Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC, a run that saw him defeat current middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (tweemaal), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, doing broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz bij Bellator 170 in januari.

“The Axe Murderer” has fought in some of the most memorable feuds and battles the sport has ever seen. His wars with"Rampage" Jackson, 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. Silva is far from ready to close the book on his illustrious career, returning to action against a man that he has despised for quite some time. In addition to the PRIDE middleweight title, Silva’s trophy case includes awards for “Fight of the Year” (2003, 2004, 2007), KO van het Jaar (2008) and multiple “Fight of the Night” awards, including one for each of his last three fights. He now looks to continue entertaining fans inside the Bellator cage and begins with a bout several years in the making.

Een voormalige PRIDE kampioen, “The Last Emperor” is één van de meest gerespecteerde en gerespecteerde zwaargewicht vechters de sport heeft gezien. Stone-faced en stil, Emelianenko pochte een van de meest indrukwekkende ongeslagen strepen in de geschiedenis van de MMA, niet verliezen van een gevecht tussen 2001 en 2009. Een multi-keer wereldkampioen in MMA en Sambo, Fedor keerde onlangs terug naar de sport na een korte onderbreking, accumulating two decisive wins since his return to action.

Matt Mitrione remains poised to make an impact in the Bellator heavyweight division following two emphatic wins since signing with Bellator in 2016. The Illinois native and standout defensive end at Purdue University earned All-Big Ten honors in 2000 and subsequently earned his way into the NFL where he played six seasons as a member of the New York Giants and Minnesota Vikings. Mitrione ultimately found his way into MMA where he became a high-level competitor, defeating the likes of the late Kimbo Slice, Derrick Lewis and Gabriel Gonzaga.

Hailing from Atlanta, Ga. “The Phenom” has been ruling the roost at 170-pounds in Bellator for the better part of three years. A winner of 16 van zijn laatste 18 prijsvragen, the American Top Team product remains set on doing away with all viable contenders at welterweight and his first step since reclaiming the strap from Andrey Koreshkov comes against one of Bellator’s newest signees, Lorenz Larkin.

Set to enter the Bellator fray is a “Monsoon” of violent proportions – unanimously ranked on lists compiling the top-ten welterweights on the planet, Larkin is set to continue his career in Bellator, after inking an exclusive, multi-fight contract last week. A known finisher, the pride of Riverside, Calif. will make his promotional debut a winner of four out of five.

Chandler will look to defend his belt for the first time since successfully defending it in a “Fight of the Year” candidate against Benson Henderson last November. A 16-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Chandler has consistently proven that he belongs among the world’s elite, riding into his bout on Juni 24 on a streak of four straight victories.

Also a native of Oregon, the surging Primus remains unbeaten after five consecutive wins to begin his Bellator MMA career. Op slechts 31, Primus has been committed to honing his craft since he was 13, going as far as to sell his landscaping business to keep his hopes of someday becoming a champion alive. Op Juni 24, he finally has the opportunity to make his dreams come to fruition.

Nevorov (hierboven afgebeeld) will be dropping down in weight from featherweight to bantamweight to fight for the title.

Known for his tremendous physicality, coupled with an excellent grappling game and diverse striking skill set, Nevzorov has been tabbed as a future MMA star.

Nagibin is coming off an impressive third-round stoppage (stoten) van De rbanali Abdusalamov bij M-1 Challenge 72 last November, while D’Avila won his M-1 Global debut last, verstikking out Zalimbeg Omarov for the M-1 Challenge 73 Indiening van de Nacht.

FIRST WOMEN’S MMA TITLE FIGHT IN MAINE AT NEF 28

Laat een reactie achter

 

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 17, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presenteert zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement “NEF 28: ONOVERWINNELIJK” op zaterdag, April 29, 2017 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s title fight to the card. Jessica “De zwarte weduwe” pay (5-2) returns to take on “Scary” Kerri Kenneson (4-1) to crown a new NEF MMA Amateur Women’s Bantamweight Champion.

 

The bout is historic in that it will not only determine the first NEF women’s champion, but the fight will represent the first female MMA title matchup ever held on Maine soil.

