C-Sergio Pettis (22-5) voitti Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4) kautta KO (pyörivä nyrkki) at 3:24 of round four

Sergio Pettis: – Tulin tänne ja minua hakattiin neljä kierrosta. Milloin se tapahtui, Olin ihan kuin, 'Mies, häviän tämän taistelun. Minun on tehtävä jotain mahtavaa.' Se (ratkaiseva lyönti, joka päätti taistelun) tuli oikeaan aikaan."

"Minun piti kohdata vastoinkäymisiä, ja tänä iltana Horiguchi antoi minulle kaiken sen. Oli vaikea yrittää ajoittaa hänen rytmiään, yrittää saada liikettä alas."

"Valmentajani kertovat minulle aina, 'Jos avaat, voisit olla yksi maailman parhaista." Sitä minä pyrin."

#9-Jeremy Kennedy (17-3, 1 NC) voitti #4-Emmanuel Sanchez (20-7) kautta yksimielinen päätös (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Jeremy Kennedy: "En näytä löytävän sitä. Valmentajani vihasivat minulle viimeisessä taistelussani. Minulla on atomipommi. Näin valmentajani sanoi. Se on 100 mailia (tunnissa) pikapallo. minun täytyy käyttää sitä. Viimeinen taistelu, En. Halusin kokeilla ja sekoittaa sitä, muuta tyyliäni. Olin kilpailukykyinen, mutta minun piti palata juurilleni."

”Olisin halunnut sekoittaa sitä hieman enemmän, mutta (Emmanuel) Sanchez on kasvoillasi koko ajan. Oli vaikea sanella tuota laskettua aluetta. Hän tuli juuri minulle."

”Asetin itselleni paljon paineita. Minulle kuoli läheinen ystävä. Hän oli nurkassani muutaman viime taisteluni aikana. En halunnut mennä kotiin tappiolla. En halunnut ottaa ylimääräistä mahdollisuutta. Halusin voittaa jokaisen vaihdon. Halusin voittaa joka sekunti, tämän taistelun joka hetki. En välittänyt miltä se näytti. Minun piti saada "w."

"Seuraavalla kerralla, Aion palata hauskanpitoon ja löytää sen onnellisen välineen. Tämä on Boomille. Minun täytyi nostaa käteni hinnalla millä hyvänsä. En päässyt tästä ilman voittoa."

#7-Josh Hill (21-4) voitti Jared Scoggins (10-2) kautta KO (booli) at :56 kierroksen kaksi

Josh Hill: "Tässä oli kyse ajoituksesta. Tiesimme, että ensimmäisellä kierroksella olisi vaikea saada sitä ajoitusta alas. Hän (Jared Scoggins) oli hyvin hypähtelevä, sisään ja ulos. Että (lyönti, joka päätti tappelun) oli aivan napin päällä."

"Minä kuulun sinne (Bellator MMA World Grand Prix -kilpailussa). Tiedän, että tämä jako on pinottu, joten ymmärrän (miksi häntä ei otettu mukaan). haluan sisään. Jos on vammoja tai vetäytymiä, Olen sinun miehesi."

"Näin hänet (Scoggins) meni alas ja tiesi, että hän oli poissa. Ei ollut mitään järkeä jatkaa."

"Hän (Scoggins) on hyvin perinteinen, karate-esque. Valmentajani ja minä työskentelimme aika paljon ajoituksen kanssa. Tiesin, että ensimmäinen kierros saattaa olla hieman hankala. Sain lyönnin ensimmäisessä, mutta se ei ollut rahasta kiinni. Toisessa (siihen loppui tappelu) oli.”

#5-Johnny Eblen (10-0) voitti Collin Huckbody (10-4) kautta TKO (lyöntejä) at 1:11 of round one

Johnny Eblen: "Halusin lähettää sen kaverin (Huckbody) metaversumiin. Valitettavasti, En voinut tehdä sitä tänä iltana. Olisin voinut esittää paremman esityksen, mutta se on mitä se on."

