MIKEY GARCIA
“Estem esperant una baralla dura competència. Lipinets és un lluitador que sempre és perillós. Ell té el poder en les dues mans i que no té por de deixar que les seves mans van. És també està disposat a rebre un cop, de manera que ell pot colpejar de tornada. Això és el que li fa perillós.
“Aquesta oportunitat de guanyar un títol en una quarta divisió era massa gran per passar. És difícil aconseguir baralles com aquesta. Estic content que tot es van reunir pel que podem donar als aficionats un gran espectacle.
“L'any passat va ser un gran any per a la meva tornada. Va començar amb una victòria del títol mundial per un tercer títol de divisió i després vaig tenir la gran victòria sobre Adrien Broner a l'estiu. Busco les coses encara més grans en 2018 i aquest any passat realment va aplanar el camí perquè.
“Guanyar un quart títol va ser la gran atracció per a mi per fer aquesta baralla. Per fer la història com que és una cosa que realment em motiva. Jo sé que tinc molt més per aconseguir en l'esport, però això és un gran començament. Aquesta és la direcció que vull anar a.
“Hi ha una gran quantitat de talent i de la història en la boxa a Sant Antoni. El meu germà té un gimnàs aquí i tenim una gran quantitat de combatents d'entrenar amb l'àrea de. Tot i que mai he lluitat aquí, He rebut molt suport de la comunitat. Quan estàvem buscant en els llocs per a la lluita, això era una cosa que tenia ganes de fer.
“He lluitat en diferents regions de Texas i sempre rebut una gran quantitat d'amor, però mai havia estat capaç de lluitar a Sant Antoni. Vam decidir portar la lluita per tornar alguna cosa a la de l'estat de Texas. No hi ha ciutat millor de ser l'amfitrió de Sant Antoni.”
Serguei LIPINETS
“Els aficionats a San Antonio poden esperar teatre. Serà un espectacle. Es va a tenir grans cops, caigudes i tot el que volen veure en una baralla.
“Aquest és el repte més gran que he tingut en la meva carrera. Mikey és una gran estrella, però sóc molt competitiu i vull mostrar al món el que puc fer.
“El meu esperit no pot ser igualada per cap lluitador, però també tinc la velocitat i la força per guanyar. Vaig a mostrar el meu poder devastador a Febrer 10.
“Mikey és un molt bon jugador d'escacs. La gent subestima la seva capacitat de pensar en el ring. Així que no puc anar-hi amb un estil que una altra persona ha utilitzat en la seva contra. Treballarem dur en el millor pla de joc per al que puc fer.
“Això serà una baralla difícil. Estic amb l'objectiu d'aconseguir una victòria de qualsevol manera que pugui. No puc dir el que va a semblar, però vaig a estar llest per a qualsevol cosa en el ring.
“Vaig a anar a guanyar. Vull estar en la posició que Mikey ha aconseguit en aquest esport. He treballat dur per arribar a aquest moment i vaig a donar-ho tot per aprofitar.
“Si no pensés que estava a punt per aquesta baralla, llavors no m'he pres. Tenim un pla i utilitzarem tota l'experiència que he obtingut de la meva carrera per executar-lo.”
Richard Schaefer, President & Director general d'Esports Ringstar
“La boxa va 2018 amb gran impuls i començar amb grans esdeveniments com aquest. Té dos campions invictes aconseguir al ring a lluitar entre si. These kind of fights are going to continue to elevate the sport to great heights.
“Aquesta va ser una baralla fàcil de fer perquè té dos lluitadors que volen mesurar-se amb els millors. Aquesta és una lluita que es feien ràpidament. Cap dels dos va haver de ser convençut. Els dos nois senten que poden guanyar i van a la baralla amb una actitud d'un lluitador invicte.
“Cap d'aquests nois tenen cap pensament que podrien perdre. Ells son 100 cent convençut que van a sortir d'allà amb aixecar la mà. Això és el que va a fer d'aquest un gran duel.”

Això és el que els participants en la conferència de premsa havien de dir Dilluns De l'Conga Room a L.. Viu:

 

MIKEY GARCIA

 

“A world champion like Sergey Lipinets is more exciting an opponent for me than an easy title defense. I wanted a challenge and this man presents that. He’s a bigger man naturally. He’s going to be very hungry and motivated. He knows a victory over me launches his career to the top. That’s going to make this an interesting fight.

