Φέτα Kimbo (5-2, 1 NC)

A native of the Bahamas, the late Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson was one of the most recognizable figures in all of combat sports. After making a name for himself in the infamous world of street fighting, where he was labeled “The King of the Web Brawlers” by Rolling Stone, the internet sensation left underground fighting to become a professional mixed martial artist. The street brawler found the same success inside the cage that he had in his backyard in South Florida, collecting victories in each of his first three professional fights. Slice would go onto compete on season 10 του Το Ultimate Fighter, where his bout with Roy Nelson on Spike TV set a viewership ratings record for the series that still stands today. Slice also made a flawless transition into professional boxing, where he earned seven consecutive victories. The multi-dimensional mixed martial artist, boxer and actor debuted inside the Bellator cage in 2015, where he collected his final win over Ken Shamrock at Bellator 138. A fan-favorite throughout his career, Slice was known just as much for his entertaining personality and signature look, as he was for his knockout power. Kimbo’s legacy in MMA is carried on by his son, Kevin “Baby Slice” Ferguson Jr.

Επίσημη Δήλωση της Ομάδας Gunn σχετικά με τη μεταβίβαση του Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

 

Hackensack, NJ (Ιούνιος 7, 2016) - Ο παγκόσμιος πρωταθλητής πυγμαχίας βαρέων βαρών Bobby Gunn λυπάται πολύ για τον θάνατο του Kevin "Kimbo Slice" Ferguson.

Τα τελευταία αρκετά χρόνια, κυκλοφόρησαν φήμες για αντιστοιχία μεταξύ του Gunn και του θρύλου της μάχης στην αυλή που έγινε επαγγελματίας μαχητής.

Οι δυο τους είχαν συζητήσει ένα ματς και ο Γκαν προκάλεσε προσωπικά τον Κίμπο μετά τη γενναία του νίκη επί του Κεν Σάμροκ τον Ιούνιο 2015. Λόγω όσων ειπώθηκαν δημόσια ο ένας για τον άλλον, Ο Gunn σκέφτηκε ότι μπορεί να ήταν μια έντονη συνάντηση. Απροσδόκητα, ήταν ακριβώς το αντίθετο.

«Πίστευα ότι θα υπήρχε πολλή εχθρότητα μεταξύ μας από τότε που συζητήθηκε ο αγώνας και ήμουν αρκετά ανένδοτος για να τον αντιμετωπίσω,»Είπε ο Γκαν. "Η αλήθεια είναι, και μπορείτε να το δείτε στο βίντεο στο YouTube, ήταν πολύ ωραίος άνθρωπος. Όταν οι κάμερες ήταν κλειστές, καταλήξαμε να συζητάμε για το πώς οι γιοι μας ήταν και ανερχόμενοι μαχητές, τις οικογένειές μας και άλλα πράγματα. Σε αυτό το σημείο, Κέρδισα περισσότερο σεβασμό για αυτόν ως άνθρωπο από ό, τι θα είχα ποτέ αν πολεμούσαμε ».

Την προηγούμενη νύχτα, Ο Gunn ειδοποιήθηκε ότι ο Kimbo εισήχθη στο νοσοκομείο και ήταν σε κακή κατάσταση. Λίγο αργότερα, Πολλά πρακτορεία ανέφεραν ότι πέθανε στις 42. Ως οικογενειάρχης πρώτος και μαχητής δεύτερος, Ο Γκαν ήταν συντετριμμένος.

«Sadταν πολύ λυπηρό να διαβάζω ότι πέρασε, ειδικά σε τόσο μικρή ηλικία και τόσο γρήγορα. Έχει έξι παιδιά και μια αγαπημένη γυναίκα που άφησε πίσω του. Μόλις περάσατε από τον σκληρό μαχητή δρόμου, Ο Κέβιν Φέργκιουσον ήταν ένας πολύ καλός άνθρωπος και όλοι όσοι τον γνώρισαν ένιωθαν το ίδιο. Θα ήθελα να εκφράσω τα συλλυπητήριά μου στους φίλους του, θαυμαστές και κυρίως η οικογένειά του.

Ο Gunn σχεδιάζει επίσης να αποτίσει φόρο τιμής στον Kimbo και την οικογένειά του στο ρινγκ.