"John Salter, Allekirjoitin ottelusopimuksen taistellakseni sinua Floridassa, mutta sinä [yksiselitteistä pidätetty] ulos. en tiedä loukkaantuiko, tai sinä [yksiselitteistä pidätetty] ulos. Mutta haluan nähdä sinut tässä [yksiselitteistä pidätetty] häkki, Johannes. Varustaudutaan ja jatketaan sitä."

BELLATOR MMA 263: PITBULL VS. MCKEE VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

FULL PRESS CONFERENCE VIDEO HERE

LOS ANGELES – June 17, 2021 – BELLATOR MMA’s Featherweight and Lightweight World Champion Patricio Pitbull (32-4) and undefeated top-ranked challenger AJ McKee (17-0) previewed their must-watch Featherweight World Grand Prix Final and 145-pound title fight during a virtual press conference Wednesday. Both fighters’ head coaches, Eric Albarracin of Team Pitbull Brothers, ja Antonio McKee of Team Bodyshop, also chimed in with a look at the final preparations both fight camps are taking as we approach the massive event.

Bellator 263: Pitbull vs. McKee will emanate from the Forum in Inglewood, Kalifornia., and will air live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Tickets for the event go on sale tomorrow, Perjantai, Kesäkuu 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the fighters and their coaches had to say Wednesday:

Patricio Pitbull, BELLATOR Featherweight World Champion & BELLATOR Lightweight World Champion

“I’m a little bit older and faster than the rest of my division and I’m going to use this in my favor. (22:47)

“Of all the opponents I’ve faced, AJ is the most dangerous, and I know that. Että on sanottu, I know that I’m going to win this fight and prove his father wrong. (26:18)

“At the beginning of his career, he faced very low-level guys. He has a few wins over tough opponents, but he’s never fought anyone like me. He claims that he is ready for me, but he isn’t, and he’ll learn that very quickly in front of his home crowd.” (38:48)

AJ McKee, Älä. 1 Ranked BELLATOR Featherweight & Featherweight World Grand Prix Finalist

“It’s been a great journey and this is something I’ve dreamed of my entire career. Kuten sanoin, I’ve been calling Pitbull’s name since I first stepped into that cage and he’s ignored me, pretending like he doesn’t know who I am. Lopussa päivän, there is nowhere else for him to run and he has to look me in my eyes. I’m looking forward to it. Everyone says I haven’t been tested and I agree. Mutta, when you do see me get tested, a whole different animal will come out. (23:22)

“After I beat Pitbull and become the face of BELLATOR, we can run it back for that second belt too. Becoming champ-champ is something that I said I was always going to do, and that I will do. I went through the trials and tribulations of not wanting to fight, to then having my passion for this come back and me seeing all my goals be within reach. It’s going to be fun, especially after the long break due to my knee surgery. I can’t wait to get in there again. The Mercenary does one thing: he signs the contract and then takes the person out. (24:22)

“I’ve been preparing for this fight for six years because Pitbull has been at the top for so long. Jälleen, I have a foot longer reach on him, so he has to come to me. He says he is training with gold medal wrestlers, but I will do the same thing to him that I did to Pat Curran and Darrion Caldwell. I’m comfortable off my back. Just because he’s Brazilian, that doesn’t mean anything in terms of Jiu jitsu. I have that evolved Jiu jitsu and that’s what I get people with when they don’t see it coming.” (31:45)

Scott Coker, BELLATOR President

“We’re excited to be back in California and we are excited to be back in the Forum, a place where we have had so many great fights. It’s going to be an amazing event. My staff is excited and the fighters are excited. When you think about live sports, it needs fans. We got a taste of it last week at the Mohegan Sun, which has been an amazing partner for us, but it’s time to travel and get back to what BELLATOR does best. That is putting on great fights touring from city-to-city, starting with this amazing fight on July 31. (4:10)

“This is the fight that everyone wanted to see. We have so many amazing athletes in this division that we went through the lottery system for matchups, which provided us with amazing fights. But at the beginning, I was wishing that the final would be McKee versus Pitbull. When we signed McKee, he had zero fights to his name. Nyt, look at where he is today. Back then, Pitbull was our champion and obviously still is today, so this fight is the “OG” vs. the new guard and we’ll have to see what happens.” (5:13)

