Aleksander Wołkow, M-1 były mistrz wagi ciężkiej Wyzwanie:

“Jednym z najlepszych momentów w M-1 Global było zwycięstwo naszego zespołu na M-1 Selection. W tamtym czasie w M-1 Global odbywały się zawody drużynowe i brakuje mi tego formatu. Kolejny wspaniały moment to zdobycie tytułu wagi ciężkiej M-1 Challenge. Każda ważna walka jest bardzo pamiętna.”

“Moje pierwsze walki M-1 Global odbywały się w drużynowych konkursach M-1 Selection, co pomogło mi jako młodemu zawodnikowi rozpocząć karierę, znaleźć swoje miejsce w tym sporcie i zrozumieć, że należę do MMA. W tamtym czasie była to doskonała okazja dla młodych sportowców do zademonstrowania swoich umiejętności i pojawienia się w lokalnych stacjach telewizyjnych, tak więc M-1 Global był pierwszym krokiem w mojej karierze zawodowej.”

“UFC ma ogromny wpływ na rozwój rosyjskiego rynku MMA. Partnerstwo między M-1 Global i UFC daje M-1 Global wiele korzyści na lokalnym rynku i czyni go znacznie bardziej atrakcyjnym dla rosyjskich myśliwców. Wszyscy artyści sztuk walki mają marzenie o walce w UFC i teraz droga jest jasna. Jak widzieliśmy wiele razy, najlepsi zawodnicy i mistrzowie z M-1 Global rywalizują na najwyższym poziomie w UFC.”

Ramadan Emeev, były mistrz M-1 Challenge w wadze średniej, vs. Stefan Sekulic na UFC Moskwa

“Czuję się odpowiedzialna za tę walkę, ponieważ walczę w domu. Wielu przyjaciół i fanów zacznie mnie kibicować i nie chcę ich zawieść. Chcę dać świetne przedstawienie, wygrać walkę, i uszczęśliw wszystkich, którzy mnie wspierają.

“Ponieważ walczę w domu, Nie muszę gdzieś latać i aklimatyzować się. W moich poprzednich walkach musiałem przelecieć przez ocean, aby konkurować. Teraz, to ich kolej, i wszystko będzie według moich zasad.”

Rustam Khabilov M-1 Światowy weteran, vs. Kajan Johnson na UFC Moskwa

“Kiedy tłum czeka na Ciebie, walka w domu to wielka odpowiedzialność. Nie ma znaczenia, czy to M-1 Global czy UFC. Tłumy są takie same. Wielu przyjaciół i fanów będzie się martwić, i zaczną mnie kroić, więc zawdzięczam im to zwycięstwo. muszę wygrać. Dlatego trenowałem trzy razy ciężej do tej walki. Teraz, Spodziewam się przeciwnika. Wszystko będzie dobrze.”

Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, jeden z najlepszych trenerów MMA na świecie i ojciec UFC i były zawodnik M-1 Global Kabib Nurmagomedov

“M-1 Global to historia rosyjskiego MMA i nie jest przypadkiem, że wielu zawodników, którzy rozpoczęli swoją karierę w M-1 Global odnosi wielkie sukcesy w świecie MMA. M-1 Global był fundamentem mieszanych sztuk walki w Rosji, napotkał pewne wyzwania, nauczył się na swoich błędach i szedł naprzód.

Atlantic City, N.J. (Wrzesień 13, 2018) – As fight night approaches for the inaugural MMA Pro League event, fighters from head coach Dan Miller’s Team New Jersey and head coach Daniel Gracie’s Team Pennsylvania participated in media workouts Thursday at Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City.

The newest entity in MMA kicks off this Saturday, Wrzesień 15 at the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in bouts streaming live on FloCombat.com (9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT). Tickets for the inaugural installment of “MMA Pro League At The Hard Rock” are available at Ticketmaster.com.

The full bout sheet is available HERE. Here is what the fighters in attendance and league executives had to say Thursday:

DAN MILLER, Head Coach of Team New Jersey

“It means a lot to be coach for Team New Jersey. It’s my home state and it’s a big event for it. I love the team concept and I’m proud to be in this position.

