THE ‘RED KING’ RORY MACDONALD LOOKS TO CLAIM HIS BELLATOR MMA THRONE – SIGNING EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE VIACOM-OWNED PROMOTION

發表評論

 

阿納海姆, 加利福尼亞州. (八月 26, 2016) – Bellator MMA is elated to formally announce the signing of mixed martial arts superstar 羅裡·麥克唐納 到異, multi-year, multi-fight contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion, making “Red King” the latest in a long line of blockbuster acquisitions for Bellator MMA.

The former No. 1 contender to the UFC welterweight crown is undoubtedly one of the premiere free agent signings in the history of the promotion. The “Red King” has totaled nine career victories under the UFC banner, including wins over current welterweight champion Tyron Woodley, in addition to B.J. Penn and Nate Diaz.

“There’s no denying that Rory MacDonald was the cream of the crop when it comes to free agents in MMA,“Bellator總裁Scott Coker的說. “As I say all the time, if there is a free agent out there, we’re going to talk to them, if they fit our model we’re going to make a hard push to bring them over here. I’m very happy that we were able to work out a deal with Rory, and I can’t wait to see him bring his menacing style to the Bellator cage.”

MacDonald is clearly the most popular active Canadian mixed martial artist since the former UFC welterweight Champion and teammate Georges St. 皮埃爾, whom MacDonald has trained under for years at the world renowned TriStar Gym in Montreal.

“There are multiple reasons why I choose to fight for Bellator MMA and Scott Coker,” Rory MacDonald said. “One, they have given me the opportunity to develop and grow a business together. Two, because I already feel respected by the promotion as a professional athlete. And last but not least, because Bellator is offering a setup that no-one in the world can offer me.”

At only 27-years-old, MacDonald joins the fray with an impressive professional record of 18-4 and enters a stacked welterweight division of fighters already signed with Bellator, that currently has a world-class champion in 安德烈Koreshkov.

THIRD TIMES A CHARM – MICHAEL PAGE BOOKED TO FIGHT FERNANDO GONZALEZ ON SATURDAY, 十一月 19 AT SAP CENTER IN SAN JOSE, CALIF.

發表評論

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (八月 26, 2016) – After originally being slated to compete against one another at “Bellator 151” 和 “Bellator 158,” 邁克爾“毒液”頁面 (11-0) has once again been booked to fight 岡薩雷斯 (25-13), this time on 十一月 19 at SAP Center in Bellator MMA’s stomping grounds of San Jose, 加利福尼亞州.

 

The card will mark the second time this year that Bellator MMA has taken its show to the beautiful SAP Center, which is home to the NHL’s San Jose Sharks. The welterweight pairing makes up one fight of the event’s main card, which will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.

 

Tickets for this stacked MMA card go on sale 星期五, 九月 2 在Bellator.com, as well as SAP Center Box Office and Ticketmaster. Bellator Nation presale offer will take place 八月 31 和九月 1.

 

頁面, a highlight reel king before and after the bell rings, was at it again earlier this year, when Bellator MMA invaded the United Kingdom at “Bellator 158: London.” During his bout, “MVP” took care of business the only way he knows how, with an early stoppage and unforgettable celebration that was heard and seen around the world. Page’s impressive flying knee knockout 的 傑利斯塔“機器俠”桑托斯 was his ninth stoppage in the opening frame. 現在, the seven-fight Bellator MMA veteran looks to put to rest the opinion that he cannot defeat the always game “Menifee Maniac.”

 

Gonzalez enters the cage currently riding a string of five consecutive victories, all of which have come under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 32-year-old Menifee, 加利福尼亞州。, native has been competing professionally since 2003, 同 25 wins under his belt, 含 16 of the KO/submission variety. After a brief pause from MMA action to challenge 保羅“Semtex型爆炸物”戴利 in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking “Bellator MMA: 炸藥1“ event in 2015, Gonzalez returned to the sport of MMA, where he recently defeated 吉爾伯特·史密斯 in a split decision win at“Bellator 151: 沃倫VS. Caldwell.” The win improves his overall record under the Bellator MMA banner to 5-0 and now puts him in a position to officially proclaim himself as the only man to beat “Venom,” and further his case for a 170-pound title shot.

