發表評論

 

TEL AVIV, 以色列. (十一月. 10, 2016) – All fighters successfully made weight for Israel’s first major mixed martial arts event “Bellator 164: Koreshkov VS. Lima” which takes place inside of Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, 以色列. The historic event airs FREE on SPIKE 星期五, 十一月 11 在 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT.

 

The stacked main card is headlined by a must-see welterweight world title main event pitting current champion 安德烈Koreshkov (19-1) 針對 道格拉斯·利馬 (27-6). 此外, a pair of featherweight matchups pitting hometown favorite Noad Lahat (9-2) 針對 斯科特·克利夫 (15-5) 和 格奧爾基Karakhanyan (25-6-1) 針對 基里爾Medvedovsky (6-1) will also be featured on the Spike-televised main card. 最後, Ukrainian sensation Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) returns in a female flyweight contest with Karla Benitez (13-9-1).

 

Scott Coker on the groundbreaking Bellator event in Israel: “This event started about 18 months ago when we came over here to say hello to our international partners Annaney Communications and EGO TOTAL. We sat down with them and they said ‘Hey, there are a lot of great martial artists here. Why don’t we go meet with some of the gyms?’ So, we went to some of the gyms across Tel Aviv where they hosted a nice tryout. We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (格雷西) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 多年來, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap. 我真的, really excited to be here in Israel promoting our inaugural event, and we already have a date set for next year. We will be back, and we’d like to make this an annual stop for the company.

PROFESSIONAL DEBUT OF KEVIN ‘BABY SLICE’ FERGUSON JR. ADDED TO PRELIMINARY CARD OF “BELLATOR 165: CHANDLER VS. HENDERSON” AT SAP CENTER IN SAN JOSE

發表評論

 

SANTA MONICA, 加利福尼亞州. (十一月. 7, 2016) – One week ahead of “Bellator 165: 錢德勒VS. 恆基“ 在聖何塞SAP中心, 加利福尼亞州。, Bellator MMA is pleased to announce the highly anticipated professional mixed martial arts debut of Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. will come against Aaron Hamilton in a welterweight bout during the preliminary portion of the card on Nov. 19.

The contest anchors an electric preliminary card and joins a Spike-televised main card that features a lightweight world title main event pitting current champion 邁克爾·錢德勒 (15-3) 針對 本森·亨德森 (24-6). 在當晚的合作主要事件, undefeated British phenom 邁克爾“毒液”頁面 (11-0) and California’s own 岡薩雷斯 (25-13) duke it out in a welterweight thriller and 亞當Piccolot (8-0) 發生在 布蘭登Girtz(14-4) in a lightweight clash. 最後, a light heavyweight showdown pitting Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) 針對 弗朗西斯Carmont (14-4) and female flyweight action pitting Keri Melendez (登場) 針對 Sheila Padilla (2-0) are also set for the main card.

After originally being slated to make his professional debut at both “Bellator 160” 和 “Bellator 162,“ “Baby Slice” will now look to showcase his fine-tuned mixed martial arts repertoire on 十一月. 19. The son of the late, great “Kimbo Slice,” made a splash in the world of MMA during an amateur contest in Chicopee, 馬薩諸塞州, where he delivered a brutal knockout punch just 1:23 進入第一輪. In what is unquestionably one of the most talked-about debuts in promotion history, Slice hopes to parlay his amateur success with a memorable performance on the professional circuit and carry on the legacy that his father let behind. Hailing from Miami, 佛羅里達, the Team Body Shop product now has his eyes set on joining teammate A.J. 麥基 as one of Bellator MMA’s top young prospects.

Hamilton will once again compete in his home state of California, after previous bouts against the likes of Max Griffin. “The Snake” will be making both his Bellator MMA debut and welterweight debut, as the 185-pound slugger attempts to trim down for what is surely the biggest fight of his career. Hamilton last competed in March and hopes to spoil the long-awaited debut of Slice.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED, PHIL DAVIS TAKES HOME BELLATOR MMA TITLE WITH DOMINATING FIVE-ROUND VICTORY

發表評論

 

完整的事件照片此處 / Full Event Highlights Here

 

安卡斯維爾, 康涅狄格州. (十一月. 4, 2016) – It’s a wonderful life for 菲爾·戴維斯 (17-3), who dethroned 利亞姆McGeary (11-1) 在週五 晚 “Bellator 163,” taking home the light heavyweight championship.

As has been the case plenty of times throughout Davis’ illustrious career, his wrestling pedigree was the deciding factor, nullifying the world-class jiu-jitsu of the Renzo Gracie-trained former champion. For nearly 25-minutes, “先生. Wonderful” maintained top pressure on the New York-native, frustrating McGeary and putting him into desperation mode in the fifth and final round. McGeary fought valiantly to both stop and submit the longtime Alliance MMA-product, 但最後, Davis took home the unanimous decision with scorecards of 50-43, 50-45, 50-44.

McGeary, who suffered the first loss of his young career, was humble in defeat, admitting that while Davis was the better man throughout their main event fight, he will be back to reclaim what he feels is rightfully his.

Returning home to Southern California with a new belt in tow, Davis now sets his sights on his pregnant wife, who is due to give birth to his second son 週一.

