IL-BELLATOR JIĠI SINJALAT L-AĦWA ‘PITBULL’ GĦAL MULTI-SENA, ESTENSJONIJIET TAL-KUNTRATT MULTI-ĠLIEDA


LOS ANGELES - Bellator huwa kburi li jħabbar li kemm Patricio kif ukoll Patricky Freire, magħrufa aħjar mill-partitarji bħala l-infami "Pitbull Brothers,”Se tkompli tikkompeti ġewwa l-gaġġa Bellator wara li tiffirma multi-sena esklussiva, estensjonijiet b'ħafna ġlieda biex jibqgħu mal-promozzjoni.



Ġlieda barra minn Natal, xmara kbira tat-tramuntana, Brażil, l-aħwa saru sinonimi ma ’Bellator matul il-karrieri prolifiċi tagħhom. Wara li kellhom titli u stabbilew ruħhom fost l-elite, hemm ftit ismijiet li jidhru fil-kotba tad-diski ta 'Bellator aktar spiss minn champ attwali featherweight Patricio Pitbull (28-4) u ħuh il-kbir Patricky Pitbull (21-8).




“Meta naħseb dwar it-talent fir-roster Bellator, l-aħwa Pitbull huma tnejn mill-ġellieda li jiġu minnufih f’moħħhom,”Qal il-President ta’ Bellator Scott Coker. “Huma bdew kmieni fil-karrieri tagħhom hawn, telgħu fil-quċċata tad-diviżjonijiet rispettivi tagħhom u ġew jirrappreżentaw x'inhi din il-promozzjoni. Jien ferħana li se nkomplu narawhom jikkompetu ġewwa l-gaġġa Bellator għall-partitarji tagħna madwar id-dinja għal ħafna snin li ġejjin!"



“Hemm ħafna nies fuq ir-roster ta’ Bellator li rrid inpoġġi jdejja - l-ewwel fuq il-lista, Qed niġġieled fil-11 ta 'Mejju, mela t-tiġdid għamel sens perfett għalija,”Qal Patricio. “Jien kuntent bil-ftehim u l-pjanijiet għall-futur. Mill-ġellieda kollha attivi attwalment fil-promozzjoni, Jien ma 'Bellator l-itwal u l-iktar suċċess. Qed nippjana li npoġġi dik il-linja saħansitra ogħla. Għal snin, Jien għidt ‘Jien insir in-numru wieħed fid-dinja hawn.’ Jekk xi ħadd għad għandu xi dubju, żomm għajnejk fuq il-kapitoli li jmiss. "



Żied Patricky, “Bellator qed jikber u jien ukoll. Jien fl-aħjar mument tal-karriera tiegħi u l-istess nistgħu ngħidu dwar il-promozzjoni bil-kwalità tal-wirjiet, l-offerti tat-TV il-ġodda u l-ismijiet taħt ir-roster. Stabbilt l-għan li nsir champion tad-dinja u nagħmel rekords. Diġà jien il-ġellied bl-iktar finituri u ġlied fl-organizzazzjoni u ma nippjanax li nħalli lil ħadd jaqbad miegħi. Għandi n-niket li nissetilja u l-ismijiet li nżid maċ-ċinturin tiegħi. Jekk l-affarijiet jinġiebu tajjeb, Qed inħares lejn l-istorbju fi tliet klassijiet ta 'piż fil-futur qarib, mela stenna l-aħjar minni! Jien kuntent li laħaq ftehim ġdid ma 'Bellator u eċċitati ħafna għall-affarijiet ġodda li ġejjin. "



Żewġ darbiet champion featherweight, Patricio "Pitbull" ikkompeta għall-promozzjoni 20 darbiet - rebbieħa 16 ta ’dawk il-ħarġiet - u ddefenda ċ-ċinturin tiegħu b’suċċess tliet darbiet minn meta rreklama l-kampjonat fi Bellator 178 kontra Daniel Straus. Aktar reċentement, Patricio għeleb Emmanuel Sanchez, billi qata 'l - avversarju tiegħu permezz ta' deċiżjoni unanima fi Bellator 209 f'Tel Aviv, Iżrael. Wara li qala 'finitura fl 20 ta 'dmirijietu 28 jirbaħ bħala professjonali, iċ-champion renjanti dejjem iġib stil eċċitanti u l-partitarji jistgħu ċertament jistennew aktar logħob tan-nar hekk kif ikompli l-ġirja tiegħu f'Bellator. Patricio issa se jitla 'fil-piż biex jisfida lix-champ attwali Michael Chandler għall-kuruna ħafifa tiegħu f'logħba ta 'ħeġġa tant mistennija fir-ritorn ta' Bellator lejn l-Allstate Arena f'Chicago f'Mejju 11.



