Santa Monica, F.EKS. (April 11, 2016) – Injuries to both Derek Fields og John Teixeira have forced Bellator MMA to find replacements to compete against brothers Patricky "Pitbull" Freire (15-7) og Patricio "Pitbull" Freire (24-3) april 16 og 22 henholdsvis.

Som et resultat, the Scott Coker-led promotion has put its newest free agent acquisition to work immediately, med nyheden om det Kevin Souza (15-4) will compete against Patricky at 155-pounds, in the first fight of his freshly inked multi-fight contract during the main event of "Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Souza.”

I mellemtiden, i co-main event af "Bellator 153: Henderson vs. Koreshkov," Patricio will now fight the tenacious Henry Corrales (12-2), who agreed to face the former Bellator MMA Featherweight Champion on less than two weeks notice.

"Bellator 152: Pitbull vs. Souza” will also include the promotional debut of Italian fan-favorite Alessio Sakara (17-11), der står over Brian Rogers (12-8) in a light heavyweight matchup, while one of MMA’s most promising young prospects, A.J. McKee (3-0), slagsmål Danilo Belluardo (5-1) at 145-pounds. Også, Anastasia Yankova (2-0) will make her promotional debut against Anjela Pink in MMA flyweight action and Oktagon competitors Daniele Miceli (2-0) og Daniele Scatizzi (6-2) will round out the MMA card with a featherweight showdown.

"Bellator 153: Henderson vs. Koreshkov” is also brimming with must-see mixed martial arts action as well, with the promotional debut of Benson Henderson (23-5), who challenges Andrey Koreshkov (18-1) for the 170-pound strap, Brennan Ward (13-3) goes to battle mod “Cyborg” Santos (20-16), Michael "Venom" Page (9-0) ansigter Jeremie Holloway (7-1), og Brent Primus (6-0) meets “Toninho Furia” (27-5).

RAZZLE DAZZLE AND DUSTIN VEINOTT PREPARE TO CAGE THE CAPE ON MAY 14

Efterlad en kommentar

Hyannis, Massachusetts (April 8, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, will bring Cape Cod its first sanctioned mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event this spring. Arrangementet, berettiget “NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE,” will take place on Maj 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC) in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Both professional and amateur MMA bouts will be presented that evening. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the first amateur bout on the fight card. Ryan “Razzle Dazzle” Kane (4-3) mødes Dustin Veinott (4-4) in a three-round amateur flyweight bout at a fight weight of 125-pounds.

 

At age eighteen, Ryan Kane burst onto the New England MMA scene in early 2014. And while eighteen may seem like an early start, Kane had already established himself in combat sports at a younger age. I 2011, and then again in 2012, Kane medaled in the World Pankration Championships in Greece. The Plymouth, Massachusetts-native trains with Team Juniko and Sityodtong. Kane will be looking to rebound from a first-round loss in his last MMA bout earlier this year.

 

“I train with the best to become the best,” said Kane when reached for comment. “I will outclass Dustin anywhere this fight goes. If he’s judging me from my last fight, he’s in for a very long night. I promise you I’m hungrier than ever and I’m ready to eat.”

 

Dustin Veinott began his amateur MMA career at 0-3. Refusing to give up, Veinott came roaring back, winning his next four in a row. I juni 2015, he captured the NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Title, losing it later that year to Ryan Burgess (2-0) in a very close split decision on the judges’ scorecards. Veinott trains at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) i Lewiston, Maine. Kampen på Maj 14 will be Veinott’s first outside of his home state of Maine.

 

“Losing the title has made me more determined than I have ever been – especially after the way I lost the belt,” said Veinott of the split-decision loss to Burgess. “I’m eager to step up in competition and get into the cage with someone who trains at the level that he trains. Razzle Dazzle is very well-rounded, but I don’t think anyone has seen me at my full potential. I truly hope he doesn’t underestimate me. I have trained very hard for this fight and I am ready to showcase the things I have been working on. I will show up prepared and ready for a war!”

 

"NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE," finder sted Lørdag, Maj 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Tickets for “NEF 23” are $40 for generelle optagelse og $60 for cageside. They are on sale now at www.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/ .