 

“To win a world title in a fourth division is a big deal to me. My dad always wanted a three-division world champion, and now I have a chance to give him a fourth title. That’s something that really excites me.

 

“It’s been a great return to boxing since my layoff. When I came back, I wanted to move fast and take on big challenges. That’s what we’ve been doing so far. I want to take on any challenges that people think I can’t achieve. I think slowly we’re proving to everyone that I’m better than ever and I’m going to keep taking on the kinds of fights that will cement my legacy.

 

“It would be a great accomplishment to be in the discussion with guys like Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez, that would be a win in itself. But it wasn’t on my mind when taking this fight. I just want to keep fighting the best out there. There’s still more for me to accomplish until I’m on the same level as Pacquiao and Marquez.

 

“It’s going to be a great fight. Like I’ve said, the challenge for me is that I’ll be fighting the bigger man. En la nit del combat, that advantage he has on me might be enough to make it that much more exciting. It will be interesting to see how well I adapt to the size. I have to make adjustments to overcome those challenges. This should give the fans the excitement that we want to give them.

 

“My only focus is on Febrer 10 against Sergey Lipinets. That’s my target throughout the entire camp. There may be more opportunities for me on the horizon, but you’ll see on fight night that I’m one hundred percent focused.

 

“I know that I have the possibility to be the biggest star in boxing like a Floyd Mayweather, and I think I’m on track to accomplish that. I don’t see a lot of guys in the sport with the resume of accomplishments that I have. I’m going to continue take on the best and beat my opponents convincingly.”

 

Serguei LIPINETS

 

“Mikey Garcia is a great champion and I want to be in the position that he’s reached in this sport. The only way there is to go through him.

 

“I’m taking on a great challenge against Mikey Garcia, and many people think I’m not ready. This is the fight that I wanted. I’ve had many obstacles in my way throughout my career and I’ve overcome them all. I’m going to overcome Mikey Garcia just like that.

 

“Every time I have sparred with top fighters, like Terrence Crawford, I have learned more about what I need to improve to get to the next level in this sport. That kind of experience has helped my confidence increase and will help me when I face Mikey Garcia.

 

“A lot of things can happen when you move up in weight. Usually people use some pop. Whatever version of Mikey Garcia shows up; I’ll be ready for him.

 

“I believe I’m going to win, Mikey believes he’s going to win, and it will all unveil in the ring. One thing I can guarantee; que serà una gran baralla.

 

“Every fight I’ve had has been against a tough opponent who has helped get me to this point. Ara, I’m ready to fight the best, and Mikey Garcia is truly that.

 

“I had to work very hard to make the transition from champion kickboxer to a champion boxer. I did everything I had to do, moving from gym to gym and sparring everyone. I always aimed for the best and wanted to be the best at what I do.”

 

ROBERT GARCIA, Mikey’s Brother & Entrenador

 

“We know that Sergey Lipinets is a very dangerous fighter. He’s a really strong champion. I know he’s going to be hungry because he wants to become a big name by beating Mikey.

 

“Mikey is very smart in the ring. We’re going to come in there with a good game plan. We’ll have some big sparring partners. Strong, heavy guys who will give Mikey a big challenge in sparring.

 

“Mikey has to be in great shape for this fight. You can easily win the first eight rounds, but there are still four left. You have to be able to finish the fight. A great power puncher like Lipinets can finish you in one round.”

 

BUDDY MCGIRT, Lipinets’ Trainer

 

“We will be prepared for any and every thing. This way, when fight night comes, we’ll have an answer for everything. The key is that we just have to be on point from the opening bell to the end. There’s no way around it.

 

“We’re going to cover everything in training camp. You have to have every option available to you on fight night. This way, you’re never surprised in the ring. Sergey won’t go in there swinging to get a knockout, he’s going to be disciplined and focus on getting the victory.

 

“I believe that Sergey is on a mission. I know Mikey Garcia is on a mission too, and I respect that. I respect that these two men are fighting each other. Champions do what Sergey is doing, and that’s fighting the best.”

 

Richard Schaefer, President & Director general d'Esports Ringstar

 

“This is going to be a huge night for the 140-pound division. It will be another toe-to-toe showdown at the Alamodome in San Antonio, where so many great matchups have taken place before. Tickets start at just $20 so we expect another great crowd of fight fans down in Texas.

