NO. 10-RANKED BELLATOR LIGHTWEIGHT GADZHI RABADANOV WILL REPRESENT THE PROMOTION AT THE HISTORICAL BELLATOR MMA VS. RIZIN EVENT AGAINST JAPAN’S KOJI TAKEDA ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

Los Angeles— BELLATOR MMA has announced that its fifth participant for the New Year’s Eve spectacle against RIZIN Fighting Federation opponents will be No. 10-sijoittui kevyeksi, Gadzhi Rabadanov(18-4-2), taking on 27-year-old Japanese standoutKoji Takeda(15-3) in a compelling matchup between two competitors riding high on the strength of consecutive victories.

A first-of-its-kind blockbuster co-promotionBELLATOR MMA vs. RIZIN takes place inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Saturday, Joulukuu 31, and can be seen in the United States on SHOWTIME at 8 p.m. ET/PT on New Year’s Eve.

Rabadanov versus Takeda will join a star-studded five-fightBELLATOR MMA vs. RIZINpääkortille, which is stacked from top to bottom with current and former champions competing in the four-sided ring under RIZIN’s unique rules. Headlining the event will be a dream matchup between RIZIN lightweight championRoberto “Satoshi” de Souza(14-1) against No. 3 BELLATOR pound-for-pound talentAJ “Mercenary” McKee(19-1), with BELLATOR and RIZIN featherweight championsPatricio Pitbull(34-5) jaKleber Koike(31-5-1) co-headlining the must-see event.

Former BELLATOR championsJuan "espanjalainen" Archuleta(26-4) jaKyoji Horiguchi(30-5) will round out the unparalleled main card, facing off with RIZIN’sSoo Chul Kim(18-6-1) jaHiromasa Ougikubo(25-6-2), vastaavasti.

Gadzhi Rabadanov, 29, signed with BELLATOR in 2021 after capturing the Eagle FC lightweight title, and has made an immediate impact on the promotion’s remarkably deep lightweight division. He announced his arrival in thunderous fashion atBELLATOR 263with an emphatic viral knockout of Daniel Carey, which he followed up with back-to-back dominant unanimous decision victories over Jay Jay Wilson and Bobby King in 2022. The product of the renowned Club Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s School in Dagestan and the prestigious American Kickboxing Academy, Rabadanov’s pedigree is world-class. On New Year’s Eve, Rabadanov will look to continue building upon his momentum with an impressive performance against Koji Takeda.

“It is a childhood dream come true to fight in Japan at the legendary Saitama Super Arena,” said Rabadanov. “I’m very excited and I know I have a tough opponent, who always leaves everything in the ring. Expect a masterpiece from me, it will be a memorable fight.”

A former DEEP lightweight champion, Japan’sKoji Takedahas been an active fighter since his 2017 ammatillinen debyytti. Takeda boasts a compelling case for inclusion on this historic fight card, winning seven of his last ten and three of his last four outings under the RIZIN and DEEP banners. Takeda is also familiar with BELLATOR foes; he has previously fought Spike Carlyle and submitted Zach Zane by armbar, both of whom fought recently for the Scott Coker-led promotion. Takeda will look to add a third straight win to his resume against the highly-touted Rabadanov in his hometown of Saitama, Japani, joulukuuta 31.

Friday night’s Bellator 278 will be a special event free for current military, veteraanit, and first responders. Matchups and additional details for the event will be announced shortly.

Saturday night’s Bellator 279 will feature the launch of the highly anticipated one-million-dollar BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix. The headliner will see current bantamweight world champion Sergio Pettis (22-5) take on No. 3-sijoittui Raufeon Stots (17-1), while the co-main event features a rematch between the greatest female mixed martial artist of all time, Cris Cyborg (25-2, 1 NC) and Australia’s No. 1-sijoittui Arlene Blencowe (15-8), who will look to claim gold in her third attempt at a world title.

