ENGLERNE - Et væld af fantastiske kæmpere bevæbnet med verdenstitel-forhåbninger har sluttet sig til de stabledeBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burnellkort på lørdag, Marts 12. SHOWTIME sender det gigantiske hovedkort live inde fra Family Arena i St. Charles, Mo., på9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Tidligere titeludfordrer og nr. 2 rangeret-John Salter (18-5), samt ubesejrede BELLATOR MMA No. 3-rangeretJohnny Eblen(10-0), og kvindernes nr. 2 fjervægtKat Zingano(12-4) håber at tage det næste skridt mod BELLATOR MMA guld, når de slutter sig til de fire co-headline brawlere, der i øjeblikket er rangeret blandt det øverste lag af deres respektive divisioner.

Blandt de storslåede MMA-nærmeste vil være tre af de ti bedste mellemvægtere, fem ubesejrede og en plettfri amatør, fire top-to kandidater, og ti kæmpere rangeret sammen med BELLATOR MMA's elite.

I den vigtigste begivenhed af aftenen, Adam Borics (17-1) ogMads Burnell(16-3), to fjervægte lige nu som nr. 2 på den officielle BELLATOR MMA-rangliste, vil give et fremtidigt skud på BELLATOR 145-pund verdensmesterskabet. I co-featured Bout, tidligere BELLATOR Light Heavyweight Champion, 13-tid BELLATOR veteran, og nr. 2-rangeretPhil Davis (23-6, 1 NC) vil åbne sin 2022 kampagne mod nr. 4 Julius Anglickas(10-2), som senest udfordrede til titlen på 205 pund. Derudover, hovedkortet vil sætte fokus på en international letvægts-ekstravaganza som ubesejret New Alliance Jiu-Jitsu-teammedlemJay-Jay Wilson (8-0) af Auckland, New Zealand, rykker op i vægt for at møde Dagestan, RuslandsGadzhi Rabadanov(16-4-2), der kommer fra en knockout i første runde i sin kampagnedebut klBELLATOR MMA 263 i juli 2021.

Forud for de deraf følgende co-featured konkurrencer, et par top-mellemvægtere vil runde hovedkortet af, da Salter og Eblen giver sig i kast med vinderen af ​​den kommende verdensmesterskabskamp med 185-pund Champion Gegard Mousasi mod nr. 1-rangeret Austin VanderfordBELLATOR MMA 275 senere på måneden i Dublin, Irland.

Bevæbnet med en 8-2 BELLATOR rekord, Salter, en 15-årig pro MMA-veteran fra Nashville, Tenn., har den salgsfremmende rekord for de fleste afleveringer i BELLATOR MMA mellemvægts historie, og er stoppet 17 sin 23 modstandere. Kaldenavnet "Diamond Hands" på grund af hans kærlighed til kryptovaluta og vilje til at holde fast i sine investeringer, Eblen kommer efter en 71-sekunders udslettelse af Collin Huckbody klBELLATOR MMA 272i december 2021. Det seksdobbelte BELLATOR MMA-veteran og amerikanske Top-Team-produkt, som for nylig underskrev en forlængelse af BELLATOR-kontrakten med seks kampe, har sikret seks åbningsrunde stop, inklusive to af hans tre 2021 modstandere.

Ud over det storslåede hovedkort, et sandt overflødighedshorn af pulserende foreløbige punch ups vil begynde den fremtrædende nat med handling, Heriblandt en nærkamp fra det midtvestlige Minnesota, der tidligere udfordrer UFC-titlen og Winona, Fra., indfødte Zingano mod No.7-rangerede letvægtsPam Sørenson(9-4) af Blaine, Fra.

