ກັບຊຸດ Bantamweight World Grand Prix, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-ອັນ​ດັບJuan Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, ລວມ​ທັງ 12 by way of K.O. ຫລື​ການ​ຍື່ນ​ສະ​ເຫນີ, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.

ເຮັດ​ແນວ​ໃດ​ບໍ່. 2 ອັນດັບ Bantamweight – Raufeon Stets (17-1):

Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fightersRaufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, ບໍ່​ມີ​ການ. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 ການ​ບັນ​ທຶກ, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.

ເຮັດ​ແນວ​ໃດ​ບໍ່. 3 ອັນດັບ Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):

Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, N.Y., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.. native looks to build off his most recent win atBellator 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, ໄອ​ແລນ, ເດືອນ​ທີ່​ຜ່ານ​ມາ. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, including five first-round finishes. ໃນ​ປັດ​ຈຸ​ບັນ, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.

ເຮັດ​ແນວ​ໃດ​ບໍ່. 4 ອັນດັບ Bantamweight – Magomed Magomedov (18-2):

ເຮັດ​ແນວ​ໃດ​ບໍ່. 5 ອັນດັບ Bantamweight – Leandro Higo (21-5):

ຫຼັງຈາກຫຼຸດລົງໃນນ້ໍາຫນັກເຖິງ 135-ປອນ, Leandro Higo ໄດ້ນ້ຳຕາໂດຍການຊະນະການສູ້ສາມຄັ້ງຕິດຕໍ່ກັນ ແລະ ເຮັດໃຫ້ການແບ່ງປະເພດ bantamweight ທັງໝົດເປັນທີ່ຈະແຈ້ງ.. ພາຍໃຕ້ການສອນຂອງຄ້າຍ Pitbull Brothers ທີ່ມີຊື່ສຽງ, ຊາວບຣາຊິລກຳລັງອອກມາຕໍ່ສູ້ຢ່າງໜັກ, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBellator 259 ໃນ​ເດືອນ​ພຶດ​ສະ​ພາ 2021. ເປັນ 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.

ເຮັດ​ແນວ​ໃດ​ບໍ່. 6 ອັນດັບ Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):

Hailing from Strabane, ໄອ​ແລນ, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBellator 169 ໃນ​ເດືອນ​ທັນ​ວາ 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBellator 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, ແລະເພີ່ມມໍລະດົກຂອງຕົນເອງດ້ວຍການສັກຢາຢູ່ທີ່ BELLATOR bantamweight ຄໍາ.

c-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) ແພ້ #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) ຜ່ານ TKO (ການ​ໂຈມ​ຕີ) ຢູ່​ໃນ 4:51 ຂອງ​ຫ້າ​ໄດ້​ຕະ​ຫຼອດ

Cris Cyborg after retaining the title:

“I knew she was tough and I’ve fought her before. I know her and respect her and she’s a real fighter. I knew with her it would be a great match, because she’s capable and she’s tough."

“I was really working in sparring to keep going and going because I knew it was going to be this way. I noticed I enjoyed it a little more. It’s going to be 16 years as a professional fighter this month so I started to enjoy it in there."



“I’ve been working on grappling my whole life but I just feel like I’m getting better and better every day. I got a black belt, but it’s like a white belt because I’m always learning."

“I’ve been doing this 16 ປີ, I’ve got four titles. But before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’ So, I’d like to fight with Cat Zingano and I will ask Scott Coker. Because before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) ແພ້ Darrion Caldwell (15-5) ຜ່ານ​ການ​ແບ່ງ​ປັນ​ການ​ຕັດ​ສິນ​ໃຈ (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“I’ve been waiting for this fight for three years now. It’s exactly how I wanted it to go. I used my wrestling and I used my jiu-jitsu. I’m a complete fighter and I’m ready for any fighter on the planet because I believe I’m the best. I knew I had lost the first round, but in the second when he was throwing all those elbows and cut me open, I’m from a poor family in Brazil and that was nothing I hadn’t seen before. I felt happy being in that cage with blood all over me.

“He ended up taking me down in the second and I went for a kimura, which is something I’m very accustomed to doing, but he reversed it but then he didn’t do anything and I hit him with a lot of strikes on bottom. A lot of elbows and strikes and I stayed very on bottom and he wasn’t doing anything. That’s why I won the second and third round.”

“I think that I deserve a title shot. I just beat three of the biggest names in the game and I just beat a former world champion. And nobody has beaten the top three guys of this world-class caliber like I have done in three consecutive wins. I’m going for that world title and that’s what’s next for me. So let’s make it fast.”

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) ແພ້ #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) ຜ່ານ​ການ​ຕັດ​ສິນ​ໃຈ unanimous (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford following his unanimous decision win:

“I like my fights bloody, whether it’s me or my opponent. I’ll get a scab. But hats off to Fabian who cut me up a little bit. But happy to get the win.”

“He was a big, strong guy. I started feeling him give me that head and arm choke. ແຕ່​ຫນ້າ​ເສຍ​ດາຍ, I didn’t capitalize on it. But I knew what I was going to do. I was going to just grind it out. He’s a good striker so I had to be careful but I felt good. Wrestling … it’s my heart. I’m ready for the next step.”

