c-Gegard Mousasi (48-7-2) beseiret #1-John Salter (18-5) via TKO (punches) ved 2:07 av runde tre-

Gegard Mousasi following retaining his middleweight title:

“He’s a southpaw so everything is more difficult. It was a little bit more difficult to get my punches in, but other than that I felt good. I’m way stronger than people think. Maybe I look skinny but I’m a lot stronger and physically I was the stronger guy in there. On top, I felt like I could just pressure him, put my weight on him and hurt him with my punches. Make him feel the pressure. It was a five-rounder so in my mind, I’m saying ‘Okay, don’t do everything now because we can go five.’”

Andrey Koreshkov (24-4) beseiret #10-Sabah Homasi (15-10) via enstemmig avgjørelse (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Andrey Koreshkov following his return to the BELLATOR MMA Cage:

“I try to show everybody that I’m here, I can compete, and I can beat anyone. I think I’m one of the top fighters in this division. Etter min mening, I must fight with somebody for the third, second or first place. I’m open to anybody. It doesn’t matter. Neiman Gracie, Jason Jackson, Paul Daley, Michael “Venom” Page – anybody!"

#4-Raufeon Stots (17-1) beseiret #3-Magomed Magomedov (18-2) via enstemmig avgjørelse (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Raufeon Stots following his impressive victory:

“I’ve never claimed to be the best wrestler in MMA, but y’all better stop sleeping on my wrestling. I’m a two-time national champion for a reason. Ain’t nobody stopping me in the wrestling division. I’m the best wrestler in the division.”

#7-Davion Franklin (4-0) beseiret Everett Cummings (15-1) via KO (punches) ved :21 av runde ett

Davion Franklin has his sights set on fellow BELLATOR heavyweight Cheick Kongo:

“I was just thinking about putting him out. Getting him out in the first round. That was my goal this whole time. I learned just to keep going. By the way, I heard Cheick Kongo commented under Everett Cummings’ Instagram post saying that Everett’s gonna’ tap me out. Hey Cheick Kongo, step up, you’ll get done the same way, if not worse.”

Khadzhi Bestaev (11-4) beseiret Du Gwerder (5-3) via enstemmig avgjørelse (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Khadzhi Bestaev had this to say following a successful BELLATOR debut:

“He was bigger than me and very tough, but I knew he was going to gas out. He started gassing out in the second or third round, but I’m still surprised by the decision. I thought it was a draw or maybe a split-decision. But I have to see the fight. In my head, he kicked and punched me so many times so hats off to him. He didn’t give up. I just dropped him a couple of times and that was the difference.”

Foreløpige kort:
Pam Sorenson (9-3) beseiret Roberta Samad (5-1) via delt avgjørelse (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

En person med skjegg

Beskrivelse automatisk generert med middels selvtillit
LOS ANGELES – BELLATOR MMA kunngjorde i morges at den største tungvekts mixed martial artist gjennom tidene, Fedor "Den siste keiseren" Emelianenko (39-6, 1 NC) vil ta på seg nummer to rangerte tungvekter Tim Johnson (15-7) i hovedturneringen av BELLATOR Moskva: Fedor vs. Johnson på lørdag, Oktober. 23 på VTB Arena.

Billetter til det etterlengtede arrangementet er i salg nå og kan kjøpes på Kassir.ru. Ytterligere matchups og SHOWTIME-telecastdetaljer vil bli avslørt snart.

Ansett som den største tungvekteren i mixed martial arts historie, Fedor Emelianenko returnerer til BELLATOR-buret for første gang siden hans dominerende TKO-seier i første runde Quinton "Rampage" Jackson i 2019. Med en strålende karriere som har sett ham tjene 30 stopp i hans 39 seire over legendarisk motstand, den tidligere PRIDE FC-verdensmesteren i tungvekt skal kjempe i hjemlandet Russland for første gang på fem år. En fire ganger verdensmester i kampsambo, «The Last Emperor» satt sammen en vanvittig åtte år lang ubeseiret rekke på vei til å bli et internasjonalt MMA-ikon. Emelianenko har etablert Team Fedor, som inneholder flere russiske toppfly, inkludert BELLATORs verdensmester i lett tungvekt Vadim Nemkov og BELLATORs midlertidige tungvektmester Valentin Moldavsky. Med sine tre siste seire kommer i form av avslutning i første runde, Fedor ser etter å legge til nok et spennende kapittel til sin store kampkarriere i oktober 23.

