BELLATOR MMA 273: BADER VS. MOLDAVSKÝ MAIN CARD:
C-Ryan Bader (29-7, 1 NC) porazil IC-Valentin Moldavsky (11-2) via jednomyslným rozhodnutím (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)

Ryan Bader obhajuje titul v těžké váze: ""Samozřejmě, byl to opravdu těsný boj a na konci jsem jako muž, který je přehazován. Měl jsem pocit, že jsem způsobil více škody, ale bylo to tak dobré, protože poslední boj byl boj, který jsem prohrál. Ale bylo to tam a zpět, dokonce bojovat celých pět kol. Je prostě antiklimatické vyrazit tam a mít vzrušující pětikolový šampionát těžké váhy s tvrdým chlapem v Arizoně. Chtěl jsem to tak zlé!

Nikdy nejsem příliš sebevědomý, jít k soudcům, víte. Je to poprvé v životě, kdy jsem doufal, že neskórovali v zápase. Pěkně jsem ho kolébal svými údery a všechno jsem viděl jasně. Podcenil jsem jeho sevření, zámek jeho těla, tímto podivným pohybem přede mnou stále šlapal a je silnější, než jsem si myslel. Nikdy mě nezvedli jako předtím...ale řekl jsem si, že budu dál vstávat a pak pokračovat ve stávkách. Nakonec se tam jen držel a já přistál 20 nezodpovězené lokty do hlavy. Ty nelze ignorovat, a tak když šel do bodovacích karet, Řekl jsem, kdo teď ví…“

#6-Benson Henderson (29-11) poražený #7-Islám Mamedov (20-2-1) přes dělené rozhodnutí (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Benson Henderson po vítězství před svým rodným městem: "Bojuji před mým adoptivním rodným městem Phoenix.", AZ, je to úžasné. Minule jsem Arizoně nepředvedl moc dobrou show. Tentokrát, Myslel jsem si, že mám lepší výkon, takže vyhrát nebo prohrát, věděl jsem, že s tím dokážu žít. Prostě dobrý výkon, ne skvělý výkon, ale dobrý výkon, na rozdíl od špatného výkonu, vyhrát nebo prohrát, po skvělých výkonech se vždy cítíte dobře. Hledáme dokonalost. Pokud napíšete knihu, všichni tito novináři, všichni tito filmaři, chtějí z nich udělat součást filmu a pak natočit úžasný film. Pokud chcete, pak musíte ze sebe vydat to nejlepší, co umíte, a proto vždy sleduji lepší výkon.“
"Dnes večer, zvednout ruku je úžasné. Bylo to poprvé, co jsem bojoval před svými syny, moji dva nejstarší synové. My 6 ročního a mého 4letého. Dnešní noc byla skvělá, ale nejsou to všechny skvělé noci, takže se učím rozhodně ocenit ty dobré, když je mám.“

"Cítil jsem, že jsem udělal dost, abych si zasloužil zvednutí ruky.", ale člověk prostě nikdy neví. Jak vždy říká Burt Watson, pokud to necháte na rozhodčích, rozpláčou tě. Má naprostou pravdu. Tak, Rozhodně to nikdy nechci nechat na rozhodčích. Když někdo říká rozdělené rozhodnutí, jsem jako ach ne, moji chlapci jsou v ringu...ale byla to dobrá noc, takže jsem za to byl vděčný."

Henry Corrales (20-6) poražený Aiden Lee (10-6) jednomyslným technickým rozhodnutím (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) - (náhodné píchnutí do oka)

Henry Corrales po svém vítězství: "Rozhodně to není způsob, jakým jsem to chtěl ukončit tady ve Phoenixu.". Fanoušci si zaslouží víc a to není nic proti němu, je to jen trochu pozdě a tohle byl poslední boj o moji smlouvu. Toto byl můj 15. zápas s BELLATOR a moje 20. vítězství, takže v tomto boji se hodně jezdí. Potřeboval jsem tam jít a předvést dobrý výkon… zkusil jsem to.“

Neměl jsem pocit, že jsem do něj opravdu šťouchl, abych k tobě byl upřímný, a záznam ukazoval, že to prostě nevypadalo tak vážně, jak to předváděl., ale je to oko, takže jen on ví, jak moc to bolelo. Byl poté velmi rozrušený a já jsem byl jako hej velký pes, nešťouchl jsem do tebe schválně. Chci říct, že tohle je pěstní souboj! Ale, poté odešel z klece a choval se zklamaně, že boj byl zastaven, ale zatímco boj probíhal, ve skutečnosti nebojoval. Jeho chování bylo mimo a tak nějak fňukal na výstřely a je to jako vole, že jsi opravdu nešel, jen jsi hrál."

Sabah Homasi (16-10) poražený Jaleel Willis (15-4) via předložení (paže-trojúhelník) na 1:42 z prvního kola

Sabah Homasi po vítězství v podání: „Je to jeden z kopů, které jsem hodil, právě jsem kopl do tvrdého muže. Očekávám to po každém boji, ale jen malé otoky. Po každém souboji je to stejné ze všech mých kopů."

