The preliminary portion ofBELLATOR MMA 262has three confirmed tilts, with the news that former featherweight title challenger #2-Arlene Blencowe (13-8) byder velkommenDayana Silva (9-6) to the fray, heavyweight sluggersRonny markes (19-8) ogSagdeSowma (6-2) go to battle, and a featherweight bout pittingJohnny Soto (4-1) modAdilBenjilany (5-3, 1 NC) is now official. All the preliminary actionbegins at 6:30 p.m. OG / 3:30 p.m. PT and will stream live on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel and Pluto TV.

At one time best known for his collegiate wrestling prowess, Tyrell Fortune has vastly improved his striking as his budding professional MMA career has progressed, earning knockouts with his fists in six of his ten victories. Currently ranked in the top five of BELLATOR’s heavyweight division, Mitrione poses the stiffest test yet for the 30-year-old Arizona resident when he competes on the main card ofBellator 262. 

Entering the BELLATOR cage for the ninth time since signing with the promotion in 2016, former New York Giants football star Matt Mitrione will look to defeat the man 12 years his junior when he returns to action on July 16. Known for his heavy-handed, in-your-face style, Mitrione will be making the walk for the first time in 2021, following a defeat at the hands of current interim heavyweight title challenger Tim Johnson last year.

A former two-time light heavyweight title challenger, Linton Vassell recently returned to heavyweight where he has found immediate success, finishing both Ronny Markes and Sergei Kharitonov to solidify himself as the number four ranked big man in the division. A proud British fighter, “The Swarm” will be making his 15th promotional appearance atBellator 262,averaging nearly two fights a year since signing with the Scott Coker-led company in 2013.

A veteran of the UFC, 28-year-old Marcelo Golm inked a multi-fight contract with BELLATOR in April of this year. The Sao Paulo, Brazil native is currently riding a two-fight winning streak on the regional circuit, defeating D.J. Linderman by first-round TKO, and then submitting Brandon Hebert by second-round arm-triangle choke. With his upcoming booking against No. 4-ranked Vassell, it’s safe to say an emphatic victory will likely earn him top-ten ranking following his debut

Bellator 263 TAKES PLACE AT THE FORUM IN LOS ANGELES ON SATURDAY, Juli 31 – Live på SHOWTIME®

TICKETS FOR THIS MASSIVE EVENT GO ON SALE TOMORROW ATBELLATOR.COM

Et billede med tekst Beskrivelse genereret automatisk

LOS ANGELES — And then there were two…

What began with 16 featherweight athletes vying for a one-million-dollar grand prize and the BELLATOR Featherweight World Championship has been narrowed to the greatest BELLATOR athlete in the history of the promotionPatricio Pitbull (32-4) and the company’s best-ever homegrown fighter in No. 1 rangeretAJ McKee (17-0).

The culmination of the BELLATOR Featherweight World Grand Prix takes place Saturday, Juli 31 på The Forum i Inglewood, Calif., and marks the company’s first domestic event hosted away from “The Fightsphere” since February 2020.

Bellator 263: Pitbull vs. McKeesendes live på SHOWTIME kl 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT and tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, Juni 18 at BELLATOR.com and Ticketmaster.com with a pre-sale taking place on Thursday.

“This is without a doubt going to be the biggest BELLATOR fight of all time,” said BELLATOR President Scott Coker. “AJ McKee has been calling for a shot at Pitbull’s title since his very first professional victory inside our cage six years ago. Now he’s finally getting the opportunity to realize his dream of becoming a world champion against the winningest fighter in BELLATOR history. For Pitbull a win over McKee in this tournament final would be a statement piece to add to his long list of accolades and legacy as the best 145-pounder on the planet.”

