BUDAPEST, MAGYARORSZÁG -

Hivatalos Bellator Kickbox 6 Fő Card Eredmények & Idézetek:

Karim Ghajji (98-13-1) legyőzött Zoltan Laszak (11-3) keresztül osztott döntést (50-45, 48-47, 46-49)

Karim Ghajji Idézet:

“Nagyon keményen készültünk erre a küzdelemre. Mindazt, amit el akarunk érni, megcsináltuk. Tudom, hogy még jobban tudnék, de a harcokban tudod, hogy nem minden alkalommal megy pontosan úgy, ahogy szeretnéd. Első körben, amikor megcsúsztam, Megsérült a térdem, és rendkívül fájdalmas volt, de tudtam, hogy le kell ásnom és egyre többet kell tennem az öv megszerzéséért, ami nekem mindent jelent,” Ghajji mondta. “Ez életem legszebb napja. Mint mondjuk: 'Alleluja! Visszakaptam az övemet.’ Nagy nyomást éreztem ennek az övnek a visszaszerzésére, és milyen elképesztő szenzáció visszaszerezni. Alig várom, hogy a legjobb harcosokkal küzdhessek Bellator, hogy megerősítse, hogy én vagyok a bajnok, de szintén, Szeretnék versenyezni az MMA-ban. Franciaországban sok kemény MMA harcos van az edzőteremben, és a talaj és a font elég romboló. Ezt szeretném megtenni.”

Joe Schilling (21-9) legyőzött Alexandru Negrea (10-4) via egyhangú döntést (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Joe Schilling Idézet:

“A harc rendben volt, nagyon meglepődtem, hogy ilyen kemény volt. Romániában a Super Combat-ban küzdött, így sok kemény európai ellenfele volt, amelyek ellen harcolt. Képességi szint Nem gondoltam, hogy a verseny szintje ellen küzdött, amely ellen én versenyeztem, de nagyon jó munkát végzett és nagyon kemény volt. Megpróbált csalogatni, hogy dobjak vele, és megpróbált elkapni, amikor bejövök, ezért igyekeztem sokkal összetartóbb maradni, és megmutatni, hogy nem vagyok az a hülye, aki harcolt [Hisaki] Kato kétszer,” - mondta Schilling. “Nagyon sok változást hajtottam végre a személyes életemben. Sokkal koncentráltabb és komolyabb vagyok, és a célom ma este az volt, hogy megmutassam a versenyző és a világszínvonalú kickboxos szintjét, és azt hiszem, ezt megtettem. Kalap le Alex előtt, nagyszerű munkát végzett. Nincs olyan sok ember, aki három körön keresztül képes ilyen felvételeket készíteni. Úgy gondolom, hogy a bírák döntése kissé nevetséges volt. Nem hiszem, hogy egy forduló felét adtam volna neki, nemhogy egy kört. Azt hiszem, a másodikat adták neki, ami ostoba. De, összességében jó éjszaka volt, a vakáció most kezdődik.”

Raymond Daniels (13-3) legyőzött Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) és keresztül KO 0:36 A kerek három

Raymond Daniels Idézet:

“Egy újabb lehetőség arra, hogy kimenjen oda, és nyomot hagyjon azzal a Bellator márkával. Tudom, hogy az emberem, Nick Diaz mondja: ’Vágd ki mindazt a forgó szart,’, De azt hiszem, mindenkit ért, csak engem,” - mondta Daniels. “Hosszú évek óta edzek a sportkaratéban és a harcművészetben, és tudod, hogy ez nagyon hasonlít az edzéshez, hogy úgymond mesterlövész legyek. Vannak lyukak és vannak ablakok, és amikor az ellenfél megadja azokat a lyukakat, meg kell ragadnia ezt a lehetőséget. Láttam azt a lyukat, Kitettem, és történetesen a pörgetésemmel volt az egyik legerősebb és legpusztítóbb technikám. Ha ezzel a rúgással eltaláltam ezt a jelet, az egy házi futás, grand slam, Minden alkalommal kiütöm a parkból. A közelmúltban spóroltam több nagyszerű MMA-veteránnal, például Rory MacDonalddal, Georges St. Pierre és Tyron Woodley és én nagyon szórakoztatóan edzettem ezekkel a srácokkal, így mindenképpen érdekel, hogy újra MMA-t csináljak. Nagyon szórakoztató kis kesztyűvel járni rá, mert az emberek nem használhatják a nagy kesztyűt pajzsként, hogy megakadályozzák a lövéseimet. Meg akarom ragadni ezt a Bellator Kickboxing címet, és továbbra is segítek ennek a kickboxos márkának az építésében, mert tudom, hogy sok időt fektetnek bele.. Tehát igen, Mindenképpen érdekel, hogy átlépjem ezt a hidat és megszerezzek néhány MMA-harcot, de a fő célom az, hogy hazavigyem azt a kick-box aranyat.”

