ONCE UNDEFEATED BANTAMWEIGHTS LOOK TO GET BACK IN THE WIN COLUMN

Lewiston, Maine (Settembre 29, 2016) – They started their amateur careers at a perfect 3-0, rispettivamente. Ora, Fred Lear(3-2) e Ali Zebian (3-3) are both hoping to get back to their winning ways.

 

The mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout between Lear and Zebian will take place onNovembre 4 alla “CES vs. NEF: Supremacysuper-show in Lewiston. The televised portion of the fight card, “CES 39,will air live on AXS TV. Lear and Zebian will battle on the non-televised portion of the card, “NEF 26,” al limite del peso gallo di 135 libbre.

 

Fred Lear is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. He made his NEF debut at “NEF IX” a Biddeford, Maine in the summer of 2013. Lear would finish two of his first three bouts, with a unanimous decision victory over the always-tough Carl Langston (5-8) sandwiched in between.

 

Lear has dropped his last two, including a title-qualifier to Henry Clark (3-2) last September in Lewiston. He will be looking to rebound from that loss, but he knows Zebian presents a hefty challenge. It is a challenge that Lear welcomes.

 

Fighting Ali Zebian on November 4th is a monumental opportunity,” declared Lear. “He is powerful, talented and well coached. I love to compete and am excited for the fight to come.

 

Ali Zebian represents Fighting Arts Academy (POCHI) di Springfield, Massachusetts. He was just 19-years old when he made his mixed-martial-arts debut in 2013. The start to his career was nothing short of stellar. Zebian finished his first three opponents by technical knockout.

 

While Zebian has lost his last three, those losses have been to opponents coming in with a combined record of 8-3-1. He has faced stiff competition, and he will face it once again on Novembre 4 against Fred Lear.

 

Ali is one of the strongest and most tenacious guys I have ever trained with,” said Zebian’s FAA teammate Nick Newell. “Simple errors cost him his last couple fights, but time off competing to focus on his technique have made him a new man. FAA head coach Jeremy Libiszewski and I have noticed his potential for some time now, and it’s finally all starting to come together.

HEAVYWEIGHTS WILL BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY ON NOVEMBER 4 A Lewiston

Lewiston, Maine (Settembre 27, 2016) – SuVenerdì, Novembre 4, 2016 at the historic Androscoggin Bank Colisee, New England Combattimenti (NEF) and Classic Entertainment & Sportivo (CES) will team up for a joint super-show featuring the stars of New England’s two most prestigious mixed-martial-arts promotions.

 

The televised portion of the fight card, “CES 39,will air live on AXS TV. Proprio oggi, NEF executives announced the first fight scheduled for the non-televised portion of the card, “NEF 26.Maine heavyweights Ras Hylton (2-0) e Kevin Smith (3-2) will collide in a battle of two of the region’s largest mixed-martial-artists.

 

Standing in at a towering 6’6,and holding a black belt in Taekwondo, undefeated Ras Hylton, has become a quick fan-favorite during his short time in NEF. “Ras-squath,” as he has become known amongst his many fans, made his NEF cage debut in February of this year, downing Zak Bergeron (0-1) just over a minute into the first round of their “NEF 21” fine. Hylton would follow up that performance with a highlight-reel head-kick knockout of Matt Glover (1-1) which will undoubtedly be in the running for “KO of the Year” honors. He is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine.

 

I am looking forward to fighting Kevin Smith November 4th,” said Hylton when reached for comment. “Young’s puts out great fighters and I’m sure he will live up to their reputation. The more wins you get, the tougher your opponents are. He will be my strongest challenge in the cage so far.

 

It has been over two years since Kevin Smith stepped into an MMA cage to compete. Prior to that time, Smith had been undefeated on NEF events. All three of his victories with the promotion were finishestwo by way of submission and one knockout. Like Hylton, Smith has never had to rely on the judges’ scorecard. He is a member of Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine. During his time off from active cage competition, Smith took stock of his life goals and decided to make a career of mixed-martial-arts.

 

I knew deep down that fighting is what I was made to do, and I won’t be happy doing a regular job,” shared Smith, “so I put everything aside to focus on this full time and my ultimate goal is to make it to the big show and fight in Bellator or the UFC.

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Settembre 23, 2016) – A light heavyweight title fight pitting current belt-holder Liam McGeary (11-0) contro Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (16-3) will serve as the main event at "Bellator 163: McGeary vs. Davis" su Novembre 4 al Mohegan Sun Arena di Uncasville, Conn.

 

The SPIKE-televised main card will also feature a welterweight battle between Si Awad (19-8) and Connecticut’s own Brennan Ward (13-4), as well as a female featherweight contest pitting Marloes Coenen (23-7) against undefeated Brazilian Talita Nogueira (6-0).

Undefeated light heavyweight champion Liam McGeary returns to the same venue where he was crowned king in 2015. Ora, the 33-year-old British striker will look to defend his title for the second time since winning the belt in a hard-fought victory over Emanuel Newton a “Bellator 134.” An eight-time veteran of Bellator MMA, McGeary has finished his opponent in 10 della sua 11 career bouts, including eight first round wins – one coming against MMA legend Tito Ortiz. Standing at 6’6”, McGeary will have a noticeable height advantage over his opponent Davis when the two take center stage on Novembre 4 inside Mohegan Sun Arena.

 

"Sig. Wonderful” returns to the Bellator MMA cage having won three consecutive contests and seven of his last nine. Provenienti da Harrisburg, Penn., Davis has finished his opponent in eight of his 16 carriera vince, including five submission victories. A 13-fight veteran of the UFC, the 31-year-old Davis will likely not be fazed by the bright lights of what is quite possibly the biggest challenge of his illustrious career. The former NCAA National Champion wrestler will try to take this contest to the ground and display his impeccable grappling skillset against the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Black Belt.

