HOUSTON, Texas – La lluita contra el llegat Aliança (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will crown a new middleweight champion in September when the promotion returns to Colorado.

L'esdeveniment principal del LFA 22 will feature the top two middleweight prospects in the sport. Colorado’s own Ian “The Hurricane” Heinisch will face Brazilian dynamo and fellow undefeated prospect Markus “Maluko” Perez for the vacant LFA middleweight title. LFA 22 – Heinisch vs. Perez takes place Divendres, Setembre 8 at the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield, Colorado.

“LFA will crown a new middleweight champion at LFA 22 in Colorado,” Declarat Soares. “Ian Heinisch and Markus Perez are the top two middleweight prospects in the sport. En Setembre 8, only one will walk away with their perfect record intact with the LFA middleweight title wrapped around their waist.”
Les entrades per LFA 22 – Heinisch vs. Perez are available for purchase NOW at AltitudeTickets.com. You can also support your favorite fighter by purchasing your tickets at CombatTickets.com.
Heinisch (8-0) received plenty of fanfare when he signed with the LFA earlier this year. This was due to the fact that Heinisch is widely regarded as one of the top middleweight prospects in the world. The two-time Colorado state wrestling champion from Ponderosa High School lived up to media and fans’ lofty expectations, and then some, when he made his highly-anticipated LFA debut in the main event of LFA 10. Heinisch quickly dispatched the well-versed Brazilian powerhouse Lucas Rota in less than a round with a rare Ude-Garami (Keylock) from Kesa-Gatame (Scarf Hold). This positioned him at the front of the line for a title shot. The 29-year-old will now get the opportunity to fight for the vacant LFA middleweight title in front of his home crowd at LFA 22.
Pérez (8-0) is perhaps the only middleweight prospect in the world that can match the intrigue surrounding Heinisch. This is due in large part to the fact that Perez has been just as dominant in his native Brazil as Heinisch has been stateside. L'home conegut com “Maluko” will be making his highly-anticipated international MMA debut on the heels of back-to-back wins over UFC veterans Ildemar Alcântara and Paulo Thiago. Those wins saw Perez’s stock as a top prospect skyrocket as Alcântara and Thiago have a combined 20 fights in the UFC between the two of them. The 27-year-old is now eager to showcase his talents outside of Brazil for the first time. He will get that opportunity on Setembre 8 when he fights for the vacant LFA middleweight title.
L'esdeveniment co-principal de LFA 22 will feature the farewell fight of one of Colorado’s most beloved and accomplished fighters when Gilbert Smith gets his hands wrapped and throws down one last time in front of his adoring home crowd. The proud Coloradan has enjoyed an MMA career that has seen him reach the highest levels of the sport.
Els EUA. Army veteran and Colorado Springs resident competed on two seasons of the UFC’s hit reality television series The Ultimate Fighter. Along with being a memorable cast member on TUF 17 and TUF 25, Smith competed for the UFC and Bellator, as well as both RFA and Legacy FC before the two promotions merged to form LFA at the beginning of the year. During his time with RFA, Smith won the welterweight world title.
The man standing across the Octagon from Smith at LFA 22 will be Andrew Kapel (11-6). Kapel is a longtime friend and teammate of Benjamin Smith, who is the man that Gilbert Smith took the RFA title from two summers ago in the main event of RFA 26. Kapel, like Benjamin Smith, is a student of Greg Nelson at The Academy in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will look to exact a bit of revenge in the same building where Gilbert Smith submitted Benjamin Smith. The budding grudge match in Gilbert’s farewell fight has one more layer. Kapel submitted Smith’s teammate Adam Stroup last month in less than a round.
In the always exciting women’s strawweight division, Maycee Barber (1-0) will return to the LFA Octagon against RFA vet and fellow top prospect Mallory Martin (1-1) at LFA 22. Barber burst on to the MMA scene in June with a dominant professional MMA debut at LFA 14. Barber submitted undefeated prospect Itzel Esquivel via armbar in the first round of a bout that took place in her opponent’s hometown. Now Barber will return to the LFA Octagon in her home state. She will face a fellow Coloradan prospect in Martin who is no stranger to the 1STBANK Center in Broomfield. It was in this same venue where Martin submitted the Gilbert Smith trained Melissa Parker via Rear Naked Choke at RFA 34. Now the table is set for a showdown between the top two strawweights in “L'Estat Centenari” as the 19-year-old Barber faces the 23-year-old Martin on the main card of LFA 22.

