Ngarep Field Advantage: Penggemar Favorit Sean O'Malley Bulldozes Sterling ing UFC 292, Return Chris Weidman Sparks Dhiskusi saka leren, Catona vs. Gibson Entuk Perang ing Wengi…lan akeh liyane saka UFC kang bali kanggo Boston ana pungkasan

Miturut: Rich Bergeron

UFC 292 iku acara UFC pisanan aku dirawuhi ing 16 taun. Minangka panulis MMA sing paling dikenal amarga mbabarake skandal Xyience (weruh www.xyiencesucks.com), Aku ndudhuk metu kupluk Xyience lawas kanggo mèngeti wusana. Sawise sponsor paling produktif UFC, Xyience saiki dadi perusahaan minuman energi lan ora ana hubungane karo liga MMA maneh. Ora perlu ngomong, Aku mung siji ing kabeh arene olahraga Xyience merch.

Aku mbayar tiket dhewe wektu iki, nanging aku ora bisa supaya mikir bab apa UFC sandi 292 pengalaman wis kaya yen sandi UFC 78 pengalaman, mbayar dening Xyience, wis diaktifake metu akeh beda kanggo kula meh 16 taun kepungkur.

Aku bakal ruminating liyane babagan crita pribadi saka Boston homecoming dhewe lan owah-owahan kita wis katon kanggo UFC antarane perang pungkasan aku dirawuhi lan siji iki ing Piece anyar aku rencana kanggo nulis ing www.paythefighters.com. Tetep dirungokake kanggo sing, nanging pisanan ayo kang njaluk kertu perang UFC uga dibangun kanggo ana wengi.

Iki diwiwiti kanthi crita loro Silvas flyweight: Karine Silva lan Natalia Silva. Pertandhingan kasebut dipungkasi kanthi loro Silva menang kanthi rong cara sing beda, nanging saben fighter mbuktekaken dominan ing gaya tartamtu. Karine ngirim Maryna Moroz kanthi keselak guillotine detik pungkasan sadurunge pungkasan babak pisanan. Iki minangka wiwitan sing apik banget kanggo pertunjukan sing duwe sawetara puncak lan lembah nganti regane hiburan saka sawetara pertandhingan.. Natalia njupuk wektu lan milih game Andrea Lee saka kadohan kanggo mayoritas kontes. Dheweke lelungan menyang keputusan unanimous kanthi ati-ati lan ngati-ati karo tujuane sing apik.

Next, kaputusan pamisah sing kontroversial menehi pejuang favorit Andre Petrovski menang liwat Gerald Meershaert. Petrovski katon ora duwe kardio kanggo nyumerepi karo Meerschaert sing wis berpengalaman. Kabeh sing kurang ing pertarungan iki yaiku kekuwatan striking konsentrasi saka Meershaert kanggo nyelehake Petrovski lan metu.. Loro-lorone pejuang duwe momen, nanging ketoke ketok kanggo kula Gerald punika fighter sibuk lan luwih efektif. Dheweke mung salah siji saka korban rampokan sing diakoni dening hakim Sabtu wengi sawise jelas menang perang utamane teknis.. Sentuhan slugfest sing disiram saka wektu ke wektu katon luwih seneng game lan Meerschaert sing semangat.. Dheweke mesthi pantes menang. Kita bakal ngomong babagan rampokan liyane kanthi kaliber sing padha mengko.

Sepasang pertarungan Ultimate Fighter Finale teka sabanjure karo Bantamweights Brad Katona lan Cody Gibson miwiti kanthi entuk penghargaan "Fight of the Night". Pertandhingan kickboxing jempol kaki sing arang banget suwe banget, mesthine nggawe wong akeh kaget wiwit wiwitan nganti rampung.. Katona pungkasane dadi luwih cepet kaping pindho ing babak imbang lan cukup landhep kanthi jabs lan counters kanggo ngamanake kamenangan ing kethokan sing asring kudu njupuk siji pukulan apik kanggo ndharat loro dhewe.. Gibson ngagem asil akurasi Brad ing pasuryan battered ing lonceng final, nanging uga entuk pakurmatan gedhe amarga pendekatan sing ora mandheg saka wong akeh lan organisasi. UFC nawakake kontrak loro pejuang kanggo upaya tinimbang mung sing menang.

Kurt Holobaugh kudu nglawan kanca lan kanca tim Chandler pejuang Austin Hubbard ing final Lightweight. Iku perang sing diwiwiti luwih apik kanggo Hubbard tinimbang rampung. Pungkasane sawise proses metu koyo cendhak, Holobaugh njupuk momentum lan ngamanake Triangle Choke fenomenal mung 2:39 menyang pigura kapindho. Loro-lorone pejuang duwe wektu sing dominan, nanging skills jiu jitsu sabuk ireng Holobaugh menang wengi lan piala TUF.

Gregory Rodrigues pancen numpes Dennis Tiuliulin saka Rusia ing pertarungan kelas menengah sing ndadekake wong akeh Beantown ngucapake "USA" sedhela nalika ngrebut pejuang Brasil.. "Robocop" seneng dhukungan saka wong akeh lan kanthi cepet menehi semangat kanthi katrampilan ngrampungake kanthi tampilan lengkap. Rodrigues kebetulan katon kaya karakter utama ing Netflix "The Lincoln Lawyer,” yen karakter bulked munggah sawise sawetara babak steroid. Rodrigues mesthi netepake ukum kasebut lan ngganggu wong Rusia dadi semaput kanthi presisi kaya mesin.. Dheweke njupuk mung siji menit lan 43 detik kanggo menehi wong akeh mandeg pungkasan nganti acara utama.

