Originating from the exalted Brazilian jiu-jitsu family, Gracie scored his first professional TKO when he backed his opponent against the fence and unleashed a barrage of unanswered punches to Lemminger’s head, forcing referee Jason Herzog to stop the contest at 1:27 of the opening round on Sept. 18, 2021, in San Jose, Kalifornië.

The great grandson of Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu founder Carlos Gracie, nephew of MMA icon Royce Gracie, and cousin to Renzo Gracie, Neiman Gracie opened his outstanding MMA career by recording nine consecutive wins of then-undefeated opponents, including eight by submission.

A native of Rio de Janeiro, Brasilië, the 33-year-old BELLATOR veteran currently holds a 9-2 promotional record. While others his age were learning to speak their native language, Gracie began jiu-jitsu training at age four. Fast forward to 18 years later when the multi-faceted fighter earned the Gracie Jiu-Jitsu black belt at 22. Daarbenewens, the Renzo Gracie Jiu-Jitsu and Kings MMA fighter captured the 2011 U.S National Jiu-Jitsu title, 2008 Pan-American Jiu-Jitsu crown, en 2007 American National Jiu-Jitsu championship during an illustrious amateur career.

Hailing from Webster, S.D., the hard-hitting Storley commenced his pro vocation with six consecutive knockouts, including five in the initial stanza, en route to 11 straight triumphs overall. Verder, “The Storm” will make his ninth consecutive BELLATOR appearance where he currently holds a magnificent 7-1 rekord.

Like his counterpart on Feb. 19, Storley began wresting at a young age, albeit one year later at age five. Daarbenewens, the Sanford MMA product and former folkstyle wrestler completed a fabled amateur career as a four-time NCAA Division-I champion at the University of Minnesota, as well as a six-time South Dakota High School Activities Association titlist.

The 29-year-old Storley, who holds academic degrees in both business and marketing, thrilled his hometown crowd in his last turn by earning a split-decision victory over Dante Schiro in the co-featured bout ofBellator MMA 265 in Sioux Falls, S.D.

C-Sergio Pettis (22-5) verslaan Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4) via KO (spinning backfist) by 3:24 van die vierde ronde

Sergio Pettis: “I came out here and got beaten up for four rounds. When it happened, I was just like, ‘Man I am losing this fight. I’ve got to do something spectacular.’ It (the decisive punch that ended the fight) came at the right time.”

“I needed to face some adversity, and tonight Horiguchi gave me all of that. It was hard trying to time his rhythm, trying to get his movement down.”

“My coaches always tell me, ‘If you open up, you could be one of the best in the world.’ That what I’m pushing for.”

#9-Jeremy Kennedy (17-3, 1 NC) verslaan #4-Emmanuel Sanchez (20-7) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Jeremy Kennedy: “I can’t seem to find it. My coaches got mad at me in my last fight. I’ve got an atomic bomb. That’s what my coach said. It’s a 100-mile (per hour) fastball. I’ve got to use it. Last fight, Ek het nie. I wanted to try and mix it up, change my style. I was competitive, but I had to get back to my roots.”

“I would have liked to have mixed it up a bit more, maar (Emmanuel) Sanchez is in your face the whole time. It was hard to dictate that calculated range. He just came right at me.”

“I put a lot of pressure on myself. I had a close friend pass away. He was in my corner for my last few fights. I didn’t want to go home with a loss. I didn’t want to take any extra chance. I wanted to win every single exchange. I wanted to win every second, every moment of this fight. I didn’t care what that looked like. I had to get the ‘w.’ “

“Next time, I am going to get back to having fun and find that happy medium. This one is for Boom. I had to get my hand raised at all costs. I wasn’t coming out of this without a win.”

#7-Josh Hill (21-4) verslaan Jared Scoggins (10-2) via KO (punch) by :56 van die tweede ronde

Josh Hill: “This one was about timing. We knew the first round would be hard to get that timing down. Hy (Jared Scoggins) was very jumpy, in and out. That (punch that ended the fight) was right on the button.”

“I belong there (in the Bellator MMA World Grand Prix). I know this division is stacked, so I understand (why he wasn’t included). I want in. If there are any injuries or pull outs, I’m your man.”