Addicionalment, a lightweight faceoff pitting Yamauchi dalt (19-3) contra Ryan Couture (10-4) completes the SPIKE-televised main card. The first of what will be a stacked preliminary card is also official, with the news that Ricky “The Sniper” Rainey (11-4) lluitarà Gilbert “Chocolate Thunder” Smith (12-5). Additional undercard bouts will be announced shortly.

Since signing with Bellator MMA, the calm and subdued Kato has been in nothing but absolute barn burners once the cage door shuts. The exciting fights have even transcended combat sport iterations, when at "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 2” Kato delivered a spinning back fist that stopped Joe Schilling in his tracks, the second finish in as many tries for “The Japanese Musketeer” against “Stitch Em’ Up.” Currently situated in France, the 33-year-old has had one MMA contest thus far in 2016, stopping Yuta Watanabe in April.

When he’s not traveling the world in an effort to learn everything there is to know about the different martial arts disciplines, Matthews is putting his skills to the test under the Bellator MMA umbrella. A veteran of Strikeforce, “The Mercenary” has laced up the gloves seven times previously for the Viacom-owned promotion, stopping his opponent in all but one of his victories. Primarily training at Alliance MMA throughout his career, Matthews has spent much of his time as of late in Thailand, even taking a Muay Thai bout before meeting Ben Reiter a "Bellator 156: Galvao vs.. Dantas 2.”

Amb tan sols 23 anys d'edat, Yamauchi is one of the premiere young talents in the sport of MMA today. Prior to joining Bellator MMA, the Japanese submission specialist amassed an unfathomable 14-1 registre amb 11 submissions and one knockout. Since merging with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Yamauchi has strung together a promising mark of 5-2 with three rear-naked choke submissions. Of his 19 career wins, 15 han arribat a través de la submissió, while no opponent has yet been able to finish the elusive fighter. Yamauchi will now jump up in weight class and join the lightweight division for a clash with one of the most legendary last names in MMA, Couture.

Known to many as the son of former world champion Randy Couture, Ryan has made 14 professional appearances over his career, all of which took place under the bright lights of a national promotion like Strikeforce or Bellator MMA. Residing in Las Vegas, the 34-year-old submission specialist enters the cage having won four of his past five contests, with each of his victories coming by way of rear-naked choke submission. Although there is a noticeable age difference between his opponent, Yamauchi made his professional debut a mere two months after Couture, in October of 2010. Tune in to SPIKE on Octubre 21 to see which Bellator MMA lightweight powerhouse will emerge victorious.

DARRION CALDWELL SUPLEXES, CHOKES HIS WAY TO MAIN EVENT VICTORY AT ‘BELLATOR 151’ A PUNT

Thackerville, OKAY. (Març 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say Darrion Caldwell (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over Joe Warren (13-5) en l'esdeveniment principal de “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” el divendres night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, amb “The Wolf” taking down the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” and initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked choke — that Warren refused to tap to — forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 de la primera ronda.

Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Marc Galvao, simply saying: “F*ck you [Marc] Galvao, you’re a p*ssy.” That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. Mentrestant, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Eduardo Dantas when they do finally meet.

 

In the co-main event of the evening, Fernando González (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of Gilbert Smith (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ quadres de comandament, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 acta. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Pàgina, who was originally slated to face “El Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson” Abril 22, quan Benson Henderson challenges Andrey Koreshkov for the welterweight belt.

 

Yamauchi dalt (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Jenkins (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, però “The Highlight Kid’s” effective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 la pèrdua de Georgi Karakhanyan.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell,” Sirwan Kakai (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) per decisió unànime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “Baby Joe” was going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — but “Zohan” weathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. Al final, els jutges’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

Joe Warren (13-4) vs. Darrion Caldwell (8-0)

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Ara, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Marc Galvao early in 2015. La 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, lluita.

 

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Cau] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

Fernando González (24-13) vs. Gilbert Smith (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Dinamita 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul Daley "Semtex". Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

 

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Mitjanit Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

 

Yamauchi dalt (19-2) vs. Bubba Jenkins (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Mike Richman, Martin Stapleton, i Isao Kobayashi. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 de la seva 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

 

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, més recentment, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Jordan Parsons.

 

Sirwan Kakai (12-3) vs. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 baralles. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

 

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Mitjanit Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

 

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Dinamita 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul Daley "Semtex". Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

 

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.

