Team Maldonado dient WMMAA-beroep in om het resultaat van 17 juni Emelianenko vs. Maldonado-strijd in Rusland

MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Juli 4, 2016) — De World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) heeft een beroep ontvangen van Stefano Sartori, manager van Braziliaanse jager Fabio Maldonado, om het resultaat van zijn juni opnieuw te beoordelen 17thvechten met Fedor Emelianenko, die kopte Fight Nights Global 50 in Saint Petersburgh, Rusland.
Emelianenko kreeg een overwinning bij meerderheidsbesluit, waarop Team Malondado beroep heeft aangetekend, een belangenconflict claimen omdat alle rechters in dienst zijn van de Russische MMA Unie, waarvan Emelianenko als president fungeert.
Team Maldonado vindt dat Maldonando de beslissing had moeten winnen, of het gevecht verklaarde op zijn minst gelijkspel, naar hun mening, want de Braziliaan won duidelijk de eerste ronde, 10-8, Emelianenko kwam terug om de tweede ronde te pakken, 10-9, en de derde ronde was een toss-up.
Omdat de vice-president van de Russische MMA Union Radmir Gabdullin was de hoofdrechter voor de bovengenoemde wedstrijd, Team Maldonando is van mening dat een eerlijk oordeel over zijn beroep alleen kan worden gegeven door onafhankelijke partijen, internationale rechters beoordelen de strijd.
Team Maldonando is tegen de beslissing in beroep gegaan op grond van het feit dat er een duidelijk belangenconflict was in termen van de Russische MMA Union-rechters en hun nauwe banden met Fedor, evenals de kwaliteit van de beslissingen die ze namen. In plaats van tegen de beslissing in beroep te gaan bij de Russische MMA-unie, waarvan zij beweerden dat het Russische rechters onder zware druk zou zetten, Team Maldonando deed rechtstreeks beroep bij de WMMAA omdat de Russische MMA-vakbond een gesanctioneerd lid is van de wereldwijde sanctie-instantie WMMAA.
WMMAA-voorzitter Vadim Finkelchtein heeft de volgende reeks acties aangekondigd:
  • WMMAA secretaris-generaal Alexander Engelhardt is aangesteld om de beroepsprocedure te behandelen
  • Een groep objectieve internationale rechters, onder begeleiding van ervaren scheidsrechter / rechter Marco Broersen (Nederland), benoemd te worden om het gevecht tussen Emelianenko en Maldonado te beoordelen op basis van de tape en een onbevooroordeeld oordeel te vellen over het gevecht en het werk van de rechters
  • Schort WMMAA-hoofdrechter Radmir Gabdullin tijdelijk uit zijn functie
  • Bespreek rechters’ werk op het volgende WMMAA-congres, rekening houdend met de hangende uitspraak van de onafhankelijke commissie

“The Weasel” has shown great consistency as of late, recording wins in eight of his last nine fights dating back to 2012 over fighters the likes of Pat Curran en Georgi Karakhanyan. Since joining Bellator MMA in 2014, the German featherweight has posted a 5-1 record, proving time and time again that he belongs among the division’s elite. Of his 36 career wins, 21 zijn gekomen door middel van de indiening, making Weichel one of the most skilled athletes on the ground. The 31-year-old submission specialist will look to build off his deserving unanimous decision win against Karakhanyan at"Bellator 147: Thomson vs. Villaseca," as he prepares to take on “El Matador” inside Kansas Star Arena on Juli 22.

 

Sanchez also enters this contest having won five of his first six bouts under the Bellator MMA banner. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin and training at the world-renown Roufusport camp, “El Matadorhas recently put together an impressive run, claiming wins in nine of his last 10 gevechten. The 25-year-old most recently defeated Daniel Pineda via split decision at the record-shattering "Bellator 149: Shamrock vs. Gracie "event in Houston. Sanchez will enter the cage riding a three-fight winning streak, all of which subsequently ended in split decision victories.

 

Op slechts 30 jaar, Viana has impressed only nine fights into his professional career. Meest recent, Viana put his unique skillset on full display against Houston Alexander at "Bellator 146: Kato vs. Manhoef," emerging victorious after a second-round knockout. The Brazilian light heavyweight now has seven career finishes to his name, including three in the first round, and will look to add to that total when he enters the cage with fellow Brazilian competitor Philipe Lins on Juli 22.

 

Afkomstig uit Natal, Lins has consistently impressed through his first 10 professionele periodes, recording nine wins, with four victories coming by way of knockout. After winning his first four professional fights, Lins decided to take an extended break from MMA from 2007 totdat 2011. After the hiatus, Lins rallied off five wins, including his first two bouts under the Bellator MMA umbrella. Nu, “Monstro” will look to return to the cage for the first time since a brutal knee injury that he suffered against Kelly Anundson at “Bellator 122” terug in 2014.

 

Undefeated to start her professional career, Brown Ellen, 20, competed twice in 2015, winning both of her bouts. A member of Team Nogueira Campinas in Sao Paulo, Ellen recently did a stint of training at the world-renown Blackzilians gym in Florida, where she continued to hone her budding striking and skills on the mat. It’s also worth noting that Ellen’s listed on this year’s “Top-Ten Brazilian Prospects” compiled by MMAFighting.com.

 

Eight years the elder of Ellen, Middleton will be making her professional debut after a stellar 4-1 amateur record on the regional scene. If unfamiliar with her work, look no further than her spectacular finish of Holly Torrez via spinning-backfist hier.

HANSEN AND ANDRIKUT ON COLLISION COURSE SET FOR NEF 25

 

 

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Juni 29, 2016) – They are two of the top light-heavyweights currently competing in New England Fights (NEF). Their respective most recent wins were both against Jesse Baughman (0-2). Both are accomplished wrestlers. At some point, Mike “De Snor” Hansen (4-4) en Mat “Het beest uit de Noord-” Andrikut(2-0) were bound to collide. That collision will take place at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” op September 10, 2016 in Lewiston. The mixed-martial-arts (MMA) contest is set at a fight weight of 205-pounds.

 

Hansen is the founder of the Berserkers MMA fight team based out of the Greater Rumford Community Center in Rumford, Maine. He was a Maine state champion wrestling out of Mountain Valley High School. Hansen dropped his last fight to Brendan Battles (1-0) bij “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. He had a chance to avenge that loss and get back on the winning track this month atNEF 24,but suffered a setback when his opponent fell out the morning of weigh-ins.

 

This should be an exciting fight,” said Hansen. “Two good wrestlers ready to throw each other around sounds like a good time to me. This should be my last fight at 205 most likely, hoewel. I’m heading down to 185-170 to try my luck against guys my size. Fighting these big guys sure is exciting, but it cost my body a lot. Expect nothing less than me coming ready to break him.

 

Prior to his professional MMA career, Matt Andrikut wrestled for the University of Southern Maine (USM) and also boxed as an amateur. He was a finalist in the Northern New England Golden Gloves. During his amateur MMA career, Andrikut famously defeated Pat Walsh. Walsh would later go on to compete in the UFC and World Series of Fighting at the national level. Andrikut is 2-0 in the NEF MMA cage since debuting with the promotion last year.

 

I am ready to be in the cage again,” said Andrikut from his home in Reno, Nevada. “I know Mike is a tough wrestler and possibly an even tougher striker. This is a fight that no one would want to miss. I look forward to the challenge to further enhance my career in MMA towards a much deserved title shot in NEF.

 

volgende evenement New England Fights ', "NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 bij de Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine.