“I saw him (Scoggins) go down and knew he was out. There was no point to keep going.”

"Hy (Scoggins) is very traditional, karate-esque. My coach and I worked on timing quite a bit. I knew the first round might be a little tricky. I landed a punch in the first, but it wasn’t on the money. The one in the second (that ended the fight) was.”

#5-Johnny Ebts (10-0) verslaan Collin Huckbody (10-4) via TKO (stoot) by 1:11 van die eerste ronde

Johnny Ebts: “I wanted to send that dude (Huckbody) to the metaverse. Ongelukkig, I could not do that tonight. I was I could have put on a better show, but it is what it is.”

“John Salter, I signed a bout agreement to fight you in Florida, but you [expletive withheld] out. I don’t know if you got hurt, or you [expletive withheld] out. But I want to see you in this [expletive withheld] cage, John. Let’s gear up and let’s get after it.”

VOORLOPIGE CARD:
Alexander Shabliy (21-3) verslaan Bobby King (10-4) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

First-round matchups and additional details such as dates, locations and tournament alternates will be revealed soon.

All tournament bouts will be five-round contests and will be telecast in the United States exclusively on SHOWTIME.

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi enters tonight’s contest unranked due to inactivity within the promotion. Official BELLATOR Rankings will be updated and distributed on Monday, Desember. 6.

Kampioen – Sergio Pettis (21-5):

Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettis captured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJuan Archuleta in a fast-paced contest atBELLATOR 258.During a nearly six-year, 14-fight UFC stint, the Roufusport-product competed in both the flyweight and bantamweight classes, collecting nine victories and a pair of “Fight of the Night” honors against Alex Caceres and Matt Hobar in 2014. Prior to his UFC tenure, Pettis, the younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, earned world titles in Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s flyweight division and North American Fighting Championship’s 135-pound class. Following a trio of impressive triumphs over some of the division’s elite, BELLATOR’s bantamweight champion is set to protect his belt and an unblemished 3-0 promotional mark entering the tournament.

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight Champion – Kyoji Horiguchi (29-3):

Hailing from Takasaki, Japan, die 31-jarigeKyoji Horiguchi is the reigning RIZIN bantamweight champion who notoriously became a simultaneous, Two-promosie-kampioen in 2019 after taking down and upsetting then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell at Madison Square Garden. Ongelukkig, an injury would force Horiguchi to relinquish his BELLATOR title in 2019, and he now looks to reclaim his belt in a main event clash with current championSergio Pettis byBELLATOR 272. While with RIZIN, the American Top Team-product amassed an impressive 10-1 promotional mark, highlighted by eight finishes and five first-round knockouts. Daarbenewens, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Nou, after reclaiming his RIZIN bantamweight strap and avenging only his third loss in 32 outings with a highlight-reel, opening-round knockout over Kai Asakura on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Japanese sensation fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., aims to get his hands back on BELLATOR’s title

Moenie. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – Juan Archuleta (25-3):

With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-ingedeelJuan Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, insluitend 12 by way of K.O. of voorlegging, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.

Moenie. 2 Ranked Bantamweight – Raufeon Stots (17-1):

Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fighters, Raufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, die No. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 rekord, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.

Moenie. 3 Ranked Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):

Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, N.Y., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.. native looks to build off his most recent win atBELLATOR 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Ierland, verlede maand. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, including five first-round finishes. Nou, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.

Moenie. 4 Ranked Bantamweight – Magomed Magomedov (18-2):

After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Magomedov hopes to add to his collection by taking home BELLATOR gold. Amassing an impressive 18-2 career record with 12 via finish, “Tiger” has made a swift impact on the BELLATOR 135-pound division since his December 2020 promotional debut by climbing to No. 4 in the rankings. Possessing both a blistering pace and superior grappling, Magomedov has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

Moenie. 5 Ranked Bantamweight – Leandro Higo (21-5):

After dropping in weight to 135-pounds, Leandro Higo has been on a tear by winning three consecutive fights and putting the entire bantamweight division on notice. Under the tutelage of the famed Pitbull Brothers camp, the Brazilian is coming off a hard-fought, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBELLATOR 259 Mei 2021. As 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.