 

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 baralles. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

Al gener, Primera oportunitat pel títol de Smith es va veure obstaculitzat després del seu oponent de pes notòriament perdre per 5 lliures-. Smith després va rebre un títol immediatament un tret en el seu pròxim combat, a causa de l'avantatge de pes de bronze al seu rival original,. Ell va aprofitar aquesta oportunitat, quan es va enfrontar al recentment coronat campió de pes welter RFA Benjamin Smith al juny. Smith va guanyar el títol amb la tercera victòria armbar ronda a Broomfield, Colorado. Smith està ara tractant de guanyar la celebració d'estat amb una reeixida primera defensa del títol a Las Vegas.
“Primer i abans que res, és un gran honor per defensar el meu títol RFA a Las Vegas,” declarat Smith. “Espero poder posar en una gran baralla per als aficionats a Las Vegas, però com he dit després de la meva última baralla, aquest cinturó es queda al voltant de la meva cintura. No tinc res més que respecte per Bristol Marunde, però vaig a fer-li saber que no és al meu nivell. Tal Com Octubre 9, aquest cinturó està tornant a Colorado.”

Marunde (16-9) entra en la lluita pel títol de muntar l'impuls d'una ratxa de quatre baralles. The Las Vegas based Xtreme Couture representative is a veteran of the UFC and The Ultimate Fighter, just like Smith, i es va afanyar a trucar de sortida Smith a través de mitjans de comunicació social a principis d'aquest estiu, quan Smith va estendre una invitació oberta per assumir tots-rivals després de guanyar el títol.

“És agradable estar lluitant a Las Vegas, però vaig a ser el pròxim campió de pes welter de la RFA, independentment d'on es va dur a terme,” Marunde explicar. “Estic a punt per aquest repte en Gilbert Smith. Vull que tothom pugui accedir a aquesta lluita. Serà la meva millor actuació fins a la data.”
L'esdeveniment co-estel·lar de la RFA 31 comptarà amb el retorn de Zoila Frausto (12-4), qui va ser el primer i únic campió de Bellator dones. Frausto va guanyar el títol de pes palla de les dones Bellator en guanyar el torneig de les dones més importants de MMA fins a la data. En el torneig de vuit dona, Frausto va derrotar Jessica Penne, Jessica Aguilar, i Megumi Fujii. Penne ha anat a lluitar pel títol de pes palla de les dones de UFC, Aguilar va ser àmpliament considerat com el #1 de pes palla de la dona en el món per a l'any, i Fujii és una llegenda en MMA de la dona que va ser 22-0 quan ella va lluitar Frausto pel títol en la final del torneig. Frausto, que mai ha perdut en 115 lliures-, ara està ansiós per recuperar el seu tron ​​a la part alta la divisió de pes palla de les dones.
“Més que res, Estic feliç d'estar de tornada,” declarat Frausto. “Sóc un lluitador completament diferent ara. Jo no sóc més que esportiu, però he afegit de classe mundial impressionant i va guanyar un títol mundial de Muay Thai. Ara tinc la mida, força, velocitat, i l'habilitat que les noies de 115 lliures-no estan preparats per. És emocionant per lluitar pel títol dels primers RFA de la dona a Las Vegas. La primera baralla que he vist va ser a Las Vegas i record veure-ho i pensar, això és el que vull fer i això on jo volia barallar.”

Jones-Lybarger (5-1) entra en la lluita pel títol com la dona més reeixida en la història de la RFA. El producte MMA LAB ha guanyat tres baralles consecutives des que va signar amb l'últim any RFA. En aquests tres combats, ella ha mostrat una àmplia varietat d'habilitats. En el seu debut, guanyar una decisió unànime sobre el rudimentari Rosa Acevedo a la RFA 14. Jones-Lybarger llavors fora va lidiar l'incondicional de mà dura colpejant Rebecca Ruth a la RFA 19. En la seva sortida més recent, usar les seves habilitats de boxa formidables per derrotar combat basat talent jiu-jitsu Maria Rius a la RFA 23. Jones-Lybarger estava llest per tornar a l'acció d'aquest mes a la RFA 29 com part de l'equip dels EUA, però el seu oponent es va haver de retirar la targeta i Jones-Lybarger canviar ràpidament la seva atenció cap a la seva major repte fins a la data.

“I honestly feel that my time is now,” Jones-Lybarger va explicar. “Quan la baralla amb Kinberly (Novaes) va ser cancel·lat, Jo sabia que el meu temps per a una baralla pel títol RFA amb Zoila era ara. Aquesta és la victòria que necessito per arribar al següent capítol en la meva carrera i estic emocionat sobre convertir-se en campió de les primeres RFA de la dona.”
