Bellator President Scott Coker and Wanderlei Silva (Krediet: Bellator / Lucas Noonan)

 

SANTA MONICA (Maart 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA is pleased to announce that one of the most popular, recognizable and beloved fighters in the sport of mixed martial arts, Wanderlei "Die Byl Moordenaar" Silva (35-12-1), has signed an exclusive multi-year, multi-fight contract with the promotion. The 39-year-old publicly fielded offers from companies all around the world, but the former Pride FC Middleweight Champion made the decision to take his explosive style to Bellator MMA.

 

“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell, and Michael Bisping are the stuff of legend – but Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career.

 

In addition to his Pride FC Middleweight World Championship, Silva’s packed trophy case of accolades includes awards for Fight of the Year (2003, 2004, 2007), KO van die Jaar (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, just to name a few. He now looks to continue to provide his award-winning, entertaining fights inside the Bellator cage.

 

Silva has several options for his first fight with Bellator. Although he has spent the majority of his career at 185-pounds, one of the things that his fans love most about him has been Wanderlei’s willingness to fight the best of the best – even if it was up two weight classes at heavyweight – as proven by his heavyweight wars against guys like Mark Hunt, Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita and Cro Cop; Of, his battles against light heavyweights like Ortiz, and his most recent opponent, Brian Stann, who he knocked out in the second frame.

 

Silva is the latest in a long line of recent free agent signings made by Scott Coker and Bellator MMA. The former Chute Box competitor joins: Josh Thomson, Phil Davis, Benson Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov en Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvao, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary enVitaly Minakov,

UFC Fight Night: Die Sweedse Is Coming!

In 'n land wat eens gewild in 'n Tom Green (onthou hom?) lied – "Lonely Sweedse (Die Bum Bum Song)” – die Ultimate Fighting Championship bring 'n Fight Night kaart wat hopelik meer aandag bring as 'n lied oor 'n Kanadese se gat.

Die eerste FOX kaart van die nuwe jaar, UFC Fight Night: Swede, bring die nasionale stadium van FOX oorsee en gee Amerika 'n kykie in die UFC se voortgesette oorsese uitbreiding. Maar in teenstelling met die vorige UFC oorsese kaarte, hierdie een is nie kort op sterre krag. Kom ons kyk of 'n duidelike geen. 1 aanspraakmaker Jon Jones se ligswaargewig-titel sal kom.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) vs. Sam Sicilia (13-5) (Veergewigtitel - 145 lbs.)

Dit is 'n matchup van The Ultimate Fighter alumni, met beide ouens kom uit verliese en Corassani kom af rug-aan-rug verliese te Max Holloway en Dustin Poirier. Corassani is ook vroeg in beide gevegte klaar, terwyl Sicilia kom uit 'n voorlegging verlies. In 'n stampvol veergewigtitel afdeling, 'n uitklophou of voorlegging oorwinning sou 'n lang pad gaan na die bevordering van een van hierdie here se voorraad. Ek hou van Sicilia Corassani te voltooi en moontlik gee hom sy loop vraestelle na drie reguit verliese.

Wenner: Sicilia deur tweede ronde TKO

Phil "het mnr. Wonderful "Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan "Darth" Bader (19-4) (Ligswaargewig - 205 lbs.)

Beide van hierdie ouens is gereed vir nog 'n kans op die top van die lig swaargewig-afdeling. Beide van hierdie ouens af kom oorwinnings en eintlik teenoor mekaar in die kollege toe Davis geworstel vir Penn State en Bader geworstel vir Arizona State. Davis gebruik sy stoei teenstanders te smoor en slyp eenparige besluit oorwinnings, terwyl Bader gebruik sy stoei waar nodig, maar ook 'n dodelike uitklophou krag.

Ek verwag Davis om te probeer en kry hierdie stryd op die grond vroeë, en as hy daarin slaag ek dink hy kan sy bereik voordeel en atleties gebruik Bader te hou. Bader moet hierdie stryd hou staan ​​'n kans om te hê, and I think he will avoid the temptation to avenge his college loss to Davis by engaging in another wrestling match. Ek hou van Bader meer skote op die land en die telling 'n omgekrapte oorwinning.

Wenner: Bader deur 'n eenparige besluit

En "hendo" Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Middelgewigtitel - 185 lbs.)

Henderson terug na middelgewigtitel na 'n meestal noodlottig loop op ligswaargewig, insluitend geteister rond soos 'n lappop en deur Daniel Cormier voorgelê in sy laaste stryd. Eenvoudig gestel, As Henderson kan nie sy gepatenteerde "H-bom" regterhand vir 'n uitklophou land, hy is maklik vatbaar te verslaan.

Ek dink die oorloë van die afgelope jare is uiteindelik inhaal Henderson. Hy sal onthou word as een van die grootste vegters ooit nie 'n UFC titel te hou, maar hy eenvoudig nie kan tred hou met die sport se elite meer. Hy sal laat homself oopmaak wanneer wil die H-bom te laat val, en Mousasi sal voordeel trek.

Wenner: Mousasi deur derde ronde voorlegging

Alexander "Die Mauler" Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony "Rumble" Johnson (18-4) (Ligswaargewig - 205 lbs.)

Die wenner van hierdie stryd sal die volgende skoot ontvang by ligswaargewig-kampioen Jon Jones, en dit sal 'n herontmoeting vir Gustafsson verteenwoordig. Hy het Jones nader te verslaan as enigiemand anders het tydens hul epiese 2013 matchup. Afhangende van wat vra, sommige mense dink die Swede eintlik daardie stryd gewen.

Johnson is vinnig stygende die 205-pond leer na die klop van Antonio Rogerio Nogueira en scoring 'n verrassende oorwinning oor Phil Davis sy klim om te begin. Johnson het ook verwoestende uitklophou krag en as hy land een so geskiet op Gustafsson, Die Sweed se pad na verlossing is ontspoor. Maar ek dink Gustafsson gebruik sy bereik voordeel (wat byna identies aan Jones) Johnson te hou by die baai en maak Johnson gaan 'n volle vyf rondes.

Gustafsson se treffende in die 205-pond-afdeling is vir niemand, en ek hou hom genoeg van daardie te land 'n herontmoeting met Jones te verseker later vanjaar.

Wenner: Gustafsson deur 'n eenparige besluit