"Víš, já prostě beru, co mi dají.". Měl jsem jeho záda, Myslel jsem, že budu mít zadní část nahou. Nerad na něco vynakládám příliš mnoho energie, takže pokud to nemám, nebudu to nutit. Vezmu něco, co tam je, tak jsem to nechal být a připravil jsem malou past. Je to něco, s čím jsem velmi dobře přešel zezadu na tento trik, tak to tam bylo a já to vzal."

„Dřív mi něco říkal, a když mi něco říká, měl by to říct jako muž. Řekni to svou zatracenou hrudí, nešeptej to. Zapomněl jsem, co řekl, ale řekl jsem mu, že dnes večer pocítí skutečnou sílu a to bylo vše a pak očividně rychlý boj. jsem zdravý, Jsem ve skvělé kondici, vrátím se do posilovny a kdykoli mi BELLATOR dá vědět, dám svému manažerovi zelenou.“

POST-FIGHT VIDEO INTERVIEWS HERE

C-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) poražený #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) přes TKO (stávky) na 4:51 z kola pěti

Cris Cyborg after retaining the title:

“I knew she was tough and I’ve fought her before. I know her and respect her and she’s a real fighter. I knew with her it would be a great match, because she’s capable and she’s tough."

“I was really working in sparring to keep going and going because I knew it was going to be this way. I noticed I enjoyed it a little more. It’s going to be 16 years as a professional fighter this month so I started to enjoy it in there."



“I’ve been working on grappling my whole life but I just feel like I’m getting better and better every day. I got a black belt, but it’s like a white belt because I’m always learning."

“I’ve been doing this 16 léta, I’ve got four titles. But before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’ So, I’d like to fight with Cat Zingano and I will ask Scott Coker. Because before you can be a G.O.A.T. you have to fight the ‘Cat.’”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) poražený Darrion Caldwell (15-5) přes dělené rozhodnutí (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

“I’ve been waiting for this fight for three years now. It’s exactly how I wanted it to go. I used my wrestling and I used my jiu-jitsu. I’m a complete fighter and I’m ready for any fighter on the planet because I believe I’m the best. I knew I had lost the first round, but in the second when he was throwing all those elbows and cut me open, I’m from a poor family in Brazil and that was nothing I hadn’t seen before. I felt happy being in that cage with blood all over me.

“He ended up taking me down in the second and I went for a kimura, which is something I’m very accustomed to doing, but he reversed it but then he didn’t do anything and I hit him with a lot of strikes on bottom. A lot of elbows and strikes and I stayed very on bottom and he wasn’t doing anything. That’s why I won the second and third round.”

“I think that I deserve a title shot. I just beat three of the biggest names in the game and I just beat a former world champion. And nobody has beaten the top three guys of this world-class caliber like I have done in three consecutive wins. I’m going for that world title and that’s what’s next for me. So let’s make it fast.”

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) poražený #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) via jednomyslným rozhodnutím (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford following his unanimous decision win:

“I like my fights bloody, whether it’s me or my opponent. I’ll get a scab. But hats off to Fabian who cut me up a little bit. But happy to get the win.”

“He was a big, strong guy. I started feeling him give me that head and arm choke. Bohužel, I didn’t capitalize on it. But I knew what I was going to do. I was going to just grind it out. He’s a good striker so I had to be careful but I felt good. Wrestling … it’s my heart. I’m ready for the next step.”

Jaleel Willis (15-2) poražený Maycon Mendonca (11-5) via jednomyslným rozhodnutím (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) poražený #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) via jednomyslným rozhodnutím (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy following her first win inside the BELLATOR cage…

“I felt like I had really good cardio, so that was awesome because I was really worried about that a little bit. I’m so thankful she took the fight and I’m so thankful BELLATOR gave me this opportunity.

“I thought I was going to finish with the triangle (sytič), poctivě. She just slipped right out of there, so that was awesome of her. Her defense was really good. I was really impressed with that. I didn’t know what her ground game was but it was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.

“Grappling is just where I want to be if you’ve seen any of my other fights. My striking has really improved a lot though so I’m hoping to change that. But grappling has always been my strong suit. I didn’t want to just depend on my grappling, but I thought I landed some shots pretty well a few times. In this fight I thought I could see when the punches were coming. And I was able to defend a little bit better and how I’ve grown. So I’m just really proud of myself right now.”

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Boj Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion has a new main event at LFA 28, which takes place next week at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas.

