MATT MITRIONE CHOOSES BELLATOR MMA, SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE PROMOTION

Efterlad en kommentar

Santa Monica (Marts 14, 2016) – Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agent Matt Mitrione (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.

 

“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”

 

Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, Syg. Efter college, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.

 

At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, FLA, where he trains today.

 

The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, mod Joey Beltran og Cheick Kongo, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition with “Performance of the Night” (to gange) og “Fight of the Night” anerkendelser.

 

Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.

 

Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, som Sergei Kharitonov joined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by Vitaly Minakov, and includes other top names like Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, Justin Wren, Dan Charles og Augusto Sakai.

Santa Monica (Marts 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage så at sige,"Sagde Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.

THACKERVILLE, OK. (Marts 4, 2016) - Det er sikkert at sige Darrion Caldwell (9-0) hævdede sig selv som en legitim titelkandidat med sin sejr over Joe Warren (13-5) i de vigtigste tilfælde af “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” på fredag nat foran et udsolgt publikum på WinStar Resort and Casino.

Som mange forventede, kampen nåede hurtigt på måtten, med “Ulven” tage de selverklærede ned “Den dårligste mand på planeten” og initiering af en sekvens af jord-og-pund-forseelser. Efter at Warren kom på fode igen, den tidligere NC State wrestler sænkede Warren og sank i en nøgen choke bagfra — som Warren nægtede at trykke på — tvinger dommer Dan Miragliotta til at vinke af kampen kl 3:23 af runde én.

Efter den tekniske aflevering sejr, Caldwell gjorde god brug af sin tid på mikrofonen med farvekommentator Jimmy Smith, kalder den nuværende bantamvægtmester Marcos Galvao, bare sige: “F*k dig [Marcos] Galvao, du er en p*ssy.” Det er ni sejre i træk for den tidligere NCAA-mester for at begynde sin mixed martial arts-karriere, tre sejre siden overgangen fra fjervægt til bantamvægt. I mellemtiden, Warren er nu faldet to ud af tre og vil ikke få et skud på vinderen af ​​Galvao og Eduardo Dantas når de endelig mødes.

 

I aftenens co-main event, Fernando Gonzalez (25-13) forlængede sin sejrsrække til fem på bekostning af Gilbert Smith (12-5), vinder med en delt beslutning (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). Nedtagningerne var sandsynligvis forskellen på dommerne’ scorecards, men begge kæmpere havde deres øjeblikke i løbet af 15 minutter. Gonzalez rykker nu endnu tættere på et skud på titlen på 170 pund, eller et matchup med Michael Page, som oprindeligt skulle stå over for “Den Menifee Maniac” før du trækker dig tilbage. Fremtiden for divisionen vil være meget klarere efterfølgende “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” April 22, når Benson Henderson udfordringer Andrey Koreshkov til weltervægt bælte.

 

Yamauchi op (19-3) kom i sin kamp imod Bubba Jenkins (11-2) rider på en bølge af momentum efter tre sejre i træk, men Arizona State wrestling-standout brugte sin verdensklasses grappling til at neutralisere Yamauchis slående og jiu-jitsu dygtighed. Den 23-årige japanske konkurrent tog ryggen af ​​Jenkins i løbet af første runde og sikrede sig næsten en armstang sent i sidste runde, men “The Highlight Kid's” effektiv grappling var forskellen, opnår den enstemmige beslutning (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins har nu vundet tre kampe i træk siden hans januar 2015 tab til Georgi Karakhanyan.

Under åbningen af ​​hovedkortkonkurrencen kl “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell,” Sirwan Kakai (12-4) droppede sin første kamp under Bellator MMA-banneret til Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) via enstemmig afgørelse (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). Det så ud som om “Baby Joe” skulle afslutte konkurrencen tidligt - synke i en Anaconda Choke inden overgangen til en dyb guillotine - men “Zohan” klarede stormen og blev hængende i de sidste ti minutter, selv skabe nogle lyspunkter i tredje og sidste runde. I sidste ende, dommerne’ bursiden tildelte Guam-indfødte sin tredje sejr i træk og sendte Kakai tilbage til tegnebrættet.
