"Mi kalkulas ĉi tion kiel titolon, Mi lasos ĉiujn aliajn meti intervalon antaŭ ĝin. Moldavsky estas ĉampioneca batalanto kaj mi ankaŭ, do laŭ miaj okuloj ĉi tiu batalo fariĝos la plej bona pezegulo en la divido. "

"Estis facile fokusiĝi al lia ludplano, ĉar ĝi estas la sama afero, kiun mi faras. Ni ambaŭ estas fortaj luktistoj kaj havas pezan teron kaj funton. Mi supozas, ke ni vidos, kiu pli bone vendredon vendos. "

“Mia revigliĝo en mia kariero venas de tio, ke mi ne dubas pri mi mem. Mi perdis kelkajn sinsekve kaj estis facila ekskuzo ĉesi kaj dubi pri mi mem, sed mi ne faris, kaj mi povis forpreni tri sinsekve kaj meti min en pozicion gajni titolon. "

Valentin Moldavsky BELLATOR Pezegulo

“Jes, estas iuj similecoj inter mi kaj Tim. Mia stilo iom diferencas, Tamen, Mi ŝatas faligi homojn kaj fini ilin tie. "

“Nun, kiam ĉi tio estas titola batalo, Mi komprenas, ke estas pli interrete, sed ĉi tio estas nur alia batalo por mi. Mi planas fari tion, kion mi ĉiam faras, kaj tio estas batali kontraŭ mia batalo kaj venki. "

"Estas honoro trejni kun Fedor kaj reprezenti lian teamon."

“Lia luktado ne pli bonas ol la mia, kaj mia sambo estos pli efika ol lia luktado. ’

Liz Carmouche BELLATOR Virina Muŝa Pezo

“Mi planas akiri superregan finon kaj gajni titolan pafon. Mi pensas, ke neniu el ni volas, ke ĉi tio iru al decido. Vetero, ke mi batas ŝin senkonscie, tranĉante ŝin malfermita aŭ muelita kaj funta, Mi planas fini ĉi tiun batalon regante. "

"Estas vere ekscite batali antaŭ la fanoj kaj senti tiun energion denove. Eniri kaj eliri estas kie vi sentas ĝin, sed kiam mi enpaŝas la kaĝon, estas nur mi kaj mia kontraŭulo. "

"Ĉi tio havas nenion komunan kun Kana kaj ŝia disko. Mi devas fari superregan agadon kaj montri kial mi meritas esti la ĉampiono en ĉi tiu divido. Kiam mi alvenis al Bellator, Mi volis grimpi la tutan rangon, kaj tion mi faris kaj planas daŭre fari. "

"Sen doni tro multe, mi vidas multajn eblecojn ĉi tie. Mi vidas multajn handikapojn en ŝia ludo, kiun mi povas kapitaligi, kiu plibonigos mian ludon. Ĉi tio permesos al mi fari bonegan prezentadon kaj fini ŝin. "

Kana Watanabe BELLATOR Virina Muŝa Pezo

“Mi tre flatas la komparon al Rhonda, sed mia ĵudo kaj mia tero kaj funto estas tre progresintaj kaj multe malsamaj ol Rhonda. "

“Se mi havas pozitivan montradon vendrede, tiam mi kredas, ke mi meritas pafon ĉe la titolo. "

“Liz estas unu el la plej grandaj nomoj, kiujn mi iam batalis, sed ĉi tio ne ŝanĝas mian pensmanieron aŭ igas min senti premon. Mi honoras batali kontraŭ Liz kaj ne povas atendi paŝi en la kaĝo kun ŝi. "

“Mi honoras esti la kunĉefa evento vendrede. Tio ĉio signifas nenion, Tamen, se mi ne prezentos spektaklon kaj impresan prezentadon. Mi planas fari tion. ’

Myles Jury BELLATOR Malpeza

“Mi provas koncentriĝi pri la aferoj, kiujn mi povas regi, sed venko vendrede kune kun kiel mi batalis, devus meti min en la konversacion por titolo. "

