LOS ANGELES – Bellator, a leading global combat sports franchise owned by Viacom, home to the world’s premier entertainment brands, and DAZN, the world’s largest dedicated live sports streaming service and part of Perform Group, today announced a multi-year landmark distribution agreement.

 

 

 

The nine-figure deal will feature seven exclusive stacked fight cards per year on DAZN and another 15 that are simulcast across Paramount Network and DAZN. All fights will stream in any country where DAZN is available. As part of the platform’s global expansion, DAZN will launch in the U.S. and Italy in 2018, with the service already live in Canada, Germania, Austria, Switzerland and Japan.

 

 

 

“The exciting new partnership with DAZN is a game-changer for Bellator,”Ha detto il presidente Bellator Scott Coker. “The investment will enable us to continue expanding our roster with free agents that make sense, so we can put on PPV-worthy fight cards that fans want to see. Di Più, on DAZN’s worldwide platform, our fights will be seen live for the first time to new audiences around the globe.”

 

 

 

“It’s simple; fans want to see great fighters in competitive fights so we’ve handed the keys to Scott Coker and his venerable team to go out and recruit even more top-level talent to further stack Bellator fight cards and build on their success,” said DAZN CEO James Rushton. “With the combination of this investment and our recent announcement to bring more than 30 nights of boxing to the platform annually, DAZN will be a must-have for fight fans in the U.S.”

 

 

 

“The DAZN partnership speaks to the incredible growth of Bellator into a global sports powerhouse and high-valued franchise in the Viacom portfolio,” said Kevin Kay, Presidente, Paramount Network, TV Land and CMT.

 

 

 

The deal begins with an epic event on Sabato, Sette. 29 from SAP Center at San Jose. The card features a highly anticipated middleweight title fight pitting Gegard Mousasi (44-6-2) contro Rory MacDonald (20-4), who is moving up a weight class for a title shot against the 185-pound champ, along with the fourth fight in the legendary rivalry between Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (37-13) e Wanderlei Silva(35-13).

 

 

 

Also included on Sette. 29, will be the opening fight of Bellator’s first-ever Welterweight World Grand Prix, which will feature eight of the best welterweight fighters on the planet. The Bellator Welterweight World Grand Prix will be a major component of the first year of the multi-year agreement between Bellator and DAZN.

 

 

 

An exclusive online presale for this event takes place tomorrow, Giugno 27 fino a giovedì, Giugno 28, with tickets going on sale to the general public on Venerdì, Giugno 29 a 10 a.m. PT. I biglietti partono da soli $30 and will be available at the ThreatMetrix Ticket Office at SAP Center at San Jose, così come Bellator.com and Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

The event will air live on DAZN at 10 p.m. E/7 p.m. PT. Ulteriori attacchi saranno annunciati nelle prossime settimane. DAZN, which now streams 15,000 live events and 100 million hours of sports content globally each year, will be available in the U.S. this September with exact pricing and dates being announced this summer.

 

Mousasi vs. MacDonald:

 

 

 

Gegard Mousasi impressed in his promotional debut over former Bellator middleweight champion Alexander Shlemenko, a win that earned him a shot at Rafael Carvalho, where 185-pound gold was on the line. Ora, after a decisive victory against Carvalho at Bellator 200, Mousasi will defend his crown against Rory MacDonald, entering the bout with his current unbeaten streak at seven fights. “The Dreamcatcher,” who trains out of The Netherlands, holds one of the most impressive resumes in all of the sport, at one time winning the STRIKEFORCE light heavyweight title, as well as the DREAM light heavyweight and middleweight titles.

 

 

 

Over the last several years, “The Red King” Rory MacDonald has become the most popular Canadian mixed martial artist due to his classic stand-up wars and wins over some of MMA’s best in Paul Daley, Nate Diaz, Tyron Woodley, B.J. Penn and Demian Maia. Bellator’s welterweight champion joined the Viacom-owned promotion in 2016 and went on to defeat Douglas Lima for the welterweight title at Bellator 192. Ora, the Tristar Gym-trained fighter sets his sights on winning gold in not one, but two separate weight classes.

