BELLATOR MMA IS THE NEW FIGHTING HOME OF WANDERLEI ‘THE AXE MURDERER’ SILVA

Santa Monica (Marts 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 "The Axe Murderer" 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 Årets (2008), and multiple Fight of the Night awards including one for each of his last three fights, bare for at nævne nogle få. 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; Or, 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 og Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvao, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary ogVitaly Minakov,

UFC Fight Night: Det svenske kommer!

I et land, der engang blev populariseret i en Tom Green (husk ham?) sang – “Ensom svensk (Bum Bum Song)” – Ultimate Fighting Championship bringer et Fight Night-kort, der forhåbentlig vil bringe mere opmærksomhed end en sang om en canadiers røv.

Det første FOX-kort i det nye år, UFC Fight Night: Sverige, bringer den nationale scene af FOX i udlandet og giver Amerika et indblik i UFC's igangværende oversøiske ekspansion. Men i modsætning til tidligere UFC oversøiske kort, denne er ikke kort på stjernekraft. Lad os se om et tydeligt nej. 1 udfordrer til Jon Jones 'lette tungvægtstitel dukker op.

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

Dette er en matchup af The Ultimate Fighter alumni, med begge fyre, der taber tabte, og Corassani taber back-to-back-tab til Max Holloway og Dustin Poirier. Corassani er også færdig tidligt i begge kampe, mens Sicilia mister et indgivelsestab. I en overfyldt fjervægtsafdeling, en sejr med knockout eller underkastelse ville gå langt i retning af at øge en af ​​disse herres bestand. Jeg kan godt lide, at Sicilia skal afslutte Corassani og muligvis give ham sine vandrepapir efter tre lige tab.

Vinder: Sicilia ved anden runde TKO

Phil "Hr. Vidunderlige "Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Let tungvægt - 205 lbs.)

Begge disse fyre er klar til endnu et løb øverst i divisionen med let tungvægt. Begge disse fyre kommer ud af sejre og står faktisk over for hinanden på college, da Davis kæmpede for Penn State og Bader kæmpede for Arizona State. Davis bruger sin brydning til at kvæle modstandere og slibe enstemmige beslutningssejre, mens Bader bruger sin brydning, når det er nødvendigt, men også har dødelig knockout-styrke.

Jeg forventer, at Davis prøver at få denne kamp til jorden tidligt, og hvis det lykkes, tror jeg, han kan bruge sin rækkevidde og atletik til at holde Bader nede. Bader skal holde denne kamp stående for at få en chance, og jeg tror, ​​at han vil undgå fristelsen til at hævne sit college-tab for Davis ved at deltage i endnu en brydekamp. Jeg kan godt lide, at Bader lander flere skud og får en forstyrret sejr.

Vinder: Bader ved enstemmig beslutning

Dan “Hendo” Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Mellemvægt - 185 lbs.)

Henderson vender tilbage til mellemvægt efter et stort set dårligt løb i let tungvægt, herunder at blive kastet rundt som en kludedukke og indsendt af Daniel Cormier i hans sidste kamp. Kort fortalt, hvis Henderson ikke kan lande sin patenterede "H-Bomb" højre hånd for en knockout, han er let modtagelig for nederlag.

Jeg tror, ​​at krigen fra tidligere år endelig er ved at indhente Henderson. Han vil gå ned som en af ​​de største krigere nogensinde, der ikke har en UFC-titel, men han kan simpelthen ikke holde trit med sportens elite mere. Han vil lade sig åbne, når han vil droppe H-bomben, og Mousasi vil drage fordel.

Vinder: Mousasi ved indsendelse af tredje runde

Alexander “Mauleren” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Let tungvægt - 205 lbs.)

Vinderen af ​​denne kamp modtager det næste skud på den lette tungvægtsmester Jon Jones, og det ville repræsentere en omkamp for Gustafsson. Han tog Jones tættere på nederlag end nogen anden har gjort under deres episke 2013 matche. Afhængigt af hvem der spørger, nogle mennesker tror, ​​at svensken faktisk vandt kampen.

Johnson stiger hurtigt 205 pund stigen efter at have slået Antonio Rogerio Nogueira ud og scoret en forstyrret sejr over Phil Davis for at begynde sin klatring. Johnson har også ødelæggende knockout-styrke, og hvis han lander et sådant skud på Gustafsson, svenskerens vej til forløsning spores af. Men jeg tror, ​​Gustafsson bruger sin rækkevidde (hvilket er næsten identisk med Jones) at holde Johnson i skak og få Johnson til at gå hele fem runder.

Gustafssons strejke i 205 pund-divisionen er uden sidestykke, og jeg kan godt lide, at han lander nok af dem til at sikre en omkamp med Jones senere på året.

Vinder: Gustafsson ved enstemmig beslutning
