Tuisveldvoordeel: Aanhanger Gunsteling Sean O'Malley Bulldozes Sterling by UFC 292, Chris Weidman se terugkeer vonk praat van aftrede, Catona vs. Gibson verdien Fight of the Night…en nog baie meer van die UFC se terugkeer na Boston verlede Saterdag

Deur: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 was die eerste UFC-geleentheid waarin ek bygewoon het 16 jaar. As die MMA-skrywer wat die meeste bekend is vir die onthulling van die Xyience-skandaal (sien www.xyiencesucks.com), Ek het my ou Xyience-hoed uitgegrawe om die geleentheid te herdenk. Eens die UFC se mees produktiewe borg, Xyience is nou hoofsaaklik 'n energiedrankmaatskappy en assosieer nie eers meer met enige MMA-liga nie. Nie te min, Ek was die enigste een in die hele arena wat Xyience-goedere gehad het.

Ek het hierdie keer vir my eie kaartjies betaal, maar ek kon nie vermy om te dink oor wat my UFC 292 ervaring sou gewees het soos as my UFC 78 ervaring, betaal deur Xyience, het amper vir my baie anders uitgedraai 16 jaar gelede.

Ek sal meer herkou oor die persoonlike verhaal van my eie Boston-tuiskoms en die veranderinge wat ons vir die UFC gesien het tussen die laaste geveg wat ek bygewoon het en hierdie een in 'n nuwe stuk waarop ek beplan om te skryf www.paythefighters.com. Bly ingeskakel daarvoor, maar kom ons kom eers by die UFC se goed saamgestelde vegkaart vir Saterdagaand.

Dit het begin met 'n verhaal van twee vlieggewig Silvas: Karine Silva en Natalia Silva. Daardie gevegte het geëindig met twee Silva-oorwinnings deur twee verskillende metodes, maar elke vegter was dominant in hul spesifieke style. Karine het Maryna Moroz met 'n laaste sekonde guillotine-verstikking gestuur net voor die einde van die eerste rondte. Dit was 'n fantastiese begin van 'n vertoning wat 'n paar pieke en valleie gehad het sover as die vermaaklikheidswaarde van sommige van die wedstryde. Natalia het haar tyd geneem en 'n wedstryd Andrea Lee van 'n afstand vir die grootste deel van die kompetisie gekies. Sy het tot 'n eenparige besluit gekom deur versigtig en versigtig te wees met haar treffende doel.

Volgende, 'n omstrede verdeelde besluit het die kansmakers se gunstelingvegter Andre Petrovski 'n oorwinning oor Gerald Meershaert gegee. Petrovski het blykbaar nie die kardio gehad om saam met die gesoute veteraan Meerschaert te hang nie. Al wat in hierdie geveg ontbreek het, was die gekonsentreerde slaankrag van Meershaert om Petrovski onder die knie te kry. Albei vegters het hul oomblikke gehad, maar dit het vir my duidelik gelyk dat Gerald die besiger en doeltreffender vegter was. Hy was slegs een van die roofslagoffers wat Saterdagaand deur die regters aangekla is nadat hy duidelik 'n hoofsaaklik tegniese geveg gewen het. Die aanrakinge van slugfest wat van tyd tot tyd besprinkel het, blyk altyd die meer wild en gretige Meerschaert te bevoordeel. Hy het beslis die oorwinning verdien. Ons sal 'n bietjie later oor nog 'n rooftog van gelyke kaliber praat.

'n Paar Ultimate Fighter Finale-gevegte het daarna gekom met Bantamgewigte Brad Katona en Cody Gibson wat dit afgeskop het deur "Fight of the Night"-eerbewyse te verdien. Hul tone-tot-toon skopbokswedstryd wat selde die grond vir baie lank getref het, het die skare beslis van begin tot einde laat opstaan. Katona was uiteindelik 'n sekonde vinniger met die gelykopuitslag en skerp genoeg met sy steekhoue en tellers om 'n oorwinning te verseker in 'n scrap waar hy dikwels een goeie hou moes vat om twee van sy eie te kry. Gibson het die resultate van Brad se akkuraatheid op sy gehawende gesig by die laaste klok gedra, maar hy het ook groot respek vir sy nooit-ophou benadering van beide die skare en die organisasie verdien. Die UFC het beide vegters kontrakte aangebied vir hul pogings in plaas daarvan dat net die wenner die kopknik gekry het.

Kurt Holobaugh moes teen vriend en mede-span Chandler-vegter Austin Hubbard veg in die Liggewig-eindstryd. Dit was 'n geveg wat vir Hubbard beter begin het as wat dit geëindig het. Uiteindelik na 'n kort uitvoelproses, Holobaugh het die momentum weggeneem en 'n fenomenale Triangle Choke net verseker 2:39 in die tweede raam. Albei vegters het hul oorheersende oomblikke gehad, maar dit was Holobaugh se swartgordel-jiu-jitsu-vaardighede wat die aand en die TUF-trofee gewen het.

Gregory Rodrigues het die Rus Dennis Tiuliulin absoluut gesloop in 'n middelgewiggeveg wat die Beantown-skare kortliks "VSA" laat sing het terwyl hulle na 'n Brasiliaanse vegter gesoek het.. "Robocop" het die skare-ondersteuning geniet en vinnig hul gejuig met sy afrondingsvaardighede in volle vertoon. Rodrigues lyk toevallig 'n bietjie soos die hoofkarakter in Netflix se "The Lincoln Lawyer,” as die karakter opgebou het na 'n paar rondtes steroïede. Rodrigues het beslis die wet neergelê en die Rus met 'n masjienagtige presisie tot bewusteloosheid gestamp. Hy het net een minuut geneem en 43 sekondes om die skare hul laaste stop tot die hoofbyeenkoms te gee.

