One of the most unorthodox strikers to ever compete for Bellator, “MVP” has steadily worked his way up the welterweight ranks since signing with the organization in 2013. Known for his antics both inside the cage and out, every Michael Page fight is must-see entertainment. With an undefeated record of 13-0, et 11 of those victories coming by stoppage, the 31-year-old out of London Shootfighters finally meets up with fellow Brit and longtime rival, Paul Daley.

A winner of seven straight, including two consecutive first-round knockouts overTimothy JohnsonetJavy Ayala, Kongo has earned the opportunity to compete in a No. 1 contender’s bout. Undefeated as a professional, Minakov earned a victory against Alexander Volkov, as well as a previous win against Kongo, in his previous Bellator stint, and later continued his winning ways in Russia against “Bigfoot” Silva and Tony Johnson. The two now meet to determine who will go on to face the winner of Fedor Emelianenko andRyan Bader.

ICB SIGNS VANES MARTIROSYAN; CONTENDER TO MAKE CAGE BOXING DEBUT IN 2019

Laisser un commentaire


SUPER WELTERWEIGHT FIRST OF SEVERAL
BOXE, MMA STANDOUTS
TO JOIN NEW COMBAT SPORT,
SAYS PROMOTER FULTON


Former super welterweight world contender Vanes Martirosyan of Glendale, Calif., is the first standout to join International Championship Boxing, promoter of the revolutionary and exciting new combat sport that features boxing in a cage.


“Vanes is not just the first to sign a multi-bout, multi-year agreement with ICB, but he’s also the first of several,” says Jack Fulton, founder and Chief Executive Officer of the Virginia-based ICB.


“We are in discussions with many boxers, mixed martial artists and kickboxers, and some of the names definitely would surprise,” says Fulton. “It’s more than interest, it’s enthusiasm to box in ‘The Fight Zone.’ We’ve struck a chord with boxers and MMA fighters, and it’s resonating.”


The 32-year-old Martirosyan, originally from Armenia, a un dossier de 36-4-1 avec 21 KO.


Martirosyan’s most recent bout was against Gennady Golovkin on May 5 pour “GGG’s” World Boxing Association and the World Boxing Council middleweight championships, a fight he took on three-week notice.


Martirosyan had two previous title bouts, one for the WBA super welterweight crown and another for the World Boxing Organization super welterweight championship.


Martirosyan’s first bout in the ICB cage will be during the first quarter of 2019.
“I was surprised when I heard about boxing in a cage, but at the same time I was real happy,” says Martirosyan. “The idea is just amazing. Fans are going to love it.


“I’m going to be a nightmare in the cage,” says Martirosyan. “It’s easier to cut off the cage in a dog fight, and I’m an action fighter; I do bring the action.


“I challenge all fighters in the world, boxe ou MMA, to come into the cage with me, and I’ll show them what real fighting is all about,” says Martirosyan.


“Vanes and his team are excited to be part of this new and unique concept for boxing,” says his manager, Vince Carthron.


“It’s a format just made for Vanes, and we are delighted to be there at the beginning and helping to build it,” says Carthron. “It’s good for boxing fans, and it’s good for Vanes.”


It took Fulton almost two years to get the cage designed, built, patented and approved by boxing and athletic commissions within the United States, including the state of Nevada.


Un 18 year veteran promoter of the sport, through the years Fulton began to realize the sport needed something new, something fresh. And in 2016 he did something about it.


“The sport of boxing needed something revolutionary, et cela est-il,” says Fulton.


“The ICB cage better assures toe-to-toe, action non-stop, something that’s appealing to both boxing and mixed martial arts fans, and to the new hybrid athlete that’s proficient in more than one combat sport”


“We have no doubt ICB boxing in the cage will engage all ring sports fans,” says Fulton. “‘This is boxing for a new generation, a generation that has grown up watching combat sport in a cage. And that’s the main reason we conceived, created and now launched the ICB. It will re-energize boxing fans and bring MMA fans who prefer stand-up striking.”


