YR ANGELAU - A plethora of fantastic fighters armed with world-title aspirations have joined the stackedBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burnellcard on Saturday, Mawrth 12. SHOWTIME will televise the mammoth main card live from inside the Family Arena in St. Charles, Mo, yn9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

Former title challenger and No. 2 ranked-John Salter (18-5), as well as undefeated BELLATOR MMA No. 3-rankedJohnny Eblen(10-0), and women’s No. 2 pwysau pluTablau Cathod(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.

Yn y prif ddigwyddiad y noson, Adam Borics (17-1) acMads 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. Yn yr ornest yn cynnwys cyd-, former BELLATOR Light Heavyweight Champion, 13-time BELLATOR veteran, a Na. 2-rankedPhil Davis (23-6, 1 CC) will open his 2022 campaign against No. 4 Julius Anglickas(10-2), who most recently challenged for the 205-pound title. Yn ogystal, the main card will spotlight an international lightweight extravaganza as undefeated New Alliance Jiu-Jitsu team memberJay-Jay Wilson (8-0) of Auckland, Seland Newydd, moves up in weight to meet Dagestan, RwsiaGadzhi Rabadanov(16-4-2), who is coming off a first-round knockout in his promotional debut atBELLATOR MMA 263 ym mis Gorffennaf 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-ranked Austin Vanderford yn BELLATOR MMA 275 later this month in Dublin, Iwerddon.

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 o'i 23 gwrthwynebwyr. 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 272ym mis Rhagfyr 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 gwrthwynebwyr.

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, O., native Zingano against No.7-ranked lightweightPam Sorenson(9-4) of Blaine, O.

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. Yn ddiweddar, “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 mewn UNCASVILLE, Conn.

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

Ymhellach, added toBELLATOR MMA 276: Borics vs. Burnellis a memorable middleweight match pitting undefeated, A oes Ddim yn. 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). Ar ben hynny, 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) o Escondido, Calif.

BELLATOR MMA 256: Bader vs.. Machida 2 Prif Cerdyn:
#1-Ryan Bader (28-6, 1 CC) trechu #4-Lyoto Machida (26-11) drwy benderfyniad unfrydol (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) trechu Vanessa Porto (22-8) drwy benderfyniad unfrydol (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 CC) drwy benderfyniad unfrydol (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] twrnamaint. 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-Tablau Cathod (12-4) trechu Olivia Parker (4-2) drwy gyflwyno (armbar) yn 2:56 o un rownd
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) trechu #3-Yamauchi i fyny (25-5) drwy benderfyniad hollti (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, pŵer, 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.”

Ronda Rousey- Mae'r Cleaner

Credyd Photo: Esther Lin / Ymladd MMA

O ystyried ei fod yn dymor treth, mae'n amser da i gofio bod yno tri gwarantau mewn bywyd: marwolaeth, trethi a Ronda Rousey unwaith eto yn dangos pam mae hi yw'r ymladdwr benywaidd gorau ar y blaned gyda dymchwel-rownd cyntaf ei wrthwynebydd.

Perfformiad Rousey yn UFC 184 y mis diwethaf oedd ei gorau hyd yn hyn. Mae hi'n cyflwyno Cat nodwydd, ystyried yn eang fel her fwyaf Rousey yn, mewn 14 eiliad. Tra Rousey ei gynorthwyo gan strategaeth hollol erchyll gan Zingano, dan arweiniad ei pherfformiad penigamp i drafodaeth arall o pwy sydd yr hyn y mae'n ei gymryd i dethrone Rousey. Mae hefyd yn arwain at sgwrs chwerthinllyd o ai peidio Rousey ellid gystadlu yn erbyn a threchu diffoddwyr gwrywaidd yn is-adran Pwysau Bantam y UFC yn. Mae'r llai o amser a dreulir ar y syniad hurt sy'n accomplishes dim ond yn ceisio anfri ar y ymladdwr mawr Rousey yn, y gorau.