“We’re here representing the whole state. We’ve had the team training together and building camaraderie. It’s like a wrestling match style where each team is sending people out.

“Everybody looks good and healthy in training camp. I think we’re ready to go. All of these fights are going to be fantastic. These are matched very well and it should be a fun night. Team Pennsylvania better be ready, because our guys are.”

DANIEL GRACIE, Head Coach of Team Pennsylvania

“Everything in training has been perfect. I’ve been working with most of these guys for a long time already so we just kept up what we’ve been working on. With the team concept we have a lot more people to focus on instead of just one or two. We already had good chemistry though, so everything went smoothly.

“Our amateur guys turning pro are going to show that they belong in these fights. It’s time to grab the spotlight. Your first fight is the best opportunity to make an impression.

“I think that MMA needs something new that can draw people’s attention. This is a great chance to bring in the fans who don’t pay attention to MMA and give them a chance to get behind their local teams.”

HANI DARWISH, CEO of MMA Pro League

“Fans should expect something completely different than they’re used to. MMA has always been a team sport and I’m glad we’re going to be the ones to expose that to the world. These guys have always trained with a team, because you can’t train by yourself.

“We believe this is going to be the new era of MMA. We’re going to give cities and states all around the world the chance to really stand behind their own teams.

“There’s been a lot of hard work and strategic planning leading to this and it’s finally coming to fruition. It’s a vision that we implemented and once we got the right people we knew it was a theme we believed in so much that we decided to execute.”

MARK Taffet, President of MMA Pro League

“We’re going to create a legacy in this sport that is going to last for generations to come. I had the privilege of launching HBO PPV 30 years ago and I saw a lot of history be made. Now I have the chance to do it again, along with my partner Hani Darwish.

“My first fight at HBO PPV was right here in Atlantic City for Evander Holyfield vs. George Foreman. It’s very significant for me to be back here in Atlantic City at the brand new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to have a chance to create another chapter of great moments.

“One of the most important things to MMA Pro League is to have the right coaches leading the teams. Dan Miller and Daniel Gracie are both natural leaders, mentors, great former fighters and great teachers. They represent everything we want to represent with MMA Pro League.”

MARK KOLKER (NJ) vs. ZULKARNAIYN KAMCHYBEKOV (PA) – Middleweights

Kolker: “This is really exciting and I’m very thankful for the opportunity. We’re doing something different than anyone else is doing and I think it can be something special.

“I know that I have an opponent who can wrestle and who’s undefeated as an amateur. I feel like I have the tools to beat him. I can catch, slip and put him away with something early. Or if he wants to go the distance we can do that too. I predict I knock him out.”

Kamchybekov: “This is my first pro fight and I’m very happy to have the opportunity. I don’t know too much about my opponent but I will be prepared. I have worked very hard and I’m going to show my wrestling and striking to get this win.”

GABRIEL RUIZ (NJ) vs. CODY HIER (PA) – Featherweights

Ruiz: “It feels good to get back in the cage and feel the adrenaline. I’m hoping to give everyone a great fight.

“I know my opponent is a wrestler so he’s going to try to take me down. He’s not going to want to stand up with me, but I’m prepared for a lot of wrestling. I’m trying to knock him out and go eat a burger.”

Hier: “It’s amazing to be a part of this MMA Pro League venture. It’s such a great opportunity and I’m glad to be on the ground floor.

“My opponent has taken some time off but I know he’s going to be ready to fight. I’m not sleeping on him. This is going to be an action fight.”

CLAUDIO LEDESMA (NJ) vs. ANDRE BERNARDO (PA) – Bantamweights

Ledesma: “It’s awesome to be able to represent New Jersey. I’m so happy to have this opportunity. This has been a great experience so far.

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. I like to focus on what I do and make adjustments when I have to.”

Bernardo: “It’s been a hard road getting to where I am today and I’m grateful to be fighting for MMA Pro League.

“I’m facing a very experienced fighter. He has a black belt in jiu-jitsu and is a well-rounded fighter. He’s still going to have to get in
there and fight me. I know we’re going to go to the ground eventually and I plan to choke him out.”

