Bellator MMA 273: BADER VS. MOLDAVSKY CARD MAIN:
C-Ryan Bader (29-7, 1 NC) defeated IC-Valentin Moldavsky (11-2) kupitia uamuzi usiojulikana (48-47, 48-47, 48-47)

Ryan Bader defends his heavyweight title: "“Obviously, it was a really close fight and at the end there I’m like man that’s a toss up. I felt like I did more damage but it felt so good considering the last fight was a fight I lost. But it was a back and forth, even fight the whole five rounds. It’s just anticlimactic to go out there and have a exciting heavyweight championship five-rounder with a tough dude in Arizona. I wanted that bad!

I’m never too confident, going to judges you know. It’s the first time in my life that I was hoping that they weren’t scoring for the wrestling. I was rocking him pretty good with my punches and I was seeing everything clearly. I underestimated his clenching, his body lock, he kept stepping in front of me with this weird move and he’s stronger than I thought. I’ve never been picked up like before…but I just told myself to keep getting up and then keep with the strikes. At the end there he was just holding on and I landed 20 unanswered elbows to his head. Those can’t be ignored and so when he went to the score cards, I said who knows now…”

#6-Benson Henderson (29-11) kushindwa #7-Uislamu Mamedov (20-2-1) kupitia uamuzi kupasuliwa (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

Benson Henderson following the win in front of his hometown: “Fighting in front of my adopted hometown Phoenix, THE, it’s amazing. Last time I didn’t give Arizona a very good show. Wakati huu, I thought I had a better performance so win or lose I knew that I could live with that. Just having a good performance, not a great performance but having a good performance, as opposed to having a bad performance, win or lose you always feel good after great performances. We’re seeking perfection. If you write a book, all these journalists, all these moviemakers, they want to make them part of a movie then make an amazing movie. If you want to, then you have to do your absolute best out there and that’s why I’m always after a better performance.”
“Tonight, getting my hand raised is awesome. This was the first time I fought in front of my sons, my two oldest sons. My 6 year-old and my 4-year-old. Tonight was a great night, but they’re not all great nights so I’m learning to definitely appreciate the good ones when I have them.”

“I felt that I did enough to deserve to get my hand raised, but you just never know. Like Burt Watson always says, if you leave it to the judges, they’re going to make you cry. He is absolutely right. Hivyo, I definitely don’t ever want to leave it to the judges. When someone says split decision I’m like oh no, my boys are in the ring…but it was a good night, so I was thankful for it.”

Henry Corrales (20-6) kushindwa Aiden Lee (10-6) via unanimous technical decision (29-28, 30-27, 30-27) - (accidental eye poke)

Henry Corrales following his victory: “That’s definitely not the way I wanted to end it here in Phoenix. The fans deserve more and that’s nothing against him, it’s just kind of a late finish and this was the final fight on my contract. This was my 15th fight with BELLATOR and my 20th win, so there’s a lot riding on this fight. I needed to go out there and put on a good performance…I tried.”

I didn’t feel like I really poked him to be honest with you and the replay was showing that it just didn’t look as serious as he was playing it off to be, but it’s the eye, so only he knows how much that hurt. He was super upset after and I was like hey big dog I didn’t poke you on purpose. I mean this is a fist fight! Lakini, he was walking away from the cage after and he was acting disappointed the the fight was stopped but while the fight was going on he wasn’t really fighting. His demeanor was off and he was kind of whimpering on shots and it’s like dude you weren’t really going, you were just acting.”

Sabah Homasi (16-10) kushindwa Jalel Willis (15-4) kupitia utii (arm-triangle) katika 1:42 ya duru moja

Sabah Homasi following his submission win: “It’s one of the kicks I threw I just kicked hard man. I expect this after every fight but just a little swelling. It’s the same stuff after every fight man from all my kicks.”