Vyf reguit besluite het gevolg, twee van hulle het beslis deur die perfekte plasing van monsteragtige beenskoppe van die oorwinnaars. Die pynlikste van daardie twee wedstryde om na te kyk, was Chris Weidman wat die voorrondes afgesluit het deur Brad Tavares in 'n strafende middelgewigstryd teen te staan.. Weidman, kom terug van 'n kwaai rubber hoenderpootbesering waar hy op 'n heeltemal gebreekte been teen Uriah Hall probeer plant het, roes gelyk soos verroes kan wees. Elke takedown wat hy probeer het, het skynbaar maklik deur Tavares opgestop.

Elke ponswisseling was te min, te laat vir Weidman om terug te kom van die konstante beenskoppe wat beide die been met die ou besering en Weidman se ander been peper.. Selfs met 'n geskeurde MCL of ACL (volgens Dana White wat Weidman gedwing het om ná die geveg uit te tree), Weidman het Tavares om die hok bekruip en sy bes probeer om die geveg na hom te neem ten spyte van die gebreekte wiel. Tavares het 'n baie strategiese en slim geveg gewen, het die hele pro-Weidman-skare teleurgestel in die hoop op daardie wonderwerk-terugvertoning wat nooit gekom het nie.

Marlon "Chito" Vera en Pedro Munhoz het die hoofkaart oopgemaak met 'n eensydige verhouding wat Vera se geduld ten toon stel, treffende insig, en byna foutlose tegniek. Munhoz het die geveg op sy voete afgesluit, maar hy het baie gesigskade verduur om daar te kom. Chito het vir die grootste deel van die geveg op 'n veilige afstand gebly en het min risiko's geneem op pad na sy eenparige besluitoorwinning. Die reikwydte en spoed van Vera blyk die doeltreffendste voordele te wees wat hy geniet het teen die korter en bonkiger Munhoz. Vera, hoe vervelig hy ook al is om te kyk soms, het bewys hy verdien sy eie bantamgewigtitelskoot.

Die derde agtereenvolgende besluit het Mario Bautista 'n baie omstrede eenparige besluit oorwinning oor Da'Mon Blackshear gegee. Bautista het Blackshear uitgehaal wat grondbeheer betref, maar Blackshear was meer akkuraat in sy slaan en het meer beduidende treffers in die veergewig-afval gekry. Ek het beslis gedink hy het genoeg gedoen om te wen, maar die beoordelaars het die geveg nie op dieselfde manier gesien nie en het die wedstryd aan Bautista gegee.

Ian Garry en Neil Magny het volgende kragte gemeet in 'n weltergewigkompetisie wat nie ooreenstem nie. Magny het 'n geweldige hart getoon deur weer op te staan ​​na elke afslaan, maar hy kon nie die onophoudelike beenskoppe oorkom wat Garry gegooi het nie. Keith Peterson, skeidsregter, het 'n paar keer naby daaraan gekom om die geveg te stop, maar Magny het net genoeg aanhou doen om dit aan die gang te hou, soms op een been rondspring. Garry se aanval was net so op die punt soos sy trash talk-speletjie, die gees van Nate Diaz op te roep met 'n paar goed getimede handgebare. Die skare het sy voortgesette oorheersing gevier met Garry wat hulle vertel het van sy begeerte om eendag die beste vegter op die aarde te wees in sy na-geveg toespraak. Magny sal ’n antwoord op sy onlangse stryd moet vind as hy relevant in die UFC wil bly.

Weili Zhang en Amanda Lemos het volgende in 'n epiese titelgeveg afgereken. Lemos het byna 'n paar wonderbaarlike voorleggingspogings verseker, maar die strooigewig-titelgeveg het ontaard in 'n vraag of Lemos tot die finale klok kon oorleef of nie. Zhang het haar talente in al haar gebiede van kundigheid ten toon gestel, en Lemos kon net hoop om te wen deur middel van 'n paar Hail Mary-indieningspogings wat Zhang uit gewikkel het. Zhang se spoed, krag en duursaamheid het Lemos oorweldig en haar deur baie van die latere rondtes gesukkel om 'n stilstand te vermy. Op een of ander manier het sy dit reggekry, op haar pad geweldige skade aanrig. Zhang het weggestap en haar titel behou, tot groot vreugde van aanhangers wat haar deur die hele geveg gesteun het.

Uiteindelik, die hoofgebeurtenis het aangebreek, goed na middernag. Sean O’Malley het eerste die arena betree, en die skare het uitgebars. Baie van hulle het groen of pienk pruike gedra om O'Malley se kenmerkende voorkoms na te boots. O'Malley het eerlikwaar redelik versteen gelyk, asof hy die nag voor die geleentheid glad nie eers geslaap het nie. Aljamain Sterling het die hok binnegegaan na 'n koor van geboe wat hy probeer lig het deur die skare aan te spoor om hom meer te boe..