Den ene halvdel af den berygtede Pitbull Brothers-duo, Patricio har længe været betragtet som kronjuvelen af ​​BELLATOR MMA, where he sits atop the pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable record of 32-4 with wins over elite competition including the likes ofPat Curran, John Archuleta, Daniel Weichel (x2) and most recently a second triumph over Emmanuel Sanchez, the 33-year-old stands alone as the featherweight king. Derudover, he was able to capture the Lightweight World Championship in a 2019 contest opposite Michael Chandler, bliver kun den anden BELLATOR-atlet, der har to titler samtidigt. Med 23 slutter i 36 professionelle kampe, Pitbull has shown time and time again that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

With a perfect record of 17-0, AJ McKee has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut at the ripe age of 20-years-old. With an even six knockouts and six submissions, the now-26-year-old McKee has shown a knack for securing finishes—and fast—with nine coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every man who has opposed him including former champions Pat Curran, Georgi Karakhanyan, og Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted most-recently with a rare, modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” Finally, the Long Beach native will face the man he has called for since signing with BELLATOR, as he takes on Patricio Pitbull in the much-anticipated Featherweight World Grand Prix Final.

The preliminary portion of the event streams live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, SHOWTIME Sports YouTube -kanal, as well as Pluto TV and features former featherweight title challenger and No. 2 rangeretEmmanuel Sanchez(20-5) versus Denmark’s No. 8 rangeretMads Burnell(15-3), a bantamweight tilt between No. 3 rangeretMagomed “Tiger” Magomedov(18-1) og nr. 4 Raufeon “Supa” Stots(16-1) and a lightweight affair pitting undefeatedUsman Nurmagomedov (12-0) modManny Muro(12-6).

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Milford, New Hampshire (Juni 9, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) returns with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021 at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire. The show will feature both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card.Nathanial Grimard(3-0) vil tage påBrandon “BAMF” Maillet-Fevens(3-1) for the vacant NEF Amateur Featherweight Championship.

Grimard and Maillet-Fevens were originally scheduled to meet at “NEF 43” last year until the event was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grimard has not let the global pandemic slow down his fight aspirations. With New England states closed for MMA events, Grimard ventured south to Florida last February and again just last week, picking up back-to-back wins to open his amateur career at a perfect 3-0. The Exeter, New Hampshire native represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire, hvor han træner under UFC og Bellator veteran, og tidligere NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell.

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to fight for title,Sagde Grimard.  “I have been improving every fight, and I believe I have the skills and hard work to win the belt. I can’t wait to show my improvements in the NEF cage. I expect to see the best version of Brandon, and I think we will put on a great fight for August 21st.”

“Nate is exactly what you’d want in a fighter,” said Grimard teammate and Nostos co-proprietor Carol Linn Powell.  “He does BJJ, striking, brydning, drills, styrke og konditionering, spars smart, even puts the Gi on. He has been working so hard for this sport and never stopped when the world did. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a title shot and I can’t wait to see him win that belt.”

Brandon Maillet-Fevens is one of the great comeback stories of NEF history. After losing his amateur debut at “NEF 36” in November 2018, Maillet-Fevens went on a three-fight win-streak, finishing all three of his opponents in those fights. In his most recent outing pre-pandemic, Maillet-Fevens defeated Tyler Knights (0-1) via second-round submission at “NEF 41” in November 2019. Maillet-Fevens represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, ME.

“It’s been a long year and half, but we never stopped working, never stopped perfecting our skills, because we knew this day was coming,” declared Maillet-Fevens.  “I think this is a very exciting matchup. You’ve got two proven finishers that are hungry to take that next step in our careers. I know we’re both ready to go in there, put on a great show, and leave it all in the cage. I’m grateful and excited for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to a great fight!"

“Brandon is one of those guys who shows up every day, works hard, never complains, and even when he’s not fighting he’s in the gym getting better and helping his teammates,” noted CMBJJ coach Jesse Erickson.  “He’s a role model for my up-and-comers. I’m very much looking forward to this contest!"

Tickets for “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/.  The MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, August 21, 2021, med en klokkeslæt af 7 pm.

