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

Jäta kommentaar

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

 

Santa Monica (Märts 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 mõrvar" 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 Aasta (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; 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 ja Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvao, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrei Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary jaVitali Minakov,

UFC Fight Night: Rootslased tulevad!

Jäta kommentaar

Kunagi Tom Greenis populaarsemaks saanud maal (mäleta teda?) laul – “Üksildane rootslane (Bum Bumi laul)” – Ultimate Fighting Championship toob Fight Night kaardi, mis loodetavasti toob rohkem tähelepanu kui lugu Kanada tagumikust.

Uue aasta esimene FOX-kaart, UFC Fight Night: Rootsi, toob FOX-i riikliku etapi ülemeremaadesse ja annab Ameerikale ülevaate UFC jätkuvast ülemeremaade laienemisest. Kuid erinevalt varasematest UFC ülemerekaartidest, see pole tähevõimsusel lühike. Vaatame, kas selgepiiriline ei. 1 Selgub pretendent Jon Jonesi kergekaalu tiitlile.

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

See on The Ultimate Fighteri vilistlaste kokkulangevus, mõlemad poisid kaotavad kaotused ja Corassani hüppavad Max Hollowayle ja Dustin Poirierile. Corassani on ka mõlemas võitluses varakult lõppenud, samas kui Sicilia on kaotamas esitamise kaotuse. Rahvarohkes sulejoonis, väljaviskamis- või esitamisvõit aitaks kummagi nende härraste varude suurendamise suunas kaugele jõuda. Mulle meeldib, et Sicilia lõpetab Corassani ja võib-olla annab talle pärast kolme sirget kaotust oma kõndimispaberid.

Võitja: Sitsiilia teise ringi TKO poolt

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Kerge raskekaal - 205 lbs.)

Mõlemad tüübid on valmis veel üheks kergejõustiku divisjoni tipus sõitmiseks. Mõlemad tüübid on võitmas ja näevad üksteisega vastamisi kolledžis, kui Davis maadles Penni osariigi nimel ja Bader maadles Arizona osariigi nimel. Davis kasutab oma maadlust vastaste lämmatamiseks ja ühehäälsete võitude jahvatamiseks, Bader kasutab oma maadlust vajadusel, kuid tal on ka surmav löögivõime.

Ma loodan, et Davis proovib selle võitluse varakult maale viia, ja kui tal see õnnestub, siis arvan, et saab Baderit madalamal hoidmiseks kasutada oma eelise ja sportlikkuse. Bader peab selle võitluse alal hoidma, et tal võimalus oleks, ja ma arvan, et ta väldib kiusatust kätte maksta Davisile oma kolledži kaotuse eest, hakates osalema teises maadlusmatšis. Mulle meeldib, et Bader maandub rohkem kaadreid ja kogub häiritud võitu.

Võitja: Bader ühehäälse otsusega

Ja "Hendo" Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Keskmine kaal - 185 lbs.)

Henderson naaseb keskmisesse raskusesse pärast enamasti halbade raskustega kergejõustikujooksu, sealhulgas visatakse ümber nagu kaltsunukk ja esitas Daniel Cormier oma viimases võitluses. Lihtsamalt öeldes, kui Henderson ei saa oma patenteeritud “H-pommi” paremat kätt maha lüüa, ta on kergesti võimeline lüüasaamist.

Ma arvan, et möödunud aastate sõjad on Hendersonile lõpuks järele jõudnud. Ta langeb kui üks suurimaid võitlejaid, kes pole kunagi UFC tiitlit omanud, kuid ta lihtsalt ei suuda enam spordi eliidiga sammu pidada. H-pommi maha laskmiseks jätab ta end lahti, ja Mousasi kasutab seda ära.

Võitja: Mousasi kolmanda vooru esitamise teel

Aleksander “Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Kerge raskekaal - 205 lbs.)

Selle võitluse võitja saab järgmise võidu kergekaalu meistril Jon Jonesil, ja see tähendaks Gustafssoni kordusmatši. Ta viis Jonesi lüüasaamisele lähemale kui keegi teine ​​nende eepose ajal on 2013 matchup. Sõltuvalt sellest, kes küsib, Mõne inimese arvates võitis rootslane selle võitluse.

Johnson tõuseb kiiresti pärast 205-naelset redelit pärast Antonio Rogerio Nogueira välja löömist ja Phil Davise üle nurjatud võidu saavutamist, et tema ronimist alustada. Johnsonil on ka laastav koputusvõim ja kui ta maandub ühe sellise lasku Gustafssoni peale, rootslase tee lunastuseni on rööbastelt maha võetud. Kuid ma arvan, et Gustafsson kasutab oma haarde eelist (mis on peaaegu identne Jonesiga) hoida Johnson vaikselt ja panna Johnson minema tervelt viis ringi.

Gustafssoni löömine 205-naelses divisjonis on ületamatu, ja mulle meeldib, et ta maandub piisavalt palju, et sel aastal Jonesiga kordusmatš saada.

Võitja: Gustafsson ühehäälse otsusega
