BELLATOR MMA 256: Bader vs. Machida 2 Glavni Card:
#1-Ryan Bader (28-6, 1 NC) poražen #4-Lyoto Machida (26-11) via jednoglasnom odlukom (49-46, 49-45, 49-45)
Bader “I don’t know who I’d rather face next. I don’t know much about [Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov] but I know Corey [Anderson] really well. I brought him in for training camps for Phil Davis. He’s a good guy so I’m rooting for him. But if I have to fight him, I know he’s tough. I’m in this tournament and I ran through another tournament before. I had fun so that’s why I came down here. It doesn’t matter who’s in my way. I want that belt back and this was the first step right here.

“There’s redemption this whole tournament. I got one back on Machida but I’ve lost to Nemkov and I’ve lost to Anthony Johnson, so I would like to meet one of them in the finals. But honestly, to make it to the finals and fight for the belt, I’d be happy with whoever it is.”

#2-liz Carmouche (15-7) poražen Vanessa Porto (22-8) via jednoglasnom odlukom (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Carmouche: “As soon as they say I’m clear and I’m good, I’m ready to get right back into fighting camp and go for the belt. If I don’t get a title shot, I’d be disappointed of course. I came in here with the hopes that I would work up the ranks to fight for the title. I just need to know what I need to do. You tell me who I need to beat to get that fight and I’ll do it. I certainly hope that taking somebody who has more fights than I do and beating her tonight would put me in contention for that belt.”

#3-Adam Borics (17-1) defeated#8-Jeremy Kennedy (16-3, 1 NC) via jednoglasnom odlukom (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Borics: “I don’t care who my next opponent is, but just give me the winner of the [Featherweight World Grand Prix] turnir. I’m definitely next in line. My goal is to get the winner but let’s see what BELLATOR wants. I am really happy I got this opportunity to fight during these crazy times. I feel that I am ready for a title. I have eight or nine fights with BELLATOR so yes, I would like to fight for the title next.”

#3-Cat Zingano (12-4) poražen Olivia Parker (4-2) submission (armbar) u 2:56 okruglih jednom
Zingano: “I want to go against the best. I know who’s the best. I know these two girls [Cris Cyborg and Leslie Smith] have a fight coming up in a couple months and I’d love to get a shot at the belt over here in BELLATOR. That would mean a lot to me.”

Dan Moret (15-6) poražen #3-Yamauchi up (25-5) preko Splita odluka (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Rising welterweight star Jaron “Boots” Ennis was interviewed on the telecast ahead of his SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING main event debut tomorrow night against former 140-pound world champion Sergey Lipinets.

“You’re going to see a lot of speed, snaga, and me having fun. It’s about making statements and getting knockouts at the end of the night,” said the 23-year-old Ennis, who will be taking on the toughest challenge of his career in Lipinets as he pursues a world title shot. “It’s going to be a great opportunity for me to headline my first SHOWTIME CHAMPIONSHIP BOXING and it’s the start of me being a pay-per-view star. It’s only up after this. It’s time for me to do my thing tomorrow night.”

A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingKarl Albrektsson uBellator 231 in October of last year. A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "Gospodin. Wonderful” has earned professional victories over Brian Stann, Alexander Gustafsson, Antônio Rogério Nogueira, and the man he will face again on Sept. 11, Lyoto Machida. With eight Bellator appearances already, the San Diego-based fighter has his sights set on reclaiming his world title in the sport’s toughest light heavyweight division.

After signing with Bellator in 2018, Lyoto Machida made his highly anticipated promotional debut with a victory over former champRafael CarvalhouBellator 213and would later go on to defeat the now-retiredChael Sonneninside the famed Madison Square Garden atBellator 222. The former UFC light heavyweight champ, known to fans around the globe as “The Dragon,” owns notable career wins over Tito Ortiz, “Shogun” Rua, Dan Henderson, Rashad Evans and Randy Couture. Having lost to Davis in the first matchup in Brazil, the native ofSalvador, Bahia, Brazil is looking for redemption and a future shot at Bellator gold.