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) legyőzött Irene Martens (20-10-2) via egyhangú döntést (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Jorina Baars Idézet:

“Ez volt a jó harcot, Azt hittem, hogy Irene [Martens] nagyon kemény volt. A küzdelem kezdetétől fogva rendelkeztem az irányítással, és mindhárom fordulóban megtartottam. Kicsit csalódtam az első körben, de a második és a harmadik körben sokkal jobban teljesítettem. Keményen dolgozott és sokat mozgott, szóval az volt a stratégiám, hogy továbbra is nyomást gyakoroljak rá, és megpróbáljam betenni a sarokba, és azt hiszem, ez sikerült,” - mondta Baars a győzelme után. “Elképesztő volt végre harcolni Bellatorért. A szervezet olyan profi. Alig várom a jövőbeni küzdelmeimet, és remélem, hogy elnyerem a Bellator címet.”

Gorbics Gábor (31-10) legyőzött Gabriel Varga (13-5) keresztül osztott döntést (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

Gorbics Gábor idézet:

“Nagyon örülök a győzelemnek, és remélem, hogy továbbra is nyerek itt Bellatorban,” Gorbics mondta. “Nagyon keményen edzettem erre. Van egy kedves családom és csapatom, amely segített a felkészülésben, és visszatérek az edzőterembe hétfőn hogy folytassa az edzést.”

Hivatalos Bellator 177: Dantas vs. Füge Fő Card Eredmények & Idézetek:

Eduardo Dantas (20-4) legyőzött Leandro Higo (17-3) keresztül osztott döntést (30-27, 30-27, 28-29)

Eduardo Dantas Quote:

“It was tough to stay motivated for this fight once he missed weight. There was nothing to gain whether I beat him fast or slow. It wasn’t for the belt, it wasn’t going to change my ranking in Bellator,” Dantas said. “Mikor [Darrion] Caldwell got injured, I asked Scott Coker to bring in tough bantamweights and they brought in a tough fighter, but you have to make weight. I train hard for several months, I don’t go out, Edzek. It’s the very minimum you can do. You have to make weight. Be a professional. I don’t think Caldwell is injured. I think he just doesn’t want to fight out of America. I am looking forward to getting my hands on him.”

Daniel Weichel (39-9) legyőzött John Macapa (21-2) keresztül osztott döntést (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Daniel Weichel Quote:

“Macapa is definitely a tough opponent. He was almost undefeated coming into this with only one loss and I took him as seriously as I can take an opponent. At this time I treat everyone I fight as if it’s a championship fight. I think he is one of the top featherweight opponents that I could face so I’m pretty happy that I was able to beat him,” Weichel said. “I have to give a big shout out to all of my friends and family that drove 17-18 hours from Frankfurt and Cologne to be here and support me. They’ve been there for me and believed in me since day one and it’s difficult for me to even put into words how much it means to have them in my corner. I have to thank Bellator for putting me on this card and giving them the opportunity to come and watch me fight. I’m hoping that Bellator brings me to Mohegan Sun next week and puts me cage side so I can see who I will get to beat up next when (Daniel) Straus and (Patrick) ‘Pitbull’ harc.

