Armed with an 8-2 BELLATOR record, Salter, a 15-year pro MMA veteran out of Nashville, Tenn., holds the promotional record for most submissions in BELLATOR MMA middleweight history, and has stopped 17 da sua 23 oponentes. Nicknamed “Diamond Hands” due to his love for crypto currency and willingness to hold onto his investments, Eblen is coming off a 71-second annihilation of Collin Huckbody atBELLATOR MMA 272em dezembro 2021. The six-time BELLATOR MMA veteran and American Top-Team product, who recently signed a six-fight BELLATOR contract extension, has secured six opening-round stoppages, including two of his three 2021 oponentes.

After vacating her crown and requesting a release from Invicta in July 2021, the Minneapolis mauler signed a multi-fight deal with BELLATOR MMA in mid-2021. Soon after joining the pioneering company, the 35-year-old recorded a hard-fought split decision over Roberta Samad atBELLATOR MMA 264 em Uncasville, Conn.

OS ANJOS - Hoje, Dirigentes da BELLATOR confirmaram um evento principal imperdível enfrentando pesos pesados ​​de peso Cheick Kongo (30-11-2) e Sergei Kharitonov (32-8) um contra o outro topos BELLATOR MMA 265 na sexta-feira, Agosto 20 do Pentágono Sanford em Sioux Falls, SD. e vai ao ar ao vivo no SHOWTIME às 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

O card também confirmou que os pesos-penas superiores não. 3 Adam Borics (17-1) e n. 4 Jay-Jay Wilson (8-0) se reunirão pelo direito de enfrentar o vencedor da final do Grande Prêmio Mundial dos Pesos Pena BELLATOR entre Patrick "Pitbull" (32-4) e AJ McKee (17-0), que acontece no sábado, Julho 31.

Os ingressos para o evento começam a ser vendidos nesta quinta-feira em 10 a.m. CT e estão disponíveis no Sanford Pentagon Box Office & Ticketmaster.

A parte preliminar de BELLATOR MMA 265: Kongo vs. Kharitonov atualmente apresenta uma luta de peso mosca com a classificação No.5 Alejandra Lara (9-4) contra DeAnna Bennett (10-7-1) e começará em 6:00 p.m. E / 3:00 p.m. PT e transmissão ao vivo no canal BELLATOR MMA no YouTube, Canal SHOWTIME Sports no YouTube e Pluto TV. Lutas preliminares adicionais serão anunciadas em um futuro próximo.

Detendo um impressionante recorde de MMA de 30-11-2, 1 NC, Não. 3-O classificado Cheick Kongo retorna à ação pela primeira vez desde que foi a atração principal do primeiro grande evento de MMA em sua França natal em outubro passado. O ex-kickboxer continua sendo uma força a ser reconhecida e detém recordes de mais lutas (16) e ganha (12) na história dos pesos pesados ​​da BELLATOR. Com vitórias de alto nível sobre Vitaly Minakov, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, e Matt Mitrione, o parisiense está ansioso para aumentar seus recordes promocionais atuais, definir novos, e ganhar sua chance de ouro BELLATOR.

O homem apelidado de “O Pára-quedista,”Kharitonov é dono de um currículo igualmente notável no MMA, com as vitórias russas marcando vitórias contra alguns dos nomes mais importantes do esporte, como Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Matt Mitrione, e Alistair Overeem. Agora, fresco de duas vitórias em campeonatos no circuito regional, Kharitonov retorna à jaula da BELLATOR com a intenção de subir no ranking dos pesos pesados ​​e se afirmar como candidato ao título da BELLATOR.

28-o húngaro Adam “The Kid” Borics, de um ano, venceu 17 de 18 luta para iniciar sua carreira profissional, recuperando de sua única derrota com três vitórias consecutivas. Treino na academia Sanford MMA do sul da Flórida, Borics se estabeleceu firmemente como uma verdadeira ameaça para qualquer pessoa na divisão de 145 libras, onde ele está atualmente em terceiro lugar.

Invicto em suas primeiras oito lutas como profissional, Wilson da Nova Zelândia venceu em grande estilo, acumulando seis finalizações nessas oito vitórias. Após uma vitória por decisão dividida contra Tywan Claxton, Wilson marcou um nocaute violento sobre Sergio DeBari, em seguida, seguiu-se aquela vitória com uma paralisação igualmente violenta com o punho giratório sobre Pedro Carvalho, da SBG, em abril. O lutador Kiwi tentará garantir uma vitória de alto risco sobre o Borics com uma chance pelo título mundial aguardando o vencedor.

BELLATOR MMA 256: Bader vs. Machida 2 Cartão Principal:
#1-Ryan Bader (28-6, 1 NC) derrotado #4-Lyoto Machida (26-11) por decisão unânime (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) derrotado Vanessa Porto (22-8) por decisão unânime (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) derrotou # 8-Jeremy Kennedy (16-3, 1 NC) por decisão unânime (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] torneio. 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-Cat Tables (12-4) derrotado Olivia Parker (4-2) por finalização (armlock) em 2:56 de uma rodada
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) derrotado #3-Yamauchi-se (25-5) por decisão dividida (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, poder, 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.”

BELLATOR KICKBOXING 9 MAIN EVENT REVEALED

LOS ANGELES – Due to an undisclosed injury, James Gallagher’s highly anticipated return to the Bellator cage will be delayed.

Como resultado, the new headliner for Bellator’s third event in Budapest, Hungria sobre Sexta-feira, Abril 6, will feature former world champion Benson Henderson (24-8) in a lightweight matchup against Roger Huerta (24-9-1, 1 NC), who returns to Bellator for the first time since 2010.

Além, Bellator 196 will also feature a flyweight contest pitting Bellator women’s 125-pound kickboxing champion Denise Kielholtz (1-1) contra Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 NC) and a featherweight battle between SBG Ireland’s Brian Moore (10-6) e Giorgio Belsanti (7-6-1).

With marquee victories over Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone (x2), Frankie Edgar (x2), Gilbert Melendez and Jorge Masvidal, Glendale, Ariz.’s “Smooth” Benson Henderson looks to add another name to his already-impressive resume.

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.

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, Hungria sobre Sexta-feira, Abril 6, bringing along a battle of young guns looking to remain undefeated early in their mixed martial arts careers. The pride of Strabane, Irlanda do Norte, 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) assume Lena Ovchynnikova (12-5, 1 NC). Além, 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 Sexta-feira, Abril 6 free on Paramount Network (anteriormente Pico) em 9 p.m. E/8 p.m. CT, enquanto a ação preliminar irá transmitir em Bellator.com e globalmente no Bellator Mobile App. Bellator Kickboxing 9 will air immediately following at 11 p.m. E/10 p.m. CT. ataques adicionais serão anunciados nas próximas semanas.

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 último Junho. 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 Abril 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.

Oficial Bellator Kickboxing 6 Principais Resultados Cartão & Citações:

Karim Ghajji (98-13-1) derrotado Zoltan Laszak (11-3) por decisão dividida (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) derrotado Alexandru Negrea (10-4) por decisão unânime (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 hoje à noite was to show the level of competitor and world class kickboxer that I am and I think I did that. Hats off to Alex, he did a great job. 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. Mas, overall it was a good night, vacation starts now.

Raymond Daniels (13-3) derrotado Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) via KO em 0:36 de três rounds

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) derrotado Irene Martens (20-10-2) por decisão unânime (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Jorina Baars Quote:

“Foi uma boa luta, 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) derrotado Gabriel Varga (13-5) por decisão dividida (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 na segunda-feira to continue training.
