PATRICK “Pitbull” defeated Benson Henderson via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Devis:
“I want the champion. I want Brent Primus. Tonight I took down another former champion and I want my shot at that belt,” Patricky Freire said. “He keeps running from me but now it’s time. I want that belt and after tonight I earned my shot at it. Benson Henderson is a good, combattant dur, but I’ve got my mind on the division title now. You can’t keep running Primus.”
Paul Daley defeated Lorenz Larkin via knockout at 2:40 du deuxième tour
Devis:
“The fight went as planned. I felt great and I knew how this would end,” Paul Daley said. “Lorenz Larkin was acting very uncharacteristically leading up to the fight and when I saw all of his antics and what not, I knew the fight would only end one way and that’s with him flat on the canvas.”
Roy Nelson defeated Javy Ayala via unanimous decision (30-26, 29-28, 29-28)
Devis:
“The goal was just to go out there, get the win, and work my game a little bit. It felt good to throw some bombs for these fans in San Jose. I had to give Bellator some footage to use, especially since the UFC doesn’t license anything out,” Roy Nelson said. “It was a tough fight and Javy’s a talented fighter. Vraiment, any heavyweight has power and if you connect the other person is definitely going to get knocked out and that is exactly what these fans come to see.”
“Overall I was pretty happy with my performance. I thought I was doing a good job with my stand up against him, but he’s really tough,” Javy Ayala said. “I just wasn’t able to stop the takedowns and his top control was at the elite level. But again I’m pretty pleased with my performance and I’m already looking forward to getting back into that cage for Bellator.”
Aaron Pico defeated Justin Linn via knockout at 3:45 de la première ronde
Aaron Pico Quote: “Tout d'abord, hats off to Justin [Linn]. He’s a great competitor and I knew it was going to be a tough fight. It feels good fighting at 145-pounds. This is my natural weight and it felt great. I’m going to have to watch the replay of this fight because I’m not even sure how I hit him, it was just very instinctual. I always knew that I had very powerful hands and I’m not being cocky, I’m just confident because I spar with some of the best boxers in the world over at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach. The key to this fight was just relaxing because I knew that as long as I was relaxed in there, my skillset was going to show.”
Goiti Yamauchi defeated Adam Piccolotti via submission (étranglement arrière-nue) à 3:19 de la première ronde
Quote from Goiti Yamauchi: “I’m ready to sign the contract for my next fight right now,” Yamauchi said. “I feel that I’m one fight away from a title shot, after another win like the one tonight, I don’t think there’s any way that Bellator can deny that I’m the number one contender.”

PLUS, THE DEBUT OF ROY ‘BIG COUNTRY’ NELSON VS. JAVY AYALA IN HEAVYWEIGHT CO-MAIN EVENT

AUSSI, BELLATOR KICKBOXING 7 HEADLINED BY WELTERWEIGHT TITLE BOUT BETWEEN CHAMP KARIM GHAJJI AND

RAYMOND DANIELS

LOS ANGELES – Bellator returns home to SAP Center in San Jose, Californie. Samedi, Septembre 23 pour Bellator 183 et Bellator Kickboxing 7, which features the return of former world champ “Smooth” Benson Henderson (24-7) taking on the always-dangerous Patricky "Pitbull" (17-8), while current Bellator welterweight kickboxing champ Karim Ghajji (97-13-1) defends his title against the flashy Raymond Daniels (11-3).

En outre, Bellator 183: Henderson vs. Pitbull will also feature the promotional debut of Roy "Big Country" Nelson (23-14) who meets California’s own Javy “Eye Candy” Ayala (10-5) in an explosive heavyweight showdown. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Bellator 183: Henderson vs. Pitbull will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ET/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets for the event go on sale Thursday, Juin 29 à 10:00 a.m. PST and are available at Ticketmaster.com.

Following what many considered to be 2016’s “Fight of the Year” against Michael Chandler, Henderson took time off to deal with nagging injuries. Maintenant, the 33-year-old is back to 100-percent and ready to take on the other “Pitbull” brother, following a victory against Bellator’s current featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull”at Bellator 160 en Août de l'année dernière. With wins against Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone, Frankie Edgar, Gilbert Melendez and Jorge Masvidal already in his nearly 11 years as a professional, “Smooth” is healthy again and looking for another championship run in his already-impressive career.

Patricky “Pitbull” comes into this bout seeking revenge against Henderson following his TKO win over younger brother, Patrick. The Rio Grande Do Norte, Brazil product steps inside the Bellator cage for the18th time in his professional career and will be looking to build on an impressive start to his 2017 campagne. Having won seven of his last 10 bouts, including a second-round finish of Josh Thomson at Bellator 172 en Février, the 31-year-old has seen 11 de son 12 career finishes come by way of knockout.

