C-Sergio Pettis (22-5) derrotat Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4) per KO (puny enrere girant) a 3:24 de la quarta ronda

Sergio Pettis: "Vaig sortir aquí i em van colpejar durant quatre rondes. Quan va passar, Jo estava com, 'Home, estic perdent aquesta lluita. He de fer alguna cosa espectacular’ (el cop decisiu que va acabar la lluita) va arribar en el moment oportú".

"Necessitava enfrontar-me a algunes adversitats, i aquesta nit Horiguchi m'ha donat tot això. Va ser difícil intentar cronometrar el seu ritme, intentant reduir el seu moviment".

“Els meus entrenadors sempre m'ho diuen, 'Si t'obres, podríeu ser un dels millors del món.’ Això és el que estic pressionant”.

#9-Jeremy Kennedy (17-3, 1 NC) derrotat #4-Emmanuel Sánchez (20-7) per decisió unànime (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Jeremy Kennedy: "Sembla que no ho trobo. Els meus entrenadors es van enfadar amb mi en la meva última baralla. Tinc una bomba atòmica. Això és el que va dir el meu entrenador. Són 100 milles (per hora) pilota ràpida. L'he d'utilitzar. Última lluita, Jo no. Volia provar de barrejar-ho, canviar el meu estil. Jo era competitiu, però vaig haver de tornar a les meves arrels”.

“M'hagués agradat barrejar-ho una mica més, però (Emmanuel) Sánchez està a la teva cara tot el temps. Era difícil dictar aquest rang calculat. Simplement em va acostar".

“Em poso molta pressió sobre mi mateix. Vaig tenir un amic proper que va morir. Va estar al meu racó per a les meves últimes baralles. No volia tornar a casa amb una pèrdua. No volia tenir cap oportunitat addicional. Volia guanyar tots els intercanvis. Volia guanyar cada segon, cada moment d'aquesta lluita. No m'importava el que semblava. Vaig haver d'aconseguir la "w".

“La propera vegada, Tornaré a divertir-me i trobaré aquest mitjà feliç. Aquest és per a Boom. Vaig haver d'aixecar la mà a tota costa. No vaig sortir d'això sense guanyar".

#7-Josh Hill (21-4) derrotat Jared Scoggins (10-2) per KO (ponx) a :56 de la segona ronda

Josh Hill: "Aquest tractava del temps. Sabíem que la primera ronda seria difícil de reduir aquest temps. Ell (Jared Scoggins) estava molt nerviosa, dins i fora. Això (cop de puny que va acabar la baralla) estava just al botó".

“Jo hi pertanyo (al Bellator MMA World Grand Prix). Sé que aquesta divisió està apilada, així ho entenc (per què no va ser inclòs). vull entrar. Si hi ha alguna lesió o retirada, Sóc el teu home".

"El vaig veure (Scoggins) va baixar i va saber que estava fora. No tenia sentit continuar".

"Ell (Scoggins) és molt tradicional, karate-esque. El meu entrenador i jo hem treballat bastant en el temps. Sabia que la primera ronda podria ser una mica complicada. Vaig donar un cop de puny al primer, però no era pels diners. El del segon (que va acabar la lluita) era.”

#5-Johnny Eblen (10-0) derrotat Collin Huckbody (10-4) per TKO (cops) a 1:11 de la primera ronda

Johnny Eblen: "Volia enviar aquest noi (Huckbody) al metavers. Tristament, No ho podria fer aquesta nit. Jo era que hauria pogut fer un espectacle millor, però és el que és”.

"John Salter, Vaig signar un acord per lluitar contra tu a Florida, però tu [improperi retingut] a fora. No sé si t'has fet mal, o tu [improperi retingut] a fora. Però vull veure't en això [improperi retingut] gàbia, Joan. Preparem-nos i anem a buscar-ho".

The winner of tonight’s 135-Pound World Championship fight betweenSergio Pettis iKyoji Horiguchi will defend their title next year in the Bantamweight World Grand Prix featuring a gauntlet of the eight best athletes the weight class has to offer.

In addition to both Pettis and Horiguchi, the Bantamweight World Grand Prix is set to feature former divisional championJuan Archuleta, No. 2 classificat-Raufeon Stots, No. 3 classificat-Patchy Mix, No. 4 classificat-Magomed Magomedov, No. 5 classificat-Leandro Figa, i n. 6 classificat-James Gallagher, who will all vie for the right to be named the next BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion and take home a grand prize of one-million-dollars.

All tournament bouts will be five-round contests and will be telecast in the United States exclusively on SHOWTIME.

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi enters tonight’s contest unranked due to inactivity within the promotion. Official BELLATOR Rankings will be updated and distributed on Monday, Desembre. 6.

Campió – Sergio Pettis (21-5):

Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettis captured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJuan Archuleta in a fast-paced contest atBELLATOR 258.During a nearly six-year, 14-fight UFC stint, the Roufusport-product competed in both the flyweight and bantamweight classes, collecting nine victories and a pair of “Fight of the Night” honors against Alex Caceres and Matt Hobar in 2014. Prior to his UFC tenure, Pettis, the younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, earned world titles in Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s flyweight division and North American Fighting Championship’s 135-pound class. Following a trio of impressive triumphs over some of the division’s elite, BELLATOR’s bantamweight champion is set to protect his belt and an unblemished 3-0 promotional mark entering the tournament.