 

“Our women’s division has grown so much in the past couple of years,” zei NEF mede-eigenaar en promotor Nick Di Salvo. “It was time to add a title picture to the mix. This is the first of what we hope to be many female title fights between superior athletes in the NEF cage.”

 

jessica Borg, a Florida resident, will be making her third appearance in the NEF cage in less than a year. She dropped a hard-fought decision to Rachael Joyce (3-0) last September at “NEF 25.” Borga returned to Maine a few weeks later to win a decision over Brianne Genschel (0-1), delivering an impressive, dominant performance against the black belt. Borga trains out of Champions MMA in Lakeland, Florida and is currently on a three-fight win streak. She is the holder of two regional titles won in her home state, and she is looking to add a third belt to her collection on April 29.

 

“I’m so honored and excited to be back in the NEF cage not only to fight for such a great promotion, but to fight for their first-ever women’s title against a great opponent,” said Borga. “I can’t wait to put on a show for everyone, and I promise I won’t disappoint!”

 

A native of Bow, New Hampshire, Kerri Kenneson trains with Team Link in Hooksett. She has won her last four in a row, including a victory over NEF veteran Kylie O’Hearn (1-2) last summer. Kenneson’s sole loss came in her MMA debut two years ago this April. Coming off a win on a fight card last month in New York State, Kenneson is confident that she will defeat Borga and claim the NEF bantamweight title at “NEF 28.”

 

“If I haven’t already done so, this fight will solidify that I am the best in the Northeast, and I’ll be coming for the rest,” Kenneson declared. “She’s all for show. She’s about to feel what I’m capable of and she’s not going to like it.”

New England Fights keert terug naar de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine met zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement, “NEF 28: ONOVERWINNELIJK,” op Zaterdag, April 29, 2017. Tickets zijn nu te koop aan de kassa van Colisee 207-783-2009 X 525 en online op www.TheColisee.com.

FEMALE STRAWWEIGHT BOUT RESCHEDULED TO NEF 28

Laat een reactie achter

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Maart 16, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presenteert zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement “NEF 28: ONOVERWINNELIJK” op zaterdag, April 29, 2017 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition an amateur women’s bout to the card. Alex Walker (2-1) ontmoet Katie Baker (0-0) at the strawweight limit of 115-pounds.

 

Walker and Baker were originally scheduled to face each other last month at “NEF 27.” Helaas, a medical issue forced Walker to withdraw from the contest just days before the fight. Now fully healed, Walker is back training regularly at the Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire in preparation for “NEF 28.”

 

“Injuries have plagued me and my team for the last two years, but I am healthy now, so watch out,” exclaimed Walker. “I am going on a run and nothing will stop me!”

 

Losing her opponent so close to the event was definitely a disappointment for Baker and her many fans. Training in the martial arts from an early age, the eighteen-year-old had waited years to compete in the MMA cage. Baker is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. She made her amateur boxing debut last year.

 

“I was really bummed when Alex withdrew from our fight,” said Baker. “You make the sacrifices it takes to train and diet, not to mention the disappointment of those who purchased tickets. But I knew, and our fans knew, Alex is a warrior and would not back out unless something was wrong. I’m looking forward to finally meeting her in the cage on 29 april.”

FORMER WRESTLING STANDOUTS SET TO THROW DOWN AT NEF 28

Laat een reactie achter

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Maart 15, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presenteert zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement “NEF 28: ONOVERWINNELIJK” op zaterdag, April 29, 2017 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a pair of amateur bouts to the card. Ken Dunn(0-4) is set to face Eddie DeRoche (0-1) in a catchweight bout and double amateur debut fighters Caleb Austin (0-0) van Rumford, Maine and James Ploss (0-0) from Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, NH are set to tangle in a feature flyweight bout.

 

Caleb Austin is a two-time Maine state wrestling champion and a member of the exclusive “200 Wins Club,” a rare feat in Maine wrestling. Austin recently completed his high school career with an overall record of 208-11. Caleb’s father, Eric Austin—also a former Maine state wrestling champion—is an undefeated veteran of the cage, weg zijn 2-0 in NEF back in 2012. Net als zijn vader, Caleb is preparing to put his wrestling on display for the NEF fans in his debut on April 29th.

