SANTA MONICA, CALIF (十一月 15, 2016) – Before the cage door closes 這個星期六 在聖何塞SAP中心, the main and co-main event fighters from “Bellator 165: 錢德勒VS. 恆基“participated in a media conference call. If you weren’t on the line, you can listen to it 這裡, or read a couple of the quotes below.
“Bellator 165: 錢德勒VS. 恆基“ features current champion 邁克爾·錢德勒 (15-3) 針對 本森·亨德森 (24-6) 在領銜作用, while co-main event action will have undefeated British phenom 邁克爾“毒液”頁面 (11-0) and California’s own 岡薩雷斯 (25-13) duke it out in a welterweight thriller. Bay Area’s own Keri Melendez makes her professional MMA debut, as does Kevin Ferguson Jr. better known as Kimbo Slice Jr.
The event airs LIVE and FREE at 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT on Spike and completes three consecutive weeks of championship fights on the Viacom-owned network. Tickets for the event remain on sale and can be purchased at Bellator.com, as well as SAP Center Box Office and Ticketmaster.
Q: For Benson…Is there any extra motivation to prove yourself in this fight after the way the last fight ended?
本森·亨德森: I would say that there’s not a whole lot of extra motivation this fight. I’m a pretty highly self-motivated individual. I want to win all of my fights. I don’t need any extra incentives. I want to have my hand raised in every single fight.
Q: This is your second title fight in Bellator. Is there anything you learned from the first go-around that you’re bringing into this fight?
本森·亨德森: I don’t know if there’s anything that I learned from the last title fight, just being more comfortable inside the Bellator cage and getting used to the walkout and finding my rhythm.
Q: You’re fighting for the title now. Do you think of yourself as a lightweight? Is this where you intend to stay or is another trip to welterweight a possibility in the future?
本森·亨德森: I wouldn’t say that I think of myself as a lightweight necessarily. 對我來說, 這是 155 磅. 或 170 磅。, just wherever the more interesting and fun matchups are. 但, first things first, I have to take care of business 週六 夜晚.
Q: You mentioned fun and interesting fights. Is the title something you think about as well? The story line of the week is a two-division champion in the other promotion. Is that a dream that you have for yourself in your career or do you just want to stay and be the most dominate lightweight champion that you can be?
本森·亨德森: I’m going to go get this belt at 155 磅。, but after that I wouldn’t say that belts offer a whole lot of extra incentive. Obviously belts are great and the meaning behind the belt is that you are the best in the planet and that means a lot to say that you are the best at that weight class, but I don’t fight necessarily just for the belt. You do want the belt, but right now all I’m concentrating on is four days from now and a man named Michael Chandler.
Q: For Michael…Have you ever thought about trying for another belt? I know it’s early in your title reign, but has that ever crossed your mind? 和, if you did go for another belt, would it be for welterweight or featherweight?
邁克爾·錢德勒: I haven’t put a lot of thought into it. 對我來說, I’m just looking for the biggest fight I can get. I know there’s no way I could make 145 磅。, since I walk around at about 190 磅。, between fights. 所以, I’m not interested in losing the muscle mass that I’ve worked so hard to build. 如果有什麼, I would jump up to 170 磅。, but right now I’m focused on my fight 這個星期六 night and I’m excited to get out there and perform.
Q: Why is Henderson an important opponent for your career?
邁克爾·錢德勒: Every opponent is important. Every single time we fight, we’re putting ourselves, our livelihood, our records, and our reputation on the line. It just so happens for me, I get an opportunity to fight a guy who’s been a champion and has done some great things in the sport. But luckily, it’s the right time for me and the wrong time for him. I’m extremely excited to go out there and make a statement with this fight 週六 夜晚. He’s definitely a great, willing opponent, but I’m excited to go out there and get the finish.
Q: For MVP…Obviously, it’s been a fantastic year for you in Bellator, especially your performance in London. Have you got your finger on the pulse of pop culture right now and is there something out there that you’re drawing inspiration from that you’re looking to utilize in some entertainment factor on fight night?
MVP: 是啊, I’m always socially aware, but I have to get the job done first and that’s the most important thing.
Q: At the moment, fighting at multiple weight classes and fighting in multiple divisions seems to be the rage right now and I know in the past you’ve mentioned the possibility of dropping down to 155 磅。, is that something that you’re still interested in?
MVP: At the moment, 別. 現在, I’m just focused on fighting in the welterweight division.
Q: If you can record a win over Fernando Gonzalez, how many more fights and how many more wins do you think before you are in that title picture and fighting for a title shot?
