WHO: The first British World Champion in the history of MMA will always be Liam McGeary. At 6’6 the towering fighter has achieved notoriety around the world with his impressive skillset, which has seen him end fights with impressive knockout power as well as jiu-jitsu prowess. Currently undefeated at 11-0, fremtiden er lys for Bellator MMA Champion. Sist, McGeary defeated Tito Ortiz in the main event of the groundbreaking “Bellator MMA: Dynamite en.”

 

Navnet Gracie er synonymt med MMA, and that is largely in part to Royce Gracie, mannen som er ansett for å ha oppfunnet den sporten som vi kjenner det i dag. The winner of the first several UFC events, Gracie skulle demontere flere motstandere i en enkelt natt, many of which were much larger than him. For many years there was no answer for the Gracie Jiu Jitsu technique that he brought into a fight. I dag, det er vanskelig å finne en MMA fighter som ikke har trent i kunsten jiu jitsu. Sist, Gracie defeated Ken Shamrock in the main event of the record-breaking “Bellator 149.”

One of the most recognizable MMA fighters of all time, Hall of Famer Randy Couture transitioned nicely into the entertainment world after his fighting career, starring in several television shows and movies, most notably the Expendables franchise and Dancing with the Stars. Inside the cage, Couture was a fearless underdog, often defeating men with great size advantages. “The Natural” was a multi-time heavyweight and multi-time light heavyweight champion in the UFC.

When watching any combat sports event, it’s odd not to see Jacob “Stitch” Duran as the professional cutman on duty. Nylig, Bellator MMA was pleased to exclusively secure his services as cutman for the foreseeable future, after “Stitch” signed a multi-year contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion. “Stitch” is seen everywhere combat sports events take place, and played a vital role in the recent smash blockbuster, “Creed.”

If there is one legend in attendance who knows a thing or two about kickboxing and MMA, det er Cung Le. Born in Vietnam, Le fought 17 times around the globe and never lost before making the leap from kickboxing to MMA, where he won the Strikeforce middleweight championship. Derfra, the San Jose, Calif. – based fighter would continue to expand his recognition past the world of combat sports, starring in multiple feature films. Le remained competitive into his 40’s, finishing Rich Franklin in what was unanimously considered the 2012 knockout of the year.

 

A legend in the heavyweight division, Mark Coleman was the UFC 10 og UFC 11 tournament champion, the promotion’s first Heavyweight Champion, and the Pride Fighting Championships 2000 Open Weight Grand Prix champion. The accolades don’t stop there; Coleman represented the United States at the 1992 Summer Olympics and won gold medals at the Pan American Championships in freestyle wrestling in 1990, 91 og 92.

FIGHT INFO: "Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo” foregår på Mai 14, and airs LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 8 pm. OG/7 pm. CT and features a light heavyweight main event of Phil Davis versus King Mo.

Billetter starter på bare $30 og er i salg nå på Bellator.com, Ticket, and the SAP Center Box Office.

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF MMA DEBUT ON CAPE COD

Legg igjen en kommentar

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Mai 3, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF) USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, avholder sitt neste arrangement, "NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE” on Lørdag, Mai 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the main event of the fight card. Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) has signed to face Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (4-3) in a professional bout at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Brendan Battles is a native of Eastham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. There, he was a three-time All American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. During his high school career, Battles captured a total of two state championships and three New England championships with an amazing 161 wins to his credit prior to graduating in 2012. A multi-sport athlete, he later played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut. Battles made his NEF debut earlier this year at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” when he efficiently dispatched of Mike Hansen’s Berserkers teammate, Dave Smith (2-2) in the first round via TKO ref stoppage. Battles trains out of Gracie Fitness and is a member of Team Juniko based out of Hyannis.

 

“I look forward to Mike coming down to my backyard for my first professional fight,” said Battles. “I know he is a tough fighter, but I look forward to showcasing the skills I have acquired thus far as I continue my journey to become a well-rounded MMA fighter.”

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. Hansen has become known for taking tough fights against opponents that he is generally undersized next to. Less than two weeks ago, he defeated former top-tanked amateur light heavyweight Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-2) via first round submission at “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE.” Always up for a challenge, Hansen requested the opportunity to face Battles in his highly anticipated professional debut.

 

“I like this fight because I get to fight in Massachusetts again,” stated Hansen. “I made my pro debut at Club Lido at the ‘Wonderland’ Blue Line stop just over a decade ago. I rode the ‘T’ from Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 i første runde. Jumping up two weight classes sucks, but I’ve competed at this weight many times. Battles is a very accomplished athlete with a stacked resume. With only three minutes of cage time, I think it’s time Battles was in the cage with someone ready to fight. I will gladly welcome Battles to the professional ranks and see how he stacks up. I’m going to stand right in front of him and make him beat me up and, if he can, han er en god fighter. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. Mai 14th, we will have a fight my friend!"