Set til at spille sin tredje BELLATOR MMA-optræden i træk med ambitioner om udfordrende BELLATOR MMA verdensmester i weltervægt for kvinderCris Cyborg, Zingano har haft en dekoreret kampkarriere. Den tidligere NCAA Division III All-American wrestler blev den første mor til at konkurrere i UFC og første kvinde til at vinde virksomhedens "Fight of the Night"-pris, tæller sejre over Miesha Tate, Amanda Nunes, Marion Reneau, og Gabrielle Holloway. Nylig, "Alpha" var med i serien "Double Duty", der skildrede forsøgene på at opretholde en balance mellem forældreskabets daglige ansvar og at tjene til livets ophold som professionel atlet.

En tidligere Invicta FC-mester i fjervægt for kvinder, Sorenson begyndte at kickbokse efter sin bedste vens bortgang. Efter at have forladt sin krone og anmodet om en løsladelse fra Invicta i juli 2021, Minneapolis-mauleren underskrev en multi-fight-aftale med BELLATOR MMA i midten af ​​2021. Kort efter at han kom til pionerfirmaet, den 35-årige registrerede en hårdt tilkæmpet splittelse over Roberta Samad klBELLATOR MMA 264 i Uncasville, Conn.

Der vil også være et blåtslået slagsmål, hvor to hårdtslående sværvægtere med syv karrierestop hver for sig som nr.. 8-rangeretAlex "Eazy" Polizzi (9-1) af Madison, Wisc., støder sammen med Team PitbullsJose "Guru" Augusto (7-3, 1 NC). Derudover, San Diego, Calif. indfødte, 11-tid BELLATOR MMA veteran, og nr. 6-rangeret"Barbarisk" Derek Anderson(17-4, 1 NC) vil blande det op med indsendelsesspecialist, BELLATOR brasiliansk blå mærke, og japansk fødtGoiti Yamaguchi (26-5), i en verdensomspændende weltervægtskrig.

Endvidere, tilføjet tilBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burneller en mindeværdig mellemvægtskamp, ​​der er ubesejret, Do Not. 6-rangeret 185 pund og ejer af tre på hinanden følgende stopRomero Cotton (5-0) af Hutchinson, Kansas, som modigt vil kæmpe mod rædslerne"The Boogeyman" Lance Wright (5-2). Desuden, tidligere division II All-American wrestler og fantastisk fjervægtCody lov(5-0), frisk på sin tredje åbningsrundeafslutning, stræber efter at undgå at blive skræmt af"Fantom" Johnny Soto (5-2) af Escondido, Calif.

Fortsætter den uforglemmelige nat med fantastisk action, ubesejret weltervægter og amerikansk Top-Team-medlemroman faraldo (6-0) vil gøre sin fjerde reklameoptræden i træk, når han udfordrer BELLATOR MMA rookieKelvin Rayford (5-3), mens lokal kombattantJordan Howard (10-5) af Jefferson City håber at begejstre Missouri-trofaste mod Athen, Illinois' egenTrevor Ward(5-5). To fluevægte vil også teste deres færdigheder, nårDiana Avsaragova(4-0) Rusland hilser velkommenAshley Deen (5-6) til BELLATOR.

ENGLERNE - I dag, BELLATOR officials confirmed a must-see main event pitting hard-hitting heavyweights Cheick Kongo (30-11-2) og Sergei Kharitonov (32-8) against one another tops BELLATOR MMA 265 på fredag, August 20 from the Sanford Pentagon in Sioux Falls, S.D. and airs live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

The card has also confirmed top featherweights No. 3 Adam Borics (17-1) og nr. 4 Jay-Jay Wilson (8-0) will meet for the right to face the winner of the BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix Final between Patricio “Pitbull” (32-4) og AJ McKee (17-0), which takes place on Saturday, Juli 31.

Tickets for the event go on sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. CT and are available at Sanford Pentagon Box Office & Ticketmaster.

The preliminary portion of BELLATOR MMA 265: Kongo vs. Kharitonov currentlyfeatures a flyweight bout pitting No.5-ranked Alejandra Lara (9-4) mod DeAnna Bennett (10-7-1) and willbegin at 6:00 p.m. OG / 3:00 p.m. PT and stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanal og Pluto TV. Additional preliminary bouts will be announced in the near future.