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight Champion – Kyoji Horiguchi (29-3):

Hailing from Takasaki, Japó, el jugador de 31 anys d'edat,Kyoji Horiguchi is the reigning RIZIN bantamweight champion who notoriously became a simultaneous, campió de dues promocions a 2019 after taking down and upsetting then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell at Madison Square Garden. Desafortunadament, an injury would force Horiguchi to relinquish his BELLATOR title in 2019, and he now looks to reclaim his belt in a main event clash with current championSergio Pettis aBellator 272. While with RIZIN, the American Top Team-product amassed an impressive 10-1 promotional mark, highlighted by eight finishes and five first-round knockouts. Més, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Ara, after reclaiming his RIZIN bantamweight strap and avenging only his third loss in 32 outings with a highlight-reel, opening-round knockout over Kai Asakura on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Japanese sensation fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., aims to get his hands back on BELLATOR’s title

No. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – Juan Archuleta (25-3):

With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-classificatJuan Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, Incloent 12 by way of K.O. o submissió, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrals, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.

No. 2 Ranked Bantamweight – Raufeon Stots (17-1):

Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fightersRaufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, el No. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 registre, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.

No. 3 Ranked Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):

Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, N.Y., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, N.Y. native looks to build off his most recent win atBellator 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Irlanda, mes passat. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, incloent cinc finals de primera ronda. Ara, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.

No. 4 Ranked Bantamweight – Magomed Magomedov (18-2):

After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Magomedov hopes to add to his collection by taking home BELLATOR gold. Amassing an impressive 18-2 career record with 12 via finish, “Tiger” has made a swift impact on the BELLATOR 135-pound division since his December 2020 promotional debut by climbing to No. 4 in the rankings. Possessing both a blistering pace and superior grappling, Magomedov has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

No. 5 Ranked Bantamweight – Leandro Figa (21-5):

After dropping in weight to 135-pounds, Leandro Higo has been on a tear by winning three consecutive fights and putting the entire bantamweight division on notice. Under the tutelage of the famed Pitbull Brothers camp, the Brazilian is coming off a hard-fought, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBellator 259 al maig 2021. Com 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.

No. 6 Ranked BantamweightJames Gallagher (11-2):

Hailing from Strabane, Irlanda, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBellator 169 al desembre 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBellator 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, and add to his own legacy with a shot at BELLATOR bantamweight gold.

Bellator MMA 271: CYBORG VS. KAVANAGH TARGETA PRINCIPAL:

C-Cris "Cyborg" (25-2, 1 NC) derrotat #5-Sinead Kavanagh (7-5) per KO (vagues) a 1:32 de la primera ronda

Cris “Cyborg:"

“I didn’t do anything we planned. Mai se sap. I had a feeling about the fight. Em sento molt bé. I am happy with the win.”

“I knew she was more of a striker, so I went to the ground game. The right hand did it fast and was the key. I was very excited for the count.”

“I really appreciate Kayla Harrison coming to the fight. If she wants to fight me one day, that would be great.”

#6-Linton Vassell (22-8, 1 NC) derrotat #5-Tyrell Fortune (11-2, 1 NC) per decisió dividida (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Linton Vassell:

“I am happy that I was able to out grapple a wrestler considering I’m from the U.K. and I have no wrestling background”

“I give myself a good 7. I am not 100 percent happy with my performance, but I am super happy with the outcome.”

“I was able to reverse him (Tyrell Fortune), get on top of him, and add some damage.”

“I used to watch WWE. When I first started to train, I did wrestling moves like that.”

“I always feel like we’re our own worst enemies. I wanted a knockout.”

“Tyrell was so strong and powerful. There were a few times where he just stood up and shook me off.”

“I went for the submission. I just carried on and tried to wear him down but couldn’t do it.”

#6-Aaron Pic (9-3) derrotat #8-Justin Gonzales (12-1) per decisió unànime (30-27, 30-27, 30-26)

Aaron Pic:
“I knew going into the fight that he (Justin Gonzales) was going to be a tough fighter. He is a former wrestler. One thing about us wrestlers is we don’t quit. All my coaches knew he was going to be tough.”

“He was just holding on to me and is really strong. When people hold on to you, it’s kind of hard to get strikes.”

“Thank God I walked out of here relatively healthy. I’m just happy I got my full paycheck.”

“It is the first time I’ve gone three rounds. It’s my first decision. I need the experience. I’m happy I got the win.”

“I knew I was the dominant performer, but I have to get better. I am just so hard on myself. I want to finish guys.”

“Let’s go back to the drawing board. Once I step out of this cage, it’s going to be a whole different ballgame. I have to get prepared for the next opponent, so let’s get to work.”

#1-Arlene Blencowe (15-8)derrotat #7-Pam Sorenson (9-4) per decisió unànime (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)
Arlene Blencowe:

“I am my own worst critic. It wasn’t the performance that we trained for, or that I was hoping for.”

“I felt my first right hand land and then just went head hunting with my hands. I was respecting her take downs.”

“I feel like I’m such a well-rounded fighter now. I didn’t showcase any of that. I didn’t hit the ground though.”

“You know what is not next? Retirement. Estic 38. Old girls rule. Retirement is nowhere near on the horizon. I’m No. 1 in the division. It is only up from here.”

“I’m heading home to Australia. I haven’t been home in six months. I haven’t seen my kids, my partner, la meva família, els meus amics. I’m just going to go home and enjoy the rest of the year. I’ll just enjoy some family time.”

“Pam Sorenson is a tough girl. She tried to take me down. I went head hunting and really wanted the knockout. I am convinced that I did enough to win the fight.”