 

“Rampage” vs. Silva:

 

 

A six-fight veteran of Bellator, “Rampage” leggendaria carriera di Jackson lo ha visto competere contro alcuni dei nomi più importanti in questo sport, generando un fedele esercito di fan lungo la strada. L'ex Orgoglio e campione UFC è l'orgoglioso proprietario di molti sbatte epico Highlight Reel e ko che ha collezionato durante le sue battaglie epiche con artisti del calibro di Chuck Liddell, Dan Henderson, “King Mo,” Kevin Randleman and, forse più in particolare,, his trilogy with fellow Bellator athlete Wanderlei Silva, who he now meets at heavyweight on Sette. 29.

 

 

Wanderlei Silva’s wars with “Rampage,” Tito Ortiz, Mirko Cro Cop, Vitor Belfort, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell and Michael Bisping remain some of the more memorable bouts in MMA history. “The Axe Murderer” is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career, returning to action against a man he has already competed against three times before. In addition to the PRIDE middleweight title, Silva’s trophy case includes awards for “Fight of the Year” (2003, 2004, 2007), KO of the Year (2008) and multiple “Fight of the Night” awards. Più di recente, the Brazilian native made his Bellator debut against Chael Sonnen in the main event of Bellator: NYC.

cid:image002.png@01D40A44.1330DBD0

SOUTH DAKOTA’S OWN LOGAN STORLEY SET FOR CO-MAIN EVENT AGAINST A.J. MATTHEWS

LOS ANGELES – Bellator will hold its first-ever event in Sioux Falls, S.D. il Venerdì, Agosto. 17 at Sanford Pentagon. Bellator 204 will be headlined by the promotion’s bantamweight champion Darrion Caldwell (12-1) testing himself against Noad Tutto (12-3) in a non-title featherweight matchup.

 

 

 

A welterweight bout will serve as the co-main event of the card, when South Dakota-native Logan Storley (8-0) takes on the always-dangerous A.J. Matthews (9-7).

 

 

 

Tickets will go on sale to the general public on Thursday, Giugno 28 a 10 a.m. CT. I biglietti partono da soli $28 and will be available at the Sanford Pentagon box office, così come Ticketmaster.

 

 

 

L'evento sarà trasmesso in diretta e gratis su Paramount Network all'indirizzo 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, mentre l'azione preliminare streaming su Bellator.com e globalmente sul Bellator Mobile App. Ulteriori attacchi saranno annunciati nelle prossime settimane.

 

 

 

“I’m excited to bring Bellator to Sioux Falls this summer with a great venue partner in the Sanford Pentagon,"Ha detto il presidente Bellator Scott Coker. “I always look forward to visiting a new market and having a crowd experience a live Bellator event for the first time. This is a great card with a lot of intriguing matchups that I know fans will enjoy. With this being such a strong wrestling community, I’m also excited to feature several former collegiate wrestlers on Aug. 17, including Darrion Caldwell and South Dakota’s Logan Storley.”

 

 

 

Caldwell, a 30-year-old Rahway, New Jersey native and the current Bellator bantamweight champion, will step up a weight class to take on Lahat in an exciting featherweight non-title affair on Aug. 17. Combattimento da San Diego, Calif., “The Wolf” has emerged as one of the most well-rounded fighters in the 135-pound class, collecting nine victories since signing with Bellator in 2013. Il 2009 NCAA D1 National Champion wrestler from NC State boasts a resume that includes five first-round finishes, a 25-minute war against Eduardo Dantas for the world title and a textbook guillotine choke submission victory over Leandro Higo in his first career title defense earlier this year. Caldwell will look for his 13th professional and fourth consecutive win when he enters the cage as a 145-pounder for the first time since 2014.

 

 

 

A black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu currently training at Xtreme Couture in Las Vegas, Lahat made his professional debut in 2008 where he began an impressive streak of seven consecutive victories. The 34-year-old hails from Alfei Menashe, Samaria, Israele, Lahat and served as a soldier in the Israeli Defense Forces before transitioning to his MMA career. Lahat holds a 3-1 record in Bellator with his most recent win coming against Geremia Monaghan this past November and now welcomes the Bellator bantamweight champion to his weight class when he enters the cage on Aug. 17.

