“I’m counting this as a title, I’ll let everyone else put interim in front of it. Moldavsky is a championship level fighter and so am I, so in my eyes this fight is to become the best heavyweight in the division.”

“It was easy to focus on his gameplan because it is the exact same thing I do. We both are strong wrestlers and have heavy ground and pound. I guess we are going to have see who does it better on Friday.”

“My resurgence in my career comes from me not doubting myself. I lost a few in a row and it was an easy excuse to quit and doubt myself, но не го направих, and I was able to rip off three in a row and put myself in a position to win a title.”

“I plan to get a dominant finish and earn a title shot. I don’t think either of us want this to go to a decision. Weather it be me knocking her out, cutting her open or ground and pound, I plan to finish this fight in a dominating fashion.”

“It is really exciting to fight in front of the fans and feel that energy again. Walking in and walking out is where you feel it, but when I step foot in the cage it is just me and my opponent.”

“This has nothing to do with Kana and her record. I have to put on a dominant performance and show why I deserve to be the champion in this division. When I got to Bellator, I wanted to climb all the way up the rankings, and that is what I have done and plan on continuing to do.”

“Without giving too much away I see a lot of possibilities here. I see a lot of disabilities in her game that I can capitalize on that will enhance my game. This will allow me to put on a great performance and finish her.”

Kana Watanabe BELLATOR Women’s Flyweight

“If I have a positive showing Friday, then I believe I deserve a shot at the title.”

“Liz is one of the biggest names I have ever fought, but this does not change my mindset or make me feel pressure. I am honored to fight Liz and can’t wait to step foot in the cage with her.”

Myles Jury BELLATOR Lightweight

“I try to focus on the things I can control, but a win Friday along with how I have been fighting should put me in the conversation for a title shot.”

“I credit my toughness for this two-fight win streak. I continue to show up and work hard. When I was on that three-fight losing streak, I did not allow for myself to get down. After Friday I will be on a three-fight win streak and in a great spot for a shot at the title, and I credit my toughness and resilience for that.”

Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Lightweight

“I have improved in every way possible. Jury is just another guy who breathes air, so I have nothing to worry about.”

“Fighting guys like Michael Chandler have helped me, but at the end of the day it is me vs. ми. I am confident, and that has translated to every other aspect of my life. I am prepared for this fight and am going to put on a show.”

БЕЛАТОР ММА 263: PITBULL VS. MCKEE VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Оставете коментар
FULL PRESS CONFERENCE VIDEO HERE

LOS ANGELES – June 17, 2021 – BELLATOR MMA’s Featherweight and Lightweight World Champion Патрисио Pitbull (32-4) and undefeated top-ranked challenger AJ Маккий (17-0) previewed their must-watch Featherweight World Grand Prix Final and 145-pound title fight during a virtual press conference Wednesday. Both fighters’ head coaches, Eric Albarracin of Team Pitbull Brothers, и Antonio McKee of Team Bodyshop, also chimed in with a look at the final preparations both fight camps are taking as we approach the massive event.

Bellator 263: Pitbull срещу. Маккий will emanate from the Forum in Inglewood, Калифорния., and will air live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Tickets for the event go on sale tomorrow, Петък, Юни 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the fighters and their coaches had to say Wednesday:

Патрисио Pitbull, BELLATOR Featherweight World Champion & BELLATOR Lightweight World Champion

“I’m a little bit older and faster than the rest of my division and I’m going to use this in my favor. (22:47)

“Of all the opponents I’ve faced, AJ is the most dangerous, and I know that. С това се каза, I know that I’m going to win this fight and prove his father wrong. (26:18)

“At the beginning of his career, he faced very low-level guys. He has a few wins over tough opponents, but he’s never fought anyone like me. He claims that he is ready for me, but he isn’t, and he’ll learn that very quickly in front of his home crowd.” (38:48)

AJ Маккий, Do Not. 1 Ranked BELLATOR Featherweight & Featherweight World Grand Prix Finalist

“It’s been a great journey and this is something I’ve dreamed of my entire career. Както казах, I’ve been calling Pitbull’s name since I first stepped into that cage and he’s ignored me, pretending like he doesn’t know who I am. В края на деня, there is nowhere else for him to run and he has to look me in my eyes. I’m looking forward to it. Everyone says I haven’t been tested and I agree. Но, when you do see me get tested, a whole different animal will come out. (23:22)

“After I beat Pitbull and become the face of BELLATOR, we can run it back for that second belt too. Becoming champ-champ is something that I said I was always going to do, and that I will do. I went through the trials and tribulations of not wanting to fight, to then having my passion for this come back and me seeing all my goals be within reach. It’s going to be fun, especially after the long break due to my knee surgery. I can’t wait to get in there again. The Mercenary does one thing: he signs the contract and then takes the person out. (24:22)

