BILOXI, MS (Agosti 25, 2018) – “Malkia wa Bare Knuckle” Bec Rawlings kushindwa Uingereza Hart na uamuzi kupasuliwa (50-45, 49-45, 48-47) kama Mashindano ya Mapigano ya Knuckle Bare (BKFC) alirudi Jumamosi na “BKFC 2: Enzi Mpya” kutoka Coliseum ya Pwani ya Mississippi huko Biloxi, Mississippi na kuishi kwa mtazamo wa kulipia.

 

 

 

“Sidhani kama ulikuwa uamuzi wa mgawanyiko,” Alisema Rawlings. “Nilipojiandikisha kupigania BKFC walitutumia sheria na wakasema huwezi kumkimbia mpinzani wako. Unapaswa kujishughulisha. Una toe mstari. Hapo ndipo wanataka hatua ifanyike na utapoteza pointi usipotii sheria hizo. Hivyo, Hakika mimi ndiye niliyesukuma mwendo usiku wa leo. Nilikuwa katikati wakati wote na nilipiga risasi ngumu zaidi.”

 

 

 

Baada ya ushindi wake dhidi ya Alma Garcia katika BKFC 1, Rawlings alituzwa Gazeti la Kitaifa la Polisi kwa mkanda wa ndondi usio na kitu kwa wanawake. Pamoja na ushindi Jumamosi, Rawlings alihifadhi jina lake.

 

 

 

“Kunyakua taji langu la kifundo na sasa kulitetea imekuwa heshima kubwa,” aliongeza Rawlings. “Nilipoingia kwenye kifundo cha mguu mara ya kwanza sikujua historia na kila kitu. Nilifikiria tu ilikuwa njia mpya na ya kufurahisha ya kujijaribu. Kisha nikapata mkanda huu baada ya ushindi wangu kwenye onyesho la kwanza na nikagundua ni mpango gani mkubwa huu.”

 

 

 

Rawlings alihitimisha, “Nina afya nashukuru. Mikono yangu kwa kweli ilikuwa imevimba zaidi baada ya pambano langu la kwanza la kupiga magoti. Labda nitakuwa vizuri kwenda tena mnamo Desemba, lakini mimi ni bingwa na niko hapa kupigana na yeyote wanayemweka mbele yangu.”

 

 

 

Pambano la kwanza kati ya pambano la nusu fainali la uzani wa juu lilishuhudia ubadilishanaji wa kishindo kama vile Arnold Adams kusimamishwa Joey Beltran :09 kwenye sura ya tano. Adams mtulivu sana na aliyekusanywa alidhibiti hatua nyingi.

 

 

 

“Nilijua ningepata ushindi. Sikuwa na wasiwasi sana kuhusu Beltran, amekuwa na vita vingi,” ulisema Adams. “Sidhani kama ana hii ndani yake tena, lakini ana moyo na alionyesha usiku wa leo kwamba anataka kushindana. Nina njaa ingawa, amekuwa juu na kushindana kwenye maonyesho makubwa. Bado sijafika kabisa, lakini huu ni wakati wangu na nitaushika wakati huo.”

 

 

 

Katika ufunguzi pande zote, Adams alimkata Beltran juu ya jicho lake la kushoto. Kama mwisho wa mzunguko wa nne unakaribia, Adams alipata pigo lingine baya ambalo lilifungua zaidi kata, kumlazimisha daktari wa pembeni kusitisha mapigano.

 

 

 

“Nilimkata kwenye raundi ya kwanza, lakini lile jabu la mwisho lililomkata niliona damu ikimwagika karibu na jicho lake,” aliongeza Adams. “Kama papa, Nilimfungia ndani. Nilikuwa nalamba midomo yangu, macho yangu yakawa makubwa na nilifanya nilichohitaji kupata ushindi.”

 

 

 

Katika nusu fainali ya pili ya uzani wa juu, Sam Shewmaker kushindwa Maurice Jackson na uamuzi kupasuliwa (49-45, 48-45, 48-46).

 

 

 

“Nilikuwa najaribu kuingia ndani na kwenda kazini, lakini alitaka tu kuendelea kunifunga,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Mtindo wake ulinizuia sana kutumia mpango wangu wa mchezo. Kila nilipokuwa nikiingia ndani alinishika. Ilikuwa inakatisha tamaa sana. Na ni vigumu kufanya kazi kwa mbali na mtu ambaye ni mrefu sana.”

