Leave a comment

 

MULTIPLE UNDERCARD BOUTS ANNOUNCED & SET TO SHOW OFF SOME OF UK’S TOP UP-AND-COMERS

 

TICKTES ON SALE NOW AT THEO2.CO.UK

LONDRES (Maio 17, 2016) – A heavyweight match-up between Mark ‘The hand of’ Godbeer (11-2) e James Mulheron (8-1) will kick off the televised portion of the highly anticipated “Bellator: London” card when the promotion arrives at the O2 Arena in London on Xullo 16. The collision course that the two big men are on will divide the British fans in attendance as the three-round attraction sees Northern UK go head to head with Southern UK, with both men looking for the big KO.

 

The newly-announced scrap joins a star-studded event that features Kimbo Slice (6-2) asumindo James Thompson (20-16) e Josh Koscheck (17-10) contra Paul Daley "Semtex" (38-13-2). Additional matchups include a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) e Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11) and British welterweight highlight reel Michael Page "Venom" (9-0) contra Fernando Gonzalez (25-13).

 

Several preliminary matchups have been revealed, including former Big Brother winner Alex Reid (10-9-1-1), who has been scheduled to fight against an opponent to be announced later.

 

After scoring a TKO victory this past Sábado, Godbeer comes into this fight hot on a three-fight winning streak. The exciting heavyweight is known to leave it all on the line, as evidenced by the fact that he has never let a fight go to the judge’s scorecards. For Godbeer it is a welcome second chance with the Bellator promotion. “I personally think Bellator is one of the leading organisations there is today; it’s a great honour to fight for them once again. Last time I fought off of the back of an 18 month lay-off due to a big injury and feel I wasn’t myself, so I’m glad to get another chance to show them the real me.”

 

Both Godbeer and Mulheron are hard-hitting heavyweights with great cardio and athleticism and share a common fight strategy: knock the other guy out. Mulheron won a regional title with the M4TC promotion, and will be competing in Bellator for the first time. “I don’t really go into fights with a game plan,” said Mulheron. “I go in with an open mind. I think every fighter needs to be able to adapt in fights but everyone who watches me knows I come to fight and this fight will be no different.”

 

In the United Kingdom, the event will be broadcast free on SPIKE UK and Channel 5, while in America the card will air FREE on SPIKE. Exact broadcast details for "Bellator 158: London” will be revealed in the near future. Tickets for the event are on sale now and start at only £40.00.

Leave a comment

SANTA MONICA, Califa. (Abril 22, 2016) – The recently announced international tentpole event, "Bellator 158: Londres," now features two additional mouth-watering matchups during the event’s main card, con adición de hoxe Michael Page "Venom" (10-0) contra Fernando Gonzalez (25-13) in a welterweight bout at The O2 in London. “MVP” is fresh off a first-round submission during the main card of "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson " esta noite and now sets his sights on impressing in his home country.

Alén, the stacked main card now also features a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) e Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11). The two new contests join an event that already features Kimbo Slice (6-2) asumindo James Thompson (20-16) e Josh Koscheck (17-10) contra Paul Daley "Semtex" (38-13-2).

They are available at TheO2.co.uk or The O2 Box Office.

As was showcased esta noite en "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson," mixed martial arts fans and pundits alike would be hard-pressed to find a striker — or submission specialist — as dynamic as Page. Other than his win against Jeremie Holloway, look no further than his previous outings against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears for explosive examples. Pero, now “Venom” looks to strike against Gonzalez, who is no stranger to being the underdog when he enters the Bellator MMA fray. A proud son of London, Inglaterra, the 29-year-old Page has only reached the judges’ scorecards once in his nine professional outings. “MVP” will enter the cage at The O2 in London with an unblemished record, hometown support and momentum, all on his side.

