BELLATOR MMA 291 MAIN CARD RESULTS:
(C) Yaroslav Amosov(27-0) ແພ້ #1-Logan Storley(14-1) ຜ່ານການຕັດສິນໃຈ unanimous (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)
Amosov quotes:“I feel very good because I waited for this for a long time. I train hard training, and I feel a lot of motivation and responsibility. ໃນປັດຈຸບັນ, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະພັກຜ່ອນ. I’ll relax after the fight, and I’m happy because I think I gave my country a good day. It’s the first time I’ve had big support in the cage. In America, I’ve had support, but not like today. Many Ukrainian flags, many Ukrainian people. My uncle, ເພື່ອນຂອງຂ້າພະເຈົ້າ; I see many people. It was a big support, and it gave me very good energy.”
On His Message to the People of Ukraine: “Thank you for my country, thank you for my army and the fans. It was for my country. Today I think it is a very good day for my country. To hold two gold belts.”
On If He’s the Best Welterweight on the Planet: “I think yes, [that was my best performance]. ແນ່ນອນ [I think I’m the best welterweight in the world]. I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to BELLATOR. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”
On His First Match with Logan Storley: “Before this fight, I said this fight was different. I have many kilograms that I cut for my first match with Logan [ສະເຕີລີ]. Now I had a very good camp and recovery as well as different training. Every day I train hard and become better. I have the best team with me. ພຣະອົງເປັນ [Logan Storley] a very good fighter, and I knew this. All people who enter the cage are strong, so if you go in the cage, you’re a high-level fighter. It’s not a surprise to me, ແຕ່ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພ້ອມ [for everything]."
On Training with BELLATOR Middleweight World Champion Johnny Eblen: “He’s my friend [ຈອນນີ ເອບເລນ]. I train with him every time, he’s very high level. He’s a very good fighter and a real champion. ໃນເວລາທີ່ພວກເຮົາ spar, many people watch and I think it’s beautiful.”
#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) ແພ້ #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) ຜ່ານການຕັດສິນໃຈ unanimous (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
Kennedy quotes: “I’m happy with the win, regardless. I would’ve liked to get the finish, but there’s a lot of circumstances whenever you travel across the world. I’m just ready for the next one. It was my rehydration, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຄິດວ່າ. I made mistakes on the rehydration. I was really dry – I wasn’t sweating, but I felt exhausted there; my gas tank’s [ຕາມປົກກະຕິ] much better than that. He had a tight squeeze right at the beginning but he jumped for it too early but I think I am the best grappler in the division. He had a little bit of a squeeze but it ultimately got me the takedown. I wanted to really hurt him with some hands, but he’s a pressure fighter. I thought I could sit him down, but as soon as I got ahold of him, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າແມ່ນຄ້າຍຄື, ‘This is my path to victory.’”
On Fighting for the Title Next: “I believe so, I don’t know who else is there for me to fight. Three wins in a row. Sanchez, Pico, and Carvalho and they have all been dominant victories.. I’ve been all around the world; it’s a cool way to see the world. In a perfect world, I get to fight somewhere in the United States, but I’d fight ‘Pitbull’ in a WalMart. I’m coming. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າແມ່ນຄ້າຍຄື: I can’t wait to get the opportunity to fight him. Now there’s talk of him going down to 135; he’s probably calling his nutritionist right now because he doesn’t want this fight. ໃຫ້ຂອງເຮັດແນວໃດມັນ. We can go ASAP. I’ll fight him in any corner of the world, in any timeframe.”
Bryce Logan(12-8) ແພ້ #10-Peter Queally(12-8) ຜ່ານ TKO (ດີໃຈຫລາຍ) ຢູ່ໃນ 2:32 ຂອງທັງສອງໄດ້ຕະຫຼອດ
#3-ຊິນເນດ ຄາວານາ(9-5) ແພ້Janay Harding(6-7) ຜ່ານການຕັດສິນໃຈ unanimous (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
Kavanagh quotes: “I feel good. It feels good to get back in there. It was a nice win. I went and put on a show, and that’s all I needed to do. I kept in one piece; I can go again soon, ຊຶ່ງເປັນທີ່ຍິ່ງໃຫຍ່. I put on a clinic. I knew she was a striker, so I showed in there what I’ve done for the last 12 ອາທິດ. All is good.”
On a Potential Rematch with Cris Cyborg: “That’s two great wins, and I put on a show both times. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າພ້ອມ. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຕ້ອງການ [Cris] ‘Cyborg’ in Dublin. That’s what I want. Fight the best in Ireland, ຊິນເນດ ຄາວານາ. I’ve been well-prepared for Cris ‘Cyborg.’ I won’t rush into things. ຂ້າພະເຈົ້າຈະມີຄວາມພ້ອມ. "
“I got a good 15 ນາທີ [ໃນ] ມີ. Good strikes. My power was there. I do want ‘Cyborg’ here. I want her in Dublin. But that’s in September, that’s too long. I want another one and then ‘Cyborg.’”
On Rectifying the Outcome from First Harding Fight: “It feels good; I got me win back. It’ll be on my record forever. I did win, and I am better.”
Ciaran Clarke(7-0) ແພ້Leonardos Sinis(11-6-1) ຜ່ານການຕັດສິນໃຈ unanimous (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)
Clarke quotes: "It was a clean performance. I obviously would’ve liked the finish. [Opponent Leonardos Sinis has] fought at welterweight and lightweight before; he’s a big lad.”
On his Opponent’s Size Advantage, Weight Miss: “I thought he was a good actor. ເບິ່ງ, I didn’t think that mattered at all because I knew I was giving up a few kilos anyways. It was a catchweight and he missed weight. I knew he was coming big.”
On What He Wants Next: “Two Dublin shows every year. Get better for the next one, end of June, ເດືອນກໍລະກົດ. Those decisions, all of my decisions, I had 10-8 ຮອບ. 7-0. I think that’s right up there with the win streaks in the company. It’s a bit gray with BELLATOR; the rankings are solid, then it’s gray underneath that. People are mentioning the rankings — I’m trying to gradually get to that point. If they offer it, I’ll accept it because that’s just who I am, but as long as it makes sense and its progression. I’m here in BELLATOR; whatever they say I’m worthy of.”
On a Potential Matchup with Khasan Magomedsharipov: “I think we match up well and like said I will fight anyone. They’re all getting behind me: the whole town, the whole country, ຂ້ອຍຮູ້ສຶກ. They’re bringing buses up. I really feel like a winner already. I’ve brought the whole town here. People talk. That buzz in the town, everyone gets behind me. It’s unreal.”