“You know I just I take whatever they give me. I had his back, I thought I was going to get the rear naked. I don’t like to exert too much energy on something, so if I don’t have it I’m not going to force it. I’m going to take something that’s there, so I let it go and I set up a little trap. It’s something that I’ve transitioned with very well from the back to that trick, so it was there and I took it.”

“He was saying something to me earlier and if he’s saying something to me he should say it like a man. Say it with your damn chest, don’t whisper it. I forgot what he said, but I told him he was going to feel real power tonight and that was it and then obviously quick fight. Nina afya, Mimi niko katika sura kuu, going to get back in the gym and whenever BELLATOR lets me know I’ll give my manager the green light.”

c-Cris Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) kushindwa #4-Leslie Smith (12-9-1) kupitia TKO (mgomo) katika 4:51 ya pande zote tano

Cris Cyborg baada ya kuhifadhi jina:

"Nilijua alikuwa mgumu na nimempigania hapo awali. Ninamjua na kumheshimu na yeye ni mpiganaji wa kweli. Nilijua pamoja naye itakuwa mechi nzuri, Kwa sababu ana uwezo na yeye ni mgumu."

"Nilikuwa nikifanya kazi sana katika sparring kuendelea na kwenda kwa sababu nilijua itakuwa hivyo. Niligundua nilifurahiya zaidi. Itakuwa 16 miaka kama mpiganaji wa kitaalam mwezi huu kwa hivyo nilianza kufurahiya huko."



"Nimekuwa nikifanya kazi ya kukabiliana na maisha yangu yote lakini ninahisi kama ninaendelea kuwa bora na bora kila siku. Nilipata ukanda mweusi, Lakini ni kama ukanda mweupe kwa sababu ninajifunza kila wakati."

"Nimekuwa nikifanya hivi 16 miaka, Nina majina manne. Lakini kabla ya kuwa G.O.A.T. Lazima upigane na 'paka.' Kwa hivyo, Napenda kupigana na paka Zingo na nitauliza Scott Coker. Kwa sababu kabla ya kuwa G.O.A.T. Lazima upigane na 'paka.' ”

#6-Leandro Higo (20-5) kushindwa Darrion Caldwell (15-5) kupitia uamuzi kupasuliwa (29-28, 28-29, 29-28)

"Nimekuwa nikingojea vita hii kwa miaka mitatu sasa. Ni jinsi nilivyotaka iende. Nilitumia mieleka yangu na nilitumia jiu-jitsu yangu. Mimi ni mpiganaji kamili na niko tayari kwa mpiganaji yeyote kwenye sayari kwa sababu ninaamini mimi ndiye bora zaidi. Nilijua nimepoteza mzunguko wa kwanza, lakini katika pili wakati alikuwa akitupa viwiko vyote na kunikata wazi, Mimi ni kutoka familia masikini huko Brazil na hiyo haikuwa kitu ambacho sikuwahi kuona hapo awali. Nilihisi furaha kuwa katika ngome hiyo na damu juu yangu.

"Aliishia kunipeleka chini kwa pili na nikaenda kwa kimura, Ambayo ni kitu ambacho nimezoea kufanya, Lakini aliibadilisha lakini basi hakufanya chochote na nikampiga na migomo mingi chini. Viwiko vingi na migomo na mimi tulikaa chini sana na hakuwa akifanya chochote. Ndio maana nilishinda raundi ya pili na ya tatu. "

"Nadhani ninastahili risasi ya kichwa. Nilipiga tu majina matatu makubwa kwenye mchezo na nilipiga tu bingwa wa zamani wa ulimwengu. Na hakuna mtu aliyewapiga watu watatu wa juu wa kiwango hiki cha kiwango cha ulimwengu kama vile nimefanya katika mafanikio matatu mfululizo. Ninaenda kwa jina hilo la ulimwengu na hiyo ndio inayofuata kwangu. Basi tufanye iwe haraka. "