Gonzalez, a 32-year-old Menifee, Califa. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over Gilbert Smith en "Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” and add to his impressive five-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 and was originally slated to fight “MVP” in March, but the fight fell through when the Englishman withdrew due to injury. Agora, Gonzalez looks to solidify himself as the No. 1 contender to the crown at 170-pounds and prove that he truly is the stiffest test Page has faced in his 10-fight career.

Vassell is fresh off of a victory over Bellator’s Emanuel Newton in a bout that went the distance at the record-shattering event that was"Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie. " Vassell has now won 11 da súa última 13 fights and will be chomping at the bit to get back in the cage in front of his hometown fans. Vassell joins Thompson, Daley and Page on a card that features a strong contingent of British talent as the card continues to grow.

Hailing from Paris, Francia, the 34-year-old Carmont will enter the cage for the first time in 2016 and fourth under the Bellator MMA umbrella. In his most recent appearance, at the tournament-style "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1, " Carmont replaced an injured Muhammed "King Mo" Lawal, who was forced to drop out after suffering a rib injury earlier in the event. After winning his first bout of the evening, “Limitless” surrendered a loss to Phil Davis in the final round of the tournament-style contest. Agora, “Limitless” looks to upset the hometown faithful during the main card of "Bellator 158: London.”

Leave a comment

MICHAEL ‘VENOM’ PAGE, LINTON ‘THE SWARM’ VASSELL ALSO SET TO COMPETE

SANTA MONICA, Califa. (Abril 18, 2016) – It was the most-watched fight in the history of mixed martial arts with 7.28 millón de espectadores, e o domingo night Bellator MMA President Scott Coker joined ESPN’s SportsCenter to officially announce that Kimbo Slice (6-2) e James Thompson (20-16) are going to run it back inside the world famous O2 Arena in London on July 16 during the main event of "Bellator 158: London.” The tentpole event also features another highly anticipated rematch in the co-main event — when a grudge match nearly six years in the making boils over as Josh Koscheck (17-10) asume Paul Daley "Semtex" (38-13-2).

 

In the United Kingdom, the event will be broadcast free on SPIKE UK and Channel 5, while in America, the card will air free on SPIKE. Exact broadcast details for "Bellator 158: London” will be revealed in the near future.

London’s Page, also known as “MVP,” will be competing during the main card of "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson " este venres, live and free on Spike at 8 p.m. E/7 p.m. CT.

 

Fresh off his performance in the main event of "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie," the record-shattering card that generated 3.5 millón de espectadores, Slice returns to action against the man he previously defeated back in 2008. It’s without question that Slice, a member of American Top Team in his home state of Florida, is one of the most must-see competitors in the sport of mixed martial arts, as it’s become increasingly clear fans can never truly expect what will happen when the brawler enters the Bellator cage.

 

“The Colossus” will likely have a sold-out O2 Arena strongly in his corner, being that he hails from Bristol, England and hasn’t fought on home turf since 2010. Thompson, 37, has been calling for a rematch with Slice since their infamous meeting nearly eight years ago and would like nothing more than to bounce back from a recent string of bad luck with a win against a name the likes of the former YouTube sensation. Thompson’s resume already features wins against Dan Severn, Don Frye and Bobby Lashley, entre outros.

 

In the card’s co-main event, Koscheck will make his promotional debut a little over a year after signing with Bellator MMA. Its pained the Fresno native to be out of action for so long, especially after being forced to withdraw from a headlining spot in his hometown against Matt Secor en “Bellator 148,” a card that “Semtex” went on to main event. It was there that the seeds for a rematch were cemented even further, as Daley trashed “Kos” in front of his partisan fans, pushing the 38-year-old to return.

 

While Daley may have the results as of late to upstage his foe, Koscheck owns a victory over the Brit in their first meeting, which Daley followed with an infamous punch after the bell that changed the trajectory of his career. Agora, with nine wins in his last ten fights, Daley returns home to put an end to a moment in his profession that has cast a shadow over most of his success, while Koscheck looks to prove that their first meeting was no fluke.