Lima pancasan langsung diterusake, loro mau mutusaké dening panggonan seko sampurna saka trobosan wentis monstrous saka menang. Sing paling nglarani saka rong pertandhingan iki yaiku Chris Weidman ngrampungake penyisihan kanthi ngadhepi Brad Tavares ing pertarungan kelas menengah sing ngukum.. Weidman, bali saka bundhas karet pitik pitik ganas ngendi nyoba kanggo tanduran ing wentis rampung bejat marang Uriah Hall, katon Rusty minangka bisa karat. Saben takedown sing dicoba katon gampang diiseni dening Tavares.

Saben ijol-ijolan punching katon sithik banget, kasep kanggo Weidman bali saka tendhangan sikil terus-terusan mrica loro sikil kanthi ciloko lawas lan sikil liyane Weidman kanggo langkah sing apik.. Malah karo MCL utawa ACL ambruk (miturut Dana White sing meksa Weidman pensiun sawise perang), Weidman stalked Tavares ing sakubenge kandhang lan ngupayakake sing paling apik kanggo nglawan dheweke sanajan rodane rusak.. Tavares menang perang banget strategis lan pinter, nguciwani kabeh pro-Weidman akeh ngarep-arep kanggo sing kinerja mbalek maneh Ajaib sing tau teka.

Marlon "Chito" Vera lan Pedro Munhoz mbukak kertu utama kanthi urusan siji-sisi sing nuduhake kesabaran Vera, acumen striking, lan teknik sing meh sampurna. Munhoz rampung perang ing sikilé, nanging keno akeh karusakan rai tekan kono. Chito tetep ing jarak sing aman kanggo mayoritas pertandhingan kasebut lan njupuk sawetara risiko ing dalan kanggo menang kanthi keputusan sing mutlak.. Tekan lan kacepetan Vera katon minangka kaluwihan paling efektif sing dirasakake nglawan Munhoz sing luwih cendhek lan kuwat.. Vera, boring minangka kang bisa kanggo nonton ing kaping, mbuktekaken kang pantes dijupuk judhul bantamweight dhewe.

Kaputusan langsung katelu menehi Mario Bautista menang keputusan unanimous banget kontroversial nglawan Da'Mon Blackshear. Bautista ngalahake Blackshear ing babagan kontrol lemah, nanging Blackshear luwih akurat ing striking lan ndharat serangan luwih pinunjul ing kethokan featherweight. Aku mesthi panginten dheweke nindakake cukup kanggo menang, nanging hakim ora weruh tarung kanthi cara sing padha lan menehi sayembara marang Bautista.

Ian Garry lan Neil Magny bentrok sabanjure ing kontes kelas welter sing ora cocog. Magny nuduhake ati sing luar biasa kanggo bangkit maneh sawise saben knockdown, nanging dheweke ora bisa ngalahake tendhangan sikil sing terus-terusan dibuwang dening Garry. Wasit Keith Peterson nyedhaki mungkasi pertandhingan kaping pirang-pirang, nanging Magny tetep nindakake mung cukup kanggo terus, hopping watara ing siji wentis ing kaping. striking Garry padha ing titik minangka game Dhiskusi sampah kang, nggugah semangat Nate Diaz kanthi sawetara gerakan tangan sing tepat wektu. Wong akeh ngrayakake dominasi sing terus-terusan karo Garry nyritakake babagan kepinginan dadi pejuang paling apik ing bumi ing sawijining dina ing pidato sawise perang.. Magny kudu nemokake jawaban kanggo perjuangan anyar yen dheweke pengin tetep relevan ing UFC.

Weili Zhang lan Amanda Lemos padha gelut ing pertarungan judhul epik sabanjure. Lemos meh entuk sawetara upaya pengajuan sing ajaib, nanging pertarungan gelar strawweight dadi pitakonan apa Lemos bisa urip nganti lonceng pungkasan. Zhang nuduhake bakate ing kabeh bidang keahliane, lan Lemos mung bisa ngarep-arep bisa menang kanthi cara pasangan Salam Mary nyoba pengajuan Zhang wriggled metu saka. kacepetan Zhang, kekuwatan lan kekiatan ngalahake Lemos lan nggawe dheweke berjuang supaya ora mandheg ing pirang-pirang babak sabanjure.. Piye wae dheweke bisa nindakake, njupuk jumlah tremendous saka karusakan ing dheweke dalan. Zhang mlaku kanthi tetep gelar, banget kanggo bungahaken para penggemar sing ndhukung dheweke liwat kabeh perang.

Akhire, acara utama teka, uga sawise tengah wengi. Sean O'Malley mlebu arena dhisik, lan wong akeh padha njeblug. Akeh sing nganggo rambut palsu ijo utawa jambon kanggo niru tampilan khas O'Malley. O'Malley jujur ​​katon banget petrified, kaya-kaya ora turu sewengi sadurunge acara. Aljamain Sterling mlebu ing kandhang kanggo paduan suara boos sing nyoba diremehake dening wong akeh kanggo ngece dheweke luwih akeh..

