Guillard suffered a horrific broken hand during his Bellator MMA debut against בראַנדאָן גירטז פריער דעם יאָר. “The Young Assassin” has made it clear that he intends on eventually fighting for the 155-pound title, and his road to the gold begins on Feb. 19 against a tough Texas native with plenty to prove. Of Guillard’s 32 ווינס ווי אַ פאַכמאַן, 23 victories have come before reaching the judges’ scorecards.

 

Known as “The Stallion” to those familiar with his mixed martial arts career, Campos will come into his meeting with Guillard riding a two-fight skid. During his eight-fight tenure with Bellator MMA, the 27-year-old Texan has faced a plethora of top lightweight talent, going up against names the likes of: מיכאל טשאַנדלער, פּאַטריקקי פרעירע, בראַנדאָן גירטז (2רענטגענ), and Estevan Payan.

 

You would be hard-pressed to find a better story in all of MMA than the one that Wren can tell. The two-time National High School Wrestling Champion generated massive amounts of media attention on the road to his promotional debut at "בעללאַטאָר 141: גויללאַרד ווס. גערט,” where he defeated Josh Burns. His story begins several years earlier, אין 2010, when Wren confronted an opponent tougher than any he could face in combat sports: addiction.

 

With an opportunity to continue fighting on the table, Wren left the sport and began his recovery process. A chance meeting with a friend led Wren on a trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where he came across and developed a deep connection with the Mbuti Pygmies, many of whom were enslaved, living on only the scraps the slave masters would pay them with. Wren found his calling there and wanted to do everything in his power to help the Pygmies. With multiple visits to the Congo, including a stint that lasted a year, Wren started a foundation called “Fight for the Forgotten.” Through his efforts, Wren and his staff of 17 have systematically bought the land of the slave owners, and have thus far legally given 2,740 acres of rainforest to the Pygmies, effectively freeing them from slavery.

 

Partnering with other groups like Shalom University and joining forces with Water4.org, Wren and his charity are responsible for drilling 26 water wells to help provide both the Pygmies and the former slave masters with clean water, and have plans to drill hundreds more. דערצו, the team has begun a sustainable farming project to benefit and provide food to both the Pygmies and non-Pygmies of the community.

 

Take a look below at the complete 19-fight "בעללאַטאָר 149: Shamrock ווס. גראַסיע " card and be sure to tune into SPIKE on February 19 בייַ 9 פּ.ם. עט / 8 פּ.ם. CT for an event that has something for every fight fan.

GLOVER AND WILLIAMS TO FACE OFF FOR NEF GOLD

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (פעברואַר 1, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, "נעף 21: THE IMMORTALS” this שבת, פעברואַר 6, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסעע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. ריאַן גלאָווער (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, מיין. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, ווייַל, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. ווילליאַמס, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (בדזשדזש) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (קמבדזשדזש) אין אַבערן, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"סטייטיד נעף גלויבנס-באַזיצער און שאַדכן מאַט פּעטערסאָן. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, אַגרעסיוו, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”