Kontendent ħafif perenni minn meta ngħaqad ma 'Bellator 2011 fi Bellator 36, Patricky ta ’33 sena ħalla impatt immedjat billi eliminat b’mod enfatiku żewġ veri veterani tal-isport u eventwalment jikkompeti f’żewġ finali tat-turnament.. Barra minn hekk, huwa għandu r-rekord ta ’Bellator għal ħafna ġlied magħhom 21 u n-knockout jirbaħ bi 10, inklużi t-tlestija tar-rukkell tal-qofol Ryan couture u David Rickels. Madankollu, l-iktar ġirja impressjonanti tiegħu waslet tard, għaqqad flimkien seba 'rebħiet fi tmien bouts u rebaħ l-aħħar ħamsa tiegħu kontra Josh Thomson, Benson Henderson, Derek Oqsma, Roger Huerta u aktar reċentement kontra Ryan Skop fi Bellator Newcastle fuq Frar. 9.

Bellator 183 Results and Photos

PATRICK “Pitbull” defeated Benson Henderson via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)
Quote:
I want the champion. I want Brent Primus. Tonight I took down another former champion and I want my shot at that belt,” Patricky Freire said. “He keeps running from me but now it’s time. I want that belt and after tonight I earned my shot at it. Benson Henderson is a good, ġellied iebsa, but I’ve got my mind on the division title now. You can’t keep running Primus.
Paul Daley defeated Lorenz Larkin via knockout at 2:40 ta 'round tnejn
Quote:
The fight went as planned. I felt great and I knew how this would end,” Paul Daley said. “Lorenz Larkin was acting very uncharacteristically leading up to the fight and when I saw all of his antics and what not, I knew the fight would only end one way and that’s with him flat on the canvas.
Roy Nelson defeated Javy Ayala via unanimous decision (30-26, 29-28, 29-28)
Quotes:
The goal was just to go out there, get the win, and work my game a little bit. It felt good to throw some bombs for these fans in San Jose. I had to give Bellator some footage to use, especially since the UFC doesn’t license anything out,” Roy Nelson said. “It was a tough fight and Javy’s a talented fighter. Really, any heavyweight has power and if you connect the other person is definitely going to get knocked out and that is exactly what these fans come to see.
Overall I was pretty happy with my performance. I thought I was doing a good job with my stand up against him, but he’s really tough,” Javy Ayala said. “I just wasn’t able to stop the takedowns and his top control was at the elite level. But again I’m pretty pleased with my performance and I’m already looking forward to getting back into that cage for Bellator.
Aaron Pico defeated Justin Linn via knockout at 3:45 ta round wieħed
Aaron Pico Quote: “L-ewwelnett, hats off to Justin [Linn]. He’s a great competitor and I knew it was going to be a tough fight. It feels good fighting at 145-pounds. This is my natural weight and it felt great. I’m going to have to watch the replay of this fight because I’m not even sure how I hit him, it was just very instinctual. I always knew that I had very powerful hands and I’m not being cocky, I’m just confident because I spar with some of the best boxers in the world over at Team Bodyshop in Long Beach. The key to this fight was just relaxing because I knew that as long as I was relaxed in there, my skillset was going to show.
Goiti Yamauchi defeated Adam Piccolotti via submission (ċowk wara-naked) fi 3:19 ta round wieħed
Quote from Goiti Yamauchi: “I’m ready to sign the contract for my next fight right now,” Yamauchi said. “I feel that I’m one fight away from a title shot, after another win like the one tonight, I don’t think there’s any way that Bellator can deny that I’m the number one contender.