 

 

 

Hailing from Webster, S.D., the 25-year-old Storley will fight in front of his hometown fans at Bellator 204 when he makes his fourth appearance for Bellator. The 4x NCAA All-American wrestler from the University of Minnesota has quickly climbed the ranks as one of the most dangerous welterweights in mixed martial arts, earning eight-straight victories to begin his career, including six knockouts and five first-round finishes. A win over the equally-dangerous Matthews on Aug. 17would only further cement his name amongst the division’s best, as Storley hopes to protect his unblemished mark of 8-0.

 

 

 

Combattimento da Carlsbad, Calif., Matthews will be making his 11th appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella; a seven-year stretch that has earned the promotional veteran five victories, including a pair of first-round knockouts and a highlight reel-soccer kick finish over Charlie Rader. The 30-year-old certainly knows how to put on a show, with nine of his 16 career fights ending in a knockout, including six in the first round. “Mercenary” will look to build on his recent win over Kendall Grove at Bellator 193, as he enters the cage against hometown favorite Storley in the co-main event.

 

Aggiornato Bellator 204: Caldwell vs. Lahat carta di lotta:

Featherweight Main Event: Darrion Caldwell (12-1) vs. Noad Tutto (12-3)

Welter Co-Main Event: Logan Storley (8-0) vs. A.J. Matthews (9-7)

NEF AND BRANDON BUSHAW TO SEND YOUNG ATHLETES TO USM WRESTLING CLINIC

Lascia un commento

Gorham, Maine (Giugno 22, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) announced earlier today that the fight promotion would once again sponsor an athlete at this year’s Brawlin’ Lobsta Wrestling Clinic & Torneo. The camp is set to take place at the Gorham campus of the University of Southern Maine (USM) da Luglio 17 to July 22. For the fifth year in a row, NEF will select one winner for which the fight promotion will cover tuition to the program.

“It’s a thrill for us to once again be supporting the Brawlin’ Lobsta Wrestling Clinic,” stated NEF co-owner and Matchmaker Matt Peterson. “This year it’s all the more exciting to be partnering with Maine wrestling legend Brandon Bushaw to send not one, but two wrestlers to clinic. Mike Morin’s USM program is exploding and with the latest round of recruits that he’s brought in, I have no doubt that they will be a threat at the national level within the next two to three seasons. I encourage every Maine wrestler to apply for this scholarship to earn a chance to work with Morin’s decorated staff clinicians. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to sharpen your skills, as well as learn some new ones, during the off-season.”

Inoltre, NEF MMA veteran Brandon Bushaw has also agreed to sponsor an athlete in the program this year. Now a business owner residing in South Carolina, Bushaw cut his teeth on the mats growing up in Westbrook, Maine. He won two Maine state titles wrestling for Westbrook High School. Dopo il liceo, Bushaw went on to wrestle for Michigan State University where he was a teammate of current UFC competitors Rashad Evans and Gray Maynard. He is a member of the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame.

“I attended Boston University wrestling camp between my sophomore and junior seasons in high school,” recalled Bushaw. “Not only did it change me as a wrestler, but I really feel that it changed me as a person. I have attended and coached many camps, and the life lessons you learn there are very important. I am proud to sponsor a young wrestler to attend USM’s Brawlin’ Lobsta wrestling clinic because I feel it is important to give back to a sport and community that has given me so much!”

Camp instructors Mike Morin and Jon Deupree have both competed in the MMA cage in the past. Morin is the head wrestling coach at USM and a two-time All-American. Deupree is an assistant coach with USM. He was a two-time NCAA national qualifier wrestling for the Huskies.

“I would like to thank NEF for supporting USM wrestling and sponsoring another wrestler to attend the Brawlin’ Lobsta Camp this summer,” said Morin. “This sponsorship is huge in allowing kids to have the opportunity to wrestle year-round who might not have that opportunity otherwise. It’s great for our program at USM and great for the state as a whole to get better in the sport of wrestling!”

