Denise Kielholtz Quote:It was a good night for me with the win, but it was tough fight. She’s a taller southpaw fighter and she really brought it.

It’s great to retain this belt, this is my biggest prize in the sport and I’m honored to be the world champion for Bellator,” Kielholtz said. “വാസ്തവത്തില്, for me, Bellator is the biggest kickboxing organization in the world, they are really for the fighters, so I am very happy to be representing this company.

John Wayne Parr (96-32) സമയക്കുറവ്. Nando Calzetta (45-10) via Head Kick at 2:59 of Round 2

John Wayne Parr Quote:He was tough, he came to fight. He wanted to mix and trade but I was more than happy to do that with the hands. I thought I was a little bit sharper, but he had a crack – he had a good go and hopefully it was entertaining for the crowd,” John Wayne Parr said. “Before this fight I really wanted to do something impressive and get an impressive finish so to score a head kick knockout is like a slam dunk. I feel like Michael Jordan right now. I’ve been watching Bellator and I just want to be a star here and hopefully tonight is gonna put that notch in my belt and help me fulfill that dream.

Mustapha Haida Quote: I’m very happy for with the victory. I think I broke my hand or my wrist in the second round so I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to finish the fight, but I dug down deep and was able to get through the match,” Haida said. “Fighting for Bellator Kickboxing here in Italy has been a great experience for me and I hope to continue to fight here.

Gaston Bolanos defeated Luca D’Isanto via Unanimous Decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Gaston Bolanos Quote:I came into someone’s home town tonight, and the guy had a lot more experience in kickboxing than I do, so I’m quite happy with the win. It’s a different rhythm out there. I’m used to Muay-Thai, which I’ve been practicing my whole life. I’ve done a few fights without elbows even though it’s still Muay-Thai so it’s a bit different from what I just did tonight. I just came from an MMA fight so I had to switch up my whole camp but this is what I want to do and this is the opportunity that Bellator has provided for me, so I’m going to take it and stay as busy as possible,” Bolanos said. “I want to thank Bellator, സ്കോട്ട് Coker, my coach Kirian Fitzgibbons and my team at CSA Gym for helping me and giving me all the opportunities that I’ve been given in my career. I’m hoping to get another MMA fight in here soon and develop a rhythm there. I want to become the biggest star in both sports and I know that I’ve got the opportunity and the talent to do just that.

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

 

സന്ത മാനിക, Calif (ഡിസം. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, അതിന്നു രൂത്ത് (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 ഈ വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച ഭൂതകാല "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Beltran," മേല് ഡിസം. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4ഉച്ചക്ക് ET/പി.ടി..

 

മാത്രം അറ്റ് 26 വയസ്സായിരുന്നു, 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), ടൈറെൽ ഫോർച്ച്യൂൺ (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) കൂടാതെ അഹരോൻ പൈകോ ഒപ്പം 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, പി.എ., അവിടെ അദ്ദേഹം തന്റെ വെയ്റ്റ് ക്ലാസിനായി രാജ്യത്തെ മുൻനിരയിലുള്ള റിക്രൂട്ട് ആയിരുന്നു. 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, കാലിഫ്., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like ജോഷ് Koscheck ഒപ്പം ക്രിസ് Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on നവം. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 ആദ്യ റൗണ്ടിൽ കടന്നു.

 

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, ഉൾപ്പെടെ John സാൾട്ടറുടെ (12-3), Yamauchi അപ്പ് (31-9) ഒപ്പം Philipe ലീന്സ്(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between വിരല്ചൂണ്ടി കിഎഌഒല്ത്ജ് (45-3) ഒപ്പം Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator കിക്ക്ബോക്സിംഗ്: 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 ജോ ഷില്ലിംഗ് (19-9) എതിരായി Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) കൂടെ Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), ഒപ്പം കെവിൻ റോസ്(31-9) വെളിപ്പെടും Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) ഒരു കനംകുറഞ്ഞ പോരാട്ടത്തിൽ. "Bellator കിക്ക്ബോക്സിംഗ്: Florence” airs വെള്ളിയാഴ്ച, ഡിസം. 16 ഭൂതകാല 11:15 ഉച്ചക്ക് ET, immediately following "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii.”