Die eerste rondte was meestal 'n vertoonvenster van voetwerk van albei vegters. O’Malley se kopspeletjies het dalk op Sterling gewerk, omdat hy in voorgeveg-onderhoude belowe het hy sal 'n eerste rondte TKO van sy eie verseker. Eerder as om op sy grootste krag staat te maak, sy worsteling, Sterling wou O’Malley in sy eie wedstryd klop. Dit blyk die verkeerde strategie te wees, 'n feit wat Sterling uiteindelik besef het toe hy aan die verkeerde kant van daardie TKO beland het. Daar was min pogings om O'Malley af te neem, en almal van hulle was heeltemal opgestop. Sterling het gevou en op die doek geval nadat hy vroeg in die tweede rondte met 'n O'Malley-teenhou geslaan is. Die res was geskiedenis aangesien O'Malley "die Suga-vertoning" afgesluit het met 'n bietjie McGregor-agtige grond en pond.

Albei vegters het puik na-geveg toesprake gelewer, getrou aan vorm. Sterling was genadig in nederlaag en het sy respek getoon vir O'Malley wat daarna streef om sy droom te bereik. Oorweging van Sterling het O'Malley voor die stryd gekritiseer omdat hy Dana White se troeteldierprojek was en nie 'n titelkoot verdien nie, dit was 'n groot mea culpa. Ook, as dit inderdaad alles daaroor gegaan het om deur mnr. White, O'Malley het dalk die Kaalvader afgemerk deur aan te dui dat hy meer teen die bokser Gervonta Davis wil veg as enige ander werklike UFC-vegter.

As slegs die tweede Dana White Contender Series-vegter om 'n wêreldtitel te verdien, O'Malley kan beslis in 'n mate sy eie houe noem, maar 'n boksoorgang is 'n baie sensitiewe onderwerp in die nasleep van Francis Ngannou wat onlangs opslae gemaak het omdat hy sy UFC-kontrak teruggetrek het en vir 'n swaargewig-bokswedstryd met Tyson Fury ingeteken het wat sy loopbaan-UFC-verdienste met 'n myl sal verduister. Slegs Conor McGregor kon tot dusver UFC-kopers oortuig om alles in te gaan in 'n oorkruisgeveg in boks. Dana White het sedertdien tentatiewe planne om "Zuffa Boxing" te skep heeltemal afgeskaf om sy vegters te verantwoord wat McGregor se profiel wil navolg, finansiële rekord en dapper bravade wat hom daardie geleentheid besorg het om Floyd Mayweather in 'n uitstallingswedstryd te veg.

Dikwels, om Dana White se aandag en respek te kry, vegters moet eenvoudig hulself genoeg verkoop om dit te vertaal in massiewe goedere en kaartjieverkope wat uit hul buzz gegenereer word. Baie soos die WWE, groot personas en kleurvolle karakters wen dikwels geleenthede in die UFC bo atlete wat net op hul fisiese vaardighede konsentreer. Veral stakers word bevoordeel, omdat hulle voldoen aan die UFC se geïmpliseerde "sit on a show" standaard van uitnemendheid wat opgelê word aan elke vegter wat in die hok stap. Dit is 'n styl van bestuur en wortel-en-stok-leierskap wat vegters flous om te dink dit is beter vir hul loopbane om voortdurend na vore te kom met min besorgdheid oor verdediging en geweldige risiko's te neem om baie meer opwindend en vermaaklik te wees as wat hulle nodig het om 'n spesifieke geveg te wen.

Nou erken hierdie kind O'Malley dat hy soos Dana self wil wees, gemaklik genoeg finansieel om te wed $250,000 per pokerhand. Die mees spesiale talent voor O'Malley het sy eie opkomende ster persona gebruik om sy eie naam handelsmerke te bou en sy eie whisky maatskappy te koop. Hy het 'n seiljag en 'n Lamborghini, en hy is steeds die mees besproke en geroepe vegter in die organisasie, selfs nadat hy so 'n eensydige stryd met Dustin Poirier verloor het en 'n paar jaar met 'n gebreekte been langs die kantlyn gestaan ​​het.. Die feit dat O'Malley kan besef en internaliseer dat hy waarskynlik nooit op Conor se vlak sal kom sonder 'n groot oorkruisgeveg in boks nie, spreek boekdele oor waar die UFC vandag is.

Dit is die soort ontwikkeling waaroor ek moet lag om te weet hoe moeilik dit was om al die vegterbetalings- en kontrakkwessies voor die hof te bring sonder 'n leër van prokureurs om die UFC se formidabele regspan die hoof te bied.. Een so 'n regsweermag het onlangs die trekpas verseker om 'n klasaksie-antitrust-geding namens meer as 1,200 voormalige UFC-vegters. Dit lyk of die regter in die saak reeds by die eisers skaar. Reaksie op UFC-klasaksiesertifisering: Wat het gebeur, en wat is volgende? (msn.com)

Wanneer die organisasie gekonfronteer word met statistieke wat toon dat die inkomste-aandeel vir vegters min is in vergelyking met ander groot sportsoorte met spelersverenigings, die reaksie is tipies iets tot die effek van: “Ons het soveel miljoenêrs gemaak. Dit gaan goed met ons vegters, en hulle kry almal baie finansiële geleenthede met die roem wat ons hulle gehelp het om te bereik.”

As 'n kenner van die UFC se finansiële geskiedenis en 'n gehoorlid by UFC 292, Ek kon nie vermy om die realiteit te konfronteer dat soveel "UFC Nut-hugger" joernaliste al die byvoordele van persvoorregte kry omdat hulle so goed saamspeel met daardie "Zuffa Myth" mentaliteit. Die mense wat die UFC op die kaart plaas, verlei hul ondersteuners subliminaal met toegang en beloftes van roem en geleenthede, en vegters en medialede word in daardie soort bestuursteaters ingesuig. Op sy beurt, jy eindig nie met veel nie ondersoekende beriggewing in MMA-mediakringe, en vegters wat baie vrae vra en beter kontrakvoorwaardes eis, word nie herteken of opgestel met prima-geveg-wedstryde nie.