“I’ve been preparing for this fight for six years because Pitbull has been at the top for so long. Отново, I have a foot longer reach on him, so he has to come to me. He says he is training with gold medal wrestlers, but I will do the same thing to him that I did to Pat Curran and Darrion Caldwell. I’m comfortable off my back. Just because he’s Brazilian, that doesn’t mean anything in terms of Jiu jitsu. I have that evolved Jiu jitsu and that’s what I get people with when they don’t see it coming.” (31:45)

Скот Кокър, BELLATOR President

“We’re excited to be back in California and we are excited to be back in the Forum, a place where we have had so many great fights. It’s going to be an amazing event. My staff is excited and the fighters are excited. When you think about live sports, it needs fans. We got a taste of it last week at the Mohegan Sun, which has been an amazing partner for us, but it’s time to travel and get back to what BELLATOR does best. That is putting on great fights touring from city-to-city, starting with this amazing fight on July 31. (4:10)

“This is the fight that everyone wanted to see. We have so many amazing athletes in this division that we went through the lottery system for matchups, which provided us with amazing fights. But at the beginning, I was wishing that the final would be McKee versus Pitbull. When we signed McKee, he had zero fights to his name. Сега, look at where he is today. Back then, Pitbull was our champion and obviously still is today, so this fight is the “OG” vs. the new guard and we’ll have to see what happens.” (5:13)

Eric Albarracin, Team Pitbull Brothers Head Coach

“Patricio’s had a bullseye on his back since he became the champ in 2014, when he beat Pat Curran and this run has gone exactly as we planned. We were the matchmakers, we sent Darrion Caldwell to the other side of the bracket to take out some of the young bucks and he did. След това, AJ took him out and here we are. I think this is the perfect matchup for the finals. We have a young, up-and-coming, undefeated fighter and the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet, Патрисио Pitbull. This is going to be the greatest fight in BELLATOR history. (7:20)

“Even at 17-0, AJ is still very young in the game. He’s very unpredictable. Но, at the end of the day it’s Pitbull who is the pound-for-pound best on the planet, it’s Pitbull who is the double champ, it’s Pitbull who has the best coaches in the game and they don’t know how to prepare for that.” (8:18)

Antonio McKee, Team Bodyshop Head Coach

“I lived a different life, one where it wasn’t all good. I was dealing with a lot of stuff that a lot of African American men deal with. No mother and no father, growing up in the streets of Los Angeles. It was what it was, but I made the right decisions and never got caught for anything that I did that could have put me away for the rest of my life and found my drive and motivation through my son. The things that AJ would say as a kid, like ‘Daddy if you die, can I die with you?’ I didn’t care about living and I didn’t have a problem with killing either. And then one day AJ says ‘Dad, whatever you do and wherever you go, I want to come with you.’ I was ready to clock out, but then I realized that I needed to be here for him. He had nothing but me, so that gave me the drive and the strength to find a better way out.

“I made it this far, did my thing as a wrestler and was the best in the world. I did what I was doing, but I didn’t have the right mindset, so I had to check my mental and learn how to be a respectable human being. Once I did that, things started to shift for me and now here we are. I did things to keep AJ in private school, not to buy cars, музика, and jewelry. I did it all to pay for his school tuition.” (14:36)

A picture containing text Description automatically generated

Лос Анджелис — And then there were two…

What began with 16 featherweight athletes vying for a one-million-dollar grand prize and the BELLATOR Featherweight World Championship has been narrowed to the greatest BELLATOR athlete in the history of the promotionПатрисио Pitbull (32-4) and the company’s best-ever homegrown fighter in No. 1 класиранаAJ Маккий (17-0).

The culmination of the BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix takes place Saturday, Юли 31 По време на форума в Ингълууд, Калифорния., and marks the company’s first domestic event hosted away from “The Fightsphere” since February 2020.

Bellator 263: Pitbull срещу. Маккийairs live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, Юни 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com with a pre-sale taking place on Thursday.

“This is without a doubt going to be the biggest BELLATOR fight of all time,” said BELLATOR President Scott Coker. “AJ McKee has been calling for a shot at Pitbull’s title since his very first professional victory inside our cage six years ago. Now he’s finally getting the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming a world champion against the winningest fighter in BELLATOR history. For Pitbull a win over McKee in this tournament final would be a statement piece to add to his long list of accolades and legacy as the best 145-pounder on the planet.”