MVP: That’s not really my main concern. I just go out there and entertain and I’ll keep doing that until I end up in the position I’m supposed to be in.
Q: For Michael Chandler…With you watching Benson from a far for a long time, what did you think of him as his career progressed?
邁克爾·錢德勒: Benson’s had a phenomenal career. 早些時候, he was the UFC champion and I was the Bellator champion. He was ranked number one and I was ranked number three in the world and it was always that “what if” matchup. What if these two guys could fight…and now we finally get to see. He’s continued to impress. He’s continued to win. Great careers and great legacies can’t be had without great opponents. I look at Benson Henderson as exactly that, but I’ll be damned if I’m going to step into that cage 週六 night and lose this belt. I’ve trained my tail off, I’ve gone through some of the toughest hardships that anyone can go through in this sport…losing three fights in a row, coming back, and believing that no matter what, my next big breakthrough is right around the corner. I never once thought about quitting, where I think a lot of people in that situation would. Where I’ve been and where I am now, I’m confident and I’m excited to just go out there and put it all on the line against one of the best in the world and one of the biggest names in the sport. This is a great opportunity on Spike TV, 現場免費.
Q: For Fernando…question regarding the video packages that Michael Page has produced and released this year, most recently during Halloween. Did you watch them and what was your reaction to the video packages?
岡薩雷斯: I watched both of the videos and thought it was kind of funny, especially the last one. Bad choice of food products I guess. He’s basically eating balls and drinking milk, while cupping and savoring the taste. 所以, I don’t know if I should take that as a call out, but I think the victory alone will be enough for me.
Q: With Michael (頁面) on the line right now, does Fernando have any sort of message for him leading up to the fight?
岡薩雷斯: It’s the same message that I gave before. Just show up. I respect the fighter, but after this he’ll congratulate me and thank me for making him a better fighter. 他的強硬, but he hasn’t been tested and I’m going to give him his first loss.
Q: Michael do you have a response to that?
MVP: I’m allergic to bullshit, so there’s no point in responding.
Q: For Benson Henderson…In the title eliminator fight in Anaheim, you had a calm and deliberate demeanor throughout that fight and before we could really see you explode, Pitbull was taken away with an injury. Are you going to look to set a faster pace with Chandler, or are we going to see a more measured response?
本森·亨德森: We’ll see how it plays out. It’s hard to dictate and say exactly what I’m going to do. If I was an NFL coach, I would not be one of those coaches that has the first 15 plays of the game scripted out and no matter what happens, we’re sticking to these 15 plays. 對我來說, I have to feel it out and go with the flow. 但, for me I don’t think this is going to be a slow pace fight. I’m expecting this to be one of the most high paced, action-packed fights you’ve seen in the Bellator cage.

TEL AVIV, 以色列. (十一月. 10, 2016) – All fighters successfully made weight for Israel’s first major mixed martial arts event “Bellator 164: Koreshkov VS. Lima” which takes place inside of Menora Mivtachim Arena in Tel Aviv, 以色列. The historic event airs FREE on SPIKE 星期五, 十一月 11 在 9 P.M. AND/8 P.M. CT.
The stacked main card is headlined by a must-see welterweight world title main event pitting current champion 安德烈Koreshkov (19-1) 針對 道格拉斯·利馬 (27-6). 此外, a pair of featherweight matchups pitting hometown favorite Noad Lahat (9-2) 針對 斯科特·克利夫 (15-5) 和 格奧爾基Karakhanyan (25-6-1) 針對 基里爾Medvedovsky (6-1) will also be featured on the Spike-televised main card. 最後, Ukrainian sensation Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) returns in a female flyweight contest with Karla Benitez (13-9-1).
Scott Coker on the groundbreaking Bellator event in Israel: “This event started about 18 months ago when we came over here to say hello to our international partners Annaney Communications and EGO TOTAL. We sat down with them and they said ‘Hey, there are a lot of great martial artists here. Why don’t we go meet with some of the gyms?’ So, we went to some of the gyms across Tel Aviv where they hosted a nice tryout. We had about 60-70 athletes participate and Royce (格雷西) would say ‘I think this guy could be good. I think this girl could be good. I think that these are some of the talented fighters that you could bring into Bellator.’ From there we started talking about the venues, and talking about the infrastructure of how we could pull of an event of this magnitude here in this city. We have put together an amazing team of people out here that have done a great job helping make this possible. I’ve been in the fight business for 31 多年來, promoting fights all over the world, but this is one that is really a big feather in our cap. 我真的, really excited to be here in Israel promoting our inaugural event, and we already have a date set for next year. We will be back, and we’d like to make this an annual stop for the company.