Στον επόμενο αγώνα μου, Θα υπερασπιστώ το πρωτάθλημα γυμνού κότσι μου ενάντια στον Σάνον Ριτς. Ο αγώνας έχει προγραμματιστεί να είναι κοντά στη γενέτειρά του, το Μαϊάμι, Η Φλόριντα και θα αφιερώσω την άμυνα στον Kimbo Slice. Θα ήθελα να προσκαλέσω προσωπικά την οικογένειά του να παρευρεθεί στην εκδήλωση. 305 για πάντα."

CIVIL WAR IN THE UK AS NORTH VERSUS SOUTH IN A HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH BETWEEN MARK GODBEER & JAMES MULHERON AT ‘BELLATOR: LONDON’ AT THE O2 ARENA ON JULY 16!

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

 

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

 

TICKTES ON SALE NOW AT THEO2.CO.UK

ΛΟΝΔΊΝΟ (Μάιος 17, 2016) – A heavyweight match-up between Mark ‘The hand of’ Godbeer (11-2) και 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 Ιούλιος 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 Φέτα Kimbo (6-2) ανάληψη Ο James Thompson (20-16) και Josh Koscheck (17-10) κατά Paul "Semtex" Daley (38-13-2). Additional matchups include a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) και Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11) and British welterweight highlight reel Michael "δηλητήριο" Σελίδα (9-0) έναντι Φερνάντο Γκονζάλες (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 Σάββατο, 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. They are available at TheO2.co.uk or The O2 Box Office.

Αφήστε ένα σχόλιο

LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT BETWEEN LINTON ‘THE SWARM’ VASSELL AND FRANCIS ‘LIMITLESS’ CARMONT ALSO OFFICIAL

Σάντα Μόνικα, Καλιφόρνια. (Απρίλιος 22, 2016) – The recently announced international tentpole event, "Bellator 158: Λονδίνο," now features two additional mouth-watering matchups during the event’s main card, με τη σημερινή προσθήκη Michael "δηλητήριο" Σελίδα (10-0) έναντι Φερνάντο Γκονζάλες (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 " απόψε and now sets his sights on impressing in his home country.

Εξάλλου, the stacked main card now also features a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) και Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11). The two new contests join an event that already features Φέτα Kimbo (6-2) ανάληψη Ο James Thompson (20-16) και Josh Koscheck (17-10) κατά Paul "Semtex" Daley (38-13-2). Πρόσθετες διαγωνισμοί θα ανακοινωθούν σύντομα.

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

As was showcased απόψε στο "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Χέντερσον," 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. Αλλά, 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, Αγγλία, 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.

Γκονζάλες, a 32-year-old Menifee, Καλιφόρνια. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over Gilbert Σμιθ στο "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. Τώρα, 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. Γκρέισι. " Vassell has now won 11 τελευταία του 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, Γαλλία, 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 ΜΜΑ: Dynamite 1, " Carmont replaced an injured Muhammed "Βασιλιάς Μο" Λαβάλ, 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. Τώρα, “Limitless” looks to upset the hometown faithful during the main card of "Bellator 158: London.”

BELLATOR MMA SET FOR ACTION AT O2 ARENA IN LONDON ON JULY 16 WITH KIMBO SLICE-JAMES THOMPSON, JOSH KOSCHECK-PAUL DALEY IN TOW

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

Σάντα Μόνικα, Καλιφόρνια. (Απρίλιος 18, 2016) – It was the most-watched fight in the history of mixed martial arts with 7.28 εκατομμύρια τηλεθεατές, και την Κυριακή night Bellator MMA President Scott Coker joined ESPN’s SportsCenter to officially announce that Φέτα Kimbo (6-2) και Ο 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) παίρνει Paul "Semtex" Daley (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.

 

Εισιτήρια για το "Bellator 158: Λονδίνο," go on sale this Friday, Απρίλιος 22, with a Bellator Nation presale running thisΠέμπτη, Απρίλιος 21. Tickets starting at £40.00 will be available at TheO2.co.uk or The O2 Box Office.

 

Εξάλλου, a pair of English natives will also be in action on July 16, όταν Michael "δηλητήριο" Σελίδα (9-0) και Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) face yet-to-be-announced opponents. London’s Page, also known as “MVP,” will be competing during the main card of "Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Henderson " αυτή την Παρασκευή, live and free on Spike at 8 μ.μ. ΚΑΙ/7 μ.μ. CT.

 

Fresh off his performance in the main event of "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie," the record-shattering card that generated 3.5 εκατομμύρια τηλεθεατές, 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, μεταξύ άλλων,.

 

Στο κύριο γεγονός της κάρτας, 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 Ματ Secor στο “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. Τώρα, 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 Ιούλιος 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.