"Mi kreditas mian fortecon por ĉi tiu du-batala venksinsekvo. Mi daŭre aperas kaj pene laboras. Kiam mi estis sur tiu tri-batala malvenko-serio, Mi ne permesis al mi malsupreniri. Post vendredo mi estos tri-batala venksinsekvo kaj en bonega loko por pafo ĉe la titolo, kaj mi kreditas mian fortecon kaj fortikecon pro tio. "

Sidney Outlaw BELLATOR Malpeza

“Mi pliboniĝis ĉiumaniere ebla. Jurio estas nur alia ulo, kiu spiras aeron, do mi havas nenion por zorgi. "

“Batalantaj uloj kiel Michael Chandler helpis min, sed fine de la tago estas mi vs.. Mi. Mi estas certa, kaj tio tradukiĝis al ĉiu alia aspekto de mia vivo. Mi estas preta por ĉi tiu batalo kaj prezentos spektaklon. "

Daniel Weichel BELLATOR Pluma pezo

*Klako HERE por vidi la plenan amaskomunikan sesion de Weichel

“Mi pensas ke Keoni estas malmola batalanto, sed mi antaŭĝojas doni al li sian unuan perdon. Mi ege ekscitiĝas pri ĉi tiu batalo kaj doni al li sian unuan perdon estos defio por mi, kaj mi antaŭĝuas ĝin. "

“Honeste, Mi ne volas rigardi antaŭ ĉi tiu batalo. Estis facile fari tion en la Granda Premio, kaj mi ne ŝatis ĝin. Keoni estas malmola kontraŭulo, kaj mia fokuso estis al li. Mi havis bonegan tendaron kaj antaŭĝojas montri tiun vendredon vespere. "

Keoni Diggs BELLATOR Pluma pezo

*Klako HERE por vidi Diggs-plenan amaskomunikan sesion

"Min provokas la defio. Ĉi tiu estas mia plej malfacila batalo ĝis nun, kaj ĝi estas kontraŭ la plej forta kontraŭulo. Mi antaŭĝojas fari deklaron kaj solidigi min en ĉi tiu divido. "

“Mia ludplano neniam ŝanĝiĝas. Mi prenos tion, kion li donas al mi kaj batos lin. Mi kredas, ke mi estas pli bona ol li ĉie, Mi ne vere antaŭĝojas pri venkoj kaj perdoj, sed mi nur volas fari bonegan prezentadon kaj montri, pri kio mi kapablas. "

"Nur ĉar li havas pli multajn batalojn, tio ne signifas, ke li havas misterajn potencojn. Mi trejnas kun iuj tre malfacilaj homoj, kaj mi mem estas veterano. Mi havas multan fidon al mi mem kaj ne vidas lin fari ion, kio ŝokos min, kiam ni enpaŝos la kaĝon. "

Christian Edwards BELLATOR Duonpezega

“Simon estas tre malmola, kaj ĝi estas sendube la plej forta kontraŭulo de mia kariero. Mi konas mian lertecon, Tamen, kaj mi scias, kion mi povas fari, kaj mi atendas montri tiun vendredon. "

“Mi scias, ke Simon estas tre potenca kaj sportema. Ĝi estas lia unua batalo en Usono, do mi atendas, ke li eliros flugante. Mi planas elteni la ŝtormon kaj poste konduki lin al profundaj akvoj, kie mi povos fini la batalon. "

Simon Biyong BELLATOR Duonpezega

“Estas revo batali en Usono kaj debuti ĉi tie estas grandega ŝanco. Mi estis origine en la antaŭbaloto kaj nun mi estas sur la ĉefa karto, kion pli mi povus peti??

"Mi ne havis multan tempon prepari por Edwards, sed ne gravas ĉar fine de la tago ĝi estas batalo. Ĝi estas mallonga avizo por mi, kaj ĝi estas mallongaj avizoj por li. Mi estos preta kaj ne povas atendi por montri miajn kapablojn. "

"Mi estas ĉi tie por meti min en pozicion por akiri rangan kontraŭulon, kaj Christian Edwards estas laŭ mia maniero. Mi pensas, ke li aspektis bone en sia lasta batalo, sed mi ne estas lia lasta kontraŭulo. Mi esperas, ke li estas preta, ĉar mi estas. "