CODY WALKER STEPS UP ON SHORT NOTICE TO CHALLENGE UNDEFEATED A.J. MCKEE, WHILE GEORGI KARAKHANYAN-BUBBA JENKINS MOVED TO SPIKE-TELEVISED CARD

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (八月 16, 2016) – Just nine days before the highly anticipated “Bellator 160: 亨德森VS. Pitbull” 活動上 八月 26 at Honda Center in Anaheim, 加利福尼亞州。, injuries sustained by main card fighters 亨利·科拉萊斯 和 Lena Ovchynnikova have shaken things up a bit. 不敗輕量級 A.J. 麥基 (4-0) 現在將面臨 Cody Walker (7-2), 而 布巴·詹金斯 (11-2) 和 格奧爾基Karakhanyan (24-6-1) find themselves in a featherweight feature fight during the SPIKE-televised main card.

The fights join a main card that spotlights a super fight at 155-pounds between 本森·亨德森 (23-6) 和 帕特里西奧“鬥犬” (25-3), as the two will duke it out for a shot at Michael Chandler’s championship belt. 此外, an explosive lightweight contest pitting 你阿瓦德 (19-7) 針對 德里克·安德森 (13-2) will serve as the evening’s co-main event.

In preliminary action, welterweights的 Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr. 和 Joey Davis will make their professional debuts, 而 Chinzo Machida (3-2) will compete for the first time under the Bellator MMA banner.

Tickets for the event start at $30 and can be purchased now on Ticketmaster and at Honda Center Box Office. 門開處 4:45 P.M. PT local time and the first preliminary bout – which streams live on Bellator.com 和 該Bellator移動應用 — 在開始 5:00 P.M. PT.

After beginning his career 7-1 作為一個業餘, the 21-year-old “Mercenary” has made a splash on the professional circuit, recording a perfect 4-0 mark through his first four bouts. McKee has fought under the Bellator MMA banner ever since he made his professional debut in 2015, finishing all of his contests in the opening frame, including three knockouts and a rear-naked choke submission. McKee’s most recent victory came at the expense of Italian Danilo Belluardo during the mixed martial arts portion of Bellator MMA’s first-ever event overseas, “Bellator 152: Freire vs. Souza.” The Long Beach, 加利福尼亞州. native will now take his flashy personality to the Honda Center, where he will have the chance to put his unique skill set on full display in front of his hometown fans.

Agreeing to take a professional mixed martial arts contest on short notice is no easy task, doing so against an undefeated fighter the caliber of McKee is even more daunting. But that’s exactly the scenario Walker finds himself in now ahead of next Friday’s 事件. A two-time competitor for Bellator, “The Crow” will look to move above .500 within the promotion when he enters the cage at Honda Center. The 28-year-old Texan has ended all seven of his professional victories via TKO or KO, including four in the first round.

A longtime veteran of Bellator MMA, Karakhanyan will look to get back on track after dropping two closely contested decision losses against Jenkins, who he handily defeated nearly two years ago via guillotine submission. Known to many mixed martial arts fans as “Insane,” the 31-year-old has finished 18 他 24 贏得作為一個專業, earning himself multiple titles in regional promotions along the way. Following multiple setbacks to his knee, the Russian fighter is finally healthy and now looks to climb the 145-pound ladder in a competitive division that he once sat atop as the No. 1 競爭者.

Just a few years ago, Bubba Jenkins was widely regarded as the top MMA prospect in all of the sport, though the title became tainted following the aforementioned loss to Karakhanyan at “Bellator 132.” The former NCAA National Champion wrestler with Arizona State University now has three consecutive wins under his belt, and is looking for redemption. Heading into his 11th fight under the Scot Coker-led promotion, the 28-year-old “Highlight Kid” looks to put on a standout performance in Bellator’s incredibly deep featherweight division. Tune in 八月 26 to see if the Corona, 加利福尼亞州。, native can return the favor and finish Karakhanyan in front of his local supporters.