Holding an impressive MMA record of 30-11-2, 1 NC, Do Not. 3-ranked Cheick Kongo returns to action for the first time since headlining the first-ever major MMA event in his native France last October. The former kickboxer remains a force to be reckoned with and holds records for the most fights (16) og vinder (12) i BELLATORs sværvægtshistorie. With high-profile victories over Vitaly Minakov, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, and Matt Mitrione, the Parisian is keen to pad his current promotional records, set new ones, and earn his shot at BELLATOR gold.

The man nicknamed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the Russian scoring vicious wins against some of the sport’s marquee names, such as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Matt Mitrione, and Alistair Overeem. Nu, fresh off two championship victories on the regional circuit, Kharitonov returns to the BELLATOR cage with the intention of climbing the heavyweight rankings and asserting himself as a BELLATOR title contender.

28-year-old Hungarian Adam “The Kid” Borics has won 17 af 18 fights to begin his professional career, bouncing back from his only loss with three straight victories. Training out of South Florida’s Sanford MMA gym, Borics has firmly established himself as a true threat to anyone in the 145-pound division, where he is currently ranked third.

Undefeated in his first eight fights as a professional, New Zealand’s Wilson has won in style, accumulating six finishes in those eight wins. Following a split decision win against Tywan Claxton, Wilson scored a violent knockout of Sergio DeBari, then followed that victory up with an equally vicious spinning backfist stoppage over SBG’s Pedro Carvalho in April. The Kiwi fighter will be looking to secure a high-stakes victory over Borics with a world title shot awaiting the winner.

BELLATOR MMA 256: Bader vs.. Machida 2 Hovedkortet:
#1-Ryan Bader (28-6, 1 NC) besejret #4-Lyoto Machida (26-11) via enstemmig afgørelse (49-46, 49-45, 49-45)
Bader “I don’t know who I’d rather face next. I don’t know much about [Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov] but I know Corey [Anderson] really well. I brought him in for training camps for Phil Davis. He’s a good guy so I’m rooting for him. But if I have to fight him, I know he’s tough. I’m in this tournament and I ran through another tournament before. I had fun so that’s why I came down here. It doesn’t matter who’s in my way. I want that belt back and this was the first step right here.

“There’s redemption this whole tournament. I got one back on Machida but I’ve lost to Nemkov and I’ve lost to Anthony Johnson, so I would like to meet one of them in the finals. But honestly, to make it to the finals and fight for the belt, I’d be happy with whoever it is.”

#2-Liz Carmouche (15-7) besejret Vanessa Porto (22-8) via enstemmig afgørelse (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Carmouche: “As soon as they say I’m clear and I’m good, I’m ready to get right back into fighting camp and go for the belt. If I don’t get a title shot, I’d be disappointed of course. I came in here with the hopes that I would work up the ranks to fight for the title. I just need to know what I need to do. You tell me who I need to beat to get that fight and I’ll do it. I certainly hope that taking somebody who has more fights than I do and beating her tonight would put me in contention for that belt.”

#3-Adam Borics (17-1) besejrede#8-Jeremy Kennedy (16-3, 1 NC) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Borics: “I don’t care who my next opponent is, but just give me the winner of the [Featherweight World Grand Prix] turnering. I’m definitely next in line. My goal is to get the winner but let’s see what BELLATOR wants. I am really happy I got this opportunity to fight during these crazy times. I feel that I am ready for a title. I have eight or nine fights with BELLATOR so yes, I would like to fight for the title next.”

#3-Kat Zingano (12-4) besejret Olivia Parker (4-2) via indsendelse (armbar) på 2:56 af runde én
Zingano: “I want to go against the best. I know who’s the best. I know these two girls [Cris Cyborg and Leslie Smith] have a fight coming up in a couple months and I’d love to get a shot at the belt over here in BELLATOR. That would mean a lot to me.”