BELLATOR MMA 263: PITBULL VS. MCKEE VIRTUAL PRESS CONFERENCE QUOTES

Lasi rimarkon
FULL PRESS CONFERENCE VIDEO HERE

LOS ANGELES – June 17, 2021 – BELLATOR MMA’s Featherweight and Lightweight World Champion Patricio Pitbull (32-4) and undefeated top-ranked challenger AJ McKee (17-0) previewed their must-watch Featherweight World Grand Prix Final and 145-pound title fight during a virtual press conference Wednesday. Both fighters’ head coaches, Eric Albarracin of Team Pitbull Brothers, Kaj Antonio McKee of Team Bodyshop, also chimed in with a look at the final preparations both fight camps are taking as we approach the massive event.

BELLATOR 263: Pitbull #kontra?. McKee will emanate from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., and will air live on SHOWTIME at 10 P.M. ET/7 p.m. PT. Tickets for the event go on sale tomorrow, Vendredo, Junio 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com.

Here is what the fighters and their coaches had to say Wednesday:

Patricio Pitbull, BELLATOR Featherweight World Champion & BELLATOR Lightweight World Champion

“I’m a little bit older and faster than the rest of my division and I’m going to use this in my favor. (22:47)

“Of all the opponents I’ve faced, AJ is the most dangerous, and I know that. Kun tiu estado diris, I know that I’m going to win this fight and prove his father wrong. (26:18)

“At the beginning of his career, he faced very low-level guys. He has a few wins over tough opponents, but he’s never fought anyone like me. He claims that he is ready for me, but he isn’t, and he’ll learn that very quickly in front of his home crowd.” (38:48)

AJ McKee, Ne. 1 Ranked BELLATOR Featherweight & Featherweight World Grand Prix Finalist

“It’s been a great journey and this is something I’ve dreamed of my entire career. Like I said, I’ve been calling Pitbull’s name since I first stepped into that cage and he’s ignored me, pretending like he doesn’t know who I am. Fine de la tago, there is nowhere else for him to run and he has to look me in my eyes. I’m looking forward to it. Everyone says I haven’t been tested and I agree. Sed, when you do see me get tested, a whole different animal will come out. (23:22)

“After I beat Pitbull and become the face of BELLATOR, we can run it back for that second belt too. Becoming champ-champ is something that I said I was always going to do, and that I will do. I went through the trials and tribulations of not wanting to fight, to then having my passion for this come back and me seeing all my goals be within reach. It’s going to be fun, especially after the long break due to my knee surgery. I can’t wait to get in there again. The Mercenary does one thing: he signs the contract and then takes the person out. (24:22)

“I’ve been preparing for this fight for six years because Pitbull has been at the top for so long. Denove, I have a foot longer reach on him, so he has to come to me. He says he is training with gold medal wrestlers, but I will do the same thing to him that I did to Pat Curran and Darrion Caldwell. I’m comfortable off my back. Just because he’s Brazilian, that doesn’t mean anything in terms of Jiu jitsu. I have that evolved Jiu jitsu and that’s what I get people with when they don’t see it coming.” (31:45)

Scott Coker, BELLATOR President

“We’re excited to be back in California and we are excited to be back in the Forum, a place where we have had so many great fights. It’s going to be an amazing event. My staff is excited and the fighters are excited. When you think about live sports, it needs fans. We got a taste of it last week at the Mohegan Sun, which has been an amazing partner for us, but it’s time to travel and get back to what BELLATOR does best. That is putting on great fights touring from city-to-city, starting with this amazing fight on July 31. (4:10)

“This is the fight that everyone wanted to see. We have so many amazing athletes in this division that we went through the lottery system for matchups, which provided us with amazing fights. But at the beginning, I was wishing that the final would be McKee versus Pitbull. When we signed McKee, he had zero fights to his name. Nun, look at where he is today. Back then, Pitbull was our champion and obviously still is today, so this fight is the “OG” vs. the new guard and we’ll have to see what happens.” (5:13)

