FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA. (Februari 16, 2020) – In his Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship (BKFC) debut, combat sports legend Hector Lombard dikalahkan David Mundell dengan keputusan sebulat suara (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, Fla.

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 mengalahkan 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.

Dalam pusingan tiga, Harris settled in and proved himself a game opponent. Walau bagaimanapun, 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) walaupun. 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. Dalam 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 dikuasai 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) kemenangan.

Ulysses 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 dikalahkan 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 berhenti 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 mark of round one.

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 tanda pusingan kedua.

MMA STAR HECTOR LOMBARD SIGNS WITH BARE KNUCKLE FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP

Cuba Olympian & UFC Veteran Looks to Conquer
BKFC Light Heavyweight Division

PHILADELPHIA (Oktober 8, 2019) – Former Olympian and UFC standoutHector Lombard has become the latest fighter to sign with Bare Knuckle 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, Australia.

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,” said BKFC founder and president David Feldman. “Sebagai peminat, 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 kali, recording notable knockout wins against Rousimar Palhares and Nate Marquardt.

In his professional MMA career, Lombard tallied 34 kemenangan, 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 Sukan Olimpik Musim Panas. He now lives in Florida.

UFC dan PEDs: Jika kita pergi dari sini?


Photo Kredit: Ester Lin / MMA Pertempuran

Biasanya apabila saya bertanya soalan itu, itu di tengah-tengah pemandangan bayar-per-dan saya tertanya-tanya dengan kuat pada apa yang akan datang bagi pejuang yang bertanding di atasnya. Kali ini, Saya bercakap tentang sesuatu yang memberi kesan kepada artis mempertahankan diri SEMUA campuran pada Kejohanan Pertempuran Ultimate.

UFC mengumumkan minggu ini bahawa ia akan melaksanakan jauh lebih ketat, ujian dadah jauh lebih menyeluruh di tengah-pejuang seperti Anderson Silva dan Hector Lombard gagal ujian dadah untuk meningkatkan prestasi (PEDs), manakala Jon Jones dan Nick Diaz ujian gagal untuk kokain dan ganja, masing-masing.

Peningkatan ujian dadah dan hukuman yang lebih berat akan dapat membantu dalam UFC, dan seni mempertahankan diri campuran secara umum. Tetapi apa yang membawa kepada peningkatan dalam ujian ini gagal? PEDs telah menjadi sebahagian daripada sukan lama sebelum pejuang MMA mula mengambil mereka, dan mereka telah menjadi masalah di MMA sebelum bulan-dan-setengah yang lalu.

Tetapi lebih pejuang tampaknya ditangkap. Seperti dalam kebanyakan sukan, terdapat sejumlah besar tekanan untuk melaksanakan dalam MMA dan dalam UFC. Jika anda tidak melaksanakan, anda pada dasarnya tidak dibayar. Peningkatan permintaan untuk pengaturcaraan UFC menurut kuasa perjanjian dengan FOX juga boleh menjadi faktor yang. Mereka berubah daripada pada Spike TV – di mana mereka hanya menyiarkan "The Ultimate Fighter" sekali setahun dan dua atau tiga kad perjuangan hidup setiap tahun – untuk praktikal mempunyai dua kad perjuangan hidup sebulan dan menyiarkan "The Ultimate Fighter" dua kali setahun di saluran FOX.

Peningkatan pengaturcaraan ertinya memerlukan lebih banyak badan-badan untuk mengisi pengaturcaraan yang. Ia juga bermakna bahawa lebih pejuang berlatih lebih pergaduhan, yang boleh membawa kepada lebih banyak kecederaan. PEDs, di samping memberikan anda kelebihan daya saing berbanding lawan, membolehkan anda untuk pulih daripada kecederaan dengan lebih cepat. Dengan keperluan untuk lebih pejuang untuk mengisi lebih kad perjuangan, Saya rasa ada kemungkinan peningkatan yang ketara dalam ujian dadah gagal boleh sekurang-kurangnya sebahagiannya berpunca daripada yang.

Meningkat langkah dadah-ujian UFC ini berkuat kuasa Julai 1. Apa yang boleh kita harapkan sekali ia? Berikut adalah beberapa garis panduan UFC dibentangkan.

Malah UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta mengakui semasa sidang akhbar minggu ini bahawa perkara "akan menjadi lebih buruk sebelum mereka yang lebih baik" dengan ujian baru. Lebih banyak, ia masih belum dapat dilihat berapa banyak ini sebenarnya akan melekat sekali Julai 1 gulung di sekeliling. UFC sebelum ini dianggap memperluaskan usaha menguji dadah sebelum tetapi ditarik balik, kos memetik dan yang sebelum botched percubaan berbuat demikian.

Walau bagaimanapun, dengan ruam bintang berprofil tinggi seperti Silva, Jones dan Diaz ujian gagal, kos tidak boleh dianggap sebagai penghalang dan UFC perlu berwaspada. Melayari suapan Twitter saya selepas persidangan akhbar, ia adalah ngeri tenang. Hampir tidak ada pejuang ditimbang dalam pada mulanya. Ia mungkin bahawa hanya hasil sampingan daripada sidang akhbar itu yang berlaku pada petang Rabu, apabila kebanyakan orang yang bekerja atau mungkin ada perkara lain yang perlu dilakukan selain pos di Twitter. Tetapi ia masih ketara cantik. Ia seolah-olah seperti ini telah meraih perhatian pejuang ', seperti yang sepatutnya.

Apa yang saya fikir akan berlaku? Akan ada peningkatan dalam ujian gagal sekali langkah-langkah yang baru berkuat kuasa Julai 1, Saya agak yakin. Tetapi memandangkan bahawa UFC menyokong hukuman keras bagi orang-orang yang gagal – termasuk larangan sehingga empat tahun – Saya mengharapkan pejuang kotor untuk akhirnya kitaran diri mereka dan orang-orang yang bersaing bersih (yang merupakan sebahagian besar daripada mereka, mungkin) untuk mengambil peranan yang lebih besar.

Peningkatan ujian dadah adalah lama tertangguh dalam UFC. Sukan seni mempertahankan diri campuran sendiri masih di peringkat awal, terutamanya berbanding dengan sukan lain seperti bola sepak, bola keranjang dan besbol. Tetapi sama seperti besbol masih pulih daripada krisis sendiri dengan PEDs, ini ujian dadah baru-baru ini telah gagal digoncang asas kepada UFC dan telah harkened kembali kepada hari-hari apabila ia disebut sebagai "adu ayam manusia."

UFC pakai slogan "Masa Kini" untuk 2015, dan saya tidak boleh bersetuju lebih. Masa kini bagi mereka untuk menerajui membersihkan sukan seni mempertahankan diri campuran.