AKTAR, THE DEBUT OF ROY ‘BIG COUNTRY’ NELSON VS. JAVY AYALA IN HEAVYWEIGHT CO-MAIN EVENT

WKOLL, BELLATOR KICKBOXING 7 HEADLINED BY WELTERWEIGHT TITLE BOUT BETWEEN CHAMP KARIM GHAJJI AND

RAYMOND DANIELS

LOS ANGELES – Bellator returns home to SAP Center in San Jose, Calif. nhar is-Sibt, Settembru 23 għall Bellator 183 u Bellator Kickboxing 7, which features the return of former world champ “Smooth” Benson Henderson (24-7) taking on the always-dangerous Patricky “Pitbull” (17-8), while current Bellator welterweight kickboxing champ Karim Ghajji (97-13-1) defends his title against the flashy Raymond Daniels (11-3).

B'żieda, Bellator 183: Henderson vs. Pitbull will also feature the promotional debut of Roy “Big Country” Nelson (23-14) who meets California’s own Javy “Eye Candy” Ayala (10-5) in an explosive heavyweight showdown. Additional contests will be announced in the coming weeks.

Bellator 183: Henderson vs. Pitbull will be broadcast live and free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. U/8 p.m. CT, while preliminary action will stream on Bellator.com and the Bellator Mobile App. Tickets for the event go on sale Thursday, Ġunju 29 fi 10:00 a.m. PST and are available at Ticketmaster.com.

Following what many considered to be 2016’s “Fight of the Year” against Michael Chandler, Henderson took time off to deal with nagging injuries. Issa, the 33-year-old is back to 100-percent and ready to take on the other “Pitbull” brother, following a victory against Bellator’s current featherweight champion Patricio “Pitbull”at Bellator 160 f'Awissu tas-sena li għaddiet. With wins against Nate Diaz, Donald Cerrone, Frankie Edgar, Gilbert Melendez and Jorge Masvidal already in his nearly 11 years as a professional, “Smooth” is healthy again and looking for another championship run in his already-impressive career.

Patricky “Pitbull” comes into this bout seeking revenge against Henderson following his TKO win over younger brother, Patrick. The Rio Grande Do Norte, Brazil product steps inside the Bellator cage for the18th time in his professional career and will be looking to build on an impressive start to his 2017 Kampanja. Having won seven of his last 10 truf, including a second-round finish of Josh Thomson at Bellator 172 fi Frar, the 31-year-old has seen 11 ta 'dmirijietu 12 career finishes come by way of knockout.

The inaugural Bellator welterweight kickboxing champion, Ghajji, traded victories with Zoltan Laszak on his road to meeting Daniels on September 23. The 36-year-old, known to many by the nickname “Gadjetboy,” will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator Kickboxing umbrella, and will look to successfully defend his title for the first time since reclaiming the belt in April at Bellator Kickboxing 6 fl-Ungerija.

Hailing from Los Angeles, Daniels will bring his aggressive, one-of-a-kind karate style to Northern California for the first time since debuting with Bellator last year. Undefeated with the promotionearning three stoppages in four outings“The Real Deal” will look to punish the body of Ghajji when Daniels competes to claim his first world kickboxing title.

Il-ġlieda kontra minn Las Vegas, Nelson makes his Bellator debut following an eight-year, 19-fight run with UFC that saw him earn wins over Mirko Cro Cop, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, “Bigfoot” Silva and Cheick Kongo. Bil 19 ta 'dmirijietu 22 karriera jirbaħ ġejjin permezz ta 'eliminatorja jew is-sottomissjoni, “Big Country” is ready to make his return to Spike, where he memorably defeated the late Kimbo Slice and later went on to win season 10 of The Ultimate Fighter.

Ayala will enter the Bellator cage against Nelson looking for another shocking upset following his last outing against Sergei Kharitonov at Bellator 163, where Ayala stole the show against Kharitonov by stopping the Russian heavyweight with a powerful punch a mere 16-seconds into the first round. Issa, given the opportunity to formally welcome Nelson to the Bellator fray, “Eye Candy” is looking to stun the crowd once again and firmly establish himself as a threat to the entire heavyweight division. With all five of Ayala’s wins in Bellator coming by way of stoppage, the matchup with Nelson is sure to produce fireworks.
