TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

Залишити коментар

 

SANTA MONICA, КАЛИФОРНИЯ (Грудня. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, І Рут (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place в цю п'ятницю на "Bellator 168: Sakara vs. Бельтран," на Грудня. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4PM ET/PT.

 

В тільки 26 років, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Тайрелл Фортуна (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) а також Аарон Піко і Ромеро Бавовна – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, Пенсільванія, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Каліфорнія., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Джош Кошчек і Кріс Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Листопад. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 у першому турі.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Алессіо Sakara (18-11, 2 Північна Кароліна), who will duke it out with Joey “The Mexicutioner” Beltran (17-13, 1 Північна Кароліна) in a light heavyweight main event. Other Bellator MMA competitors will also be in action, у тому числі Джон Солтер (12-3), Ямаучи до (31-9) і Філіп Лінс(10-1).

 

The Bellator Kickboxing brand will also be on display in Italy with a card that features a female flyweight rematch between Деніз Кільгольц (45-3) і Gloria Peritore (11-1-1), but this time, a world title will be on the line. "Bellator кікбоксингу: Florence” will also include a lightweight clash between Giorgio Petrosyan (82-2-2, 1 Північна Кароліна) and British kickboxing champion Jordan Watson (48-11-2), a middleweight matchup pitting Джо Шилінг (19-9) проти Victorio Lermano (30-7), a welterweight contest pairing Luca Novello (22-4-2) з Karim Ghajji (96-13-1), і Kevin Ross(31-9) зустрінеться Alessio Arduini (26-14-2) в легкому боротьбі.

The former featherweight returned to the lightweight division to face the aforementioned Couture earlier in the year at "Bellator 162: Шлеменко проти.

Since signing with Bellator MMA, the calm and subdued Kato has been in nothing but absolute barn burners once the cage door shuts. The exciting fights have even transcended combat sport iterations, when at "Bellator MMA: Dynamite 2” Kato delivered a spinning back fist that stopped Джо Шилінг in his tracks, the second finish in as many tries for “The Japanese Musketeer” against “Stitch Em’ Up.” Currently situated in France, the 33-year-old has had one MMA contest thus far in 2016, stopping Yuta Watanabe in April.

When he’s not traveling the world in an effort to learn everything there is to know about the different martial arts disciplines, Matthews is putting his skills to the test under the Bellator MMA umbrella. A veteran of Strikeforce, “The Mercenary” has laced up the gloves seven times previously for the Viacom-owned promotion, stopping his opponent in all but one of his victories. Primarily training at Alliance MMA throughout his career, Matthews has spent much of his time as of late in Thailand, even taking a Muay Thai bout before meeting Бен Рейтер на "Bellator 156: Гальван проти. Dantas 2.”

Якраз в 23-річної, Yamauchi is one of the premiere young talents in the sport of MMA today. Prior to joining Bellator MMA, the Japanese submission specialist amassed an unfathomable 14-1 запис з 11 submissions and one knockout. Since merging with the Scott Coker-led promotion, Yamauchi has strung together a promising mark of 5-2 with three rear-naked choke submissions. Of his 19 career wins, 15 прийшли шляхом подачі, while no opponent has yet been able to finish the elusive fighter. Yamauchi will now jump up in weight class and join the lightweight division for a clash with one of the most legendary last names in MMA, Couture.

Known to many as the son of former world champion Randy Couture, Ryan has made 14 professional appearances over his career, all of which took place under the bright lights of a national promotion like Strikeforce or Bellator MMA. Residing in Las Vegas, the 34-year-old submission specialist enters the cage having won four of his past five contests, with each of his victories coming by way of rear-naked choke submission. Although there is a noticeable age difference between his opponent, Yamauchi made his professional debut a mere two months after Couture, in October of 2010. Tune in to SPIKE on Жовтень 21 to see which Bellator MMA lightweight powerhouse will emerge victorious.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, з “Вовк” taking down the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” and initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked choke — that Warren refused to tap to — forcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 першого раунду.

Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Маркос Гальван, simply saying: “F*ck you [Маркос] Гальван, you’re a p*ssy.” That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. Тим часом, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Едуардо Dantas when they do finally meet.

 

У спільній головній події вечора, Фернандо Гонсалес (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of Гілберт Сміт (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ системи показників, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 хвилин. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with Michael Page, who was originally slated to face “Menifee Maniac” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “Bellator 153: Koreshkov vs. Хендерсон” Квітня 22, коли Бен Хендерсон challenges Андрій Корінців for the welterweight belt.

 

Ямаучи до (19-3) came into his fight against Bubba Дженкінс (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, але “The Highlight Kid’s” effective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 втрати Георгій Караханян.

During the opening main card contest at “Bellator 151: Уоррен проти. Колдвелл,” Сірван какао (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Джо Таймангло (22-6-1) одноголосним рішенням суддів (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as though “Baby Joe” was going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — but “Zohan” weathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. Наприкінці, судді’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

Джо Уоррен (13-4) проти. Darrion Колдуелл (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. Зараз, Warren has his sights set on another run with the 135-pound title, a belt he lost during an intense encounter with Маркос Гальван early in 2015. A 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, боротьба.

 

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 Шон Букет 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 [Кроляча садок] with a No. 1 contender shot on the line, sooner rather than later.”

 

Фернандо Гонсалес (24-13) проти. Гілберт Сміт (12-4)

Gonzalez took a brief hiatus from MMA to compete in the kickboxing portion of the groundbreaking "Bellator MMA: Динаміт 1 " event in September, losing a tightly contest decision to world-renowned striker Павло "Семтекс" Дейлі. 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. "Плануючи 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.

 

Ямаучи до (19-2) проти. Bubba Дженкінс (10-2)

Yamauchi comes into the fight riding a wave of momentum he’s caught after wins against Майк Richman, Мартін Степлтон, і Исао Кобаясі. The 23-year-old Japanese fighter has only lost once in six appearances under the Bellator MMA banner and has notched 15 з його 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, недавно, an impressive offensive display against a promising prospect in Йорданія Парсонс.

 

Сірван какао (12-3) проти. Джо Таймангло (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 бої. 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.