Moenie. 6 Ranked Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):

Hailing from Strabane, Ierland, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBELLATOR 169 in Desember 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBELLATOR 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, and add to his own legacy with a shot at BELLATOR bantamweight gold.

GRIMARD AND VASTA SET TO GO PRO AT NEF 46

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (November 30, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, "NEF 46: Dekade van oorheersing,” on Saturday, Februarie 12, 2022, by Aura in Portland, Maine. Die geleentheid sal NEF se tienjaar-herdenking herdenk. Die voorste streekpromosie is op Februarie van stapel gestuur 11, 2012. Vroeër vandag, NEF het die toevoeging van 'n professionele veergewig-wedstryd tot die gevegskaart aangekondig. Voormalige NEF Amateur Veergewig KampioenNathaniel Grimard (0-0) is geskeduleer om aan te vatAnthony Net (0-0) op 'n stryd gewig van 145-pond.

Nathaniel Grimard het in September sy NEF MMA-debuut gemaak 2019 by “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Daardie aand, Grimard het Justin Kangas ingedien (0-3) via armbar in die eerste rondte. Tydens die pandemie inperking, Grimard het twee keer in Florida deelgeneem en sy rekord verbeter na 3-0. Sy onoorwonne rekord het Grimard geposisioneer om vir die destyds vakante NEF-veergewigkampioenskap uit te daag. In Augustus, Grimard het Brandon Maillet-Fevens gestop (3-2) in die tweede ronde by “NEF 44: Back in Black” om die titelhouer van 145 pond te word. Grimard het dadelik teruggekom in die hok by “NEF 45: Uprising” om sy band teen Billy Wilson te verdedig (7-1) van die beroemde Jackson Wink MMA-kamp in New Mexico. Grimard het 'n moeisame besluit van vyf ronde verloor wat Wilson die nuwe kampioen gemaak het. Nou, Grimard druk die reset-skakelaar terwyl hy beplan om professioneel teen NEF-nuweling te draai, Anthony Net. Grimard verteenwoordig Nostos MMA van Somersworth, New Hampshire waar hy onder UFC en Bellator-veteraan oefen, en voormalige NEF Professionele Liggewigkampioen, Devin Powell (10-5).

"Ek kan my nie 'n beter manier voorstel om my professionele loopbaan te begin as op NEF se 10de verjaardagkaart nie,” het Grimard gesê. “Ek het groot doelwitte vir myself en ek is gereed om enigiemand in my pad aan te vat. Ek het niks anders as respek vir Vasta en sy gevegskunsvaardighede nie, maar ek was nog nooit meer gefokus nie.”

Anthony Vasta sal ook sy professionele buiging by NEF maak 46. Vasta en Grimard het hul onderskeie MMA-amateur-debuut binne 'n paar maande na mekaar gemaak. Vasta en Grimard deel nog 'n gemeenskaplike band, aangesien albei tydens die pandemie op dieselfde kaart in Florida meegeding het. Vast moet 1-1 amateurrekord en oefen by Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy in Wakefield, Massachusetts.

“Dit is opwindend om my professionele debuut teen nog 'n opkomende New England-vegter te maak wat ek respekteer,” het Vasta gesê. “Dit is tyd om die volgende stap in my loopbaan te neem, stel my vaardighede op die proef, en gryp die geleentheid aan. My styl is regtig onortodoks en moeilik om voor voor te berei. Ek beplan om daarheen te gaan en ’n oorheersende vertoning te lewer teen nog ’n moeilike vooruitsig van hierdie afdeling.”

"NEF 46: Dekade van oorheersing” vind Saterdag plaas, Februarie 12, 2022, by Aura in Portland, Maine. Die geleentheid sal NEF se tienjaar-herdenking herdenk. Deure open om 6 nm met eerste geveg by 7 nm. Kaartjies is nou te koop bywww.Ticketmaster.com.