Jaleel Willis (15-2) ແພ້ Maycon Mendonca (11-5) ຜ່ານ​ການ​ຕັດ​ສິນ​ໃຈ unanimous (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) ແພ້ #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) ຜ່ານ​ການ​ຕັດ​ສິນ​ໃຈ unanimous (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy following her first win inside the BELLATOR cage…

“I felt like I had really good cardio, so that was awesome because I was really worried about that a little bit. I’m so thankful she took the fight and I’m so thankful BELLATOR gave me this opportunity.

“I thought I was going to finish with the triangle (choke), ດ້ວຍ​ຄວາມ​ຊື່​ສັດ. She just slipped right out of there, so that was awesome of her. Her defense was really good. I was really impressed with that. I didn’t know what her ground game was but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

“Grappling is just where I want to be if you’ve seen any of my other fights. My striking has really improved a lot though so I’m hoping to change that. But grappling has always been my strong suit. I didn’t want to just depend on my grappling, but I thought I landed some shots pretty well a few times. In this fight I thought I could see when the punches were coming. And I was able to defend a little bit better and how I’ve grown. So I’m just really proud of myself right now.”

“Darrion Caldwell is an exciting young fighter that has worked his way to the top of a very competitive bantamweight division to become a world champion,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “I’m excited to see what he can do in his first title defense against Leandro Higo, who is an incredibly tough competitor with the ability to submit his opponent at any time. The fans are in for a great matchup between these two grapplers.”

 

The event will be broadcast live and free on Paramount Network at 9 p.m. ແລະ/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and globally on the Bellator Mobile App. ປີ້​ສໍາ​ລັບ​ການ Bellator 195: Caldwell vs. ຮູບ ໄປ​ກ່ຽວ​ກັບ​ການ​ຂາຍ​ນີ້ ວັນ​ສຸກ, Dec. 22 ຢູ່​ໃນ 10 a.m. CT and can be purchased at the WinStar World Casino and Resort box office, as well as through Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

Higo signed with Bellator in February riding an eight-fight win-streak and earned the Legacy Fighting Alliance 135-pound crown in the process. Fresh off animpressive win ຕໍ່ ໂຈ້ທິມປັງໂລ, the 28-year-old Pitbull Brothers product also competed on ການ Fighter Ultimate: Brazil 4 ໃນ 2015. A proud carrier of the Olympic torch ahead of the 2016 Summer Games in Brazil, “Pitbull” will now set his sights on carrying the torch in Bellator’s bantamweight division.

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. “ໃນ​ເວ​ລາ​ທີ່ [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, ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ຝຶກ​ອົບ​ຮົມ. 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 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’ ການ​ຕໍ່​ສູ້.

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 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 Quote:

 

“ຂ້າ​ພະ​ເຈົ້າ​ກໍ່, 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. Tonight 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 tooit 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.

BUDAPEST, HUNGARY – Several fighters from both Bellator 177: Dantas vs. ຮູບ ແລະ Bellator Kickboxing 6 gathered in Budapest this morning to speak with the media about their upcoming fights ວັນ​ສຸກ​ນີ້ night inside the Budapest Sports Arena.

Two titles will be on the line, as Eduardo “Dudu” Dantas defends his Bellator bantamweight belt against former LFA champ Leandro Higo, while Bellator kickboxing welterweight titleholder Zoltan Laszak takes on Karim Ghajji in a championship rematch.

 

Bellator 177: Dantas vs. ຮູບ will be broadcast ວັນ​ສຸກ, ເດືອນ​ເມ​ສາ 14 on SPIKE at 9 p.m. ແລະ/8 p.m. CT, ໃນ​ຂະ​ນະ​ທີ່ Bellator Kickboxing 6 will air immediately following the MMA portion of the event, ເລີ່ມ​ຕົ້ນ​ຢູ່ 11pm ET/10pm CT.

ຂ້າງ​ລຸ່ມ​ນີ້, you can find quotes from today’s press conference.

Bellator Bantamweight World Champion Eduardo Dantas:

“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. ຂໍ​ຂອບ​ໃຈ​ທ່ານ, Budapest, for the reception. I’m very happy to be here and I’m looking forward to putting on a good show ວັນ​ສຸກ​ນີ້!"

“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.”

“I’m ready. 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. ແນ່​ນອນ, I bring numbers, ທີ່​ທ່ານ​ຮູ້​ຈັກ, so I’m expecting this should bring over a million viewers, hands down.”

“I want to thank you all for coming here and showing the support. We’re going to put on a showone hell of a show. We’re going to get these ratings up and have so much fun. Definitely.”

“Hands down, pound for pound, everyone knows I am the strongest 145-er in the division and if anybody stands in my way or stands in the middle of the cage and wants to bang with me, they’re gonna get knocked out. 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 ວັນ​ສຸກ he will be 9-1.”

Bellator Kickboxing Welterweight World Champion Zoltan Laszak

“I’d like to thank Bellator very much for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to this this rematch with Ghajji. This is a great chance to really entertain and I appreciate the support from all of the Hungarian fans. I feel their cheers and support every day.”

“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, I’ve prepared myself very well, and this will be an explosive fight ໃນ​ວັນ​ສຸກ."
