LOS ANGELES – A previously announced BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Championship bout between 瓦迪姆Nemkov (14-2) 和 安東尼“隆隆聲”約翰遜 has been cancelled following the news that “Rumble” has been forced to withdraw from the bout due to an undisclosed illness.

BELLATOR MMA Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Resumes With Semifinals at Footprint Center in Phoenix October 16

發表評論

Light Heavyweight World Champion Vadim Nemkov Set To Defend Title Against ‘Rumble’ Johnson, While Ryan Bader Goes Toe-To-Toe With Corey Anderson Live on SHOWTIME®在 10 P.M. ET /下午7時. PT

BELLATOR 加入了幾場偉大的戰鬥

LOS ANGELES– BELLATOR MMA’s massive second half of 2021 keeps rolling on Saturday, 十月 16, when both of the high-profile semifinal matchups for the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix take place at the Footprint Center, home of the Phoenix Suns and Phoenix Mercury. Light heavyweight kingpin瓦迪姆Nemkov (14-2) defends his world championship against No. 4 排名安東尼 “Rumble” Johnson (23-6), while current BELLATOR Heavyweight World Champion瑞安貝德 (28-6) facesNo. 2-ranked light heavyweight科里·安德森 (15-5) 在合作的主要事件.

BELLATOR MMA: Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Semifinals will be televised live on SHOWTIME at10 P.M. ET /下午7時. PT. The preliminary fights will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, 在安卡斯維爾的 Mohegan Sun Arena 內的共同特色比賽中 7 P.M. ET / 4時三十分. PT. Additional bouts and ticket information will be announced at a later date.

Team Fedor’s Vadim Nemkov looks to remain BELLATOR 205-pound champion on September 25, further cementing his status as the best light heavyweight fighter on the planet. 在他的最後一次郊遊, Nemkov went five hard rounds with former champion菲爾·戴維斯, earning a unanimous decision victory en route to punching his ticket to the semifinals. Should Nemkov defend his belt again and move on to the grand prix final, between Davis—a wrestler by trade—and the power-punching “Rumble,” Nemkov will have showcased his full repertoire as a mixed martial artist in the tournament. Nemkov has been perfect in BELLATOR to this point, winning all six of his contests including three knockouts and a submission.

“Rumble” Johnsonmade his BELLATOR MMA debut in the opening round of the grand prix, engaging in a back-and-forth affair with Jose Augusto before notching another signature “Rumble” knockout in the second round. 憑藉這場勝利, the 37-year-old made it clear his time away from the sport has not slowed him down, and with wins over the likes of Glover Teixeira, 亞歷山大·古斯塔夫松, Phil Davis and current BELLATOR heavyweight champion Ryan Bader, “Rumble” remains one of the most imposing forces in the entire sport.

A winner in eight of his last ten bouts, Arizona State University’s “Darth” Bader will have a home game as he looks to keep the ball rolling when he steps into the BELLATOR cage for the ninth time, on the road to re-capturing the 205-pound belt he once held. Bader—despite his participation in the Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix—remains the BELLATOR Heavyweight Champion, a title he plans on unifying with the interim-champValentin Moldavksy following the conclusion of the 205-pound tournament. Bader’s storied career has earned him the moniker of a legend slayer, with wins over all-time greats like費多爾艾米連科, 安東尼奧·羅熱諾蓋拉, 拉沙德·埃文斯（Rashad Evans）, and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson.

Corey Anderson has made an excellent impression since his arrival in BELLATOR, reeling off two dominant victories over the likes of veteran梅爾文Manhoefand former ACA ChampionDovletdzhan Yagshimuradov, both ending via TKO. The Rockton, 生病. product came to the promotion boasting an already impressive resumé, previously triumphing over Johnny Walker, Glover Teixeira and Jan Błachowicz amongst others. Anderson’s fight with Bader, his third under the BELLATOR banner, will be his first with the promotion while fans are in attendance.

UFC搏擊之夜: The Swedish Are Coming!

發表評論

圖片來源: Esther Lin/MMA Fighting
圖片來源: Esther Lin/MMA Fighting

In a land once popularized in a Tom Green (remember him?) 歌曲 – “Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings a Fight Night card that will hopefully bring more attention than a song about a Canadian’s ass.

The first FOX card of the new year, UFC搏擊之夜: 瑞典, brings the national stage of FOX overseas and gives America a glimpse into the UFC’s ongoing overseas expansion. But unlike previous UFC overseas cards, this one is not short on star power. Let’s see if a clear-cut no. 1 contender for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title will emerge.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) VS. 山姆西西里 (13-5) (Featherweight – 145 磅。)

This is a matchup of The Ultimate Fighter alumni, with both guys coming off losses and Corassani coming off back-to-back losses to Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. Corassani’s also been finished early in both fights, while Sicilia is coming off a submission loss. In a crowded featherweight division, a knockout or submission victory would go a long way toward boosting either of these gentlemen’s stock. I like Sicilia to finish Corassani and possibly give him his walking papers after three straight losses.

優勝者: Sicilia by second-round TKO

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) VS. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 磅。)

Both of these guys are poised for another run at the top of the light heavyweight division. Both of these guys are coming off victories and actually faced each other in college when Davis wrestled for Penn State and Bader wrestled for Arizona State. Davis uses his wrestling to smother opponents and grind out unanimous decision victories, while Bader uses his wrestling when necessary but also has lethal knockout power.

I expect Davis to try and get this fight to the ground early, and if he succeeds I think he can use his reach advantage and athleticism to keep Bader down. Bader must keep this fight standing to have a chance, and I think he will avoid the temptation to avenge his college loss to Davis by engaging in another wrestling match. I like Bader to land more shots and score an upset victory.

優勝者: Bader by unanimous decision

Dan “Hendo” Henderson (30-12) VS. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Middleweight – 185 磅。)

Henderson returns to middleweight after a mostly ill-fated run at light heavyweight, including being tossed around like a rag doll and submitted by Daniel Cormier in his last fight. Simply put, if Henderson can’t land his patented “H-Bomb” right hand for a knockout, he’s easily susceptible to defeat.

I think the wars of years past are finally catching up to Henderson. He will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever not to hold a UFC title, but he simply can’t keep up with the sport’s elite any more. He will leave himself open when wanting to drop the H-Bomb, and Mousasi will take advantage.

優勝者: Mousasi by third-round submission

Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) VS. 安東尼“隆隆聲”約翰遜 (18-4) (Light Heavyweight – 205 磅。)

The winner of this fight will receive the next shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and it would represent a rematch for Gustafsson. He took Jones closer to defeat than anyone else has during their epic 2013 配對. Depending on who ask, some people think the Swede actually won that fight.

Johnson is rapidly ascending the 205-pound ladder after knocking out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and scoring an upset win over Phil Davis to begin his climb. Johnson also has devastating knockout power and if he lands one such shot on Gustafsson, the Swede’s road to redemption is derailed. But I think Gustafsson uses his reach advantage (which is nearly identical to Jones) to keep Johnson at bay and make Johnson go a full five rounds.

Gustafsson’s striking in the 205-pound division is second to none, and I like him to land enough of those to secure a rematch with Jones later this year.

優勝者: Gustafsson by unanimous decision