 

“This matchup features two undefeated fighters, two big punchers and 50 victòries, 40 per nocaut, between the two of them. These guys are both champions who are daring to be great. These are exactly the kind of fighters that the public likes. These fighters will push themselves to be great.

 

“These guys only know one thing, and that is winning. Sergey Lipinets is the biggest puncher at 140-pounds and it seems like Mikey Garcia always seeks out these big punchers.

 

“Mikey is looking to do something that only Manny Paccquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done, in moving up from 126 pounds through 140 pounds winning titles at each division. It is very difficult to carry that power up from featherweight. You have to tune-in to see an exciting fighter like that trying to make history.”

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Vicepresident Executiu & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports

 

“What boxing needs are great fights. Good, high quality matchups like Leo Santa Cruz vs. Carl Frampton, Keith Thurman vs. Danny Garcia and Errol Spence vs. Kell Brook. There needs consistently be good fights, and that’s what we have been doing at SHOWTIME for the last couple of years. No other network has done the quality of fights that SHOWTIME is doing. No other network is as committed to the sport as SHOWTIME has been.

 

“The best need to fight the best, and that is what Mikey Garcia has done. He came off of a two-and-a-half-year layoff and a 18 mesos he’s had four fights, two title fights and will be going for a title in a fourth weight class, something only Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez have done before. That’s what great fighters do.

 

“Historically the fighters who separate themselves as legendary, are the ones who challenge themselves and travel across weight classes to seek these challenges. But there are two sides to this story. Those who have been paying attention have seen Sergey Lipinets make a lot of noise on SHOWTIME cards lately. He has risen very quickly.

 

“If you just look at Lipinets’ record, 13-0, and think about him fighting Mikey Garcia it would sound crazy. But if you look at the kind of competition he’s faced, his last seven opponents have a combined record of 163-15. That’s not something you usually see 13 fights into a career. Lipinets is a combat veteran, and whatever happens in the ring, he will be ready for it. It’s going to make for an exciting night.”

You’re the student and I’m the teacher,” dir Mayweather, a once-in-generation talent who has dispatched at least five future Hall of Famers en route to an unblemished 49-0 rècord professional. “En Agost 26, I’m going to take you to school.

NOVA YORK (Juliol 13, 2017) – Day three of their blockbuster world tour sawboxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor continue to trade verbal jabs as the global stars went face-to-face in front of over 13,000 fans at Barclays Center ahead of their Agost. 26 showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
After filling venues in Los Angeles and Toronto, an electric crowd greeted the two fighters Thursday as Mayweather and McGregor picked up right where they left off, building on the two increasingly combative press conferences held Dimarts iDimecres.
The world tour concludes el divendres when the fighters travel to The SSE Arena, Wembley in London.
Això és el que els combatents havien de dir dijous:
Floyd Mayweather
I knew that this was going to be a huge event. We had to give the people what they wanted to see and if we break the PPV record, all I’ll be doing is breaking my own record.
I’m just thankful to be in this position. To be at this age and compete against young guys, és una benedicció. He’s bigger, he has a longer reach and I’ve been inactive. Més, we’ve never seen him lose standing up. He feels like he’s the best. I was the best when I was competing. So I think I had to come back for this last hurrah.
Even though I haven’t been competing in boxing, you still have young guys calling me out all the time. Even the MMA fighters call me out.
My thing is that either I’m going to get him, or he’s going to get me. The outcome is going to be what it’s going to be. Once you have that mindset, you’re going to be okay. He’s coming for me and I’m coming for him.
Nobody knows that squared circle like me. I know angles. I know where to touch you at. I know what you don’t like. I don’t have to watch your tapes. That’s something I’m blessed with. Però, he’s unorthodox. So it’ll definitely be something different in the ring. I just have to keep my composure.
I have to stand up for the Americans and the American fight fans. He represents his country and I represent the red, white and blue. I represent everyone in this country.
I’ve been doing this for 21 years in five weigh classes. I’ve never quit.
CONOR MCGREGOR
Floyd saying he’s going to knock me out is the funniest comment of the whole tour. I hope he comes for it and I hope he brings it. I’ll be prepared for anything and anticipate whatever he brings.
“Estic en gran manera, that’s why I’m not wearing a shirt. I’m in shape to fight right now. I don’t have a nick on my body right now. Jo ho seré 100 percent on fight night.
I have a very high fight IQ. I understand when to go and when not to. Only me and the opponent can see these details. I’m very confident whether it’s in a ring or an octagon.
The rounds are two minutes shorter than I’m used to and there’s a lot less action than I’m used to. He’s going to feel like he’s wrestling a bear when we tie up for the first time. He’s too small. I’m going to have my way with him.
I know every shot he throws. Sé què esperar. He fights the same every time. So we’re preparing. But he knows nothing about me. He has no idea how I’m going approach him.
I’m not tired of this. It’s really a lot of fun. We’ll keep it professional for now. I could never get tired of this. It’s such a great time to be a fight fan.
Floyd is saying a lot about me tapping out, but he’s never had a true fight. He knows nothing about the game that I’m involved with. We’ll see who is quitting on Agost. 26.
To come back here in New York, where I made history and become the first fighter in UFC history to win titles simultaneously, I’m blown away by the support.

