WHAT DOES WINNING THAT BELT MEAN TO YOU?

Karl Amoussou: That belt is my entry ticket to the UFC. I am bringing it back to France.

Matt Inman: This belt is my path, I’ve been with Cage Warriors a long time. This is my eighth fight with the promotion and I feel like I’ve been on this path along time. Jsem připraven.

Karl Amoussou: So am I.

DO YOU FEEL ANY PRESSURE GOING INTO THIS FIGHT?

MY: The only pressure I feel is the pressure I put upon myself to put in the best performance I can.

KA: Pressure is always present during a fight, I know I’m going to have the best version of Matt Inman facing me and he’s going to be ready for the best version of Karl Amoussou. No problem with the pressure, I’ll deal with it.

IS THIS A CAREER-DEFINING FIGHT FOR YOU?

KA: Yes this is definitely a career-defining fight. Now I have to be in the UFC. I belong in the UFC, I should be in the UFC already and after this fight I will definitely be there, bez pochyb.

MY: Without a doubt, this is the biggest fight of my career against the highest-profile opponent.

ARE YOU EXCITED TO BE HEADLINING AT INDIGO AT THE O2?

MY: I’m excited to be headlining at Indigo at The O2. I’ve waited a long time for this opportunity and I’m just extremely excited to get in there.

MY: Powerful, aggressive and experienced.

DOES YOUR OPPONENT DESERVE TO BE FIGHTING IN THE UFC ALREADY? AND IF SO, WHY?

MY: I think this is a fight where both of us should have been fighting in the UFC a long time ago, there’s no question of that. This is a fight that could be on any main card, on any UFC event.

KA: Just like Matt I think exactly the same. We both have our place in the UFC and after this fight there is only going to be space for one but we definitely both deserve to be there.

THERE’S NOT MUCH ANIMOSITY BETWEEN THE PAIR OF YOU. DOES THAT MAKE THE FIGHT ANY HARDER TO GET UP FOR IF YOU DON’T HATE THE PERSON IN FRONT OF YOU?

KA: There is no need for me to have any animosity against an opponent, I think it’s a waste of energy. I know what my goal is, I’m pretty sure Matt knows what his goal is and I think we have the same. We are both going to do our job and, on my part, I know exactly what I’m going to do. So there’s no need for animosity.

MY: I never require animosity when facing an opponent. My focus is on performing the best I can and that would be the same whatever way I felt about my opponent and that’s what I guarantee I’ll do come fight night.

NA ZÁVĚR, HOW WILL THE FIGHT END?

MY: I’m not going to make predictions for how this fight will end. I’m expecting a tough fight and a real challenge, but I’m ready to come out the winner.

KA: I’m going to make a prediction. This fight is going to end either by KO or submission. I’ll be ready for five rounds and I’ll be ready for a submission or a KO in every single round, so be ready for it, také.

Bojovník SBG Manchester je připraven učinit prohlášení v sobotu v Indigo v The O2

S návrhy na světové tituly a budoucností v UFC, Martin Stapleton říká, že je připraven učinit prohlášení v Cage Warriors 80 tento víkend.

Stapleton (18-4) byl vyhledávaným volným hráčem, který připravil několik nabídek na smlouvy z celého světa, ale nakonec to byli Cage Warriors, kteří mu dávali největší smysl, když vypadá, že se dostane až na vrchol..

“Měl jsem hodně nabídek, a některé opravdu lukrativní nabídky, také,"Řekl.

“Ale když jsem to všechno zvážil, Cage Warriors pro mě byla nejlepší cesta.

“Je to kvůli množství kluků, kteří prošli, se stal mistrem světa Cage Warriors, přešli do UFC a teď jdou do zadku. A je tu pár kluků, kteří touto cestou vyhráli světové tituly UFC.

„A s tím, že se zápasy zobrazují na BT Sport a UFC Fight Pass, dává mi to nejlepší platformu, jak se dostat do UFC.

"Všechny byly masivními faktory při podpisu smlouvy s Cage Warriors spíše než s jednou z dalších organizací."

Stapleton se utká s Anthonym Dizym ve váze 150 liber v Indigo v The O2 v sobotu večer v Cage Warriors 80 jak se později v tomto roce zaměří na slávu mistrovství světa.

“Chci ten opasek,"Řekl.

“Můžu bojovat 145, 155 a dokonce stoupat tak vysoko jako 170. Ale hned teď, Zaměřil jsem se na ten 145lb titul. To je největší boj, a chci velké boje.

“Já mám 100% víra v sebe sama. Vím, že jsem bojově zkoušen. Vím, že jsem připraven tam jít s kýmkoli.

