Scott Coker

“We’re excited to be in Boise, fighting at the Century Link Arena. I think this is a fight town that has been hungry for a big MMA promotion and we’re proud to be the first to do it. We’ve got a great middleweight world title fight between Carvalho and Manhoef… Carvalho is coming off of a big win with a KO over Brandon Halsey and undoubtedly this fight is going to have a bunch of fireworks between both of these guys.”

 

On the fight between Curran and Karakhanyan…

“I definitely think that this fight has some title implications but we always like to see how the fight pans outhonestly if this is something that’s exciting and a barn burner and if this fight can stand on its own feet, it very well could be.”

 

On if a Bellator bonus structure is going to come to fruition in the future…

“It is something we’re working on but we’re just a little bit different, because we’re a premium TV model so it’s something that has been considered, but right now it’s something that is still just in dialogue.”

Rafael Carvalho

“I am excited and really think this could be historical. It’s going to be a lot of strikes and it’s going to be a kickboxing fight with MMA gloves.”

 

“Every fight you’ve got to show what you got. In this fight, it’s going to be no different [now that I’m a champ]. I’m going to show everything I’ve got and I am always looking forward to the next fight.

“People recognize me more now and I have gained more respect now as the champion…Winning the belt for the first time is one thing, but the real deal is when you defend the belt and keep the belt. That’s when you become the real champion.

 

On overcoming challenges of living in Rio…

“There are good people as well as bad but the only thing that is going to dictate your future is you and how hard you work for it. It doesn’t matter where you live or what kind of clothing you wear, if you put your mind into it and are willing to work hard for it.

 

Melvin Manhoef

“I look forward to making a kickboxing with small gloves. I am prepared for anything so it doesn’t matter what’s going to happen. I am looking forward to being there and doing what I do best, which is the striking, so for me it’s very nice that he wants to do the kickboxing in the cage with me.

 

Do you feel like people are counting you out heading into this fight?

“I don’t know what people are thinking but it all depends on what me and my team think and the fans who are supporting me think. I feel like the fight is still in me and I showed it at my last fight. I trained real hard for this fight and my goal is to show it again that you cannot count me out… You know my fight style; I do everything to knock people out so I am glad if [Carvalho] wants to make a kick boxing fight out of it.”

 

What would winning the Bellator title mean to you?

“It means a lot, with all of the hard work and a lot of people writing me off, but I think this is like a new era or new beginning for me and I could become a world champion. I think that being a fighter that’s been in the business so long, it has been an achievement already.”

Pat Curran

“I am really excited to step in there την Παρασκευή and put on a dominant performance. I have made a lot of changes in my life, in my camp and everything is falling into place right now and I’m excited to showcase that την Παρασκευή."

 

Do the stakes of this fight change for you as they would for a title?

“I feel like every fight at this point in your career, especially in this division is do-or-die and if you win you’re going to get that much pull-through coming or having the chance to fight for the title again and I feel like over and over George and I have been that much closer to another title shot.”

 

Γκεόργκι Karakhanyan

“I can’t wait for Παρασκευή νύχτα. I am going out there with nothing to lose, just going 100 percent and fighting my fight and come out with a victory.”

 

On this being a potential title eliminator and going up against two-time champ Curran…

“I know everybody is talking about the title but to me I don’t think about that, right now I have a good opponent in front of me with Pat Curran, a former champion and I can’t ask for a better opponent than him. I am very excited, I cannot wait and I am ready to put on a great show and I’m for sure coming out with my hands right.”

 

On coming back from surgery and making adjustments…

“I treat everything the same, I got about five surgeries last year and the last surgery was just a meniscus tear but after that, Bellator took good care of me. They put me in a very good rehab place and I’ve started my training and feel 100 τοις εκατό ".

Όταν ο δεύτερος γύρος ξεκίνησε, Shlemenko κολλήσει με το ίδιο σχέδιο παιχνιδιού, και συνδέεται περιστρεφόμενο αντιβράχιο φλος του με το σαγόνι του Manhoef, sending him tumbling to the canvas. The hungry Russian native left nothing to chance and landed another strike before “Μεγάλος” John McCarthy τον έσπρωξε μακριά δηλώνοντας τον νικητή στο 1:25 του γύρου 2.