Babak pisanan biasane minangka pertunjukan footwork saka loro pejuang. Game kepala O'Malley bisa uga bisa digunakake ing Sterling, amarga dheweke janji ing wawancara sadurunge perang bakal entuk TKO babak pertama dhewe. Tinimbang ngandelake kekuwatane sing paling gedhe, gulat kang, Sterling pengin ngalahake O'Malley ing game dhewe. Sing dadi strategi sing salah, kasunyatan Sterling pungkasanipun temen maujud ing wektu kang rampung munggah ing sisih salah TKO sing. Ana sawetara upaya kanggo njupuk O'Malley mudhun, lan kabeh padha kebak. Sterling lempitan lan ambruk ing kanvas sawise kena pukulan O'Malley ing awal babak kapindho. Liyane ana sajarah minangka O'Malley nutup "pertunjukan Suga" karo sawetara lemah McGregor-esque lan pound.

Loro-lorone pejuang menehi pidato pasca perang sing apik, bener kanggo mbentuk. Sterling seneng banget nalika kalah lan nuduhake rasa hormat marang O'Malley sing ngupayakake nggayuh impene. Ngelingi Sterling ngritik O'Malley sadurunge perang amarga dadi proyek pet Dana White lan ora pantes ditembak judhul, iku mea culpa ageng. Uga, yen pancen kabeh ditresnani dening Bp. White, O'Malley bisa uga wis menehi tandha marang Baldfather kanthi nuduhake yen dheweke pengin nglawan Boxer Gervonta Davis luwih saka pejuang UFC liyane..

Minangka mung pejuang Dana White Contender Series nomer loro sing entuk gelar juara dunia, O'Malley mesthi bisa nelpon dhewe nembak kanggo sawetara ombone, nanging crossover tinju minangka subyek sing sensitif banget amarga Francis Ngannou bubar nggawe ombak amarga mundur saka kontrak UFC lan ndhaptar pertandhingan tinju kelas berat karo Tyson Fury sing bakal ngluwihi penghasilan UFC karir kanthi mil.. Mung Conor McGregor sing bisa ngyakinake UFC kuningan supaya bisa melu perang silang menyang tinju nganti saiki. Dana White wis rampung ngilangi rencana tentatif kanggo nggawe "Zuffa Boxing" kanggo nyathet para pejuang sing pengin niru profil McGregor., cathetan trek finansial lan bravado sing wani sing entuk kesempatan kanggo nglawan Floyd Mayweather ing pertarungan pameran..

Asring, kanggo njaluk perhatian lan penghormatan Dana White, pejuang mung kudu ngedol awake dhewe cukup kanggo nerjemahake menyang barang dagangan lan dodolan tiket sing digawe saka buzz.. Kathah kaya WWE, personas gedhe lan karakter warni asring menang ing kesempatan ing UFC liwat atlit sing mung musataken ing set skill fisik.. Striker utamané disenengi, amarga padha ngirim standar UFC sing diwenehake "pamerake" standar keunggulan sing dileksanakake ing saben pejuang sing mlebu ing kandhang.. Iki minangka gaya manajemen lan kepemimpinan wortel lan kelet sing ngapusi para pejuang supaya mikir luwih becik karire terus maju kanthi ora prihatin babagan pertahanan lan njupuk risiko sing luar biasa dadi luwih nyenengake lan nyenengake tinimbang sing dibutuhake kanggo menang perang tartamtu..

Saiki bocah O'Malley iki ngakoni kepengin dadi kaya Dana dhewe, cukup nyaman finansial kanggo totohan $250,000 saben poker tangan. Bakat sing paling khusus sadurunge O'Malley nggunakake persona bintang sing lagi munggah kanggo mbangun merek jenenge dhewe lan tuku perusahaan wiski dhewe.. Dheweke duwe yacht lan Lamborghini, lan dheweke isih paling akeh diomongake lan diarani pejuang ing organisasi kasebut sanajan kalah ing perang siji-sisi karo Dustin Poirier lan diselehake kanthi sikil sing rusak sajrone sawetara taun.. Kasunyatan manawa O'Malley bisa nyadari lan ngrasakake manawa dheweke ora bakal bisa tekan level Conor tanpa pertarungan silang sing gedhe ing tinju ngomongake babagan endi UFC saiki..

Iki minangka pangembangan sing aku kudu ngguyu amarga ngerti sepira angel kanggo nggawa kabeh gaji pejuang lan masalah kontrak menyang pengadilan tanpa tentara pengacara kanggo ngadhepi tim hukum UFC sing nggegirisi.. Salah sawijining tentara hukum kasebut bubar ngamanake supaya bisa nerusake tuntutan hukum anti-kapercayan kelas atas jenenge liwat. 1,200 mantan pejuang UFC. Hakim ing kasus kasebut katon wis sisih karo para penggugat. Reaksi kanggo sertifikasi tuntutan hukum kelas-aksi UFC: Ana apa, lan apa sabanjure? (msn.com)

Nalika organisasi ngadhepi statistik sing nuduhake bagean revenue kanggo para pejuang iku minuscule dibandhingake olahraga utama liyane karo asosiasi pemain., nanggepi biasane soko kanggo efek saka: "Kita wis nggawe akeh jutawan. Para pejuang kita apik-apik wae, lan dheweke kabeh entuk akeh kesempatan finansial kanthi ketenaran sing wis mbantu dheweke entuk.

Minangka ahli ing sajarah financial UFC lan anggota pamirsa ing UFC 292, Aku ora bisa ngindhari kasunyatan manawa akeh wartawan "UFC Nut-hugger" entuk kabeh keuntungan pinggiran hak istimewa pers amarga padha main kanthi apik karo mentalitas "Mitos Zuffa". Wong-wong sing nyelehake UFC ing peta kanthi subliminal ngarih-arih para panyengkuyung kanthi akses lan janji ketenaran lan kesempatan., lan pejuang lan anggota media padha njaluk di sedot menyang sing jenis manajemen sandiwara. Gantine, sampeyan ora mungkasi karo akeh laporan investigasi ing bunderan media MMA, lan pejuang sing takon akeh pitakonan lan nuntut kondisi kontrak sing luwih apik ora ditandatangani maneh utawa disiyapake karo pertandhingan pertandhingan utama.

