ANG ANGHEL - A plethora of fantastic fighters armed with world-title aspirations have joined the stackedBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burnellcard on Saturday, Marso 12. SHOWTIME will televise the mammoth main card live from inside the Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo., sa9 sa gabii. ET / 6 hapon. PT.

Former title challenger and No. 2 ika--Juan Salter (18-5), as well as undefeated BELLATOR MMA No. 3-ika-Johnny Eblen(10-0), and women’s No. 2 featherweightCat Zingano(12-4) hope to take the next step toward BELLATOR MMA gold as they join the four co-headline brawlers currently ranked among the upper echelon of their respective divisions.

Featured among the magnificent MMA melees will be three of the top-ten middleweights, five undefeated and one unblemished amateur, four top-two contenders, and ten fighters ranked along with BELLATOR MMA’s elite.

Sa main event sa gabii, Adam Borics (17-1) ugMads Burnell(16-3), two featherweights currently tied at No. 2 in the official BELLATOR MMA rankings, will square off for a future shot at the BELLATOR 145-pound world title. Sa co-bahin away, former BELLATOR Light Heavyweight Champion, 13-time BELLATOR veteran, ug ang No. 2-ika-Phil Davis (23-6, 1 NC) will open his 2022 campaign against No. 4 Julius Anglickas(10-2), who most recently challenged for the 205-pound title. Dugang pa, the main card will spotlight an international lightweight extravaganza as undefeated New Alliance Jiu-Jitsu team memberJay-Jay Wilson (8-0) of Auckland, New Zealand, moves up in weight to meet Dagestan, Russia saGadzhi Rabadanov(16-4-2), who is coming off a first-round knockout in his promotional debut atBELLATOR MMA 263 sa Hulyo 2021.

Prior to the consequential co-featured contests, a pair of top middleweights will round out the main card as Salter and Eblen square off for a shot at the winner of the upcoming world title bout pitting 185-pound Champion Gegard Mousasi against No. 1-ika- Austin Vanderford sa BELLATOR MMA 275 later this month in Dublin, Ireland.

Armed with an 8-2 BELLATOR record, Salter, a 15-year pro MMA veteran out of Nashville, Tenn., holds the promotional record for most submissions in BELLATOR MMA middleweight history, and has stopped 17 sa iyang 23 kaaway. Nicknamed “Diamond Hands” due to his love for crypto currency and willingness to hold onto his investments, Eblen is coming off a 71-second annihilation of Collin Huckbody atBELLATOR MMA 272sa Disyembre 2021. The six-time BELLATOR MMA veteran and American Top-Team product, who recently signed a six-fight BELLATOR contract extension, has secured six opening-round stoppages, including two of his three 2021 kaaway.

In addition to the magnificent main card, a veritable cornucopia of pulsating preliminary punch ups will commence the preeminent night of action, including a Minnesota midwestern melee pitting former UFC title challenger and Winona, Gikan sa., native Zingano against No.7-ranked lightweightPam Sorenson(9-4) of Blaine, Gikan sa.

Set to make her third straight BELLATOR MMA appearance with aspirations of challenging BELLATOR MMA Women’s Welterweight World ChampionCris Cyborg, Zingano has had a decorated fighting career. The former NCAA Division III All-American wrestler became the first mother to compete in the UFC and initial woman to capture the company’s “Fight of the Night” award, counting victories over Miesha Tate, Amanda Nunes, Marion Reneau, and Gabrielle Holloway. Bag-ohay lang, “Alpha” was featured in the series “Double Duty” that chronicled the attempts to maintain a balance between the daily responsibilities of parenthood and earning a living as a pro athlete.

A former Invicta FC women’s featherweight champion, Sorenson started kickboxing after the passing of her best friend. After vacating her crown and requesting a release from Invicta in July 2021, the Minneapolis mauler signed a multi-fight deal with BELLATOR MMA in mid-2021. Soon after joining the pioneering company, the 35-year-old recorded a hard-fought split decision over Roberta Samad atBELLATOR MMA 264 sa Uncasville, Conn.

Also featured will be a bruising brawl pitting two hard-hitting heavyweights with seven career stoppages apiece as No. 8-ika-Alex “Eazy” Polizzi (9-1) of Madison, Wisc., clashes with Team Pitbull’sJose “Guru” Augusto (7-3, 1 NC). Dugang pa, San Diego, Calif. lumad, 11-time BELLATOR MMA veteran, ug ang No. 6-ika-“Barbaric” Derek Anderson(17-4, 1 NC) will mix it up with submission specialist, BELLATOR Brazilian bruiser, and Japanese-bornGoiti Yamaguchi (26-5), in a worldwide welterweight war.