“Právě teď mě můžeš dát do kontaktu s kýmkoli na světě a já se budu držet svého. Právě teď bych porazil 95% z nich, a za pár let budu v bodě, kdy porazím 100% z nich.”

A když mluvíme o víkendovém boji v Londýně, Stapleton řekl, že se zaměřuje na jednu věc – nárokovat si rozhodující vítězství v zastavení.

“Od svých soupeřů nikdy nic neočekávám, řekl.

“Jdu tam s čistou myslí, připraven na vše, co se v kleci stane. Nesleduji ani souboje svých soupeřů. Znám jeho jméno. Jediné, co musím udělat, je vycvičit si prdel, vlez do klece a udělej to.

“Chci se tam dostat a dokončit toho chlapa. Od minuty, kdy zvonek zazní do 15. minuty boje, se ho budu snažit ukončit.”

NORTHERN IRELAND’S OWN JAMES ‘THE STRABANIMAL’ GALLAGHER ALSO SET TO RETURN TO ACTION

SANTA MONICA, KALIFORNIE (Říjen 12, 2016) – Check Ireland off the list of countries Bellator MMA has yet to hold an event in, with the announcement that the Scott Coker-led promotion is set for action at the heart of Dublin’s docklands on Dec. 16.

 

"Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii” emanates from the state-of-the-art 3Arena, and will be headlined by a heavyweight fight pitting “King Mo” (19-5, 1 NC) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1). Ireland will also have one of its brightest prospects on the card as well, as the pride of Strabane, James Gallagher (4-0) returns home against a yet-to-be-announced foe.

The event can be seen free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. A/8 p.m. CT. Additional main and preliminary card bouts will be announced in the coming weeks.

 

Kromě toho, Europe’s leading mixed martial arts promotion BAMMA will be holding “BAMMA 27,” alongside "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii” in an effort to showcase some of the world’s leading MMA athletes from both organizations. “BAMMA 27” will be headlined by a bantamweight title fight pitting Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) proti Alan Philpott (16-8), as well as a featherweight title fight featuring Ronnie Mann (25-8-1) against former Bellator MMA competitor Martin Stapleton (18-4).

 

“When thinking of a country that respects, understands and yearns for quality mixed martial arts action, Ireland immediately comes to mind,"Prohlásil Bellator MMA prezident Scott Coker. “I’m very excited for this event, with ‘King Mo’ versus Ishii in the main event, and I cannot wait to be inside the 3Arena when ‘The Strabanimal,’ James Gallagher takes center stage, it’s going to be a madhouse. S tím bylo řečeno, I’m pleased to be bringing this action to Dublin alongside a promotion like BAMMA and David Green, who has been a good friend for years.”

 

BAMMA CEO David Green added: “It’s going to be the biggest and boldest MMA show in Ireland this year, as fans get the chance to get up close and personal with MMA superstars from both promotions.

 

“King Mo” returns to the cage for the second time in 2016, and first time at heavyweight since his Rizin Grand Prix heavyweight tournament victory. A winner in seven out of his last eight fights, Mo yearns for an opportunity to meet the winner of Liam McGeary versus Phil Davis na “Bellator 163,” naListopad. 4, but instead of remaining inactive, the 35-year-old now looks to test himself against Ishii. A former Strikeforce champion, Mo has his sights set on adding Bellator gold to his mantel.

 

Ishii is a 29-year-old powerhouse Judoka who earned Gold at the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing after defeating the best the world had to offer in the +100 kg divize. Now fully focused on mixed martial arts, the Japanese star has competed in his home country almost exclusively throughout his 21-fight professional career and will be fighting three days ahead of his Prosince. 19 birthday when he meets Lawal on Prosince. 16 in Ireland. With half of his victories coming before judges’ scorecards, it’s worth noting that four of Ishii’s defeats have come at the hands of some of greatest the sport has to offer such as Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Mirko Cro Cop and Fedor Emelianenko.

 

Perfect through his first four professional fights, the 19-year-old Gallagher is one of the brightest stars in all of “The Emerald Island.” Hailing from nearby Straban in Northern Ireland, “The Strabanimal” moved away from home at age 15 to join coach John Kavanagh at Straight Blast Gym (SBG), where he now trains alongside the best fighters in the country including Connor McGregor. Having made his Bellator debut in London this past July when he beat Mike Cutting in London, Gallagher will look to make it five straight to start his career in front of a raucous home crowd. Please note: Gallagher was scheduled to appear at Bellator 164 in Tel Aviv Israel on Listopad. 10, and will no longer be competing on that card. A replacement for him will be named shortly.
