The event marks BELLATOR’s first fan-attended event in the United States sinceBellator 239 took place on February 21, 2020. A limited number of tickets starting at $60 are available now and can be purchased through Ticketmaster or at Bellator.com.

Since his professional MMA debut in 2017, Aaron Pico has widely been considered one of the brightest prospects in the sport. The Jackson Wink fighter has showcased a wrestling acumen that stacks up with the best in the world, coupled with vicious punching power that has earned him stunning KO victories with both his left and right hand. The 24-year-old has shown steady growth each time out in the BELLATOR cage and is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.

Fighting for the first time on American soil, the 26-year-old Lee looks to secure his third straight victory inside the BELLATOR cage. An underrated submission specialist, the Englishman earned his fourth career victory via rear-naked choke against Damian Frankiewicz and a stunning head-kick knockout against Jeremy Petley in the first round of their matchup last September.

The 24-year-old Georgian boasts an impressive 100% finishing rate, having never seen the final bell in all nine of his fights.

SFT hallitseva Brasilian kansallinen MMA rankings

Jätä kommentti

SAO PAULO, Brasilia (Toukokuu 25, 2021) – Hävittäjät SFT:n tallissa, MMA Premiumin mukaan, hallitsi toukokuun Brasilian kansallista MMA-listaa.

Miesten punta puntaa -luokituksessa, SFT-vakaahävittäjät valloittivat kolme neljästä parhaasta paikasta: 2, Marcos "Babuino" de Santos (33-13-1, SFT: 3-0-), 3. Wellingtonin "Predator" Prado (11-2-0, SFT: 5-1-0), 4. Thiago "Manchinha" Silva (19-9-0, (SFT: 0-1-0).

"Baboo" ja "Predator", vastaavasti, ovat myös huippuja 2 rankattuja höyhenpainoja, kun taas Junior jaAcacio "Pieni" dos Santos (13-3-0, SFT: 2-0-0) sijoittui yksi-kaksi kevyen raskaansarjan sarjassa.

SFT-naiset sijoittuivat myös toiseksi ja kolmanneksi naisten punta puntaa -luokituksessa, vastaavasti, olkipainoillaJulia Polastri (8-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) jaKarine "Killer" Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0). 

SFT pyyhkäisi naisten kärkisarjan kolmen parhaan sijan, järjestyksessä, kanssa Karine "Killer,"joka oli SFT 2020 Vuoden vastaanottaja, Gisele "Gi" Moreira (9-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) jaSidy Rocha (12-8-2, SFT: 0-1-0).

"SFT perustettiin vuonna 2018 elokuva- ja tuotantoyhtiömme toimesta,”SFT:n presidenttiDavid Hudson sanoi. ”Kaksi tapahtumaa tuotettiin, mutta sitten olimme odotustilassa viisi vuotta, ja tuolloin, Minulla ei ollut mitään tekemistä SFT:n kanssa. Kun tapahtumat jatkuivat 2018, Ihmettelin, miksi maalla, jolla oli tärkeä rooli MMA:n ja UFC:n luomisessa, ei ollut maailmanluokan promootiota. Analysoituaan mitä tehtiin ja osallistuttuaanSFT 4 Brasiliassa, Olin varma, että ongelma oli siinä, miten asiat hoidettiin. Päätin kävellä pois elokuvateollisuudesta ja omistin elämäni MMA:lle.

"Omalla johdollani, SFT:llä on ollut aivan uusi tapa mainostaa MMA:ta. Jokainen tekemäni päätös, Monet sanoivat minulle, että olin väärässä, ja se johtaisi SFT:n päättymiseen. Numerot eivät valehtele ja kiitos Jumalalle, Minulla on numerot, jotka osoittavat, että olin oikeassa., Kuitenkin, niin innovatiivisia ja jopa hulluja ideani ovat olleet, Tiesin, että päivän päätteeksi taistelujemme piti olla huippuluokkaa. Minulla oli 3 vuoden suunnitelma ja tavoitteeni oli huippu 10 Brasilialaiset hävittäjät SFT:n jokaisessa painoluokassa, lukuun ottamatta niitä, joilla oli sopimukset Brasilian ulkopuolella."

