MMA STAR HECTOR LOMBARD SIGNS WITH BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP

Olímpic cubà & UFC Veteran Looks to Conquer
BKFC Light Heavyweight Division

FILADÈLFIA (Octubre 8, 2019) – Former Olympian and UFC standoutHector Lombard has become the latest fighter to sign with Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) as he looks to make his mark in the biggest and best bare knuckle fights that the sport has to offer.

Lombard is the first-ever Olympian to sign with BKFC, having represented Cuba in judo in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Austràlia.

I’ve wanted to fight for this amazing organization for a while and I’m excited that it’s all come together,” said Lombard, who will compete in the 185-pound light heavyweight division. “Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is the next level of fighting and I am glad to be part of it.

Hector Lombard is one of the most devastating punchers in MMA history and we are looking for Hector to make a huge splash with BKFC,” said BKFC founder and president David Feldman. “Com a fan, I cannot wait to see how Hector does in the squared circle. He’s exciting and explosive. This is an incredible signing.

Lombard also holds the distinction of being the first Bellator champion to sign with BKFC. He was the inaugural Bellator middleweight champion, winning the title in 2009. Lombard went 8 – 0 in Bellator with seven finishes, including a six-second knockout of UFC veteran Jay Silva in May of 2010.

Lombard relinquished the Bellator middleweight championship in 2012, when he moved to the UFC. In the UFC, Lombard fought a total of 12 vegades, recording notable knockout wins against Rousimar Palhares and Nate Marquardt.

In his professional MMA career, Lombard tallied 34 victòries, 22 of which have come by knockout or TKO. He is regarded as one of the hardest punching middleweights and welterweights in MMA history.

Lombard is from Cuba and moved to Australia after the 2000 Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu. He now lives in Florida.

MÉS, EL GRAN PREMI MUNDIAL BELLATOR'S FEATHERWEIGHT CONTINUA COM A.J COMFECTE. MCKEE CONEIX A DEREK CAMPOS AL PRIMER MATCHUP DE QUARTERFINAL

Entrades a la venda divendres vinent, Octubre. 11



LOS ANGELES - Per segona vegada en tants anys, Neal S. Blaisdell Arena a Honolulu, Hawaii serà la seu del retorn a casa Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0), mentre posa el seu rècord invicte i el títol de pes mosca femení de Bellator a la línia contra el núm. 1 contendent Kate Jackson (11-3-1) a l’acte principal de dissabte, Desembre. 21, emès exclusivament a l'aplicació DAZN.



Addicionalment, Bellator Hawaii comptarà amb el primer enfrontament de quarts de final del Gran Premi Mundial de Pes Ploma de Bellator, quan l'home amb la ratxa de victòries més llarga de la història de la promoció, A. J. McKee (15-0), pren el sempre emocionant Derek Camps (20-9) al coparticular del vespre.



Bellator: Macfarlane vs.. Jackson - un dels motors d’estrella, destacats de final de curs de la temporada de lluites a DAZN: es reproduiran en directe exclusivament DAZN a 10 p.m. ET / 7 pm. PT, mentre que l'acció preliminar continuarà Bellator.com, DAZN i a nivell mundial Aplicació mòbil Bellator. Les entrades es posaran a la venda el proper divendres, Octubre. 11 i es pot comprar a través de Bellator.com, així com Ticketmaster.com o el Neal S. Taquilla Blaisdell Arena. Les properes setmanes s’anunciaran combats addicionals.



Nascut i crescut a Honolulu, l’actual campiona femenina de pes mosca de Bellator, Macfarlane, va fer el seu debut professional a 2015 amb una victòria de KO que es va fer viral i que no ha mirat enrere des de llavors, romanent invicta en la seva carrera. Amb victòries impressionants Valerie Letourneau i Costura Arteaga, Macfarlane va ser el punt central del debut de Bellator a Hawaii l’any passat. Un orgullós graduat de l’escola secundària Punahou de Honolulu a 2009, Macfarlane va assistir més tard a la Universitat Estatal de San Diego, on obtindria el màster en arts i ciències liberals amb un enfocament en temes indígenes, un tema que li apassiona, llançament "La Beca Ilimanator" per a noies indígenes l'any passat. Ara, Ilima-Lei centra la seva atenció en Kate Jackson, qui intentarà fer el paper de spoiler quan entri a la gàbia de Bellator el desembre 21.



Una guanyadora de set dels seus últims vuit combats, Kate Jackson s'ha guanyat el camí cap a un títol contra el campió inaugural de la divisió. Un competidor a la 23a temporada de The Ultimate Fighter, Jackson prové de Lostwithiel, Cornualla, Anglaterra, i més recentment derrotat Lena Ovchynnikova a Londres. Jackson va debutar a Bellator a 2017 amb una primera victòria ronda sobre Colleen Schneider i més tard passaria a dominar Anastasia Yankova a la història Bellator 200 davant la seva multitud de ciutat natal. Afrontant la prova més gran de la seva carrera, Jackson sembla regnar al capdamunt de la divisió de pes mosca quan surti de Hawaii.



