Despite the cold and rainy weather in Dublin, the main and co-main event fighters turned up the heat at the Official Fight Week Press Conference for the co-promoted event inside the Gibson Hotel. Bellator MMA Uachtarán Scott Coker took center stage alongside BAMMA CEO David Green, and the two were flanked by “Bellator 169” combatants Rí Mo(19-5, 1 NC) agus Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1) in éineacht le James Gallagher (4-0), agus Anthony Taylor (14-2), as well as BAMMA main eventers Tom Duquesnoy (13-1, 1 NC) agus Alan Philpott (16-8), a Chris Fields (11-7-1), a ghlacann ar Andrew Clamp (8-1, 1 NC).

Below are several transcribed quotes from the press conference.

Rí Mo:

“The cold weather (in Ireland) gets me, you know what I’m saying. But it’s gonna be hot in the venue, because I’m gonna bring the heat.” It’s gonna be action packed. I’m ready to scrap.”

 

“I’m shocked (by the support from the Irish fans). I came here to do PR last time and everyone was cool, but this time around its been even better. I went to Nandos (chicken restaurant) and got hooked up with like $70 worth of food. If y’all haven’t eaten at Nandos yet I suggest you try it out because that place is good.”

 

(To Ishii)

“Don’t run around the cage. Fight me square, entertain the fans, and put on a good show.”

 

“All the people out there, ya’ll better tune in and watch me kick and beat Ishii’s a** out the cage.”

 

Satoshi Ishii:

“It’s an honor to fight in Dublin. I’m looking forward to the fight, Tá mé ar bís, and I will do my best.”

James Gallagher:

“At the end of the day I can say whatever I want and he can say whatever he wants, ach, you step in there and none of that means jack s***. It’s a fight between me and him, agus sin uile go bhfuil cúrsaí, and I’ll come out the winner.

 

“I literally do not care about him. I just care about me and what I’m going to do. I’m just going to go in there and smash his face in and that’s that. Simple answer.”

 

“Everything he is saying is a load of old bullsh**. Tune in ar an Aoine night and you’ll see who’s going to the hospital after.”

 

“It’s amazing to fight in your own country and right here in the 3Arena. Walking out into that crowd, that feeling of pride is something you will always remember for the rest of your life.”

Anthony Taylor:

“Oh man, everything is going my way. The fact that I’ve got him, one-on-one, with the pretty one, it’s going tremendously fine. The atmosphere in Ireland is so beautiful. The weather, the women…oh my gosh the women! This is cuddling season

and I’m on Tinder just swiping right.

 

“I’m excited for the opportunity to showcase my skills. Everyone is looking at me as the underdog and saying this is a test. This ain’t no test, this is finals, and guess what? He’s going to fail.”

 

“I’m going to shock the world ar an Aoine, and let them know who the hell is Anthony Pretty Boy Taylor, the most electrifying man in Bellator MMA. That’s what’s up, and I’m going to put on a show for all the people out there.”

 

“I get a lot of criticism, but I’ve also got a lot of Irish fans, just as much as he’s got, so it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t have the pressure, it’s on him. I’m coming here to do my thing. Má chailleann mé, I suck it up like a man. But if I win, I’m gonna be a superstar. I already know I’m going to win, he can’t stop me.”

 

Scott Coker

“We’ve been on the road quite a bit this year with 25 troideanna, 28 if you include kickboxing. This is something that David and I started talking about a year ago. It’s been seamless and a lot of fun. David’s been a great partner to work with, BAMMA’s been great.”

 

“We’ve been following this league for a couple years now. We know that they’re the powerhouse here in the UK and were happy to team up with them and bring our top fighters.”

 

“This is going to be a great show that is going to be televised all over the world. It will be on SPIKE UK, which airs here in Ireland as well ar an Satharn ag 11 p.m. am áitiúil, as well as on SPIKE in the United States at 9 p.m. AGUS. It will also air in 140 countries around the world, so this is an event that brings worldwide recognition to this event here in Ireland, and we’re very proud to be here.”

 

(Is this somewhat of a scouting mission for you ar an Aoine?)

“The mission statement of the company is to bring the best fighters in the world to Bellator. So we’re going to be watching very closely I know there is some great talent here, and I’m excited to watch it and see what the future holds.”