 

"NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE," tar plass Lørdag, Mai 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Tickets for “NEF 23” are $40 for generell studiekompetanse og $60 for cageside. They are on sale now at www.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets

RFA IS GOING TO CHICAGOLAND WITH RFA 39 – BARCELOS vs. MOFFETT

Legg igjen en kommentar

MAIN EVENT:
Raoni BARCELOS
vs.
BOBBY “THE WOLFMAN” MOFFETT
FEATHERWEIGHT verden tittel
Fredag, JUNE 17th LIVE on AXS TV
LIVE at THE HAMMOND CIVIC CENTER
in HAMMOND, INDIANA
Billetter i salg nå på CAGETIX.com

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – Oppstandelse Fighting Alliance (RFA) president Ed Soares announced today that the RFA will be making its first trip to Chicagoland in June with a championship headliner. Den viktigste hendelsen i RFA 39 features the first title defense of RFA featherweight champion Raoni Barcelos. He will put his title on the line against top prospect and local favorite Bobby “The Wolfman” Moffett. RFA 39 – Barcelos vs. Moffett takes place Fredag, June 17th at the Hammond Civic Center in Hammond, Indiana. The main card will be televised live and nationwide on AXS TV at 10 pm. OG / 7 pm. PT.
“I’m excited about bringing a world title fight to Hammond” Uttalte Soares. “Our Featherweight champion Raoni Barcelos will defend his title for the first time against number one contender Bobby Moffett. These are two of the top featherweight prospects in the world and it’s the perfect way to show fight fans in the Chicago area what the RFA is all about.”
Billetter til RFA 39 – Barcelos vs. Moffett are now available for purchase. You can support your favorite fighter buy purchasing your tickets through CAGETIX.com
Barcelos (9-1) will defend his RFA featherweight title for the first time after enjoying a dominant 2015, which many MMA pundits saw coming several years ago. Barcelos was pegged for greatness in MMA before ever stepping foot inside a steel cage. The son of Jiu-Jitsu coral (red-and-black) belt Laerte Barcelos, he began learning “The Gentle Art” at age two. Deretter, unlike many Jiu-Jitsu black belts, Barcelos found success in Freestyle Wrestling where he competed as a member of the Brazilian National Wrestling Team. Men, his rare blend of high-level grappling disciplines isn’t what makes him special among top MMA prospects. It is the fact he possesses ample striking power that can also get the job done. This is evident in the fact that more than half of his victories have come via KO or TKO, which includes the first round KO of previously undefeated NCAA Division I All-American wrestler Jamal Parks at RFA 23. Barcelos is now looking to do the same to another top prospect as he prepares for his first RFA title defense.
“I am very happy to defend my RFA world title at RFA 39,” uttalte Barcelos. “RFA shows the best new MMA talent in the world and it is now televised live here in Brazil. My friends, familie, and teammates now have the opportunity to watch me fight live on Esporte Interativo. It’s a dream come true and an honor to be a champion of a great event like the RFA. This belt is coming back home to Brazil with me in June.”
Moffett (8-1) is coming into this fight with a lot of momentum. He is riding a four-fight win streak, which includes a victory over longtime RFA vet Dan Moret at RFA 24. Moffett was born and raised 10 miles from the venue just across the state border in Homewood, Illinois. The task of defending home turf and capturing the RFA featherweight title has only increased the hunger of this exciting young prospect. This is a hunger “The Wolfman” will need as he faces the most dangerous opponent in his career. To quote the classic 2010 film that shares his nickname, “I didn’t know you hunted monsters? Sometimes monsters hunt you.” Moffett is now eager to channel his inner lycanthrope at RFA 39.
“I am just very grateful that the biggest fight of my career will be at home in front of my family and friends,” Moffett explained. “I feel that everything I’ve been working for has now come to fruition. Barcelos is a tough. He’s a very good fighter and the champion. I’m honored that he wants to fight me. I’m looking forward to taking the next step in my career by winning the RFA title on June 17th.”
The full fight card for RFA 39 – Barcelos vs. Moffett will be announced soon. This will be the RFA’s first event to take place in “The Hoosier State” of Indiana and it will be the fifteenth state that the RFA has visited. Hele hovedkortet av RFA 39 vil bli sendt direkte og landsomfattende på AXS TV på 10 pm. OG / 7 pm. PT dette Fredag, June 17th.

Art of War Fighting Championship 17 Update – Ashleigh Grimshaw replaces Injured Junior Assuncao in Main Event

Legg igjen en kommentar

BEIJING, CHINA – A welterweight matchup between UFC and Bellator veteran Waylon Lowe and British Mixed Martial Artist Ashleigh Grimshaw will headline Art of War 17 this Saturday night in Beijing China. Grimshaw is late replacements for UFC vet Junior Assuncao who suffered a training injury and had to pull out of his fight with Lowe on short notice last week.