Future Combat Sports Queen Amanda Serrano headlines iKON 7 MMA event this Friday

Efterlad en kommentar
LAS VEGAS (Juni 7, 2021) – Pure and simple, Amanda ”The Real Deal” Serrano is a true fighter, whether it’s in a cage, ring or on a mat. Someday, she could very well be legitimately known as the “Queen of Combat Sports.”

The 10-time, 7 division world boxing champion headlines this Friday night’s iKON 7, presented by iKON Fighting Federation, the mixed-martial-arts division of Roy Jones Jr. Boksning, at Benito Juarez Auditorium in Los Mochis, Sinaloa, Mexico.

She will face pro-debuting Valentia Garcia, Golf, i iKON 7 main event.

“It’s an honor to headline iKON 7,” Serrano said. “It is a fast-rising MMA organization that I plan to plant my flag on. My co-manager, Pearl Gonzalez, turned me on to it and so far, I’m loving my dealings with them.

“My first two opponents in MMA were also Mexicans and they were tough. I don’t want it any other way if I’m going to have people take me seriously in this sport. From what I understand, my opponent has striking experience but in MMA, you should never expect a particular style. Most are well rounded and regardless of their primary style, I’m ready for it.”

Serrano has conquered boxing and legitimately rates as one of the greatest female boxers of all-time, as well as a future Hall of Famer, sportslige en 40-1-1(30 KOS) pro rekord. She’s also 6-0 with in Jiu-Jitsu with five submissions.

“I was having a hard time getting good fights in boxing I wanted,” Serrano explained, “so, I asked my trainer/manager Jordan (Maldonado) started talking about MMA. A year before I debuted in MMA, I shot a movie, ‘Fight Valley’, in which both my sister, Cindy(Serrano), and I co-starred alongside Miesha Tate, Chris Cyborg og Holly Holm. During the filming we talked about helping each other train in our respective disciplines and yeah, it materialized but in way I became an MMA practitioner.

“Training is totally different. I took a year off from boxing just to learn the basics. I dag, I train everyday regardless of upcoming fights or not. There are a ton of things I still need to learn. I’m pretty much a workaholic and a sore loser, så, if I’m messing with it, I want it all! I’d love to one day fight for World title (i MMA) and become a champion in both sports at the same time. I have what it takes to do it if anyone does. I do want to switch the narrative as a striker and be known in MMA for my ground game.”

Siden hans professionelle MMA-debut i 2017, Aaron Pico er bredt blevet betragtet som en af ​​de lyseste udsigter i sporten. Jackson Wink-kæmperen har fremvist en brydningssans, der kan måle sig med de bedste i verden, kombineret med ond slagkraft, der har givet ham fantastiske KO-sejre med både venstre og højre hånd. Den 24-årige har vist stabil vækst hver gang ude i BELLATOR-buret og kører i øjeblikket en tre-kamps sejrsrække.

Kæmper for første gang på amerikansk jord, den 26-årige Lee ser ud til at sikre sig sin tredje sejr i træk inde i BELLATOR-buret. En undervurderet indsendelsesspecialist, englænderen tjente sin fjerde sejr i karrieren via nøgen choke bagfra mod Damian Frankiewicz og en fantastisk head-kick knockout mod Jeremy Petley i første runde af deres matchup i september sidste år.

Derudover, en weltervægtskamp mellem BELLATOR-veteranenKyle Crutchmer (6-1) og salgsfremmende debutantLevan Chokheli(9-0, 1 NC) er tilføjet som en foreløbig kamp.

I mellemtiden, Chokheli ser ud til at holde sin plade fejlfri, mens han gør et sundt første indtryk i sin BELLATOR-debut. Den 24-årige georgier kan prale af en imponerende 100% efterbehandlingshastighed, har aldrig set den sidste klokke i alle sine ni kampe.

Også tilføjet til det foreløbige kort, "The Boogeyman," Lance Wright(5-1) får sin BELLATOR-debut efter et imponerende show på den amerikanske regionale scene. Han får til opgave at kæmpeTaylor "Tombstone" Johnson (6-2), en tokampsveteran fra BELLATOR-buret.
