Tim Johnson BELLATOR Heavyweight *Націсніце ВОТto view Johnson’s full media session
“I’m counting this as a title, I’ll let everyone else put interim in front of it. Moldavsky is a championship level fighter and so am I, so in my eyes this fight is to become the best heavyweight in the division.”
“It was easy to focus on his gameplan because it is the exact same thing I do. We both are strong wrestlers and have heavy ground and pound. I guess we are going to have see who does it better on Friday.”
“My resurgence in my career comes from me not doubting myself. I lost a few in a row and it was an easy excuse to quit and doubt myself, but I didn’t, and I was able to rip off three in a row and put myself in a position to win a title.”
Valentin Moldavsky BELLATOR Heavyweight *Націсніце ВОТto view Moldavsky’s full media session “Yes, there are some similarities between me and Tim. My style is a little different, хоць, I like to take people down and finish them there.”
“Now that this is a title fight, I understand that there is more on the line, but this is just another fight for me. I plan to do what I always do and that is fight my fight and come out with a victory.”
“It is an honor to train with Fedor and represent his team.”
“His wrestling is not better than mine, and my sambo is going to be more impactful than his wrestling.’ Liz Carmouche BELLATOR Women’s Flyweight
*Націсніце ВОТto view Carmouche’s full media session
“I plan to get a dominant finish and earn a title shot. I don’t think either of us want this to go to a decision. Weather it be me knocking her out, cutting her open or ground and pound, I plan to finish this fight in a dominating fashion.”
“It is really exciting to fight in front of the fans and feel that energy again. Walking in and walking out is where you feel it, but when I step foot in the cage it is just me and my opponent.”
“This has nothing to do with Kana and her record. I have to put on a dominant performance and show why I deserve to be the champion in this division. When I got to Bellator, I wanted to climb all the way up the rankings, and that is what I have done and plan on continuing to do.”
“Without giving too much away I see a lot of possibilities here. I see a lot of disabilities in her game that I can capitalize on that will enhance my game. This will allow me to put on a great performance and finish her.”

“Liz is one of the biggest names I have ever fought, but this does not change my mindset or make me feel pressure. I am honored to fight Liz and can’t wait to step foot in the cage with her.”
“I am honored to be the co-main event on Friday. That all means nothing, хоць, if I don’t put on a show and an impressive performance. I plan to do that.’ Myles Jury BELLATOR Lightweight
“I try to focus on the things I can control, but a win Friday along with how I have been fighting should put me in the conversation for a title shot.”
“I credit my toughness for this two-fight win streak. I continue to show up and work hard. When I was on that three-fight losing streak, I did not allow for myself to get down. After Friday I will be on a three-fight win streak and in a great spot for a shot at the title, and I credit my toughness and resilience for that.”
Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Lightweight “I have improved in every way possible. Jury is just another guy who breathes air, so I have nothing to worry about.”
“Fighting guys like Michael Chandler have helped me, but at the end of the day it is me vs. мне. I am confident, and that has translated to every other aspect of my life. I am prepared for this fight and am going to put on a show.”

“I am here to put myself in a position to get a ranked opponent, and Christian Edwards is in my way. I think he looked good in his last fight, but I am not his last opponent. I hope he is ready because I am.”

Fresh off of an impressive victory overГенры Корралес наBellator 238 раней у гэтым годзе, Juan Archuleta will look to capture the promotion’s vacant bantamweight strap. Fighting out of Hesperia, Каліфорнія., the 32-year-old knockout artist will once again drop down a weight class for a shot at the world title, something he successfully accomplished on four separate occasions while competing for regional promotion King of the Cage (light welterweight, лёгкі, flyweight and bantamweight). Following a hard-fought featherweight world title bout withПатрысіо Pitbulllast September, “The Spaniard” returns to bantamweight, where he has been undefeated for over five years.
Currently fighting out of Jackson Wink MMA in Albuquerque, Н.М., Patchy Mix will make his fourth appearance for Bellator, where he has tallied three first-round submission victories. The 26-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.-native hopes to remain undefeated and build off of his most recent win on New Year’s Eve, which saw “No Love” earn a guillotine choke-submission over Yuki Motoya at Bellator’s co-promotional event with Rizin atRizin.20у Японіі. Prior to his time with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Mix dominated his competition in all nine of his fights with King of the Cage, collecting five first round finishes. Зараз, the submission specialist will face the toughest test of his young career, a matchup with the former Bellator featherweight world title contender and a shot at Bellator’s vacant 135-pound strap.

