TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

Leave a comment

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Nollaig. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Agus Ruth (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place Dé hAoine ag "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," ar Nollaig. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

Ag amháin 26 bliain d'aois, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) chomh maith le Aaron Pico agus Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck agus Chris HONEYCUTT, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Samhain. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 isteach sa chéad bhabhta.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, Lena n-áirítear John Salter (12-3), Yamauchi suas (31-9) agus Philipe Lins(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Denise Kielholtz (45-3) agus Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Cosdornálaíochta: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Joe Schilling (19-9) aghaidh Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) le Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), agus kevin Ross(31-9) le chéile Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) i troid lightweight.

ULLMHÚCHÁIN ULLMHÚCHÁIN MAIDIR LE RABHADH AG NEF 27

Leave a comment

 

Lewiston, Maine (Nollaig 7, 2016) Troideanna Nua Sasana (NEF) filleadh ar an Colisee Banc Androscoggin ar Feabhra 11, 2017 lena chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile, “NEF 27: TAIGHDE.” Níos luaithe inniu, d’fhógair an cur chun cinn troda go gcuirfí comórtas gairmiúil leis an gcárta. Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (0-0) a dhéanamh sé ar an bhfoireann ghairmiúil in aghaidh Mike “An Mustache” Hansen (5-4) sa roinn trom.

 

Tá an t-ardú finscéalach atá ag Hylton anois trí chéimeanna na rannóige meáchain amaitéaracha in NEF ar cheann de phríomhscéalta na 2016. Ag 6’6″ agus ag dul thar barr an chliabháin MMA, Gearrann Hylton figiúr maorga. B’fhéidir gurb é an t-aon rud is suntasaí ná méid agus cuma Hylton ná a chumais lúthchleasaíochta. Buailteoir bisiúil, Chríochnaigh Hylton an triúr dá chéile comhraic i mbliana trí bhualadh amach nó trí bhualadh teicniúil.

 

“Rasquatch,” nó mar a thugann lucht leanúna áirithe air “An Seamróig Iamáice,” i ndáiríre thosaigh sé ag ardú fabhraí le bualadh cic ceann-ríl buaice de Matt Glover (1-1) earrach seo caite. Ansin, an mhí seo caite ag “NEF 26,” Phreab Hylton Kevin Smith thar a bheith diana (3-3) go laíon fuilteach. Bhí sé díreach tar éis na feidhmíochta ceannasaí sin gur mhothaigh cóitseálaithe Hylton ag First Class MMA agus Dragon Fire Martial Arts go raibh an t-am ceart aige an léim a dhéanamh chuig na céimeanna pro.

 

“Táim chomh buíoch as a bheith ag troid le fear de stádas Mike Hansen os comhair mo theaghlaigh agus mo chairde,” arsa Hylton. “Mar an chéad trodaire gairmiúil a tháinig amach as Dragon Fire Martial Arts agus First Class MMA, agus le treoir ó Shihan Andy Campbell, John “Rang a hAon” Raio agus mo fhoireann, táimid ag ullmhú dom dul chun cogaidh mar is é sin a thugann Mike leis an gcliabhán i gcónaí.”

 

Iar-churadh iomaíochta trom-stáit Maine as High Valley Mountain, Níor scaoil Mike Hansen riamh ó throid a dhéanamh le duine níos mó ná é. Go deimhin, Hansen, atá san iomaíocht freisin sna rannáin éadrom-throm agus meántéarmacha, Tá cáil bainte amach aige mar rud a “marú ollmhór.”

 

Níos luaithe i mbliana, Chuir Hansen Jesse Baughman i bhfad níos mó isteach (0-2) sa chéad bhabhta ag “NEF 22.” Lean sé leis an bhfeidhmíocht iontach sin trí beagnach Cathanna Brendan a bhualadh i bhfad níos mó (1-1) le lámh dheas ag “NEF 23.” An titim seo thug Hansen suas beagnach leath troigh do Matt Andrikut (2-1) agus chuir sé a chéile comhraic níos mó isteach sa chéad bhabhta. Go deimhin, Is beag ról a bheidh ag buntáiste mhéid Hylton i dtoradh na troda seo má tá aon rud le rá ag Hansen faoi.