布倫南病房 & Saad Awad Provide 90 Seconds of Pure Violence

In an absolute barnburner, 布倫南病房 和 你阿瓦德 went toe-to-toe for the 86 seconds they shared the Bellator MMA cage together, doing their best imitation of Rock Em’ Sock Em’ Robots until “愛爾蘭的” caught “刺客” with an uppercut that sent the Palestinian face first into the canvas. With the knockout, Ward moves into sixth place on the all-time list of KO’s under the promotion’s banner, and now sets his sights on a future matchup against the elite at 170-pounds.

Neiman Gracie Tells the MMA World, ‘Gracie Jiu-Jitsu’ is Back

After finding out they would be competing live on SPIKE less than 24 hours before entering the Bellator MMA cage, 奈曼格雷西 (5-0) 作出快速的工作 魯迪熊 (16-15), latching on to an arm bar 4:39 into the opening frame and forcing the tap from “Bad News.” Gracie was able to add to his impressive submission record, which has now been stretched to three victories in three Bellator MMA appearances, including a pair of first-round submissions. The 27-year-old was also able to please 羅伊斯格雷西, who was cornering his bout for the evening.

Javy Ayala Spoils Return of Sergei Kharitonov in 16 秒

In what many people thought would be a triumphant return to the sport of MMA for 謝爾蓋Kharitonov (23-6), Javy阿亞拉 (10-5) spoiled that, sending the Russian heavyweight to the canvas in a heap following an overhand right 16 seconds into the matchup. 憑藉這場勝利, “Eye Candy” immediately inserted himself into further big-time match-ups, namedropping both 鮑比·拉什利 和 馬特·米特里恩 during his post-fight interview. In his last two outings, the Northern California-native has finished his foe in the opening round via stoppage.

發表評論

湯姆, Tony and Rich get back to action this week to discuss upcoming fight cards, including two big MMA events: UFC Fight Night Dos Anjos vs. Ferguson and Bellator 163: McGeary vs. 戴維斯. We preview both events and talk about the matchups. We then move to the boxing schedule where there are multiple belts on the line this week all over the globe. We spend a bit of time discussing the big Manny Pacquiao bout against Jessie Vargas. Is Manny fighting for the right reasons? Does he have enough left in the tank? We’ll know the answer Saturday night. Rich also breaks down his suspicions about vocal UFC fighters trending toward starting some type of powerful fighters union. Could the astronomical selling price of the UFC actually be the main handicap for the new owners? Did putting such a high premium on the UFC unintentionally give griping fighters more incentive to sue the company? Only time will tell.

JOHN TEIXEIRA GETS NEW OPPONENT JUSTIN LAWRENCE WHILE TOP WRESTLING PROSPECT JAROD TRICE MAKES HIS DEBUT AGAINST BRANDON LEE ON STACKED PRELIMINARY CARD

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (十一月 1, 2016) – An undisclosed injury to 帕特·柯倫, who was originally scheduled to fight 約翰·特謝拉(20-1-2), has opened the door for a lightweight main event pitting Patricky鬥犬 (16-8) 針對 德里克場 (17-6) on the second night of a special doubleheader inside WinStar World Casino & 度假村在Thackerville, 確定。, 上 星期六, 十二月 3.

The 30-year-old Brazilian star originally caught the promotion’s attention following an electric start to his professional career, as he earned a victory in seven of his first eight fights. Now a 16-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Freire enters the contest having won six of his last nine bouts, including knockout finishes over division powerhouses 瑞安時裝, 大衛Rickels, and most notably Derek Campos in the pair’s first brawl two years ago. The second round victory over Campos marked only the second time in his career that an opponent was able to finish him via knockout. Freire has already put together a stellar 2016 運動, with wins over Couture and Kevin Souza, as well as a lightweight title shot against 邁克爾·錢德勒. “Pitbull” will look to further cement his feet atop the division’s elite with a strong performance against the equally-tested veteran Campos.

With a professional record of 3-1 在Thackerville, including a KOTC Junior Welterweight Championship in 2012, Campos has clearly claimed WinStar World Casino & Resort his home away from home. Currently riding a recent string of success, Campos will look to add to his current two-fight winning streak and continue his dominance in OK.

 

The 29-year-old Teixeira continues to make a name for himself in Bellator MMA’s featherweight division, as he will make his fourth appearance under the promotion’s direction following three consecutive victories. Similar to his opponent, Teixeira also steps into the cage on a recent string of success, having won seven of his last eight bouts, including a trio of first round knockouts.

After beginning his professional career under the direction of Strikeforce, Lawrence has found a home in Bellator MMA’s formidable featherweight division. “The American Kid” has tallied a pair of highlight-reel knockouts since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion last year, including his most recent victory over 小林勳 在 “Bellator 157: Dynamite 2.” The emphatic finish was the fifth of his young career and fourth by way of knockout. Dating back to 2013, the 26-year-old striker has won five of his last six contests, three of which came by way of knockout. Hailing from Pacific, 密蘇里州, the former UFC competitor will look to keep the ball rolling against another tough opponent in Teixeira.

Needless to say, the 34-year-old Galvao will have tremendous motivation to win, as the division he once championed dominates a stacked main card in Thackerville.