Улічваючы, што гэта падатак сезон, гэта добры час, каб памятаць, што гэта там тры гарантый у жыцці: смерць, падаткі і Роўз, Ронда зноў паказвае, чаму яна лепшая жаночая баец на планеце з першага раўнда знос свайго суперніка.
Прадукцыйнасць Rousey па адрасе UFC 184 у мінулым месяцы быў яе зорны на сённяшні дзень. Яна сцвярджала, іголкі Cat, шырока разглядаецца як вялікай праблемай Rousey ў, у 14 секунд. У той час як Rousey спрыяла абсалютна жахлівай стратэгіі па Zingano, яе віртуознае выступленне прывяло да чарговага абмеркавання, хто мае тое, што патрабуецца, каб зрынуць Rousey. Гэта таксама прывяло да недарэчнай размовы ці не Rousey маглі канкурыраваць супраць і параза мужчын байцоў у вазе падраздзялення UFC,. Менш часу траціцца на тое абсурдную ідэю аб тым нічога не здзяйсняе, але пры спробе дыскрэдытаваць вялікі баец Rousey з'яўляецца, лепш.
Вядома, першае імя, якое заўсёды прыходзіць у Cris "кібарг" Justino, полулегком вазе Invicta FC. Яна, як чакаецца, знізіцца да 135 фунтаў за бойку з Invicta гэтым летам, перш чым перайсці да барацьбы з Rousey. Аднак, Cyborg паспрабаваў ўпасці да пеўня ў мінулым годзе і адмовіўся ад гэтых планаў. Таму я б не затрымліваць дыханне на доўгачаканы матч незадаволенасць паміж Rousey і Кібарг адбываецца ў бліжэйшы час.
Rousey нядаўна выказаў жаданне змагацца бэце Коррейя, якія збіццю два "Чатыры коннік" таварышаў па камандзе Rousey і быў называючы Rousey з калі-небудзь, так як. Джэсіка вачэй таксама паставіў свой прэтэнзію на тытульны бой, але ні адзін з гэтых жанчын ўяўляюць рэальную пагрозу для Rousey. Падчас postfight пакрыцця UFC 184 у, Даніэль Кормье высунуў ідэю свайго калегі Міша Тейт, атрымліваючы трэцюю расколіну ў Rousey.
Акрамя таго, я думаю, трылогіі павінны быць абаронены толькі тады, калі кожны баец мае перамогу над іншай, Я не бачу прычын, чаму трэці раз будзе зачараванне для Тейт. Пакуль яна адзіная жанчына, каб пайсці далей, чым у першым туры з Rousey, Тейт плато як баец, а Rousey стала лепш. Калі двое змагацца ў трэці раз, Я не бачу ніякіх падстаў меркаваць, вынік будзе па-іншаму.
Так, дзе гэта пакінуць Rousey? Па-мойму, яна чысціцца вазе падзел UFC жанчын. Там няма нікога, хто стварае рэальную пагрозу для яе. Калі Zingano рэгуляваць сваю стратэгію і атрымаў яшчэ адзін шанец на Rousey, яна можа мець шанцы на перамогу. Акрамя таго, калі Rousey вырашылі выйсці на верхняй і пабудаваць на яе расце кар'еры ў кіно, Я не думаю, што хто-то будзе трымаць яго супраць яе.
Rousey ў цяперашні час на рахунку падобна перспектыве Андэрсан Сілва на вяршыні сярэднім дывізіёне ў UFC,. Ён дамінаваў ўсіх на сваім шляху, і за яго першы бой з Chael Sonnen выключэннем, Зроблена гэта выглядаць лёгкім. Цяжкая барацьба Rousey на сённяшні дзень супраць Ліз Carmouche, калі яна Rousey ў задушлівым ў першым раўндзе іх паядынку ў 2013 да Rousey атрымалася бегчы і замацуеце іншы болевым перамогу.
Валадаранне Сільвы на вяршыні сярэднім дывізіёне прыйшоў да канца, калі раней невядомы Крыс Weidman прыйшоў і не паказаў ніякага страху і прыняў бой з Сільвай. Можа быць, гэта тое, што павінна адбыцца з Rousey. Яна павінна знайсці суперніка, які атрымае права на яе твары, не даць ёй ні з чыёй боку і прыняць бой з ёй. Іголка, што спрабавалі ў UFC 184, але яе overzealousness абыйшлося ёй дорага.
Да Rousey не знаходзіць свой уласны Крыс Weidman, мы можам дадаць яшчэ цудоўны для многіх, якія ўжо прымацаваныя да жаночай стаў лёгкі вазе: ачышчальнік. Rousey is fresh out of worthy challengers to her crown, Задача яна ажыццяўляецца з дапамогай выдалення яе падзел.