 

“Tá mé ar bís Super chun troid,” exclaimed Hansen. “Is maith liom a bheith mar chuid de na ‘sár-troideanna’ seo.’ Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil campa iontach ag Ras taobh thiar de agus tiocfaidh sé 100% ullmhaithe. Ní bheidh mé ag súil le rud ar bith níos lú ó Raio, ach is dóigh liom gurb é an taithí agus an t-uafás atá agam sa chliabhán an tsócmhainn is fearr atá agam agus ní rud é sin ar féidir leis oiliúint a chur air i 10 seachtaine. 11 Feabhra rachaimid chun cogaidh, mar sin bí ag súil leis go díreach.”

PAIR OF INJURIES MAKE WAY FOR BRUNA VARGAS AND BRIAN MOORE ON MAIN CARD OF ‘BELLATOR 169’ INSIDE 3ARENA IN DUBLIN

Leave a comment

 

BANTAMWEIGHT FEATURE FIGHT PITTING SHAY WALSH AGAINST LUIZ TOSTA ALSO ADDED TO MAIN CARD ON Nollaig. 16

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Nollaig 5, 2016) – Injuries to both Paul Redmond agus Bruna Ellen have led to new opponents for Daniel Weichel (37-9) agus Helen Harper (4-1) ar Nollaig 16. Weichel will now face Ireland native Brian Mór (9-4) i bout featherweight, while Harper will be challenged by Bruna Vargas (2-1) in a flyweight fight at 3Arena in Dublin, Éire. Ar deireadh, a bantamweight bout pitting Shay Walsh (14-4) aghaidh Luiz Tosta (9-2) puts a stamp on the main card of "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

The Spike-televised main card will be highlighted by a heavyweight main event pitting “King Mo” (19-5, 1 NC) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1). Chomh maith leis sin, Anthony Taylor (1-1) will look to quiet the crowd as he enters enemy territory to challenge Northern Ireland’s James Gallagher (4-0) in a featherweight clash.

Ticéid le haghaidh "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii” are on sale now and start at 35€ at Bellator.com, Ticketmaster.ie and the 3Arena Box Office. The event can be seen free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. AGUS/8 p.m. CT.

In addition to a full card of Bellator action, ticket holders will also have the unique opportunity to experience an additional fight card from Europe’s leading mixed martial arts promotion, BAMMA. The bantamweight belt will be on the line at “BAMMA 27,” as Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) agus Alan Philpott(16-8) prepare to duke it out for division gold.

Fighting out of Lancaster, Sasana, Walsh will be making his Bellator MMA debut and against the savvy veteran Tosta. Dating back to 2014, Walsh has accrued four victories over his past five contests, including a brutal knockout of Gaz Pilot at “BAMMA 21: DeVent vs. Kone.” Of his 14 career wins, nine have come by way of knockout or submission, making it easy to picture another explosive attack out of the gates by Walsh. After competing in the 145-pound division for the first 15 fights of his professional career, Walsh made the move down to the bantamweight division, where he has strung together wins in two of his first three appearances.

The 36-year-old Tosta enters the bout riding a recent string of success that includes victories in seven of his last eight contests with one draw. Hailing from Sao Paulo, Bhrasaíl, Tosta will be making his second appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, after recording the aforementioned draw in his promotional debut earlier this year at “Bellator 158.” With each of his nine career victories coming by way of submission, seven of which occurred in the first round, it’s clear that Tosta will once again look for the early takedown and finish his opponent.

Filling in for the injured Redmond is Brian Moore, as he enters the cage riding a current two-fight winning streak and a blossoming career that is ready to take off. The 29-year-old Moore has won five of his last seven contests, including a trio of first round victories, highlighted by a vicious knockout that came just 2:30 into his bout earlier in the year. Of his nine career wins, Moore has finished seven of his victims, making him a tall task for the wily veteran Weichel. A native of Wexford, Éire, “The Pikeman” will not have to travel far for his upcoming showdown with one of Bellator MMA’s most proven veterans, as “The Weasel” will enter hostile territory for this face-off.

Replacing Ellen is the always dangerous Bruna Vargas, who will square off with Harper in search of her first win under the direction of Bellator MMA. The 27-year-old Vargas has recorded two wins over three contests, since making her professional debut in 2013. Hailing from Porto Alegre, Bhrasaíl, the Team Nogueira prospect hopes to redeem herself with a promising performance against another stiff opponent in Harper.
