牛逼EMECULA, 加利福尼亚州. (五月 15, 2015) – While 布兰登 “公牛” 哈尔西 (9-0) can no longer say he’s Bellator MMA’s Middleweight World Champion, he’s still managed to show his talent with a one-sided destruction of proven veteran Kendall “Spyder的” 树林 (21-15).

The contest served as the feature main event of 周五 “Bellator: 哈尔西VS. 树林” card at Pechanga Resort & 赌场在Temecula, 加利福尼亚州.

Halsey nearly finished the fight in the early going, moving to an arm-triangle choke that would have finished a lesser opponent, but Grove somehow battled through the effort. 还, it was a one-sided round for the former champ.

Grove was able to avoid such a precarious position in the second, but he was still forced to be on the defensive throughout most of the frame. With a high-paced wrestling attack, Halsey simply pushed his way to the floor and enjoyed top position for almost the entirety of the round.

The pattern continued as the fight wore on, with Halsey simply overpowering his opponent and constantly earning himself the dominant position. Grove briefly threatened with an armbar in the fourth frame, but Halsey simply yanked his limb free and pounded away with punches shortly after until he earned the TKO win at the 2:25 mark of the frame.

The undefeated Halsey, who was stripped of the Bellator MMA Middleweight World Title for failing to make weight, will look to again earn the belt in his next appearance.

“I was my own worst enemy. It was how I performed. He didn’t throw anything at me that I wasn’t ready for. I was just trying to tough through the injury. I had to tough it out and come out with the victory,” Halsey said.

“明显, you want to be as dominant as possible. I just felt like I couldn’t explode through my combinations or explode through the fight and finish how I wanted to. 但是就像我说的, you’ve got to deal with adversity, and I did it the best I could,” Halsey continued.

“I learned my lesson. I thank Bellator. I apologize to the commission. It’s unprofessional not to make weight. 没有理由, but anybody knows that it’s hard to cut weight with an injury. The belt’s just a decoration, so I’m still the champ in my eyes. No one has taken the belt from me.”

在当晚的合作主要事件, former Bellator MMA Bantamweight World Champion 爱德华多 “嘟嘟” 丹塔斯 (17-4), of Rio de Janeiro, 巴西, took a step toward another shot at the title with a hard-fought decision victory over the hard-hitting 话筒 “海洋” 里奇曼, of Rose Mount, 从.

While Richman showed excellent takedown defense throughout the 15-minute affair, 丹塔斯’ work rate helped him earn the favor of the judges. Constantly pressing and looking to bring the fight to the floor, Dantas was able to just edge out Richman on the cards, 29-28 according to all three officials.

“I went out there and fought the way I trained to fight,” Dantas said after the win. “I knew Mike Richman was going to come with everything, but I wanted to win this fight and get back to the title. The only fight that makes sense next is for the title.

In a welterweight contest, 费尔南多 “在疯狂的Menifee” 冈萨雷斯 (24-13), of Menifee, 加利福尼亚州。, scored a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over “Curtious” 柯蒂斯Millender (7-2), 圣贝纳迪诺, 加利福尼亚州.

With Millender enjoying a six-inch height advantage, the smaller Gonzalez struggled to score points in the first two rounds. But when the fight hit the floor in the third, Gonzalez latched onto a guillotine choke and earned a tap from his opponent at the 1:14 最后一轮.

“我 4-0 现在,” Gonzalez said after the win. “That’s one step closer to the title, and I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with whoever is next.”

With the result, Gonzalez now boasts four-straight Bellator MMA victories and put himself in line for a potential shot at the promotion’s Welterweight Title.

In the night’s first main-card matchup, 不败的前景 Darrion “这个狼” 考德威尔 (7-0), of Rahway, 新泽西州, used a superior wrestling game to outwork more experienced opponent 拉斐尔 “蝙” 席尔瓦 (22-5), of Lajes, 巴西, en route a unanimous-decision victory.

With Caldwell scoring takedowns throughout the matchup, Silva looked for submissions when available, but he simply couldn’t find the necessary hold to work past his opponent’s defense. 代替, Caldwell kept his pressure high, and judges awarded him the fight, 29-28 在所有这三个卡.

After the victory, Caldwell made it clear he’s clearing his way to a shot at the Bellator MMA World Title.

“I don’t think there are any fighters out there as explosive as me at 135 英镑, or as fast,” Caldwell said. “终究, I’ll be able to prove that.”

In the night’s final preliminary bout, Guam’s 乔Taimanglo (21-6-1) scored a third-round knockout of Mexico’s 安东尼奥·杜阿尔特 (18-6).

另外, 轻量级前景 约旦帕森斯 (11-1), 圣地亚哥, 加利福尼亚州。, earned a third-round decision win over the previously undefeated Brazilian 塞萨尔·内维斯JR. (30-1).
