Yn prif ddigwyddiad y noson, Cheick Kongo (24-10-2) intelligently managed the distance between he and Vinicius Spartan (8-4), kicking and jabbing his way to a split decision victory (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

 

Spartan did have his moments during the heavyweight encounter, securing takedowns in rounds two and three, followed by a knockdown late. Ond yn y diwedd, Kongo received the benefit of the doubt from the Kansas-appointed judges. The Frenchman has now won two straight, and improved to 6-2 overall under the Bellator MMA banner.

It only took David Rickels (17-4) three minutes and 49 seconds to finish Bobby Cooper (12-6) in front of a sellout crowd at Kansas Star Arena on Friday. Both men had their moments during the action, but after a knee to the body dropped Cooper to his knees, “The Caveman” pummelled his foe with hammerfists until referee John McCarthy called a stop to the action.

Kendall Grove (23-15) stopio Francisco France (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 eiliadau i mewn i'r ail rownd, winning by knockout. The victory was an emotional one for “Da Spyder,” who recently lost his brother and made it clear his performance was dedicated to his late sibling. Grove has now won three of his last four tilts, all via finish.

Chuka Willis (7-2) handed Gaston Reyno (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, winning via unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). The scrap went back-and-forth over the course of 15 cofnodion, with multiple submission attempts and knockdowns by both men. But in the end – much to the delight of the partisan crowd – Willis earned the nod.

Former Shamrock FC Flyweight Champion Rebecca Ruth (6-1) trechu Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) drwy benderfyniad unfrydol (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) in the opening main card fight at "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz.” For “Ruthless” the win is the first of her career via the judges’ scorecards and extended her current winning streak to four straight.

Lawrence (6-2) yn dychwelyd i safle'r fuddugoliaeth fwyaf ei yrfa. Awst ddiwethaf am RFA 17, y 24-mlwydd-oed hoelion wyth trawiadol dal y teitl pwysau plu RFA wag trwy besting Mark Dickman drwy benderfyniad unfrydol yn yr hyn oedd sancsiynu cyntaf ymladd teitl y byd MMA South Dakota yn. Roedd y fuddugoliaeth yn yr ail fuddugoliaeth yn syth Lawrence ers ymuno â'r RFA. Before that he had gained worldwide notoriety as a star on the fifteenth season of the UFC’s hit reality show The Ultimate Fighter, lle'r oedd yn y dewis cyffredinol cyntaf. Ar y sioe, Lawrence amlygu rîl wedi'i recordio milfeddyg KO o RFA alum a seren cyfredol UFC James Krause, yn ogystal â PRIDE a diffoddwr UFC yn y pen draw Cristiano Marcello. Lawrence, cyn Menig Golden bencampwr dwy-amser a kickboxer haddurno, yn unig oedd â 3-0 cofnod yn MMA ar y pryd, ond cyrraedd y chwarter-derfynol cyn ennill “Ymladd y Nos” ac “KO y Nos” taliadau bonws am ei KO dieflig o John Cofer yn ei ymddangosiad cyntaf UFC. Lawrence, sy'n ymladd y tu allan i Gynghrair MMA yn Chula Vista, California, yn awyddus i unwaith eto arddangos ei sgiliau trawiadol vaunted yn ei amddiffyniad deitl pwysau plu RFA cyntaf.

“Ar ôl i mi glywed y byddwn yn amddiffyn fy gwregys yn y De Dakota, Roeddwn i'n meddwl mae hyn yn awesome,” Esboniodd Lawrence. “Mae'r Sanford Pentagon yn un o'r lleoliadau gorau rwyf wedi ymladd erioed yn. Roeddwn i'n teimlo'n gyfforddus, yr ystafell locer yn wych, ac mae'r dorf yn wych. Sam TOOMER yn athletwr gwych gyda llaw dde yn dda. Bydd rhaid i mi ddefnyddio fy cicio, gwaith troed, and out-finesse him. Mae wedi profi i fod yn cystadleuydd teilwng, ond rwy'n edrych ymlaen at roi ei golled cyntaf iddo.”