TORONTO (Juliol 12, 2017) – The tension between boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and UFC superstar Conor McGregor boiled over into Toronto Dimecres as the global stars continued their blockbuster World Tour to announce their Agost. 26showdown on SHOWTIME PPV from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Mayweather and McGregor met Dimecres for just the second time, jarring toe-to-toe for more than three minutes in the initial faceoff in front of a largely pro-McGregor crowd at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage.

Multi-platinum and GRAMMY Award-winning recording artist Drake made a special guest appearance in front of his hometown Toronto fans “to witness history” for an event to celebrate what he called “the biggest fight in the history of fighting.”

After hearing McGregor once again promised to knock out a man that’s never been beaten, Mayweather challenged McGregor to put his money where his mouth is.

“If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check,” Mayweather said.

“One shot is all it takes,” promise McGregor. “Check the facts – I bounce heads off the canvas.”

To watch Dimecres de press conference in full, visit the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel:https://youtu.be/n7ZcGjg03-E.

The Mayweather vs. McGregor World Tour continues Dijous at Barclays Center in Brooklyn and concludes el divendres at Wembley Arena in London.

Below are flash quotes from today’s event in Toronto:

Floyd Mayweather:

“We’re not talking about being at the top for one year, two years, three years, four years. We’re talking about 21 any.

“Turn the pressure up. I don’t quit, I don’t fold under pressure. I’m the best and I know I’m the best.

“If you believe in yourself like you say you believe in yourself, bet your whole fight check.”

CONOR MCGREGOR:

“I thrive in uncomfortable positions. There is nothing these guys can do to phase me. Twenty-eight years of age, I’m getting fight checks and promoter checks. When Floyd was 28, he was on Oscar De La Hoya’s undercard and that’s just facts.

“Toronto, what a city. I was here one time, I was also on a world tour. I was also facing an unconquerable quest. I was facing the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, Jose Aldo. They said the same things then as they’re saying now. They said I have no chance. They said I’m in over my head. They said [ell] kicks too hard, too many weapons. The Irishman is going to fall short, he doesn’t stand a hope. It took me 13 segon.

“One shot is all it takes. Check the facts. I bounce heads off the canvas.

“He tip-tap-toes to a decision. He’s never fought a day in his life, he’s a runner.”

LOS ANGELES (Juliol 11, 2017) – Unbeaten boxing legend Floyd “Diners” Mayweather and UFC star “The Notorious” Conor McGregor Vam anar cara a cara per primera vegada el dimarts, in a highly anticipated press conference in front of over 11,000 fans at STAPLES Center in Los Angeles as the two global stars discussed their Dissabte, Agost 26 showdown at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas in an event that will be produced and distributed live by SHOWTIME PPV.

 

The fighters posed for the first face-off of the unprecedented event that has captured the imagination of sports fans around the world. Mayweather and McGregor will meet in a super welterweight contest that serves as the first time champions from boxing and MMA will meet in a sanctioned boxing match.

 

The Mayweather vs. McGregor world tour will continue on to Toronto, New York City and London as the superstars deliver all the spectacle of the summer’s biggest event directly to the fans who demanded it.

