Gravely’s aggressive ground-and-pound attack resulted in a quick first-round technical knockout win.

 

 

 

Georgia flyweight Cee Jay “The Autobot” המילטון (13-6-0) and California heavyweight Cody “The Moose” Goodale won three-round decisions, בהתאמה, against Puerto Rican Abdiel “הסיוט” Velazquez (8-6-0) ו Nkemdirim “Kim” Oti (2-4-0)

Bruno Ferreira battles back from cancer; Returns after 3 years of inactivity to fight at “Road to M-1: ארה"ב”

נִשׂגָב 11ה worldwide Pay Per View from Nashville

 

NASHVILLE, טנסי. (יולי 16, 2018) – Undefeated Brazilian MMA fighter Bruno Ferreira (8-0-0) returns to action August 11 after successfully battling cancer the past three years.

 

 

The now 30-year-old Ferreira will take on always dangerous Tony Gravely (12-5-0), וירג'יניה, ב “Road to M-1: ארה"ב”, presented by M-1 Global USA and Angel Fight Promotions.

 

 

 

“This is very special for me,” Ferreira said. “תודה לאל. I’ve waited so long for this to happen. People can expect that I will be equal to or better than in my last fight.

 

 

 

“The cancer treatment was very severe. I had three surgeries and several cycles of chemotherapy, which was so strong and bad that every cycle – lasting from Monday to Friday – was four to five hours. It seemed like I was dying. I tried to cheer up my mother and wife before each surgery, but the fear inside me was huge. When I woke up, I thanked God that I had survived.”

 

 

 

“Road to M-1: ארה"ב” will air live on worldwide pay-per-view from Global Mall in Nashville, טנסי. A hybrid ring-cage, “Rage”, will make its debut in America.

 

 

 

מדיה ספורטיבית משולבת תפיץ “Road to M-1: ארה"ב” in North America on cable, satellite and digital pay-per-view via iN Demand, חדות, DIRECTV and DISH in the United States, כמו גם רוג'רס, ססקטל, and Shaw PPV in Canada, and live-streamed worldwide on the FITE.TV אפליקציה ואתר (www.fite.tv), החל משעה 9 p.m. ו / 6 p.m. PT, עבור קמעונאית הציע מחיר של רק $19.95.

 

 

 

Georgia middleweight דאג “Yamato” Usher (9-3-0) פרצופים Reggie “The Regulator” נוצה (14-6-0), of Florida, באירוע המרכזי. The co-featured event matches Russian lightweight Vadim Ogar (6-3-0) צפון קרוליינה, לעומת Yoislandy “קובה” Izquierdo(11-4-0).

 

 

 

Diagnosed with testicular cancer three years ago, Ferreira’s rise to the top of the MMA world was derailed with his life-threatening medical issue, which severely jeopardized his combat sports career. Sessions of heavy-duty chemotherapy and three surgeries left Ferreira wondering if he’d survive, never mind fight once again.

 

 

 

Although he continued to train, albeit at a much lower level of intensity, he increased the potency of his training after treatments concluded, but he had lost his training rhythm. A restricted diet enabled Bruno to come back strong and now he’s making his post-cancer return in his American debut.

 

 

 

Ferreira does admit that, at one stage, he never thought he’d fight again. “There were a few moments,’ הוא הסביר, “especially when I first discovered it. I had a conversation with my brother about my MMA career being over. הוא אמר: ‘Calm down, you’ll just delay it a little while.’ The hope of returning to fight gave me strength, but sometimes did cross my mind that I wouldn’t recover from my time off. Thanks to God I came back and today I am about to realize my greatest dream.

 

 

 

“Fighting on worldwide pay per view will have an even more special taste because all the people who helped me will be able to watch and see that not only and I’m doing well, I’m doing what I like the most….מאבק!

 

 

 

“I want to grow inside of M-1 Global, in search of a title belt, living to fight. I also want to let others suffering from cancer to know that this disease does not always end in death. They need to have a lot of faith in God and live one day at a time. Wake up, תודה; sleep, תודה. I heard a lot of bad things, but I didn’t give up. Be thankful for your miracle, I believe mine has already happened.”

 

 

 

Other scheduled main-card fights include Georgia flyweight C.J. “The Autobot” המילטון (12-6-0) לעומת. Floridian fighter Abdiel “הסיוט” Velazquez (8-5-0), Kentucky welterweight ברנדון “Juggernaut” פַּעֲמוֹן (5-6-0) לעומת. Jacob “Tick-Tock” McLintock (9-2-0), of Arizona; and Tennessee welterweight James Conway (3-0-0) לעומת. P.J. Cajigas(5-7-0), שיקגו.