One half of the vaunted Pitbull Brothers duo, Patricio has long been considered the crown jewel of BELLATOR MMA, where he sits atop the pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable record of 32-4 with wins over elite competition including the likes ofPat Къран, Хуан Арчулета, Daniel Weichel (x2) and most recently a second triumph over Emmanuel Sanchez, the 33-year-old stands alone as the featherweight king. Допълнително, he was able to capture the Lightweight World Championship in a 2019 contest opposite Michael Chandler, becoming only the second BELLATOR athlete to hold two titles simultaneously. С 23 finishes in 36 професионални мача, Pitbull has shown time and time again that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

With a perfect record of 17-0, AJ McKee has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut at the ripe age of 20-years-old. With an even six knockouts and six submissions, the now-26-year-old McKee has shown a knack for securing finishes—and fast—with nine coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every man who has opposed him including former champions Pat Curran, Георги Karakhanyan, and Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted most-recently with a rare, modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” Finally, the Long Beach native will face the man he has called for since signing with BELLATOR, as he takes on Patricio Pitbull in the much-anticipated Featherweight World Grand Prix Final.

The preliminary portion of the event streams live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, канал SHOWTIME Спорт YouTube, as well as Pluto TV and features former featherweight title challenger and No. 2 класиранаEmmanuel Sanchez(20-5) versus Denmark’s No. 8 класиранаМадс Бърнел(15-3), a bantamweight tilt between No. 3 класиранаMagomed “Tiger” Magomedov(18-1) и Не. 4 Raufeon “Supa” Stots(16-1) and a lightweight affair pitting undefeatedUsman Nurmagomedov (12-0) срещуМани Муро(12-6).

Since his professional MMA debut in 2017, Aaron Pico has widely been considered one of the brightest prospects in the sport. The Jackson Wink fighter has showcased a wrestling acumen that stacks up with the best in the world, coupled with vicious punching power that has earned him stunning KO victories with both his left and right hand. The 24-year-old has shown steady growth each time out in the BELLATOR cage and is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.

Fighting for the first time on American soil, the 26-year-old Lee looks to secure his third straight victory inside the BELLATOR cage. An underrated submission specialist, the Englishman earned his fourth career victory via rear-naked choke against Damian Frankiewicz and a stunning head-kick knockout against Jeremy Petley in the first round of their matchup last September.

С-Крис Киборг (24-2, 1 NC) победен #4-Лесли Смит (12-9-1) чрез TKO (стачки) при 4:51 на пет кръгли

Крис Киборг след запазване на титлата:

„Знаех, че е корава и съм се бил с нея и преди. Познавам я и я уважавам, а тя е истински боец. Знаех, че с нея ще бъде страхотен мач, защото е способна и е жилава."

„Наистина работех в спаринг, за да продължа и да вървя, защото знаех, че ще бъде по този начин. Забелязах, че ми хареса малко повече. Ще бъде 16 години като професионален боец ​​този месец, така че започнах да се наслаждавам там."



„Работя по борбата през целия си живот, но просто се чувствам все по-добър и по-добър всеки ден. Взех черен колан, но е като бял колан, защото винаги се уча."

„Правих това 16 години, Имам четири заглавия. Но преди да можете да станете G.O.A.T. трябва да се биете с „Котката.“ И така, Бих искал да се бия с Cat Zingano и ще попитам Скот Кокър. Защото преди да можете да бъдете G.O.A.T. трябва да се биете с „Котката“. "

#6-Леандро Higo (20-5) победен Darrion Caldwell (15-5) чрез съдийско решение (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

„Вече три години чакам тази битка. Точно така исках да върви. Използвах борбата си и джиу-джицу. Аз съм пълен боец ​​и съм готов за всеки боец ​​на планетата, защото вярвам, че съм най-добрият. Знаех, че съм загубил първия рунд, но във втория, когато той хвърли всички тези лакти и ме разряза, Аз съм от бедно семейство в Бразилия и това не беше нещо, което не бях виждал преди. Чувствах се щастлив, намирайки се в клетката с кръв навсякъде.

