Domus Field Commodum: Fan Favorite Sean O'Malley Bulldozes Sterlingensi UFC 292, Chris Weidman's Redi Sparks Disputatio de Retirement, Catona vs. Gibson Earns pugna noctis…et multo magis ex reditu UFC in Bostono die Sabbati proximo

By: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 primus Suspendisse eventus attendi in 16 annis. Sicut MMA scriptor notissimus pro scandalo exponendo Xyience (vide www.xyiencesucks.com), Efodi veterem Xyience hat ad memoriam occasionem. Olim UFC est sponsor fecundissimus, Xyience nunc imprimis est societas energiae bibendae et ne cum aliquo MMA foedus amplius misceatur. Supervacuum dicere, Solus eram in tota arena ludicra Xyience merch ..

Ego tesseras hoc tempore mea pretium, sed quid UFC meum cogitare non potui 292 usus fuisset sicut si mea UFC 78 experientia, pretium a Xyience, multo aliter evenerat mihi paene 16 years ago.

Plura ruminabo in historia propria propriae Bostoniensis adventus et mutationes quas vidi pro UFC inter ultimam pugnam quam observavi et hanc in nova particula quam scribere instituo. www.paythefighters.com. Subsisto tuned quod, sed primum veniamus ad UFC constructum pugnae card pro nocte sabbati.

Incepit fabula duorum Silvas flyweight: Karine Silva et Natalia Silva. Eae finitae concertationes duabus Silvarum duobus modis vincit, sed quisque pugnator dominatur in singulis generibus. Karine Maryna Moroz misit cum ultimo secundo guillotino suffocat ante finem primi circum. Initium phantasticum fuit ad spectaculum quod paucos cacumina et valles habebat usque ad valorem oblectamenti alicuius par-ups.. Natalia tempus accepit et ludum Andream Lee e longinquo plures certaminis seorsum sustulit. Illa ad unanimum consilium cauta et cauta est cum intentione.

Next, controversiae scissurae decisionem diss-factorum ventus pugnatori Andre Petrovski lucrandum in Gerald Meershaert dedit.. Petrovski non videtur habere cardio pendere cum veterano condito Meerschaert. Omnia quae in hac pugna defuerunt erant summae potentiae a Meershaert ad Petrovski descendendo et extrahendas redactae. Uterque pugnatores suos momenta, at mihi evidens videbatur Geraldus pugnator efficacior et validior fuit. Solus erat unus ex victimis latrociniis adfabilis a judicibus Saturni nocte, postquam luculenter vicit pugnam technicam imprimis. Tangit sempiterni sparsi subinde visus Meerschaert venationibus magis favebant.. Certe vincere meruit. De alia rapina paris qua- les paulo postea loquemur.

Par Ultimate Pugnator Finale pugnat deinde cum Bantamweights Brad Katona et Cody Gibson recalcitrat promerendo "Pugnam Noctis" honores. Eorum pedis-to-toe kickboxing match that rarely hit the ground for very long certainly had the crowd of the start up to finish.. Katona finita est altera velocior in ducatur et satis acuta cum pungit et calculis ad captandum in exiguo ubi saepe habuit unum bonum ferrum ad terram duo ex suis .. Gibson eventus accurationis Brad in facie pulsata in finali bell gerebat, sed magnam etiam promeruit reverentiam ob eius inexhaustionem accessus ab utraque turba et ordinatione. UFC ambo pugnatores pro suis conatibus locaverunt pro solo nutu victor questus.

Kurt Holobaugh pugnare amicum et commilitonem Team Chandler pugnator Austin Hubbard in PERFUSORIUS ultimo. Pugna magis incepit Hubbard quam finivit. Tandem post brevem sensum e processu, Holobaugh momentum abstulit et mox phaenomenum trianguli Choke munivit 2:39 in secundo frame. Uterque bellatores suos dominandi momenta, sed erat Holobaugh cingulum nigrum jiu jitsu artes quae per noctem et TUF tropaeum vici..

