Citation de Karim Ghajji:

“Nous nous sommes préparés vraiment dur pour ce combat. Tout ce que nous avons entrepris d'accomplir, Nous faisions. Je sais que je pourrais faire encore mieux, mais vous savez que dans les combats, cela ne se passe pas exactement comme vous le souhaitez à chaque fois. Au premier tour quand j'ai glissé, Je me suis blessé au genou et c'était extrêmement douloureux mais je savais que je devais creuser et faire de plus en plus pour gagner cette ceinture, ce qui signifie tout pour moi,” Ghajji a dit. “C'est le plus beau jour de ma vie. Comme on dit: 'Alléluia! J'ai récupéré ma ceinture.’ J'ai ressenti beaucoup de pression pour récupérer cette ceinture, et quelle sensation incroyable de le reconquérir. J'ai hâte de combattre les meilleurs combattants que Bellator a à offrir pour confirmer que je suis le champion, mais aussi, J’aimerais concourir en MMA. En France, nous avons beaucoup de combattants MMA coriaces dans notre salle de sport et mon terrain est assez destructeur.. J'aimerais faire ça.”

Niveau de compétence auquel je ne pensais pas qu'il se soit battu contre le niveau de compétition auquel j'ai concouru, mais il a fait un très bon travail et il était vraiment dur. Il essayait de m'inciter à lancer avec lui et il essaierait de me rattraper quand j'entrerais, alors j'essayais de rester beaucoup plus calme et de montrer que je ne suis pas l'idiot qui s'est battu [Hisaki] Kato deux fois,” Schilling a dit. “J'ai fait beaucoup de changements dans ma vie personnelle. Je suis beaucoup plus concentré et plus sérieux et mon objectif ce soir était de montrer le niveau de compétiteur et de kickboxeur de classe mondiale que je suis et je pense que je l'ai fait. Chapeau à Alex, Il a fait un excellent travail. Il n'y a pas beaucoup de gens qui peuvent prendre ce genre de photos pendant trois tours. Je pense que la décision des juges était un peu ridicule. Je ne pense pas que je lui aurais donné la moitié d'un tour et encore moins un tour. Je pense qu'ils lui ont donné la seconde, ce qui est idiot. Mais, dans l'ensemble c'était une bonne nuit, les vacances commencent maintenant.”

Raymond Daniels (13-3) vaincu Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) et par KO 0:36 de tour de trois

Citation de Raymond Daniels:

“Une autre opportunité d'aller là-bas et de faire une marque avec cette marque Bellator. Je sais que mon homme Nick Diaz dit: «Découpez toute cette merde qui tourne,'Mais je pense qu'il veut dire tout le monde sauf moi,” Daniels a dit. “Je m'entraîne depuis de nombreuses années au karaté sportif et aux arts martiaux et vous savez que c'est un peu comme s'entraîner pour être un tireur d'élite pour ainsi dire. Il y a des trous et des fenêtres et lorsque votre adversaire vous donne ces trous, vous devez saisir cette opportunité. J'ai vu ce trou, Je l'ai exposé, et il se trouve que c'était avec mon spin kick qui est l'une de mes techniques les plus puissantes et les plus dévastatrices. Si j'atteins cette marque avec ce coup de pied, c'est un coup de circuit, Grand Chelem, Je le frappe hors du parc à chaque fois. J'ai pu m'entraîner récemment avec plusieurs grands vétérans du MMA comme Rory MacDonald, Georges St. Pierre et Tyron Woodley et moi nous sommes beaucoup entraînés avec ces gars-là, donc je suis vraiment intéressé à refaire du MMA. C'est très amusant de s'y attaquer avec de petits gants car les gens ne peuvent pas utiliser les gros gants comme bouclier pour bloquer mes tirs. Je veux saisir ce titre de Bellator Kickboxing et continuer à aider à construire cette marque de kickboxing parce que je sais qu'ils y investissent beaucoup de temps. Alors oui, Je suis vraiment intéressé à traverser ce pont et à participer à des combats de MMA, mais mon objectif principal est de remporter cet or du kickboxing.”

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) vaincu Irene Martens (20-10-2) par décision unanime (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Citation de Jorina Baars:

“Ce était un bon combat, Je pensais qu'Irène [Martens] était très dur. J'avais le contrôle dès le début du combat et je l'ai gardé pendant les trois rounds. J'ai été un peu déçu au premier tour mais au deuxième et au troisième tour j'ai beaucoup mieux performé. Elle a travaillé dur et a beaucoup bougé, donc ma stratégie était de maintenir la pression sur elle et d'essayer de la mettre dans le coin et je pense que j'ai réussi à ça,” Baars a dit après sa victoire. “C'était incroyable de se battre enfin pour Bellator. L'organisation est tellement professionnelle. J’attends avec impatience mes futurs combats ici et j’espère remporter le titre Bellator.”

Gabor Gorbics (31-10) vaincu Gabriel Varga (13-5) par décision partagée (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

Citation de Gabor Gorbics:

“Je suis très content de la victoire et j'espère continuer à gagner ici à Bellator,” Gorbics a dit. “Je me suis entraîné très dur pour ça. J'ai une famille et une équipe charmantes qui m'ont aidé à me préparer et je reviendrai au gymnase lundi pour continuer la formation.”