„В крайна сметка той ме свали през втората и аз отидох за кимура, което съм свикнал да правя, но той го обърна, но след това не направи нищо и аз го ударих с много удари по дъното. Много лакти и удари, а аз останах много на дъното и той не правеше нищо. Ето защо спечелих втория и третия кръг. "

„Мисля, че заслужавам титла. Току-що победих три от най-големите имена в играта и току-що победих бивш световен шампион. И никой не е победил първите трима момчета от този калибър от световна класа, както аз в три поредни победи. Отивам за тази световна титла и това е, което следва за мен. Така че нека да го направим бързо. "

#3-Остин Вандерфорд (11-0) победен #4-Фабиан Едуардс (9-2) чрез единодушно решение (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Остин Вандерфорд след единодушното му решение спечели:

„Харесвам кървавите си битки, независимо дали съм аз или моят противник. Ще взема краста. Но шапка на Фабиан, който ме наряза малко. Но щастлив да спечеля. "

„Той беше голям, силен човек. Започнах да го усещам да ми подави тази глава и ръка. За съжаление, Не се възползвах от това. Но знаех какво ще направя. Щях просто да го смила. Той е добър нападател, така че трябваше да внимавам, но се чувствах добре. Борба ... това е сърцето ми. Готов съм за следващата стъпка. "

Jaleel Уилис (15-2) победен Мейкон Мендонка (11-5) чрез единодушно решение (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Хана Гай (3-1) победен #8-Валери Луреда (3-1) чрез единодушно решение (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Хана Гай след първата си победа в клетката BELLATOR ...

„Имах чувството, че имам наистина добро кардио, така че това беше страхотно, защото наистина се притеснявах за това малко. Толкова съм благодарен, че тя пое битката и съм толкова благодарен, че BELLATOR ми даде тази възможност.

„Мислех, че ще завърша с триъгълника (дросел), честно. Тя просто се измъкна от там, така че това беше страхотно от нея. Защитата й беше наистина добра. Наистина бях впечатлен от това. Не знаех каква е нейната основна игра, но беше много по-добра, отколкото си мислех, че ще бъде.

„Граплингът е точно там, където искам да бъда, ако сте виждали някоя от другите ми битки. Поражението ми наистина се подобри много, така че се надявам да го променя. Но граплингът винаги е бил моята силна страна. Не исках просто да разчитам на граплинга си, но си мислех, че няколко пъти доста добре кацнах някои снимки. В тази битка си помислих, че мога да видя кога идват ударите. И успях да защитя малко по-добре и как съм израснал. Така че просто съм много горд със себе си в момента. "

UNDEFEATED WORLD CHAMP VELASQUEZ DEFENDS HER TITLE AGAINST KICKBOXING WORLD CHAMP KIELHOLTZ FRIDAY, Юли 16 AT BELLATOR 262

Оставете коментар
A person and person Description automatically generated with low confidence
АНГЕЛИТЕ - Основното събитие на Bellator 262 в петък, Юли 16 will feature undefeated 125-pound world champion Джулиана Веласкес (11-0) making the first defense of her title against BELLATOR Kickboxing’s Flyweight World Champion and No. 4 класирана Дениз Килхолц (6-2). The card emanates from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Кон. and airs live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

A limited number of tickets starting at $60 go on sale beginning Friday, Юни 4, with a special presale starting on Thursday, Юни 3 от 10 А.М. към 10 p.m. И, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

The preliminary portion of БЕЛАТОР ММА 262: Веласкес срещу. Kielholtz започва 5:30 p.m. И / 2:30 p.m. PT and will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Спортен канал в YouTube и телевизия Плутон. Допълнителни двубои ще бъдат обявени на по-късна дата.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Бразилия, the 34-year-old Velasquez makes the first defense of her flyweight title since dethroning inaugural champion Ilima-Lei Макфарлейн при Bellator 254 in December of last year. Sitting in the No. 2 slot on the BELLATOR women’s pound-for-pound rankings, Velasquez is a former Brazilian national champion in judo, a martial arts discipline she began training at age four. The Team Nogueira product has been a dominant force throughout her unblemished 11-fight professional career, including six wins under the BELLATOR banner.

“I’m extremely excited and happy to get back in the BELLATOR cage and defend my title for the first time,” said Velasquez. “I’ve been training really hard, and I’m fully prepared to put on an incredible performance for my fans. Denise has been a great champion in the BELLATOR kickboxing ring, but this MMA belt is mine and it will be going back to Brazil with me after the fight.”

Already the reigning BELLATOR Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, Kielholtz is looking to capture the promotion’s MMA gold as well when she straps on the BELLATOR MMA gloves for the seventh time. The Dutch striking sensation, known to fans as “Miss Dynamite,” is riding a four-fight MMA winning streak, including a first round knockout over former title challenger Кейт Джаксън при Bellator 247 през октомври миналата година. Much like her opponent, the 32-year-old Kielholtz holds a black belt in judo with multiple titles as a member of the Dutch National Judo Team.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since I was a child,” said Kielholtz. “My journey in martial arts started when I was nine years old. I have earned multiple championships from kickboxing and judo and I feel like the universe has put everything together. All the hard work, all the sacrifices I have made in my life have all led me to this opportunity. This will be the crowning achievement of my career. This is mine.”