Gregorius Rodrigues absolute demolitus est Russian Dennis Tiuliulin in pugna media quae Beantown turba decantans "USA" breviter dum radicans pro pugnatore Brasiliensi. "Robocop" turbae auxilio potitus est et celeriter clamores eorum obligavit suis artibus perfectis in plena pompa. Rodrigues coincidentaliter paulum spectat sicut character principalis in Netflix's "The Lincoln Lawyer","Si ratio bulked paucis circumeuntibus steroids". Rodrigues certe legem deposuit et Russicam in ignaram cum machinis exquisitis inlisit.. Tulit uno momento et sicut 43 secundis ad turbam ultimam sistendum usque ad eventum.

Quinque recta consilia secuta est, monstruosi cruris collocatione duobus placuit perfectis victoribus calcibus. Acerrima illarum duarum rerum ad speculandum vigilias erat Chris Weidman praeludia consummans, cum Brad Tavares in praelio mediante puniendo.. Weidman, Regrediens ex vitioso Flexilis gallinacei cruris iniuriam ubi plantare conatus est in crure omnino fracto contra Uriam Hall, vidi ferrugineo esse. Omnis takedown conatus facile per Tavares saginari videbatur.

Omnis commutatio pulsandi parum videbatur, sero Weidman ex assidua crure calcibus piperis et crus cum iniuria veteri et alterum crus Weidman pro mensura reverti. Etiam scissa MCL vel ACL (secundum Dana White qui Weidman cedere post pugnam coegit), Weidman obvenit Tavares circa caveam et conatus est optimum sumere pugnam ad eum non obstante busted rota. Tavares vicit valde opportuna et captiosus pugna, propediem totam turbam pro-Weidman sperans miraculum illud REGRESSUS effectum quod numquam venit.

Marlon "Chito" Vera et Pedro Munhoz principale card aperuerunt cum negotio uno latere ostendens patientiam Verae, percusso acumine, ac fere ars perfecta-. Munhoz pugnam in pedes, sed multa damna facialis pertulit illic questus. Chito in praesidio tutus plures praedurae mansit et pauca pericula in via ad omnium suorum arbitrium conciliandum suscepit. Aditus et celeritas Verae videbatur utilissimas utilitates, quibus contra breviores et breviores et Munhozres erant. Vera, taediosum sit interdum vigilare, probavit meretur suum bantamweight titulo offa.

Tertium-rectum consilium Mario Bautista unanimi consensu controversiae valde controversiae de Da'Mon Blackshear . conciliavit. Bautista ancipiti e terra termini Blackshear, at Blackshear accuratior fuit in insigni et exposito gravioris momenti ferit in exiguo tenui. Ego certe putavi eum satis vincendum esse, sed iudices non eodem modo pugnam videbant et certamen ad Bautistam.

Ian Garry et Neil Magny in certamine welterweight proximo concurrerunt. Magnus cor tremendum ostendit in recepto post omnem colaphum, sed non potuit superare calcibus assiduis cruris a Garry proiectis. Referendarius Keith Peterson prope aliquoties subsistens praedura, Sed Magy faciebat tantum ut custodirent, circumsiliens crure interdum. Garry percussio erat sicut in puncto sicut eius nugae fabulae, spiritum Nate Diaz evocare cum paucis gestibus manu bene opportuno. Turba suam continuam dominationem celebravit cum Garry narrans de desiderio suo ut optimus pugnator super faciem terrae aliquando in oratione sua post pugnam. Magna magna respondere debebit suis recentibus certaminibus si vult in UFC manere.

