlo, a Danish fighter who had not competed for the Scott Coker-led promotion since 2014, gets the better of his opponents when the fight stays upright, но в петък, е “The Cutt” who got the better of the punching exchanges. В края, it was the 27-year-old Honeycutt who walked away with a unanimous decision, pushing out his current winning streak to two bouts and improving to 4-1 under the Bellator umbrella.

A former champion of Bellator’s stacked 170-pound division; Lima has continuously proven his worth with highlight reel victories over former Bellator MMA veterans the likes of Rick Hawn, Ben Saunders (два пъти) and Bryan Baker. With past winning streaks of nine, шест, and five, Lima’s most recent string of victories consisted of five consecutive knockouts over the span of three years. “The Phenom” will look to begin another streak of success when he challenges “Semtex” Daley on his home turf on Юли 16.

HOLLYWOOD, FL. (Юни 4, 2016) – Undefeated lightweight world champion Rances“Kid Blast” Barthelemy (25-0, 13 Нокаута) defeated former world champion Mickey “The Spirit” Bey (22-2-1, 10 Нокаута) от съдийско решение (117-110, 116-111, 110-117) в главното събитие на Премиер боксови Champions (PBC) на Шип Петък night at the Hard Rock Live at the Seminole Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Флорида.

Following an exciting first round in which Barthelemy backed Bey up at the bell, round two came to a close with similar fireworks in the form of an accidental head butt. In the commotion, a stunned Barthelemy stumbled to the canvas and referee Sam Burgos ruled it an official knockdown, making it the first of Barthelemy’s career.

Barthelemy said, “I really don’t remember exactly what happened, but I felt it was more of a slip than anything. I was a little off balance and we butted heads so at that point that’s when I went down, but that’s okay. I don’t mind that they counted it.”

Bey had issues with the head contact also. “After I dropped him he got me again with a good head butt. The cut on my eye from that second head butt affected me for about four or five rounds, but it’s a fight, so you have to do the best you can with the vision you have. But I would have liked to avoid all the head contact.”

“It was the first time in my entire career, both amateurs and professionals, that I hit the canvas in any way,” added Barthelemy. “It was just a little surprising, but after that I knew I had to come out strong and put pressure on him because I knew the judges might hold that against me. My mentality originally was to outbox but I had to change my plans and start putting pressure on him.”

In a fight that saw a lot of competitive back and forth action during the middle and late rounds, neither fighter was able to take complete control or end the evening early.

Barthelemy believed he’d done enough to win unanimously arguing, “When I heard the judge who gave the score to Bey I thought he was either blind or he was bought. I felt that was disrespectful not only to me but to the fans as well.

“We knew what Mickey was prepared for though,” concluded Barthelemy. “We knew he was going to be an evasive counter puncher and we knew that Bey came from the Mayweather school of boxing. So we knew what we were up against and he put on a tough fight.”

Bey vowed to avenge the hard-fought loss soon. “I’m ready to get right back after it and chase another belt. I’m looking to stay busy and get back in the ring soon.”

В телевизионно отварачка, undefeated Puerto Rican bantamweight Emmanuel Rodriguez (15-0, 10 Нокаута) beat experienced Mexican Alberto “Метро” Guevara (24-3, 9 Нокаута) с единодушно решение (99-91, 100-90, 99-91).

Rodriguez controlled the opening rounds with a variety of left hooks and overhand rights, backing Guevara up at will.

“My strategy was to come in and attack him because he is not your typical Mexican-style fighter,” Саид Rodriguez.

An accidental head butt at the end of round four led to a cut that developed under the left eye of Guevara.

“We knew he was an awkward fighter,” said Rodriguez of their heads colliding, “But he was even more awkward than we thought.”

A highly decorated amateur, Rodriguez continued his calculated, methodical approach throughout the middle rounds.

Rodriguez added, “We weren’t able to really decipher him in the first rounds but we were able to adjust eventually.”

Guevara, who has fought in two world title fights, threw a change-up and came out fighting more wildly in round seven, causing Rodriguez some minor issues with the distance.

Обаче, Rodriguez stuck to his game plan and used his superior timing to coast to victory in the later rounds.

Guevara said, “My plan was to box him and tap him when I had him, but things didn’t come out that way. I’m not sure if it was a lack of focus or what it was, I’m just not sure. I feel good though. Беше тежка битка, harder than I expected. He’s a strong guy. I felt a little constrained and a little slow, but I tried my best тази вечер.”

Rodriguez summed up the win adding, “Чувствам се страхотно, Благодаря на Бога,. I’m really happy with this Victory, it was a victory that I needed to add onto my record and thankfully I was able to get it. Now I’m going to take a month off and wait until my management team tells us what fight date comes next so we can continue to pursue the goals we have set for ourselves.”

The second televised bout featured unbeaten prospect Калеб “Сладки Hands” Растение(13-0, 10 Нокаута) getting a knockout victory over Columbia’s Carlos Галван (12-5-1, 11 Нокаута) в среднотежка мач.

Plant spent much of the first two rounds displaying his trademark showmanship and feeling out Galvan.

Plant said his strategy entering the ring was, “To be sharp and slick тази вечер, stay relaxed and patient. I didn’t want to force anything or leave myself out there too long.”

That’s exactly what Plant did, ending the bout in the fourth with a devastating blow to Galvan’s solar plexus.

A frustrated Galvan said, “He got a lucky shot, I threw a straight right and he slipped by it and landed a body shot to my liver so I wasn’t able to continue with the fight after that.”

“It was just about staying patient and waiting for him to make a mistake,” фитосанитарния. “I wanted to take advantage, и това се случи. I took the body shot when I saw he was open and he went down.”