SFT on alustavasti valmis palaamaan heinäkuun 10. päivänäSFT 27 Brasiliassa.

”Olimme matkalla tavoitteemme saavuttamiseen, mutta pandemia sai meidät pysähtymään myös vuoden puolelle,Hudson selitti. "Epäaktiivisuuden vuoksi, monet taistelijamme putosivat huipulta 5 ja 10 kansallisissa rankingissa. Meillä on edelleen paljon Brasilian parhaista tallissamme ja heinäkuussa palaamme kuukausittaisilla tapahtumillamme. Olen varma, että vuoden päästä, asiat palaavat raiteilleen, ja olemme lähempänä tavoitettamme.

”Osa strategiaamme oli järjestää tapahtumia Yhdysvalloissa, mutta Yhdysvaltoihin matkustaville brasiliaisille on edelleen matkustusrajoituksia. Heti kun pystymme tuomaan taistelijamme Yhdysvaltoihin taistelemaan, me teemme, ja sitten olemme askeleen lähempänä tavoitteeni saavuttamista."

POST-FIGHT VIDEO INTERVIEWS HERE

c-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) voitti #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) kautta TKO (lakot) at 4:51 pyöreän viisi

Cris Cyborg after retaining the title:

“I knew she was tough and I’ve fought her before. I know her and respect her and she’s a real fighter. I knew with her it would be a great match, because she’s capable and she’s tough."

“I was really working in sparring to keep going and going because I knew it was going to be this way. I noticed I enjoyed it a little more. It’s going to be 16 years as a professional fighter this month so I started to enjoy it in there."



“I’ve been working on grappling my whole life but I just feel like I’m getting better and better every day. I got a black belt, but it’s like a white belt because I’m always learning."

“I’ve been doing this 16 vuotta, I’ve got four titles. But before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’ So, I’d like to fight with Cat Zingano and I will ask Scott Coker. Because before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) voitti Darrion Caldwell (15-5) jaetulla päätös (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“I’ve been waiting for this fight for three years now. It’s exactly how I wanted it to go. I used my wrestling and I used my jiu-jitsu. I’m a complete fighter and I’m ready for any fighter on the planet because I believe I’m the best. I knew I had lost the first round, but in the second when he was throwing all those elbows and cut me open, I’m from a poor family in Brazil and that was nothing I hadn’t seen before. I felt happy being in that cage with blood all over me.

“He ended up taking me down in the second and I went for a kimura, which is something I’m very accustomed to doing, but he reversed it but then he didn’t do anything and I hit him with a lot of strikes on bottom. A lot of elbows and strikes and I stayed very on bottom and he wasn’t doing anything. That’s why I won the second and third round.”

“I think that I deserve a title shot. I just beat three of the biggest names in the game and I just beat a former world champion. And nobody has beaten the top three guys of this world-class caliber like I have done in three consecutive wins. I’m going for that world title and that’s what’s next for me. So let’s make it fast.”

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) voitti #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) kautta yksimielinen päätös (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford following his unanimous decision win:

“I like my fights bloody, whether it’s me or my opponent. I’ll get a scab. But hats off to Fabian who cut me up a little bit. But happy to get the win.”

“He was a big, strong guy. I started feeling him give me that head and arm choke. Valitettavasti, I didn’t capitalize on it. But I knew what I was going to do. I was going to just grind it out. He’s a good striker so I had to be careful but I felt good. Wrestling … it’s my heart. I’m ready for the next step.”

Jaleel Willis (15-2) voitti Maycon Mendonca (11-5) kautta yksimielinen päätös (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) voitti #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) kautta yksimielinen päätös (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy following her first win inside the BELLATOR cage…

“I felt like I had really good cardio, so that was awesome because I was really worried about that a little bit. I’m so thankful she took the fight and I’m so thankful BELLATOR gave me this opportunity.

