On his recent training camp
We just wrapped up about a week and we got some good rest during fight week. Training camp has been very productive. I’m comfortable with my weight and I feel strong going into this fight. My strength and conditioning is right where I want it. Ronnie and I are always polishing up on the things I do well. Yleinen, it’s been a great camp.
On facing former world champion Yuri Foreman
I’m grateful to Yuri Foreman for accepting this fight. I know he’s hungry to get back in the ring. He wants to prove that he’s still relevant in the super welterweight division. He’s a former world champion who knows what it’s like to win at the elite level. I’m not looking past Yuri Forman, but I’m very confident I’ll be victorious. I feel I’m going to be the superior fighter when we both step in the ring huomenna night.”

My last fight here was amazing and the fan support was unbelievable. I got the knockout and I’m hoping to do the same again. If I see my opponent hurt, I’ll be looking to take him out. I love my Cuban countrymen and all their support, as well as my American fans. Miami is like a second home to me and I can’t wait to give the fans a great show.
On the state of the super welterweight division
The division, minun mielestäni, is the most talented division in boxing. Everyone at the top is looking to cement their legacy in boxing history and everyone is spectacular. In the future, we will all have to face each other at some point. Joten, expect some unification bout to be presented, and may the best man rise to the top. I know I’m ready to fight everyone, but first I must get past Foreman.

ERISLANDY LARA
Thank you everyone for coming, especially Spike TV and Hialeah Park. Thanks to Team Foreman for taking this fight. Se tulee olemaan suuri taistelu Perjantai yö.
Yuri Foreman is a great fighter and a very smart fighter. I am also a very smart fighter, joten Perjantai night we’re going to find out who is the smarter one in the ring.
“Tunnen suurta. Very happy to be back in Miami in front of my Cuban and Latin fans. This is a great night for Miami and Spike and I plan on putting on a show and making a statement to the boxing world.

YURI FOREMAN
It’s great to be here in Miami where it’s nice and warm and with so many great fighters on this card. I’m ready and looking forward to Perjantai. I came here to win and I feel very positive about this.
Erislandy Lara is a great fighter, but me being from the Soviet Union, I’m very familiar with Cuban boxing and have quite a bit of experience with their style, so I’m looking forward to stepping in and showcasing my talents and skills.
Being a rabbi, it is sometimes very interesting to mix that with fighting, mutta Perjantai night I won’t be in rabbi mode. I will be all fighter. We are going to show skills and heart and power perjantaina night.”
ANTHONY DIRRELL
I think this is my third Spike event and I’m happy to be fighting on a show with two great fighters like Lara and Foreman.
It’s going to be a hell of a show. We are going to put on a great show. All the fights on the card are tremendous fightsundefeated fighters fighting undefeated fighters and champions fighting champions and we are all coming to win.

NORBERT NEMESAPATI
I am coming in as the smaller fighter, so I will have to put a lot of pressure on him. I sparred a lot of rounds for this fight, with a lot of tall guys. That’s fine with me that he is taller because I love to punch to the body.
I might never get another opportunity like this, so I have to make the most of it. This is a beautiful place and I’m coming to the ring to win big. Thank you for this very special opportunity.
MIGUEL CRUZ
I wish that Alex Martin was here so I could talk a little smack to his face.
“13-0, 11 KOs vs. 13-0, 5 KOs… basically somebody’s ‘0’ has to go and I can give you a hintit’s not going to be mine.
I’m going to crush him like an ant with a sledgehammer. I’m going to destroy him. That’s the plan. Älä unohda sitä.”

Matt Mitrione

Royce Gracie

Nimi Gracie on synonyymi MMA, ja se on suurelta osin Royce Graciella, mies, jonka katsotaan keksineen urheilun sellaisena kuin me sen nykyään tunnemme. Voittaja muutamien ensimmäisten UFC tapahtumia, Gracie purkaisi useita vastustajia yhdessä yössä, joista monet olivat paljon suurempia kuin hänet. Moniin vuosiin ei ollut vastausta Gracie Jiu-Jitsu -tekniikkaan, jonka hän toi taisteluun. Tänään, on vaikea löytää MMA-taistelijaa, joka ei olisi harjoitellut brasilialaista jiu-jitsua, jonka hänen isänsä keksi. Helmikuussa v 2016, Gracie julkaisi otsikon "Bellator 149", tapahtuma, joka rikkoi yrityksen katsojaennätykset, jotka ovat säilyneet ennallaan tähän päivään asti..

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Uskomattomalla ansioluettelolla, jonka voitti neljä legendaarisen Gracie-perheen jäsentä, mukaan lukien Royler, Renzo, Ryan, ja Royce Gracie, Sakuraba on perinyt lempinimen "The Gracie Hunter". Japanilainen sekataistelija muistetaan erityisesti hänen ensimmäisestä yhteenotostaan ​​Roycen kanssa, 90 minuutin maraton, joka päättyi TKO:han (kulman pysäytys) voitto Sakuraballe melkein 17 vuosia sitten. Gracie kostaisi myöhemmin hänen menetyksestään, ansainnut yksimielisen päätöksen voittaa Sakuraba klo "K-1 Dynamite USA!!" Los Angeles Memorial Coliseumin sisällä. Nyt, lähes vuosikymmenen kuluttua, kaksi legendaa kohtaavat jälleen, ja Bellator MMA antaa sinulle mahdollisuuden olla paikalla, kun se tapahtuu!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione vei alun perin kykynsä jalkapalloruudukkoon, allekirjoittaen varauksettomana vapaana agenttina New York Giantsin kanssa 2002. Lyhyiden työjaksojen jälkeen San Francisco 49ersin ja Minnesota Vikingsin kanssa, Mitrione astui MMA-häkkiin eikä ole katsonut taaksepäin sen jälkeen. 14-kertainen UFC-veteraani aloitti ammattilaisuransa voitoilla viidestä ensimmäisestä ottelustaan, joista neljä tuli tyrmäyksellä. Tunnetaan yhtenä urheilun parhaista, 37-vuotias Indianapolis-syntyperäinen päätti äskettäin juoksunsa entisen työnantajansa luona, tehdä päätös testata vapaata agentuuria. Mitrione pyrkii nyt kopioimaan koko uransa aikana saavuttamansa menestyksen, kun hän tapaa Fedor Emelianenko San Josessa helmikuussa.

 

Wanderlei Silva