 

Això és el que els participants en la conferència de premsa havien de dir Dimarts:

 

Floyd Mayweather

 

Everyone knows I’ve never backed down from anybody. You line them up, and I knock them down like bowling pins. EnAgost 26, I’m knocking Conor out.

 

I am guaranteeing you this. You are going out on your face or on your back. So which way do you want to go?

 

Twenty one is the number. They ask me why is that the number? Because that’s how long I’ve been kicking ass. I don’t care about a ring or an octagon. Put me in there and I’m going to kick ass.

 

It takes two warriors to bring an event like this together. The two biggest forces in combat sports made this happen.

 

This was something that the fans wanted to see. I spoke to my team and said that the Mayweather-McGregor fight can be the biggest fight in history. That’s what we’re here to turn into reality.

 

McGregor is a professional, stand-up fighter. The only loss he took was when he was on the ground. He’s a tough competitor and I’m taking him very seriously.

 

Everyone knows I’ve been doing this for a long time. He estat aquí abans. He’s a tough guy though and a warrior. The best must fight the best. The fans wanted this fight, me and McGregor wanted the fight. It’s going to be blood, sweat and tears onAgost 26.

 

Training camp has been rough. I know deep in my heart that this is the last one. I’m taking care of my body and giving myself time off to allow my body to rejuvenate.

 

Conor really wants to win. Extremely badly. Other fighters it usually plays out two ways. Some guys play it safe and then some like Marcos Maidana go for the kill. I think he’s the Maidana-type. He’s a heavy-hitter so I have to be cautious. It’s going to basically be a toe-to-toe battle.

 

CONOR MCGREGOR

 

My mind is blown. I’m absolutely honored to be here in front of you fans for this great spectacle. Somebody’s 0 has got to go.

 

He’s got little legs and little hands. I’m going to knock him out inside of four rounds. Mark my words.

 

“Sóc un jove, confident, happy man. I’ve worked extremely hard for this. I’m going to embrace everything. No one can do anything to me. I’m going to have a good time.

 

Floyd will be unconscious inside of four rounds. The power and ferociousness that I have, he’s never experienced it before. I don’t fear him.

 

Even if he catches one of my punches with his glove, it will still hurt him. I’m like nothing he’s ever seen before.

 

Twelve, three minute rounds is going to be a breeze for me. Not to take anything away from this sport, but I have no worries about going twelve rounds with Floyd.

 

Floyd is the perfect motivation for me to go in and conquer the supposedly unconquerable. What more motivation could you need? This pushes me on to do these record-breaking events.

 

LEONARD Ellerbe, CEO de Mayweather Promotions

 

This is a great fight that the fans have demanded. That’s exactly what we’re going to give them on Agost 26.

 

Floyd Mayweather is the undefeated, pound-for-pound king and The Best Ever. He’s here to give the fans what they wanted and that’s his huge event a memorable fight on Agost 26.

 

Mayweather Promotions is all about giving the fans exactly what they want, and this battle between Floyd and Conor is going to deliver all of that and much more.

 

This is the can’t-miss event of the summer and this crowd at STAPLES Center proves just how big it’s going to be. This whole week we’ll be bringing all the excitement of a fight week to sold out venues throughout the world.

 

STEPHEN ESPINOZA, Executive VP & Gerent General, SHOWTIME Sports

 

Over the last several years, SHOWTIME has teamed up with MGM and Mayweather Promotions to give fans the biggest and most exciting events in sports. Record-breaking event after record breaking event. We also have a long history of MMA in SHOWTIME and are glad to be in business with UFC and Conor McGregor.

 

We will be working to deliver this event to the fans in unprecedented ways. We will give you new ways to experience the preparation leading up to the fight and then fight night, like never before. We’ll bring you behind the scenes and up close and personal with theAll Access” sèrie. Your backstage pass to this fight premieres on Juliol 28 per SHOWTIME.

 

They said this fight could never be made, they said this fight would never happen, but this fight is no surprise. 10 years ago Floyd decided to leave his promoter and become his own boss. He became his own boss and broke PPV record after PPV record. Here we are, 49-0, he’s fought 24 campions del món, and never lost. Floyd Mayweather has generated 20 million PPV buys and 1.3 billion dollars in PPVs. He is by far the number one attraction in sports and entertainment. There is no one else who is even close.