Fresh off of an impressive victory overHenry Corrales uBellator 238 ranije ove godine, Juan Archuleta will look to capture the promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap. Fighting out of Hesperia, Kalifornija, the 32-year-old knockout artist will once again drop down a weight class for a shot at the world title, something he successfully accomplished on four separate occasions while competing for regional promotion King of the Cage (light welterweight, lak, flyweight and bantamweight). Following a hard-fought featherweight world title bout withPatricio Pitbull last September, “The Spaniard” returns to bantamweight, where he has been undefeated for over five years.

Currently fighting out of Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., Patchy Mix will make his fourth appearance for Bellator, where he has tallied three first-round submission victories. The 26-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.-native hopes to remain undefeated and build off of his most recent win on New Year’s Eve, which saw “No Love” earn a guillotine choke-submission over Yuki Motoya at Bellator’s co-promotional event with Rizin atRizin.20u Japanu. Prior to his time with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Mix dominated his competition in all nine of his fights with King of the Cage, collecting five first round finishes. Sada, the submission specialist will face the toughest test of his young career, a matchup with the former Bellator featherweight world title contender and a shot at Bellator’s vacant 135-pound strap.

Ronda Rousey- The Cleaner

Ostavite komentar

S obzirom da je sezona poreza, to je dobro vrijeme da zapamtite da postoje tri garancije u životu: smrt, poreza i Ronda Rousey još jednom pokazuje zašto je ona najbolji ženski borac na planeti sa prvom krugu rušenje svojih protivnika.

Rousey je nastup na UFC 184 prošlog mjeseca bio njen najbolji do sada. Ona je podnijela iglu Cat, naširoko smatran najveći izazov Rousey je, u 14 sekundi. Dok Rousey pomogla je apsolutno strašno strategiju Zingano, joj virtuoz performanse vodila drugoj diskusiji o ko ima ono što je potrebno da zbaciti Rousey. Također je dovelo do smiješno razgovor o tome da li ili ne može da se takmiči protiv Rousey i poraz muškog boraca u bantam divizije UFC-a. Što manje vremena provedenog na tom apsurdno ideju da ostvaruje samo pokušava da diskredituje veliki borac Rousey je, bolje.

Naravno, prvo ime koje uvijek dolazi up je Cris "Cyborg" Justino, Invicta FC pero prvak. Ona se očekuje da će pasti na 135 funti za borbu s Invicta ovog ljeta prije prelaska na borbu sa Rousey. Međutim, Cyborg pokušao pad u bantam kategoriji prošle godine, a napuštene tim planovima. Dakle, ne bih držati moj dah na dugo očekivani kivan utakmica između Rousey i Cyborg događa uskoro.

Rousey je nedavno izrazio želju da se bori Bethe Correia, koji je pretučen dva Rousey je "Četiri Horsewomen" saigračima i je pozivajući Rousey od tada. Jessica Eye je također kocku svoju tvrdnju da titulu, ali ni jedna od tih žena predstavljaju stvarnu prijetnju Rousey. U postfight pokrivenost UFC 184 je, Daniel Cormier plutali ideju svog kolege Miesha Tate dobiti treći pukotine na Rousey.

Osim toga mislim da trilogies treba zadržana samo kada je svaki borac ima pobjedu nad ostalim, Ne vidim razlog zašto bi treći put biti šarm za Tate. Dok je ona jedina žena da idu dalje od prvog kruga s Rousey, Tate je plateaued kao borac, a Rousey je dobila bolje. Ako dva su da se bore i po treći put, Ne vidim razlog da se vjeruje rezultat bi bilo drugačije.

Dakle, gdje je ovo ostaviti Rousey? Po mom mišljenju, ona je očišćena od podjele bantam kategoriji UFC žena. Ne postoji niko ko predstavlja vjerodostojan prijetnju da joj. Ako Zingano podešava strategije i dobili još jednu priliku na Rousey, mogla bi imati priliku za osvajanje. Osim toga, ako Rousey odlučili da izađu na vrhu i izgraditi na nju u procvatu filmsku karijeru, Ne mislim da bi iko držati protiv nje.