Dugang pa, added toBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burnellis a memorable middleweight match pitting undefeated, Buhata Dili. 6-ranked 185-pounder and owner of three consecutive stoppagesRomero Cotton (5-0) of Hutchinson, Kansas, who will bravely battle the horrors of“The Boogeyman” Lance Wright (5-2). Labut pa, former Division II All-American wrestler and fantastic featherweightCody Law(5-0), fresh off his third opening-round finish, strives to avoid being scared off by“Phantom” Johnny Soto (5-2) sa Escondido, Calif.

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.”

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.”

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.

A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingKarl Albrektsson saBellator 231 in October of last year. A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "Mr. 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 CarvalhosaBellator 213and would later go on to defeat the now-retiredGuel Sonneninside the famed Madison Square Garden atBellator 222.

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.20sa Japan. 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.

Ronda Rousey- Ang maglilinis

Leave sa usa ka comment


Photo Credit: Ester Lin / MMA Fighting

Tungod nga kini tax panahon, kini usa ka maayo nga panahon sa hinumdumi nga anaa sa tulo ka garantiya sa kinabuhi: kamatayon, buhis ug Ronda Rousey sa makausa pag-usab sa pagpakita nga siya mao ang labing maayo nga mga babaye nga fighter sa planeta uban sa usa ka una nga-round demolisyon sa iyang kontra.

Rousey pasundayag sa UFC 184 sa miaging bulan mao ang iyang labing maayo nga sa petsa. Siya gisumiter sa usa ka dagum Cat, kaylap nga giisip nga Rousey sa pinakadako nga hagit, sa 14 seconds. Samtang Rousey si inabagan sa usa ka hingpit nga makalilisang nga estratehiya sa Zingano, iyang virtuoso performance nga gipangulohan sa usa panaghisgutan sa nga adunay kon unsa ang gikinahanglan aron sa pagpapahawa sa trono Rousey. Kini usab ngadto sa usa ka kataw-anan nga panag-istoryahanay sa ba o dili Rousey makigkompetinsya batok ug kapildihan nga lalake manggugubat sa UFC sa bantamweight division. Ang dili kaayo panahon nga gigahin sa nga binuang nga ideya nga makatuman sa bisan unsa kondili sa pagsulay sa pagdaot sa dakong fighter Rousey mao ang, ang mas maayo.

Siyempre, ang unang ngalan nga sa kanunay moabut sa mao Cris "cyborg" Justino, ang II FC featherweight champion. Siya gilauman nga drop sa 135 mobanlas alang sa usa ka away uban sa II niining ting-init sa wala pa mobalhin ngadto sa usa ka away uban sa Rousey. Apan, Cyborg misulay sa usa ka tinulo sa bantamweight sa miaging tuig ug gibiyaan nga mga plano. Busa ako dili pagpugong sa akong gininhawa sa dugay nang gihulat nga kasuko match tali sa Rousey ug cyborg nahitabo bisan kanus-a sa dili madugay.

Rousey bag-o lang mipadayag sa usa ka tinguha sa pagpakig-away Bethe Correia, nga dinagmalan duha sa Rousey sa "Upat ka Horsewomen" mga kauban sa team ug nga sa pagtawag sa Rousey sa walay katapusan sukad sa. Jessica Eye usab gibutang sa iyang pangangkon sa usa ka titulo shot, apan wala bisan sa niini nga mga babaye pose sa usa ka tinuod nga hulga sa Rousey. Atol sa UFC 184 sa postfight coverage, Daniel Cormier milutaw sa ideya sa iyang kauban sa trabaho Miesha Tate pagkuha sa usa ka ikatulo nga liki sa Rousey.

Gawas pa sa kamatuoran sa akong hunahuna trilogies kinahanglan nga itagana lamang sa diha nga ang matag fighter nga adunay usa ka kadaugan ibabaw sa uban nga mga, Nakita ko nga dili rason ngano nga ikatulo nga higayon mahimo nga usa ka anting-anting alang sa Tate. Samtang siya mao lamang ang babaye sa pag-adto sa dugang pa kay sa unang round sa Rousey, Tate nga plateaued ingon sa usa ka fighter samtang Rousey nga nakuha sa mas maayo. Kon ang duha ka mga sa pagpakig-away sa usa ka ikatulo nga panahon, Nakita ko nga dili rason sa pagtuo ang resulta nga sa bisan unsa nga lain-laing mga.

