TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

 

Санта Моника, CALIF (Декември. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, И Рут (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Емануеле Паломби (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place този петък при "Bellator 168: Сакара срещу. Белтран," на Декември. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4ч ET/PT.

 

На само 26 възраст, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Джоуи Дейвис (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Джарод Трис (1-0) както и Aaron Pico и Ромеро Памук – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Калифорния., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck и Chris Хъникът, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Ноември. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 в първия кръг.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event.

PAIR OF INJURIES MAKE WAY FOR BRUNA VARGAS AND BRIAN MOORE ON MAIN CARD OF ‘BELLATOR 169’ INSIDE 3ARENA IN DUBLIN

 

BANTAMWEIGHT FEATURE FIGHT PITTING SHAY WALSH AGAINST LUIZ TOSTA ALSO ADDED TO MAIN CARD ON Декември. 16

Санта Моника, CALIF (Декември 5, 2016) – Injuries to both Paul Redmond и Браун Елън have led to new opponents for Daniel Weichel (37-9) и Хелън Харпър (4-1) на Декември 16. Weichel will now face Ireland native Брайън Мур (9-4) в категория перо мач, while Harper will be challenged by Bruna Vargas (2-1) in a flyweight fight at 3Arena in Dublin, Ирландия. Накрая, a bantamweight bout pitting Shay Walsh (14-4) срещу Luiz Tosta (9-2) puts a stamp on the main card of "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

The Spike-televised main card will be highlighted by a heavyweight main event pitting “King Mo” (19-5, 1 NC) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1). В допълнение, Антъни Тейлър (1-1) will look to quiet the crowd as he enters enemy territory to challenge Northern Ireland’s Джеймс Галахър (4-0) в сблъсък в полутежка категория.

Билети за "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii” are on sale now and start at 35€ at Bellator.com, Ticketmaster.ie and the 3Arena Box Office. The event can be seen free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. И/8 p.m. CT.

In addition to a full card of Bellator action, ticket holders will also have the unique opportunity to experience an additional fight card from Europe’s leading mixed martial arts promotion, BAMMA. The bantamweight belt will be on the line at “BAMMA 27,” as Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) и Alan Philpott(16-8) prepare to duke it out for division gold.

Fighting out of Lancaster, Англия, Walsh will be making his Bellator MMA debut and against the savvy veteran Tosta. Dating back to 2014, Walsh has accrued four victories over his past five contests, including a brutal knockout of Gaz Pilot at “BAMMA 21: DeVent vs. Kone.” От неговите 14 кариерата печели, nine have come by way of knockout or submission, making it easy to picture another explosive attack out of the gates by Walsh. After competing in the 145-pound division for the first 15 fights of his professional career, Walsh made the move down to the bantamweight division, where he has strung together wins in two of his first three appearances.

The 36-year-old Tosta enters the bout riding a recent string of success that includes victories in seven of his last eight contests with one draw. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Бразилия, Tosta will be making his second appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, after recording the aforementioned draw in his promotional debut earlier this year at “Bellator 158.” With each of his nine career victories coming by way of submission, seven of which occurred in the first round, it’s clear that Tosta will once again look for the early takedown and finish his opponent.

Filling in for the injured Redmond is Brian Moore, as he enters the cage riding a current two-fight winning streak and a blossoming career that is ready to take off. The 29-year-old Moore has won five of his last seven contests, including a trio of first round victories, highlighted by a vicious knockout that came just 2:30 into his bout earlier in the year. Of his nine career wins, Moore has finished seven of his victims, making him a tall task for the wily veteran Weichel. A native of Wexford, Ирландия, “The Pikeman” will not have to travel far for his upcoming showdown with one of Bellator MMA’s most proven veterans, as “The Weasel” will enter hostile territory for this face-off.

Replacing Ellen is the always dangerous Bruna Vargas, who will square off with Harper in search of her first win under the direction of Bellator MMA. The 27-year-old Vargas has recorded two wins over three contests, since making her professional debut in 2013. Hailing from Porto Alegre, Бразилия, the Team Nogueira prospect hopes to redeem herself with a promising performance against another stiff opponent in Harper.

Of his five career wins, four have come by way of submission, with each of the four finishes occurring in the opening round of action. Prior to making his professional debut in 2014, the submission specialist had similar success on the amateur circuit, where he collected four submission victories over a five-fight span. Fighting out of Urbandale, Iowa, the 6’4’’ Young will also hold a significant height advantage over the 5’11’’ Harris as he prepares to challenge one of the most aggressive opponents of his career.

Санта Моника, CALIF (Ноември 22, 2016) – The second main card fight announced for "Bellator 170: Ортис срещу. Sonnen ” at The Forum on Януари 21, 2017 features the Bellator MMA debut of Los Angeleno Ралек Грейси (3-0), who will meet Hisaki Kato (7-2) в среднотежка мач.

Събитието ще бъде излъчено на живо и безплатно на SPIKE в 9 p.m. И/8 p.m. CT, докато предварителните действия ще се излъчват в Bellator.com и мобилното приложение Bellator.