Weili Zhang et Amanda Lemos quadratus in heroicis titulo pugna altera. Lemos fere duobus miris volutpat conatus impetravit, at titulus stramenti gravis in quaestionem vertitur utrum Lemos superesse possit usque ad campanulam finalem necne. Zhang showcased ei talenta in omnibus eius locis peritia, et Lemos nonnisi sperat se per coniugum vincendi viam Ave Maria submissione conatus Zhang obrepsisse e. Zhang celeritas, potentia et vetustas Lemos oppressit et luctantem reliquit ad sistendum per multum posteriorum circuitus vitandum. Nescio quomodo rexit facere, ingens moles dampnum suo modo. Zhang abierat retinens titulum, multum ad oblectationem nisl qui eam per totam pugnam adiuvit.

Tandem, summa res venit, tum noctis. Sean O'Malley primum arenam ingressus est, et turba orta est. Multi ex eis luserunt virides vel roseos calvos ut vultus signature O'Malley imitarentur. O'Malley honeste vidi satis petrificatum, quasi ne nocte quidem dormiat ante eventum. Aljamain Sterlingus caveam ingressus ad chorum libellis conatus est contemnere evagationem turbae in more suo boo..

Primum circuitus spectaculi pedis ex utroque pugnatoribus maxime fuit. caput ludi O'Malley in Sterling elaboraverunt, quod in colloquiis ante pugnam pollicitus est se primum suorum TKO. Potius quam maximis viribus confidere, lucta, Sterling O'Malley in suo ludo verberare voluit. Quod malum belli evasit, res Sterlingensi tandem percepit tempus quod in falsa parte TKO . finivit. O'Malley demittere conatus erant, et omnes omnino saginati. Sterlingius complicatum et in carbasa cecidit postquam percussum est primo in secundo circum ferrum contra O'Malley. Reliqua historia fuit ut "O'Malley "Suga spectaculum" cum nonnullis locis McGregor-esque et libra clausit.

Ambo pugnatores magnas post pugnam orationes dederunt, verum ad formare. Sterlingus in clade gratiosus fuit et reverentiam ostendit O'Malley conantem suum somnium attingere. Considerans Sterlingus ante pugnam O'Malley reprehendit quod pet inceptum Dana White non sit dignus titulo iecit, erat ingens mea culpa. Also, si quidem omnes de faventibus per Mr. White, O'Malley Calvi patrem titillavit ostendens se velle pugnare Boxer Gervonta Davis magis quam alius pugnator UFC actualis..

Sicut solum secundum Danaes White Contender Series Pugnator ad earn orbis terrarum titulum, O'Malley certos suos ictus aliquo modo vocare potest, sed transversim caestus valde sensibilis est in evestigio Francisci Ngannou nuper faciendo fluctus ad tergum e contractu suo UFC et signans ad pondus gravem caestu par cum Tyson Fury qui curriculum vitae UFC passibus mille passibus eclipsat.. Solus Conor McGregor persuadere UFC aes valuit ut omnia in certamine in pugilatu tam longe transiret.. Dana White consilia tentativa prorsus abrasit ut "Zuffa Boxing" crearet suos pugnatores velle imitari McGregor's profile, financial semita record et audax locuto qui meruit ei occasionem pugnandi Mayweather in exhibitione praedura palaestrae.

Saepe, ut Dana Alba attentionem et observantiam, Pugnatores simpliciter se satis habent ad vendendum pro eo quod in magnas merces et tesseras venditiones suas stridore generatas transferendum est. Multum simile WWE, magnas personas et varia ingenia saepe vincere occasiones in UFC super athletis qui mox incumbunt in arte corporis sui facit. Ictus maxime favetur, quia in UFC significatum "specimen induunt" excellentiae vexillum impositum est omni pugnatori qui in caveam incedit.. Genus administrationis et carrots et baculum est ductus quod stulti pugnatores putant melius esse curriculis suis ut constanter prodire parum curas defensionis et periculosa pericula multo magis excitandos et delectandos esse quam certa pugna vincere necesse est..