LFA 28 will feature a new main event when UFC vet DamonThe LeechJackson battles longtime rival and fellow Legacy FC alum Luis Luna in a lightweight rematch. The change came when original headliner Evan Cutts suffered an injury in training. Undefeated prospect Jaleel Willis was set to face Cutts, but will now have his LFA debut at a future date. LFA 28 – Jackson vs. Luna takes place this Pátek, December 8th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Celá hlavní karta bude vysílán živě a na celostátní úrovni AXS televizi na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT.
Damon Jackson is a UFC vet and former Legacy champion that is coming off an impressive submission win at LFA 16,” Stanovené Soares. “He will face his longtime rival Luis Luna, who has been wanting a rematch with Jackson for over four and a half years. LFA started at The Bomb Factory in Dallas in January and returned in July. We will continue our exciting history in Big D next week at LFA 28.
Vstupenky na LFA 28 – Jackson vs. Luna are available for purchase NOW at TheBombFactory.com.
Jackson (12-2-1) comes into this fight looking to remind people that history has a way of repeating itself in the world of combat sports. V dubnu 2013, Jackson faced Luna (14-6) in his fifth professional fight. The bout was Luna’s eleventh as a professional fighter. Jackson won the bout via armbar, but not without a bit of controversy.
The fight was back and forth until Jackson landed an illegal knee to a downed opponent in Round 1. The referee stopped the action and re-centered the fighters, but Luna was angry. When Jackson put his hand out to touch gloves, Luna ignored the gesture and threw a left hook and a flurry of punches that dropped Jackson. The NAIA All-American, Jackson, used his elite wrestling skills to survive the round.
In Round 2, both fighters came out firing. Luna gained top position off a trip that he utilized during the early striking exchange. Jackson, who is a master scrambler and appropriately nicknamedThe Leech”, quickly got back to his feet and landed a double-leg takedown. He then advanced seamlessly into a full mount. After raining down some ground and pound, Luna turned and Jackson moved with him, while transitioning into a fight-ending belly down armbar at the 1:15 mark of Round 2.
Jackson got the win that night, but Luna feels that the fight is not finished. While Jackson went on to gain fame fighting for Legacy FC, UFC, a LFA, Luna also elevated his profile by fighting in Legacy FC and is widely considered one of the top lightweights in the state of Texas. While Jackson is looking to have history repeat itself, Luna is aiming to prove another old adage. That would be the one that says lightning never strikes twice in the same place. Therein, as the Bard would tell us, lies the rub. The LFA 28 headliner will settle this bad blood rivalry, while also determining which maxim expresses the most truth.

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Boj Alliance (LFA) CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will return to northern Texas next month at LFA 28 with a pair of talented veterans facing undefeated prospects at the top of the card.
V hlavní události, Legacy FC standout EvanThe ButcherCutts faces top undefeated prospect JaleelThe RealestWillis in a welterweight war. Ve spolupráci headliner, UFC vet DamonThe LeechJackson squares off with undefeated Kansan ThaiLandsharkClark in a lightweight showdown. LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis takes place this Pátek, December 8th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. Celá hlavní karta bude vysílán živě a na celostátní úrovni AXS televizi na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT.
Evan Cutts is a long-time Legacy FC standout that has made a name for himself by taking out big name prospects,” Stanovené Soares. “He will make his LFA debut against Jaleel Willis, who is one of the top undefeated welterweight prospects in the sport. LFA started at The Bomb Factory in Dallas in January and returned in July. LFA 28 will continue our exciting history in Big D on Pátek, December 8th.”
Vstupenky na LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis are available for purchase NOW at TheBombFactory.com.
Cutts (8-3) is a longtime Legacy FC standout that will be making his LFA debut in front of his friends and family in the Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) oblast. “The Butcherhas made a career out of cutting through the dreams of highly-touted prospects, while proving to be one of the most formidable ground specialists in the 170-pound division. V 2011, not long after his 20th birthday, the now 26-year-old Texan made his pro debut and quickly gained global recognition later that year. This happened when he faced Reagan Penn, the prodigious younger brother of UFC Hall of Fame member B.J. Penn. Cutts eagerly took the high-profile bout and made the most of his opportunity by defeating the jiu-jitsu wunderkind. Cutts later reached the quarter-finals of Bellator’s hit reality television show Fight Master. Now the Legacy FC standout is looking to hand another highly-touted prospect his first career loss in the main event of LFA 28.

Willis (8-0) makes his LFA debut to much fanfare. Widely-regarded as one of the top prospects in the world at 170-pounds, the Memphis native has done it all and made it look easy up to this point. The Bellator and WSOF vet has run roughshod over the competition throughout his three and a half year career. After winning a regional title in his hometown over the summer, Willis signed a multi-fight contract with LFA, the leading developmental organization for prospects looking to reach the UFC. His first assignment as an LFA fighter will be the perfect task for the hungry, young welterweight. The 25-year-old heads into enemy territory to face a man many consider a trueprospect killerin the headlining bout of LFA 28. If successful, the man known asThe Realestcould cement his case as the realest threat to current LFA welterweight champion James Nakashima, while also pushing himself up the overall pound-for-pound prospect list.

Ko-main event of LFA 28 will feature another showdown between a battle-tested veteran looking to regain past glory and an aspiring undefeated prospect looking for a marquee win. Three-time UFC vet and former Legacy FC featherweight champion DamonThe LeechJackson is moving back up to the lightweight division, which is the same weight class where he made his UFC debut on the main card of UFC 177. He will take on undefeated Bellator vet ThaiLandshark” Clark, who will be competing in his first live televised fight. The Kansas native is looking to take advantage of this opportunity by staying undefeated against his toughest test to date.