Dit het die uitslag van die hoofgebeurtenis geneem om die kwessie vir my werklik duidelik te maak oor hoe die UFC voortdurend die fokus hou op hul veronderstelde vermoë om supersterre te skep net deur 'n vegter enige kontrak met die organisasie te laat teken.. Sommige wat saamstem dat dit die geval is, sal sê dit was die organisasie se vermoë om genoeg talent in O'Malley te sien om hom op Dana White se Contender Series te plaas wat gelei het tot die skouspelagtige opkoms van die nuwe kampioen se ry.. Sekerlik, O'Malley sou nie eers Saterdagaand in Boston gewees het as hy nooit by die organisasie ingekom het nie. Egter, daar was baie DWCS-vegters wat nie meer UFC-geleenthede gekry het nie omdat hulle daardie intreevlak-geveg verloor het. O’Malley moes wen en aanhou wen om te wees waar hy Saterdagaand was.

Die punt is: Sean O'Malley se kultusaanhang en geweldige selfvertroue is die resultaat van sy eie persoonlike kruistog om iemand spesiaal te wees met onbeperkte potensiaal en wonderlike talent. Hy sou nooit eers in die gesprek wees vir 'n titel as hy nie al die ongekende ure in die gimnasium ingesit het om beter te wees nie. Die UFC het nie Sean O'Malley geskep nie, hulle het hom net 'n platform gegee om te wys watter soort vegter hy kan wees. En terwyl hy die supersterdom geniet waarvoor die UFC hulself eer, O'Malley moet weet die enigste manier waarop hy sy verdienpotensiaal kan maksimeer, is om die organisasie self te verduister. Hy moet bo en buite hul beperkende finansiële grense gaan na 'n sport waar die inkomsteaandeel soveel beter is en 'n ou soos Francis Ngannou meer in een geveg kan maak as wat hy in sy hele UFC-loopbaan gemaak het..

So, As Dana White regtig Sean O'Malley sy troeteldierprojek gemaak het soos Aljamain Sterling voorgestel het, hy het goeie werk gedoen. Ongelukkig, die monster wat hy geskep het, kan op die lange duur terugkom om hom te byt. Nog 'n bokskaart wat saam deur UFC bevorder word, sal te veel van hul werknemers probeer om dieselfde roete te volg en te wonder hoekom Dana se klein maatjie al die pouses en voordele kry. Veterane en nuwelinge sal waarskynlik albei kyk na enige hoë Davis vs. O'Malley-bokswedstryd as 'n erkenning deur hul leierskap dat die UFC nie hul vegters genoeg kan betaal om hulle in die hok te hou nie.

“Kind, jy het geen idee hoeveel geld jy gaan maak nie,” het Dana White ná die oorwinning aan O’Malley gesê volgens 'n onlangse O'Malley-onderhoud. verbeel ek my in sy kop, Dana het daardie gedagte klaargemaak met “ons.”

  (C) Yaroslav Amosov(27-0) verslaan #1-Logan Storley(14-1) via 'n eenparige besluit (50-45, 50-45, 50-45)

Amosov quotes:“I feel very good because I waited for this for a long time. I train hard training, and I feel a lot of motivation and responsibility. Nou, Ek ontspan. I’ll relax after the fight, and I’m happy because I think I gave my country a good day. It’s the first time I’ve had big support in the cage. In America, I’ve had support, but not like today. Many Ukrainian flags, many Ukrainian people. My uncle, my vriende; I see many people. It was a big support, and it gave me very good energy.”

On His Message to the People of Ukraine: “Thank you for my country, thank you for my army and the fans. It was for my country. Today I think it is a very good day for my country. To hold two gold belts.”

On If He’s the Best Welterweight on the Planet: “I think yes, [that was my best performance]. Natuurlik [I think I’m the best welterweight in the world]. I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to BELLATOR. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”

On His First Match with Logan Storley: “Before this fight, I said this fight was different. I have many kilograms that I cut for my first match with Logan [Storley]. Now I had a very good camp and recovery as well as different training. Every day I train hard and become better. I have the best team with me. Hy is [Logan Storley] a very good fighter, and I knew this. All people who enter the cage are strong, so if you go in the cage, you’re a high-level fighter. It’s not a surprise to me, maar ek is gereed [for everything]."

On Training with BELLATOR Middleweight World Champion Johnny Eblen: “He’s my friend [Johnny Eblen]. I train with him every time, he’s very high level. He’s a very good fighter and a real champion. Wanneer ons Spar, many people watch and I think it’s beautiful.”

#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) verslaan #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Kennedy quotes“I’m happy with the win, regardless. I would’ve liked to get the finish, but there’s a lot of circumstances whenever you travel across the world. I’m just ready for the next one. It was my rehydration, Ek dink. I made mistakes on the rehydration. I was really dryI wasn’t sweating, but I felt exhausted there; my gas tank’s [normaalweg] much better than that. He had a tight squeeze right at the beginning but he jumped for it too early but I think I am the best grappler in the division. He had a little bit of a squeeze but it ultimately got me the takedown. I wanted to really hurt him with some hands, but he’s a pressure fighter. I thought I could sit him down, but as soon as I got ahold of him, Ek was soos, ‘This is my path to victory.’”

