Joe Warren (13-4) vs. Darrion Caldwell (8-0)

Ahora, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Marcos Galvao early in 2015. La 2006 Pan American and World Champion in Greco-Roman competition, the 39-year-old will test himself against a young competitor who excels in the same skillset that Warren has used to his advantage for most of his career, lucha.

With five impressive outings in a little over a year and a half under the Bellator MMA umbrella, it was only a matter of time before “The Wolf” found himself in a position to compete for a world title. The next stop on the road to championship gold goes through Warren, a man who has held Galvao’s belt already. A standout on the wrestling team at NC State University, the 27-year-old Caldwell most recently submitted Shawn Bunch via rear-naked choke in the first frame, adding to his tally of finishes (4).

Fernando González (24-13) vs. Gilbert Smith (12-4)

González tomó una breve pausa de MMA para competir en la parte de kickboxing de la innovadora "Bellator MMA: Dinamita 1 " evento en septiembre, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul Daley "Semtex".

Un veterano de la promoción Strikeforce fundada por Scott Coker, así como World Extreme Cagefighting, González ha estado compitiendo profesionalmente desde 2003.

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Medianoche Magic” is on a bit of a roll of his own, coming into the promotion riding a two-bout winning streak. A veteran of UFC and most recently RFA, Smith won the regional promotion’s welterweight belt in June, defending the title one time before signing with Bellator.

Yamauchi arriba (19-2) vs. Bubba Jenkins (10-2)

The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 de su 19 wins as a professional by way of submission.

It’s hard to ignore Jenkins inside or outside the Bellator MMA cage, being that “The Highlight Kid” also doubles as a podcast host during his free time.

Kendall Grove (23-15) detenido Francisco Francia (13-4-1) with a vicious punch 35 segundos en la segunda ronda, winning by knockout.

Chuka Willis (7-2) entregó Gaston Reyno (5-1) the first defeat of his mixed martial arts career on Friday, ganar por decisión unánime (29-28, 30-27, 30-27).

The 29-year-old will be making his fourth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and has an impressive finishing rate of 83 por ciento.

With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has been given the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor is fresh off his emphatic knockout of HISAKI Kato en "Bellator 146: Manhoef vs. Kato” en noviembre. Now the 39-year-old is in position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, before returning to kickboxing competition in the newly founded Bellator Kickboxing league.

It’s hard to find a Bellator MMA fighter with as many memorable moments for the Scott Coker-led promotion as Pat Curran. The former featherweight kingpin has been involved in wars with fighters the likes of: current champion Daniel Straus, Patricio Freire, Daniel Weichel, y Joe Warren. Now “Paddy Mike” sets his sights on “Insane,” in a bout that surely has future title implications at stake.

Karakhanyan made a splash in his return to Bellator MMA in 2015, ahogando Bubba Jenkins in his first fight for the Viacom-owned promotion since 2011. Ahora, the Millenia MMA standout will put his knack for submitting opponents (14x) to the test against Curran, a fighter who has only been submitted once in 28-fights.

Conozca a Tomas Yu, vicepresidente de WMMAA

Febrero 26, 2016 FNU47 Deja un comentario

MONTE CARLO, Mónaco (Febrero 25, 2016)- Asociación Mundial MMA (WMMAA) vicepresidente Tomas Yu, de Albuquerque (NM), quien también es presidente de la división panamericana de WMMAA, se tomó un tiempo de su apretada agenda para abordar preguntas sobre su experiencia y antecedentes en MMA, el deporte de MMA y WWMMA en particular.

¿Puedes contarnos sobre ti y tu experiencia en las artes marciales??
TY: “Soy de la generación que creció viendo 3 Ninjas,tortugas Ninja… Yo quería ser un ninja! Crecí practicando Tae Kwon Do en México, todo el camino hasta mi cinturón negro. A la edad 18, Me aventuré a practicar Aikido y Judo en El Paso, Texas. Me encantaba aprender y siempre quise ser un estudiante completo., por eso siempre busqué artes diferentes para compensar las debilidades del otro.”

¿Cómo entraste por primera vez en el mundo de las MMA??
TY: “Realmente estaba buscando un lugar donde pudiera presentarle a mi hija las artes marciales.. Estaba buscando un arte marcial de autodefensa más completo, pero no un club de lucha.. Un buen amigo y pionero del deporte me introdujo en el deporte de las MMA., Chris Luttrell. Inmediatamente me vinculé al deporte, ya que eso es lo que en un momento dado están buscando todos los Artistas Marciales.”

¿Cuándo escuchó por primera vez sobre MMA y cuál fue su primera impresión?? Hizo
esperas que este deporte crezca tanto como ahora?
TY: “He tenido el privilegio de ver la evolución de MMA desde 1993 como un joven, todo el camino hasta ahora, convirtiéndose en el primer Presidente de la División Panamericana en la Organización de Regulación más importante de MMA en el mundo.”

¿Cuál es su función y actividades principales dentro de WMMAA??
TY “Mi función más importante es introducir principios comerciales simples en el deporte de MMA y mantener el arte marcial en MMA.. Lo que quiero decir con eso es, el denominador común de cada arte marital individual son (El respeto, Lealtad, Honor) y la mezcla de artes marciales no debería representar lo que la gente percibe hoy en día MMA. Debe ser una mezcla de respeto, Lealtad y Honor. Debería ser un deporte mucho más admirado.”