Hic haedus O'Malley confitetur se Danai similem esse velle, comfortable satis financially ut bet $250,000 per immisso manus. Talentum specialissimum prior O'Malley sua persona stella ortu usus est ad notas proprias aedificandas et emendum societatem cupam suam.. Phasellus et Lamborghini habet, et adhuc maxime loquebatur et pugnatorem in ordinatione exclamavit etiam amisso proelio cum Dustin Poirier talem aequissimum et fracto crure paucis annis sidelined.. Quod O'Malley scire potest et internum est, se probabiliter numquam in gradu Conori adipisci sine ingenti crossover pugna in pugilatu libros loquitur de quibus UFC hodie est..

Genus progressionis est quam difficilem iocando scientibus quam difficile fuerit omnes negotiatores stipendii et contractus quaestiones in ius adferre sine advocatorum exercitu contra UFC's formidolosos legales turmas occurrere. Unus talis exercitus legalis nuper consecutus est praecedere ad persequendum actionem classis anti-fides causa pro super 1,200 pristini UFC pugnatores. Iudex in causa videtur iam querentibus consentire. Reactionem ad UFC genus-actio causa certificationis: Quid accidit?, et quid proximum?? (msn.com)

Quotiens ordo statisticis occurritur, qui reditus participes pugnantium ostendunt, minusculae cum aliis maioribus ludis cum consociationibus scaenicis comparantur., responsum est typice aliquid ad effectum de: "Tot nummorum nummorum fecimus". Pugnatores nostri faciunt sicut finis, et omnes occasiones oeconomicas plurimas obtinent, quas fama adiuvisti.

Ut peritus in historia oeconomica UFC et socius auditorii UFC 292, Adversus realitatem vitare non potui quod tot "UFC Nut-hgger" diurnarii omnia fimbria privilegiorum pressorum obtinerent quia tam bene cum illa mente "Zuffa Myth" ludunt.. Populares qui UFC in tabula subliminaliter suos fautores accessu et promissione famae et opportunitatis seducunt, et pugnatores et instrumenta communicationis socialis in theatralibus illis administrationis genere sorbentur. Rursus, non terminus sursum multum percontando renuntiationes in MMA media circulos, et pugnatores qui multum interrogant interrogant et condiciones contractus meliores postulant nec re-signatas nec erigunt cum prima pugna par-ups..

Praecipuum eventum evenit ut eventum rei mihi declararet quomodo UFC constanter umbilicum retinet in eorum supposita facultate superstres creandi modo ponendo pugnatorem signum aliquod contractum cum ordinatione.. Nonnulli consentiunt quod casu dicerent esse facultatem videndi satis ingenii in O'Malley ut eum in Dana White Contender Series duceret ad spectaculi ortum ad famam novi equitandi campi. Certe, O'Malley etiam in Boston Sabbati nocte non fuisset si numquam in ordinationem conscendisset. Autem, multa DWCS pugnantium fuerunt qui occasiones UFC plures non obtinuerunt quia amiserunt illam pugnam ingressuri.. O'Malley vincere et lucrari debebat ubi esset nocte Sabbati.

Punctum est: Sean O'Malley cultus sui fiducia et tremendi sui fiducia effectus propriae crucis personalis esse aliquem specialem infinita potentia et miris ingenii. Numquam etiam in colloquio esset titulus, si non omnibus inexplicabilis horis in gymnasio melius contenderet.. UFC non creavit Sean O'Malley, mox suggestum ei dederunt ut qualis ille pugnator esse posset. Et dum superstardom fruitur UFC sibi credet for, O'Malley solum scire habet modum quo modo potest augere promerendae suae potentiae est ipsam ordinationem eclipsis.. Ipse ire debet supra et ultra limites suos restrictivos ad risum ubi reditus participes multo melior est et homunculus sicut Franciscus Ngannou plus potest facere in una pugna quam fecit in tota vita UFC..

