FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (Veljača 16, 2020) – In his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debi, combat sports legend Hector Lombard poražen David Mundell jednoglasnom odlukom (49-46, 48-47, 48-47) Saturday in the headlining event of BKFC 10 live on pay-per-view from the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

In a cruiserweight clash that went the full five rounds, Lombard controlled the majority of the fight, but Mundell used his jab and was able to land a few notable right hands to keep the fight interesting.

“I was aggressive and I scored the points,” said Lombard in victory. “He was backing up the whole time, but my hat off to him. I never thought it was going to be that tough, but he put up a good fight.

“I wanted to be in bare knuckle because I wanted the experience, and now I have it,” continued Lombard. “I’m pretty sure I have to change my game plan and some little things, but it was an amazing experience.”

A frustrated Mundell said, “I kept the distance really well. I played the better boxing game. I understand this is bare knuckle and everybody wants to see us slug it out, and he gave more pressure. I give him props for that, but let’s run it back and see what happens.”

The BKFC 10 co-main event featured Jim Alers pobijedivši Kaleb Harris by majority decision (50-44, 48-46, 47-47) in an all-action 155-pound contest. Alers swarmed Harris from the opening bell, knocking Harris down :30 into the first stanza. Alers then got off to another fast start in round two, using his jab to set up devastating right hands.

U krugu od tri, Harris settled in and proved himself a game opponent. Međutim, Alers got right back to his ferocious ways in round four, punishing Harris early and landing numerous clean shots. Alers continued to use his superior striking in the fifth round to close out the decision win.

“Our game plan was to just stay in his face,” said Alers. “He had long range and good power. I wanted to stay close, use my clinch, not get hit by those hooks. He’s a tough (guy) iako. I hit him with some hard shots and he just kept on coming.

“My Jiu Jitsu helps and comes in handy,” continued Alers. “I’m able to push him around, control his weight, and it definitely plays a part in this game. U MMA, I always wanted to take people down and submit them. Now that I get the chance to just knock people out, I’m hungry for blood. I’m hungry for those knockouts. Next one, I promise you guys a knockout!”

On the pay-per-view undercard, Luis Palomino dominirao Elvin Brito in a 155-pound bout that went the distance. Palomino was able to avoid getting hit and cruised to a wide unanimous decision (49-46, 50-45, 50-45) pobjeda.

Uliks Diaz got a quick stoppage victory over Brian Maxwell in a 195-pound contest. Midway through the first round, Diaz landed multiple punches in the clinch as Maxwell grabbed his forehead and fell to the canvas in pain. Maxwell appeared unable to continue and the referee halted the contest 1:13 into round one.

Dat Nguyen squared off against Abdiel Velazquez in an extremely spirited 135-pound fight. It was a furious pace from the opening bell, Nguyen landing first and dropping Velazquez. Velazquez continued to force the fast action and he caught Nguyen, dropping Nguyen to the mat for the first time in his professional combat sports career. As the fighters settled into the later stages of the first round, Nguyen landed a huge left that knocked Velazquez out cold. The referee immediately waved off the fight 1:51 into round one.

Gustavo Trujillo poražen Lorenzo Hunt by technical knockout in the first round of their 205-pound scrap. As Hunt lunged forward to throw a punch, Trujillo landed a powerful, short right hand of his own, send Hunt crashing to the canvas face-first. Hunt made it back to his feet, but the referee had seen enough, calling a stop to the action just 1:01 into the first frame.

Francesco Ricchi Zaustavio Fred Pierce in the first round of their 175-pound contest. An extremely reckless Pierce got caught and dropped early by Ricchi. Pierce elected to get up and fight on, but continued his wild ways, got stunned again and then stopped on his feet at the 1:38 Oznaka krugu.

In the opening pay-per-view bout, Travis Thompson secured a second-round stoppage victory over Joshua Boudreaux in their 135-pound fight. Thompson focused on the body and dropped Boudreaux twice, once in the first round and again in the second round, on his way to a technical knockout at the :15 oznaka drugom krugu.

Kubanski olimpijac & UFC Veteran Looks to Conquer
BKFC Light Heavyweight Division

PHILADELPHIA (Listopad 8, 2019) – Former Olympian and UFC standoutHector Lombard has become the latest fighter to sign with Bare koljenica Fighting Championship (BKFC) as he looks to make his mark in the biggest and best bare knuckle fights that the sport has to offer.

Lombard is the first-ever Olympian to sign with BKFC, having represented Cuba in judo in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Australija.

“I’ve wanted to fight for this amazing organization for a while and I’m excited that it’s all come together,” said Lombard, who will compete in the 185-pound light heavyweight division. “Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship is the next level of fighting and I am glad to be part of it.”

“Hector Lombard is one of the most devastating punchers in MMA history and we are looking for Hector to make a huge splash with BKFC,” rekao je osnivač i predsjednik BKFC-a David Feldman. “Kao navijač, I cannot wait to see how Hector does in the squared circle. He’s exciting and explosive. This is an incredible signing.”

Lombard also holds the distinction of being the first Bellator champion to sign with BKFC. He was the inaugural Bellator middleweight champion, winning the title in 2009. Lombard went 8 – 0 in Bellator with seven finishes, including a six-second knockout of UFC veteran Jay Silva in May of 2010.