Eric Albarracin, Team Pitbull Brothers Head Coach

“Patricio’s had a bullseye on his back since he became the champ in 2014, when he beat Pat Curran and this run has gone exactly as we planned. We were the matchmakers, we sent Darrion Caldwell to the other side of the bracket to take out some of the young bucks and he did. Sitten, AJ took him out and here we are. I think this is the perfect matchup for the finals. We have a young, up-and-coming, undefeated fighter and the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet, Patricio Pitbull. This is going to be the greatest fight in BELLATOR history. (7:20)

“Even at 17-0, AJ is still very young in the game. He’s very unpredictable. Mutta, at the end of the day it’s Pitbull who is the pound-for-pound best on the planet, it’s Pitbull who is the double champ, it’s Pitbull who has the best coaches in the game and they don’t know how to prepare for that.” (8:18)

Antonio McKee, Team Bodyshop Head Coach

“I lived a different life, one where it wasn’t all good. I was dealing with a lot of stuff that a lot of African American men deal with. No mother and no father, growing up in the streets of Los Angeles. It was what it was, but I made the right decisions and never got caught for anything that I did that could have put me away for the rest of my life and found my drive and motivation through my son. The things that AJ would say as a kid, like ‘Daddy if you die, can I die with you?’ I didn’t care about living and I didn’t have a problem with killing either. And then one day AJ says ‘Dad, whatever you do and wherever you go, I want to come with you.’ I was ready to clock out, but then I realized that I needed to be here for him. He had nothing but me, so that gave me the drive and the strength to find a better way out.

“I made it this far, did my thing as a wrestler and was the best in the world. I did what I was doing, but I didn’t have the right mindset, so I had to check my mental and learn how to be a respectable human being. Kerran tein sen, things started to shift for me and now here we are. I did things to keep AJ in private school, not to buy cars, musiikki, and jewelry. I did it all to pay for his school tuition.” (14:36)

LOS ANGELES — And then there were two…

What began with 16 featherweight athletes vying for a one-million-dollar grand prize and the BELLATOR Featherweight World Championship has been narrowed to the greatest BELLATOR athlete in the history of the promotionPatricio Pitbull (32-4) and the company’s best-ever homegrown fighter in No. 1 sijoittuiAJ McKee (17-0).

The culmination of the BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix takes place Saturday, Heinäkuu 31 klo Forum Inglewood, Kalifornia., and marks the company’s first domestic event hosted away from “The Fightsphere” since February 2020.

Bellator 263: Pitbull vs. McKeeairs live on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, Kesäkuu 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com with a pre-sale taking place on Thursday.

“This is without a doubt going to be the biggest BELLATOR fight of all time,” said BELLATOR President Scott Coker. “AJ McKee has been calling for a shot at Pitbull’s title since his very first professional victory inside our cage six years ago. Now he’s finally getting the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming a world champion against the winningest fighter in BELLATOR history. For Pitbull a win over McKee in this tournament final would be a statement piece to add to his long list of accolades and legacy as the best 145-pounder on the planet.”

One half of the vaunted Pitbull Brothers duo, Patricio has long been considered the crown jewel of BELLATOR MMA, where he sits atop the pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable record of 32-4 with wins over elite competition including the likes ofPat CurranJuan ArchuletaDaniel Weichel (x2) and most recently a second triumph over Emmanuel Sanchez, the 33-year-old stands alone as the featherweight king. Lisäksi, he was able to capture the Lightweight World Championship in a 2019 contest opposite Michael Chandler, becoming only the second BELLATOR athlete to hold two titles simultaneously. Kanssa 23 finishes in 36 ammattikäyttöön taistelee, Pitbull has shown time and time again that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

With a perfect record of 17-0, AJ McKee has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut at the ripe age of 20-years-old. With an even six knockouts and six submissions, the now-26-year-old McKee has shown a knack for securing finishes—and fast—with nine coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every man who has opposed him including former champions Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan, and Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted most-recently with a rare, modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” Finally, the Long Beach native will face the man he has called for since signing with BELLATOR, as he takes on Patricio Pitbull in the much-anticipated Featherweight World Grand Prix Final.