MIKE PAGANO (NJ) vs. ZEDEKIAH MONTANEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Pagano: “I’m proud to be a part of this first MMA Pro League show. I’m excited to represent my state in the cage.

“My opponent seems very well composed. He likes to sit back and box before looking to throw. Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face, so I’m going to go out there and just fight.”

Montanez: “It feels really good to be in this position. Fighting professionally has been a dream of mine and now it’s here. I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and I’m really excited.

“I know that I’m facing a wrestler who likes to put pressure on and come straight forward. We’re prepared for anything he throws at me and I will adapt to anything he throws at me. It’s going to be a war but I just have to go out there and be the best I can be.”

JUSTIN OSBORN (NJ) vs. ANDY JIMENEZ (PA) – Welterweights

Osborn: “I’m excited to go out there and do what I love to do. I can’t wait to get in that cage and stare across at a guy who’s ready to take my head off.

“I know I’m facing an undefeated amateur making his pro debut so I’m ready for anything. I’m ready for the whole nine yards. I’m predicting a finish.”

JOSEPH PINAFIEL (PA) vs. TURPAL KHAMZAYEV (NJ) – Bantamweights

Pinafiel: “It means everything to me to have this platform. This is an opportunity to build upon my career. I’ve had amazing treatment here. I’m going for it all on Saturday.

“I’m facing a tough guy in his own backyard. But I’m here to make a statement. I want to take him out and give everyone a good fight. I’m hoping he brings the best out of me. Mam zamiar wygrać. I’m ready to finish him any way possible.”

KEVIN SEARS (NJ) vs. AHMED SAMIR (PA) – Waga ciężka

Sears: “This means a lot to me. I’ve fought in 10 leagues and this has been the best experience by far. MMA Pro League just cares about their fighters.

“Samir looks really tough and I know he has a lot of experience. Everyone is dangerous at this level and it only takes on punch to go to sleep. I’m going to go for the finish right from the start.”

Zostaw komentarz

Portland, Maine (Wrzesień 13, 2018) - New England Walki (NEF) odbędzie ostatnie wydarzenie MMA w 2018, “NEF 36: Bitwa o złoto,” w sobotę, Listopad 17 w Aura w Portland, Maine. Wcześniej dzisiaj, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight title fight to the card. Aaron “Nieustępliwy” Lacey (6-2) is scheduled to meet Bill Jones (13-10) for the vacant NEF Professional Featherweight Championship.

Lacey is coming off one of the biggest wins of his professional career to date. Last weekend at “NEF 35” before his hometown fans in Bangor, Maine, Lacey submitted Jon Lemke (7-9) just under two minutes into the first round. It was a rebound win for Lacey who lost a decision to a very tough Da’Mon Blackshear (5-2) earlier this summer in Portland. W “NEF 36,” Lacey will look to capture gold in the promotion for the second time – he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title at “NEF 20” w listopadzie 2015 in what would be his final amateur fight. Lacey is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor.

“I’m excited to be fighting for this strap,” zawołał Lacey. “I was NEF’s first amateur 145-pound champion and I look forward to being one of the first people to hold amateur and professional belts for New England Fights! I have a very formidable and experienced opponent, but this belt has been calling my name for a long time and I am going to take what I have worked for all along!"

Bill Jones is one of the pioneers of the New England MMA scene, having competed in the region since 2007. He holds wins over some of the top fighters ever to come out of the area such as UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-9) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-9). Jones has competed at the national level for the World Series of Fighting (WSOF). Like Lacey, he also holds a first-round submission of Jon Lemke to his credit. W “NEF 33″ in Portland last spring, Jones was victorious over Matt Denning (5-8) via technical knockout in the second round. He is currently a member of Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

“I’m at my most dangerous when I’m focused—and you best believe that I’ll be bringing a whole new level of commitment to my camp with the NEF Featherweight title on the line, a belt that I’ve had my eyes on for a long, długo,” stated Jones. “I have a lot left in the tank and I’m out to prove in this fight that I’m no journeyman—I’m hard work for anyone that wants some. I can’t wait to be back in the NEF cage and put on a show for everyone!"
