SANTA MONICA, CALIF. (Februari 29, 2016) – This Friday, Bellator MMA returns to Spike for the third consecutive Friday with "Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell.” The event takes place from the WinStar World Casino & Resort i Thackerville, OK, and features a main event between highly touted undefeated bantamweight Darrion Caldwell (8-0) challenging former two-division world champion and the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” Joe Warren (13-4).

You can purchase tickets at the WinStar World Casino and Resort Box Office, as well as Ticketmaster.com and Bellator.com. Dörrar för händelsen öppen 5:00 p.m. CT lokal tid, with the first contest taking place 45 minuter senare.

"Bellator 151: Warren vs. Caldwell” sänds live gratis SPIKE på 9 p.m. OCH/8 p.m. CT, medan preliminära skjutningarna kommer strömma live på Bellator.com och Bellator Mobile App.. Ytterligare matcher kommer att tillkännages under de kommande veckorna.

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

Warren has just about done it all under the Bellator MMA banner, winning titles at featherweight and bantamweight during his nearly six-year promotional tenure. Nu, 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. EN 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, brottning.

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). Initially a featherweight, Caldwell looks much more comfortable now at 135-pounds and as he proclaimed during a recent interview, “I foresee myself competing against Joe [Warren] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

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

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Paul "Semtex" Daley. Gonzalez now returns to his comfort zone of MMA, where he has strung together an impressive four-fight winning streak. A veteran of the Scott Coker-founded Strikeforce promotion, as well as World Extreme Cagefighting, Gonzalez has been competing professionally since 2003.

Smith will be making his Bellator MMA debut against a fighter who is currently in the midst of a four-fight winning streak. "Midnatt 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 upp (19-2) vs. Bubba Jenkins (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Mike Richman, Martin Stapleton, och Isao Kobayashi. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 av hans 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. The Arizona State alum notched two straight wins to cap off 2015, senast, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Jordanien Parsons.

Sirwan Kakai (12-3) vs. Joe Taimanglo (21-6-1)

Taimanglo will be making his seventh appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, and is riding a two-fight winning streak. A Guam-native, “The Juggernaut” has stopped his opponent in 21 of his victories and has only lost twice in his last 14 slagsmål. Look for the 31-year-old to make an impression against the bantamweight division’s newest commodity.

Kakai is one of Bellator MMA’s latest signings, joining the fray after a two-fight stint in the UFC. “Zohan," 26, hails from Sweden and owns 10 finishes in his 12 victories as a professional fighter. With a bantamweight title fight one-week prior and another marquee 135-pound pairing in the main event, it will be interesting to see what a win does for Kakai in the grand scheme of things.

Here is what the participants had to say Monday:

ADRIEN Broner

“This is really a big fight for me. I know that Ashley Theophane is going to come to fight, because he has something to prove. He’s going to try to take my world title.

“A lot of people told me I wouldn’t be here. I come from nothing. Like cereal and water nothing. I’m very fortunate to have someone like Floyd to look up to. I don’t want to be like Floyd though, I don’t want to be like any man. I admire him and respect him, but I’m creating my legacy.

“Vid slutet av dagen, Floyd and Ashley aren’t on my side. I’m against them. They’re coming to dethrone me. They’re my enemy right now and I’m going to beat Ashley down.

“This training camp, I’ve really been perfecting my craft. This is going to be the best performance of my career. It’s going to be a highlight reel performance. I’m not coming to just get a win.

“This fight isn’t going four rounds. That’s too many. This is going to be quick. I’m not playing.

“There’s nothing Floyd can teach [Teofan]. Vid slutet av dagen, it all goes out the window. The trainers and entourage can’t help. They can’t help Ashley Theophane.

“I want everyone to come out. Big brother Floyd Mayweather is gone, everyone else is too boring, so I’m taking over the sport.”

ASHLEY THEOPHANE

“There are many different thing we’re working on to neutralize Broner and keep up with his quickness. I’ve sparred with a lot of young guys who imitate him and I believe I can match him.

“He does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong. Adrien Broner can be beat and he has been. We’re working hard. At the end of the day this is my career-defining fight.

“We all turn pro to become a world champion. I’ve been in the gym for months, working on things and staying in shape.

“I’ve watched Adrien Broner in the past. I was at the John Molina and Shawn Porter fights and I know he’s got talent. But he can be beat. He’s vulnerable, very vulnerable.