Butuh asil acara utama kanggo njlentrehake masalah kanggo kula babagan carane UFC terus fokus ing kemampuan sing mesthine kanggo nggawe superstar mung kanthi ngidini pejuang mlebu kontrak apa wae karo organisasi kasebut.. Sawetara sing setuju yen kedadeyan kasebut bakal ujar manawa organisasi kasebut bisa ndeleng bakat sing cukup ing O'Malley kanggo nyelehake dheweke ing Seri Contender Dana White sing ndadékaké kenaikan spektakuler kanggo misuwur ing balapan juara anyar.. Mesthi wae, O'Malley ora bakal ana ing Boston ana wengi yen dheweke ora tau mlebu organisasi kasebut. Nanging, ana akeh pejuang DWCS sing ora entuk kesempatan UFC maneh amarga kalah ing pertarungan tingkat entri kasebut. O'Malley kudu menang lan tetep menang ing ngendi dheweke ana ing wayah wengi.

Intine yaiku: Kultus Sean O'Malley lan percaya diri sing luar biasa minangka asil saka perang salib pribadine dadi wong sing istimewa kanthi potensial tanpa wates lan bakat sing luar biasa.. Dheweke ora bakal melu ing obrolan kanggo judhul yen ora nglebokake kabeh jam ing gedung olahraga supaya bisa luwih apik.. UFC ora nggawe Sean O'Malley, dheweke mung menehi platform kanggo nuduhake apa jenis pejuang dheweke bisa dadi. Lan nalika dheweke seneng superstardom, UFC bakal menehi kredit kanggo awake dhewe, O'Malley kudu ngerti siji-sijine cara supaya bisa nggedhekake potensial penghasilan yaiku ngrusak organisasi kasebut.. Dheweke kudu ngluwihi wates finansial sing mbatesi menyang olahraga sing nuduhake revenue luwih apik lan wong kaya Francis Ngannou bisa nggawe luwih akeh sajrone siji gelut tinimbang sing ditindakake ing kabeh karir UFC..

Dadi, Yen Dana White pancen nggawe Sean O'Malley minangka proyek pet kaya sing disaranake Aljamain Sterling, dheweke nindakake pakaryan gedhe. Sayange, monster kang digawe bisa bali kanggo cokotan wong ing roto dawa. Kertu tinju sing dipromosikan UFC liyane bakal entuk akeh karyawan sing nyoba njupuk rute sing padha lan mikir kenapa kanca cilik Dana entuk istirahat lan entuk manfaat.. Veteran lan pendatang anyar bakal katon ing sembarang hyped munggah Davis vs. Pertandhingan tinju O'Malley minangka diakoni dening pimpinane yen UFC ora bisa mbayar cukup kanggo para pejuang supaya tetep ana ing kandhang..

“Bocah, sampeyan ora ngerti carane akeh dhuwit sing arep kanggo nggawe,"Dana White marang O'Malley sawise menang miturut wawancara O'Malley anyar. Aku mbayangno ing sirahe, Dana rampung pikirane karo “kita.”

I’ll relax after the fight, and I’m happy because I think I gave my country a good day. It’s the first time I’ve had big support in the cage. In America, I’ve had support, but not like today. Many Ukrainian flags, many Ukrainian people. My uncle, kanca-kanca; I see many people. It was a big support, and it gave me very good energy.”

On His Message to the People of Ukraine: “Thank you for my country, thank you for my army and the fans. It was for my country. Today I think it is a very good day for my country. To hold two gold belts.”

On If He’s the Best Welterweight on the Planet: “I think yes, [that was my best performance]. Temtu [I think I’m the best welterweight in the world]. I am here. If a UFC champion wants to fight, come to BELLATOR. Scott Coker will give the contract, and we’ll make the fight.”

Now I had a very good camp and recovery as well as different training. Every day I train hard and become better. I have the best team with me. Dheweke iku [Logan Storley] a very good fighter, and I knew this. All people who enter the cage are strong, so if you go in the cage, you’re a high-level fighter. It’s not a surprise to me, nanging aku siap [for everything]."

On Training with BELLATOR Middleweight World Champion Johnny Eblen: “He’s my friend [Johnny Eblen]. I train with him every time, he’s very high level. He’s a very good fighter and a real champion. Nalika kita spar, many people watch and I think it’s beautiful.”

#5-Jeremy Kennedy(19-3) dikalahaké #3-Pedro Carvalho(13-7) liwat kaputusan unanimous (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Kennedy quotes“I’m happy with the win, regardless. I would’ve liked to get the finish, but there’s a lot of circumstances whenever you travel across the world. I’m just ready for the next one. It was my rehydration, Aku. I made mistakes on the rehydration. I was really dryI wasn’t sweating, but I felt exhausted there; my gas tank’s [biasane] much better than that. He had a tight squeeze right at the beginning but he jumped for it too early but I think I am the best grappler in the division. He had a little bit of a squeeze but it ultimately got me the takedown. I wanted to really hurt him with some hands, but he’s a pressure fighter. I thought I could sit him down, but as soon as I got ahold of him, Aku kaya, ‘This is my path to victory.’”

