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

 

SANTA MONICA (Mac 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 "mengamuk" 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 Tahun (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 dan Anastasia Yankova on a roster with champions the likes of: Marcos Galvão, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary danVitaly Minakov,

UFC Fight Night: The Sweden Adakah Bakal!

Di negeri yang pernah dipopularkan dalam Tom Green (ingat dia?) lagu – "Lonely Sweden (The Bum Bum Song)” – Kejohanan Pertempuran Ultimate membawa kad Malam Fight yang diharapkan akan membawa perhatian lebih daripada sebuah lagu tentang keldai yang Kanada.

Kad FOX pertama tahun baru, UFC Fight Night: Sweden, membawa peringkat kebangsaan FOX luar negara dan memberikan Amerika sekilas ke pengembangan berterusan UFC di luar negara. Tetapi tidak seperti sebelumnya kad luar negara UFC, satu ini tidak kekurangan kuasa bintang. Mari kita lihat jika yang jelas-potong tidak. 1 pesaing untuk gelaran heavyweight cahaya Jon Jones 'akan muncul.

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

Ini adalah matchup The Ultimate Fighter alumni, dengan kedua-dua lelaki datang dari kerugian dan Corassani datang dari belakang-ke-belakang kerugian kepada Max Holloway dan Dustin Poirier. Corassani ini turut selesai awal dalam pergaduhan, manakala Sicilia adalah datang dari kerugian penyerahan. Dalam satu bahagian kelas bulu sesak, yang kalah mati atau penyerahan kemenangan akan pergi jauh ke arah meningkatkan sama ada stok ini puan-puan. Saya suka Sicilia untuk menyelesaikan Corassani dan mungkin memberi kertas berjalan kaki selepas tiga kekalahan berturut-turut.

Pemenang: Sicilia oleh TKO pusingan kedua

Phil "Encik. Wonderful "Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan "Darth" Bader (19-4) (Light Heavyweight - 205 lbs.)

Kedua-dua lelaki ini bersedia untuk jangka satu lagi di bahagian atas bahagian kelas berat ringan. Kedua-dua lelaki ini datang dari kemenangan dan sebenarnya berhadapan satu sama lain di kolej apabila Davis bergulat untuk Penn Negeri dan Bader bergulat untuk Negeri Arizona. Davis menggunakan gusti beliau untuk memadamkan lawan dan menggilas kemenangan keputusan sebulat suara, manakala Bader menggunakan gusti apabila perlu tetapi juga mempunyai kuasa kalah mati maut.

Saya menjangkakan Davis untuk cuba mendapatkan perjuangan ini ke tanah awal, dan jika dia berjaya saya fikir dia boleh menggunakan kelebihan jangkauannya dan athleticism untuk menjaga Bader turun. Bader mesti menyimpan perjuangan ini ada mempunyai peluang yang, dan saya fikir dia akan mengelakkan godaan untuk membalas dendam kehilangan kolej untuk Davis dengan melibatkan diri dalam satu lagi perlawanan gusti. Saya suka Bader dengan tanah lebih pukulan dan skor kemenangan kecewa.

Pemenang: Bader dengan keputusan sebulat suara

Dan "Hendo" Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Middleweight - 185 lbs.)

Henderson kembali ke middleweight selepas jangka kebanyakannya malang di kelas berat ringan, termasuk dilambung sekitar seperti anak patung kain buruk dan diserahkan oleh Daniel Cormier dalam perjuangan terakhir. Ringkasnya, jika Henderson tidak boleh mendarat dipatenkan "H-Bomb" tangan kanannya untuk kalah mati ', dia mudah terdedah untuk mengalahkan.

Saya fikir perang-perang tahun lalu akhirnya menangkap sehingga Henderson. Beliau akan turun sebagai salah satu pejuang yang pernah tidak tahan tajuk UFC, tetapi dia hanya tidak boleh bersaing dengan elit sukan lagi. Beliau akan meninggalkan dirinya membuka apabila mahu menggugurkan H-Bomb, dan Mousasi akan mengambil kesempatan.

Pemenang: Mousasi oleh penyerahan pusingan ketiga

Alexander "The peninju" Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony "gemuruh" Johnson (18-4) (Light Heavyweight - 205 lbs.)

Pemenang perjuangan ini akan menerima pukulan berikutnya pada cahaya juara heavyweight Jon Jones, dan ia akan mewakili rematch untuk Gustafsson. Beliau mengambil Jones lebih dekat untuk mengalahkan daripada orang lain mempunyai dalam epik mereka 2013 matchup. Bergantung kepada yang meminta, sesetengah orang fikir Sweden sebenarnya memenangi perjuangan yang.

Johnson cepat naik tangga 205-paun selepas mengetuk keluar Antonio Rogério Nogueira dan menjaringkan kemenangan sedih atas Phil Davis untuk memulakan pendakian beliau. Johnson juga mempunyai kuasa kalah mati yang amat buruk dan jika dia tanah satu pukulan itu pada Gustafsson, jalan Sweden untuk penebusan tergelincir. Tetapi saya fikir Gustafsson menggunakan kelebihan jangkauannya (yang hampir sama dengan Jones) untuk menjaga Johnson di teluk dan membuat Johnson pergi penuh lima pusingan.

Menarik Gustafsson dalam bahagian 205-paun yang tiada tandingannya, dan saya suka dia dari orang-orang yang cukup tanah untuk mengamankan perlawanan semula dengan Jones pada akhir tahun ini.

Pemenang: Gustafsson dengan keputusan sebulat suara