“It’s not just about what you do in the ring, but it’s also about being a mature fighter. He’s going to do what he does and as a grown man, I just have to stay calm. Being the more experienced fighter is a position I like.

“I’m representing Floyd Mayweather. He has my back and he believes in me. He believes I can win and that’s extra motivation.

“I want to be the best I’ve ever been. I want to fight the fight of my life on April 1. I don’t want to turn the clock back. I want this to be the best performance of my career.

“It’s been a long journey as a professional and I have to thank Floyd for giving me this chance. April 1 is going to be a war. Adrien is a warrior and I know he has no quit in him. If you have a dream, you have to work hard to make it come true and that’s what I’m here to do.”

ROBERT PÅSK JR.

“I’m thankful to everyone who put me in this position. I will give everyone a shot like I always do.

“I consider D.C. one of my hometowns and I’m coming to give everyone a show. This is a blessing and a tremendous opportunity.

“I want a world title and this is another big step on my way towards that goal. To be able to do it on Adrien Broner’s card just guarantees it’s going to be a big night.

“I’m just ready to show off my skills and make a name for myself so that I can continue to grow in this sport.”

GERVONTA DAVIS

“I’m definitely excited to fight in DC. This is where my first professional fight was. I’m so thankful to Barry Hunter for letting me train with him and helping me toward this opportunity.

“I have a great team. Especially Floyd Mayweather, who has taken me in and taught me so much about boxing but also about everything outside of the ring. I’m blessed to have his support in my career.

“April 1, it’s going to be an action-packed fight. I will be a world champion one day. You don’t want to miss this one.”

ANTHONY PETERSON

“This is my 38th fight, going for my 37th victory and fourth knockout in a row. Boxing isn’t something you talk about, you just do it. That’s what I’m going to do 1 april. It’s going down.

“I made my pro debut on a Roy Jones card, which was another big stage. So I’m very ready and blessed.

“I’m coming to give my hometown fans the knockout. Boxing is like jazz, the better it is, the less it’s appreciated. A knockout will get you praise.

“I’m targeting everybody in the division. I want a belt. The first one to step up, I’m going to take care of him.”

FLOYD Mayweather

“I’m happy to be here and I truly believe this will be a very exciting fight. Adrien is a very young and explosive fighter. He’s a force in boxing right now.

“Ashley Theophane is a guy that came from the UK with a dream. His dream was to be world champion one day. Same dream I had. Han är en mycket ödmjuk, hungry and dedicated fighter.

“I don’t think this is going to be an easy fight for Adrien. I’ll tell both guys to push themselves to the limit and give fans what they want to see.

“Gervonta Davis is someone I look at like a son. I met him in 2014 and they said this is the next big thing. Broner brought him to my gym to let me see him work. He’s a very explosive kid. He’s exciting and he will be fighting for a world title soon after a couple more bouts.

“I want to thank Adrien for giving him the chance to make his dream come true. I believe Adrien will continue to put on exciting fights and a good show. You’re still learning, it’s all a process.

“Adrien and Gervonta have great teams. The Baltimore and D.C. area has some extraordinary talent and the trainers are unbelievable. I’m not biased, I feel like whatever a fighter is comfortable with, that’s whom a fighter should be with.

“Mayweather Promotions isn’t rushing, we’re taking it one step at a time. I would love to see some of these guys break my records. Records are meant to be broken. I’ve done everything I can do in the sport. I’m blessed to share the stage with these young guys.

“Ashley is working with a great trainer in Nate Jones. He’s a former Olympian and a guy who has a great boxing mind.

“DC isn’t a good city, it’s a great city. We couldn’t choose a better place to have the fight. I believe that this will be a sold out event. I’m going to work to make sure everywhere you look in the city, you will see Adrien Broner and Ashley Theophane.”

RICK ROSS, Platinum Selling Record Artist

“I’m not only a friend of the boxers, but I’m also a friend of the sport. This is my favorite sport. I believe this is the sport of gladiators. This is where men, with ambition and sheer will stand-alone.

“Me and my friend Adrien Broner, will be doing some exciting things in 2016. I’m here to let everyone know on behalf of the hip-hop community, that we’re supporting this fight. April 1, ‘The Boss’ will be in the building.”