On Fighting for the Title Next: “I believe so, I don’t know who else is there for me to fight. Three wins in a row. Sanchez, Pico, and Carvalho and they have all been dominant victories.. I’ve been all around the world; it’s a cool way to see the world. In a perfect world, I get to fight somewhere in the United States, but I’d fight ‘Pitbull’ in a WalMart. I’m coming. I’ve been on his heels the whole time. When I was fighting Borics and I was fighting Pico, Aku kaya: I can’t wait to get the opportunity to fight him. Now there’s talk of him going down to 135; he’s probably calling his nutritionist right now because he doesn’t want this fight. Cobi. We can go ASAP. I’ll fight him in any corner of the world, in any timeframe.”

Bryce Logan(12-8) dikalahaké #10-Peter Queally(12-8) liwat TKO (punches) ing 2:32 babak loro

#3-Sinead Kavanagh(9-5) dikalahakéJanay Harding(6-7) liwat kaputusan unanimous (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)

Kavanagh quotes“I feel good. It feels good to get back in there. It was a nice win. I went and put on a show, and that’s all I needed to do. I kept in one piece; I can go again soon, kang gedhe. I put on a clinic. I knew she was a striker, so I showed in there what I’ve done for the last 12 weeks. All is good.”

On a Potential Rematch with Cris Cyborg: “That’s two great wins, and I put on a show both times. Aku siap. Aku pengin [Cris] ‘Cyborg’ in Dublin. That’s what I want. Fight the best in Ireland, Sinead Kavanagh. I’ve been well-prepared for Cris ‘Cyborg.’ I won’t rush into things. I’ll be ready.”

“I got a good 15 menit [ing] ana. Good strikes. My power was there. I do want ‘Cyborg’ here. I want her in Dublin. But that’s in September, that’s too long. I want another one and then ‘Cyborg.’”

On Rectifying the Outcome from First Harding Fight: “It feels good; I got me win back. It’ll be on my record forever. I did win, and I am better.”

Ciaran Clarke(7-0) dikalahakéLeonardos Sinis(11-6-1) liwat kaputusan unanimous (30-26, 30-26, 30-26)

Clarke quotes: "It was a clean performance. I obviously would’ve liked the finish. [Opponent Leonardos Sinis has] fought at welterweight and lightweight before; he’s a big lad.”

On his Opponent’s Size Advantage, Weight Miss: “I thought he was a good actor. Katon, I didn’t think that mattered at all because I knew I was giving up a few kilos anyways. It was a catchweight and he missed weight. I knew he was coming big.”

On What He Wants Next: “Two Dublin shows every year. Get better for the next one, end of June, Juli. Those decisions, all of my decisions, I had 10-8 babak. 7-0. I think that’s right up there with the win streaks in the company. It’s a bit gray with BELLATOR; the rankings are solid, then it’s gray underneath that. People are mentioning the rankings — I’m trying to gradually get to that point. If they offer it, I’ll accept it because that’s just who I am, but as long as it makes sense and its progression. I’m here in BELLATOR; whatever they say I’m worthy of.”

On a Potential Matchup with Khasan Magomedsharipov: “I think we match up well and like said I will fight anyone. They’re all getting behind me: the whole town, the whole country, Aku rase. They’re bringing buses up. I really feel like a winner already. I’ve brought the whole town here. People talk. That buzz in the town, everyone gets behind me. It’s unreal.”

NEF CLOSES OUT TENTH YEAR OF BUSINESS WITH SOLD-OUT, BLOCKBUSTER EVENT IN PORTLAND

On a milestone New England Fights card dominated by first-round fireworks, Jonathan Piersma went the distance with a ground-and-pound clinic and overwhelmed one of the promotion’s most enduring stars Saturday night.

Piersma followed his gameplan to the letter and hammered out a unanimous decision over Ryan Sanders to win the vacant professional welterweight title in the main event of NEF 50, held at Aura in Portland, Maine.

Fighting in front of a sold-out crowd heavy with Sanders’ supporters and targeted by the Bangor, Maine veteran’s taunts and trash talk in the lead-up to the fight, Piersma (5-1) arrived from Rochester, New York, and did all his talking on the canvas.

True to Sanders’ forecast that he would shoot for the leg and try to force the action to the mat, Piersma did so in every round and never gave Sanders enough breathing room to unleash his vaunted strikes.

Piersma swept all five rounds on each of three scorecards and enjoyed the last word on the microphone in the center of the cage.

“It feels good to win in my first trip to Maine,” Piersma said. “He did a lot of talking, and he’s a tough guy, but I felt like I dominated the fight.”

All but one of Piersma’s wins as a pro have gone to the final bell. The setback for Sanders (20-10) ended a streak of five consecutive wins by stoppage, four in the first round.

Others experienced that rush on the historic anniversary docket with a parade of electrifying, early endings.

Twelve supporting bouts reached a verdict in the first round, several in a matter of a few seconds. Two others were halted in the second stanza, while only one bout prior to the main event went to the scheduled limit.

Jared Turcotte, Ras Hylton, and Robert Gray were the three prime contenders for knockout of the night.

Turcotte, formerly one of Maine’s most decorated high school and college football players, backed up a 35-second choke-out in his summer debut with a 13-second demolition of Regian Da Silva, Jr.

After a brief exchange in the center of the cage, Turcotte landed one shot that sent his New Hampshire opponent by way of Brazil into la-la land.

“I work hard at this. My goal is to get knockouts, and that’s what the fuck happened,” Turcotte said. “My goal actually was for this one to get to the second round, but I’ll take a 13-second KO any time.”