 

Am I surprised that this fight is happening? Especially against someone younger, bigger and stronger than he is. Per res. This is Floyd’s plan. To put on the most exciting and spectacular events that the sports world has ever seen. That’s whatAgost 26 serà. That’s been the plan all along. ”

 

DANA WHITE, President of UFC

 

This is the biggest fight any of us have ever been a part of. People have just rallied behind this fight. Don’t judge a fight until the fight is over. You never know what’s going to happen, especially with a guy like Conor who hits like a truck. When he hurts someone, he puts them away.

 

This is a completely full event today, not a seat left. We had to move to a bigger venue in Toronto. Barclays Center sold out and then today tickets sold out at Wembley a 10 acta. There’s never been anything like this.

 

Floyd is almost 41 anys. Conor is a young southpaw who hits hard. We’ll see how it plays out. It’s crazy to think that Conor won’t connect with him.

 

Conor McGregor believes in himself like nobody I’ve ever seen before. What he thinks about, he manifests into reality. The boxing media will get to know Conor on this tour and see the mental warfare that he engages in. Then on fight night, Conor is going to try to knock Floyd out.

 

RICHARD TEMPESTA, President of Sports and Entertainment, MGM Resorts International

Thank you to all the great fight fans around the globe watching this event. We’re thrilled that this event will be held at T-Mobile Arena, the home of the biggest events in the sports and entertainment industry. In only 15 months the T-Mobile Arena has become an industry leader and home to many of the greatest entertainers and athletes in the world.

 

Las Vegas and the T-Mobile Arena will be the center of the sports universe for this great spectacle when two great champions bring these two sports together for the first time. It’s going to be an absolutely electric weekend. We look forward to delivering an unforgettable experience to all the fans who travel from around the world to this great event.

Royce Gracie

El nom Gracie és sinònim de MMA, i això es deu en gran part a Royce Gracie, un home que es considera que va inventar l’esport tal com el coneixem avui. El guanyador dels primers esdeveniments UFC, Gracie anava a desmantellar diversos oponents en una sola nit, molts dels quals eren molt més grans que ell. Durant molts anys no va haver-hi cap resposta per a la tècnica de Gracie Jiu-Jitsu que va lluitar. Avui, és difícil trobar un lluitador MMA que no s’hagi format en l’art del jiu-jitsu brasiler que va inventar el seu pare. Al febrer de 2016, Gracie va titular el títol de "Bellator 149", un esdeveniment que va trencar els registres de visió de l'empresa que romanen intactes fins als nostres dies..

 

Kazushi Sakuraba

Amb un currículum increïble destacat per les victòries sobre quatre membres de la llegendària família Gracie, inclòs Royler, Renzo, Ryan, i Royce Gracie, Sakuraba ha heretat el sobrenom de "El caçador de Gracie". L’artista marcial mixt japonès és especialment recordat pel seu primer enfrontament amb Royce, una marató de noranta minuts que va acabar amb un TKO (parada de cantonada) gairebé victòria de Sakuraba 17 fa anys que. Gracie venjaria més tard la seva pèrdua, guanyant una decisió unànime guanyant a Sakuraba a “K-1 Dynamite USA!!" a l’interior del Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Ara, gairebé una dècada després, les dues llegendes es retroben i Bellator MMA us dóna l'oportunitat d'estar-hi quan passi!

 

Matt Mitrione

Matt Mitrione va portar originalment el seu talent a la graella del futbol, signant com a agent lliure no redactat amb els New York Giants a 2002. Després de breus estades amb els San Francisco 49ers i Minnesota Vikings, Mitrione va entrar a la gàbia MMA i des de llavors no ha mirat enrere. El veterà UFC de catorze vegades va començar la seva carrera professional amb victòries en els seus primers cinc combats, quatre de les quals van arribar per eliminatòria. Conegut com un dels primers classificats en aquest esport, el natiu d’Indianapolis, de 37 anys, va acabar recentment la seva carrera amb el seu antic empresari, prenent la decisió de provar una agència gratuïta. Mitrione ara intentarà duplicar l'èxit que va trobar al llarg de la seva carrera, quan coneix Fedor Emelianenko a San José aquest febrer.