¿Cómo evaluaría el progreso de WMMAA durante sus tres años de existencia??
TY: “Bien, como emprendedor, Nunca estoy satisfecho, Siempre veo formas de hacer las cosas mejor pero la realidad es que, en el 25+ años MMA ha evolucionado y se ha convertido no solo en una mezcla de artes marciales, sino también en un verdadero deporte azul.. Muchas personas han intentado agregar valor al deporte sin un verdadero éxito hasta los últimos dos años con la WMMAA.”

¿Cuáles son los principales objetivos de WMMAA y cuáles son los principales obstáculos para la asociación??
TY: “Esta pregunta tiene una respuesta larga y complicada.! El obstáculo número uno es el orgullo., Me enorgullece admitir que el desempeño pasado o las fórmulas para agregar valor no funcionaron ni funcionarán. Orgulloso de admitir que trabajar juntos allanará un nuevo camino. El obstáculo número dos, ES ENTENDIENDO, entender el panorama general, como que la micro y la macroeconomía son realmente dos mundos diferentes.

“El deporte o arte de las MMA es mucho más de lo que vemos en televisión. Hay un impacto mucho más profundo en la sociedad que el pago por evento.”

¿Cómo valora el tercer Campeonato del Mundo que tuvo lugar en
Praga?

TY: “Momentos como estos son los que 3 Hace años soñamos con. Bien, el año pasado ese sueño se hizo realidad… encima 40 países participaron en la hermosa ciudad de Praga. No puedo explicar el choque de emociones cuando ves y escuchas que se anuncia un país tras otro mientras entran a la arena con la cabeza en alto mientras llevan su bandera nacional..

Nosotros, como organización, creamos a los presidentes continentales para poder realizar un mejor seguimiento y también ser más sensibles al negociar en diferentes entornos culturales.. Nuestro Comité Organizador de Europa y República Checa hizo un trabajo maravilloso.

¿Hubo países que se destacaron o sorprendieron??
TY: “El hecho de que estaban allí, eso es lo que realmente destaca! Algunos países participaron por primera vez. El nivel de competencia mental de algunos países fue asombroso. No puedo esperar por el 2016 Campeonatos mundiales.”

¿Cuáles son las metas a mediano plazo de 2016 para WMMAA PanAm??
TY: “El enfoque número uno para PANAM es el lanzamiento de nuestra nueva iniciativa sobre "Funcionarios y licencias globales de MMA’ estandarizar el deporte en todo el mundo, pero también estandarizar a los oficiales que cuidan el deporte.”

¿Puedes describir qué 2015 fue como para WMMAA?
TY: “2015 fue un año de fundaciones, reclutamiento, y preparándonos para los volúmenes de crecimiento que se avecinan este año.”

¿Qué palabras de sabiduría le gustaría compartir con los miembros de la familia WMMAA??
TY: “Siempre he dicho que en todos los deportes hay un negocio detrás., creyendo: 'Hasta aquí, MMA es como Capital… va donde se le da la bienvenida y se queda donde se le trata bien '”

WMMAA sigue expandiéndose. Sin embargo, todavía hay varios países que
aún no son miembros de WMMAA. ¿Por qué debería solicitar una Federación local?
para la membresía de WMMAA?

TY: “Somos la única organización de este tipo. Podrían obtener cursos, licencias nacionales e internacionales pero, lo más importante, pueden ser parte de la historia al permitir que los atletas de sus respectivos países participen en nuestra versión de los Juegos Olímpicos de MMA.”

Qué les dirías?

TY: “No estas solo. Aquí es donde formar parte de un equipo con personas calificadas abre la puerta. El poder realmente viene en números.”

La gente sigue preguntando: ¿Por qué deberíamos usar SportID y SportData?. Puedes
repite por qué es tan esencial?

TY: “Lo haré breve. La razón número uno – razón suficiente – es evitar que las empresas de propiedad privada tengan un control sesgado sobre quién y cómo cargan información.”

Crowsneck Boutin, a regular on NEF MMA cards since 2012, made his professional boxing debut earlier this month on the “NEF 21” event in Lewiston. He fought Joel Bishop (0-0-2) to a draw in an exciting slugfest that had the Colisée crowd on the edge of its collective seat. Boutin, considered the underdog in that bout, expertly worked his jab to control the first two rounds of the fight. Like the Bishop match, Boutin is preparing for another war with Montella on Abril 23.

“Brandon is a very tough opponent,” dijo Boutin. “He’s going to present me with many obstacles. My training is grueling and I’ll be prepared for a war.”

Brandon Montella is a 1998 graduate of Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine. Following graduation, Montella joined the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and served until 2003 with an honorable discharge. Montella worked in construction in Virginia until 2011 when he moved with his wife to the Boston, Massachusetts area. He owns and operates The Way, LLC boxing gym in Woburn, Massachusetts.

“Coming back home from to Maine after all these years to fight in a place of such history is an amazing feeling,” said Montella. “It will bring my friends and family from the past and the present together under one roof for an awesome event.”

Montella had a very successful amateur boxing career with a final record of 14-7. En 2011, he won the prestigious Rocky Marciano Tournament. Montella went on to win the New England Golden Gloves the following year. Se convirtió en profesional en 2015 and has won his first three bouts with two finishes.

“As far as my opponent Crowsneck Boutin, I have seen his fights and read his back story,” Montella continued. “What I see is a man like myself – someone who is determined to change his life and take matters into his own hands instead of sitting around like too many men do today. When two men as determined as we are get in the ring in front of a large crowd, magic happens. We grow larger than life and the fans get one hell of a treat.”