Dan Moret (15-6) besejret #3-Yamauchi op (25-5) via split beslutning (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis was interviewed on the telecast ahead of his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event debut tomorrow night against former 140-pound world champion Sergey Lipinets.

“You’re going to see a lot of speed, magt, and me having fun. It’s about making statements and getting knockouts at the end of the night,” said the 23-year-old Ennis, who will be taking on the toughest challenge of his career in Lipinets as he pursues a world title shot. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to headline my first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and it’s the start of me being a pay-per-view star. It’s only up after this. It’s time for me to do my thing tomorrow night.”

Fighting out of Austin, Texas, the 34-year-old Los Angeles native returns to Bellator for the first time since facing Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 33. The first MMA fighter to ever appear on the cover of Sports Illustrated, Huerta’s entertaining fight style saw him memorably defeat Clay Guida and Leonard Garcia. Nu, fresh off of two consecutive victories, “El Matador” is not shying away from elite competition for his first fight of 2018.

UNDEFEATED PROSPECTS JAMES GALLAGHER & ADAM BORICS HEADLINE BELLATOR 196 IN BUDAPEST, HUNGARY ON APRIL 6

BOK HALL TO HOST BELLATOR MMA AND KICKBOXING EVENTS

 

 

 

LOS ANGELES – Bellator will hold its third event in Budapest, Ungarn om Fredag, April 6, bringing along a battle of young guns looking to remain undefeated early in their mixed martial arts careers. The pride of Strabane, Nordirland, James Gallagher (7-0) meets Budapest’s Adam Borics (10-0) in an exciting Bellator 196 featherweight main event matchup.

 

 

A women’s flyweight bout will serve as the co-main event of the card, when the Bellator women’s 125-pound kickboxing champion Denise Kielholtz (1-1) tager på Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 NC). Desuden, the April 6 card at BOK Hall will also feature world-class kickboxing action, as Bellator Kickboxing returns for another great night of fights. A main event for the kickboxing portion of the card will be announced in the coming days.

 

 

Bellator 196: Gallagher vs.. Borics will be broadcast Fredag, April 6 free on Paramount Network (tidligere Spike) på 9 p.m. OG/8 p.m. CT, mens foreløbig handling vil streame på Bellator.com og globalt på Bellator Mobile App. Bellator Kickboxing 9 will air immediately following at 11 p.m. OG/10 p.m. CT.

There are few mixed martial artists that invoke the type of polarizing reaction “The Strabanimal” does when entering the Bellator cage. A longtime training partner of Conor McGregor under the tutelage of world-renowned coach John Kavanagh at SBG Ireland, the 21-year-old has been on a tear since signing with Bellator in 2016, racking up four wins in four contests. With each victory, Gallagher has showcased a growing skillset, culminating in a first-round submission of Chinzo Machida at Bellator 180 juni sidste år. Now fully recovered from injury, Gallagher has a tough test ahead in the undefeated Hungarian.

 

 

 

Adam Borics made his Bellator debut at Bellator 177, finishing Anthony Taylor via submission in the opening frame. Known as “The Kid,” Borics has competed exclusively throughout his four-year career in Europe, and this time will be no different. Having won over plenty of fans over on the heels of his promotional debut in April of last year, Borics will definitely have the home field advantage on April 6.

 

 

 

 

Bellator women’s kickboxing flyweight champ Denise Kielholtz is riding high following her first MMA victory over Jessica Middleton earlier this year at Bellator 188, while Lena Ovchynnikova will enter the Bellator cage on April 6 looking to duplicate the success she had the last time she competed in Hungary, a TKO victory over Helen Harper. When the pair of flyweights compete at Bellator 196, look for both to keep the fight on their feet, making for an exciting standup battle.

