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

Остави коментар

 

Санта Моника, Калифорнија (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 Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place овој петок на "Bellator 168: Сакара vs.. Белтран," на Декември. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4ЕТ/Португалија.

 

На само 26 години, 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: Joey Davis (1-0), Тајрел Фортун (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) како и Арон Пико 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, Па, 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, Калифорнија., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Џош Koscheck и Крис Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Ноември. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 во првиот круг.

 

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 Алесио Sakara (18-11, 2 Соединетите Американски Држави), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 Соединетите Американски Држави) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, Вклучувајќи Џон Салтер (12-3), Јамаучи до (31-9) и Филип Lins(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Дениз Киелхолц (45-3) и Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Kickboxing: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 Соединетите Американски Држави) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Џо Шилинг (19-9) против Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) со Карим Гајџи (96-13-1), и Kevin Ross(31-9) ќе се сретне Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) во лесен борба. "Bellator Kickboxing: Florence” airs Петок, Декември. 16 на 11:15 ЕТ, immediately following "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

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

Остави коментар

 

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

Санта Моника, Калифорнија (Декември 5, 2016) – Injuries to both Paul Redmond и Bruna Ellen have led to new opponents for Даниел Weichel (37-9) и Helen Harper (4-1) на Декември 16. Weichel will now face Ireland native Brian Moore (9-4) во перолесна рунда, while Harper will be challenged by Bruna Vargas (2-1) in a flyweight fight at 3Arena in Dublin, Ирска. Конечно, a bantamweight bout pitting Shay Walsh (14-4) против 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 Соединетите Американски Држави) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Сатоши Ишии (14-6-1). Во прилог, Ентони Тејлор (1-1) will look to quiet the crowd as he enters enemy territory to challenge Northern Ireland’s James Gallagher (4-0) во судир во перолесна категорија.

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 вечер. И/8 вечер. КТ.

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 Соединетите Американски Држави) и Alan Philpott(16-8) prepare to duke it out for division gold.

Fighting out of Lancaster, Англија, 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.” Of his 14 career wins, 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, Бразил, 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, Ирска, “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, Бразил, the Team Nogueira prospect hopes to redeem herself with a promising performance against another stiff opponent in Harper.

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.

Nicknamed “The Japanese Mouseketeer,” the 34-year-old French-Japanese competitor has finished Џо 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 Мелвин Manhoef во 2015. Сега, Kato sets his sights on Gracie, looking to nullify the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of his Jan. 21 непријател.

П: For Benson…Is there any extra motivation to prove yourself in this fight after the way the last fight ended?

Бенсон Хендерсон: I would say that there’s not a whole lot of extra motivation this fight. I’m a pretty highly self-motivated individual. I want to win all of my fights. I don’t need any extra incentives. I want to have my hand raised in every single fight.

П: This is your second title fight in Bellator. Is there anything you learned from the first go-around that you’re bringing into this fight?

Бенсон Хендерсон: I don’t know if there’s anything that I learned from the last title fight, just being more comfortable inside the Bellator cage and getting used to the walkout and finding my rhythm.

П: You’re fighting for the title now. Do you think of yourself as a lightweight? Is this where you intend to stay or is another trip to welterweight a possibility in the future?

Бенсон Хендерсон: I wouldn’t say that I think of myself as a lightweight necessarily. За мене, тоа е 155 фунти. или 170 lbs., just wherever the more interesting and fun matchups are. Но,, first things first, I have to take care of business во саботата ноќ.

П: You mentioned fun and interesting fights. Is the title something you think about as well? The story line of the week is a two-division champion in the other promotion. Is that a dream that you have for yourself in your career or do you just want to stay and be the most dominate lightweight champion that you can be?

Бенсон Хендерсон: I’m going to go get this belt at 155 lbs., but after that I wouldn’t say that belts offer a whole lot of extra incentive. Obviously belts are great and the meaning behind the belt is that you are the best in the planet and that means a lot to say that you are the best at that weight class, but I don’t fight necessarily just for the belt. You do want the belt, but right now all I’m concentrating on is four days from now and a man named Michael Chandler.

П: For Michael…Have you ever thought about trying for another belt? I know it’s early in your title reign, but has that ever crossed your mind? И, if you did go for another belt, would it be for welterweight or featherweight?

Мајкл Чендлер: I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. За мене, I’m just looking for the biggest fight I can get. I know there’s no way I could make 145 lbs., since I walk around at about 190 lbs., between fights. Значи, I’m not interested in losing the muscle mass that I’ve worked so hard to build. Ако ништо друго, I would jump up to 170 lbs., but right now I’m focused on my fight оваа сабота night and I’m excited to get out there and perform.

П: Why is Henderson an important opponent for your career?

Мајкл Чендлер: Every opponent is important. Every single time we fight, we’re putting ourselves, our livelihood, our records, and our reputation on the line. It just so happens for me, I get an opportunity to fight a guy who’s been a champion and has done some great things in the sport. But luckily, it’s the right time for me and the wrong time for him. I’m extremely excited to go out there and make a statement with this fight во саботата ноќ. He’s definitely a great, willing opponent, but I’m excited to go out there and get the finish.

П: For MVP…Obviously, it’s been a fantastic year for you in Bellator, especially your performance in London. Have you got your finger on the pulse of pop culture right now and is there something out there that you’re drawing inspiration from that you’re looking to utilize in some entertainment factor on fight night?

MVP: Да, I’m always socially aware, but I have to get the job done first and that’s the most important thing.

П: At the moment, fighting at multiple weight classes and fighting in multiple divisions seems to be the rage right now and I know in the past you’ve mentioned the possibility of dropping down to 155 lbs., is that something that you’re still interested in?

MVP: At the moment, не. Во моментов, I’m just focused on fighting in the welterweight division.

П: If you can record a win over Fernando Gonzalez, how many more fights and how many more wins do you think before you are in that title picture and fighting for a title shot?

MVP: That’s not really my main concern. I just go out there and entertain and I’ll keep doing that until I end up in the position I’m supposed to be in.

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

Мајкл Чендлер: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. Назад во денот, 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 во саботата 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, во живо и бесплатно.

П: 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 Гонзалез: 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. Значи, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.

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

Фернандо Гонзалез: 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. Тој е тешко, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.

П: Michael do you have a response to that?

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

П: 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?

Бенсон Хендерсон: 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 мене, 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.