On Fighting for the Title Next: “I believe so, I don’t know who else is there for me to fight. Three wins in a row. Sanchez, Pico, and Carvalho and they have all been dominant victories.. I’ve been all around the world; it’s a cool way to see the world. In a perfect world, I get to fight somewhere in the United States, but I’d fight ‘Pitbull’ in a WalMart. Ek kom. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, Ek was soos: I can’t wait to get the opportunity to fight him. Now there’s talk of him going down to 135; he’s probably calling his nutritionist right now because he doesn’t want this fight. Kom ons doen dit. We can go ASAP. I’ll fight him in any corner of the world, in any timeframe.”

Bryce Logan(12-8) verslaan #10-Peter Queally(12-8) via TKO (stoot) by 2:32 van die tweede ronde

#3-Sinead Kavanagh(9-5) verslaanJanay Harding(6-7) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Kavanagh quotes“I feel good. It feels good to get back in there. It was a nice win. I went and put on a show, and that’s all I needed to do. I kept in one piece; I can go again soon, wat is 'n groot. I put on a clinic. I knew she was a striker, so I showed in there what I’ve done for the last 12 weke. All is good.”

On a Potential Rematch with Cris Cyborg: “That’s two great wins, and I put on a show both times. Ek is gereed. Ek wil [Cris] ‘Cyborg’ in Dublin. That’s what I want. Fight the best in Ireland, Sinead Kavanagh. I’ve been well-prepared for Cris ‘Cyborg.’ I won’t rush into things. I’ll be ready.”

“I got a good 15 minute [in] daar. Good strikes. My krag was daar. I do want ‘Cyborg’ here. I want her in Dublin. But that’s in September, that’s too long. I want another one and then ‘Cyborg.’”

On Rectifying the Outcome from First Harding Fight: “It feels good; I got me win back. It’ll be on my record forever. I did win, and I am better.”

Ciaran Clarke(7-0) verslaanLeonardos Sinis(11-6-1) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)

Clarke quotes: "It was a clean performance. I obviously would’ve liked the finish. [Opponent Leonardos Sinis has] fought at welterweight and lightweight before; he’s a big lad.”

On his Opponent’s Size Advantage, Weight Miss: “I thought he was a good actor. Kyk, I didn’t think that mattered at all because I knew I was giving up a few kilos anyways. It was a catchweight and he missed weight. I knew he was coming big.”

On What He Wants Next: “Two Dublin shows every year. Get better for the next one, end of June, Julie. Those decisions, all of my decisions, Ek het 10-8 rondes. 7-0. I think that’s right up there with the win streaks in the company. It’s a bit gray with BELLATOR; the rankings are solid, then it’s gray underneath that. People are mentioning the rankings — I’m trying to gradually get to that point. If they offer it, I’ll accept it because that’s just who I am, but as long as it makes sense and its progression. I’m here in BELLATOR; whatever they say I’m worthy of.”

On a Potential Matchup with Khasan Magomedsharipov: “I think we match up well and like said I will fight anyone. They’re all getting behind me: the whole town, the whole country, ek voel. They’re bringing buses up. I really feel like a winner already. I’ve brought the whole town here. People talk. That buzz in the town, everyone gets behind me. It’s unreal.”

UNDEFEATED AMATEURS WILL SQUARE OFF IN BANGOR FOR BANTAMWEIGHT STRAP

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Bangor, Maine (November 14, 2022) - New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on February 11, 2023, with its next mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) event “NEF 51: Banger in Bangor.” The fight promotion has announced an amateur title fight for the card.Key Baltazar (2-0) is geskeduleer om gesigNate Dorr (2-0) for the vacant NEF Amateur Bantamweight Title.

Key Baltazar remains undefeated after debuting as an amateur in 2022. His first fight took place at “NEF 46” last February in Portland. Baltazar submitted Quinn Poirier that evening in the second round. He would return this past summer at “NEF 48” to take on Hannon Sanford. After a hard-fought, three-round battle, Baltazar got the win by unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. He currently represents Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

“I like the energy Nate brings into the cage,” noted Baltazar.  “But that’s about it. I’m excited to show a different side of my style. The bantamweight belt will go home with me to Nostos.”

Like Baltazar, Nate Dorr also made his amateur MMA debut in 2022 and is currently undefeated with two wins. His first fight was against Tyler Parent last spring at “NEF 47” in Auburn, Maine. Dorr was able to pull out a unanimous decision victory in that bout. He would return at “NEF 48” for his sophomore fight against Clifford Redman. Dorr defeated the more experienced Redman via technical knockout in the first round. He represents Acadia BJJ based in Ellsworth, Maine.

“The belt has always been in my sights,” said Dorr. “I’ve been training for that title shot this entire time and I feel ready. Didn’t expect a shot this early, but I have every intention of wearing that belt after the fight.”

"NEF 51: Banger in Bangor” is scheduled for Saturday night, Februarie 11, 2023, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. Tickets are available now atwww.TicketMaster.com.

NEF CLOSES OUT TENTH YEAR OF BUSINESS WITH SOLD-OUT, BLOCKBUSTER EVENT IN PORTLAND

On a milestone New England Fights card dominated by first-round fireworks, Jonathan Piersma went the distance with a ground-and-pound clinic and overwhelmed one of the promotion’s most enduring stars Saturday night.

Piersma followed his gameplan to the letter and hammered out a unanimous decision over Ryan Sanders to win the vacant professional welterweight title in the main event of NEF 50, held at Aura in Portland, Maine.

Fighting in front of a sold-out crowd heavy with Sanders’ supporters and targeted by the Bangor, Maine veteran’s taunts and trash talk in the lead-up to the fight, Piersma (5-1) arrived from Rochester, New York, and did all his talking on the canvas.