Rousey je trenutno na run srodan Anderson Silva run vrhu srednjoj podjelu UFC-a. On je dominirao svi u njegov put, a osim njegova prva borba s Chael Sonnen, napravio da izgleda lako. Najteže borbe Rousey je do sada bio protiv Liz Carmouche, kada je imala Rousey u zadnjem goli ăoka u prvom kolu u svojoj borbi 2013 prije Rousey je uspjela pobjeći i osigurati još jedan armbar pobjede.

Vladavine Silva na vrhu srednjoj došao kraj kada je prethodno nepoznati Chris Weidman došao i nije pokazala strah i uzeo borbi za Silva. Možda je to ono što treba da se desi sa Rousey. Ona mora pronaći protivnika koji će dobiti pravo u lice, joj nema kvartalu te da borbu s njom. Needle koji su pokušali na UFC 184, ali joj je na kraju koštalo overzealousness joj skupo.

Do Rousey pronalazi svoj Chris Weidman, možemo dodati još superlative na mnoge koji su već u prilogu prvak žena bantam: čistač. Rousey is fresh out of worthy challengers to her crown, zadatak je postići čišćenje od njene podjele.

Subota, Februar. 28, is going to be a landmark day for the Ultimate Fighting Championship. All the fighters on the pay-per-view card that day will pass their pre-fight drug…….never mind. That’s too easy.

That day will be the first time a UFC card features women’s bouts in both its co-main event and main event. After middleweight champion Chris Weidman was forced to withdraw from his fight against Vitor Belfort due to injury, the new main event at UFC 184 is Ronda Rousey defending her women’s bantamweight belt against Cat Zingano. U co-main event, much-heralded prospect Holly Holm will make her UFC debut against Raquel Pennington in another women’s bantamweight fight.

As I’ve mentioned before, UFC has come a long way from when Dana White told TMZ that women would “never” fight in his organization. Rousey will main event her third consecutive February PPV and Holm is widely believed to be the next in line for a shot at the title, should she defeat Pennington. Holm is still very raw in mixed martial arts, but trains with the world renowned coaches Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn.

Rousey is carrying the flag for women’s MMA and for women in the UFC. Other female fighters have followed her into the Octagon, including Miesha Tate, Liz Carmouche and Alexis Davis. What do those three have in common? Svi su također pala na Rousey - Tate dva puta u Strikeforce i UFC, i Carmouche i Davis, kako u prvom kolu na UFC PPVs u 2013 i 2014, odnosno.

Rousey i Tate je feud je dobro je opisivao. To je dovelo do dva su trenera na The Ultimate Fighter, koji je uključivao ženski boraca za prvi put, koji u velikoj mjeri outshined svoje muške kolege u emisiji te sezone.

S obzirom da je uspjeh sezone, Najnoviji sezone The Ultimate Fighter istaknuta SVE ženske boraca i debi najnovije podjele na UFC-a, women’s strawweight. Carla Esparza, the former Invicta FC strawweight champion, won the inaugural UFC version of that belt after defeating Rose Namajunas.

So in the span of four years, UFC goes from having no female fighters and White emphatically stating that it never will, to being home to TWO female weight classes and undoubtedly the promotion’s biggest star right now in Rousey. Don’t believe me? Did you see the third Expendables movie? Or do you plan on seeing the film version of Entourage this summer? Možda ćete primijetiti poznato lice.

Pa, gdje ženska MMA otići odavde? Ja sam osobno veliki fan ženskog tuča, kao oni imaju tendenciju da bude među više zabavnih i prepuna akcije borbe na UFC kartici. Kao što sam ranije naveo, ženski borci su više nego sposobni outshining svojih muških savremenicima. Zašto je to tako? Možda žensko borci smatraju da imaju više dokazati unutar Octagon i uvijek ići do kraja. Možda idu u Octagon s više od "ići do kraja" mentalitet i aktivno traže završetak za razliku od "igraju na sigurno."

Borba između Rousey i Zingano on Feb. 28 će ići dug put prema određivanju budućnosti ženskih MMA. Ako Rousey pobjedi Zingano - koje su svi znakovi ukazuju da hoće - ona će u biti očišćena od njene podjele, sa samo nepoznati izazivača kao Holm i Bethe Correia ostalo. Ako je kazaljka vuče uznemireni, onda podjela ima novu turu uzbudljivih Borba čekanja.

But who knows what would have happened if Dana White kept his promise to TMZ?
