Joe Warren (13-4) #Kontra?. Darrion Caldwell (8-0)

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Nun, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Marcos Galvao early in 2015. A 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, Luktanta.

 

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Aro via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Warren] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

Fernando Gonzalez (24-13) #Kontra?. Gilbert Smith (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking “Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1” event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul “Semtex” Daley. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

 

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. ?Midnight Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

 

Goiti Yamauchi (19-2) #Kontra?. Bubba Jenkins (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Mike Richman, Martin Stapleton, Kaj Isao Kobayashi. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 De lia 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

 

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, plej laste, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Jordan Parsons.

 

Sirwan Kakai (12-3) #Kontra?. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 Bataloj. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

 

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan,? 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.

Here is what the participants had to say Monday:
ADRIEN BRONER
This is really a big fight for me. I know that Ashley Theophane is going to come to fight, because he has something to prove. He’s going to try to take my world title.
A lot of people told me I wouldn’t be here. I come from nothing. Like cereal and water nothing. I’m very fortunate to have someone like Floyd to look up to. I don’t want to be like Floyd though, I don’t want to be like any man. I admire him and respect him, but I’m creating my legacy.
“Fine de la tago, Floyd and Ashley aren’t on my side. I’m against them. They’re coming to dethrone me. They’re my enemy right now and I’m going to beat Ashley down.
This training camp, I’ve really been perfecting my craft. This is going to be the best performance of my career. It’s going to be a highlight reel performance. I’m not coming to just get a win.
This fight isn’t going four rounds. That’s too many. This is going to be quick. I’m not playing.
There’s nothing Floyd can teach [Theophane]. Fine de la tago, it all goes out the window. The trainers and entourage can’t help. They can’t help Ashley Theophane.
I want everyone to come out. Big brother Floyd Mayweather is gone, everyone else is too boring, so I’m taking over the sport.
ASHLEY THEOPHANE
There are many different thing we’re working on to neutralize Broner and keep up with his quickness. I’ve sparred with a lot of young guys who imitate him and I believe I can match him.
He does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. Adrien Broner can be beat and he has been. We’re working hard. At the end of the day this is my career-defining fight.
We all turn pro to become a world champion. I’ve been in the gym for months, working on things and staying in shape.
I’ve watched Adrien Broner in the past. I was at the John Molina and Shawn Porter fights and I know he’s got talent. But he can be beat. He’s vulnerable, very vulnerable.
It’s not just about what you do in the ring, but it’s also about being a mature fighter. He’s going to do what he does and as a grown man, I just have to stay calm. Being the more experienced fighter is a position I like.
I’m representing Floyd Mayweather. He has my back and he believes in me. He believes I can win and that’s extra motivation.
I want to be the best I’ve ever been. I want to fight the fight of my life on Aprilo 1. I don’t want to turn the clock back. I want this to be the best performance of my career.
It’s been a long journey as a professional and I have to thank Floyd for giving me this chance. Aprilo 1 is going to be a war. Adrien is a warrior and I know he has no quit in him. If you have a dream, you have to work hard to make it come true and that’s what I’m here to do.
ROBERT EASTER JR.
I’m thankful to everyone who put me in this position. I will give everyone a shot like I always do.
I consider D.C. one of my hometowns and I’m coming to give everyone a show. This is a blessing and a tremendous opportunity.
I want a world title and this is another big step on my way towards that goal. Esti kapabla fari ĝin sur karto de Adrien Broner nuraj garantioj ĝi estas iranta esti granda nokto.
“Mi estas nur preta montri de miaj kapabloj kaj fari nomon por mi mem por ke mi povas daŭri kreski en ĉi tiu sporto.”
GERVONTA DAVIS
“Mi estas sendube ekscitita batali en DC. Tio ĉi estas kie mia unua profesia batalo estis. Mi estas tiel thankful al Barry Hunter por lasanta min trajno kun li kaj helpanta min al ĉi tiu ŝanco.
“Mi havas grandan teamon. Precipe Floyd Mayweather, Kiu prenis min je kaj instruis min tiom da pri bokso sed ankaŭ pri ĉio ekstere de la ringo. Mi estas benita havi lian subtenon en mia kariero.
Aprilo 1, Ĝi estas iranta esti ago-plenplena batalo. Mi estos monda ĉampiono unu tago. Vi ne deziras perdiĝi ĉi tiu unu.”
ANTHONY PETERSON
“Tio ĉi estas mia 38a batalo, Iranta por mia 37a venko kaj kvara knokaŭto en disputo. Boksanta ne estas io vi parolas proksimume, Vi nur faras ĝin. Tio estas kio mi estas iranta fari 1a de aprilo. Ĝi estas iranta malsupren.
“Mi faris mian profesian debuton sur Roy Jones karto, Kiu estis alia granda stadio. Do mi estas tre preta kaj benita.
“Mi estas venanta doni mian hejmurbon ventumas la knokaŭton. Boksanta estas kiel ĵazo, La pli bona ĝi estas, La malpli ĝi estas ŝatita. Knokaŭto akiros vin laŭdo.
“Mi estas celanta ĉiun en la divido. Mi deziras zonon. La unua unu paŝi supre, Mi estas iranta prizorgi de li.”
FLOYD MAYWEATHER
“Mi estas feliĉa esti ĉi tie kaj mi vere kredas tion ĉi estos tre ekscita batalo. Adrien estas tre juna kaj eksploda batalanto. Li estas forto en boksanta ĝuste nun.
Ashley Theophane is a guy that came from the UK with a dream. His dream was to be world champion one day. Same dream I had. Li estas tre humila, hungry and dedicated fighter.
I don’t think this is going to be an easy fight for Adrien. I’ll tell both guys to push themselves to the limit and give fans what they want to see.
Gervonta Davis is someone I look at like a son. I met him in 2014 and they said this is the next big thing. Broner brought him to my gym to let me see him work. He’s a very explosive kid. He’s exciting and he will be fighting for a world title soon after a couple more bouts.
I want to thank Adrien for giving him the chance to make his dream come true. I believe Adrien will continue to put on exciting fights and a good show. Vi estas kvieta lernado, Ĝi estas ĉiuj procezo.
“Adrien kaj Gervonta havas grandajn teamojn. La Baltimore kaj D.C. Areo havas iun eksterordinaran talenton kaj la trejnistoj estas nekredeblaj. Mi ne estas influita, Mi sentas kiel kio ajn batalanto estas komforta kun, Tio estas kiu batalanto devus esti kun.
“Mayweather Antaŭenigoj ne estas rapidanta, Ni estas prenantaj ĝin unu paŝo samtempe. Mi amus vidi kelkaj de ĉi tiuj uloj rompas miajn rekordojn. Rekordoj estas signifita esti rompita. Mi faris ĉion mi povas fari en la sporto. Mi estas benita dividi la stadion kun ĉi tiuj junaj uloj.
“Ashley estas laboranta kun granda trejnisto en Nate Jones. Li estas eksa Olympian kaj ulo kiu havas grandan boksan menson.
“DC ne estas bona urbo, Ĝi estas granda urbo. Ni ne povus elekti pli bonan lokon havi la batalon. Mi kredas ke tio ĉi estos kapitulacita eventon. Mi estas iranta labori fari certe ĉie vi rigardas en la urbo, Vi vidos Adrien Broner kaj Ashley Theophane.”
RICK ROSS, Plateno Vendanta Rekordan Artiston
“Mi ne estas nur amiko de la boksistoj, Sed mi estas ankaŭ amiko de la sporto. Tio ĉi estas mia preferata sporto. Mi kredas tion ĉi estas la sporto de gladiatoroj. Tio ĉi estas kie viroj, Kun ambicio kaj tuta staros-sola.
“mi kaj mia amiko Adrien Broner, Estos faranta kelkajn ekscitajn aferojn en 2016. Mi estas ĉi tie lasi ĉiun scias en la nomo de la kokso-salteta komunumo, KE ni estas subtenantaj ĉi tiun batalon. Aprilo 1, ‘La Estro’ Estos en la konstruaĵo.”