The inaugural Bellator welterweight kickboxing champion, Ghajji, traded victories with Zoltan Laszak on his road to meeting Daniels on September 23. Le 36-year-old, known to many by the nickname “Gadjetboy,” will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator Kickboxing umbrella, and will look to successfully defend his title for the first time since reclaiming the belt in April at Bellator Kickboxing 6 en Hongrie.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Daniels will bring his aggressive, one-of-a-kind karate style to Northern California for the first time since debuting with Bellator last year. Undefeated with the promotion — earning three stoppages in four outings — “The Real Deal” will look to punish the body of Ghajji when Daniels competes to claim his first world kickboxing title.

Combats de Las Vegas, Nelson makes his Bellator debut following an eight-year, 19-course de combat avec l'UFC qui l'a vu gagner contre Mirko Cro Cop, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, "Bigfoot" Silva et Cheick Kongo. Avec 19 de son 22 carrière victoires à venir par voie d'élimination directe ou de la soumission, “Big Country” is ready to make his return to Spike, where he memorably defeated the late Kimbo Slice and later went on to win season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Ayala will enter the Bellator cage against Nelson looking for another shocking upset following his last outing against Sergei Kharitonov at Bellator 163, where Ayala stole the show against Kharitonov by stopping the Russian heavyweight with a powerful punch a mere 16-seconds into the first round. Maintenant, given the opportunity to formally welcome Nelson to the Bellator fray, “Eye Candy” is looking to stun the crowd once again and firmly establish himself as a threat to the entire heavyweight division. With all five of Ayala’s wins in Bellator coming by way of stoppage, the matchup with Nelson is sure to produce fireworks.

BUDAPEST, HONGRIE -

Officiel Bellator Kickboxing 6 Principaux résultats de cartes & Devis:

Karim Ghajji (98-13-1) vaincu Zoltan Laszak (11-3) par décision partagée (50-45, 48-47, 46-49)

Citation de Karim Ghajji:

“Nous nous sommes préparés vraiment dur pour ce combat. Tout ce que nous avons entrepris d'accomplir, Nous faisions. Je sais que je pourrais faire encore mieux, mais vous savez que dans les combats, cela ne se passe pas exactement comme vous le souhaitez à chaque fois. Au premier tour quand j'ai glissé, Je me suis blessé au genou et c'était extrêmement douloureux mais je savais que je devais creuser et faire de plus en plus pour gagner cette ceinture, ce qui signifie tout pour moi,” Ghajji a dit. “C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie. Comme on dit: 'Alléluia! J'ai récupéré ma ceinture.’ J'ai ressenti beaucoup de pression pour récupérer cette ceinture, et quelle sensation incroyable de le reconquérir. J'ai hâte de combattre les meilleurs combattants que Bellator a à offrir pour confirmer que je suis le champion, mais aussi, J’aimerais concourir en MMA. En France, nous avons beaucoup de combattants MMA coriaces dans notre salle de sport et mon terrain est assez destructeur.. J'aimerais faire ça.”

Joe Schilling (21-9) vaincu Alexandru Negrea (10-4) par décision unanime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Citation de Joe Schilling:

“Le combat s'est bien passé, j'ai été vraiment surpris qu'il soit si dur. Il a combattu en Super Combat en Roumanie, il a donc eu beaucoup d’adversaires européens coriaces contre lesquels il s’est battu. Niveau de compétence auquel je ne pensais pas qu'il se soit battu contre le niveau de compétition auquel j'ai concouru, mais il a fait un très bon travail et il était vraiment dur. Il essayait de m'inciter à lancer avec lui et il essaierait de me rattraper quand j'entrerais, alors j'essayais de rester beaucoup plus calme et de montrer que je ne suis pas l'idiot qui s'est battu [Hisaki] Kato deux fois,” Schilling a dit. “J'ai fait beaucoup de changements dans ma vie personnelle. Je suis beaucoup plus concentré et plus sérieux et mon objectif ce soir était de montrer le niveau de compétiteur et de kickboxeur de classe mondiale que je suis et je pense que je l'ai fait. Chapeau à Alex, Il a fait un excellent travail. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de gens qui peuvent prendre ce genre de photos pendant trois tours. Je pense que la décision des juges était un peu ridicule. Je ne pense pas que je lui aurais donné la moitié d'un tour et encore moins un tour. Je pense qu'ils lui ont donné la seconde, ce qui est idiot. Mais, dans l'ensemble c'était une bonne nuit, les vacances commencent maintenant.”

