BELLATOR MMA ÉS LA NOVA CASA DE LLUITA DE WANDERLEI ‘THE AX MURDERER’ SILVA

Leave a comment

El president de Bellator Scott Coker i Wanderlei Silva (Crèdit: Bellator / Lucas Noonan)

 

SANTA MONICA (Març 2, 2016) –Bellator MMA té el plaer d'anunciar que és una de les més populars, lluitadors reconeixibles i estimats en l'esport de les arts marcials mixtes, Wanderlei "L'Assassí Axe" Silva (35-12-1), ha signat un contracte plurianual exclusiu, contracte de lluita múltiple amb la promoció. L'home de 39 anys va presentar ofertes públiques d'empreses de tot el món, però l'antic campió de pes mitjà del Pride FC va prendre la decisió de portar el seu estil explosiu a Bellator MMA.

 

"The Axe Murderer" ha lluitat en alguns dels feus i batalles més memorables que l'esport hagi vist mai.. Les seves guerres amb Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, Tito Ortiz, Mirko cro policia, Vitor Belfort, I Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Chuck Liddell, i Michael Bisping són coses de llegenda, però Silva està lluny d'estar preparat per tancar el llibre sobre la seva il·lustre carrera..

 

A més del seu campionat mundial de pes mitjà Pride FC, La caixa de trofeus plena de reconeixements de Silva inclou premis per a la lluita de l'any (2003, 2004, 2007), KO de l'Any (2008), i múltiples premis Fight of the Night inclòs un per a cadascun dels seus tres últims combats, només per citar-ne alguns. Ara vol continuar oferint el seu premiat, baralles entretingudes dins de la gàbia de Bellator.

 

Silva té diverses opcions per a la seva primera baralla amb Bellator. Tot i que ha passat la major part de la seva carrera amb 185 lliures, una de les coses que els seus fans més estimen d'ell ha estat la voluntat de Wanderlei de lluitar contra el millor dels millors, fins i tot si hagués pujat dues classes de pes en pes pesat, com ho demostren les seves guerres de pes pesat contra nois com Mark Hunt., Gilbert Yvel, Kazuyuki Fujita i Cro Cop; O, les seves lluites contra pesos lleugers com Ortiz, i el seu oponent més recent, Brian Stann, a qui va noquejar en el segon fotograma.

 

Silva és l'últim d'una llarga sèrie de fitxatges recents d'agents lliures fets per Scott Coker i Bellator MMA. S'incorpora l'antic competidor de Chute Box: Josh Thomson, Phil Davis, Benson Henderson, Sergei Kharitonov i Anastasia Yankova en una llista amb campions com: Marc Galvao, Daniel Straus, Will Brooks, Andrey Koreshkov, Rafael Carvalho, Liam McGeary iVitaly Minakov,

UFC Fight Night: The Swedish Are Coming!

In a land once popularized in a Tom Green (remember him?) song – “Lonely Swedish (The Bum Bum Song)” – the Ultimate Fighting Championship brings a Fight Night card that will hopefully bring more attention than a song about a Canadian’s ass.

The first FOX card of the new year, UFC Fight Night: Suècia, brings the national stage of FOX overseas and gives America a glimpse into the UFC’s ongoing overseas expansion. But unlike previous UFC overseas cards, this one is not short on star power. Let’s see if a clear-cut no. 1 contender for Jon Jones’ light heavyweight title will emerge.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) vs. Sam Sicília (13-5) (Featherweight – 145 lliures.)

This is a matchup of The Ultimate Fighter alumni, with both guys coming off losses and Corassani coming off back-to-back losses to Max Holloway and Dustin Poirier. Corassani’s also been finished early in both fights, while Sicilia is coming off a submission loss. In a crowded featherweight division, a knockout or submission victory would go a long way toward boosting either of these gentlemen’s stock. I like Sicilia to finish Corassani and possibly give him his walking papers after three straight losses.

Guanyador: Sicilia by second-round TKO

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan "Darth" Bader (19-4) (Pes lleuger - 205 lliures.)

Both of these guys are poised for another run at the top of the light heavyweight division. Both of these guys are coming off victories and actually faced each other in college when Davis wrestled for Penn State and Bader wrestled for Arizona State. Davis uses his wrestling to smother opponents and grind out unanimous decision victories, while Bader uses his wrestling when necessary but also has lethal knockout power.

I expect Davis to try and get this fight to the ground early, and if he succeeds I think he can use his reach advantage and athleticism to keep Bader down. Bader must keep this fight standing to have a chance, and I think he will avoid the temptation to avenge his college loss to Davis by engaging in another wrestling match. I like Bader to land more shots and score an upset victory.

Guanyador: Bader by unanimous decision

Dan “Hendo” Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (De pes mitjà - 185 lliures.)

Henderson returns to middleweight after a mostly ill-fated run at light heavyweight, including being tossed around like a rag doll and submitted by Daniel Cormier in his last fight. Posar -ho, if Henderson can’t land his patented “H-Bomb” right hand for a knockout, he’s easily susceptible to defeat.

I think the wars of years past are finally catching up to Henderson. He will go down as one of the greatest fighters ever not to hold a UFC title, but he simply can’t keep up with the sport’s elite any more. He will leave himself open when wanting to drop the H-Bomb, and Mousasi will take advantage.

Guanyador: Mousasi by third-round submission

Alexander “The Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Pes lleuger - 205 lliures.)

The winner of this fight will receive the next shot at light heavyweight champion Jon Jones, and it would represent a rematch for Gustafsson. He took Jones closer to defeat than anyone else has during their epic 2013 duel. Depending on who ask, some people think the Swede actually won that fight.

Johnson is rapidly ascending the 205-pound ladder after knocking out Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and scoring an upset win over Phil Davis to begin his climb. Johnson also has devastating knockout power and if he lands one such shot on Gustafsson, the Swede’s road to redemption is derailed. But I think Gustafsson uses his reach advantage (which is nearly identical to Jones) to keep Johnson at bay and make Johnson go a full five rounds.

Gustafsson’s striking in the 205-pound division is second to none, and I like him to land enough of those to secure a rematch with Jones later this year.

Guanyador: Gustafsson by unanimous decision