Feelgood ”Austin (5-1) in 'n "Fight of the Night"-optrede by "NEF 45: Opstand.” Af op die telkaarte maar nie moedeloos nie, Smythe het 'n kom-van-agter-oorwinning behaal om die tegniese uitklophou te verdien (WIE) stop oor Austin in die laaste tweede van die vierde ronde van hul kampioenskapstryd. Nooit een om stadiger te ry nie, Smythe, wat opgelei word deur Nate Libby uit Evolution Athletix in Saco, Maine, is gretig om 'n onmiddellike ommekeer te maak en sy titel teen 'n voormalige NEF-kampioen te verdedig.

“Van klok tot klok, elke rondte, Ek sal na hierdie kind gaan asof hy my geld skuld,” het Smythe gesê. “Ek wil vinnig afrond. Ryan verdien nie om saam met my in daardie hok te wees nie. 12 Februarie, Ek sal wys hoekom ek die NEF-vlieggewigkampioen is.”

Ryan Burgess is geen onbekende vir kampioenskapuitdagings nie. Kom van Rumford, Maine, Burgess is een van slegs vier matmanne van die Hoërskool Mountain Valley wat ooit driedubbele staatskrone in stoei gewen het. Hy het 'n wonderlike 151-23 algehele hoërskoolrekord voordat hy gegradueer het en sy aandag op gemengde gevegskuns gevestig het. Burgess het vinnig naam gemaak in MMA toe hy die NEF-vlieggewigkampioenskap in November gewen het 2015 met 'n verdeelde besluit oor die destydse Kampioen Dustin Veinott (5-4). Toe Burgess laas meegeding het, hy het 'n gevaarlike Brasiliaanse jiu-jitsu vertoon (BJJ) wedstryd van sy rug af om Nate Boucher te verslaan (0-1) in 'n hewige tuisdorp wedywering. Burgess, 'n BJJ pers gordel, oefen onder Jason "JB" Bell en veg uit Bell se Famoso BJJ.

“Ek is baie opgewonde om my terugkeer te maak op NEF se 10-jaar-herdenkingskou,” het Burgess gesê. "Dit was lank vir my om terug te keer na die hok en ek kan nie aan 'n meer perfekte scenario dink as om terug te kom en my vlieggewigtitel te herwin met 'n afronding oor Smythe. Dit is drie jaar sedert ek meegeding het, maar my afrigter, Jason Bell, en ek het agter die skerms werk ingesit. Ek kan nie wag om my vaardighede ten toon te stel en 'n vertoning vir die aanhangers aan te bied nie.

“Smythe lyk soos 'n moeilike teenstander, en dit was geen maklike prestasie vir hom om Caleb Austin vir die gordel te verslaan nie,” vervolg Burgess. “Met dit gesê, Ek sien baie gate in sy spel wat ek beplan om op 12 Februarie te ontgin. Ek hoop nie hy verwag dieselfde vegter wat hy kyk in die drie-plus jaar oue film wat hy navors om my beter te verstaan ​​nie. Geestelik en vaardig, Ek is 'n baie beter vegter in vergelyking met my vorige gevegte en net my oefenmaats weet eintlik die wapens wat ek in daardie hok sal inbring om die werk gedoen te kry. Smythe sal dalk sy hele strewe na 'n professionele MMA-loopbaan heroorweeg wanneer ek klaar is met hom. Die druk wat ek gaan bring, sal enige van hierdie amateurvlieggewigte in Nieu-Engeland laat smelt en in Februarie sal hulle almal op hoogte wees.”

ASSAM VS KANGAS SET TO STRIKE AT NEF 46 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (November 24, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, "NEF 46: Dekade van oorheersing,” on Saturday, Februarie 12, 2022, by Aura in Portland, Maine. Die geleentheid sal NEF se tienjaar-herdenking herdenk. Die voorste streekpromosie is op Februarie van stapel gestuur 11, 2012. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the fight card.Jon Assam (2-3) is scheduled to take on former lightweightJustin Kangas (0-3) op 'n stryd gewig van 170-pond.

Jon Assam will have fought for NEF for four straight years when he steps in the cage on February 12ste. The Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) staple most recently made Austin Hamilton (0-3) retire on the stool in between rounds when they faced-off at the Hampshire Dome last August at “NEF 44: Back in Black” in New Hampshire. Assam will be looking to extend his win streak to two when he shares the cage with Kangas in February.

