Kimbo سلائس (5-2, 1 این سی)

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 کے الٹی فائٹر, 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 لڑائی 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.

Team Gunn Official Statement on the passing on Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson

ایک تبصرہ چھوڑ دو

 

Hackensack, NJ (جون 7, 2016) – World Bare Knuckle Boxing heavyweight champion Bobby Gunn is deeply saddened by the passing of Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson.

For the last several years, rumors were circulating of a matchup between Gunn and the backyard fighting legend turned professional fighter.

The two had discussed a match and Gunn personally challenged Kimbo after his courageous come from behind victory over Ken Shamrock in June 2015. Due to what had been said about one another publicly, Gunn thought it may be an intense meeting. Surprisingly, it was the exact opposite.

“I thought there would’ve been a lot of animosity between us since the fight had been discussed and I was pretty adamant about facing him,” said Gunn. “The truth is, and you can see it in the video on YouTube, he was a very nice man. When the cameras were off, we ended up discussing how our sons were both up and coming fighters, our families and other things. اس وقت, I earned more respect for him as a human being than I ever would have if we fought.”

Last night, Gunn was notified that Kimbo was admitted to the hospital and in bad shape. کچھ ہی دیر بعد, multiple outlets reported he passed away at 42. As a family man first and fighter second, Gunn was devastated.

“It was very sad to read that he passed, especially at such a young age and so quickly. He has six children and a loving wife that he left behind. Once you got past the rough street fighter, Kevin Ferguson was a very nice person and everybody who met him felt the same way. I’d like to send my condolences to his friends, fans and most importantly his family.

Gunn also plans to pay respects to Kimbo and his family in the ring.

In my next fight, I’ll be defending my bare knuckle championship against Shannon Ritch. The fight is scheduled to be near his hometown of Miami, Florida and I’ll be dedicating the defense to Kimbo Slice. I’d like to personally invite his family to attend the event. 305 forever.”

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

 

TICKTES ON SALE NOW AT THEO2.CO.UK

لندن (مئی 17, 2016) – A heavyweight match-up between Mark ‘The hand of’ Godbeer (11-2) اور 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 جولائی 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 Kimbo سلائس (6-2) پر لینے جیمز تھامسن (20-16) اور جوش Koscheck (17-10) کے خلاف پال "Semtex" ڈیلے (38-13-2). Additional matchups include a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) اور Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11) and British welterweight highlight reel مائیکل "زہر" صفحہ (9-0) مقابلے فرنانڈو Gonzalez کی (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 ہفتے کے روز, 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.”

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

سانتا مونیکا, کیلیفورنیا. (اپریل 22, 2016) – The recently announced international tentpole event, "Bellator 158: لندن," now features two additional mouth-watering matchups during the event’s main card, کے آج کے علاوہ کے ساتھ مائیکل "زہر" صفحہ (10-0) مقابلے فرنانڈو Gonzalez کی (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 بمقابلہ. ہینڈرسن " آج کی رات and now sets his sights on impressing in his home country.

اس کے علاوہ, the stacked main card now also features a light heavyweight pairing between Linton “The Swarm” Vassell (16-5) اور Francis “Limitless” Carmont (24-11). The two new contests join an event that already features Kimbo سلائس (6-2) پر لینے جیمز تھامسن (20-16) اور جوش Koscheck (17-10) کے خلاف پال "Semtex" ڈیلے (38-13-2). ایڈیشنل ڈائون جلد ہی اعلان کیا جائے گا.

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 آج کی رات میں "Bellator 153: Koreshkov بمقابلہ. Henderson," 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 بذریعہ Jeremie Holloway اور, look no further than his previous outings against Charlie Ontiveros, or his 65-second knockout of Rudy Bears for explosive examples. لیکن, 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, انگلینڈ, 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.

Gonzalez کی, a 32-year-old Menifee, کیلیفورنیا. is looking to build upon his split decision victory over گلبرٹ سمتھ میں "Bellator 151: وارن بمقابلہ. 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. اب, 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 امینویل نیوٹن in a bout that went the distance at the record-shattering event that was"Bellator 149: بمقابلہ Shamrock کی. Gracie. " Vassell has now won 11 ان کی آخری کے 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, فرانس, 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 MMA: ڈائنامائٹ 1 " Carmont replaced an injured محمد "کنگ موبائل" Lawal کی, 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 فل ڈیوس in the final round of the tournament-style contest. اب, “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

ایک تبصرہ چھوڑ دو

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

سانتا مونیکا, کیلیفورنیا. (اپریل 18, 2016) – It was the most-watched fight in the history of mixed martial arts with 7.28 ملین ناظرین, اور اتوار کو night Bellator MMA President Scott Coker joined ESPN’s SportsCenter to officially announce that Kimbo سلائس (6-2) اور جیمز تھامسن (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 جوش Koscheck (17-10) پر لے جاتا ہے پال "Semtex" ڈیلے (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.

 

"کے لئے ٹکٹلڑائی 158: لندن," go on sale this Friday, اپریل 22, with a Bellator Nation presale running thisجمعرات, اپریل 21. Tickets starting at £40.00 will be available at TheO2.co.uk or The O2 Box Office.

 

اس کے علاوہ, a pair of English natives will also be in action on July 16, جب مائیکل "زہر" صفحہ (9-0) اور 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 بمقابلہ. ہینڈرسن " اس جمعہ, live and free on Spike at 8 بجے. AND/7 بجے. CT.

 

Fresh off his performance in the main event of "Bellator 149: بمقابلہ Shamrock کی. Gracie," the record-shattering card that generated 3.5 ملین ناظرین, 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. تھامسن, 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 بابی Lashley, دوسروں کے درمیان.

 

In the card’s co-main event, 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 میٹ Secor میں “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. اب, 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 جولائی 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.