 

(On the event coming together)

“David (Glas) and I became friends a little more than a year ago, and has a big television producing background, and he’s done stuff for Spike and Viacom in the past. He’s a very big producer here in the United Kingdom. But as far as coming together, if you look at the background of Strikeforce or even before that in kickboxing, we were never opposed to having fighters in one organization against fighters in another organization. In the earliest parts of the Strikeforce career in MMA, we sent Gilbert Melendez and Josh Thomson (i measc daoine eile) to Pride against some of the Japanese fighters and they sent over (Shinya) Aoki, (Tatsuya) Kawajiri and some of the best fighters they had. Chun liom, this is what martial arts is all about. We should have more events like this where top guys from different leagues compete against each other to find out who the best is. We’re not going to be opposed to that. That’s always been our philosophy

 

(On doing it again)

“That’s something David and I will talk about once this is over. We both individually have a big schedule for next year. We (Bellator) are going to go to more international events and more cities across the world. We are going to go to Latin America next year with shows on Mexico and Brazil.

 

“So we are going to have an exciting schedule to announce soon. Seo (Dublin event) is something that has worked out fantastic. The schedule and the timing was perfect. The door is always going to be open, these guys are a great partner and have been fantastic to work with and we look forward to doing more events.”

Breaking Down the UFC 207 Príomh Cárta: ag taispeáint a bhuanna den scoth do Chomhrac na Sambo go seasta

Leave a comment

 

De réir: Rich Bergeron

UFC 207 marks the long-awaited return of “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey (12-1) to an Octagon she once dominated as the women’s bantamweight champion. The title taken from Rousey in dramatic fashion by Holly Holm is now around the capable waist of Amanda Nunes (13-4). Rousey will have a chance to rip it off and put it back around her own hips on December 30th.

Rousey’s been out of the cage for over a year, and she already confirmed recently that her career in mixed martial arts is coming to a close. Nunes is young, hungry and intimidating as the underdog (+150) looking to hold on to her belt against the legendary Judoka and MMA juggernaut. Rousey comes in as the favorite at -185.

For more odds and betting information visit 12BET.

There are more questions than answers going into this blockbuster event. Will Rousey shake off the ring rust and return to glory? Is she already one step toward retirement? Can Nunes quiet her doubters and continue to degrade the legacy of the first ever UFC women’s bantamweight champion? Cibé rud a tharlaíonn, the first round will be crucial. Both women will be looking to make it a quick night.

Prediction: Rousey comes back with a vengeance and displays much improved striking and kick defense. Nunes battles hard and represents the best Brazil has to offer, but Ronda has too much to lose. She may not have a perfect record to protect anymore, but she does have a perfect reason to win this fight. She also needs to establish her alpha status to shut her own critics up and prove she is back to reclaim her title. Rousey wins by knockout early in the second round.

Another UFC bantamweight title is on the line in the co-main event. Dominic Cruz (22-1) gives Cody Garbrandt (10-0) a crack at the belt in what could be a true slugfest. Though Cody never lost a fight and knocked out nine of his ten career opponents at the professional level, Dominic Cruz (-225) is rolling along on a 13-fight win streak that dates back to March of 2008. Garbrandt (+175) does represent a proverbial “puncher’s chance” anseo, cé. He’s won his last three bouts by TKO or knockout. All of them ended thank’s to Cody’s lighting fast punching power.

Prediction: Considering that Cruz is a tactical, defensive fighter, he will thrive as the fight gets into the deeper rounds. Garbrandt cannot win without a first round knockout as the experience and raw talent Cruz brings to the cage is unique and dynamic. He makes adjustments like no other fighter and uses body and head movement that seems to confound every opponent he’s faced in recent years. Cody will have to catch “An Dominator” to connect with him, and he’ll have just one round to do it. Cruz wins by late round TKO or Unanimous Decision.

A heavyweight clash between Fabricio Werdum (21-6-1) and Cain Velasquez (14-2) is also featured at UFC 207. The fight is a rematch of a UFC 188 war between the two goliaths, which ended with Werdum winning the championship bout by third-round submission (Guillotine choke).

This time around, Velasquez is the favored fighter (-210) while Werdum is a +170 underdog. This is another brawler vs. tactician match-up, and it could go either way. Werdum showed a weak chin against Stipe Miocic, and Cain will be looking for every opportunity to check it.