TOOMER (9-0) fydd y dyn yn heriol Lawrence i RFA aur. Unlike most top mixed martial artists, like Lawrence, sy'n dod o ymrafael neu gefndir trawiadol, TOOMER yn chwaraewr pêl-droed gydol oes. Fodd bynnag, y 27-mlwydd-oed amddiffynnol pêl-droed y coleg yn ôl wedi gwneud trawsnewidiad llwyddiannus i MMA drwy ddefnyddio ei athletiaeth naturiol, disgyblaeth, and unbreakable work ethic to compile an impressive 9-0 cofnodi ers gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf yn pro dair blynedd yn ôl. Two of those wins have come in the past eight months after Toomer signed with the RFA. Enillodd TOOMER ei ymddangosiad cyntaf RFA yn RFA 15 ym mis Mehefin gyda pherfformiad dominyddol. Mae'r frwydr yn unochrog gweld ei wrthwynebydd Daniel Aguiar cael eich diarddel yn y drydedd rownd ar ôl gwrthod i sefyll ac ymladd TOOMER. Mae'r fuddugoliaeth DQ dros Aguiar drwy timidity rhoi enw TOOMER ar y map pwysau plu RFA fel contender teitl dilys. Ym mis Rhagfyr, Solidified TOOMER ei achos dros ergyd teitl gyda buddugoliaeth comeback glew dros Lyoto Machida noddid Altair Alencar yn RFA 21. TOOMER, sy'n ymladd allan o The Arena MMA yn San Diego, California, yn awr yn paratoi ar gyfer yr ymrwymiad fwyaf ei yrfa athletaidd ym mis Ebrill, gan ei fod yn herio'r pencampwr RFA hynod-touted Lawrence am ei deitl.

“Mae'n teimlo'n wych dod i ymladd am deitl y byd RFA,” TOOMER nodir. “Mae fy cwpl cyntaf o brofiadau gyda'r RFA wedi bod yn wych, ond mae hyn yn fy tro cyntaf fel y prif ddigwyddiad ac edrychaf ymlaen at ennill y teitl. Justin Lawrence yn wrthwynebydd ardderchog ac mae'r hyrwyddwr am reswm. Rwy'n edrych ymlaen at gael ymladd cyffrous gydag ef yn RFA 25 yn y De Dakota.

Y cyd-brif achos o RFA 25 Bydd hefyd yn cynnwys brwydr deitl rhwng dau milfeddygon RFA medrus, sy'n digwydd bod y ddau cenllysg o Frasil. Gabriel “Zangief” Checco (8-1) gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf rhyngwladol ym mis Hydref yn y prif achos o RFA 19. Ar ôl dod i fyny byr yn ei gais cyntaf am y teitl canol RFA y noson honno i Jake Collier, a gafodd ei llofnodi ar unwaith gan y UFC, Adlamodd Checco mewn ffordd fawr yn gynharach y mis hwn yn RFA 23. He made a huge statement with a blistering first round knockout of the highly-touted The Ultimate Fighter 11 cast member Joseph Henle. Bydd Checco awr yn wynebu ei gydwladwr a chyd jiu-jitsu gwregys du Francisco “Kiko” Ffrainc (11-3-1) am y teitl. France enters the fight with a ton of momentum after steamrolling his first two opponents in the RFA. Awst diwethaf, yn daith gyntaf yr RFA i Dde Dakota, France submitted local standout Isaac Appel with a first round Kimura. Dilynodd i fyny y llwyddiant hwnnw gyda gorffeniad rownd gyntaf arall yn RFA 21 ym mis Rhagfyr. Gwnaeth ei achos am deitl saethu y noson honno trwy anfon Bellator milfeddyg Mikey Gomez gyda rownd Braich-Triongl tagu cyntaf.

RFA 25 Bydd nodi dychwelyd dau milfeddygon RFA yn yr adran pwysau pry. Abel “Y Silent Assassin” Cullum (20-6) bydd yn disgyn i lawr i 125 o bunnoedd-am y tro cyntaf yn ei yrfa MMA storied i wynebu Sioux Falls Josh frodorol “Mae'r Derfysgu” Rave (24-11).

Bydd Rave hefyd yn marchogaeth momentwm mynd i mewn i frwydr hon. Mae wedi ennill tair o'i bedair pyliau diwethaf ers gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf yn RFA yn RFA 2.
