Γ-Sergio Pettis (22-5) νίκησε Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4) μέσω ΚΟ (spinning backfist) στο 3:24 του γύρου τεσσάρων
Sergio Pettis: “I came out here and got beaten up for four rounds. When it happened, I was just like, ‘Man I am losing this fight. I’ve got to do something spectacular.’ It (the decisive punch that ended the fight) came at the right time.”
“I needed to face some adversity, and tonight Horiguchi gave me all of that. It was hard trying to time his rhythm, trying to get his movement down.”
“My coaches always tell me, ‘If you open up, you could be one of the best in the world.’ That what I’m pushing for.”
#9-Τζέρεμι Κένεντι (17-3, 1 NC) νίκησε #4-Εμμανουήλ Σάντσες (20-7) μέσω της ομόφωνης απόφασης (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Τζέρεμι Κένεντι: “I can’t seem to find it. My coaches got mad at me in my last fight. I’ve got an atomic bomb. That’s what my coach said. It’s a 100-mile (per hour) fastball. I’ve got to use it. Last fight, Δεν έκανα. I wanted to try and mix it up, change my style. I was competitive, but I had to get back to my roots.”
“I would have liked to have mixed it up a bit more, αλλά (Εμμανουήλ) Sanchez is in your face the whole time. It was hard to dictate that calculated range. He just came right at me.”
“I put a lot of pressure on myself. I had a close friend pass away. He was in my corner for my last few fights. I didn’t want to go home with a loss. I didn’t want to take any extra chance. I wanted to win every single exchange. I wanted to win every second, every moment of this fight. I didn’t care what that looked like. I had to get the ‘w.’ “
“Next time, I am going to get back to having fun and find that happy medium. This one is for Boom. I had to get my hand raised at all costs. I wasn’t coming out of this without a win.”
#7-Josh Χιλ (21-4) νίκησε Jared Scoggins (10-2) μέσω ΚΟ (γροθιά) στο :56 του γύρου δύο
Josh Χιλ: “This one was about timing. We knew the first round would be hard to get that timing down. Αυτός (Jared Scoggins) was very jumpy, in and out. That (punch that ended the fight) was right on the button.”
“I belong there (in the Bellator MMA World Grand Prix). I know this division is stacked, so I understand (why he wasn’t included). I want in. If there are any injuries or pull outs, I’m your man.”
“I saw him (Scoggins) go down and knew he was out. There was no point to keep going.”
«Αυτός (Scoggins) is very traditional, karate-esque. My coach and I worked on timing quite a bit. I knew the first round might be a little tricky. I landed a punch in the first, but it wasn’t on the money. The one in the second (that ended the fight) was.”
#5-Τζόνι Έμπλεν (10-0) νίκησε Collin Huckbody (10-4) μέσω TKO (γροθιές) στο 1:11 του πρώτου γύρου
Τζόνι Έμπλεν: “I wanted to send that dude (Huckbody) to the metaverse. Δυστυχώς, I could not do that tonight. I was I could have put on a better show, but it is what it is.”
“John Salter, I signed a bout agreement to fight you in Florida, but you [expletive withheld] έξω. I don’t know if you got hurt, or you [expletive withheld] έξω. But I want to see you in this [expletive withheld] cage, Γιάννης. Let’s gear up and let’s get after it.”