Lena Ovchynnikova (12-4) legyőzött Helen Harper (4-2) via doctor stoppage at 5:00 A második körben

Lena Ovchynnikova Quote:

“Before the fight I was a little bit nervous, and I felt that my first round wasn’t quite as good as I would of liked. But when the second round started she was going to feel my power and I knew that I would win,” Ovchynnikova said. “When the judges stopped the fight I couldn’t believe it. I was ready for a third round and I wanted to win with a knockout but we have what we have.”

Adam Borics (6-0) legyőzött Anthony Taylor (1-3) via benyújtása (hátsó meztelen fojtó) at 4:12 A kerek egy

Adam Borics Quote:

“When the fight started, I felt a great deal of pressure from the crowd and I was in a bit of a rush. It took me a while to settle down and regain my composure, but once I did that I was able to see the fight much better. I’ve been working on my striking with Henri Hooft and I really was hoping to win with a knockout, but I saw my opening for a submission and I was able to end the fight with the choke,” Borics said. “I’m very happy that I was given this great opportunity to represent Hungary in MMA. This is very important for me to support the development of this sport in Hungary. It is my plan to continue to be an ambassador for the sport here and to continue to bring victories like this in the future.”

Brian Moore (10-5) legyőzött Michal Horejsi (5-3) via TKO at 3:57 A második körben

Brian Moore Quote:

 

“Én nagyon, really happy that I got the call back from Bellator. To be honest I begged for the call back because Bellator is where I want to be. I want to be signed with Bellator, I want to be a household name. I really believe I’m one of the better featherweights in this division. I was given a guy who is very unpredictable. I was patient in my approach but I cut him down and was able to finish him. Ma este I wanted to make a statement with a knockout because my dream is to fight at Madison Square Garden. I want to open up the show. My teammate James (Gallagher) is already on the card and we’d put on a super camp together and we’d tear that place apart,” Moore said. “My hero, Sugar Ray Robinson used to own the Garden. I’ve watched every bit of footage I can get my hands on of Sugar Ray, he’s my idol. So to fight in the same arena as he has – and obviously my teammate Conor (McGregor) has fought there too – it would be a dream come true. But I want to open up the card and set the tone for the night because when you see a fighter that is as exciting as I am that’ll set the tone. Give me anyone, I don’t give a f-ck.”

Mate Kertesz (3-0) legyőzött Patrick Szombat (1-3) via TKO at 4:37 A második körben

“Thank you to Bellator for supporting me and thank you Budapest for the opportunity.”

“I’m very happy to be here. I want to say thank you to my opponent for accepting this fight. And I’m ready to show you what I do best, which is to punch his face.”

Leandro Higo:

“Thank you to Bellator for the opportunity. Köszönöm, Budapest, for the reception. I’m very happy to be here and I’m looking forward to putting on a good show pénteken!"

“I feel no extra pressure because I’m here to do what I love, which is fighting. I’m looking forward to winning another championship belt.”

Adam Borics:

“I’d like to welcome all of you. This is one of the biggest opportunities of my life. I’m very much looking forward to the fight and I’m well prepared, so I can’t wait. I was fortunate enough to prepare for this fight in America with great professional coaches like Henri Hooft.”

"Készen állok. I can hardly wait for my arm to be lifted at the end.”

Anthony Taylor

“Welcome! Welcome! How’s it going? I am the “Pretty Boy”, the prettiest of them all. I definitely want to thank Budapest and Bellator for bringing me in. Természetesen, I bring numbers, Tudja, so I’m expecting this should bring over a million viewers, hands down.”

I kid you not! Anybody in the featherweight division stands toe to toe with me is going to get knocked out.”

“I’m not going to take nothing from this man. He has a 9-0 record so he’s definitely put in work. He beat up nine people, but it doesn’t mean he’s going to beat up me. I tell you that! But I give him credit because he’s coming out here and sacrificing his time and being away from his family to put in his work just as I am. We’re going to put on a show for all you fans out there and all you media out there.”

“You know in my eyes, this is the main event: The Hungarian versus the American. Everyone wants to see this fight. They want to see what is this man can do with a record of 9-0. He earned his wins and I respect him as a fighter. But after Péntek he will be 9-1.”