#3-Austin Vanderford (11-0) kushindwa #4-Fabian Edwards (9-2) kupitia uamuzi usiojulikana (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Austin Vanderford kufuatia ushindi wake wa uamuzi:

"Ninapenda mapigano yangu ya damu, Ikiwa ni mimi au mpinzani wangu. Nitapata tambi. Lakini kofia kwenda kwa Fabian ambaye alinikata kidogo. Lakini nimefurahi kupata ushindi. ”

"Alikuwa mkubwa, mtu mwenye nguvu. Nilianza kumhisi anipe kichwa na mkono. Kwa bahati mbaya, Sikujifanya mtaji juu yake. Lakini nilijua nini nitafanya. Nilikuwa naenda kusaga tu. Yeye ni mshambuliaji mzuri kwa hivyo ilibidi niwe mwangalifu lakini nilijisikia vizuri. Wrestling… ni moyo wangu. Niko tayari kwa hatua inayofuata. "

Jalel Willis (15-2) kushindwa Maycon Mendonca (11-5) kupitia uamuzi usiojulikana (29-28, 30-27, 30-27)

Hannah Guy (3-1) kushindwa #8-Valerie Loureda (3-1) kupitia uamuzi usiojulikana (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Hannah Guy kufuatia ushindi wake wa kwanza ndani ya ngome ya Bellator…

"Nilihisi kama nilikuwa na Cardio mzuri, Kwa hivyo hiyo ilikuwa ya kushangaza kwa sababu nilikuwa na wasiwasi sana juu ya hilo kidogo. Ninashukuru sana alipiga vita na ninashukuru sana Bellator alinipa fursa hii.

"Nilidhani nitamaliza na pembetatu (hulisonga), uaminifu. Yeye tu alitoka hapo, Kwa hivyo hiyo ilikuwa ya kushangaza kwake. Utetezi wake ulikuwa mzuri sana. Nilivutiwa sana na hiyo. Sikujua mchezo wake wa ardhini ulikuwa nini lakini ilikuwa bora zaidi kuliko vile nilidhani itakuwa.

"Kugombana ni mahali tu nataka kuwa ikiwa umeona mapigano yangu mengine. Kushangaza kwangu kumeboresha sana ingawa ninatarajia kubadilisha hiyo. Lakini kugombana daima imekuwa suti yangu kali. Sitaki kutegemea tu ugomvi wangu, lakini nilidhani nilitua risasi mara kadhaa. Katika pambano hili nilidhani naweza kuona wakati viboko vilikuwa vinakuja. Na niliweza kutetea bora kidogo na jinsi nimekua. Kwa hivyo ninajivunia mwenyewe hivi sasa. "

HOUSTON, Texas – Legacy Fighting 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 Damon “The Leech” Jackson 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 Ijumaa, December 8th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. nzima kadi kuu itakuwa televisheni kuishi na nchi nzima katika AXS TV katika 9 p.m. NA / 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,” Alisema 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.”
Tickets for 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. In April 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 nicknamed “The 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, and 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 Fighting 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.
Katika tukio kuu, Legacy FC standout Evan “Mchinjaji” Cutts faces top undefeated prospect Jaleel “The Realest” Willis in a welterweight war. Katika ushirikiano headliner, UFC vet Damon “The Leech” Jackson squares off with undefeated Kansan Thai “Landshark” Clark in a lightweight showdown. LFA 28 – Cutts vs. Willis takes place this Ijumaa, December 8th at The Bomb Factory in Dallas, Texas. nzima kadi kuu itakuwa televisheni kuishi na nchi nzima katika AXS TV katika 9 p.m. NA / 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,” Alisema 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 Ijumaa, December 8th.”
Tickets for 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) eneo. “Mchinjaji” has 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. Katika 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 Kupambana Mwalimu. 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 true “prospect killer” in the headlining bout of LFA 28. If successful, the man known as “The Realest” could 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.

The co-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 Damon “The Leech” Jackson 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 Thai “Landshark” 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.