Lombard relinquished the Bellator middleweight championship in 2012, when he moved to the UFC. In the UFC, Lombard fought a total of 12 puta, recording notable knockout wins against Rousimar Palhares and Nate Marquardt.

In his professional MMA career, Lombard tallied 34 pobjeda, 22 of which have come by knockout or TKO. He is regarded as one of the hardest punching middleweights and welterweights in MMA history.

Lombard is from Cuba and moved to Australia after the 2000 Ljetne olimpijske igre. He now lives in Florida.

UFC i PEDs: Gdje idemo odavde?

Ostavite komentar


Photo Credit: Esther Lin / MMA Fighting

Obično kad sam postaviti to pitanje, to je na tragu pogledom pay-per-i pitam se naglas, na što je sljedeće za borce koji su se natjecali na njemu. Ovaj put, Govorim o nečemu što utječe na sve mješovite borilačke umjetnika u Ultimate Fighting Championship.

UFC najavio ovaj tjedan da će provesti daleko strože, daleko više sveobuhvatan testiranje na droge u svjetlu boraca poput Anderson Silva a Hector Lombard u nedostatku testovi za droge za bolju izvedbu (PEDs), dok Jon Jones a Nick Diaz Neuspjeli Testovi za kokain i marihuanu, odnosno.

Povećana droge testiranje i oštrija kazna može samo pomoći u UFC, i mješovitih borilačkih vještina u cjelini. No, ono što je donio na ovaj porast neuspjelih testova? PEDs su dio sporta davno prije MMA boraca počela uzimati ih, i oni su bili problem u MMA prije prošlog mjeseca-i-pol.

No, više borci čini se da je dobivanje uhvaćen. Kao iu većini sportova, postoji ogromna količina pritiska nastupati u MMA i UFC-. Ako ne obavljaju, u osnovi ne biti plaćen. Povećana potražnja za UFC programiranje na temelju svog posla s FOX također može biti faktor. Oni su otišli od toga da bude na Spike TV-u – gdje su samo emitirati "The Ultimate Fighter" jednom godišnje, a dva ili tri žive borba kartice jednom godišnje – to praktički s dva live borba kartice mjesec i emitiranje "The Ultimate Fighter" dva puta godišnje na FOX kanalima.

Povećanje programiranje znači potrebu za više tijela ispuniti tu programiranje. To također znači da se više borci trening za više borbe, što može dovesti do više ozljeda. PEDs, Osim što vam daje konkurentsku prednost nad svojim protivnikom, omogućuju vam da se oporavim od ozljede brže. Uz potrebu za više boraca za popunu više borba kartice, Mislim da je to moguće, očito porast neuspjelih ispitivanja lijekova može barem biti djelomično pripisati da.

UFC-a pojačanih mjera droge testiranje na snagu srpnja 1. Ono što možemo očekivati ​​nakon što čini? Ovdje su neke od smjernica UFC predstavio.

Čak UFC predsjednik Lorenzo Fertitta priznao tijekom ovog tjedna na konferenciji za novinare da su se stvari "bi se pogoršati prije nego što bolji" s novim ispitivanje. Više, ostaje da se vidi koliko je to zapravo će ostati nakon srpnja 1 role oko. UFC je prethodno razmotriti širi svoje droga-testiranje napore prije no povukli, navodeći cijene a prije neuspjeli pokušaj tome.

Međutim, s osip na high-profile zvijezde poput Silva, Jones i Diaz nedostatku ispitivanja, troškova ne može se smatrati smetnja i UFC mora biti oprezan. Pregledavanje moje Twitter feed sljedeće press konferencije, bilo je jezivo tiho. Gotovo nema borci prosuđuje u početku. Vrlo je vjerojatno da je samo nusprodukt press konferenciji odvija na srijedu popodne, kada je većina ljudi rade i vjerojatno imaju i druge stvari koje treba učiniti osim postu na Twitteru. No, to je još uvijek prilično znakovit. Čini se kao da je to uhvatio pozornost boraca ', kao što bi trebao.

Što mislim da će se dogoditi? Tu će biti povećanje neuspjelog testa nakon nove mjere stupiti na snagu srpnja 1, Ja sam prilično uvjeren. No, s obzirom da je UFC podupire oštre kazne za one koji to ne uspiju – uključujući zabranu od najviše četiri godine – Očekujem prljave borce da bi na kraju ciklusa se van i oni koji se natječu čista (što je većina, vjerojatno) uzeti veću ulogu.

Povećana testiranje na droge je odavno u UFC-. Sport po sebi mješovitih borilačkih vještina je još uvijek u povojima, pogotovo u usporedbi s drugim sportovima poput nogometa, košarku i baseball. No, baš kao što je baseball i dalje se oporavlja od vlastite krize s PEDs, ovi nedavni neuspjeli droga testovi su potresla temelje UFC te harkened natrag u dane kada je nazivaju "ljudski cockfighting."

UFC je usvojila slogan "Vrijeme je sada" za 2015, a ja se ne mogu složiti više. Vrijeme je sada za njih da preuzmu vodstvo u čišćenje sport mješovitih borilačkih vještina.

Chris Huntemann piše o mješovitim borilačkim vještinama u državi Maryland. On također dijeli svoje misli na UFC-, Bellator, i World Series of Fighting. Provjerite svoje blog, ili ga pratiti na Twitteru: mmamaryland.