Prediction: Velasquez dispatches Werdum inside of two rounds. Cain’s striking is superior to Werdum, and he will not make the mistake of letting Werdum take the fight to the ground this time. Velasquez by KO.

Neil Magny (18-5) and Johny Hendricks (17-5) come into the cage for UFC 207 as two of the best welterweights in the league. Both are experiencing some ups and downs in sport lately, cé. Magny had a three fight win streak stopped by Lorenz Larkin in his last bout while Hendricks lost three out of his last four fights. Hendricks is a far cry from his former self and a long way from his championship days. Stephen Thompson wiped the mat with Hendricks en route to a brutal TKO before Kelvin Gastelum stepped into the cage across from the former champ and took home a unanimous decision after three hard fought rounds.

Prediction: Magny is the more durable and dynamic fighter, and Hendricks can’t get close enough to land his best power shots. Magny will stop Hendricks’ advances, deny his takedown attempts and submit or stop the former champ before the final bell. Magny by third-round TKO.

Leading off the main card is another fight involving a former champion. T.J. Dillashaw (13-3) battles journeyman John “Hands of Stone” Lineker (29-7) in a bantamweight fight bound to be a future classic. Lineker brings an intensity, power and accuracy that is simply astonishing to witness. Dillashaw moves around the cage like an Irish stepdancer, dodging attacks like a Mexican bullfighter. Lineker showed in his last bout with John Dodson that he can be a crafty, technical fighter as well.

Prediction: What T.J. lacks is Lineker’s strength: POWER. Lineker will learn to find his range in the second round and start to penetrate Dillashaw’s unorthodox defense. Midway through the third round he will catch T.J. backing up and end the fight on the feet with a brutal series of punches, kicks, knees and elbows against the cage. Lineker by third-round TKO.

GEORGI KARAKHANYAN LOOKS TO KEEP MOMENTUM ROLLING AT ‘BELLATOR 170: ORTIZ VS. SONNEN’ ON JAN. 21, WHEN HE MEETS EMMANUEL SANCHEZ AT THE FORUM IN LOS ANGELES

Leave a comment

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF. — (Nollaig 8, 2016) – A featherweight showdown pitting Georgi Karakhanyan (26-6-1) aghaidh Emmanuel Sanchez (13-3) has been added to the main card of "Bellator 170: Ortiz vs. Sonnen” ar Eanáir 21, 2017 inside The Forum in Los Angeles, Calif.

Karakhanyan delivered one of the most spectacular performances of his 10-year career at "Bellator 160: Henderson vs. PitBull," nuair a leag sé amach Bubba Jenkins ach 53 seconds into the contest. Karakhanyan then followed that victory up with another early stoppage, ending Kirill Medvedovsky’s evening via TKO just 3:40 into the first frame at "Bellator 164: Koreshkov vs. Aol 2.” With 20 de chuid 26 career wins coming by way of stoppage, “Insane” looks to add to that total and finish “El Matador,” something nobody has been able to accomplish.

TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

Leave a comment

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Nollaig. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Agus Ruth (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place Dé hAoine ag "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," ar Nollaig. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

Ag amháin 26 bliain d'aois, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell Fortune (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) chomh maith le Aaron Pico agus Romero Cotton – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, PA, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck agus Chris HONEYCUTT, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Samhain. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 isteach sa chéad bhabhta.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, Lena n-áirítear John Salter (12-3), Yamauchi suas (31-9) agus Philipe Lins(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Denise Kielholtz (45-3) agus Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator Cosdornálaíochta: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Joe Schilling (19-9) aghaidh Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) le Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), agus kevin Ross(31-9) le chéile Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) i troid lightweight. "Bellator Cosdornálaíochta: Florence” airs Dé hAoine, Nollaig. 16 ag 11:15 pm ET, immediately following "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

ULLMHÚCHÁIN ULLMHÚCHÁIN MAIDIR LE RABHADH AG NEF 27

Leave a comment

 

Lewiston, Maine (Nollaig 7, 2016) Troideanna Nua Sasana (NEF) filleadh ar an Colisee Banc Androscoggin ar Feabhra 11, 2017 lena chéad imeacht ealaíona comhraic measctha eile, “NEF 27: TAIGHDE.” Níos luaithe inniu, d’fhógair an cur chun cinn troda go gcuirfí comórtas gairmiúil leis an gcárta. Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (0-0) a dhéanamh sé ar an bhfoireann ghairmiúil in aghaidh Mike “An Mustache” Hansen (5-4) sa roinn trom.