 

With a dozen fights under the direction of the Scott Coker-led promotion, the Bellator MMA veteran Awad will enter the cage for the 28th time in his career and third of the calendar year. A native of San Bernardino, Calif., Awad’s 2016 campaign is highlighted by a spectacular first round finish of Brazilian standout “Cyborg” Santos a "Bellator 154: Davis vs. Re Mo," as well as a “Fight of the Year” candidate against Derek Anderson a "Bellator 160: Henderson vs. Pitbull.” With eight first round knockout victories under his belt, five of which came in the opening minute of action, the 33-year-old “Assassin” will undoubtedly come out guns blazing at 170-pounds on Novembre 4 in search of his 16th career finish.

 

It wouldn’t feel like a complete Bellator MMA card in Connecticut without New London’s own, “Irish” Ward. The 28-year-old former NCAA All-American lives just 10 miles from Mohegan Sun Arena, where he has emerged victorious four times, including three knockouts and one submission. A 12-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Ward has recorded wins in four of his last five bouts dating back to 2015, highlighted by a pair of first round KO’s at Mohegan Sun Arena. Con 12 of the welterweight’s 13 career victories coming by way of knockout and submission, look for Ward to attack early and often when he enters the cage in front of friends and family onNovembre 4.

 

Dutch submission specialist Coenen will be making her fourth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner after making her promotional debut in 2014. The 35-year-old former Strikeforce competitor enters the cage having won four of her last six contests, including her first two bouts with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 30-fight veteran nicknamed “Rumina” has finished her opponents in 20 of her 23 carriera vince, including a remarkable 17 submission victories.

 

The undefeated 30-year-old Nogueira will be making her Bellator MMA debut inside Mohegan Sun Arena onNovembre 4.

Nogueira was originally slated to make her promotional debut in 2015, before a knee injury forced her to withdraw from of a scheduled bout with fellow featherweight Julia Budd a “Bellator 133.” Ora, “Treta” will look to maintain her unblemished mark and put her name in title contention when she enters the cage in what will surely be the stiffest test of her flourishing career.

In aggiunta, un leggero faceoff pitting Yamauchi up (19-3) contro Ryan Couture (10-4) completa la scheda principale trasmessa da SPIKE. Anche la prima di quella che sarà una carta preliminare impilata è ufficiale, con la notizia che Ricky "The Sniper" Rainey (11-4) si batterà Gilbert "Chocolate Thunder" Smith (12-5). Ulteriori periodi di undercard saranno annunciati a breve.

Da quando ho firmato con Bellator MMA, il calmo e sottomesso Kato non è stato altro che bruciatori assoluti del fienile una volta chiusa la porta della gabbia. Gli avvincenti combattimenti hanno persino superato le iterazioni degli sport da combattimento, quando a "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 2 " Kato fece girare un pugno all'indietro che si fermò Joe Schilling nelle sue tracce, il secondo posto in altrettante mete per "The Japanese Musketeer" contro "Stitch Em’ Up ". Attualmente situato in Francia, il 33enne ha avuto finora una gara di MMA 2016, fermando Yuta Watanabe ad aprile.

Quando non sta viaggiando per il mondo nel tentativo di imparare tutto quello che c'è da sapere sulle diverse discipline di arti marziali, Matthews sta mettendo alla prova le sue abilità sotto l'ombrello di Bellator MMA. Un veterano di Strikeforce, "The Mercenary" ha allacciato i guanti sette volte in precedenza per la promozione di proprietà di Viacom, fermando il suo avversario in tutte le sue vittorie tranne una. Si è formato principalmente presso Alliance MMA per tutta la sua carriera, Matthews ha trascorso gran parte del suo tempo negli ultimi tempi in Thailandia, anche fare un incontro di Muay Thai prima dell'incontro Ben Reiter a "Bellator 156: Galvao vs.. Dantas 2. "

A soli 23 anni di età, Yamauchi è uno dei migliori giovani talenti nello sport delle MMA oggi. Prima di entrare a far parte di Bellator MMA, lo specialista di sottomissione giapponese ha accumulato un insondabile 14-1 record con 11 presentazioni e un knockout. Dalla fusione con la promozione guidata da Scott Coker, Yamauchi ha messo insieme un promettente marchio di 5-2 con tre proposte di soffocamento a nudo posteriore. Del suo 19 carriera vince, 15 sono venuti in via di presentazione, mentre nessun avversario è ancora riuscito a finire il fantomatico combattente. Yamauchi ora salterà nella classe di peso e si unirà alla divisione dei pesi leggeri per uno scontro con uno dei cognomi più leggendari in MMA, Couture.

Noto a molti come figlio dell'ex campione del mondo Randy Couture, Ryan ha fatto 14 apparizioni professionali durante la sua carriera, tutto si è svolto sotto le luci brillanti di una promozione nazionale come Strikeforce o Bellator MMA. Residente a Las Vegas, il 34enne specialista di sottomissione entra nella gabbia dopo aver vinto quattro dei suoi ultimi cinque concorsi, con ciascuna delle sue vittorie arrivate attraverso la sottomissione allo strozzo. Sebbene ci sia una notevole differenza di età tra il suo avversario, Yamauchi ha fatto il suo debutto professionale solo due mesi dopo Couture, nell'ottobre del 2010. Sintonizzati su SPIKE su Ottobre 21 per vedere quale centrale elettrica leggera Bellator MMA emergerà vittoriosa.