Amb un historial professional invicte de 15-0, incloent sis eliminatoris i vuit acabats de primera ronda, no sembla que hi hagi gaire més cosa per demostrar a la comunitat MMA abans que el jove de 24 anys que exerceix talent rebi abans que el seu nom s’esmenti habitualment entre l’elit de la divisió. Lluitant fora de Long Beach, Qualif., "Mercenari" està acabat de començar amb una actuació increïble que el va acabar acabar Georgi Karakhanyan en només vuit segons, uns instants després de veure el seu pare, Antonio McKee, recolliu una victòria per eliminatòria en el que va ser el primer duet pare-fill que va competir amb la mateixa carta als Estats Units. Amb tot 15 de les seves victòries en la seva carrera professional sota la direcció de la promoció dirigida per Scott Coker, el producte Team BodyShop ha deixat clar que té la seva mirada posada Patricio "Pitbull" i el seu cinturó de 145 quilos, mentre continua construint un fort argument com la nova cara de Bellator. Buscant constantment nous rècords per batre, És possible que McKee hagi trobat la combinació perfecta a Campos, ja que els dos lluitadors s’han combinat per obtenir un notable 22 acaba 36 victòries en la seva carrera.



Lluitant fora de Lubbock, Texas, Campos competirà en el primer dels quatre enfrontaments de quarts de final al Gran Premi Mundial de Pes Ploma de Bellator, després d’una decisiva victòria sobre l’excampió del món de pes ploma Daniel Straus a Bellator 226 aquest setembre passat. L’artista eliminatòria de 31 anys està preparat per aprofitar el seu impressionant historial professional 20-9, quan s’enfronta a la superestrella invicta McKee el desembre 21. Sempre a punt per canviar cops, el veterà pesat ha passat gran part del seu temps competint a les divisions lleugeres i peses welter de Bellator durant els darrers sis anys de la seva carrera. Ara, "The Stallion" espera continuar el seu impressionant augment en la classe de 145 lliures, mentre es prepara per anar de peus a peus amb un dels plomes més perilloses del món. Amb un tir d'un milió de dòlars a la línia, Campos confiarà en el seu impertinent estil de lluita i en la seva sòlida formació de lluita lliure si vol avançar en el que molts han considerat un dels enfrontaments més esperats de la segona ronda..

Batalla pel títol mundial de pes mosca: Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (10-0) vs. Kate Jackson (11-3-1)

Vinicius De Jesus stops Chris Lozano to Retain CES MMA welterweight title

HARTFORD, Conn. (Setembre 7, 2019) – CES MMA World Welterweight Champion Vinicius De Jesus made his first title defense tonight, stopping game challenger Chris “The Cleveland Assassin” Lozano in the third round in the “CESMMA 58” main event at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.

The main card was streamed live and exclusively on UFC FIGHT PASS®, the world’s leading digital subscription service for combat sports.

Lozano (10-5) dropped De Jesus (9-2) in the opening round with a shot to the temple, but the Brazilian bounced up and fought back. The first two rounds were fought relatively cautious as both fighters took turns being the aggressor. De Jesus took charge in the third connected on punches and kicks, while avoiding Lozano’s limited offensive attacks. A strong De Jesus punch snapped Lazano’s head and that’s the opening the defending chance had set up. He bashed Lazano around the cage, trapping him as he threw punishing combinations until the referee waved off the action midway through the third.

“I appreciate him (Lozano) accepting this fight when others didn’t,” an excited De Jesus praised his opponent after the fight. “I respect him very much and hope he’s okay and back in the cage soon. I have a high fight IQ and he was difficult to hit. This is for my fans and family.

“My boxing paid off. My father coached me to box. Ara, I’m looking for the big show, the lions in the UFC.”

En l'esdeveniment co estel·lar, Hartford heavyweightParker Porter (8-5) and his Brazilian opponentDirlei Broenstrup (16-7) put on a very entertaining show. Porter couldn’t miss his overhand right in the first round, but Broenstrup responded in the second and came out hot for the third. All of a sudden Porter unloaded a straight right on Broenstrup’s chin and that’s all she wrote with less than two minutes remaining on the clock.

“I knew I started to get tired in the third round,” Porter commented. “I felt that I had won the first two rounds and my mentality was stay alive and don’t get taken out. I’d love to get a shot at the CES heavyweight strap in my next fight.”