True to Sanders’ forecast that he would shoot for the leg and try to force the action to the mat, Piersma did so in every round and never gave Sanders enough breathing room to unleash his vaunted strikes.

Piersma swept all five rounds on each of three scorecards and enjoyed the last word on the microphone in the center of the cage.

“It feels good to win in my first trip to Maine,” Piersma said. “He did a lot of talking, and he’s a tough guy, but I felt like I dominated the fight.”

All but one of Piersma’s wins as a pro have gone to the final bell. The setback for Sanders (20-10) ended a streak of five consecutive wins by stoppage, four in the first round.

Others experienced that rush on the historic anniversary docket with a parade of electrifying, early endings.

Twelve supporting bouts reached a verdict in the first round, several in a matter of a few seconds. Two others were halted in the second stanza, while only one bout prior to the main event went to the scheduled limit.

Jared Turcotte, Ras Hylton, and Robert Gray were the three prime contenders for knockout of the night.

Turcotte, formerly one of Maine’s most decorated high school and college football players, backed up a 35-second choke-out in his summer debut with a 13-second demolition of Regian Da Silva, Jr.

After a brief exchange in the center of the cage, Turcotte landed one shot that sent his New Hampshire opponent by way of Brazil into la-la land.

“I work hard at this. My goal is to get knockouts, and that’s what the fuck happened,” Turcotte said. “My goal actually was for this one to get to the second round, but I’ll take a 13-second KO any time.”

Bellator veteran Hylton (9-6) has decked his past two opponents in a total of 29 sekondes. He expended only 16 ticks of the watch Saturday in a heavyweight shellacking of Indiana’s Jordan Mitchell.

Hylton followed Mitchell to the canvas after the first haymaker and continued his assault to solidify the stoppage.

He dedicated the win to his wife, Janice, in honor of 10 years together.

“She took a drug-addled moron and turned him into something respectable,” the heavy hitter known to his fans as Rasquatch and the Jamaican Shamrock said.

In an amateur cruiserweight contest, Robert Gray (1-0) knocked out Cody Dular (1-1) in 30 seconds. Gray landed a right hand so powerful that it actually launched Dular off his feet into the air. Dular was unconscious for several moments following the knockout and needed attention from the ringside physician.

In an eagerly anticipated grudge match, Matt Denning (8-16) entered the cage in arguably the best shape of his career and exploded to a convincing win over Carl Langston (2-7) by 145 pond.

Denning backed up his own self-assured forecast and simultaneously dispelled Langston’s claim that he was merely fighting for the paycheck. After intercepting one of several sweeping kicks from Langston, Denning gained control of his opponent’s back and earned a tap to rear naked choke at 1:01 van die eerste ronde.

The quick turn of events ended Langston’s modest two-match winning streak as a pro while giving Denning his third win out of eight fights in the past six months alone.

Three other pro bouts ended in short order.

Mohammad Al Kinani (4-1) spoiled Tymar Miles’ debut with a technical knockout in 1:57. It was the second straight win for the rising lightweight star.

Detroit’s Darren Gibbs (3-10) showed that his record is beyond deceiving with a vicious kick to the inside of Nate Grimard’s leg, followed by a heelhook to end the night for Grimard (2-2) by 1:49 in their 150-pound catchweight clash.

Brian Cosco, a knockout victim of Denning in his pro debut earlier the year, turned the tables and spoiled the maiden paying voyage for Justin Kangas with a keylock at 1:18.

As was the case on the pro side, the main amateur attraction also went to the scorecards, with Zach Faulkner (5-3) grinding out a majority decision over newcomer Chase O’Brien.

O’Brien landed a late barrage that might have ended the fight in a few more seconds. Plaas, he settled for a 28-28 draw in one judge’s view and a slim 29-28 loss on the other two cards.

Danny Wahlberg rose from the ashes to defeat Eddy Pena by rear naked choke at 2:13 of the second round in easily the most sensational comeback of the evening.

Pena may have emptied his arsenal with an explosion that nearly persuaded the referee to call a halt on at least two occasions. In desperation mode, Wahlberg threw a couple of token counterpunches before taking Pena’s back to set up the fantastic finish to the featherweight scrap.

In another stunning twist of plot, Nick Mulrey (2-0) escaped a near-guillotine from Chris Strout (0-3) and just as quickly locked in a D’arce choke to hasten the end of their featherweight showdown in only 41 sekondes.

The lone women’s bout of the occasion went to Cassidy Bedard (2-0), who subdued Lindsey Kelley by rear naked choke with just 20 seconds remaining in their opening round. It was the mixed martial arts debut for Kelley, who accepted the challenge on two weeks’ notice.

Other amateur results:

Ed Davis (2-0) defeated Patrick Mitchell (1-1) by strikes one minute into the first round.

Tristan Wood (1-0) overpowered Armon Bryant (0-1) via guillotine at 42 seconds of the second round.

Soren Mercer (1-0) finished Rosen Iliev (0-1) with an arm triangle at 1:55 van die eerste ronde.

Teddy Politis (3-1) TKO’d Aaron Rodriguez (0-1) in die tweede ronde op 1:23.