Eric Albarracin, Team Pitbull Brothers Head Coach

“Patricio’s had a bullseye on his back since he became the champ in 2014, when he beat Pat Curran and this run has gone exactly as we planned. We were the matchmakers, we sent Darrion Caldwell to the other side of the bracket to take out some of the young bucks and he did. Tiam, AJ took him out and here we are. I think this is the perfect matchup for the finals. We have a young, up-and-coming, undefeated fighter and the pound-for-pound best fighter on the planet, Patricio Pitbull. This is going to be the greatest fight in BELLATOR history. (7:20)

“Even at 17-0, AJ is still very young in the game. He’s very unpredictable. Sed, at the end of the day it’s Pitbull who is the pound-for-pound best on the planet, it’s Pitbull who is the double champ, it’s Pitbull who has the best coaches in the game and they don’t know how to prepare for that.” (8:18)

Antonio McKee, Team Bodyshop Head Coach

“I lived a different life, one where it wasn’t all good. I was dealing with a lot of stuff that a lot of African American men deal with. No mother and no father, growing up in the streets of Los Angeles. It was what it was, but I made the right decisions and never got caught for anything that I did that could have put me away for the rest of my life and found my drive and motivation through my son. The things that AJ would say as a kid, like ‘Daddy if you die, can I die with you?’ I didn’t care about living and I didn’t have a problem with killing either. And then one day AJ says ‘Dad, whatever you do and wherever you go, I want to come with you.’ I was ready to clock out, but then I realized that I needed to be here for him. He had nothing but me, so that gave me the drive and the strength to find a better way out.

“I made it this far, did my thing as a wrestler and was the best in the world. I did what I was doing, but I didn’t have the right mindset, so I had to check my mental and learn how to be a respectable human being. Once I did that, things started to shift for me and now here we are. I did things to keep AJ in private school, not to buy cars, Muziko, and jewelry. I did it all to pay for his school tuition.” (14:36)

BELLATOR 263 TAKES PLACE AT THE FORUM IN LOS ANGELES ON SATURDAY, JULY 31 – VIVE SUR SHOWTIME?

LOS ANGELES — And then there were two…

What began with 16 featherweight athletes vying for a one-million-dollar grand prize and the BELLATOR Featherweight World Championship has been narrowed to the greatest BELLATOR athlete in the history of the promotionPatricio Pitbull (32-4) and the company’s best-ever homegrown fighter in No. 1 RangitaAJ McKee (17-0).

The culmination of the BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix takes place Saturday, Julio 31 #?E La Forumo en Inglewood, Calif., and marks the company’s first domestic event hosted away from “The Fightsphere” since February 2020.

BELLATOR 263: Pitbull #kontra?. McKeeairs live on SHOWTIME at 10 P.M. ET/7 p.m. PT and tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, Junio 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com with a pre-sale taking place on Thursday.

“This is without a doubt going to be the biggest BELLATOR fight of all time,” said BELLATOR President Scott Coker. “AJ McKee has been calling for a shot at Pitbull’s title since his very first professional victory inside our cage six years ago. Now he’s finally getting the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming a world champion against the winningest fighter in BELLATOR history. For Pitbull a win over McKee in this tournament final would be a statement piece to add to his long list of accolades and legacy as the best 145-pounder on the planet.”

One half of the vaunted Pitbull Brothers duo, Patricio has long been considered the crown jewel of BELLATOR MMA, where he sits atop the pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable record of 32-4 with wins over elite competition including the likes ofPat Curran, Juan Archuleta, Daniel Weichel (x2) and most recently a second triumph over Emmanuel Sanchez, the 33-year-old stands alone as the featherweight king. Cetere, he was able to capture the Lightweight World Championship in a 2019 contest opposite Michael Chandler, becoming only the second BELLATOR athlete to hold two titles simultaneously. Kun 23 finishes in 36 professional fights, Pitbull has shown time and time again that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

With a perfect record of 17-0, AJ McKee has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut at the ripe age of 20-years-old. With an even six knockouts and six submissions, the now-26-year-old McKee has shown a knack for securing finishes—and fast—with nine coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every man who has opposed him including former champions Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan, and Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted most-recently with a rare, modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” Finally, the Long Beach native will face the man he has called for since signing with BELLATOR, as he takes on Patricio Pitbull in the much-anticipated Featherweight World Grand Prix Final.