Said Lowe, a three time NCAA wrestling champion who is currently 16-6 as a professional fighter, “It’s unfortunate that Junior had to drop out of the fight but I’m glad the promoters found another high caliber opponent for me to face. Ashleigh Grimshaw and I will put on a great show for all the Chinese MMA fans on April 30th Art of War 17.”

CEO and Chinese MMA pioneer Andy Pi had this to say about this weekend’s event and his company’s return as the dominant player in Chinese MMA, “We are very excited about this next event as it continues Art of War’s reemergence as the biggest force in Chinese Combat Sports.“

Mr. Pi, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Brown Belt and noted entrepreneur in Beijing, says his visionary fighting league is the future of MMA in China. “Art of War Fighting Championships was the first Mixed Martial Arts event in Mainland China and is still the most prestigious. With every event our company will continue to develop the market for MMA in China.”

Today China is the biggest untapped market for MMA and Mr. Pi says he knows why and, more importantly, how Art of War FC can capitalize.

“MMA is the most exciting sport in the world, but the way it’s promoted in the US often doesn’t connect with more traditionally minded Chinese sports fans. By combining the energy and excitement MMA with the ancient culture of honor and respect typical of traditional Asian Martial Arts AOW will bring the 21st century’s fastest growing sport to the world’s largest market of sports fan in a new and more powerful way…”

Chile nyeste medlem av World MMA Association

Legg igjen en kommentar
MONTE CARLO, Monaco (April 26, 2016) — World MMA Association (WMMAA) har kunngjort at Chile er det nyeste medlemmet av sin verdensomspennende sammenslutning.
Det chilenske MMA -forbundet (Den chilenske føderasjonen av MMA) er sertifisert av det nasjonale idrettsdepartementet. Den indre strukturen vil bestå av 15 grener, representerer en for hver region i Chile. Det er for tiden åtte MMA -organisasjoner med et mål om å forene alle under paraplyen til Føderasjonen.
Forbundet har utviklet MMA på forskjellige måter, fra å arrangere regionale amatørmesterskap i MMA til å gjennomføre seminarer og utdanne offiserer. Den chilenske MMA -føderasjonen ledes av president Alberto Maturana Rodriguez og visepresident Christian Parra Campos.
“Det er kritisk for en organisasjon som vår å eksistere, å legge til upartisk struktur ikke bare for idrettsutøvere, men også som regulerende organer,” Rodriguez (bildet til høyre) sa. “Mye fortsetter å skje siden vi ble utnevnt. Vi har nettopp feiret vårt første arrangement under WMMAA Pan-American Division, og vi gleder oss til å bruke vår erfaring og kunnskapsvolum Pan-American Division, så vel som vår ærespresident Tomas Yu,bringer til Chile og sporten. Vi deler visjonen og med all vår innsats, vi vil forsvare, fremme og godkjenne MMA som en sport, og gi alle deltakere og fans en betydelig forskjell i sporten.
“Vi vil fortsette å vokse med hvert nytt land og ta MMA -bevegelsen, samt anerkjennelsen av MMA som en sport, framover. Vi vil jobbe som en familie med den panamerikanske divisjonen for å støtte denne sporten i Chile. Vi er glade for å ha blitt utnevnt og ser frem til denne muligheten til å bidra til WMMAA for å fortsette kampen og lage historie i Chile og MMA -verdenen.”
Chile er nå medlem av WMMAAs panamerikanske divisjon, sammen med Argentina, Brasil, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Paraguay og Venezuela.
“På vegne av World MMA Association Pan-American Division, Vi vil gratulere og ønske det chilenske MMA -føderasjonen velkommen med den siste utnevnelsen som vårt nye foreløpige tilknyttede selskap,” la Yu til (avbildet til venstre), President i Pan-American Division. “I dette WMMAA -året med monumental fremgang, der vi skal feire vår fjerde verdensmester i MMA -foreningen i november i Macao, det vil nå tillate oss å fokusere på vårt første Continental MMA Championship.
“Det er viktig å reflektere over hvordan WMMAA -bevegelsen vil fortsette å vokse i en ny æra av MMA. WMMAA -bevegelsen er i hovedsak en pedagogisk bevegelse, og av denne grunn oppfordrer vi hendelser som National Continental og International MMA Championships til å fremme MMA -utvikling, blant alle aldre deltakere, spesielt ungdom gjennom sport, MMA og WMMAAs oppførselskodeks. La oss bygge sammen for en fredelig og bedre verden. La oss strebe etter å gi og utdanning for alle innen sport, MMA og WMMAA idealer spiller en viktig rolle, basert på verdier, respekt, verdighet, toleranse og solidaritet.”