CHEICK KONGO INCHER FÖRBIT VINICIUS SPARTAN I ‘BELLATOR 150’ HUVUDEVENT PÅ SPIKE

Februari 28, 2016 FNU47 Lämna en kommentar

KOMPLETT BELLATOR 150 BILDER HÄR

MULVANE, Kan. (Februari 26, 2015) – En vecka borta från det mest sedda Bellator MMA-evenemanget i företagets historia, den Scott Coker-ledda kampanjen återvände till action på SPIKE med "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz,” en händelse som levererade fem spektakulära huvudkortskamper.

I kvällens main event, Cheick Kongo (24-10-2) intelligent hanterade avståndet mellan han och Vinicius spartanen (8-4), sparkar och knackar sig fram till en seger med delat avgörande (30-27, 28-29, 29-28).

Spartan hade sina stunder under tungviktsmötet, säkra nedtagningar i omgångarna två och tre, följt av en sen knockdown. Men i slutändan, Kongo fick fördelen av tvivel från de Kansas-utnämnda domarna. Fransmannen har nu vunnit två raka, och förbättrats till 6-2 totalt sett under Bellator MMA-fanan.

Det tog bara David Rickels (17-4) tre minuter och 49 sekunder till slut Bobby Cooper (12-6) inför en såld publik på Kansas Star Arena på fredag. Båda männen hade sina stunder under aktionen, men efter ett knä på kroppen tappade Cooper på knä, "The Caveman" slog sin fiende med hammarnevar tills domaren John McCarthy satte stopp för handlingen.

Kendall Grove (23-15) stoppad Francisco Frankrike (13-4-1) med ett elak slag 35 sekunder in i andra omgången, vinna på knockout. Segern var känslosam för "Da Spyder,” som nyligen förlorade sin bror och gjorde det klart att hans prestation var tillägnad hans avlidna syskon. Grove har nu vunnit tre av sina fyra senaste tilt, allt via finish.

Chuka Willis (7-2) handed Gaston Reyno (5-1) det första nederlaget i hans mixed martial arts-karriär på fredagen, vinner via enhälligt beslut (29-28, 30-27, 30-27). Skrotet gick fram och tillbaka under loppet av 15 minuter, med flera inlämningsförsök och knockdowns av båda männen. Men till slut – till stor glädje för partisanpubliken – fick Willis nicken.

Tidigare Shamrock FC flugviktsmästare Rebecca Ruth (6-1) besegrade Lena Ovchynnikova (10-4) via enhälligt beslut (30-27, 29-28, 29-28) i den inledande huvudkortkampen kl "Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Queiroz.” För "Ruthless" är vinsten den första i hennes karriär via domarnas resultatkort och förlängde hennes nuvarande segersvit till fyra raka.

Preliminära Card Resultat:

Kyle Noblitt (2-0) besegrade David Hammons (1-2) via TKO (stansar)

Rom Lindsay (5-5) besegrade Marcio Navarro (14-12) via TKO (stansar) 2:30, R1

Chris Harris (5-0) besegrade Julian Marquez (2-1) via enhälligt beslut (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Andrew Fialho (6-0) besegrade Manny Meraz (7-2) via knockout (stansar) :29, R1

Gregory Babene (17-11) besegrade Brandon Farran (12-11) via submission (bakre naked choke) 3:37, R1

Thailändska Clark (6-0) besegrade Deron Carlis (4-2) via enhälligt beslut (29-28 x3)

I co-main event, former Bellator MMA Featherweight Titlist Pat Curran (21-7) kommer att återvända till åtgärder för första gången sedan juni, when he faces the always-dangerous Georgi Karakhanyan (24-5-1).

Biljetter till "Bellator 155: Carvalho vs. Manhoef " startar vid bara $25 and go on sale next Fredag, Mars 4 på Bellator.com, the CenturyLink Arena Box Office, CenturyLinkArenaBoise.com or by phone at 208-331-TIXS.

Carvalho’s second-round body kick knockout of Brandon Halsey vid "Bellator 144: Halsey vs. Carvalho” was the third biggest oddsmaker upset in 2015, and extended his current winning streak to 12. The 29-year-old will be making his fourth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and has an impressive finishing rate of 83 procent.

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 vid "Bellator 146: Manhoef vs. Kato” i November. 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, och 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, kvävning ut Bubba Jenkins in his first fight for the Viacom-owned promotion since 2011. Nu, 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.