Bellator veteran Hylton (9-6) has decked his past two opponents in a total of 29 detik. He expended only 16 ticks of the watch Saturday in a heavyweight shellacking of Indiana’s Jordan Mitchell.

Hylton followed Mitchell to the canvas after the first haymaker and continued his assault to solidify the stoppage.

He dedicated the win to his wife, Janice, in honor of 10 years together.

“She took a drug-addled moron and turned him into something respectable,” the heavy hitter known to his fans as Rasquatch and the Jamaican Shamrock said.

In an amateur cruiserweight contest, Robert Gray (1-0) knocked out Cody Dular (1-1) ing 30 seconds. Gray landed a right hand so powerful that it actually launched Dular off his feet into the air. Dular was unconscious for several moments following the knockout and needed attention from the ringside physician.

In an eagerly anticipated grudge match, Matt Denning (8-16) entered the cage in arguably the best shape of his career and exploded to a convincing win over Carl Langston (2-7) ing 145 kilogram.

Denning backed up his own self-assured forecast and simultaneously dispelled Langston’s claim that he was merely fighting for the paycheck. After intercepting one of several sweeping kicks from Langston, Denning gained control of his opponent’s back and earned a tap to rear naked choke at 1:01 ing babak pisanan.

The quick turn of events ended Langston’s modest two-match winning streak as a pro while giving Denning his third win out of eight fights in the past six months alone.

Three other pro bouts ended in short order.

Mohammad Al Kinani (4-1) spoiled Tymar Miles’ debut with a technical knockout in 1:57. It was the second straight win for the rising lightweight star.

Detroit’s Darren Gibbs (3-10) showed that his record is beyond deceiving with a vicious kick to the inside of Nate Grimard’s leg, followed by a heelhook to end the night for Grimard (2-2) ing 1:49 in their 150-pound catchweight clash.

Brian Cosco, a knockout victim of Denning in his pro debut earlier the year, turned the tables and spoiled the maiden paying voyage for Justin Kangas with a keylock at 1:18.

As was the case on the pro side, the main amateur attraction also went to the scorecards, with Zach Faulkner (5-3) grinding out a majority decision over newcomer Chase O’Brien.

O’Brien landed a late barrage that might have ended the fight in a few more seconds. Nanging, he settled for a 28-28 draw in one judge’s view and a slim 29-28 loss on the other two cards.

Danny Wahlberg rose from the ashes to defeat Eddy Pena by rear naked choke at 2:13 of the second round in easily the most sensational comeback of the evening.

Pena may have emptied his arsenal with an explosion that nearly persuaded the referee to call a halt on at least two occasions. In desperation mode, Wahlberg threw a couple of token counterpunches before taking Pena’s back to set up the fantastic finish to the featherweight scrap.

In another stunning twist of plot, Nick Mulrey (2-0) escaped a near-guillotine from Chris Strout (0-3) and just as quickly locked in a D’arce choke to hasten the end of their featherweight showdown in only 41 detik.

The lone women’s bout of the occasion went to Cassidy Bedard (2-0), who subdued Lindsey Kelley by rear naked choke with just 20 seconds remaining in their opening round. It was the mixed martial arts debut for Kelley, who accepted the challenge on two weeks’ notice.

Other amateur results:

Ed Davis (2-0) defeated Patrick Mitchell (1-1) by strikes one minute into the first round.

Tristan Wood (1-0) overpowered Armon Bryant (0-1) via guillotine at 42 seconds of the second round.

Soren Mercer (1-0) finished Rosen Iliev (0-1) with an arm triangle at 1:55 ing babak pisanan.

Teddy Politis (3-1) TKO’d Aaron Rodriguez (0-1) ing babak kaloro ing 1:23.

NEF announced that its next card is set for Saturday, Februari 11, 2023 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. One of the featured attractions at NEF 51: “Banger in Bangor” will be an amateur title bout between 2-0 bantamweights Key Baltazar and Nate Dorr. Tickets are available now atwww.TicketMaster.com

Opening the four-fight main card is another BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix quarterfinal matchup between No. 2-ranked bantamweight Patchy Mix (15-1) and former BELLATOR and Rizin Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4).

Current BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Sergio “The Phenom” Pettis sits at No. 7 on the promotion’s pound-for-pound list. He successfully defended his belt for the first time against former BELLATOR 135-pound titleholder Kyoji Horiguchi with a “knockout of the year” style finish at UFC 272 ing Desember. The hard-hitting Midwesterner out of Milwaukee originally captured the crown by outpointing former champion Juan Archuleta. The younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will be in for one of the toughest fights of his career when he takes on Raufeon Stots. Stots, who used to train alongside Pettis for several years, has been flawless since making his promotion debut in December 2019. He most recently scored a dominant unanimous decision victory over Magomed Magomedov at UFC 264.

Featherweight world champion and top-ranked women’s pound-for-pound fighter Cris “Cyborg” has made three straight title defenses including a second-round submission of Arlene Blencowe in 2020, which surprisingly is the lone submission victory of her storied career. The Brazilian native who currently fights out of Las Vegas, Nev. is a “Grand Slam Champion” having won belts in four different organizations. She sports 20 wins by finish with victories over elite competition including Holly Holm, Leslie Smith (kaping pindho), Gina Carano and aims to further her legacy as the greatest women’s mixed martial artist of all time in the rematch versus Blencowe. Australia’s Blencowe is BELLATOR’s No. 6 pound-for-pound female fighter and the No. 1 ditingkat bulu. She has won five of her last six fights and earned her shot at the world title rematch with a unanimous decision over Pam Sorenson at BELLATOR 271 ing Nopember.