“I’m very excited to be part of another NEF event, always good cards and good fights,” Assam stated. “I don’t like to do much talking outside of the cage, but my opponent can expect the same thing I expect from him—the best version of ourselves—and we’ll see whose best is better.”

Justin Kangas has struggled to find his first win in NEF, having dropped losses to a who’s who of young up and coming talent including Nate “The Mule White (5-0) and former NEF Featherweight Champion Nathaniel Grimard (4-1). Standing 6’3”, the cut to 155-pounds has always been a struggle for the moonlighting mixed martial artist who spends his days working as a school principal. Having finally found the rhythm between his professional life and passion for training, Kangas is confident that the move up in weight class will help him secure that elusive first win in the NEF hexagon.

“I am extremely excited to step back into the NEF cage. It has been far too long. Covid has been rough on us all in a variety of ways, but if there is a silver lining, it’s that it gave me a ton of time to work on my deficits. When I first started fighting for NEF, I was only nine months into my training, and I was a fish out of water on the ground. Each fight gave me a lot to reflect on and gave me a full picture of what needed to change. Covid may have stopped a lot of things in our country, but it didn’t stop me from training and growing as a fighter.

“My weaknesses have become new passions and strengths for me. Losing and identifying faults doesn’t break me down. It excites me. Nothing is more rewarding than improving yourself. Have no doubt, I have done just that.

“After all the time off, I made the decision to jump up a weight class. I have been working hard to put on weight the right way over the last year and a half and have come leaps and bounds in my confidence and technique on the feet, the cage and the ground. I am a far more well-rounded and skilled fighter. I look forward to showing off that work.

“Jon Assam is a veteran in the NEF cage and he always goes to war. I am excited to share the cage with him and I know the fans won’t be disappointed. I took this fight because I knew it would push me to my limits and that’s how exciting fights are made. I don’t take fights looking for an easy win to pad my record. I’m here to push and challenge myself. My past three opponents have a combined record of 12-4. Expect nothing less than a battle in that cage.”

"NEF 46: Dekade van oorheersing” vind Saterdag plaas, Februarie 12, 2022, by Aura in Portland, Maine. Die geleentheid sal NEF se tienjaar-herdenking herdenk. Deure open om 6 nm met eerste geveg by 7 nm. Kaartjies is nou te koop bywww.Ticketmaster.com.

MURRAY VS FAULKNER SET TO CLASH FOR WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (November 23, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, "NEF 46: Dekade van oorheersing,” on Saturday, Februarie 12, 2022, by Aura in Portland, Maine. Die geleentheid sal NEF se tienjaar-herdenking herdenk. Die voorste streekpromosie is op Februarie van stapel gestuur 11, 2012. Vroeër vandag, NEF het die byvoeging van 'n amateurkampioenskapwedstryd tot die gevegskaart aangekondig. Former NEF Lightweight Contender“Magic” Mike Murray(3-2) is scheduled to move up in weight to faceZach Faulkner (4-1) for the currently vacant NEF Welterweight Championship at a fight weight of 170 pond. The Championship was recently vacated when former title holder Mike Bezanson (5-0) publicly stated that he will be turning professional in his next bout.

Mike Murray has dazzled fans since he made his NEF debut in June 2019. After rattling off impressive back-to-back first-round rear-naked-choke submission victories in his first two fights, Murray faced off against Zac Richard (1-0) for the then vacant NEF Lightweight Championship. After a lively five-round fight, Murray lost a decision to Richard. Murray rebounded with a win in Florida. Murray recently retired from a successful service career in the US Marine Corps.

“I’m extremely grateful and excited to be back after two years outside of the cage, and to be given the opportunity to fight for the 170-pound title against an absolutely game opponent,” Murray stated. “I personally feel like we are each other’s best match up after seeing his striking and jiu jitsu in his last fight. I’ve been two years out of the cage, but not two years out of the fight. This past summer alone, I went undefeated in Muay Thai, and had 15 jiu jitsu matches, and placed increasingly higher in each tournament. My prediction for this fight is that it’ll be the most entertaining amateur fight on this card – if not this year. I’ve been putting in the work to be the most lethal version of myself, and I believe this is the best I’ve ever been coming into a fight. There’s no animosity going into this one, this is purely two dogs getting locked in a cage. I’m so thrilled to be a part of this incredibly special 10-year anniversary card. This will for sure be a night to remember.”