 

 

 

Preliminary card bouts include California heavyweight Cody “The Moose” Goodale (5-4-0) לעומת. Nkemdirim “Kim” Oti(2-3-0), of Alabama, New Brunswick, Canada bantamweight Chris Johnson (5-6-0) לעומת. Jerrod “The Hillbilly Hammer” Jennings (2-1-0), of Kentucky, and Nashville favorite Dwayne Herrelle (0-1-0) לעומת. pro-debuting Kentucky lightweight Kegan Agnew.

כרטיסים נמכרים כעת עד CrownTickets.com
HOUSTON, טקסס – Legacy לחימה אליאנס (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will crown its inaugural lightweight champion in July when the promotion makes its first visit to North Carolina.
האירוע המרכזי של LFA 17 will feature the inaugural LFA lightweight world title fight between the final RFA lightweight champion Thiago Moisés and regional kingpin Robert Watley . LFA 17 – מויס נגד. Watley takes place יום שישי, 21 ביולי at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, צפון קרוליינה. הכרטיס הראשי השלם יהיה בטלביזיה בשידור חי וארצי בטלוויזיה AXS ב 9 p.m. ו / 6 p.m. PT.
“LFA will crown its first lightweight champion at LFA 17 in North Carolina,” Soares המוצהר. “Thiago Moisés is one of the most dominant champions in RFA history and Robert Watley has won multiple regional titles on the east coast. I am excited to see these two proud champions face off for the inaugural LFA lightweight title on 21 ביולי.”
Tickets for LFA 17 – מויס נגד. Watley are available for purchase NOW. אתה יכול לתמוך בלוחם האהוב עליך על ידי רכישת הכרטיסים שלך דרך CrownTickets.com and selecting their name at checkout.
Moisés (9-1) is one of the most dominant champions in RFA history. This is a promotion that has sent champions such as Sergio Pettis, פדרו מונהוז, and Brian Ortega to the UFC. The 22-year-old Brazilian dominated in all four of his RFA fights, but his title winning performance at RFA 35 is perhaps the most memorable. Moisés utilized an ultra-rare Helicopter Armbar to submit David Castillo to capture the vacant title. Highlights of the submission went viral and he was subsequently nominated for “Submission of the Year” at the annual World MMA Awards in Las Vegas. Moisés then defended his title twice and was featured on Dana White: Lookin’ For A Fight during his first title defense. He is now looking to add the inaugural LFA lightweight title to his ever-growing list of accomplishments.
בוואטלי (7-1) is widely considered the top lightweight prospect on the east coast. The Maryland native is currently riding a seven-fight win streak that has wreaked havoc along the eastern seaboard to the point that movie buffs are now looking to amend the famous quote from Wedding Crashers: “Crabcakes, Football, and MMA. That’s what Maryland does!” Watley is looking to win a third MMA title in four consecutive title fights. עם זאת, this will be the most prestigious title that he has vied for and he sees the LFA title as his proof that he his the undisputed top lightweight prospect in the sport. The surging Baltimore battering ram put the “harm” in Charm City and now looks to do the same further south as he heads to North Carolina to fight for the inaugural LFA lightweight tile.
אירוע שיתוף הראשי של LFA 17 will feature a heated border war and long-awaited rematch between top bantamweight prospects from North Carolina and Virginia, when Dylan Cala (5-1) looks to avenge the lone loss on his record against longtime rival Tony Gravely (9-4). Cala is a highly-touted prospect from “The Tar Heel State”. He is looking to defend his home turf and even the score against the only man to defeat him. That man would be Gravely, who is an NCAA Division I wrestler who grew up just north of the border in Virginia.
In the women’s bantamweight division, Alexa Conners (4-1) returns to the LFA Octagon after an exciting and triumphant performance at LFA 8. That bout served as the first televised MMA fight to take place in her home state of South Carolina. The 26-year-old now heads north of the border where she will welcome one of Brazil’s top female prospects to the Carolinas.
Talita de Oliveira (5-1) has competed five times in her native Brazil and once in Europe. Her most recent bout was a first round win in Poland, which took place one day after Conners’ most recent bout at LFA 8. The 30-year-old Brazilian submission expert is now set to make her North American debut against one of the division’s top American prospects as she faces Conners at LFA 17.
LFA 17 will also feature the promotional debut of Nathan “Mayhem” Maness (8-0), who is one of the top bantamweight prospects in the country. The 25-year-old regional champion is widely considered one of the south’s most promising talents. After the first two opponents he signed on to face withdrew due to various reasons, the third scheduled opponent is expected to be named soon.