2020 var et stort år for Johnson, som UFC-veterinæren noterte tre seire i like mange kamper med imponerende avslutninger i første runde Matt Mitrione og Tyrell Fortune og en avgjørelsesseier over Cheick Kongo under det historiske, tidenes første store MMA-arrangement i Frankrike. Xtreme Couture-produktet viste at han har dyktighet og utholdenhet for mesterskapsrunder da han gikk hele fem med Team Fedors Valentin Modlavsky (11-1) denne siste juni. Stolt fra Nord-Dakota, Johnson er et nåværende medlem av USAs nasjonalgarde som vant to nasjonale mesterskap mens han bryting ved Minnesota State University.

Har en imponerende MMA-rekord av 30-11-2, 1 NC, Do Not. 3-ranked Cheick Kongo returns to action for the first time since headlining the first-ever major MMA event in his native France last October. The former kickboxer remains a force to be reckoned with and holds records for the most fights (16) and wins (12) in BELLATOR heavyweight history. With high-profile victories over Vitaly Minakov, Mirko Cro Cop, Antoni Hardonk, and Matt Mitrione, the Parisian is keen to pad his current promotional records, set new ones, and earn his shot at BELLATOR gold.

The man nicknamed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the Russian scoring vicious wins against some of the sport’s marquee names, such as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua, Matt Mitrione, and Alistair Overeem. Nå, fresh off two championship victories on the regional circuit, Kharitonov returns to the BELLATOR cage with the intention of climbing the heavyweight rankings and asserting himself as a BELLATOR title contender.

28-year-old Hungarian Adam “The Kid” Borics has won 17 av 18 fights to begin his professional career, bouncing back from his only loss with three straight victories. Training out of South Florida’s Sanford MMA gym, Borics has firmly established himself as a true threat to anyone in the 145-pound division, where he is currently ranked third.

Undefeated in his first eight fights as a professional, New Zealand’s Wilson has won in style, accumulating six finishes in those eight wins. Following a split decision win against Tywan Claxton, Wilson scored a violent knockout of Sergio DeBari, then followed that victory up with an equally vicious spinning backfist stoppage over SBG’s Pedro Carvalho in April. The Kiwi fighter will be looking to secure a high-stakes victory over Borics with a world title shot awaiting the winner.

C-Juliana Velasquez (12-0) beseiret #3-Denise Kielholtz (6-3) via delt avgjørelse (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)

Juliana Velasquez:
“I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”

“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”

“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”

#5Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) beseiret #7-Matt Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) via innsending (streik) ved 1:45 av runde ett

Tyrell Fortune:
“I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.

“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Like I said, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.

“I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. Til meg, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his aout just like he did me.”

Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) beseiret Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) via TKO (streik) ved 1:33 av runde to

Matheus Mattos:
“He’s a wrestler. Så, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. Heldigvis, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.”

"Jeg føler meg fantastisk, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. Forhåpentligvis, everything went well.

“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Så, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, and now they know me. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.

“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”

#2Arlene Blencowe (14-8) beseiret Dayana Silva (9-6) via TKO (punches) ved 1:00 av runde tre-

Arlene Blencowe:
"Jeg føler meg fantastisk. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Så, this win is for you.”

“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.”

#5-Johnny Eblen (9-0) beseiret Travis Davis (10-5) via enstemmig avgjørelse (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Johnny Eblen:

“My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. Så, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.”

“He was talking s— sier, 'Hey, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”

SFT 27 this Thursday screening on FITE from Brazil

The wait is over

Two title fights featured on SF7 27

This Thursday on FITE from Brazil

SAO PAULO, Brasil (Juli 12, 2021) – The first SFT event of 2021,SFT 27, will be held this Thursday night (Juli 15) Sao Paulo i, Brasil, featuring a pair of SFT title fights, in SFT’s first show since last December.