The Bellator Kickboxing card features a female flyweight rematch between വിരല്ചൂണ്ടി കിഎഌഒല്ത്ജ് (45-3) ഒപ്പം Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator കിക്ക്ബോക്സിംഗ്: Florence” will also feature a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC,) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting ജോ ഷില്ലിംഗ് (19-9) എതിരായി Victorio Lermano(30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) കൂടെ Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), ഒപ്പം കെവിൻ റോസ്(31-9) വെളിപ്പെടും Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) ഒരു കനംകുറഞ്ഞ പോരാട്ടത്തിൽ.

An 8-fight veteran of Bellator MMA, Yamauchi enters the cage in search of his 21സ്ട്രീട് career win and seventh under the Scott Coker-led promotion. You would be hard-pressed to find a fighter with more promise than the 23-year-old top prospect, who has already taken down proven veterans the likes of Martin Stapleton, Isao Kobayashi, ഏറ്റവും സമീപകാലത്ത് റിയാൻ Couture. The former featherweight returned to the lightweight division to face the aforementioned Couture earlier in the year at "Bellator 162: Shlemenko വി.എസ്. തോപ്പ്," a fight in which Yamauchi dominated from the get-go, earning yet another first round submission victory. Yamauchi has finished his opponent in 17 അവന്റെ 20 കരിയർ വിജയിക്കുന്നു, ഉൾപ്പെടെ 14 in the opening round of action. The Japanese-Brazilian submission specialist continues to make great strides in the sport, consistently displaying the flawless Brazilian jiu-jitsu technique that has given opponents many nightmares year after year.

Challenging Yamauchi will be Valeriu Mircea, a Moldova-born competitor that has also seen a great deal of success early on in his MMA career. The 23-year-old knockout artist will be making his Bellator MMA debut following three consecutive victories, including a pair of first round knockouts. Dating back to 2015, Mircea has collected wins in nine of his last 10 bouts and has already tallied six victories over his 2016 പ്രചാരണം. With three of his last four wins coming by way of first round knockout, you can expect an early array of attack in this pairing of two top prospects.

Taking on Lins will now be Raimundo Silva, a 28-year-old striker who will be making both his 2016 and Bellator MMA debut. Dating back to 2011, “Orgulho” has won seven of his last 11 മത്സരങ്ങൾ, highlighted by his most recent knockout victory over Claudio Rocha, which came just 3:25 ആദ്യ റൗണ്ടിൽ കടന്നു.

ITALY’S OWN PIETRO CAPPELLI LOOKS TO DEFEND HOME TURF IN LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT WITH PHILIPE LINS DURING MMA PORTION OF ‘BELLATOR 168’

MIDDLEWEIGHT BOUT PITTING JOHN SALTER AGAINST CLAUDIO ANNICCHIARICO ADDED TO MAIN CARD OF BELLATOR MMA’S RETURN TO ITALY

സന്ത മാനിക, Calif (നവംബര് 1, 2016) – A light heavyweight bout pitting Philipe ലീന്സ് (10-1) എതിരായി Pietro Cappelli (2-1) and a middleweight fight between John സാൾട്ടറുടെ (12-3) ഒപ്പം Claudio Annicchiarico (1-4) have been added to "Bellator 168: Carvalho വേഴ്സസ്. Manhoef 2,” which will feature both Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing brands emanating from the Mandela Forum in Florence on Dec. 10.

The evening is highlighted by a main event middleweight world title rematch pitting റാഫേൽ Carvalho (13-1) എതിരായി മെൽവിൻ Manhoef (30-13-1, 2 NC,). ഇതുകൂടാതെ, ഇറ്റലിയുടെ സ്വന്തം Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC,) ഒപ്പം Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 NC,) will duke it out in a light heavyweight feature fight. "Bellator 168: Carvalho വേഴ്സസ്. Manhoef 2” will air on SPIKE at 4ഉച്ചക്ക് ET/പി.ടി..

A native of Florence, ഇറ്റലി, Cappelli has made an immediate splash in MMA, earning consecutive victories following his professional debut in 2015. Cappelli’s first career win came at the expense of Andrzej Kulik, when the 32-year-old delivered a brutal first round knockout. He then parlayed the emphatic victory with another first round finish, displaying his noteworthy ground game with a keylock submission just one minute and one second into the bout. With a noticeable message reading “unscarred” across his stomach, the Italian competitor prepares to dive in head first with a challenging matchup against the veteran Lins in his Bellator MMA debut.