So, Si Dana White re vera fecit Sean O'Malley consilium suum petens sicut Aljamain Sterling suggessit, fecit magnum officium. Infeliciter, monstrum creavit ut redeat eum in detegere mordere. Alius UFC card pugillatus co-promotus nimis multos ex conductoribus suis eandem viam capere conatur et miratus est cur Danai pusillus buddy omnes fractiones et utilitates questus est.. Veterani et advenae utrumque probabile vide quid hyped usque Davis vs. O'Malley pugilatu par admissio a ducibus suis quod UFC non satis possunt suos pugnatores reddere ut eos in cavea custodiant.

"Kid", nescis quantum pecuniae amet facere,"Dana White nuntiavit O'Malley post win" secundum recentem colloquium O'Malley. Opinor in eius capite, Dana conplevit cogitationem “nobis.”

BELLATOR MMA 291 MAIN CARD RESULTS:

  (C) Yaroslav Amosov(27-0) victum #1-Logan Storley(14-1) via suasuri (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. Autem, I relaxat. 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, amici mei; 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]. Scilicet [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. Hes [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, sed paratus sum [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. Cum spar, many people watch and I think it’s beautiful.”

#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) victum #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) via suasuri (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, Puto. I made mistakes on the rehydration. I was really dryI wasn’t sweating, but I felt exhausted there; my gas tank’s [plerumque] 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, Ego quasi, ‘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. I’m coming. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, Ego quasi: 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. Faciamus,. We can go ASAP. I’ll fight him in any corner of the world, in any timeframe.”

Bryce Logan(12-8) victum #10-Peter Queally(12-8) via TKO (pugnis) at 2:32 rotundi duo

#3-Sinead Kavanagh(9-5) victumJanay Harding(6-7) via suasuri (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, quod est magnus. I put on a clinic. I knew she was a striker, so I showed in there what I’ve done for the last 12 weeks. All is good.”

On a Potential Rematch with Cris Cyborg: “That’s two great wins, and I put on a show both times. Paratus sum. Volo [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 minutes [in] illic. Good strikes. My power was there. 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) victumLeonardos Sinis(11-6-1) via suasuri (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. Respice, 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, July. Those decisions, all of my decisions, I had 10-8 rounds. 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, Sentio. 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

PRIMUS DE LIBERO: Bangor, Maine (November 14, 2022) - Pugnat New England (NEF) returns to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on February 11, 2023, with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event “NEF 51: Banger in Bangor.” The fight promotion has announced an amateur title fight for the card.Key Baltazar (2-0) est scheduled ad faciemNate 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, February 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 seconds. 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) at 145 libras.

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 primi circuitu.

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) at 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. Instead, 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 seconds.

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 primi circuitu.

Teddy Politis (3-1) TKO’d Aaron Rodriguez (0-1) at in secundo circuitu 1:23.

NEF announced that its next card is set for Saturday, February 11, 2023 at Cross Insurance Center 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

Friday night’s Bellator 278 will be a special event free for current military, veteranos, and first responders. Matchups and additional details for the event will be announced shortly.

Tickets for Saturday night’s Bellator 279: Pettis vs. Stots / Cyborg vs. Blencowe 2 go on sale this Friday, March 11 and can be purchased through Bellator.com, as well as Ticketmaster.com or the Neal S. Blaisdell Arena Box Office. A special presale will take place on Thursday, March 10.

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 December. 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 (bis), 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 praeferebantur featherweight. 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.

The preliminary bouts will stream live three hours earlier at7 p.m. ET / IV p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV.

In their historic initial matchup at the Forum in Inglewood, Ill., McKee stunned Pitbull by landing a punishing left leg kick to the head at 1:40 of the opening stanza atBELLATOR MMA 263on July 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 liminis frame.

“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, Ill., BELLATOR’s top-rated pound-for-pound fighter has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut three days following his 20th natalis. Armed with six knockouts and seven submissions, the Team Bodyshop product, quis avertet 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 career contests (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 (bis). 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. Apud 23 finishes in 37 professionalem pugnat, 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 on April 16, 2021. Exactly six months later atBELLATOR MMA 268, the Rockford, Ill., 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.