NEF announced that its next card is set for Saturday, Februarie 11, 2023 by Cross Insurance Centre in Bangor, Maine. One of the featured attractions at NEF 51: “Banger in Bangor” will be an amateur title bout between 2-0 bantamweights Key Baltazar and Nate Dorr. Tickets are available now atwww.TicketMaster.com

NO. 10-RANKED BELLATOR LIGHTWEIGHT GADZHI RABADANOV WILL REPRESENT THE PROMOTION AT THE HISTORICAL BELLATOR MMA VS. RIZIN EVENT AGAINST JAPAN’S KOJI TAKEDA ON NEW YEAR’S EVE

Los Angeles— BELLATOR MMA has announced that its fifth participant for the New Year’s Eve spectacle against RIZIN Fighting Federation opponents will be No. 10-ranked lightweightGadzhi Rabadanov(18-4-2), taking on 27-year-old Japanese standoutKoji Takeda(15-3) in a compelling matchup between two competitors riding high on the strength of consecutive victories.

A first-of-its-kind blockbuster co-promotionBELLATOR MMA vs. RIZIN takes place inside the Saitama Super Arena in Japan on Saturday, Desember 31, and can be seen in the United States on SHOWTIME at 8 namiddag. ET/PT on New Year’s Eve.

Rabadanov versus Takeda will join a star-studded five-fightBELLATOR MMA vs. RIZINhoof kaart, which is stacked from top to bottom with current and former champions competing in the four-sided ring under RIZIN’s unique rules. Headlining the event will be a dream matchup between RIZIN lightweight championRoberto “Satoshi” de Souza(14-1) against No. 3 BELLATOR pound-for-pound talentAJ “Mercenary” McKee(19-1), with BELLATOR and RIZIN featherweight championsPatricio Pitbull(34-5) enKleber Koike(31-5-1) co-headlining the must-see event.

Former BELLATOR championsJuan “The Spaniard” Archuleta(26-4) enKyoji Horiguchi(30-5) will round out the unparalleled main card, facing off with RIZIN’sSoo Chul Kim(18-6-1) enHiromasa Ougikubo(25-6-2), onderskeidelik.

Gadzhi Rabadanov, 29, signed with BELLATOR in 2021 after capturing the Eagle FC lightweight title, and has made an immediate impact on the promotion’s remarkably deep lightweight division. He announced his arrival in thunderous fashion atBELLATOR 263with an emphatic viral knockout of Daniel Carey, which he followed up with back-to-back dominant unanimous decision victories over Jay Jay Wilson and Bobby King in 2022. The product of the renowned Club Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov’s School in Dagestan and the prestigious American Kickboxing Academy, Rabadanov’s pedigree is world-class. On New Year’s Eve, Rabadanov will look to continue building upon his momentum with an impressive performance against Koji Takeda.

“It is a childhood dream come true to fight in Japan at the legendary Saitama Super Arena,” said Rabadanov. “I’m very excited and I know I have a tough opponent, who always leaves everything in the ring. Expect a masterpiece from me, it will be a memorable fight.”

A former DEEP lightweight champion, Japan’sKoji Takedahas been an active fighter since his 2017 professionele debuut. Takeda boasts a compelling case for inclusion on this historic fight card, winning seven of his last ten and three of his last four outings under the RIZIN and DEEP banners. Takeda is also familiar with BELLATOR foes; he has previously fought Spike Carlyle and submitted Zach Zane by armbar, both of whom fought recently for the Scott Coker-led promotion. Takeda will look to add a third straight win to his resume against the highly-touted Rabadanov in his hometown of Saitama, Japan, Desember 31.

Also scheduled for a return to action, Honolulu’s own former Women’s Flyweight World Champion Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (11-1) will return home to compete against Justine Kish (7-5) as the No. 1 ranked women’s flyweight looks to start her journey back to a world title in the same arena two of the most memorable BELLATOR main events in recent memory took place. Opening the four-fight main card is another BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal matchup between No. 2-ranked bantamweight Patchy Mix (15-1) and former BELLATOR and Rizin Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4).

Current BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Sergio “The Phenom” Pettis sits at No. 7 on the promotion’s pound-for-pound list. He successfully defended his belt for the first time against former BELLATOR 135-pound titleholder Kyoji Horiguchi with a “knockout of the year” style finish at BELLATOR 272 in Desember. The hard-hitting Midwesterner out of Milwaukee originally captured the crown by outpointing former champion Juan Archuleta. The younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will be in for one of the toughest fights of his career when he takes on Raufeon Stots. Stots, who used to train alongside Pettis for several years, has been flawless since making his promotion debut in December 2019. He most recently scored a dominant unanimous decision victory over Magomed Magomedov at BELLATOR 264.

Featherweight world champion and top-ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter Cris “Cyborg” has made three straight title defenses including a second-round submission of Arlene Blencowe in 2020, which surprisingly is the lone submission victory of her storied career. The Brazilian native who currently fights out of Las Vegas, Nev. is a “Grand Slam Champion” having won belts in four different organizations. She sports 20 wins by finish with victories over elite competition including Holly Holm, Leslie Smith (twee keer), Gina Carano and aims to further her legacy as the greatest women’s mixed martial artist of all time in the rematch versus Blencowe. Australia’s Blencowe is BELLATOR’s No. 6 pound-for-pound female fighter and the No. 1 ingedeel veergewigtitel. She has won five of her last six fights and earned her shot at the world title rematch with a unanimous decision over Pam Sorenson at BELLATOR 271 in November.