Veteran Cincinnati lightweightReggie Merriweather (13-5) ruined the homecoming type of night for popular and previously undefeatedJesse James Kosakowski (3-1) from Waterbury, Connecticut. Merriweather landed several bombs, Kosakowski got out of a few jams, and then suddenly Merriweather closed the show with a single righthanded punch halfway through the first round. Kosakowski’s large crowd of supporters expressed their collective feelings the referee had prematurely stopped the fight, but the upset was already in the books.

Massachusetts featherweight“Relentless” Robbie Leroux switched positions onPete “The Heat” Rogers, Jr.  to win by way of a reverse heal hold (pictured below) forcing a tap-out. It appeared that Rogers had the advantage and was moments away from victory Leroux did his thing.

Florida bantamweightJornel “A1” Lugo, who lived in Wallingford (Connecticut), used his speed and angles to stopHarris “Dirty Harry” Bonfilgio on punches in the first round. “Only one thing pays the bills…skills,” Lugo said after the fight. “Everybody kept telling me to watch out for his kicks. I studied – I’m paranoid – so I was prepared.”

Pro-debuting Brooklyn flyweightAdrian Haly took a split decision fromJustin “Juggernaut” Valentin, de Meriden (Connecticut), in the first fight of the night steamed live on UFC FIGHT PASS.

“CESMMA 59” Oct. 25, 2019 at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island

Providence lightweightSean Soriano (12-6) will headline “CESMMA 59” on Friday night, Octubre 25, 2019, at Twin River Casino in Lincoln, Rhode Island. A pair of undefeated, red-hot prospects, New York welterweightJohn Gotti III (4-0) and Connecticut light heavyweightWilliam “Knightmare” Knight (5-0), are also scheduled to fight on what promises to be a loaded card.

Local favoriteNick Giuiletti, fighting out of nearby Wallingford, jumped all over lightweightCody Schieve right off the bell, driving his over-matched opponent to the mat and unleashed a barrage of unanswered punches until the undercard fight was halted only 38-second into round one by way of technical knockout.

Massachusetts cruiserweightDan Randall used an effective ground-and-pound attack againstJesse Baughman, who tapped out midway through the opening round.

Connecticut bantamweight Will “Siracha” Smith took two of three rounds from Aaron Reese for a unanimous decision in the opening match of the evening.

NATE WHITE STEPS IN AT LAST MINUTE TO SAVE LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT AT NEF 40

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Orono, Maine (Setembre 3, 2019) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) will debut in Orono this Saturday, Setembre 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card. Nate “The Mule” White (2-0) returns to the cage to face Ryan Savage (0-1) amb un pes de baralla de 155 lliures-.

Undefeated Nate White stepped up on just a few days’ notice after Savage’s original opponent, Andrew Kamakas, could not gain medical clearance to fight. The 19-year-old Rumford, Maine native is on a roll this year and making a play for the “Rookie of the Year” nod from NEF fans. So far, White has needed just over a combined four minutes to down his first two opponents. In April, he forced a first-round stoppage against Clifford Redman at “NEF 38” when Redman suffered an injury less than a minute into the fight. White followed that victory up with a technical knockout of Justin Kangas at “NEF 39” in June. White, a member of the Maine Army National Guard, will be traveling straight from being tazed and peppered sprayed only hours before his scheduled competition with Savage on Saturday night, as part of his Guard OC and tazer qualification training.

“This is a busy week in my life,” said White. “I’m in Texas right now for a job interview and will be flying back on Wednesday to head off to drill weekend with the Guard before my fight on Saturday night, but life is all about seizing opportunities when they become available. I’m excited for the chance to test myself against Ryan. I’ve heard that he is a good guy and I know he trains hard, so I’m excited to see how my skills match-up against him.”

Ryan Savage, a fellow active serviceman with the Air Guard, will be looking for the first win of his amateur MMA career this Saturday night in Orono. At “NEF 38” last April, Savage lost via submission to Connecticut’s Arii Fernandez in the first round of Savage’s debut. He currently represents First Class MMA of Brunswick, Maine.

“I’m very fortunate to be given another chance to showcase my true potential,” said Savage. “My first MMA fight opened my eyes to the importance of being an all around fighter, and was a very humbling experience. Nate has been on a roll these last two cards, and I know is training hard to continue his undefeated streak. Nate has great skill, but I’m ready to put that to the test and show everyone I’m here to stay.”

“Fight lore is full of legendary tales of guys stepping-up on last-minute notice to save bouts—and this is another example of that,” said Matt Peterson, NEF Matchmaker and co-owner. “Two active servicemen from respected gyms in the state—one a boxer and the other a wrestler—agreeing to an MMA fight on short notice is just one more added attraction to the stacked card that we have set to wow UMaine with this weekend. I’ve never been more excited to go back to school.”

Lluites de Nova Anglaterra’ next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” will take place this Saturday, Setembre 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Maine.