На само 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now. Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

 

Since joining the Bellator MMA roster, you would be hard-pressed to find a fighter who has been involved in more exciting matchups than Hisaki Kato. Nicknamed “The Japanese Mouseketeer,” the 34-year-old French-Japanese competitor has finished Джо Шилинг on two separate occasions, and was involved in what many called a “Round of the Year” candidate during his lone Bellator MMA loss against Melvin Manhoef в 2015. Сега, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 враг.

Q: За Бенсън ... Има ли някаква допълнителна мотивация да се докажете в тази битка след начина, по който приключи последната битка?

Benson Henderson: Бих казал, че няма много допълнителна мотивация в тази битка. Аз съм доста силно мотивиран човек. Искам да спечеля всичките си битки. Не се нуждая от допълнителни стимули. Искам да имам вдигната ръка във всяка една битка.

Q: Това е вашата втора битка за титлата в Bellator. Има ли нещо, което научихте от първата обиколка, която въвеждате в тази битка?

Benson Henderson: Не знам дали има нещо, което научих от последната битка за титлата, просто да се чувствам по -удобно в клетката на Bellator и да свикна с разходката и да намеря моя ритъм.

Q: Сега се борите за титлата. Мислите ли за себе си като за лек? Тук ли възнамерявате да отседнете или е възможно друго пътуване до средна категория в бъдеще?

Benson Henderson: Не бих казал, че смятам себе си за лек непременно. За мен, е 155 паунда. или 170 паунда., където и да са по -интересните и забавни мачове. Но, Първо най-важното, Трябва да се грижа за бизнеса в събота нощ.

Q: Споменахте забавни и интересни битки. Заглавието е нещо, за което мислите? Историята на седмицата е шампион в две дивизии в другата промоция. Това мечта ли си за себе си в кариерата си или просто искаш да останеш и да бъдеш най -доминиращият шампион в лека категория, който можеш да бъдеш?

Benson Henderson: Отивам да си взема този колан 155 паунда., но след това не бих казал, че коланите предлагат много допълнителни стимули. Очевидно коланите са страхотни и смисълът зад колана е, че си най -добрият на планетата и това означава много да кажеш, че си най -добрият в тази тежест, но не се боря непременно само за колана. Искаш колана, но в момента всичко, върху което се концентрирам, е четири дни от сега и човек на име Майкъл Чандлър.

Q: За Майкъл ... Мислили ли сте някога да опитате друг колан? Знам, че е в началото на титлата ти, но минало ли ви е това през ума? И, ако все пак сте отишли ​​за друг колан, ще бъде ли за полусредна категория или полупечка?

Michael Chandler: Не съм се замислял много за това. За мен, Просто търся най -големия бой, който мога да получа. Знам, че няма как да направя 145 паунда., откакто обикалям около 190 паунда., между битките. Така, Не се интересувам от загуба на мускулна маса, за която съм работил толкова усилено. Ако нещо, Бих скочил до 170 паунда., но в момента съм съсредоточен върху битката си тази събота вечер и съм развълнуван да изляза и да изпълня.

Q: Защо Хендерсън е важен противник за вашата кариера?

Michael Chandler: Всеки противник е важен. Всеки път, когато се бием, поставяме се, препитанието ни, нашите записи, и нашата репутация на линия. При мен така се случва, Имам възможност да се бия с човек, който е бил шампион и е направил някои страхотни неща в спорта. Но за щастие, това е подходящото време за мен и грешното време за него. Изключително съм развълнуван да отида там и да направя изявление с тази битка в събота нощ. Той определено е страхотен, желаещ противник, но съм развълнуван да отида там и да завърша.

Q: За MVP ... Очевидно, това беше фантастична година за вас в Bellator, особено вашето представяне в Лондон. Имате ли пръст върху пулса на поп културата в момента и има ли нещо, от което черпите вдъхновение, което искате да използвате в някакъв развлекателен фактор в бойната нощ?

MVP: Да, Винаги съм социално осведомен, но първо трябва да свърша работата и това е най -важното.

Q: В момента, битките в различни класове на тегло и битките в множество дивизии изглеждат ярост в момента и знам, че в миналото споменахте възможността да се понижите до 155 паунда., това ли е нещо, което все още ви интересува?

MVP: В момента, не. Точно сега, Фокусиран съм само върху битките в полусредна категория.

Q: Ако можете да запишете победа над Фернандо Гонсалес, колко още битки и колко още победи мислите, преди да сте в тази снимка на заглавието и да се борите за титлата?

MVP: Това всъщност не е основната ми грижа. Просто излизам там и се забавлявам и ще продължа да го правя, докато не се окажа в позицията, в която би трябвало да съм.

Q: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?

Michael Chandler: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. Едно време, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage в събота night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, на живо и безплатно.

Q: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?

Фернандо Гонзалес: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. Така, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.

Q: With Michael (Страница) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?

Фернандо Гонзалес: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. Той е труден, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.

Q: Michael do you have a response to that?

MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.

Q: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?

Benson Henderson: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. За мен, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. Но, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.