 

 

 

Jackson alifanikiwa kupiga picha safi, akimshika Shewmaker kwa ndoano ya kushoto iliyomwangusha katika raundi ya pili.

 

 

 

“Alinipata kwa risasi nzuri, aina moja ya nyuma ya kichwa changu ambayo iliniangusha, lakini niliibuka tena na kuendelea kupigana,” aliongeza Shewmaker. “Kugonga hakunisumbua sana, tu knocked me kidogo off usawa. Nilijisikia vizuri muda mfupi baadaye.”

 

 

 

Ushindi wa Adams na Shewmaker ulifanikisha fainali ya mchujo wa uzito wa juu huku wawili hao wakitarajiwa kumenyana BKFC. 3.

 

 

 

“Ni wakati wa kuifungua,” ulisema Adams. “Sam Shewmaker ana nguvu katika mikono yote miwili, lakini niko tayari kwa mtu yeyote.”

 

 

 

“Ninatarajia fataki nitakapokabiliana na Adams,” Alisema Shewmaker. “Ana jab nzuri, lakini nina jab nzuri pia na napenda kupiga. Hivyo, inapaswa kufanya mechi kubwa katika fainali.”

Here are what press conference participants had to say Thursday:

 

BEC RAWLINGS

 

 

 

“Training in California was great to just get acclimated to the time change and the weather, because it’s winter in Australia. Tulirudi kwenye gym yangu ya zamani, Muungano wa MMA, na nimemaliza tu kambini hapo. Ilikuwa mwisho mzuri kwa kambi. Tulikuwa na wakati wa kutohisi kukimbilia na kuingia katika hali ya mapigano.

 

 

 

“Mpinzani wangu anajiamini sana, kutokana tu na yale ambayo nimeona kwake leo anajiamini sana katika seti yake ya ujuzi. Lakini, Ninahisi kama kujiamini wakati mwingine ni anguko la watu. Sidhani kama anafahamu kuwa hii ni ndondi ya ngumi mtupu. Hii si ndondi ya kitaaluma, Hatuna glavu na huwezi kuachana na vitu ambavyo unaweza kupata katika ndondi za kawaida.. Nadhani itanichukua kumpiga ngumi ya uso ili kutambua hilo.

 

 

 

“Hakika ninahisi kama nina makali, Nina uzoefu sio tu katika MMA na glavu ndogo lakini uzoefu wa kuwa na toleo langu la kwanza kwenye BKFC 1. Sidhani kama itapita raundi ya tatu.

 

 

 

“Kuwa na uzoefu wa knuckle ni faida kubwa. Niliingia kwenye pambano hilo la mwisho na mengi yasiyojulikana. Nilifurahiya sana huko nje na nikaona jinsi mtindo wangu unafaa sana mchezo huu. Ninaichukua kwenye vita hii. Nimepumzika, Niko tayari kwenda na ninafurahi kuingia huko.

 

 

 

“Nadhani anajipenda bondia, kwa hivyo nadhani anaweza kubaki nyuma ya jab yake, fimbo na kusogeza kitu kama hicho. Niko tayari kwa mtindo wowote. Nilifikiri kwamba mpinzani wangu wa mwisho angefanya hivyo lakini alitoka akibembea. Niko tayari kwa vyovyote vile. You’re always guaranteed fireworks when I’m fighting. It doesn’t matter who I’m put in front of, you know it has to be a fight, and that’s what you can expect Saturday night.

 

 

 

“It’s been really awesome to be a trailblazer for BKFC. I knew I would get some news and some press and that people would like what I’m doing. The support has really been amazing. I’ve gotten so many fans and so much new respect from other fighters as well. It’s definitely taking off, and it’s really cool to be at the forefront of the whole thing.”

 

KENDALL GROVE

 

 

 

“I don’t really know what to expect. I’m a fighter and I’m of course coming to fight. But we’ll see if I’m going to be a smart fighter like I said I’d be. I could jab and pick my spots and put him away. But then again brawling has got me to where I am and got me a lot of notoriety. So why can’t I do both? Bila shaka, once you get hit, everything goes out the window. Ego gets involved and sometimes you just go for it.