COMPLETE BELLATOR 150 PHOTOS HERE

MULVANE, Kan. (Februaro 26, 2015) – A week removed from the most watched Bellator MMA event in company history, the Scott Coker-led promotion returned to action on SPIKE with “Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz,” an event that delivered five spectacular main card fights.

 

In the evening’s main event, Cheick Kongo (24-10-2) intelligently managed the distance between he and Vinicius Spartan (8-4), kicking and jabbing his way to a split decision victory (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan did have his moments during the heavyweight encounter, securing takedowns in rounds two and three, followed by a knockdown late. But in the end, Kongo received the benefit of the doubt from the Kansas-appointed judges. The Frenchman has now won two straight, and improved to 6-2 overall under the Bellator MMA banner.

It only took David Rickels (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish Bobby Cooper (12-6) in front of a sellout crowd at Kansas Star Arena on Friday. Both men had their moments during the action, but after a knee to the body dropped Cooper to his knees, “The Caveman” pummelled his foe with hammerfists until referee John McCarthy called a stop to the action.

Kendall Bosko (23-15) Haltita Francisco Francio (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 Sekundoj en la dua rondo, winning by knockout. The victory was an emotional one for “Da Spyder,” who recently lost his brother and made it clear his performance was dedicated to his late sibling. Grove has now won three of his last four tilts, all via finish.

Chuka Willis (7-2) manoj Gaston Reyno (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, Gajnanta tra unuanima decido (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The scrap went back-and-forth over the course of 15 Minutoj, with multiple submission attempts and knockdowns by both men. But in the end – much to the delight of the partisan crowd – Willis earned the nod.

Former Shamrock FC Flyweight Champion Rebecca Ruth (6-1) Venkita Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) Tra unuanima decido (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at “Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz.” For “Ruthless” the win is the first of her career via the judges’ scorecards and extended her current winning streak to four straight.

Carvalho’s second-round body kick knockout of Brandon Halsey #?E “Bellator 144: Halsey #kontra?. Carvalho” was the third biggest oddsmaker upset in 2015, and extended his current winning streak to 12. The 29-year-old will be making his fourth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and has an impressive finishing rate of 83 Procento.