SFT 27 will be streamed exclusively on FITE in the United States and worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), starter på 6:00 pm. OG / 3:00 pm. PT, for only $14.99.

“The wait is over,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson proclaimed. “Our main event between rising star ‘Maumito’ and always dangerous Bispo will determine who the King of Brazilian lightweights is today. We also have another SFT title fight as Cantuaria and Borges battle for the vacant SFT female flyweight crown. The rest of this card is loaded as well with some of Brazil’s up-and-coming fighters

The main event pits SFT’s 2020 Fighter of the Year, Manuel “Maumito” Sousa (6-0-0, SFT: 6-0-0), mot veteranBrendo “The Monster” Bispo (17-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) for the vacant SFT Lightweight Championship.

The 23-year-old Sousa is a tremendous striker whose overall combat sports record includes 23 straight victories in kickboxing, 18 etter knockout, and all six of his pro MMA fights have been victories in SFT competition, none going into the third round.

“I’m training well, a lot on the ground, because I know he has a Jiu-Jitsu black belt,” Sousa reported. “But since I’m training hard, I’m not worried about that. MMA brings together all areas, so you need to be ready. In training, we put ourselves in danger, as if we were in the fight, and that increases my confidence, and it keeps the gas in check. At 27 år, Brendo Bispo has more experience in professional MMA than me with 17 wins and four losses. ‘Maranhão’ sees the point as positive, men, he knows that it is not a guarantee of victory. Therefore, he benefits from his work carried out at Chute Boxe Diego Lima, one of the main teams in the country.”

Currently on a 6-fight win streak, Bispo accepted the challenge of fighting hot prospect Sousa after a few other fighters passed on the opportunity. Acclaimed as one of the top lightweights in Brazil, Bispo now has the chance to prove he’s No. 1 versus Sousa. Bispo trains at the famed Chute Boxeo, under the direction of the famedCharles Oliveira.  A solid all-around fighter, the more experienced Bispo has seven victories by knockout, along with five more by submission.

“As often as I’ve fought,” Bispo said, “I always think like it’s the first time. Så, I don’t generate as many expectations and my mind goes blank, something that helps me a lot in my daily life and in the fight. On the other hand, I’ve learned a lot by climbing in the cage to fight 22 ganger, so that helps. The main one, men, is the training at Chute Boxe Diego Lima. Now, in the final stretch of the fight, we are going more slowly, working on our strategy, rest, and weight loss. Diego Lima is my teacher, venn, and manager (ler), so he’s been with me. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to be in my corner, but he spent the necessary time.You can expect a renewed Brendo; more technical, raskere, and stronger.

I co verdig begivenhet, Mayra Cantuaria (8-3-1, SFT: 2-0-0) ansikterPaty Borges (4-4-0, SFT: 2-2-0) for the vacant SFT Female Flyweight Championship. Cantuaria, who has fought the in the traditional Japanese event, Pacrase, while Borges has won her last two fights heading into her showdown with Cantuaria.

Another sensational match-up isBruno “Beirutel” Tavares (13-5-1, SFT: 1-0-0) against featherweightThiago “Manchinha” Silva(19-9-0 (SFT: 0-1-0). Other exciting MMA fights include welterweightLuis “Hulk” Fernando (18-6-0) vs.Alex “Canguru” Sandro (10-3-0), fjærvektMarcos “Maraja” Rodriguez (16-5-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vs.Estabill Amato (10-4-0, SFT: 1-2-0), bantamvektDeja Moura (5-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vs.Manoel Lima “Aranja” Silva (5-4-0, SFT: 1-1-0), fluevektMarciano Ferreira (5-1-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vs.Antonio “Piaui” Rodrigues (9-2-0, SFT: 0-1-0), undefeated bantamweightFernando “Fernandinho” Henrique (3-0-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vs.Apollo “Deus Da Guerra” Gomes (5-0-0) and pro debutingLuana Santos vs. bantamvektMajorie “Brutal” Barragan (1-0-0).