 

“I’ve wrestled my entire life and grown-up around the NEF community,” stated Austin when reached for comment. “I’ve been waiting a long time to turn 18 to become eligible to compete in the sport of mixed martial arts like my father did. I’m excited to put my skills to the test, represent Rumford and put on a show in the NEF cage. Ik ben klaar. "

 

Austin’s opponent, James Ploss, trains with Greg Williams at the well-known Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Several NEF veterans with names familiar to fans, including Allan Josselyn, Mike Bezanson and Alex Walker, hail from the Kaze Dojo. Ploss is committed to carrying on the tradition of strong debuts from the White Mountains gym and following through on a personal promise in the process.

 

“Fighting is real personal to me,” Ploss stated when reached for comment. “I promised the man that raised me that I would fight. He died shortly after that. I want to prove to him and myself that I can be successful in this sport. My goal is to inspire others to achieve.”

 

Eddie DeRoche wrestled alongside Austin for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. During his time there, DeRoche was a two-time state finalist. He made his NEF debut in June 2016 at “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” in a losing effort against Skyler Bang. Reinvigorated at the opportunity to make up for his debut, DeRoche is committed to finding his first win in the NEF cage on April 29th at NEF 28.

 

“My first fight was a great learning experience,” stated DeRoche, when reached for comment. “I appreciated it for what it was and have made the necessary adjustments to make sure I come out on top when I step back into the NEF cage for the second time on April 29th."

 

DeRoche’s opponent, Ken Dunn, is also looking for redemption at NEF 28. Dunn has made three prior trips to the NEF cage since debuting with the promotion back in 2015 and is hungry for his first win inside the NEF hexagon.

 

“I want to show NEF fans that I’m worthy of a rematch and title shot at Velado and that strap,” stated Dunn when reached for comment. “Eddie Deroche is a worthy adversary. I’m excited to compete against him. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll—and I ain’t stopping until I get there.”

Ik heb de kracht van een middelzwaar gewicht en de cardio zoals de Diaz-broers en ik ben altijd op zoek naar de finish. Hongerig naar 29 april!”

Vertegenwoordigen van Zuid-New England zal Providence zijn, Keenan Raymond van Rhode Island. Een oude concurrent in de New England MMA-scene, Raymond zal proberen wat roest in de kooi weg te werken, aangezien hij sinds januari niet meer heeft gevochten 2016. Hij is geenszins een eendimensionale vechter. Raymond heeft gedurende zijn hele carrière een solide basis getoond in zowel opvallend als mat werk met afwerkingen die zowel door knock-out als onderwerping kwamen. Hij traint momenteel bij Ricardo Cavalcanti Braziliaans Jiu-Jitsu en Mayo Quanchi Judo en Wrestling.

“Ik weet zeker dat Ricky een speltegenstander is, maar ik kan beloven dat hij nog nooit zo'n kracht heeft gehad als ik,” zei Raymond. “Ik ben gezond en mijn veelzijdigheid zal dit gevecht op de een of andere manier beëindigen.”

DANGER MOUSE LOOKS TO CONTINUE HIS WINNING WAYS AT NEF 28

Laat een reactie achter

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 13, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presenteert zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement “NEF 28: ONOVERWINNELIJK” op zaterdag, April 29, 2017 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (3-2) returns to take on Ander “de Finisher” Belcarris (0-0) bij een gevecht gewicht van 135-pond.

Leland, a resident of South Portland, Maine, is a mainstay of the NEF cage. He fought his sophomore amateur contest at “NEF I” back in February 2012 and has competed on eight of the promotion’s cards since, including one appearance as a professional boxer. Holding a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, it should come as no surprise that all three of Leland’s professional victories have come by way of submission. He forced veteran Nick Santos to tap to an arm triangle choke last month at “NEF 27.” Daarbij, Leland snapped a two-fight losing streak. He will look to stay on the winning track on April 29.