Currently BELLATOR’s No. 2 ranked bantamweight, Patchy Mix recently defeated James Gallagher via submission in his last outing at BELLATOR 270 in Dublin. Mix has made a name for himself in the BELLATOR cage by displaying impressive submissions and his lone professional loss came to former champion Juan Archuleta. He now faces Horiguchi, another former world champion who hails from Takasaki, Japan. The American Top Team prodigy Horiguchi became a simultaneous, two-promotion champion in 2019 after he upset then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell while also holding the RIZIN Championship. After he was forced to relinquish his BELLATOR title due to an injury, Horiguchi nearly got his hands back on BELLATOR’s title but was stopped by current champion Sergio Pettis in December. The No. 5 ranked bantamweight now aims to get back in the winning column and recapture his belt, along with the million-dollar prize that awaits the winner of the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

McKee (18-0) hopes to take the next step toward becoming the sport’s greatest fighter as he battles former top pound-for-pound and two-division championPatricio Pitbull (32-5) for the second time in less than nine months on Friday, April 15, by10 namiddag.

Kaartjies virBELLATOR MMA 277: McKee vs. Pitbull 2 go on sale this Friday, Februarie. 18 at bothTicketmaster.com enBellator.com with a special presale starting the day prior.

Daarbenewens, four preliminary bouts have been announced including a mouthwatering matchup between two highly ranked heavyweights as No. 5-ingedeelTim Johnson (15-8) faces surging No. 6-ingedeelTyrell Fortune(11-2, 1 NC) in a rematch fromBELLATOR 239. Their first fight ended with Johnson securing a win that earned great consideration for the 2020 KO of the Year. The preliminary bouts will stream live three hours earlier at7 namiddag. ET / 4 pm. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV.

In their historic initial matchup at the Forum in Inglewood, Kalifornië., McKee stunned Pitbull by landing a punishing left leg kick to the head at 1:40 of the opening stanza atBELLATOR MMA 263Julie 31, 2021. The champion then continued the onslaught by unleashing a series of brutal unanswered head shots that floored the Brazilian legend.

Moments later as McKee prematurely raised his arms in celebration, Pitbull rose from the depths of defeat only to be greeted by a fighter hell bent on stealing his crown and claiming the $1 million prize. With the 25-time BELLATOR MMA veteran backed up against the fence, MMA’s brightest young brawler locked in a guillotine choke. With Pitbull seeming to lose consciousness, referee Mike Beltran halted matters at 1:57 van die opening raam.

“Hosting the world’s best mixed martial artists in the great city of San Jose is something that has been important to me during my career as a fight promoter and I’m happy to continue that with our card on April 15,” BELLATOR President Scott Coker said. “The rematch between A.J. McKee and Patricio Pitbull for the featherweight title, as well as our Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Final featuring Vadim Nemkov against Corey Anderson are two fights that could headline any event on their own, but we are bringing both to SAP Center at San Jose on the same night to show the fans here that we truly value their support throughout the years.

A native of Long Beach, Kalifornië., BELLATOR’s top-rated pound-for-pound fighter has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut three days following his 20ste verjaarsdag. Armed with six knockouts and seven submissions, the Team Bodyshop product, wat sal draai 27 eight days before his rematch against Pitbull, has shown a knack for securing lightning-fast finishes with 10 coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every fighter who has opposed him, including former World Champions Pitbull, Pat Curran, and Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted with a rare-modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” The winner of the 2020 Submission of the Year Award for his 71-second annihilation of Caldwell has fought a total of 33 rounds across 18 loopbaan wedstryde (1.8 rounds per bout), while logging less than 41 total minutes in the BELLATOR cage since turning pro in August 2012.

One half of the vaunted Pitbull Brothers duo, Patricio has long been considered the crown jewel of BELLATOR MMA, where he currently sits at No. 3 in the BELLATOR MMA men’s pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable 32-5 record with wins over elite competition, including the likes of former World Champions Pat Curran, Juan Archuleta, and Daniel Straus (twee keer). In 2019, the 34-year-old Brazilian captured the BELLATOR Lightweight World Championship from Michael Chandler, becoming only the second BELLATOR athlete to hold two titles simultaneously. Met 23 finishes in 37 professionele gevegte, Pitbull has shown repeatedly that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

Currently BELLATOR MMA’s second-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, Nemkov captured the BELLATOR MMA light heavyweight crown by defeating Ryan Bader via second-round TKO atBELLATOR MMA 244 in August 2020. Riding a nine-fight winning streak dating back to June 2016, the ferocious 29-year-old sports seven first-round knockouts, with two in the initial minute of action. After successfully defending his light heavyweight belt by earning a tough unanimous decision over Phil Davis, the pride of Belgorod, Russia and Fedor Emelianenko protégé scored a fourth-round submission of late replacement Julius Anglickas in the semifinals of the BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix during his last outing on Oct. 16, 2021.

Anderson, of Robbinsville, N.J., has ascended to the top of the BELLATOR 205-pound rankings by vanquishing seven of his past eight opponents, including a third-round stoppage of Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov atBELLATOR MMA 257 April 16, 2021. Exactly six months later atBELLATOR MMA 268, the Rockford, Siek., native walked into the cage to the spellbinding sounds of The Doors’ “Five to One,” and took the song title literally by knocking out Arizona State University wrestling legend Ryan Bader in 51 seconds in front of Bader’s hometown crowd at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz. In his first promotional appearance, “Overtime” registered a second-round TKO over Dutch kickboxing legend Melvin Manhoef atBELLATOR MMA 251 in November 2020. Prior to joining BELLATOR, Anderson tallied a 10-5 record with a rival promotion, winning “The Ultimate Fighter 19” tournament in 2014, and boasting impressive wins over Glover Teixeira, Jan Błachowicz and Johnny Walker, onder andere.
