moisés (9-2) wedi troi’n 23 oed yn ddiweddar, ond mae wedi cael ei ystyried yn un o'r rhagolygon ysgafn mwyaf cyffrous yn y byd ers amser maith. Cyflwynodd dynamo Brasil Javon Wright yn ei ymddangosiad cyntaf RFA yn RFA 28. Enillodd y fuddugoliaeth ergyd i Moisés yn aur RFA yn ei wibdaith nesaf yn RFA 35. Defnyddiodd Moisés y cyfle hwn i sicrhau un o'r enillion cyflwyno mwyaf cofiadwy yn hanes MMA. Dienyddiodd Armbar Hofrennydd trydanol ac anghyffredin iawn i gyflwyno David Castillo. Gwnaeth y cyflwyniad ef yr ail bencampwr ieuengaf yn hanes RFA, aeth yn firaol ar y rhyngrwyd, ac enillodd enwebai iddo “Cyflwyno'r Flwyddyn” yng Ngwobrau MMA y Byd blynyddol.

 

 

 

Yna amddiffynodd Moisés ei deitl ysgafn RFA ddwywaith. Daeth yr amddiffyniad teitl cyntaf yn erbyn Jamall Emmers yn RFA 38. Daeth y fuddugoliaeth gydag Arlywydd UFC, Dana White, yn eistedd ar ochr y ochr a chafodd sylw ar seithfed bennod Dana White: Edrych mewn’ am Ymladd. Daeth amddiffyniad yr ail deitl yn erbyn Zach Freeman yn nhref enedigol Freeman yn RFA 44. Yn ystod yr ymladd hwnnw, Torrodd Moisés ei law. Roedd cynnyrch Tîm Top America yn dal i lwyddo i fordeithio i fuddugoliaeth Penderfyniad unfrydol, ond collodd bron i flwyddyn o weithredu yn aros i'w law a atgyweiriwyd yn llawfeddygol wella. Yna ail-anafodd Moisés ei law yn cystadlu am deitl ysgafn cyntaf LFA yr haf diwethaf yn LFA 17. Nawr mae gwregys du BJJ yn ôl ac yn barod i atgoffa'r byd, hynny pan y mae yn 100%, ef yw'r gobaith ysgafn gorau yn y byd.

 

 

 

Peterson (9-4) ar hyn o bryd yn marchogaeth streak ennill chwe-ymladd trawiadol ac nid yw wedi blasu trechu mewn dros dair blynedd. Fodd bynnag, dechreuodd cynnyrch Alliance MMA wneud enw iddo'i hun y llynedd ar ôl arwyddo gyda LFA. Gwnaeth Peterson hyn trwy ennill pob un o’i dair gornest am yr hyrwyddiad yn erbyn gwrthwynebiad a ffafrir yn fawr. Daeth y fuddugoliaeth gyntaf yn erbyn y prif obaith heb ei drin Bobby Lee trwy unfrydol

Penderfyniad yn LFA 12. Daeth yr ail fuddugoliaeth yn erbyn hoff gefnogwr lleol Brandon Jenkins trwy Split Decision yn LFA 20. Daeth y drydedd fuddugoliaeth fwyaf yn erbyn seren Bellator longtime a'i gyd-U.S.. Morol Mike Richman trwy Benderfyniad unfrydol yn gyd-brif ddigwyddiad LFA 29.

 

 

 

 

Nawr mae'r chwaraewr 28 oed o'r enw “Y Gweinyddwr” Bydd yn edrych i ychwanegu pencampwr ysgafn olaf yr RFA at ei restr o gynhyrfiadau. Dyma'r cam angenrheidiol nesaf y bydd angen iddo ei gymryd os yw cyfundrefn Peterson yn bwriadu cymryd yr awenau gan fod y weinyddiaeth reoli newydd ar ben adran ysgafn LFA. Mae wedi cyrraedd y pwynt hwn trwy herio'r od. Mae Peterson wedi gweinyddu ei garw, arddull ddi-lol o ymladd i gynhyrfu gobaith sydd heb ei drin, ffefryn lleol, a milfeddyg poblogaidd. Nawr bydd yn cynyddu'r ante trwy wynebu ei brawf mwyaf hyd yn hyn. Pan fydd yr ods betio agoriadol yn cael eu rhyddhau ar gyfer yr ymladd hwn, disgwyl i Peterson fod yr isdog unwaith eto. Ni fyddai ei eisiau mewn unrhyw ffordd arall. Dyna lle mae'n ffynnu. Ci diafol, yn cael ei ystyried yn isdog, mewn prif amser mae ymladd pennawd yn beth brawychus. Oorah.

CHEICK KONGO INCHES PAST VINICIUS SPARTAN IN ‘BELLATOR 150’ MAIN EVENT ON SPIKE

Gadael sylw

COMPLETE BELLATOR 150 PHOTOS HERE

MULVANE, Mai. (Chwefror 26, 2015) – A week removed from the most watched Bellator MMA event in company history, the Scott Coker-led promotion returned to action on SPIKE with "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz,” an event that delivered five spectacular main card fights.