 

“Ελπίζω Bellator μου ακούγεται και θα επιτρέψτε μου να διορθώσει το λάθος που έκανα στο παρελθόν και θα μου δώσει την ευκαιρία να αγωνιστεί για το Παγκόσμιο Πρωτάθλημα Bellator Middleweight εναντίον Brandon Halsey.”

 

Πρώην Πρωταθλητής Featherweight Pat Curran‘s road back to the top of the talented division hit a road block against Featherweight Tournament winner Ντάνιελ Weichel της Γερμανίας. The two fighters wasted no time teeing off with crisp punches and accurate kicks, keeping the fight standing for a majority of the first frame.

Both fighters finished the final seconds of round one with a flurry of punches that drew loud applause from the Fresno crowd.

 

Curran began the second round with a visible cut over his left eye. After spending most of the round on their feet, Curran έσπευσε Weichel και σκόραρε ένα takedown, όπου επέβαλε τη θέλησή του για Weichel για το τελευταίο λεπτό, πιθανό να κερδίσει τον γύρο.

 

Ο τρίτος γύρος χαρακτήρισε τη συνέχιση της συναρπαστικό πιό slugfest με Curran προσπαθεί να σκοράρει άλλο takedown στο τρίτο, αλλά η γερμανική μαχητής γεμιστό την προσπάθεια, briefly tried to work on a choke and then disengaged to finish the fight on his feet. At the end of 15 πρακτικά, Weichel αναδείχτηκε νικητής με τη διασπασμένη απόφαση (29-28, 29-28, 28-29).

 

“Curran έχει πετύχει τόσα πολλά Bellator και ήταν μεγάλη τιμή για τον αγώνα. Απόψε έχω αποδείξει ότι ανήκω εδώ. Είπα στον κόσμο ότι έρχομαι για τον πυροβολισμό τίτλου και να διεκδικήσει τη ζώνη.”

Holloway showed great poise throughout, και εργάστηκε Budd με ένα takedown να ανοίξει τον τρίτο γύρο, Ωστόσο Budd ήταν σε θέση να μετατραπεί σε μια προσπάθεια armbar, και τελικά εργάστηκε δρόμο της προς Holloways’ πίσω και αλέθεται από ένα κυρίαρχο ομόφωνη απόφαση σκόραρε 30-26, 30-25 και 30-24.

 

“Είμαι πραγματικά απογοητευμένος δεν είχα πάρει την νοκ-άουτ,” Είπε Budd. “Ήλπιζα να πάρει στα πόδια μου και να κρατήσει όρθια ή να τελειώσει για τον λόγο, αλλά ελεγχόμενες φλέβες μου και εγώ δεν μπορούσα να πάρω τα χέρια μου ελεύθερα για να το τελειώσω.

 

“Έχει turtled το σύνολο του χρόνου, έτσι δεν θα μπορούσα να τον αγκώνα και τη στάση επάνω και να χτυπήσει σαν να ήθελε να, αλλά αυτό είναι σίγουρα κάτι που είμαι goinvg να εργαστεί για την επόμενη μάχη.”

 

Στα εγκαίνια αγώνα, ήταν μια μάχη των δύο εξαιρετικά ολοκληρωμένος παλαιστές Chris Χάνεϊκατ, δύο φορές D1 All-American και Clayton MacFarlane, a D2 National Champion. With the vocal hometown crown behind him, Χάνεϊκατ βγήκε από τις πύλες ισχυρή και χρησιμοποιούνται αριστοτεχνική ελέγχου επί του εδάφους και εντυπωσιακή ακρίβεια σε όλη τους πρώτους δύο γύρους. The highly regarded welterweight prospect Honeycutt exhibited great strength at points, tossing MacFarlane to the ground. MacFarlane opened the third frame with a takedown, αλλά Χάνεϊκατ ανέκτησε τον έλεγχο, took his opponents back and rained down strikes to MacFarlane’s body. MacFarlane, τώρα 4-1, δεν ήταν σε θέση να προστατεύσει τον εαυτό του από τα χτυπήματα του σώματος, και διαιτητής Jason Herzog σταμάτησε τον αγώνα στο 4:16 του τρίτου γύρου.

 

“Πήρα τη νίκη, αλλά θα μου άρεσε να έχουν λάβει την TKO στον προηγούμενο κύκλο,” Είπε Χάνεϊκατ, που βελτιώνει το αρχείο του σε 6-0 με τη νίκη TKO.