Interested contestants are asked to submit a photograph of themselves wrestling via email to newenglandfights@gmail.comalong with a brief statement of 100 words or less detailing why they believe the clinic will help them achieve their goals. The winners will also each receive a pair of tickets to “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” as well as an NEF apparel package to wear during the clinic.

prossimo evento mixed-arti marziali di NEF, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Sabato, Settembre 8, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. I biglietti sono in vendita ora su www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Due combattimenti per il titolo della Sfida M-1 alla Sfida M-1 95 Kamzat Dalgiev contro. Nate Landwehr Movsar Evloev contro. Raphael Dias

Lascia un commento
Luglio 21 in Inguscezia, Russia
Nate Landwehr (sopra) ha battuto Mikhail Korobkov al suo debutto nell'M-1 Global lo scorso settembre

SAN PIETROBURGO, Russia (Giugno 19, 2018) — Lo ha annunciato M-1 Global M-1 sfida 95: Battaglia nelle montagne conterrà un paio di combattimenti per il titolo a luglio 21 in Inguscezia, Russia.

 

M-1 sfida 95 sarà trasmesso in diretta streaming dall'Inguscezia in alta definizione www.M1Global.TV. Gli spettatori potranno guardare i combattimenti preliminari e carta principale accedendo a registrare a www.M1Global.TV. I fan possono guardare tutta l'azione sul proprio computer, nonché su smartphone e tablet Android e Apple. M-1 sfida 95 sarà disponibile anche su www.FITE.TV(scheda preliminare è gratuita, $7.99 per la carta principale)

 

 

 

Combattente americano Nate “Il treno” Landwehr (10-2-0, M-1: 2-0-0)), combattendo da Clarksville, Tennessee, sfida il campione dei pesi piuma M-1 Challenge Khamzat Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), mentre il detentore del titolo dei pesi piuma M-1 Challenge Movsar Evloev (9-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0) fa la sua seconda difesa del titolo contro Rafael Dias (15-5-0, M-1: 1-1-0).

 

 

 

Landwehr ha fatto irruzione nell'M-1 Global lo scorso anno e dall'inizio è diventato uno dei combattenti più popolari della promozione. “Il treno” combatte uno stile da non passo indietro e inizia a scambiare pugni con gli avversari sin dai primi secondi di combattimento. Tutti i suoi combattimenti sono spettacolari e non importa come va il combattimento, è sempre pronto a trovare un momento per mettere fuori combattimento l'avversario.

 

 

 

Landwehr si fermò Mikhail Korobkov via pugni nel secondo turno a M-1 sfida 83 a settembre. Ha seguito quell'impressionante prestazione M-1 Global con una vittoria per decisione lo scorso novembre Viktor Kolesnik a M-1 sfida 85.

 

 

 

Dalgiev (10-1-0, M-1: 7-1-0), di Inguscezia, è campione per diversi buoni motivi. Sta cavalcando una serie di 10 vittorie consecutive, di cui sei finiture consecutive. Lo scorso novembre, ha sfruttato appieno il suo primo colpo di titolo, scioccando il mondo delle MMA con un clamoroso knock out del campione in carica dei pesi piuma M-1 Challenge Ivan Buchinger nel turno di apertura alle M-1 sfida 86. Dalgiev ha cinque proposte e tre knockout nel suo record da professionista, compresi cinque arrivi al primo turno.

 

 

 

Evloev (9-0-0, M-1: 9-0-0), che combatterà a casa in Inguscezia, è uno dei campioni M-1 Global più dominanti. Una macchina cardio che è stata inarrestabile, è un combattente estremamente a tutto tondo. Evloev è sempre pronto per tutto ciò che può accadere in The Rage, capace di finire presto il suo avversario, o torturarlo per 25 verbale.

 

 

 

Giorni (15-5-0, M-1 1-1-0) preferisce prendersi il suo tempo per vincere con decisione, ma i fan potrebbero anche ricordare la sua splendida vittoria nel suo secondo incontro in M-1 Global, bloccando un grande soffocamento per sottomettersi Vadim Malygin a M-1 sfida 90.

 

 

 

Combattimenti aggiuntivi saranno presto annunciati. Tutte le lotte e combattenti sono soggette a cambiamento.

FINISHES GALORE HIGHLIGHT NEF 34 FIGHT NIGHT IN PORTLAND; NEF ANNOUNCES RETURN TO BANGOR

Lascia un commento

 

Portland, Maine (Giugno 17, 2018) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) made its return to Portland, Maine on Saturday night with the fight promotion’s latest mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave.” A jam-packed house of fight fans took in the action as NEF fighters delivered the non-stop excitement from bell to bell in what many are calling one of the best events the company has ever produced.