Raymond Daniels (13-3) vaincu Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) et par KO 0:36 de tour de trois

Citation de Raymond Daniels:

“Une autre opportunité d'aller là-bas et de faire une marque avec cette marque Bellator. Je sais que mon homme Nick Diaz dit: «Découpez toute cette merde qui tourne,'Mais je pense qu'il veut dire tout le monde sauf moi,” Daniels a dit. “Je m'entraîne depuis de nombreuses années au karaté sportif et aux arts martiaux et vous savez que c'est un peu comme s'entraîner pour être un tireur d'élite pour ainsi dire. Il y a des trous et des fenêtres et lorsque votre adversaire vous donne ces trous, vous devez saisir cette opportunité. J'ai vu ce trou, Je l'ai exposé, et il se trouve que c'était avec mon spin kick qui est l'une de mes techniques les plus puissantes et les plus dévastatrices. Si j'atteins cette marque avec ce coup de pied, c'est un coup de circuit, Grand Chelem, Je le frappe hors du parc à chaque fois. J'ai pu m'entraîner récemment avec plusieurs grands vétérans du MMA comme Rory MacDonald, Georges St. Pierre et Tyron Woodley et moi nous sommes beaucoup entraînés avec ces gars-là, donc je suis vraiment intéressé à refaire du MMA. C'est très amusant de s'y attaquer avec de petits gants car les gens ne peuvent pas utiliser les gros gants comme bouclier pour bloquer mes tirs. Je veux saisir ce titre de Bellator Kickboxing et continuer à aider à construire cette marque de kickboxing parce que je sais qu'ils y investissent beaucoup de temps. Alors oui, Je suis vraiment intéressé à traverser ce pont et à participer à des combats de MMA, mais mon objectif principal est de remporter cet or du kickboxing.”

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) vaincu Irene Martens (20-10-2) par décision unanime (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Citation de Jorina Baars:

“Ce était un bon combat, Je pensais qu'Irène [Martens] était très dur. J'avais le contrôle dès le début du combat et je l'ai gardé pendant les trois rounds. J'ai été un peu déçu au premier tour mais au deuxième et au troisième tour j'ai beaucoup mieux performé. Elle a travaillé dur et a beaucoup bougé, donc ma stratégie était de maintenir la pression sur elle et d'essayer de la mettre dans le coin et je pense que j'ai réussi à ça,” Baars a dit après sa victoire. “C'était incroyable de se battre enfin pour Bellator. L'organisation est tellement professionnelle. J’attends avec impatience mes futurs combats ici et j’espère remporter le titre Bellator.”

Gabor Gorbics (31-10) vaincu Gabriel Varga (13-5) par décision partagée (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

Citation de Gabor Gorbics:

“Je suis très content de la victoire et j'espère continuer à gagner ici à Bellator,” Gorbics a dit. “Je me suis entraîné très dur pour ça. J'ai une famille et une équipe charmantes qui m'ont aidé à me préparer et je reviendrai au gymnase lundi pour continuer la formation.”

A longtime member of the world-renown “Amérique Top Team,” there’s no doubt that Sakara comes to the cage looking to finish, ending the proceedings before reaching the judges’ scorecards in 14 de son 18 victoires; a similar record to his opponent on Décembre. 10.

 

Having competed across multiple weight classes from heavyweight down to middleweight, the man fondly referred to as “The Mexicutioner” always comes ready to go toe-to-toe. A six-fight Bellator MMA competitor, Beltran has competed against the elite in multiple promotions and weight divisions, facing names like: “Déchaînement” Jackson, Kendall Grove, Emanuel Newton, and Stipe Miocic. Maintenant, the 34-year-old San Diego native returns to light heavyweight, looking to add to his impressive total of 14 le Brésilien de 34 ans a remporté le championnat du monde poids léger BELLATOR de Michael Chandler 17 gagne comme un professionnel. A veteran of Strikeforce, as well as the UFC, it’s surprising Beltran hasn’t previously crossed paths with Sakara, but all that changes when the cage door closes in Florence.

 

The streaking Dutch striker Denise Kielholz had her progress temporarily slowed when she was upset by Peritore at “Bellator: Dynamite 2” this past June. A 27-year-old native of Sicily, Italie, Peritore has won titles such as the ISKA & WTKA Amateur World Kickboxing Champion and IASKA Amateur World K-1 Championship. The first meeting between these two ladies was a tightly contested and technical, with both competitors picking their spots wisely over the course of three rounds. The ante has been upped the second go around though, with the news that a freshly minted Bellator Kickboxing belt will be waiting for the victor.