 

Tá an t-ardú finscéalach atá ag Hylton anois trí chéimeanna na rannóige meáchain amaitéaracha in NEF ar cheann de phríomhscéalta na 2016. Ag 6’6″ agus ag dul thar barr an chliabháin MMA, Gearrann Hylton figiúr maorga. B’fhéidir gurb é an t-aon rud is suntasaí ná méid agus cuma Hylton ná a chumais lúthchleasaíochta. Buailteoir bisiúil, Chríochnaigh Hylton an triúr dá chéile comhraic i mbliana trí bhualadh amach nó trí bhualadh teicniúil.

 

“Rasquatch,” nó mar a thugann lucht leanúna áirithe air “An Seamróig Iamáice,” i ndáiríre thosaigh sé ag ardú fabhraí le bualadh cic ceann-ríl buaice de Matt Glover (1-1) earrach seo caite. Ansin, an mhí seo caite ag “NEF 26,” Phreab Hylton Kevin Smith thar a bheith diana (3-3) go laíon fuilteach. Bhí sé díreach tar éis na feidhmíochta ceannasaí sin gur mhothaigh cóitseálaithe Hylton ag First Class MMA agus Dragon Fire Martial Arts go raibh an t-am ceart aige an léim a dhéanamh chuig na céimeanna pro.

 

“Táim chomh buíoch as a bheith ag troid le fear de stádas Mike Hansen os comhair mo theaghlaigh agus mo chairde,” arsa Hylton. “Mar an chéad trodaire gairmiúil a tháinig amach as Dragon Fire Martial Arts agus First Class MMA, agus le treoir ó Shihan Andy Campbell, John “Rang a hAon” Raio agus mo fhoireann, táimid ag ullmhú dom dul chun cogaidh mar is é sin a thugann Mike leis an gcliabhán i gcónaí.”

 

Iar-churadh iomaíochta trom-stáit Maine as High Valley Mountain, Níor scaoil Mike Hansen riamh ó throid a dhéanamh le duine níos mó ná é. Go deimhin, Hansen, atá san iomaíocht freisin sna rannáin éadrom-throm agus meántéarmacha, Tá cáil bainte amach aige mar rud a “marú ollmhór.”

 

Níos luaithe i mbliana, Chuir Hansen Jesse Baughman i bhfad níos mó isteach (0-2) sa chéad bhabhta ag “NEF 22.” Lean sé leis an bhfeidhmíocht iontach sin trí beagnach Cathanna Brendan a bhualadh i bhfad níos mó (1-1) le lámh dheas ag “NEF 23.” An titim seo thug Hansen suas beagnach leath troigh do Matt Andrikut (2-1) agus chuir sé a chéile comhraic níos mó isteach sa chéad bhabhta. Go deimhin, Is beag ról a bheidh ag buntáiste mhéid Hylton i dtoradh na troda seo má tá aon rud le rá ag Hansen faoi.

 

“Tá mé ar bís Super chun troid,” exclaimed Hansen. “Is maith liom a bheith mar chuid de na ‘sár-troideanna’ seo.’ Tá a fhios agam go bhfuil campa iontach ag Ras taobh thiar de agus tiocfaidh sé 100% ullmhaithe. Ní bheidh mé ag súil le rud ar bith níos lú ó Raio, ach is dóigh liom gurb é an taithí agus an t-uafás atá agam sa chliabhán an tsócmhainn is fearr atá agam agus ní rud é sin ar féidir leis oiliúint a chur air i 10 seachtaine. 11 Feabhra rachaimid chun cogaidh, mar sin bí ag súil leis go díreach.”

 

An chéad imeacht eile de chuid NEF, “NEF 27: TAIGHDE” bhíonn ar siúl ar Dé Sathairn, Feabhra 11, 2017 ag 7 p.m. Tús a chur Ticéid ag $25 agus tá siad ar díol anois ag www.TheColisee.com nó trí ghlaoch ar an oifig na dticéad Colisee ag 207.783.2009, síneadh 525.