Currently BELLATOR’s No. 2 ranked bantamweight, Patchy Mix recently defeated James Gallagher via submission in his last outing at BELLATOR 270 ing Dublin. Mix has made a name for himself in the BELLATOR cage by displaying impressive submissions and his lone professional loss came to former champion Juan Archuleta. He now faces Horiguchi, another former world champion who hails from Takasaki, Japan. The American Top Team prodigy Horiguchi became a simultaneous, two-promotion champion in 2019 after he upset then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell while also holding the RIZIN Championship. After he was forced to relinquish his BELLATOR title due to an injury, Horiguchi nearly got his hands back on BELLATOR’s title but was stopped by current champion Sergio Pettis in December. The No. 5 ranked bantamweight now aims to get back in the winning column and recapture his belt, along with the million-dollar prize that awaits the winner of the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.

In their historic initial matchup at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., McKee stunned Pitbull by landing a punishing left leg kick to the head at 1:40 of the opening stanza atBELLATOR MMA 263Juli 31, 2021. The champion then continued the onslaught by unleashing a series of brutal unanswered head shots that floored the Brazilian legend.

Moments later as McKee prematurely raised his arms in celebration, Pitbull rose from the depths of defeat only to be greeted by a fighter hell bent on stealing his crown and claiming the $1 million prize. With the 25-time BELLATOR MMA veteran backed up against the fence, MMA’s brightest young brawler locked in a guillotine choke. With Pitbull seeming to lose consciousness, referee Mike Beltran halted matters at 1:57 pigura opening.

“Hosting the world’s best mixed martial artists in the great city of San Jose is something that has been important to me during my career as a fight promoter and I’m happy to continue that with our card on April 15,” BELLATOR President Scott Coker said. “The rematch between A.J. McKee and Patricio Pitbull for the featherweight title, as well as our Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix Final featuring Vadim Nemkov against Corey Anderson are two fights that could headline any event on their own, but we are bringing both to SAP Center at San Jose on the same night to show the fans here that we truly value their support throughout the years.

A native of Long Beach, Calif., BELLATOR’s top-rated pound-for-pound fighter has exceeded the lofty expectations placed on him since his professional debut three days following his 20th ulang tahun. Armed with six knockouts and seven submissions, the Team Bodyshop product, sing bakal nguripake 27 eight days before his rematch against Pitbull, has shown a knack for securing lightning-fast finishes with 10 coming in the first round. “Mercenary” has earned dominant victories over every fighter who has opposed him, including former World Champions Pitbull, Pat Curran, and Darrion Caldwell, who McKee submitted with a rare-modified neck crank that was later dubbed the “McKee-otine.” The winner of the 2020 Submission of the Year Award for his 71-second annihilation of Caldwell has fought a total of 33 rounds across 18 siri Karir (1.8 rounds per bout), while logging less than 41 total minutes in the BELLATOR cage since turning pro in August 2012.

One half of the vaunted Pitbull Brothers duo, Patricio has long been considered the crown jewel of BELLATOR MMA, where he currently sits at No. 3 in the BELLATOR MMA men’s pound-for-pound rankings. Holding a remarkable 32-5 record with wins over elite competition, including the likes of former World Champions Pat Curran, Juan Archuleta, and Daniel Straus (kaping pindho). Ing 2019, the 34-year-old Brazilian captured the BELLATOR Lightweight World Championship from Michael Chandler, becoming only the second BELLATOR athlete to hold two titles simultaneously. Kanthi 23 finishes in 37 gelut profesional, Pitbull has shown repeatedly that he possesses the well-rounded skillset required to reign over multiple weight classes.

Currently BELLATOR MMA’s second-ranked pound-for-pound fighter, Nemkov captured the BELLATOR MMA light heavyweight crown by defeating Ryan Bader via second-round TKO atBELLATOR MMA 244 in August 2020. Riding a nine-fight winning streak dating back to June 2016, the ferocious 29-year-old sports seven first-round knockouts, with two in the initial minute of action. After successfully defending his light heavyweight belt by earning a tough unanimous decision over Phil Davis, the pride of Belgorod, Russia and Fedor Emelianenko protégé scored a fourth-round submission of late replacement Julius Anglickas in the semifinals of the BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix during his last outing on Oct. 16, 2021.

Anderson, of Robbinsville, N.J., has ascended to the top of the BELLATOR 205-pound rankings by vanquishing seven of his past eight opponents, including a third-round stoppage of Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov atBELLATOR MMA 257 ing April 16, 2021. Exactly six months later atBELLATOR MMA 268, the Rockford, Gerah., native walked into the cage to the spellbinding sounds of The Doors’ “Five to One,” and took the song title literally by knocking out Arizona State University wrestling legend Ryan Bader in 51 seconds in front of Bader’s hometown crowd at the Footprint Center in Phoenix, Ariz. In his first promotional appearance, “Overtime” registered a second-round TKO over Dutch kickboxing legend Melvin Manhoef atBELLATOR MMA 251 ing Nopember 2020. Prior to joining BELLATOR, Anderson tallied a 10-5 record with a rival promotion, winning “The Ultimate Fighter 19” tournament in 2014, and boasting impressive wins over Glover Teixeira, Jan Błachowicz and Johnny Walker, antara liya.