“This is the most important fight of my life because there has been much more promotion here in Budapest leading up to the event. I realize that most people in the arena will be cheering for me, and for Hungary. I’ve done my preparation and my homework. I’m excellently prepared and I’m looking forward to this challenge.”

Karim Ghajji

“Thank you for the rematch. It was a big mistake in the first fight. Now I’m going to make it right and bring the belt back home to France.”

“Two days before the first fight I was sick and I had dealt with injuries during that camp, but this time I had a great camp, Már felkészültem nagyon jól, and this will be an explosive fight pénteken."

A 10-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, “Dudu” has recorded victories in 12 Az utolsó 14 végek, including nine under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion. Jelzési Rio De Janeiro, Brazília, the flashy 27-year-old is widely known as one of the most dynamic competitors in the division, tallying four knockouts and six submissions over his 23-fight career.

Caldwell has collected five wins by way of first round knockout or submission, making him one of the most dangerous compeititors in the 135-pound class. Hailing from Rahway, N.J., the 11-fight veteran has quickly put together an impressive professional resume inside the cage, highlighted by a remarkable first round finish over former multi-division champion Joe Warren, a man whom Caldwell idolized coming into the sport. The Alliance MMA product now has the opportunity of a lifetime, as he prepares for the next chapter of his career and a shot at championship glory.

 

After winning the welterweight kickboxing championship at Bellator’s inaugural kickboxing show in Turin, Italy in 2016, Ghajji dropped his belt to world-renowned Hungarian champion Laszak when the pair met during Bellator’s first visit to Budapest last year. Most, fresh off an impressive win in Florence, Ghajji hopes to reclaim the belt that he feels is his.

TORINO, OLASZORSZÁG. (Április 22, 2016) – Italy’s largest indoor arena, The Pala Alpitour was packed with over 13,000 fans for the historic, alakuló “Bellator Kickbox: Torino” esemény. The kickoff event was one for the ages with fierce competitors making a name for themselves with their world-class kickboxing on display. The card aired tonight on SPIKE through a delayed broadcast following "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson.”

Melvin Manhoef (37-13) was upset by Milan’s Alexandru Negrea (9-2) via decision in the evening’s main event. Negrea, also known as “The Volcano,” erupted in the second round, scoring a knockdown that forced an eight-count for Manhoef. The closely contested bout resulted in a decision victory for the Romanian-born fighter (30-25, 29-26, 29-26).

Mustapha Haida (40-5-2) és Karim Ghajji (96-12) battled it out for five hard-fought, exciting rounds of action for the ISKA and Bellator Kickboxing World Titles. At the culmination of the bout, France’s Ghajji emerged victorious with the scorecards reading (50-44, 50-44, 46-48).

Los Angeles native Raymond Daniels (11-3) has a knack for producing highlight-reel finishes, and he was back at it again during the “Bellator Kickbox: Torino” event, flooring Francesco Moricca (15-3-1) with a spinning heel liver kick just 30 seconds into round one.

Here is the answer to a future trivia question: Veronica Vernocchi (31-7-1) was the first fighter to ever step into a Bellator Kickboxing ring. Denise Kielholtz (44-2), viszont, was all business from the very beginning. The Dutch striker made her historic walk to the ring to Rihanna’s hit song, “B*tch Better Have my Money,” and she fought as though her opponent showed up with empty pockets, winning a decision victory (30-27, 30-27, 28-29). A győzelem, Kielholtz became the first fighter to have their hand raised in a Bellator Kickboxing contest.

About Oktagon:

Carlo Di Blasi created Oktagon in 1996. At its beginning the show was dedicated to free fight, the name that was given initially to MMA (Mixed Martial Arts). Other disciplines such as Kickboxing, Muay Thai and Savate were gradually added from the early 2000’s onwards. During the last 20 years Oktagon has reached a huge popularity, both in Italy and abroad, creating many superstars in the process including Bellator welterweight Paul Daley as well as The Petrosyan brothers (Giorgio és Armen), Robin Van Roosmalen, Valentijn Overeem, Rico Verhoeven és Artem Levin.
