RALEK GRACIE SET TO RESUME MMA CAREER WITH BELLATOR

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

 

SANTA MONICA, Calif. — (Oktober 26, 2016) - Bellator Fighting Championships ist stolz, die Unterzeichnung ankündigen Ralek gracie (3-0) to an exclusive multi-fight, multi-year contract.

Ralek is the third son of Rorion, the nephew of Royce, Rickson, and Royler Gracie and received his black belt from Grand Master Helio Gracie. The Gracie Family is famous for putting Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu on the map around the globe.

Nur 22, Ralek made his MMA debut in Japan, where he defeated his opponent, Kastuyori Shibata with a devastating armbar. Nearly a year later, Ralek returned to Japan for his second MMA fight and again was victorious, this time defeating Gahdzhiev Alavutdin with an armbar from the mount. These two bouts led to a highly anticipated matchup with Kazushi Sakuraba, where again the Los Angeles native left “The Land of the Rising Sun” with the victory. That was the last time Ralek would fight under MMA rules, until now.

“I was bred for hand-to-hand combat over generations and I simply can’t ignore that during my physical prime. My destiny is calling me and my opponent is irrelevant, es ist Zeit zu gehen,” Gracie said. “It’s crazy to see where fighting has come since my childhood of seeing everything unfold from behind the scenes. Bellator is really stepping up the opportunities fighters have to compete more often and in different countries and I’m excited to join that movement and test my style in this modern MMA era.”

It has yet to be determined which weight class the 31-year-old will participate in, but expect to see him lace up the gloves for Bellator MMA in early 2017.

Preliminary bouts for both events will stream live on Bellator.com und Die Bellator Mobile App. Weitere Kämpfe werden in den kommenden Wochen bekannt gegeben.

Possibly no name is growing faster in the MMA community than Ilima-Lei MacFarlane’s, as the 26-year-old flyweight has rapidly climbed the ranks with four consecutive victories and three finishes. The undefeated submission specialist has emerged victorious in her first three bouts under the Scott Coker-led promotion, and finishing both Amber Tackett and Rebecca Ruth über die Vorlage. Hailing from Honolulu, Hawaii, “The Ilimanator” has secured one career knockout victory, das kam gerade 10 seconds into her first professional bout and spread virally around the internet. MacFarlane will now direct her attention to another one of Bellator MMA’s top young female competitors, Emily Ducote.

The 23-year-old Ducote will look to add to an already impressive 2016 Kampagne, having earned victories in each of her four fights this year. Ducote’s most recent pair of wins have come under the Bellator MMA umbrella, recording back-to-back second round submission finishes over Brazilian flyweights Bruna Vargas und Kenya Miranda. Ducote will now look to add to her current four-fight winning streak, as she prepares for what is undoubtedly the toughest opponent of her young career. A native of Oklahoma City, “Gordinha” returns home to fight in her back yard, where she anticipates a sold out WinStar World Casino & Resort chock full of close friends and family.

Njokuani made his presence felt early in his career, recording finishes in each of his first seven career victories, including six knockouts and six first round finishes. “Chidi Bang Bang” continued to see success with his knockout power, wie sie 10 seines 15 career wins came by way of knockout or submission. You’d be hard pressed to find a more consistent fighter than Njokuani right now, the 27-year-old Las Vegas native enters the cage in search of his seventh consecutive victory and 11 seiner letzten 12, aus dem Jahr 2012. Njokuani has won both of his first two bouts under the direction of Bellator MMA since joining the promotion in 2015, with key victories over the likes of Ricky Rainey and Thiago Jambo Goncalves. He hopes to add to that list when he joins his opponent Andre Fialho on Dezember 3.

With an unblemished mark of 7-0, Fialho joins his opponent Njokuani as one of the most feared knockout artists in the game. The 22-year-old welterweight has finished each of his seven opponents and tacked on six knockouts. Possibly even more impressive is the manner in which the young Portuguese prospect has defeated his opponents, with six of the seven victories coming in the first round and three in the first minute of action. Since joining the Bellator MMA fray earlier this year, Fialho has recorded first round knockout wins over Manuel Meraz and Rick Reger, proving early in his career that he belongs with the top dogs. We can be sure to see some fireworks fly when Fialho enters the cage inside WinStar World Casino & Resort in Thackerville this December.

Trainer” Schlacht. “Bruchsicher 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7), Leiter des Shatterproof Combat Club, soll gegen Ruthless MMA antreten & Boxgründer Josh Parker (4-8) in einem professionellen Federgewichtswettbewerb. Shorey hat Anfang Herbst in Rhode Island einen großen Sieg errungen, während Parker in den MMA-Käfig zurückkehren wird, nachdem er die letzten drei Jahre als Boxer verbracht hat.

 

Abgerundet wird der professionelle Teil der Karte durch eine ungeschlagene Aussicht Aaron “Unnachgiebig” Lacey (3-0) und Taylor Trahan (6-6) in einem Federgewicht Kampf. Lacey und Trahan reichten beide ihre jeweiligen Gegner bei ein “NEF 25” letzten monat. Viele lokale Anhänger des Sports sind der Meinung, dass Lacey nur eine Handvoll Siege davon entfernt ist, den Ruf in die Hauptliga des Sports zu erhalten. Trahan wird versuchen, die Rolle des Spoilers zu spielen und gleichzeitig den Verlust seines Team Link-Teamkollegen John Santos zu rächen (3-5) nach Lacey in Bangor im vergangenen August.

 

Der Amateur-Teil der Karte wird von einem Titelkampf im Schwergewicht zwischen den Karten angeführt Kerbe “Der Wächter” Gulliver (3-0) und Quilt DeCastro (2-2). DeCastro trat an die Platte, um sich Gulliver zu stellen, wenn kein anderes Schwergewicht in der Region dies tun würde. Gulliver war auf einem Weg der Zerstörung, in zwei Minuten durch drei Gegner rippen.

 

Zwei Frauenkämpfe stehen an “NEF 26.” Jessica “Die schwarze Witwe” Zahlen (2-2) kehrt aus Florida zurück, um den brasilianischen Jiu-Jitsu-Schwarzgurt zu treffen Brianne Genschel (0-0). Genschels erstklassiger MMA-Teamkollege “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) wird auch in Aktion sein gegen Fernanda Araujo (4-4-2).

 

Jay Jack und Amanda Buckners The Academy in Portland, Maine wird zwei neue Kämpfer in den Käfig schicken “NEF 26.” Chad Pierce (0-0) wird gegen Shatterproofs debütieren Lyman Curtis (0-0), während Phil Chiasson (0-0) erfüllt Rik Seymour (0-0) von 3Ronin Athletics. Beide Kämpfe werden in der 155-Pfund-Leichtbau-Division stattfinden.