 

 

 

On a card featuring a total of 18 combattimenti, i giudici’ scorecards were not needed until the thirteenth bout of the evening. Prior to that time, the early card featured a plethora of exciting finishes including a pair of D’Arce Chokes courtesy of Angelo Rizzitello (2-1) and Henry Clark (4-4) and highlight-reel knockouts by Cody Rolling (5-5) and Zac Lawrence (1-0). Thirteen of the evening’s fights ended in the first round.

 

 

 

Kam Arnold (4-0) and Killian Murphy (1-1) waged an absolute war for the vacant amateur bantamweight title in what made history as the first amateur fight in Maine to ever go beyond the old three-round limit. Arnold claimed the title with a fourth-round knockout in a bout that will certainly be a contender for “Fight of the Year” this December when voting begins.

 

 

 

Not to be outdone, Carlton Charles (2-2) and Duncan “The Highlander” Fabbro (3-2) took their amateur welterweight title fight into the fourth round as well. Smith took the gold home after putting Charles out with a rear-naked choke.

 

 

 

On the professional side of the card, Young’s MMA teammates “Il” Ryan Sanders (16-9) and Aaron “Implacabile” Lacey (5-2) were in action. Sanders submitted Vince McGuiness (5-8) with just seconds remaining in the first round while Lacey lost a unanimous decision to Da’Mon Blackshear (5-1) nel main event.

ERICK “THE TIGER” SILVA

vs.

3-TIME LFA HEADLINER

NICK “THE PHOENIX” BARNES

 

 

WELTERWEIGHT SHOWDOWN

 

 

VENERDI, JULY 20th LIVE on AXS TV

LIVE at the MORONGO OUTDOOR PAVILION

in CABAZON, CALIFORNIA

Tickets on sale Tuesday June 19th through Ticketmaster.com

 

 

 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that LFA will return to southern California in July with an intriguing welterweight showdown headlining LFA 45.

 

 

 

L'evento principale della LFA 45 will feature the LFA debut of 15-time UFC veteran Erick Silva. He will face 3-time LFA headliner Nick “The Phoenix” Barnes. LFA 45 – Silva vs. Barnes takes place Friday, July 20th at the Morongo Outdoor Pavilion at the Morongo Casino, Località & Spa in Cabazon, California. L'intero carta principale sarà trasmessa in diretta e su scala nazionale AXS TV a 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA back to Coachella Valley at LFA 45”, Dichiarato Soares. “This will be our fourth show in my home state of California. Morongo Casino, Località & Spa is a world-class 4-diamond establishment and we look forward to returning in July with an explosive main event between Erick Silva and Nick Barnes.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 45 – Silva vs. Barnes will be available for purchase at noon PST on Tuesday June 19th via Ticketmaster.com.

 

 

 

Silva (19-9) makes his LFA debut eager to get back to his winning ways after spending the last seven years fighting in the UFC. The fifteen-time UFC vet became one of the sport’s most popular fighters due to his dynamic fighting style, which earned him UFC bonuses in nearly half of his bouts for the promotion. Silva won “Fight of the Night” tre volte, “Presentazione della Notte” due volte, e “Performance della notte” twice during his time in the UFC. The Jiu-Jitsu and Judo black belt and former UFC headliner also picked up notable submission victories over Josh Koscheck, Luan Chagas, Mike Rhodes, Jason Alta, and Charlie Brenneman during his tenure with the promotion. Ora “La Tigre” from Brazil looks to pounce once more in the main event of LFA 45.

 

 

 

Barnes (12-3) returns to the LFA Octagon for his third straight promotional main event dating back to the RFA days. This will also be his fourth straight fight for the promotion with the first two coming under the RFA banner. After alternating results in his first four fights with the promotion, “The Phoenix” will look to rise again at LFA 45. The Wyoming native, who now calls San Diego, California home, has long been considered one of the sport’s top welterweight prospects located in talent-rich southern California. Barnes will look to impress once more in front of a largely pro-Barnes crowd in sunny southern California, but this time around he has upped the ante by signing on to face the biggest name opponent of his career in the main event of LFA 45.

 

 

 

Attualmente Annunciato Card (In onda su AXS TV a 10 p.m. E / 7 p.m. PT):

 

 

 

Main Event | Welter (170 libbre)

 

 

– Erick Silva (19-9) vs. Nick Barnes (12-3)