Busa diin nga paagi kini mobiya sa Rousey? Sa akong opinyon, siya gilimpyohan ang UFC mga babaye sa bantamweight division. Walay usa nga naghatag og usa ka katuohan nga hulga sa iyang mga. Kon Zingano adjust sa iyang pamaagi ug nakadawat og laing shot sa Rousey, siya unta makaangkon og usa ka higayon sa pagkab-ot. Gawas niana, kon Rousey nakahukom sa pag-adto sa ibabaw ug sa pagtukod sa iyang nagkadako nga film career, Sa akong hunahuna wala bisan kinsa nga kini batok sa iyang.

Rousey karon sa usa ka run susama sa Anderson Silva ni run ibabaw sa UFC sa middleweight division. Siya nagmando sa tanan nga diha sa iyang dalan ug gawas alang sa iyang unang away sa Chael Sonnen, nakapahimo niini nga tan-awon sayon. Rousey ni pinakalisud away sa petsa batok Liz Carmouche, sa diha nga siya may Rousey sa usa ka likod nga hubo choke sa unang round sa ilang away sa 2013 sa atubangan sa Rousey nakahimo sa pag-ikyas ug pagsiguro sa usa armbar kadaugan.

Silva sa paghari ni ibabaw sa middleweight division nga miabut sa usa ka katapusan sa diha nga ang kaniadto wala mailhi Chris Weidman miabut ug nagpakita nga walay kahadlok ug gikuha niya ang away ngadto sa Silva. Tingali nga ang kinahanglan nga mahitabo uban sa Rousey. Siya kinahanglan sa pagpangita sa usa ka kontra nga pagkuha sa matarung diha sa iyang nawong, sa paghatag sa iyang walay dapit ug sa pagkuha sa away sa iyang. Dagum nga misulay sa UFC 184, apan ang iyang overzealousness natapos sa nagkantidad sa iyang minahal.

Hangtud Rousey makakaplag sa iyang kaugalingon nga Chris Weidman, kita makadugang sa usa kinalabwang sa daghan nga na gilakip sa mga babaye sa bantamweight champion: maglilinis. Labing bag-o si Rousey sa mga takus nga naghagit sa iyang korona, usa ka tahas nga iyang natuman pinaagi sa paglimpyo sa sa iyang division.

Sabado, Feb. 28, mahimong usa ka mohon sa yuta nga adlaw alang sa Ultimate Fighting Championship. Ang tanan nga mga manggugubat sa pay-per-view card nga adlaw moagi sa ilang mga pre-away drug ...... .never hunahuna. Mao kana sayon ​​ra kaayo.

Nga adlaw mao ang unang higayon nga ang usa ka UFC card nagpakita sa mga babaye sa mga away sa duha sa iyang mga co-main event ug 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. Sa 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? They all also fell to Rousey – Tate twice in Strikeforce and the UFC, and Carmouche and Davis both in the first round at UFC PPVs in 2013 ug 2014, sa tinagsa.

Rousey and Tate’s feud is well-chronicled. It led to the two being coaches on The Ultimate Fighter, which included female fighters for the very first time who greatly outshined their male counterparts on the show that season.

Given that season’s success, the most recent season of The Ultimate Fighter featured ALL female fighters and the debut of the UFC’s newest division, 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? You might notice a familiar face.

So where does women’s MMA go from here? I am personally a big fan of female fights, as they tend to be among the more entertaining and action-packed fights on a UFC card. As I previously stated, female fighters are more than capable of outshining their male contemporaries. Why is that? Maybe female fighters feel they have more to prove inside the Octagon and always go for broke. Maybe they go into the Octagon with more of a “go for broke” mentality and actively seek a finish as opposed to “playing it safe.”

The fight between Rousey and Zingano on Feb. 28 will also go a long way toward determining the future of women’s MMA. Should Rousey defeat Zingano – which all signs indicate she will – she will have essentially cleaned out her division, with only unknown challengers like Holm and Bethe Correia left. If Zingano pulls the upset, then the division has a fresh batch of exciting matchups waiting.

Apan kinsa ang nahibalo kon unsa unta ang mahitabo kon Dana White sa iyang mga saad ngadto sa TMZ?