 

These two momentous matchups are set to take place on Xullo 16 at the legendary 20,000-seat O2 Arena, as Kimbo Slice-James Thompson II and Josh Koscheck-Paul Daley II emanate from the United Kingdom, and there’s no other place to watch the action unfold than FREE on Spike.

"Eu creo que a campá salvoume,"Freire continuou. "El me bateu cun puñetazo forte no meu queixo, pero eu quedei tranquilo indo para a segunda quenda, porque eu sabía que necesitaba para gañar a loita. Vin un oco despois que me deu un zócolo e eu bati nel co meu mellor tiro ".

 

A Weichel visiblemente perturbada e emocional sabía que deixe unha oportunidade de ouro escapar. "Eu empecei a segunda rolda lentamente,"Dixo Weichel. "Eu non quería que el se recuperar despois da primeira rolda. Comece na ofensiva na segunda rolda e, por desgraza, eu fun pego. "

 

Na acción pesado, Bobby "The Dominator" Lashley (13-2), de Coconut Creek, Fla., traballo rápido feito de E “O Home” Charles (9-3), dominando a 29-year-old cunha gran ground and pound, un arsenal que inclúe varios suplexes. Árbitro McCarthy interrompeu a loita polo 4:14 na segunda rolda, obtendo un TKO ao tres veces campión NAIA wrestling afeccionado e súa terceira vitoria consecutiva baixo a bandeira bellator.

 

Charles, que levou a loita en aviso previo de dúas semanas despois James Thompson desistiu debido a lesión, foi overmatched polo Lashley considerablemente maior, que se mantivo en boa posición para, finalmente, disputar o título dos pesos pesados.

 

A 38-year-old referenciado seu fondo de wrestling estimado como un factor importante na reivindicando vitoria. "Sempre volver ao básico nunha loita de wrestling e é o meu fondo,", Dixo Lashley. "Eu teño seguir adiante, a división de pesos pesados ​​está aberta. Necesito manter os ollos abertos. "

 

Daniel Straus (23-6), de Coconut Creek, Fla. Parecía que está totalmente recuperado do seu título de tiro perda de Pitbull Freire, convincente batendo Henry Currais (12-1) de La Mirada, Califa. por finalización (guillotina) en 3:47 para a segunda rolda.

 

Straus parecía que el entrou na loita para facer unha declaración, rapidamente atacando Corrales con golpes consecutivos na cabeza que tiña o californiano cambaleando cara atrás en varias ocasións.

 

"Eu aínda estou dominando persoas,” said Straus. “This is what I do. Gañar ou perder Eu veño aquí para bater o meu adversario. "

 

Straus parecía seguro de que el non tería problemas recuperar o seu cinto. "Quen gañar o cinto dos penas esta noite,"Exclamou Straus. "Estou indo para vencelo."

 

Foi un valente esforzo por Currais, que facía a súa estrea bellator, pero era evidente que estaba un paso atrás Straus da campá de apertura. A perda foi só o primeiro de carreira Corrales '.

 

No primeiro concurso principal postal da noite, favorito lixeiro e cidade natal Michael Chandler (13-3), de High Ridge, Mo., traballo rápido feito de Derek "The Stallion" Campos (15-5), precisando só 2:17 secondsto marcar un submisión (mata-león) gañar.

 

Benvida de tres derrotas consecutivas, Chandler claramente parecía aliviado despois da loita. "Derek Campos é un cara duro, el me bateu na miña boca e me sangrando algo,", Dixo Chandler. "Eu estaba animado para loitar contra este cara. Non estou neste deporte de punta do dedo do pé e atopar loitas fáciles. "

 

Sentindo-se en particular confiado, Chandler chamou actual campión dos lixeiros Will Brooks, who happened to be sitting cage side. "Quero ese cinto de volta,", Dixo Chandler. "Will Brooks, que o cinto ten o meu nome nel, onde queira que estea. "