 

 

 

“There might be some more stinging and burning than I usually feel in a gloved fight. I sparred without gloves a while ago because I was curious and I felt some of that. My hands felt alright but there is that slightly different sensation from the bone on bone contact.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a real fight. I respect my opponent and I know he’s coming to give me his best. He’s going to come for me. But I’m going to do me and figure out how to get the win.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to be a part of BKFC. This is a great organization and I’m going to try to make a great impression on everyone.

 

 

 

“It’s definitely been an interesting 48-hours trying to get here from Hawaii. Luckily I was able to take care of everything at home and make sure my family is prepared for the hurricane. Now I’m here and ready to go.”

 

CHRIS LYTLE

 

 

 

“I think no matter what you’re going to see two people who are trying to knock each other out. I don’t believe in decisions. If you got two really tough guys and they land a lot of punches and nobody goes down, you’re going to have a great fight and people are going to like it.

 

 

 

“My goal is to go out there and hit him as hard as I can and I think he’s going to have the same strategy against me. So I anticipate a really exciting fight. You’re not going to be bored during our fight.

 

 

 

“Hapa ni kitu, I’ve had a lot of fights, probably 100 of one form of combat sports or another, so I know what I’m getting in to. I fought many times. There’s going to be a little bit of moving around and me trying to be a little bit smarter. With bare knuckles you can’t do the same things as with gloves on.

 

 

 

“This is so cool for me. I always get people talking to me saying: ‘Why don’t you come back for one more fight?’ ‘I want to see you fight.’ It seems to be the first point of conversation always. So just being able to do this again, Mimi nina msisimko sana. I’ve talked to a lot of people who are very excited for me to come back and do something. I look forward for them being able to watch on the pay-per-view level.

 

 

 

“I’m really looking forward to being out there and getting the feel of being in the ring again. I’ve had a lot of boxing matches, but I haven’t been able to box in an awful long time, as I was mainly doing UFC. So to be back in the boxing ring is going to make me very happy.

 

 

 

“We’re both going to throw hard punches. I think somebody’s going to land a better one and I think somebody’s going to get hurt.”

 

SAM SHEWMAKER

 

 

 

“It was an honor to be a part of the first event. It’s history in the making. It’s also a humbling experience and a lot of fun. The fans, the promotional team, and everyone that put it all together just made it a great time.

 

 

 

 

“To be able to have a victory like that, a highlight-reel finish, was amazing. I had never fought on a stage that big and it was just awesome to have the exposure and to be able to put on a good show for the fans.

 

 

 

“There’s going to be fireworks Saturday night. It might not be as quick of a finish, but I can tell you it’s not going to be a decision. Somebody is going down I can promise you that.

 

 

 

“This is going to be a brawl. He wants to stay on the outside, he’s going to want to use his jab and his straight right to keep me to the outside. I want to get chest to chest with this guy and just bang him up on the inside. So I’m expecting it to be a dog fight and I’m predicting a first-round knockout.”

 

HARRIS STEPHENSON

 

 

 

“I just want to say that I’m happy to be here and I can’t tell you how special this promotion has been. I’m so thrilled that my home has accepted BKFC with open arms and I hope we can have several more events here.

 

 

 

“Mississippi Gulf Coast Coliseum is a huge venue and I think we’re going to pack it. I’m happy that I’m going to be fighting early on the card, because I want to see these fights myself. These are action-packed bouts and I assure you that you don’t want to miss it.”

 

DAVID FELDMAN, Founder and President of Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship

 

 

 

“It’s my great pleasure to be here in the great state of Mississippi, which is officially the second state to allow bare knuckle fighting in the history of the United States. I’m very excited about the response we’ve gotten from the fans here and I know the fighters can’t wait to put on a show for them.

 

 

 

“It gives me chills to say that we’re here for Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship 2. The first BKFC show was titled ‘The Beginning’, because it was truly the beginning of something special. Now we’ve named this show ‘A New Era’, because we really are officially ushering in a new era in combat sports.

 

 

 

“We have some of the best fighters in the world and fighters who have fought on really big stages. They’re all excited to be a part of this growing sport. We have fighters from all around the world stepping into the ring for a slew of sensational matchups.”