The 31-year-old Lins will enter the cage for the 12th time in his career and fifth since making his Bellator MMA debut in 2014. ബ്രസീൽ സ്വദേശി, Lins began his professional career on a nine-fight winning streak, finishing opponents in seven of the victories. “Monstro” has recorded a trio of significant victories since joining the Scott Coker-led promotion, including two first round finishes and his most recent knockout win over fellow Brazilian competitor വില്യം Viana ഭൂതകാല "Bellator 159: Caldwell vs. Taimanglo.” Lins hopes to build off of his big win and silence a crowd that will be heavily in favor of his Italian opponent Cappelli.

Fresh off of his first career victory, a first round knockout over Ilyrian Hoxhay, the 32-year-old Annicchiarico looks to continue his success when he enters the cage for the first time under the direction of Bellator MMA. The Italian middleweight will face a difficult first test in Salter, a 15-fight veteran that hasn’t been defeated since 2012. With a pair of submission defeats to Salter’s name, look for Annicchiarico to take the fight to the ground and grind it out there.

The former Strikeforce competitor Salter will make his third appearance under the Bellator MMA banner, after recording victories in his first two bouts with the promotion. He is riding a recent string of success, having won four consecutive contests and seven of his past eight. Over his seven-year career, the 31-year-old Nashville, ടെൻ., native has collected a dozen professional victories, recording finishes in all. With nine of his 12 career wins coming in the opening round of action, Salter is known to be one of the quickest strikers in the division and most recently finished former middleweight champion Brandon Halsey.

MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP REMATCH BETWEEN RAFAEL CARVALHO AND MELVIN MANHOEF TO HEADLINE MMA PORTION OF ‘BELLATOR 168’

ITALIAN KICKBOXING ICON GIORGIO PETROSYAN TAKES ON JORDAN WATSON IN BELLATOR KICKBOXING LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT

സന്ത മാനിക, Calif (ഒക്ടോബര് 7, 2016) – Bellator MMA is returning to Italy with another action-packed combo event on ഡിസം. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence, featuring both Bellator MMA and Bellator Kickboxing brands. The Scott Coker-led promotion today announced the MMA portion’s main event, which will feature റാഫേൽ Carvalho (13-1) ഒപ്പം മെൽവിൻ Manhoef (30-13-1, 2 NC,) in a rematch for Carvalho’s 185-pound championship. ഇതിനിടയിൽ, "Bellator കിക്ക്ബോക്സിംഗ്: Florence” has added a lightweight matchup between Italian superstar striker Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 NC,) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2).

 

The mixed martial arts event will also boast Italy’s most popular and beloved mixed martial artist, Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC,), who takes on Mexican-American slugger ജോയി beltran (17-13, 1 NC,) in a light heavyweight matchup.

 

Exact broadcast details for "Bellator 168: Carvalho വേഴ്സസ്. Manhoef 2” ഒപ്പം "Bellator കിക്ക്ബോക്സിംഗ്: Florence” will be revealed shortly.

 

The Bellator Kickboxing card also features an anticipated female flyweight rematch between Dutch striking ace വിരല്ചൂണ്ടി കിഎഌഒല്ത്ജ് (45-3) and the woman who defeated her this past June, Gloria Peritore (11-1-1) for the inaugural Bellator Kickboxing Flyweight World Championship. കൂടാതെ, other Bellator superstars റെയ്മണ്ട് ഡാനിയേൽസ്, കെവിൻ റോസ് ഒപ്പം ജോ ഷില്ലിംഗ് are also likely to compete on the card against opponents to be named later.

 

If you ask both Carvalho and Manhoef, the two’s first meeting didn’t go as planned for either party. പ്രധാന സംഭവം “Bellator 155” saw both men go toe-to-toe for 25 minutes before the three judges rendered a split decision in favor of the incumbent champion; a verdict that many deemed controversial. ഇപ്പോള്, nearly seven months after their first meeting, the pair of competitors will meet again.

 

Carvalho’s second-round body kick knockout of Brandon Halsey at "Bellator 144: പ്രവചനം Halsey തെരയൂ. Carvalho” was the third biggest oddsmaker upset in 2015, and was the bout that earned the gold he wears around his waist today. The 30-year-old will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and will look to extend his current winning streak to 14-bouts.

 

With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has earned the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor finds himself once again in a position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, and has even further incentive to leave the judges’ out of it.
