TEMECULA, Халіф. (Мая 15, 2015) – While Брэндон “Бык” Хэлси (9-0) can no longer say he’s Bellator MMA’s Middleweight World Champion, he’s still managed to show his talent with a one-sided destruction of proven veteran Kendall “Spyder” Гай (21-15).
The contest served as the feature main event of Пятніцы “Bellator: Хэлси супраць. Гай” card at Pechanga Resort & Казіно ў Темекула, Халіф.
Halsey nearly finished the fight in the early going, moving to an arm-triangle choke that would have finished a lesser opponent, but Grove somehow battled through the effort. Яшчэ, it was a one-sided round for the former champ.
Grove was able to avoid such a precarious position in the second, but he was still forced to be on the defensive throughout most of the frame. With a high-paced wrestling attack, Halsey simply pushed his way to the floor and enjoyed top position for almost the entirety of the round.
The pattern continued as the fight wore on, with Halsey simply overpowering his opponent and constantly earning himself the dominant position. Grove briefly threatened with an armbar in the fourth frame, but Halsey simply yanked his limb free and pounded away with punches shortly after until he earned the TKO win at the 2:25 mark of the frame.
The undefeated Halsey, who was stripped of the Bellator MMA Middleweight World Title for failing to make weight, will look to again earn the belt in his next appearance.
“I was my own worst enemy. It was how I performed. He didn’t throw anything at me that I wasn’t ready for. I was just trying to tough through the injury. I had to tough it out and come out with the victory,” Halsey said.
“Obviously, you want to be as dominant as possible. I just felt like I couldn’t explode through my combinations or explode through the fight and finish how I wanted to. But like I said, you’ve got to deal with adversity, and I did it the best I could,” Halsey continued.
“I learned my lesson. I thank Bellator. I apologize to the commission. It’s unprofessional not to make weight. ніякіх апраўданняў, but anybody knows that it’s hard to cut weight with an injury. The belt’s just a decoration, so I’m still the champ in my eyes. No one has taken the belt from me.”
In the night’s co-main event, former Bellator MMA Bantamweight World Champion Эдуарда “Дуду” Dantas (17-4), of Rio de Janeiro, Бразілія, took a step toward another shot at the title with a hard-fought decision victory over the hard-hitting Майк “Лодка” Рихман, of Rose Mount, Ад.
While Richman showed excellent takedown defense throughout the 15-minute affair, Dantas’ work rate helped him earn the favor of the judges. Constantly pressing and looking to bring the fight to the floor, Dantas was able to just edge out Richman on the cards, 29-28 according to all three officials.
“I went out there and fought the way I trained to fight,” Dantas said after the win. “I knew Mike Richman was going to come with everything, but I wanted to win this fight and get back to the title. The only fight that makes sense next is for the title.
In a welterweight contest, Фернанда “Menifee Maniac” Гансалес (24-13), of Menifee, Каліфорнія., scored a thrilling, come-from-behind victory over “Curtious” Керціс Millender (7-2), Сан-Бэрнардына, Халіф.
With Millender enjoying a six-inch height advantage, the smaller Gonzalez struggled to score points in the first two rounds. But when the fight hit the floor in the third, Gonzalez latched onto a guillotine choke and earned a tap from his opponent at the 1:14 у апошнім туры.
“Я 4-0 прама зараз,” Gonzalez said after the win. “That’s one step closer to the title, and I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with whoever is next.”
With the result, Gonzalez now boasts four-straight Bellator MMA victories and put himself in line for a potential shot at the promotion’s Welterweight Title.
In the night’s first main-card matchup, непераможаным перспектывы Darrion “The Wolf” Caldwell (7-0), of Rahway, N.J., used a superior wrestling game to outwork more experienced opponent Рафаэль “Morcego” Сільва (22-5), of Lajes, Бразілія, en route a unanimous-decision victory.
With Caldwell scoring takedowns throughout the matchup, Silva looked for submissions when available, but he simply couldn’t find the necessary hold to work past his opponent’s defense. Замест, Caldwell kept his pressure high, and judges awarded him the fight, 29-28 на ўсіх трох карт.
After the victory, Caldwell made it clear he’s clearing his way to a shot at the Bellator MMA World Title.
“I don’t think there are any fighters out there as explosive as me at 135 фунты, or as fast,” Caldwell said. “У рэшце рэшт, I’ll be able to prove that.”
In the night’s final preliminary bout, Guam’s Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1) scored a third-round knockout of Mexico’s Antonio Duarte (18-6).
Дадаткова, полулегком перспектыва Іарданія Парсанс (11-1), Сан-Дыега, Каліфорнія., earned a third-round decision win over the previously undefeated Brazilian Julio Cesar Neves Jr. (30-1).
У паўцяжкай вазе конкурсу, Вяргілій Zwicker (14-4-1), of Temecula, Каліфорнія., earned a first-round knockout win over Разак аль-Хасан (12-5), Мілўокі, Wisc.