Wrth gwrs, yr enw cyntaf sydd bob amser yn dod i fyny yn Cris "Cyborg" Justino, y pencampwr pwysau plu Invicta CC. Disgwylir iddi alw heibio i 135 pounds am ymladd gyda Invicta yr haf hwn cyn symud ymlaen i ymladd gyda Rousey. Fodd bynnag, Ceisiodd Cyborg cwymp i Pwysau Bantam y llynedd ac wedi'u gadael cynlluniau hynny. Felly ni fyddwn yn dal fy anadl ar y gêm dal dig yn hir-ddisgwyliedig rhwng Rousey a Cyborg digwydd ar unrhyw adeg cyn bo hir.

Yn ddiweddar, mynegodd Rousey awydd i ymladd Bethe Correia, a cytew dau o teammates Rousey yw "Four Horsewomen" ac wedi bod galw Rousey allan byth ers hynny. Jessica Eye hefyd wedi staked ei hawliad i ergyd teitl, ond nid yw'r un o'r menywod hyn yn fygythiad gwirioneddol i Rousey. Yn ystod sylw postfight UFC 184 yn, Arnofio Daniel Cormier y syniad o ei gydweithiwr Miesha Tate cael trydydd crac yn Rousey.

Heblaw am y ffaith Rwy'n credu y dylai trilogies eu cadw dim ond pan fydd pob ymladdwr Mae gan fuddugoliaeth dros y llall, Ni welaf unrhyw reswm pam y byddai trydydd tro yn swyn i Tate. Tra hi yw'r unig ferch i fynd ymhellach na'r rownd gyntaf gyda Rousey, Tate wedi lefelu fel diffoddwr tra Rousey wedi gotten yn well. Os bydd y ddau yn ymladd am y trydydd tro, Ni welaf unrhyw reswm dros gredu y byddai'r canlyniad fod yn wahanol.

Felly, lle mae hyn yn gadael Rousey? Yn fy marn i, mae hi wedi ei glanhau allan is-adran Pwysau Bantam y merched UFC yn. Nid oes unrhyw un sydd yn fygythiad credadwy iddi. Os Zingano haddasu ei strategaeth a'i derbyniodd ergyd arall yn Rousey, gallai hi gael cyfle i ennill. Tu hwnt i hynny, os Rousey penderfynu mynd allan ar ei ben ac yn adeiladu ar ei gyrfa ffilm cynyddol, Nid wyf yn credu y byddai unrhyw un ddal yn erbyn ei.

Rousey ar hyn o bryd ar rhediad debyg i redeg Anderson Silva yn is-adran ar ben canol y UFC yn. Roedd yn dominyddu pawb yn ei lwybr ac eithrio ar gyfer ei frwydr gyntaf gyda Chael Sonnen, ei gwneud yn edrych yn hawdd. Frwydr anoddaf Rousey hyd yma oedd yn erbyn Liz Carmouche, pan oedd ganddi Rousey mewn cefn tagu noeth yn y rownd gyntaf eu brwydr yn 2013 cyn Rousey yn gallu dianc a sicrhau buddugoliaeth armbar arall.

Daeth teyrnasiad Silva yn ben yr is-adran canol i ben pan ddaeth yr anhysbys yn flaenorol Chris WEIDMAN draw yn dangos dim ofn a gymerodd y frwydr i Silva. Efallai dyna beth mae angen iddo ddigwydd gyda Rousey. Mae hi angen i ddod o hyd i gwrthwynebydd a fydd yn cael yn iawn yn ei hwyneb, rhoi unrhyw chwarter iddi ac yn cymryd y frwydr iddi. Nodwyddau a geisiodd yn UFC 184, ond mae ei overzealousness a ddaeth i ben i fyny gostio iddi ddrud.

Tan Rousey yn canfod ei Chris WEIDMAN hun, gallwn ychwanegu radd eithaf arall at y nifer sydd eisoes ynghlwm wrth pencampwr Pwysau Bantam y merched: glanach. Rousey is fresh out of worthy challengers to her crown, tasg hi gyflawni drwy lanhau allan ei is-adran.

Dydd Sadwrn, Chwefror. 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. Yn y digwyddiad cyd-main, 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 ac 2014, yn y drefn honno.

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.

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