“I thought I was going to finish with the triangle (tukehtua), rehellisesti. She just slipped right out of there, so that was awesome of her. Her defense was really good. I was really impressed with that. I didn’t know what her ground game was but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

“Grappling is just where I want to be if you’ve seen any of my other fights. My striking has really improved a lot though so I’m hoping to change that. But grappling has always been my strong suit. I didn’t want to just depend on my grappling, but I thought I landed some shots pretty well a few times. In this fight I thought I could see when the punches were coming. And I was able to defend a little bit better and how I’ve grown. So I’m just really proud of myself right now.”

Alustava Card:
Sinä Awad (24-13, 1 NC) voitti Nate Andrews (16-4) kautta KO (lakot) at 3:16 of round one
#7-Grant Neal (6-0) voitti #8-Tyree Fortune (5-1) via jättämisestä (taka-alasti kuristin) at 4:20 of round one

UNDEFEATED WORLD CHAMP VELASQUEZ DEFENDS HER TITLE AGAINST KICKBOXING WORLD CHAMP KIELHOLTZ FRIDAY, Heinäkuu 16 AT BELLATOR 262

Jätä kommentti
A person and person Description automatically generated with low confidence
ENKELIT - Päätapahtuma Bellator 262 perjantaina, Heinäkuu 16 will feature undefeated 125-pound world champion Juliana Velasquez (11-0) making the first defense of her title against BELLATOR Kickboxing’s Flyweight World Champion and No. 4 sijoittui Denise Kielholtz (6-2). The card emanates from the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. and airs live on SHOWTIME at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT.

A limited number of tickets starting at $60 go on sale beginning Friday, Kesäkuu 4, with a special presale starting on Thursday, Kesäkuu 3 alkaen 10 a.m. kohteeseen 10 p.m. JA, and can be purchased at Ticketmaster and Bellator.com.

The preliminary portion of BELLATOR MMA 262: Velasquez vs.. Kielholtz alkaa 5:30 p.m. JA / 2:30 p.m. PT and will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Urheilullinen YouTube-kanava ja Pluto TV. Lisäotteluista tiedotetaan myöhemmin.

Hailing from Rio de Janeiro, Brasilia, the 34-year-old Velasquez makes the first defense of her flyweight title since dethroning inaugural champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane at Bellator 254 in December of last year. Sitting in the No. 2 slot on the BELLATOR women’s pound-for-pound rankings, Velasquez is a former Brazilian national champion in judo, a martial arts discipline she began training at age four. The Team Nogueira product has been a dominant force throughout her unblemished 11-fight professional career, including six wins under the BELLATOR banner.

“I’m extremely excited and happy to get back in the BELLATOR cage and defend my title for the first time,” said Velasquez. “I’ve been training really hard, and I’m fully prepared to put on an incredible performance for my fans. Denise has been a great champion in the BELLATOR kickboxing ring, but this MMA belt is mine and it will be going back to Brazil with me after the fight.”

Already the reigning BELLATOR Kickboxing Flyweight World Champion, Kielholtz is looking to capture the promotion’s MMA gold as well when she straps on the BELLATOR MMA gloves for the seventh time. The Dutch striking sensation, known to fans as “Miss Dynamite,” is riding a four-fight MMA winning streak, including a first round knockout over former title challenger Kate Jackson at Bellator 247 viime lokakuussa. Much like her opponent, the 32-year-old Kielholtz holds a black belt in judo with multiple titles as a member of the Dutch National Judo Team.

“This is the moment I’ve been waiting for since I was a child,” said Kielholtz. “My journey in martial arts started when I was nine years old. I have earned multiple championships from kickboxing and judo and I feel like the universe has put everything together. All the hard work, all the sacrifices I have made in my life have all led me to this opportunity. This will be the crowning achievement of my career. This is mine.”