Lauantain Bellator 279: Pettis vs. Stots / Kyborgi vs. Blencowe 2 will air live on SHOWTIME at 4:30 p.m. HST paikallisaika, 10:30 p.m. JA / 7:30 p.m. PT. The preliminary fights will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube-kanava ja Pluto TV alkaen klo 2 p.m. HST paikallisaika, 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT.

Tickets for Saturday night’s Bellator 279: Pettis vs. Stots / Kyborgi vs. Blencowe 2 go on sale this Friday, Maaliskuu 11 and can be purchased through Bellator.com, sekä Ticketmaster.com or the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena Box Office. A special presale will take place on Thursday, Maaliskuu 10.

Also scheduled for a return to action, Honolulu’s own former Women’s Flyweight World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (11-1) will return home to compete against Justine Kish (7-5) as the No. 1 ranked women’s flyweight looks to start her journey back to a world title in the same arena two of the most memorable BELLATOR main events in recent memory took place. Opening the four-fight main card is another BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal matchup between No. 2-sijoittui kääpiösarjalainen Hajanainen sekoitus (15-1) and former BELLATOR and Rizin Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4).

Current BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Sergio “The Phenom” Pettis sits at No. 7 on the promotion’s pound-for-pound list. He successfully defended his belt for the first time against former BELLATOR 135-pound titleholder Kyoji Horiguchi with a “knockout of the year” style finish at Bellator 272 joulukuussa. The hard-hitting Midwesterner out of Milwaukee originally captured the crown by outpointing former champion Juan Archuleta. The younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will be in for one of the toughest fights of his career when he takes on Raufeon Stots. Stots, who used to train alongside Pettis for several years, has been flawless since making his promotion debut in December 2019. He most recently scored a dominant unanimous decision victory over Magomed Magomedov at Bellator 264.

Featherweight world champion and top-ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter Cris “Cyborg” has made three straight title defenses including a second-round submission of Arlene Blencowe in 2020, which surprisingly is the lone submission victory of her storied career. The Brazilian native who currently fights out of Las Vegas, Nev. is a “Grand Slam Champion” having won belts in four different organizations. She sports 20 wins by finish with victories over elite competition including Holly Holm, Leslie Smith (kahdesti), Gina Carano and aims to further her legacy as the greatest women’s mixed martial artist of all time in the rematch versus Blencowe. Australia’s Blencowe is BELLATOR’s No. 6 pound-for-pound female fighter and the No. 1 sijoittui höyhenenkevyt. She has won five of her last six fights and earned her shot at the world title rematch with a unanimous decision over Pam Sorenson at BELLATOR 271 marraskuussa.

Currently BELLATOR’s No. 2 sijoittui kääpiösarjalainen, Patchy Mix recently defeated James Gallagher via submission in his last outing at BELLATOR 270 Dublinissa. Mix has made a name for himself in the BELLATOR cage by displaying impressive submissions and his lone professional loss came to former champion Juan Archuleta. He now faces Horiguchi, another former world champion who hails from Takasaki, Japani. The American Top Team prodigy Horiguchi became a simultaneous, kahden ylennyksen mestari 2019 after he upset then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell while also holding the RIZIN Championship. After he was forced to relinquish his BELLATOR title due to an injury, Horiguchi nearly got his hands back on BELLATOR’s title but was stopped by current champion Sergio Pettis in December. The No. 5 ranked bantamweight now aims to get back in the winning column and recapture his belt, along with the million-dollar prize that awaits the winner of the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

Sergio Pettis: – Tulin tänne ja minua hakattiin neljä kierrosta. Milloin se tapahtui, Olin ihan kuin, 'Mies, häviän tämän taistelun. Minun on tehtävä jotain mahtavaa.' Se (ratkaiseva lyönti, joka päätti taistelun) tuli oikeaan aikaan."

"Minun piti kohdata vastoinkäymisiä, ja tänä iltana Horiguchi antoi minulle kaiken sen. Oli vaikea yrittää ajoittaa hänen rytmiään, yrittää saada liikettä alas."

