Scott Coker

“We’re excited to be in Boise, fighting at the Century Link Arena. I think this is a fight town that has been hungry for a big MMA promotion and we’re proud to be the first to do it. We’ve got a great middleweight world title fight between Carvalho and Manhoef… Carvalho is coming off of a big win with a KO over Brandon Halsey and undoubtedly this fight is going to have a bunch of fireworks between both of these guys.”

 

On the fight between Curran and Karakhanyan…

“I definitely think that this fight has some title implications but we always like to see how the fight pans out…honestly if this is something that’s exciting and a barn burner and if this fight can stand on its own feet, it very well could be.”

 

On if a Bellator bonus structure is going to come to fruition in the future…

“It is something we’re working on but we’re just a little bit different, because we’re a premium TV model so it’s something that has been considered, but right now it’s something that is still just in dialogue.”

Rafael Carvalho

“I am excited and really think this could be historical. It’s going to be a lot of strikes and it’s going to be a kickboxing fight with MMA gloves.”

 

“Every fight you’ve got to show what you got. In this fight, it’s going to be no different [now that I’m a champ]. I’m going to show everything I’ve got and I am always looking forward to the next fight.

“People recognize me more now and I have gained more respect now as the champion…Winning the belt for the first time is one thing, but the real deal is when you defend the belt and keep the belt. That’s when you become the real champion.

 

On overcoming challenges of living in Rio…

“There are good people as well as bad but the only thing that is going to dictate your future is you and how hard you work for it. It doesn’t matter where you live or what kind of clothing you wear, if you put your mind into it and are willing to work hard for it.

 

Melvin Manhoef

“I look forward to making a kickboxing with small gloves. I am prepared for anything so it doesn’t matter what’s going to happen. I am looking forward to being there and doing what I do best, which is the striking, so for me it’s very nice that he wants to do the kickboxing in the cage with me.

 

Do you feel like people are counting you out heading into this fight?

“I don’t know what people are thinking but it all depends on what me and my team think and the fans who are supporting me think. I feel like the fight is still in me and I showed it at my last fight. I trained real hard for this fight and my goal is to show it again that you cannot count me out… You know my fight style; I do everything to knock people out so I am glad if [Carvalho] wants to make a kick boxing fight out of it.”

 

What would winning the Bellator title mean to you?

“It means a lot, with all of the hard work and a lot of people writing me off, but I think this is like a new era or new beginning for me and I could become a world champion. I think that being a fighter that’s been in the business so long, it has been an achievement already.”

Pat Curran

“I am really excited to step in there am Freitag and put on a dominant performance. I have made a lot of changes in my life, in my camp and everything is falling into place right now and I’m excited to showcase that am Freitag."

 

Do the stakes of this fight change for you as they would for a title?

“I feel like every fight at this point in your career, especially in this division is do-or-die and if you win you’re going to get that much pull-through coming or having the chance to fight for the title again and I feel like over and over George and I have been that much closer to another title shot.”

 

Georgi Karakhanyan

“I can’t wait for Freitag Nacht. I am going out there with nothing to lose, just going 100 percent and fighting my fight and come out with a victory.”

 

On this being a potential title eliminator and going up against two-time champ Curran…

“I know everybody is talking about the title but to me I don’t think about that, right now I have a good opponent in front of me with Pat Curran, a former champion and I can’t ask for a better opponent than him. I am very excited, I cannot wait and I am ready to put on a great show and I’m for sure coming out with my hands right.”

 

On coming back from surgery and making adjustments…

“I treat everything the same, I got about five surgeries last year and the last surgery was just a meniscus tear but after that, Bellator took good care of me. They put me in a very good rehab place and I’ve started my training and feel 100 Prozent. "

Mit 6: 6 hat der hoch aufragende Kämpfer mit seinen beeindruckenden Fähigkeiten weltweite Bekanntheit erlangt, Das hat ihn dazu gebracht, Kämpfe mit beeindruckender Knockout-Kraft und Jiu-Jitsu-Können zu beenden. Derzeit ungeschlagen bei 11-0, die Zukunft ist hell für die Bellator Fighting Championships Meister. Zuletzt, McGeary besiegte Tito Ortiz im Hauptereignis des Spatenstichs “Bellator Fighting Championships: Dynamite 1.”

 

Der Name Gracie ist ein Synonym für MMA, und das ist weitgehend zum Teil Royce Gracie, der Mann, der in Betracht gezogen wird, um den Sport erfunden haben, wie wir sie heute kennen. Der Gewinner der ersten mehr UFC Veranstaltungen, Gracie würde mehrere Gegner in einer einzigen Nacht zu demontieren, viele davon waren viel größer als er. Seit vielen Jahren gab es keine Antwort für die Gracie Jiu Jitsu-Technik, die er in einen Kampf gebracht. Heute, es ist schwer, eine MMA-Kämpfer, die nicht in der Kunst des Jiu Jitsu trainiert hat zu finden. Zuletzt, Gracie besiegte Ken Shamrock im Hauptereignis des rekordverdächtigen „Bellator 149“.

Einer der bekanntesten MMA-Kämpfer aller Zeiten, Die Hall of Famer Randy Couture hat sich nach seiner Karriere als Kämpfer gut in die Unterhaltungswelt verwandelt, Darsteller in mehreren Fernsehshows und Filmen, vor allem das Expendables-Franchise und Dancing with the Stars. Im Käfig, Couture war ein furchtloser Außenseiter, oft Männer mit großen Größenvorteilen besiegen. "The Natural" war ein mehrfacher Schwergewichts- und mehrmaliger Halbschwergewichts-Champion in der UFC.

Beim Anschauen eines Kampfsportereignisses, Es ist seltsam, nicht zu sehen Jacob "Stitch" Duran als der professionelle Cutman im Dienst. Kürzlich, Bellator MMA war erfreut, auf absehbare Zeit ausschließlich seine Dienste als Cutman zu sichern, nachdem „Stitch“ einen Mehrjahresvertrag mit der von Scott Coker geleiteten Promotion unterschrieben hatte. "Stitch" ist überall dort zu sehen, wo Kampfsportveranstaltungen stattfinden, und spielte eine wichtige Rolle im jüngsten Smash-Blockbuster, "Glaubensbekenntnis."

Wenn eine Legende anwesend ist, die ein oder zwei Dinge über Kickboxen und MMA weiß, es ist Cung Le. Geboren in Vietnam, Le kämpfte 17 Mal rund um den Globus und nie verloren, bevor der Sprung vom Kickboxen zur MMA geschafft wurde, wo er die Strikeforce-Meisterschaft im Mittelgewicht gewann. Von dort, der San Jose, Calif. - Kämpfer würde seine Anerkennung über die Welt des Kampfsports hinaus weiter ausbauen, Hauptrolle in mehreren Spielfilmen. Le blieb bis in seine 40er Jahre wettbewerbsfähig, Rich Franklin in dem zu beenden, was einstimmig als das angesehen wurde 2012 Knockout des Jahres.

 

Eine Legende im Schwergewicht, Mark Coleman war die UFC 10 und UFC 11 Turniersieger, der erste Schwergewichts-Champion der Promotion, und die Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Open Weight Grand Prix Champion. Die Auszeichnungen hören hier nicht auf; Coleman vertrat die Vereinigten Staaten bei der 1992 Olympische Sommerspiele und gewann Goldmedaillen bei den Panamerikanischen Meisterschaften im Freestyle Wrestling in 1990, 91 und 92.