Zach Faulkner made his triumphant NEF debut in 2017 by “NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” and has remained perfect inside the NEF hexagon ever since. He most recently won a unanimous decision victory over Curtis Ouellette (1-3) last August at “NEF 44” in New Hampshire. He trains with Jon Deupree (1-0) at Recon Fitness in Westbrook, Maine.

“I’m super excited to not only have the opportunity to fight for the NEF welterweight title, but also to be able to fight on such a big card against a tough, game opponent,” Faulkner stated. “Winning would mean a lot to me because it would show that my fight journey is moving in the right direction and show that I’m ready to start to think about moving up to the next level.”

C-Cris “cyborg” (25-2, 1 NC) verslaan #5-Sinead Kavanagh (7-5) via KO (stakings) by 1:32 van die eerste ronde

Cris “Cyborg:"

“I didn’t do anything we planned. You never know. I had a feeling about the fight. Ek voel 'n groot. I am happy with the win.”

“I knew she was more of a striker, so I went to the ground game. The right hand did it fast and was the key. I was very excited for the count.”

“I really appreciate Kayla Harrison coming to the fight. If she wants to fight me one day, that would be great.”

#6-Linton Vassell (22-8, 1 NC) verslaan #5-Tyrell fortuin (11-2, 1 NC) via split besluit (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Linton Vassell:

“I am happy that I was able to out grapple a wrestler considering I’m from the U.K. and I have no wrestling background”

“I give myself a good 7. I am not 100 percent happy with my performance, but I am super happy with the outcome.”

“I was able to reverse him (Tyrell fortuin), get on top of him, and add some damage.”

“I used to watch WWE. When I first started to train, I did wrestling moves like that.”

“I always feel like we’re our own worst enemies. I wanted a knockout.”

“Tyrell was so strong and powerful. There were a few times where he just stood up and shook me off.”

“I went for the submission. I just carried on and tried to wear him down but couldn’t do it.”

#6-Aaron Pico (9-3) verslaan #8-Justin Gonzales (12-1) via 'n eenparige besluit (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)

Aaron Pico:
“I knew going into the fight that he (Justin Gonzales) was going to be a tough fighter. He is a former wrestler. One thing about us wrestlers is we don’t quit. All my coaches knew he was going to be tough.”

“He was just holding on to me and is really strong. When people hold on to you, it’s kind of hard to get strikes.”

“Thank God I walked out of here relatively healthy. I’m just happy I got my full paycheck.”

“It is the first time I’ve gone three rounds. It’s my first decision. I need the experience. I’m happy I got the win.”

“I knew I was the dominant performer, but I have to get better. I am just so hard on myself. I want to finish guys.”

“Let’s go back to the drawing board. Once I step out of this cage, it’s going to be a whole different ballgame. I have to get prepared for the next opponent, so let’s get to work.”

#1-Arlene Blencowe (15-8)verslaan #7-Pam Sorenson (9-4) via 'n eenparige besluit (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Arlene Blencowe:

“I am my own worst critic. It wasn’t the performance that we trained for, or that I was hoping for.”

“I felt my first right hand land and then just went head hunting with my hands. I was respecting her take downs.”

“I feel like I’m such a well-rounded fighter now. I didn’t showcase any of that. I didn’t hit the ground though.”

“You know what is not next? Retirement. Ek is 38. Old girls rule. Retirement is nowhere near on the horizon. I’m No. 1 in the division. It is only up from here.”

“I’m heading home to Australia. I haven’t been home in six months. I haven’t seen my kids, my partner, my familie, my vriende. I’m just going to go home and enjoy the rest of the year. I’ll just enjoy some family time.”

“Pam Sorenson is a tough girl. She tried to take me down. I went head hunting and really wanted the knockout. I am convinced that I did enough to win the fight.”