The preliminary portion of the event streams live at 7 P.M. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel, as well as Pluto TV and features former featherweight title challenger and No. 2 RangitaEmmanuel Sanchez(20-5) versus Denmark’s No. 8 RangitaMads Burnell(15-3), a bantamweight tilt between No. 3 RangitaMagomed “Tiger” Magomedov(18-1) Kaj Ne. 4 Raufeon “Supa” Stots(16-1) and a lightweight affair pitting undefeatedUsman Nurmagomedov (12-0) KontraŭManny-muro(12-6).

FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE WILL BE ON THE LINE AT NEF 44 IN MILFORD, NH

Lasi rimarkon

PRO TIO KE TUJA ELKARCERIGO: Milford, Nov-Hampŝiro (Junio 9, 2021) ?? Novaj Angliaj Bataloj (NEF) returns with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021 at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire. The show will feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card.Nathanial Grimard(3-0) Prenos surBrandon “BAMF” Maillet-Fevens(3-1) for the vacant NEF Amateur Featherweight Championship.

Grimard and Maillet-Fevens were originally scheduled to meet at “NEF 43” last year until the event was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grimard has not let the global pandemic slow down his fight aspirations. With New England states closed for MMA events, Grimard ventured south to Florida last February and again just last week, picking up back-to-back wins to open his amateur career at a perfect 3-0. The Exeter, New Hampshire native represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC and Bellator veteran, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell.

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to fight for title,” said Grimard.  “I have been improving every fight, and I believe I have the skills and hard work to win the belt. I can’t wait to show my improvements in the NEF cage. I expect to see the best version of Brandon, and I think we will put on a great fight for August 21st.”

“Nate is exactly what you’d want in a fighter,” said Grimard teammate and Nostos co-proprietor Carol Linn Powell.  “He does BJJ, striking, Luktanta, drills, forto kaj prepariteco, spars smart, even puts the Gi on. He has been working so hard for this sport and never stopped when the world did. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a title shot and I can’t wait to see him win that belt.”

Brandon Maillet-Fevens is one of the great comeback stories of NEF history. After losing his amateur debut at “NEF 36” in November 2018, Maillet-Fevens went on a three-fight win-streak, finishing all three of his opponents in those fights. In his most recent outing pre-pandemic, Maillet-Fevens defeated Tyler Knights (0-1) via second-round submission at “NEF 41” in November 2019. Maillet-Fevens represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, ME.

“It’s been a long year and half, but we never stopped working, never stopped perfecting our skills, because we knew this day was coming,” declared Maillet-Fevens.  “I think this is a very exciting matchup. You’ve got two proven finishers that are hungry to take that next step in our careers. I know we’re both ready to go in there, put on a great show, and leave it all in the cage. I’m grateful and excited for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to a great fight!?

“Brandon is one of those guys who shows up every day, works hard, never complains, and even when he’s not fighting he’s in the gym getting better and helping his teammates,” noted CMBJJ coach Jesse Erickson.  “He’s a role model for my up-and-comers. I’m very much looking forward to this contest!?

“My first two opponents in MMA were also Mexicans and they were tough. I don’t want it any other way if I’m going to have people take me seriously in this sport.

During the filming we talked about helping each other train in our respective disciplines and yeah, it materialized but in way I became an MMA practitioner.

“Training is totally different. I took a year off from boxing just to learn the basics. #Hodia?, I train everyday regardless of upcoming fights or not. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. I’m pretty much a workaholic and a sore loser, tiom, if I’m messing with it, I want it all! I’d love to one day fight for World title (En MMA) and become a champion in both sports at the same time. I have what it takes to do it if anyone does.

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Lasi rimarkon

PRO TIO KE TUJA ELKARCERIGO: Milford, Nov-Hampŝiro (Junio 7, 2021) ?? Novaj Angliaj Bataloj (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021.  The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.

NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Furiozado,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.

“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”

NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).

“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”

Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Majno.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,” Diris Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”

Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, Nov-Hampŝiro.

“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone!  I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”

“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!?

Tickets for “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atWww.newenglandfights.com/tickets/.  The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, #A?gusto 21, 2021, with a bell-time of 7 pm.