NEF CELEBRATES TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH RIVETING FIGHT NIGHT IN PORTLAND; RETURN TO L/A AREA ANNOUNCED

Portland, Maine (Februari 13, 2022) – One new champion and one successful title defense in the amateur ranks and one stunning reversal of fortune at the professional level highlighted New England Fights’ 10-year anniversary card Saturday night.

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” was a jam-packed, 15-fight fusillade before another sold-out, energetic crowd at Aura in Portland, Maine.

Mike Murray lanZach Faulkner thrilled those fans with an early “Fight of the Year” candidate in their brouhaha for the vacant 170-pound title. Murray (4-2) applied the lessons he learned in prior losses to Zac Richard and Tim Birkenhead at NEF 40 lan 41, mungguh, by rallying for a split decision victory over Faulkner (4-2).

On the heels of a unanimous win on the scorecards in his most recent fight, Faulkner set the tone with a thunderous slam in the opening round. He fought out of a guillotine attempt in the second stanza and bounced back from a pair of early Murray takedowns to inflict a fair share of punishment in the third.

Murray turned momentum in his direction by landing a bundle of bombs in round four, and Faulkner’s takedown late in the fifth likely wasn’t enough to seal the deal after Murray connected with a series of body punches.

The other title bout took much less time and left far less to interpretation.Tyler Smythe (4-1) was authoritative in his first defense of the 125-pound strap, dispatchingRyan Burgess (3-3) via rear naked choke at 2:37 babak opening.

Burgess ended a four-year layoff from the NEF hexagon to challenge Smythe, who won the title with a technical knockout of Caleb Austin.

He pushed the issue early, but Smythe turned the tables on that aggression by throwing Burgess to the mat. Burgess’ attempt at a retaliatory armbar failed, and Smythe ultimately locked in a guillotine choke that ended his night.

In a highlight among the five professional boutsCarl Langston – winless in six prior pro bouts after an extensive amateur career – avenged his most recent defeat with a rear naked choke ofZac Richard.

The end came 81 seconds after the opening bell, when Richard (1-1), a past NEF amateur champion and decorated wrestler, went for a takedown. He initially succeeded but gave up his back and fell victim to the choke.

Both fighters accepted the 140-pound bout on only a few daysnotice after their initial opponents became unavailable. Richard lowered the boom on Langston with a knockout at 3:52 of the first round in his pro debut back in November.

Langston, who went 7-9 as an amateur and took four of his six pro conquerors to the scorecards, promised a different outcome in his pre-fight remarks, and he delivered.

Harun Lacey saka Bangor, Maine, making his first appearance in the cage since September 2018, apik kanggo 7-2 in the pro main event with a second-round technical knockout to strikes over Bronx bomber and Bellator veteranJerome Mickle (4-12).  In an emotional moment to end the night, Mickle announced his retirement after nearly nine years of cage competition.

Lacey took advantage of an early takedown to dominate the first round of the 155-pound showcase, then ramped up his ground-and-pound assault to another level in the second chapter before the referee waved off the proceedings at 1:42.

In the sole women’s fight on the card, akeh-nyenengkeGlory Watson (2-1) continued her winning ways with a rear naked choke of previously undefeatedAlibeth Milliron (2-1) ing 2:23 of the second round in their 115-pound tussle.

Both women landed early haymakers, with Watson’s facial expressions indicating she was anything but hurt. She further demonstrated that point by taking Milliron to the canvas and narrowly running out of time in her first attempt to turn out the lights.

Milliron made more overtures with the stand-up game in round two. A quick takedown and a series of punches gave Watson another opportunity for the choke, Nanging, and she sealed the deal.

In a battle of two 140-pounders making their pro debutNate Grimard exercised top control throughout and breezed to a unanimous decision over Anthony VastaGrimard’s success as a pro comes as no surprise to fans. He is a former NEF Amateur Featherweight Champion who put together a record of 4-1 in the amateur ranks.

Mohammad Al Kinani also enjoyed a victorious dive into the pro waters, needing only 42 seconds to dismissChris Rooney (0-2) via strikes at 155. Al Kinani countered Rooney’s early kick with a flurry, dropping Rooney and subjecting him to another barrage that hastened the stoppage.

First Class MMA stablematesCody Kilton lanJustin Kangas passed muster with the judges in back-to-back amateur bouts.

Kilton (2-1) carved out a unanimous decision overKaleb Kenney(0-2) ing 155. Kangas (1-3) tasted victory for the first time with a split decision verdict at the expense ofJon Assam (2-4). Kangas kept control on the ground through the second and third rounds to put the long-awaited mark in the left-hand column of his ledger.

Three amateur bouts featured the rookie outing for both combatants.

Mike Jolicoeur used an arm triangle to take care of business againstWill Smith ing 145. In a 125-pound collisionKey Baltazar locked in a rear naked choke at 1:33 of the second round againstQuinn Poirier. Baltazar’s team, Nostos MMA, was an undefeated 3-0 at “NEF 46.”Jack Burke punctuated his win overNick Legrande with a brutal knockout blow at 1:25 of the opening frame in their 265-pound rumble.

Curtis Ouellette (2-3) spoiledChristopher Smith’s debut with a TKO via accumulation of strikes in round three.

Two other amateur scraps produced first-round finishes.Jeff Reynolds (3-2) won by rear naked choke overDavid McCarty (1-1) ing 185, lanBen Grady(3-0) kept his record spotless whenBrandon Maillet-Fevens (3-3) couldn’t continue after injuring his arm while blocking a kick. Reynolds’ win gave his team of Karasu Tengu Academy a perfect record of 2-0 on the night.