The preliminary portion of the event streams live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT BELLATOR MMA YouTube-kanavalla, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanava, as well as Pluto TV and features former featherweight title challenger and No. 2 sijoittuiEmmanuel Sanchez(20-5) versus Denmark’s No. 8 sijoittuiMads Burnell(15-3), a bantamweight tilt between No. 3 sijoittuiMagomed “Tiger” Magomedov(18-1) ja o. 4 RaufeonSupaStots(16-1) and a lightweight affair pitting undefeatedUsman Nurmagomedov (12-0) vastaanManny Muro(12-6).

Kotoisin Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brasilia, two-time featherweight champ Patricio “Pitbull” will enter the Bellator cage for a promotional record 23rd time on Nov. 12. With impressive wins to his credit over Michael Chandler, Daniel Straus (x3), Daniel Weichel (x2) ja Pat Curran, the 33-year old continues on in the Featherweight World Grand Prix not far removed from his lightweight championship victory in May of last year. Ottaa sai maaliin 21 hänen 30 voittaa ammattimaisena, the simultaneous two-division champion most recently bested current bantamweight champion Juan Archuleta on the scorecards in an exciting opening round World Grand Prix matchup and fans can certainly expect more fireworks when he finally sets his sights on Carvalho.

Portuguese submission specialist Pedro Carvalho will be entering the Bellator cage for just the fifth time in his eight-year professional career, looking for his seventh consecutive victory and his first world title victory. With victories in nine of his last 11 kilpailut, including against Derek Campos, Daniel Crawfordand a face crank-submission over Sam Sicilia in the opening round, the 25-year-old SBG Ireland-product is on the cusp of greatness – and winning the Bellator Featherweight World Grand Prix would be the perfect way to solidify it.

Yli 50 professional fights to his name, Germany’s Daniel Weichel is ready to make his 2020 debut in a highly anticipated World Grand Prix quarterfinal bout with Sanchez, a fighter Weichel got the better of four years ago at Bellator 159. Following his Bellator debut in 2014, “Drake” has enjoyed an impressive promotional mark of 9-3, including pivotal victories over Sanchez, Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan ja Saul Rogers.

On the heels of yet another masterful performance that ended in a submission victory over Tywan Claxton in the opening round of the World Grand Prix, “El Matador” is ready for another title run as he prepares for the 50-fight veteran and the man who beat him once before, Daniel Weichel. Since joining forces with Bellator in 2014, the Milwaukee, Wisc.-resident has collected 11 victories over a 14-fight stint, including key wins over the likes of Claxton, Daniel Straus, Marcos Galvao and Georgi Karakhanyan (2X).

Having needed just one round to put away his last opponent via submission in the quarterfinals of the World Grand Prix, Darrion Caldwell is on a mission to regain Bellator gold. “The Wolf,” a former North Carolina State University NCAA National Champion wrestler, has looked unstoppable since moving up to the featherweight division, having defeated Adam Borics, sekä Henry Corrales in the opening round of the tournament. Nyt, the former bantamweight champ sits only two victories away from holding a title in his second division – a feat very few athletes can claim.

Touted by ESPN as the best fighter in MMA under the age of 25, AJ McKee looks to back up the lofty expectations often held by the public for second generations-athletes. Undefeated in his career, “The Mercenary” has made himself known to the world through his flashy persona and trash talk, mutta tärkeintä, his work inside the Bellator cage. With every one of his pro bouts taking place with Bellator, the Long Beach-native can achieve what he set out to do beginning at Bellator 146 sisään 2015 and become world champion with just two more wins.

Also announced for Bellator 252…is a third main card bout featuring the always-exciting Aaron Pico (6-3) of Jackson-Wink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, N.M., who returns for his second appearance inside Bellator’s “FightSphere, having previously defeated Solo Hatley Jr. in impressive fashion at Bellator 242. He will take on Pittsburgh’s John de Jesus (13-8), who was most recently victorious at Bellator 244 against Vladyslav Parubchenko, in what promises to an explosive featherweight contest.
