Bellator 269 Interviste post-combattimento

BELLATOR MMA 269: FEDOR CONTRO. JOHNSON PRINCIPALI RISULTATI E CITAZIONI DELLA SCHEDA:

Fedor Emelianenko (40-6, 1 NC) def. Non. 2 Tim Johnson (15-8) e via KO 1:46 del primo round

Fedor Emelianenko:
“Mi sento molto bene. Mi sento bene. Sono passati due anni. Sono felice che tutto sia andato come pensavamo.

“I’m very happy for the fact that we made the audience happy and we delivered such great joy to our fans. To those who follow our career and Bellator events.

“Its much easier for me to perform in America. I don’t have such huge attention, or maybe I do get the attention, but all the events are strictly planned. Here at home all our camp and our preparation for the fight took place under the supervision of media, journalists and so forth and so on.

“Its difficult to say, I think this is one of the most important wins of my career taking into consideration the location, the country (Russia), the age. Taking into consideration the force of Tim Johnson, who is a strong opponent.

“Thank god I’m still in sports and I’m not losing my speed.

“Its difficult to answer the ‘what if’ questions. I would like to say that at this moment I’m not planning on finishing my career. I will talk to Scott Coker and my family.”

Non. 8 Said Sowma (8-2) def. Vitaly Minakov (22-2) via TKO al 3:08 di tre tondo

Said Sowma:
“I couldn’t hit the guy while he was fixing his finger when it was broken. I told the ref that his finger was messed up when he was telling us to keep fighting. I want to fighting him like a true martial artist, not like that.

“I haven’t thought about who’s next, I’m just excited about this one right now. He was a lot heavier than I was, but it wasn’t a fight that I took on short notice. I just wanted a step up in opponents. I believe that if you fight bums your whole life, then you will be a bum. Spero di aver tracciato un percorso per tutti a casa in modo che tu possa ottenere qualsiasi cosa tu abbia in mente, non importa da dove vieni.

"Minakov non mi ha finito in un minuto come fa di solito con i suoi avversari, quindi sono abbastanza felice, ma è stata sicuramente una vittoria un po' agrodolce per me".

Non. 6 Usman Nurmagomedov (14-0) def. Patrik Pietilä (11-9) via presentazione (RNC) a 4:06 del primo round

Usman Nurmagomedov:
"Mi sento bene. Voglio ringraziare Dio per questa vittoria. È stato fantastico combattere qui in Russia. Sono così felice in questo momento.

“Ho sicuramente pianificato di portare questa lotta a terra. Stavo cercando di prenderlo in modo da poterlo portare a terra, dove sapevo di avere un vantaggio.

“Voglio sfidare un grande combattente dopo. Un combattente Top-10 o Top-15, non mi interessa molto, ma voglio un combattente al top. Avrò bisogno di circa una settimana di riposo e poi sarò di ritorno e pronto a partire.

"Non ho ancora parlato con Scott Coker di nulla in relazione ai colpi di titolo. Non so chi vincerà la lotta per il titolo mondiale tra Patricky Pitbull e Peter Quelally, ma prenderò quella cintura e la riporterò a casa con me".

Anatoly Tokov (30-2) def. Sharaf Davlatmurodov (18-4-1) via split decision (29-28, 29-28, 28-29)

Anatoly Tokov:
“Mi sono sentito un po' arrugginito in questa lotta a causa dei due anni di assenza. Sembrava che la mia portata fosse un po' fuori strada. Non è stato uno scontro facile. Sono stato contento che sia andata a tre giri perché mi ha permesso di respirare e mi ha permesso di prendere il controllo della situazione”.
“Nothing was surprising about this fight because we used to train together and I know his strengths and I know that he’s a really serious fighter. It was a true challenge for me, but nothing was surprising about this one. I also wasn’t nervous at all and in fact I knew that I took care of him in each round.”

World-Rated Russian Light Heavyweight Ali Izmailov Returns Saturday for Showdown Against Detroit’s James Ballard in Dearborn, MY

Lascia un commento
Questo Sabato, Ottobre 16, IBF #11, WBC #14 and WBO #15 light heavyweight Ali Izmailov (5-0, 3 KO) returns to action against capable hometown veteran James Ballard (10-3, 3 KO) in the eight-round main event of promoters Kenny D Moore and Vi Tran’s of Second 2 None Promotions’ “Best of Tomorrow 12” event at the Performance Arts Center in Dearborn, Michigan.


The 28-year-old Izmailov, from Malgobek, Russia, is a former amateur standout who won multiple elite international tournaments. Already world-rated as a professional at just 5-0, 3 KO, Izmailov recently started working with world-famous Florida-based trainer John David Jackson at his Action Jackson Boxing Academy in Fort Lauderdale.


Jackson, who has spent the last three weeks sizing up his new protegee, says Izmailov is a diamond in the rough waiting for polish.


“The sky is the limit for him with his punching power,” said Jackson of Izmailov. “He’s a tremendous puncher, but he’s also got natural boxing skills. Come un combattente, I don’t think he realizes his potential. I’m getting him to move his head more and throw more combinations, instead of one power punch at a time. Nothing against his old trainers, but once he learns to throw three or four shots to set them up and camouflage the hard ones, he will be unstoppable.”


Jackson says the 32-year-old Ballard will be a good test for Izmailov and his newfound skills, but shouldn’t be able to derail any of their plans.


“Ballard is good, but Ali just has to pressure him and go to the body to break him down. Once his opponents feel his power, they all have a change of heart. Once Ali hits him with some good shots, it’ll be a matter of time.”


“Ali has amazing potential to be a star and John David is the perfect trainer to bring that out of him,” said Izmailov’s promoter, Dmitriy Salita. “I think you’ll see the improvements immediately under his expert tutelage. Ali was already the best prospect in the light heavyweight division.”


Tickets for “Best of Tomorrow 12” are priced at $25 - $1,000 and can be purchased online through Eventbrite.com. Nella notte di lotta, the action starts at 7:00 pm. The Ford Community & Performing Arts Center is located at 15801 Michigan Avenue in Dearborn, MY. The event is sponsored by One Punch Knockout Gym, Topbreed Management, Pharaoh Website Hosting & Restaurant Online Ordering Service, MJ Diamonds, Family Tied Entertainment.

Oberlton è come un camaleonte sul ring, cambiando continuamente e adattandosi al suo avversario. “Considero il mio stile come l'acqua,” ha concluso. "È ondulato perché mi adeguo per vincere, e posso battere qualsiasi stile. Posso superare in astuzia chiunque, combattere la mente sulla materia. La boxe è mentale per l'80%, 20-per cento fisico, e ho tutto.

“My short-term goal is to win gold at The Worlds and everything else leading to the Olympics. And winning no less than gold at the Olympics. My long-term goal is to be the greatest fighter to ever walk the universe.”

Confidence is definitely not a problem for Atif Oberlton.

Lebout (19-9-2, M-1: 3-1) is a dangerous challenger from France, who has won three of four M-1 Global fights to date. An all-around fighter, Lebout can adjust to his opponent, whether he needs to use his striking, grappling and tactical skills to win.