 

Wanderlei Silva

L'exsuperestrella de l'UFC, Wanderlei Silva, també hi assistirà Gener 20, mentre "The Axe Murderer" es prepara per al seu debut amb Bellator MMA en l'esperat any de 2017. L’home que l’ha cridat constantment des que es va unir a la promoció dirigida per Scott Coker, Michael Sonnen, competirà a l'esdeveniment principal de "Bellator 170" només un dia després del "Fan Fest". Un veterà de 48 combats, Silva es va unir a la lluita MMA de Bellator després d'una il·lustre carrera amb UFC, passant per les centrals de pes mitjà Cung Le, Brian Stann, i l'actual campió de la divisió Michael Bisping. Amb 25 de la seva 35 victòries en la carrera per eliminatòria, el brasiler brasiler de 40 anys té moltes ganes de fer sentir la seva presència dins de la gàbia MMA de Bellator. Uniu-vos a nosaltres per "Bellator 170" "Fan Fest" a Los Angeles i coneixeu la llegenda ell mateix abans de fer el seu debut promocional.

 

King Mo

"King Mo" ha estat un pilar fonamental amb Bellator MMA des de llavors 2013, lluitant contra tothom, tant la divisió pes pesat pesat com la pesada. Aquesta serà la segona aparició de Lawal a l’esdeveniment “Fan Fest” de Bellator MMA, donant als aficionats una altra oportunitat de conèixer l'explosiu davanter fora de la gàbia. Després de la seva recent victòria sobre l'esdeveniment principal Satoshi Ishii, "Mo" ara posa el punt de mira en altres combats amb "pes pesat" per saciar la seva set.

 

John McCarthy

Conegut per molts com a "Gran" John McCarthy, l'àrbitre de MMA de llarga data centrarà la seva atenció en el "Fan Fest" de Bellator MMA i convocarà els trets en un dia ple de diversió amb alguns dels millors aficionats que aquest esport ofereix. McCarthy ha oficiat diversos combats memorables promoguts per Bellator MMA, la UFC i altres, convertint-se en un dels àrbitres més notoris de la història de l'esport.

Ringstar Sports Adds Amateur Star Money Powell IV to Growing Collection of Fighters Signed with Company

LOS ANGELES (Gener 10, 2017) – The rapidly-growing promotional company Trucar Star Sports has added another fighter with star potential to their growing roster, as super welterweight standout Money Powell IV has signed to join the company led by longtime boxing executive Richard Schaefer.
We’re excited to add a young man with the skills, amateur pedigree and demeanor of Money Powell IV and we think he’s going to be a great addition to the Ringstar family,” said Richard Schaefer, Chairman and CEO of Ringstar Sports. “This is an incredibly talented young man who is ambitious and has a great mindset heading into the professional ranks. He has proven to be a winner throughout his amateur career and we believe that his skills, combined with the right promotion, can turn him into a big star in the sport. I know that he wants to be the best and I plan on helping him reach those goals.
When I was presented with the opportunity to sign with Richard and Ringstar Sports, I knew that it was a chance to achieve my dreams,” said Powell IV. “Richard is one of the most successful figures in the sport and I know that with him, I can go far. I want to be the greatest fighter that’s ever lived, but I also want to be remembered as a positive figure. I hope someday I can do for other people what Richard is doing for me. I’m going to be a champion inside and outside of the ring.
The 18-year-old Powell IV was born in Germany, where his former boxer father was stationed in the military. He was passionate about boxing from an early age, but was never able to fully dedicate himself because his family moved back and forth between Germany and the U.S. frequently. En 2011 the family landed for good at Fort Mitchell, on the border of Alabama and Georgia, and Powell began training at the Game Bred Boxing Club and saw his amateur career take off.
His first tournament victory came in 2014 when he won the Junior Open Welterweight Championship and finished the year as the number one ranked welterweight by USA Boxing. He continued to add titles as he won the 2015 Ringside World Welterweight Championship and the 2016 Youth Welterweight National Championship to earn the top ranking in the 152-pound division by USA Boxing.
I’m a boxer-puncher but I’m also a big-time thinker in the ring,” said Powell IV. “I take my time and capitalize off of mistakes. I’ve been able to meet and work with my boxing idol, Roy Jones Jr., and he’s given me encouragement and advice that has meant the world to me. Mark my words, I will be the greatest fighter of all-time.
Powell IV will turn pro and campaign as a super welterweight after 83 baralles amateur, including recently participating in the AIBA Youth World Boxing Championships in Russia.