With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has been given the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor is fresh off his emphatic knockout of Hisaki Kato #?E “Bellator 146: Manhoef #kontra?. Kato” en novembro. Now the 39-year-old is in position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, before returning to kickboxing competition in the newly founded Bellator Kickboxing league.

 

It’s hard to find a Bellator MMA fighter with as many memorable moments for the Scott Coker-led promotion as Pat Curran. The former featherweight kingpin has been involved in wars with fighters the likes of: current champion Daniel Straus, Patricio Freire, Daniel Weichel, Kaj Joe Warren. Now “Paddy Mike” sets his sights on “Insane,” in a bout that surely has future title implications at stake.

 

Karakhanyan made a splash in his return to Bellator MMA in 2015, choking out Bubba Jenkins in his first fight for the Viacom-owned promotion since 2011. Nun, the Millenia MMA standout will put his knack for submitting opponents (14X) to the test against Curran, a fighter who has only been submitted once in 28-fights.

La 34-jaro-malnova estas aktuale en la mezo de kvar-batala venksinsekvo kaj emerĝis venkinta en sep el liaj lastaj ok Ĉifoneroj. En lia lasta ekskurso, Galvao finis Joe Warren #?E “Bellator 135: Warren #kontra?. Galvao " via submission to win his first-ever championship and fulfil a promise he made to his mother before her unfortunate passing.

 

Dume, Dantas sercxos duplikati la sukceson li havis kontraŭ Galvao en ilia unua renkontiĝo, which resulted in a second-round knockout at “Bellator 89.” Last May, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao product dispelled of Mike Richman via unanimous decision at “Bellator 137: Halsey #kontra?. Grove. " La Bellator Sezono 5 Bantamweight Tournament winner is looking to become a two-time bantamweight champion come Oktobro 23.

 

Kongo will be making his eighth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, looking to add to his impressive promotional mark of 5-2. The Parisian native has fought a who’s who in the mixed martial arts landscape, with notable wins against Mirko Cro Cop, Pat Barry, Matt Mitrione, and Alexander Volkov already on his record. In his last outing – which just so happened to be inside the Kansas Star ArenaKongo impressively defeated Volkov via unanimous decision.

 

After nearly two years out of action, Queiroz returned to the Bellator MMA cage against Ewerton Teixeira #?E “Bellator 139: Kongo vs. Volkov,? defeating his fellow Brazilian opponent via second round arm-triangle choke. “Spartan” hopes to plant the seeds for a busy 2016 with the matchup against Kongo, where a win can undoubtedly place him in the midst of the heavyweight title picture.

 

Grove capped off 2015 with an emphatic knockout of Joey Beltran #?E “Bellator 143: Warren #kontra?. Davis,? En septembro.

A veteran of Strikeforce, “Kiko” France has strung together a five-fight winning streak as of late, most recently handing the formerly undefeated Ben Reiter the first loss of his young career at “Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef.” It’s safe to classify the 33-year-old Arizona native as a “submission specialist,” with 12 De lia 13 wins as a professional coming by way of making his opponent tap.

 

A Bellator MMA event in Mulvane, Kansas just wouldn’t be the same without “The Caveman,” who will return to action for the first time since competing against Mikaelo Chandler this past November.

The last time Bobby Cooper fought inside the Kansas Star Arena, he took home a closely contested split decision victory over“Bellator 147” co-headliner Paŭlo Villaseca.

It’s worth noting that the Missouri native has only lost twice in his last eight MMA appearances.

 

Hailing from Ukraine, Ovchynnikova will enter the fray fresh off a new exclusive, multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA. “Hunter” has previously fought the likes of Joanne Calderwood and at only 28-years-old has already competed professionally since 2006. Nun, Ovchynnikova looks to solidify herself as a top contender in the budding women’s flyweight division on Februaro 26 against a tough foe in Ruth.

 

“Becky” Ruth was undefeated in 2015, winning all three of her matchups by technical knockout under the Shamrock Fighting Championships banner.

Brusto 5000 Statement on Post-Fight Condition

Statement from the Harris Family:

 

The Harris Family would like to inform Dada’s friends and fans that Dada is ok and resting comfortably in a Houston area Hospital under the care of an incredible staff of doctors and nurses.

The doctors have now informed us that Dada had accumulated extremely high levels of potassium in his blood which led to severe dehydration, fatigue and renal failure. The high potassium levels were likely caused by his 40lbs weight loss in preparation for the fight.

Thanks to the EMTs and doctors, Dada is now recovering nicely.

Dada showed the heart of a lion in the cage- not backing down throughout. He worked extremely hard preparing for the fight and stepped forward for 3 rounds against a tough veteran. He kept digging through the adversity- leaving it all in the cage for his fans and supporters. You can never take that away from him.

We’d like to thank all those who have supported Dada as well as express our sincere appreciation to Scott Coker, and the good people at BELLATOR and Spike who have been on-site to visit Dada and support the family.

We ask for the public and media to respect Dada’s privacy as he recovers.