Fjervægt Main Event: James Gallagher (7-0) vs. Adam Borics (10-0)

Karim Ghajji (98-13-1) besejret Zoltan Laszak (11-3) via split beslutning (50-45, 48-47, 46-49)

Karim Ghajji Quote:

We prepared really hard for this fight. Everything that we set out to accomplish, we did. I know I could do even better, but you know in fights it doesn’t go exactly the way you want every time. In the first round when I slipped, I hurt my knee and it was extremely painful but I knew I had to dig down and do more and more to win this belt, which means everything to me,” Ghajji said. “This is the most beautiful day of my life. Like we say: ‘Hallelujah! I got my belt back.I felt a lot of pressure to get this belt back, and what an amazing sensation it is to win it back. I look forward to fighting the best fighters Bellator has to offer to confirm that I am the champ, but also, I’d like to compete in MMA. In France we have a lot of tough MMA fighters at our gym and my ground and pound is quite destructive. I would like to do this.

Joe Schilling (21-9) besejret Alexandru Negrea (10-4) via enstemmig afgørelse (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Joe Schilling Quote:

The fight was okay I was really surprised that he was so tough. He’s fought in Super Combat in Romania so he’s had a lot of tough European opponents that he’s fought against. Skill level I didn’t think he’s fought against the level of competition that I’ve competed against, but he did a really good job and he was really tough. He was trying to bait me into throwing with him and he’d try to catch me when I would come in, so I was trying to stay a lot more composed and show that I’m not that idiot that fought [Hisaki] Kato twice,” Schilling said. “I’ve made a lot of changes in my personal life. I’m a lot more focused and more serious and my goal i aften was to show the level of competitor and world class kickboxer that I am and I think I did that. Hats off to Alex, han gjorde et godt stykke arbejde. There’s not that many people who can take those kinds of shots for three rounds. I think the judges decision was a little ridiculous. I don’t think I’d have given him half of one round let alone a round. I think they gave him the second, which is silly. Men, overall it was a good night, vacation starts now.

Raymond Daniels (13-3) besejret Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) via KO at 0:36 af runde tre

Raymond Daniels Quote:

Another opportunity to go out there and make a mark with that Bellator brand. I know my man Nick Diaz says: ‘Cut out all that spinning shit,’ but I think he means everybody but me,” Daniels said. “I’ve been training for many years in sport karate and the martial arts and you know it’s a lot like training to be a sniper so to speak. There’s holes and there’s windows and when your opponent gives you those holes you have to seize that opportunity. I saw that hole, I exposed it, and it happened to be with my spin kick which is one of my most powerful and devastating techniques. If I hit that mark with that kick it’s a home run, grand slam, I’m hitting it out of the park every time. I’ve been able to spar recently with several great MMA veterans like Rory MacDonald, Georges St. Pierre and Tyron Woodley and I’ve had a lot of fun training with those guys so I’m definitely interested in doing MMA again. It’s a lot of fun to go at it with small gloves because people can’t use the big gloves as a shield to block my shots. I want to seize this Bellator Kickboxing title and continue to help build this kickboxing brand because I know they’re investing a lot of time into it. So yea, I’m definitely interested in crossing that bridge and getting some MMA fights, but my main focus is to take home that kickboxing gold.

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) besejret Irene Martens (20-10-2) via enstemmig afgørelse (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Jorina Baars Quote:

“Det var en god kamp, I thought that Irene [Martens] was very tough. I had control from the very beginning of the fight and I kept it for all three of the rounds. I was a little disappointed in the first round but the second and third round I performed much better. She worked hard and moved a lot, so my strategy was to keep the pressure on her and try to put her in the corner and I think I succeeded at that,” Baars said after her win. “It was amazing to finally fight for Bellator. The organization is so professional. I’m looking forward to my future fights here and I hope to win the Bellator title.

Gabor Gorbics (31-10) besejret Gabriel Varga (13-5) via split beslutning (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

Gabor Gorbics Quote:

I’m very happy with the win and I hope I continue to win here in Bellator,” Gorbics said. “I trained very hard for this. I’ve got a lovely family and team that helped me to prepare and I will get back in the gym mandag to continue training.
