BELLATOR MMA 256: Bader vs. Machida 2 Main Card:
#1-Ryan Bader (28-6, 1 NC) võidetud #4-Lyoto Machida (26-11) via ühehäälse otsusega (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) võidetud Vanessa Porto (22-8) via ühehäälse otsusega (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 ühehäälse otsusega (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

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) võidetud Olivia Parker (4-2) kaudu esitamise (käelukku) juures 2:56 ringi üks
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) võidetud #3-Yamauchi üles (25-5) via split otsuse (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

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.”

Preliminary action will stream onBellator MMA’s YouTube channel. Additional bouts will be announced in the coming days.

A former Bellator light heavyweight world champion, Phil Davis returns to the Bellator cage for the first time since stoppingKarl Albrektsson juuresBellator 231 in October of last year. A four-time NCAA D-I All-American wrestler at Penn State University, "Härra. Wonderful” has earned professional victories over Brian Stann, Alexander Gustafsson, Antonio Rogerio 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 CarvalhojuuresBellator 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 juuresBellator 238 käesoleva aasta alguses, Juan Archuleta will look to capture the promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap. Fighting out of Hesperia, Californias., 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, kerge, 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.20Jaapanis. 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. Nüüd, 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- Cleaner

Jäta kommentaar

Arvestades, et see on maksu hooaja, see on hea aeg meenutada, et on olemas kolm garantiid elu: surm, maksud ja Ronda Rousey taas näitab, miks ta on parim emane võitleja planeedil koos esimese ringi lammutamine tema vastane.

Rousey jõudlust at UFC 184 Eelmisel kuul oli tema parimatest siiani. Ta esitas nõela Kass, üldiselt peetakse Rousey suurim väljakutse, sisse 14 sekundit. Kuigi Rousey soodustas täiesti jube strateegia Zingano, tema virtuoos täitmise viis teiseni arutelu, kellel on, mida ta võtab, et kukutada Rousey. See tõi kaasa ka naeruväärne vestlus, kas Rousey võib võistelda ja võita mees võitlejad UFC on Kääbus sarjalainen jagunemine. Vähem aega kulutada, et absurdne arusaam, et saavutatakse midagi, kuid püüab diskrediteerida suur võitleja Rousey on, parem.

Muidugi, eesnimi, et alati kerkib on Cris "Cyborg" Justino, Invicta FC Höyhensarjalainen meister. Ta peaks langema 135 naela eest võitlema Invicta sel suvel enne liikuma võitlus Rousey. Aga, Cyborg üritanud langust Kääbus sarjalainen eelmisel aastal ja loobus nende plaanide. Nii et ma ei hoia mu hinge on kauaoodatud vimm sobitada Rousey ja Cyborg juhtub igal ajal kiiresti.

Rousey hiljuti avaldanud soovi võidelda Bethe Correia, kes hoobi kaks Rousey on "Neli horsewomen" meeskonnakaaslasi ning on olnud kutsudes Rousey välja ajast. Jessica Eye on ka panustatud oma nõude pealkiri shot, kuid kumbki neist naised kujutavad endast tõelist ohtu Rousey. Ajal UFC 184 on postfight katvus, Daniel Cormier välja mõtte tema kolleeg Miesha Tate saada kolmanda pragu Rousey.

Peale selle, ma arvan trilogies tuleks jätta ainult siis, kui iga võitleja on võidu üle teiste, Ma ei näe põhjust, miks kolmandat korda oleks võlu Tate. Kuigi ta on ainus naine minna kaugemale, kui esimese ringi koos Rousey, Tate on jäänud samaks, nagu võitleja samas Rousey on saanud parema. Kui kaks olid võidelda kolmandat korda, Ma ei näe mingit põhjust arvata, oleks tulemus teistsugune.

Nii et kui see jätta Rousey? Minu arvates, ta on puhastada UFC naiste Kääbus sarjalainen jagunemine. Ei ole kedagi, kes tekitab kindel oht, et tema. Kui Zingano kohandatud tema strateegia ja sai teise tulistas Rousey, ta võib olla võimalus võita. Peale selle, kui Rousey otsustasin minna välja peal ning toetub oma kasvava filmikarjääri, Ma ei usu, et keegi oleks hoidke seda tema vastu.

Rousey on praegu perspektiivis sarnane Anderson Silva run atop UFC on võiduajamine jagunemine. Ta domineerib kõik oma teel, ning välja arvatud tema esimene võitlus Chael Sonnen, pani ta vaevata. Rousey raskeim võitlus kuupäev oli vastu Liz Carmouche, kui ta oli Rousey in taga alasti choke esimeses voorus oma võitlust 2013 enne Rousey oli võimalik põgeneda ning tagada teise käelukku võidu.

Silva valitsemisaeg atop race rajoon lõppes, kui varem tundmatu Chris Weidman tuli mööda ja neil ei olnud hirmu ja võttis võitluses Silva. Ehk see peab juhtuma Rousey. Ta peab leidma vastane, kes saavad otse näo, anna oma armu ja võtta võitlust oma. Needle, mis üritasid at UFC 184, kuid tema overzealousness sattus maksavad oma kallilt.

Kuni Rousey leiab enda Chris Weidman, saame lisada veel ülivõrdes, et paljud, kes juba lisatud naiste Kääbus sarjalainen meister: puhasti. Rousey is fresh out of worthy challengers to her crown, ülesande ta saavutanud puhastamiseks läbi tema jagunemine.

Chris Huntemann kirjutab segatud võitluskunstide Marylandi osariigis. Ta jagab oma mõtteid UFC, Bellator, ja World Series of Fighting. Kontrollige oma blog, või jälgida teda Twitter: mmamaryland.

Laupäev, Veebruar. 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. In koostöö põhiturniiri, 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 ja 2014, vastavalt.

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?
