LEAR AND RICHARD TO VIE FOR FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE AT NEF 37 V BANGORU

Bangor, Maine (Prosinec 6, 2018) - New England utkání (NEF) se bude konat další události smíšený-bojových umění, “NEF 37: Pod nulou,” v pátek, Únor 1, 2019 Na Cross Insurance Centre v Bangor, Maine. Dneska, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title fight to the card. Fred Lear (6-2) je naplánováno na splnění Zac Richard (3-0) for the vacant 145-pound championship.

Fred Lear will look to replicate the success he had the last time he fought in Bangor. In August 2017, Lear captured the amateur bantamweight strap with a second-round technical knockout of Walt Shea (3-1) at the Cross Insurance Center.

Lear has had a stellar amateur career fighting out of Young’s MMA in Bangor. Prior to competing in mixed-martial-arts, Lear wrestled for John Bapst High School also based in the Queen City. He has won his last three in a row in the MMA cage. Should Lear win the featherweight title, he will become the first competitor in NEF history to hold championships in multiple weight divisions.

“This title fight is an opportunity to develop and grow,” said Lear. “An undefeated opponent with nothing but finishes, I like it—it’s polarizing. I want to turn professional. This is how I get better, that’s all I’m focused on.”

Like Lear, Zac Richard brought a wrestling background with him to the MMA cage. He won a state championship in 2015 competing for Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine. Richard now trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under head coach, current UFC competitor, a bývalý NEF Professional Lehká Champion, Devin Powell (9-4).  Richard has finished all three of his previous opponents in the first round.

“Jsem velmi nadšený pro tento boj,” said Richard. “The belt is great and all, but it’s just a stepping stone to my goals. I think this is a great opportunity for me to really show the hard work I put in. This fight camp is going to be extremely different for me and I cannot wait to have that cage locked. This fight will be just past the year mark of when I started training in MMA. It’s just the beginning.

Nef příští událost smíšených bojových umění, “NEF 37: SUB ZERO,” se bude konat v pátek, Únor 1, 2019 v Cross Insurance Center v Bangoru, Maine s dobou zvonu z 8 pm. Tickets are on-sale now atwww.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Fresh off an impressive semi-final run in Bellator’s Heavyweight World Grand Prix, Matt Mitrione returns to action on February 15 against a true veteran in Sergei Kharitonov. The former Purdue football defensive lineman splits his training between Indianapolis and Combat Club in South Florida, and is in the best shape of his fighting career. Nedávno, Mitrione has defeatedRoy Nelson aFedor Emelianenko, adding to an already-impressive list of career victories.The man dubbed “The Paratrooper,” Kharitonov is the owner of an equally notable MMA resume, with the 38-year-old scoring wins against some of the sport’s most marquee names, including an incredible performance against Roy Nelson, as well as Fabricio Werdum, Andrei Arlovski, Pedro Rizzo, Murilo “Ninja” Rua and Alistair Overeem.

One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, “MVP” has steadily worked his way up the welterweight ranks since signing with the organization in 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, every Michael Page fight is must-see entertainment. With an undefeated record of 13-0, a 11 of those victories coming by stoppage, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, Paul Daley. Veterán Strikeforce, UFC and BAMMA, Nottingham’s Daley has competed professionally since 2003. Během jeho kariéry, „Semtex“ byl polovinou některých z nejpamátnějších zápasů v historii MMA, Včetněknockout roku nad Brennanovou Wardovou 2017.

A rematch ofBellator 115, Cheick Kongo will look for redemption against Bellator’s longest reigning heavyweight champion, when Vitaly Minakov returns for his first fight with the promotion since 2014. A winner of seven straight, including two consecutive first-round knockouts overTimothy JohnsonaJavy Ayala, Kongo has earned the opportunity to compete in a No. 1 contender’s bout. Undefeated as a professional, Minakov earned a victory against Alexander Volkov, as well as a previous win against Kongo, in his previous Bellator stint, and later continued his winning ways in Russia against “Bigfoot” Silva and Tony Johnson. The two now meet to determine who will go on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko andRyan Bader.

BELLATOR SENDS BANTAMWEIGHT WORLD CHAMPION DARRION CALDWELL TO JAPAN ON NEW YEAR’S EVE TO CHALLENGE KYOJI HORIGUCHI FOR INAUGURAL RIZIN FF 135-POUND TITLE

 

cid:image002.png@01D48760.56661D90

LOS ANGELES - Bellator is pleased to announce that the organization’s current bantamweight titleholder Darrion Caldwell (13-1) will represent the promotion in an exciting matchup against 2017 Rizin Bantamweight Grand Prix winner Kyoji Horiguchi (25-2). The two will compete for the inaugural Rizin bantamweight championship at Rizin 14 v pondělí, Prosince. 31 from Saitama Super Arena in Saitama, Japonsko.

 

 

 

In the three-round (15-minuta) Rizin FF world championship bout – which will be held in a ring under Rizin’s unique rule set – the victor of Caldwell vs. Horiguchi will leave Japan’s historic combat sports venue a Rizin FF champion. Caldwell’s Bellator bantamweight title will not be on the line in the contest.

 

 

 

The latest agreement between Bellator and Rizin FF furthers a collaboration between the two companies which has seen multiple athletes, počítaje v to Fedor Emelianenko, "Král Mo" Lawal a Hisaki Kato mimo jiné, compete interpromotionally, but never before has a title from either promotion been on the line.