“I’m very excited to get back in the cage once again,” Said Leland. “I want to keep this momentum going. I’m ready for war and putting in more work this year than I ever have before. Be prepared for a hell of a fight – you will be sorry if you miss it! Mother f**king beast mode!”

Andre Belcarris will make his professional debut at “NEF 28,” but he already has a wealth of experience in the MMA cage. He began competing in the sport as an amateur in 2010 and has had more than 30 fights since – an astounding number for an amateur mixed-martial-artist. Belcarris fights out of Bennington, Vermont where he is a member of team Northeast Assassins. In direct contrast to Leland’s mat skills, Belcarris is a striker with 11 knockout wins to his credit in the amateur ranks.

“I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Eli’s caliber,” stated Belcarris when reached for comment. “It means that my time has finally come. Verwacht vuurwerk!”

LIVE ON AZTECA AMERICA AND UFC FIGHT PASS®

BANTAMWEIGHT MAIN EVENT: MARCELO “PITBULL” ROJO VS. IVAN FLORES

Featherweight Co-Main Event:
Walter Zamora vs. Alex “Gallito” Flores

Meer:
Erick “Ghost Pepper” Gonzalez vs. Marco Antonio “La Roca” Elpidio

NEW YORK - Maart 10, 2017 – Combate Americas announced its second event of the year in a Mexican territory – a debut visit to the city of Tijuana – op Donderdag, Maart 30, live op Azteca-Amerika (10 p.m. EN/PT) and UFC Fight Pass® (8 p.m. EN/5 p.m. PT), from Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez Moreno.

In het bantamgewicht (135 pond) main event, Argentijns Marcelo “Pitbull” Rood (10-4) will square off with fellow rising star and Monterrey, Mexico native Iván “El Brasil” Flores (8-1-1).

Rood, a semifinalist on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter Latin America, will make his promotional debut in La Jaula, de Combate Amerika kooi, and set out to prove that he has the tools necessary to lead Combate Americas’ fast-growing, 135-pond divisie.

“I’m not only here as a guest. I came here to become the most important fighter in my division,” said Rojo. “MMA has grown in Argentina, and it’s about time that we show that on this side of the continent. This fight will be a duel between the North against South.”

On the other side, Bloemen, who suffered his first career defeat at the hands of unbeaten Mark “De Hommel” Delarosa at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City, Mexico on Januari 19, now wants to return to the win column immediately.

“When you face a Mexican fighter, you have to be prepared for the most difficult fight of your life. I hope (Rood) is aware of that, if he wants to be victorious” said Flores.

Rojo will fight for the first time in Mexico after an extensive career in South American arenas where he has become one of the most popular fighters in the region.

In the featherweight (145 pond) co-main event, Walter Zamora (9-2) of Costa Rica will battle Alex “Gallito” Flores (8-1) of Monterrey.

Zamora’s debut in Combate Americas will once again personify the sports rivalry between Mexican and Central American fighters.

“Mexico is always the one to beat at any sport,” Zamora explained. “It won’t be any different against Flores. We are going to put on a good show. It will be a spectacular evening because the best fighters of the Americas will be present in Tijuana.”

In other action in La Jaula, Erick “Ghost Pepper” González (5-2) Los Angeles, Calif. will return to action just six weeks after his heroic, “Fight of the Night” performance against Danny “The Realist” Ramírez at Combate11 on February 16.

Gonzalez will battle Marco Antonio “La Roca” Elpidio (7-1) of Mexico City in a lightweight (155 pond) affaire. Elpidio was victorious by way of split decision over Rodrigo “Kazula” Vargas at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City.

Gonzalez’s three-fight win streak was snapped when he gave up a unanimous decision to Ramirez.

In another bantamweight scrap, Joey “El Cazador” Ruquet (4-1) van Las Vegas, Nev. zal botsen met Jose Salasar (4-2) van Tijuana.

Ruquet notched a spectacular victory by submission (achter-naakte vernauwing) in de tweede ronde (1:47) of action against Jose “The Ghost” Ceja at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City.

Extra Combate12 bouts will be announced soon.