 

Yn prif ddigwyddiad y noson, Cheick Kongo (24-10-2) intelligently managed the distance between he and Vinicius Spartan (8-4), kicking and jabbing his way to a split decision victory (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan did have his moments during the heavyweight encounter, securing takedowns in rounds two and three, followed by a knockdown late. Ond yn y diwedd, Kongo received the benefit of the doubt from the Kansas-appointed judges. The Frenchman has now won two straight, and improved to 6-2 overall under the Bellator MMA banner.

It only took David Rickels (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish Bobby Cooper (12-6) in front of a sellout crowd at Kansas Star Arena on Friday. Both men had their moments during the action, but after a knee to the body dropped Cooper to his knees, “The Caveman” pummelled his foe with hammerfists until referee John McCarthy called a stop to the action.

Kendall Grove (23-15) stopio Francisco France (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 eiliadau i mewn i'r ail rownd, winning by knockout. The victory was an emotional one for “Da Spyder,” who recently lost his brother and made it clear his performance was dedicated to his late sibling. Grove has now won three of his last four tilts, all via finish.

Chuka Willis (7-2) handed Gaston Reyno (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, winning via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The scrap went back-and-forth over the course of 15 cofnodion, with multiple submission attempts and knockdowns by both men. But in the end – much to the delight of the partisan crowd – Willis earned the nod.

Former Shamrock FC Flyweight Champion Rebecca Ruth (6-1) trechu Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) drwy benderfyniad unfrydol (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz.” For “Ruthless” the win is the first of her career via the judges’ scorecards and extended her current winning streak to four straight.

 

Canlyniadau Cerdyn rhagarweiniol:

Mae'r 34-mlwydd-oed ar hyn o bryd yng nghanol streak buddugol pedwar-ymladd ac wedi dod i'r amlwg fuddugol mewn saith o'i wyth sbarion diwethaf. Yn ei daith olaf, Gorffen Galvao Joe Warren yn "Bellator 135: Warren vs. Galvao " via submission to win his first-ever championship and fulfil a promise he made to his mother before her unfortunate passing.

 

Yn y cyfamser, Bydd Dantas yn edrych i ddyblygu llwyddiant oedd ganddo yn erbyn Galvao yn eu cyfarfod cyntaf, which resulted in a second-round knockout at “Bellator 89.” Last May, the 27-year-old Nova Uniao product dispelled of Mike Richman drwy benderfyniad unfrydol ar "Bellator 137: Halsey vs. Llwyni. " Tymor Bellator 5 Bantamweight Tournament winner is looking to become a two-time bantamweight champion come Hydref 23.

 

Kongo will be making his eighth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, looking to add to his impressive promotional mark of 5-2. The Parisian native has fought a who’s who in the mixed martial arts landscape, with notable wins against Mirko Cro Cop, Pat Barry, Matt Mitrione, and Alexander Volkov already on his record. In his last outing – which just so happened to be inside the Kansas Star Arena — Kongo impressively defeated Volkov via unanimous decision.

 

After nearly two years out of action, Queiroz returned to the Bellator MMA cage against Ewerton Teixeira yn "Bellator 139: Kongo vs. Volkov," defeating his fellow Brazilian opponent via second round arm-triangle choke. “Spartan” hopes to plant the seeds for a busy 2016 with the matchup against Kongo, where a win can undoubtedly place him in the midst of the heavyweight title picture.

A veteran of Strikeforce, “Kiko” France has strung together a five-fight winning streak as of late, most recently handing the formerly undefeated Ben Reiter the first loss of his young career at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef. " It’s safe to classify the 33-year-old Arizona native as a “submission specialist,"Gyda 12 o'i 13 wins as a professional coming by way of making his opponent tap.

 

A Bellator MMA event in Mulvane, Kansas just wouldn’t be the same without “The Caveman,” who will return to action for the first time since competing against Michael Chandler mae hyn yn y gorffennol Tachwedd. Rickels always comes ready to put on a show, boed hynny ar ei ffordd i'r cawell, neu pan ei fod yn ymgymryd â pwy yw pwy o dalent ysgafn Bellator MMA. The 27-year-old will be making his 16fedappearance under the promotional banner.

 

The last time Bobby Cooper fought inside the Kansas Star Arena, he took home a closely contested split decision victory over“Bellator 147” co-headliner Pablo Villaseca. Nawr, “Super Duper” will look to move to 3-0 under the Bellator MMA banner when he faces Rickels in hostile territory. It’s worth noting that the Missouri native has only lost twice in his last eight MMA appearances.

 

Hailing from Ukraine, Ovchynnikova will enter the fray fresh off a new exclusive, multi-fight contract with Bellator MMA. “Hunter” has previously fought the likes of Joanne Calderwood and at only 28-years-old has already competed professionally since 2006. Nawr, Ovchynnikova looks to solidify herself as a top contender in the budding women’s flyweight division on Chwefror 26 against a tough foe in Ruth.

 

“Becky” Ruth was undefeated in 2015, winning all three of her matchups by technical knockout under the Shamrock Fighting Championships banner. The lone loss on the Missouri native’s record came against Resurrection Fighting Alliance champion Jocelyn Jones-Lybarger, via controversial split decision.