 

 

 

“Working for the Japanese fight company K-1 was a magical time during my promotional career and I have always felt strongly that MMA in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ would rise again. It truly is amazing to see what Nobuyuki Sakakibara has been able to do thus far with Rizin FF, so when he reached out to me about putting Darrion Caldwell against Kyoji Horiguchi for Rizin’s belt, we spoke to Darrion and he jumped at the opportunity,“Prezident Bellatoru Scott Coker řekl. “Bellator wants to support Rizin, and by sending our bantamweight champion to compete during their New Year’s Eve event, we look forward to this leading towards more collaboration between the two promotions in 2019. I want to wish Darrion luck in his quest to prove he is the best 135-pound fighter on the planet.”

 

 

 

“I am very grateful and honored that Bellator and Scott Coker would send us their unarguable bantamweight champion to fight for Rizin’s first-ever world title fight. This title fight will be a true champion vs. champion to determine the world’s best bantamweight fighter,” Rizin FF President Nobuyuki Sakakibara said. “We hope this kind gesture will kick off of a series of exciting matchups between both promotions in 2019. My dream would be that eventually we can co-promote a mega event in both countries with a ‘Champion Carnival’ taking place where stories and rivalries can be built and told.”

 

 

 

Caldwell, a 30-year-old Rahway, N.J. native and the current Bellator bantamweight champion, most recently moved up a weight class to challenge himself, successfully finishing veteran Noad Vše. Bojovat ze San Diega, Calif., “The Wolf” has emerged as one of the most well-rounded fighters in the world, sbírání 10 victories since signing with Bellator in 2013. The 2009 NCAA D-1 National Champion wrestler from NC State boasts a resume that includes five first-round finishes, a 25-minute war against Eduardo Dantas to claim the world title and a textbook guillotine choke submission victory over Leandro Higo in his first career title defense earlier this year. Caldwell will look for fifth consecutive win and a second world title belt when he enters the ring against Kyoji Horiguchi on New Year’s Eve in Japan.

M-1 Challenge featherweight champion Nate “Vlak” Landwehr To make first title defense vs. Andrey Lezhnev

M-1 Challenge bitva v Atyrau, Prosince. 15, in Kazakhstan
Nate Landwehr is excited to make his first title defense
PETROHRAD, Rusko (Listopad 28, 2018) — M-1 Challenge muší mistr Nate “Vlak” Landwehr will make his first title defense December 15, headlining M-1 Global’s final event of the yearM-1 Challenge Battle in Atyrauversus challenger Andrey “Iron” Lezhnev, in Atyrau, Kazachstán.
M-1 Challenge bitva v Atyrau will be live-streamed from Kazakhstan in high definition onwww.M1Global.TV. Diváci budou mít možnost sledovat předběžné bojuje a hlavní kartu přihlášení k registraci na www.M1Global.TV. Fanoušci mohou sledovat veškeré dění na svých počítačích, stejně jako na Android a Apple chytré telefony a tablety. M-1 Challenge 97 will also be is k dispozici nawww.FITE.TV(Předběžný karta zdarma, $7.99 pro hlavní kartu).
This will mark the first M-1 Global show in Kazakhstan in three years, od té doby M-1 Challenge 59: Battle of the Nomads 5 v Astaně, in which Russian star Sergei Kharitonov vyrazil Američan Kenny Garner v prvním kole.
The 30-year-old Landwehr (11-2-0, M-1: 3-0-0), fighting out of the Nashville suburb of Clarksville, Tennessee, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge featherweight title belt this past June at M-1 Challenge 95 in Nazran, Ingušsko, Rusko. The entertaining American fighter stopped defending champion Khamzat Dalgiev Na razníků ve druhém kole. Dalgiev was making his first title defense, after he shocked the MMA world by knocking out longtime M-1 champion Ivan Buchinger v úvodním kole.
“Vlak” keeps rollin
In two other M-1 fights that set-up his title shot, Landwehr won a split decision over Viktor Kolesnik na M-1 Challenge 85, preceded by a third-round stoppage of Mikhail Korobkovpřes údery na M-1 Challenge 83.
“Nenechte se mýlit,” Lanwehr said, “I want to put an ass whooping on everyone in the division. Lezhnev is just the next in line. Don’t think of me as just the champion, think of me as the baddest S.O.B that can make 145 liber. I will be coming at him as if I am still a hungry challenger trying to make a statement to become a champion.
I would love to have a tournament with all the contenders. We’d all fight multiple times on one night against everyone and the last man standing is crowned King. Ale, teď, I will fight who M-1 feels is the next contender. If you have a problem with that, then it means you are not as impressive as a fighter as you think. Because I convinced them in two fights that I was the one for the job and I got the job done in my third (M-1) boj.
Boj z Ukrajiny, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1; 6-3-0) earned this title shot by winning nine of his last 10 boje, including the last three in a row. His victims include another U.S., Závětří “Americký buldok” Morrison, who lost a unanimous decision to Lezhnev at M-1 Challenge 69 v 2016.
Andrey Lezhnev has earned his title shot against Lanwehr
Landwehr is a typical brawler with nice cardio,” Lezhnev commented. “Everybody who plays by his rules loses. He is also very provocative, he loves creating the hype around him. For a long time, he tried to avoid this fight, challenging guys who passed their prime, because he understood he had no chances against me. But now the time has come to beat that hype out of him.
Všechny boje a bojovníci se mohou změnit. Další M-1 Challenge bitva v Atyrauboje budou brzy oznámeny.