Se on 100 mailia (tunnissa) pikapallo. minun täytyy käyttää sitä. Viimeinen taistelu, En. Halusin kokeilla ja sekoittaa sitä, muuta tyyliäni. Olin kilpailukykyinen, mutta minun piti palata juurilleni."

”Asetin itselleni paljon paineita. Minulle kuoli läheinen ystävä. Hän oli nurkassani muutaman viime taisteluni aikana. En halunnut mennä kotiin tappiolla. En halunnut ottaa ylimääräistä mahdollisuutta. Halusin voittaa jokaisen vaihdon. Halusin voittaa joka sekunti, tämän taistelun joka hetki. En välittänyt miltä se näytti. Minun piti saada "w."

"Minä kuulun sinne (Bellator MMA World Grand Prix -kilpailussa). Tiedän, että tämä jako on pinottu, joten ymmärrän (miksi häntä ei otettu mukaan). haluan sisään. Jos on vammoja tai vetäytymiä, Olen sinun miehesi."

"Näin hänet (Scoggins) meni alas ja tiesi, että hän oli poissa. Ei ollut mitään järkeä jatkaa."

"Hän (Scoggins) on hyvin perinteinen, karate-esque. Valmentajani ja minä työskentelimme aika paljon ajoituksen kanssa. Tiesin, että ensimmäinen kierros saattaa olla hieman hankala. Sain lyönnin ensimmäisessä, mutta se ei ollut rahasta kiinni. Toisessa (siihen loppui tappelu) oli.”

BELLATOR SENDS BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DARRION CALDWELL TO JAPAN ON NEW YEAR’S EVE TO CHALLENGE KYOJI HORIGUCHI FOR INAUGURAL RIZIN FF 135-POUND TITLE

 

cid:image002.png@01D48760.56661D90

LOS ANGELES - Bellator is pleased to announce that the organization’s current bantamweight titleholder Darrion Caldwell (13-1) will represent the promotion in an exciting matchup against 2017 Rizin Bantamweight Grand Prix winner Kyoji Horiguchi (25-2). The two will compete for the inaugural Rizin bantamweight championship at Rizin 14 maanantaina, Joulukuu. 31 from Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japani.

 

 

 

In the three-round (15-minute) Rizin FF world championship bout – which will be held in a ring under Rizin’s unique rule set – the victor of Caldwell vs. Horiguchi will leave Japan’s historic combat sports venue a Rizin FF champion. Caldwell’s Bellator bantamweight title will not be on the line in the contest.

 

 

 

The latest agreement between Bellator and Rizin FF furthers a collaboration between the two companies which has seen multiple athletes, mukaan lukien Fedor Emelianenko, "Kuningas Mo" Lawalia ja Hisaki Kato muun muassa, compete interpromotionally, but never before has a title from either promotion been on the line.

 

 

 

“Working for the Japanese fight company K-1 was a magical time during my promotional career and I have always felt strongly that MMA in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ would rise again. It truly is amazing to see what Nobuyuki Sakakibara has been able to do thus far with Rizin FF, so when he reached out to me about putting Darrion Caldwell against Kyoji Horiguchi for Rizin’s belt, we spoke to Darrion and he jumped at the opportunity,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “Bellator wants to support Rizin, and by sending our bantamweight champion to compete during their New Year’s Eve event, we look forward to this leading towards more collaboration between the two promotions in 2019. I want to wish Darrion luck in his quest to prove he is the best 135-pound fighter on the planet.”

 

 

 

“I am very grateful and honored that Bellator and Scott Coker would send us their unarguable bantamweight champion to fight for Rizin’s first-ever world title fight. This title fight will be a true champion vs. champion to determine the world’s best bantamweight fighter,” Rizin FF President Nobuyuki Sakakibara said. “We hope this kind gesture will kick off of a series of exciting matchups between both promotions in 2019. My dream would be that eventually we can co-promote a mega event in both countries with a ‘Champion Carnival’ taking place where stories and rivalries can be built and told.”
