MATT MITRIONE SCEGLIE BELLATOR MMA, FIRMA UN ESCLUSIVO, CONTRATTO MULTICONTRO CON LA PROMOZIONE

Lascia un commento

SANTA MONICA (Marzo 14, 2016) - La settimana scorsa, il miglior agente libero di arti marziali miste Matt Mitrione (9-5) si è unito allo spettacolo "MMA Hour" di Ariel Helwani e ha rivelato di aver ricevuto offerte da più promozioni, compresa una grande offerta che aveva ricevuto da Bellator MMA. In una mossa molto rara, Helwani ha invitato Mitrione a partecipare al suo popolare talk show per la seconda settimana consecutiva per annunciare che i documenti sono stati finalizzati, rendendo Mitrione il nuovo membro della divisione dei pesi massimi di Bellator MMA.

 

"Arriva un momento nella vita di ogni atleta, dove gli scenari cambiano e il paesaggio si è eroso da quello che ti ha fatto innamorare inizialmente,”Disse Mitrione. “È diventato quel momento per me. Dopo un periodo di free agency reciprocamente vantaggioso, Ho deciso di spostare la mia carriera a Bellator. Mi sono goduto quasi ogni secondo della mia carriera e, a differenza della maggior parte, ho cambiato organizzazione perché sono stato tagliato o non sono più in grado di esibirmi ai livelli più alti, Sto portando un corpo e un set di abilità che stanno solo migliorando e non vedo l'ora di mettere alla prova le mie capacità contro il meglio che Bellator ha da offrire ".

 

Affettuosamente definito "Meathead,"Mitrione è uno dei pochi combattenti ad aver iniziato la sua carriera professionale con l'UFC senza aver precedentemente gareggiato nel circuito regionale. Il suo periodo di 14 incontri con quella promozione è iniziato nel 2009, dove ha affrontato avversari formidabili del calibro di: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Shawn Jordan e Travis Brown tra gli altri.

 

Prima di competere in MMA, Mitrione ha guadagnato una borsa di studio per giocare a placcaggio difensivo per la squadra di calcio Purdue Boilermakers, non lontano da dove è cresciuto a Springfield, Malato. Dopo l'università, ha giocato nella NFL per i New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers e Minnesota Vikings fino al 2005.

 

Alla conclusione della sua carriera calcistica professionistica, la cintura nera di Karate Shotokan ha concentrato tutta la sua attenzione sullo sport delle MMA. Mitrione ha trascorso del tempo ad allenarsi con Duke Roufus e il rispettato team Roufusport prima di atterrare con il famoso campo di Blackzilians a Boca Raton, FLA, dove si allena oggi.

 

Il popolarissimo e ben parlato Mitrione ha permesso ai giudici di determinare il risultato del suo combattimento solo due volte, contro Joey Beltran e Cheick Kongo, entrambi attualmente combattono per Bellator MMA. Il suo divertente stile di combattimento gli è valso il riconoscimento “Performance della notte” (due volte) e “Fight of the Night” riconoscimenti.

 

Prima della sua ultima battaglia con la sua ex promozione, Mitrione è stato costretto a partecipare a una seduta mediatica a piedi nudi, poiché le sue scarpe non aderivano alla rigida politica delle uniformi aziendali. Non avrà questi problemi a Bellator, dove è libero di assicurarsi i propri sponsor e di tenere i piedi al caldo con le calzature di sua scelta.

 

Bellator ha rafforzato la loro divisione dei pesi massimi negli ultimi tempi, e Mitrione diventa il secondo free agent dei pesi massimi che la promozione ha firmato in altrettanti mesi, come Sergei Kharitonov si è unito alla mischia a febbraio. La divisione è attualmente sostenuta da Vitaly Minakov, e include altri nomi importanti come Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius “Spartan,"Tony Johnson, Justin Wren, Dan Charles e Augusto Sakai.

ANASTASIA YANKOVA WILL MAKE PROMOTIONAL DEBUT AGAINST ANJELA PINK

INFORMATION ON INAUGURAL BELLATOR KICKBOXING EVENT BELOW

SANTA MONICA, COME. (Marzo 9, 2016) – The mixed martial arts portion of Bellator MMA’s first event overseas has been finalized, con l'aggiunta di Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (15-7) contro Derek Campi (16-6) in caso principale "Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Campos” at Pala Alpitour in Torino, Italia on Aprile 16.

Anche, anastasia Yankova (2-0) farà il suo debutto promozionale contro Anjela Rosa nell'azione dei pesi mosca MMA e nei concorrenti dell'Oktagon Daniele Miceli (2-0) e Daniele Scatizzi (6-2) completerà la carta MMA con una resa dei conti piuma.

"Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Campos” will also include the promotional debut of Italian fan-favorite Alessio Sakara (17-11), che affronta Brian Rogers (12-8) in un incontro dei pesi massimi leggeri e uno dei giovani prospetti più promettenti di MMA, A.J.

Fresh off an emphatic knockout of Ryan Couture a "Bellator 148: Daley vs. Uhrich” to kickoff 2016, “Pitbull” will look to extend his current winning streak when he takes on a streaking Derek Campos. Also known as the “The Stallion,” Campos is riding a wave of momentum into Italy, as he is returning to action following a finish of Melvin Guillard during main card action at the rating’s-shattering "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie " evento. Con 15 TKO/KO’s between them, expect these two lightweights to trade leather in the center of the cage on Aprile 16th.

It’s easy to classify Yankova as “solo un altro bel viso,” ma il 24-year-old russo Muay Thai Champion ha le abilità di combattimento a più di abbinare il suo bell'aspetto. Imbattuto finora nella sua nascente carriera MMA, the Moscow native will face Pink in her Bellator debut. In definitiva, both women will look to make a statement as the Scott Coker-led promotion continues to build its women’s flyweight division.

BELLATOR MMA BRINGS FANS CLOSER TO THEIR FAVORITE FIGHTERS WITH NEW VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY

SANTA MONICA (Marzo 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage per così dire,"Ha detto Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.

DARRION CALDWELL SUPLEXES, CHOKES HIS WAY TO MAIN EVENT VICTORY AT ‘BELLATOR 151’ ON SPIKE

Thackerville, OK. (Marzo 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion Caldwell (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over Joe Warren (13-5) in caso principale “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” il Venerdì night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, con “Il Lupo” taking down the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” and initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked choke — that Warren refused to tap to — forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 del primo round.

Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Marcos Galvao, simply saying: “F*ck you [Marcos] Galvao, you’re a p*ssy.” That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. Nel frattempo, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Eduardo Dantas when they do finally meet.

 

In the co-main event of the evening, Fernando Gonzalez (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of Gilbert Smith (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ scorecard, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 verbale. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Pagina, who was originally slated to face “Il Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” Aprile 22, quando Benson Henderson sfide Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight belt.

 

Yamauchi up (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Jenkins (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, ma “The Highlight Kid’s” effective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 perdita di Georgi Karakhanyan.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell,” Sirwan Kakai (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) tramite decisione unanime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “Baby Joe” was going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — but “Zohan” weathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. Alla fine, i giudici’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

 

Risultati preliminari di carte:

Treston Thomison (9-4) sconfitto Aaron Roberson (5-4) via Submission (Guillotine) R2, 2:20

Jermayne Barnes (1-1) sconfitto Derek Palmer (0-1) via Submission (Punzoni) R2, 1:17