“Vanes gets it; he sees the future and the opportunity,” says Fulton. “The ICB cage doesn’t force a boxer or an MMA fighter to make a choice; it offers them flexibility.”

Caldwell’s Bellator bantamweight title will not be on the line in the contest.

 

 

 

The latest agreement between Bellator and Rizin FF furthers a collaboration between the two companies which has seen multiple athletes, y compris Fedor Emelianenko, "Roi Mo" Lawal et Hisaki Kato entre autres, compete interpromotionally, but never before has a title from either promotion been on the line.

 

 

 

“Working for the Japanese fight company K-1 was a magical time during my promotional career and I have always felt strongly that MMA in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun’ would rise again. It truly is amazing to see what Nobuyuki Sakakibara has been able to do thus far with Rizin FF, so when he reached out to me about putting Darrion Caldwell against Kyoji Horiguchi for Rizin’s belt, we spoke to Darrion and he jumped at the opportunity,» Bellator Président Scott Coker a déclaré. “Bellator wants to support Rizin, and by sending our bantamweight champion to compete during their New Year’s Eve event, we look forward to this leading towards more collaboration between the two promotions in 2019. I want to wish Darrion luck in his quest to prove he is the best 135-pound fighter on the planet.”

 

 

 

“I am very grateful and honored that Bellator and Scott Coker would send us their unarguable bantamweight champion to fight for Rizin’s first-ever world title fight. This title fight will be a true champion vs. champion to determine the world’s best bantamweight fighter,” Rizin FF President Nobuyuki Sakakibara said. “We hope this kind gesture will kick off of a series of exciting matchups between both promotions in 2019. My dream would be that eventually we can co-promote a mega event in both countries with a ‘Champion Carnival’ taking place where stories and rivalries can be built and told.”

 

 

 

Caldwell, a 30-year-old Rahway, N.J. native and the current Bellator bantamweight champion, most recently moved up a weight class to challenge himself, successfully finishing veteran Noad tout. Combats de San Diego, Calif., “The Wolf” has emerged as one of the most well-rounded fighters in the world, collecting 10 victories since signing with Bellator in 2013. Le 2009 NCAA D-1 National Champion wrestler from NC State boasts a resume that includes five first-round finishes, a 25-minute war against Eduardo Dantas to claim the world title and a textbook guillotine choke submission victory over Leandro Higo in his first career title defense earlier this year.

“Ne fais pas d'erreur,” Lanwehr dit, “Je veux mettre un âne huée sur tout le monde dans la division. Lezhnev est juste la ligne suivante. Ne pensez pas à moi comme juste le champion, penser à moi comme le plus redoutable S.O.B qui peut faire 145 livres. Je viendrai à lui comme si je suis encore un challenger affamé essayant de faire une déclaration pour devenir un champion.
“J'aimerais avoir un tournoi avec tous les candidats. Nous avions tous se battre plusieurs fois sur une nuit contre tout le monde et le dernier homme debout est couronné roi. Mais, pour l'instant, Je combattrai qui M-1 se sent est le prochain candidat. Si vous avez un problème avec ça, alors cela signifie que vous n'êtes pas aussi impressionnant en tant que combattant que vous pensez. Parce que je les ai convaincus dans deux combats que je suis celui pour le travail et je suis le travail dans mon troisième (M-1) lutte.
Combats de l'Ukraine, Lezhnev (18-7-0, M-1; 6-3-0) gagné ce titre tiré en remportant neuf de son dernier 10 combats, y compris les trois derniers dans une rangée. Ses victimes sont une autre américaine, Lee “Bouledogue américain” Morrison, qui a perdu une décision unanime Lezhnev à M-1 Défi 69 en 2016.
Andrey Lezhnev a gagné son titre contre Lanwehr
“Landwehr est un bagarreur typique avec une belle cardio,” Lezhnev a commenté. “Tout le monde qui joue par ses règles perd. Il est également très provocateur, il aime créer le battage médiatique autour de lui. Pendant longtemps, il a essayé d'éviter ce combat, les gars difficiles qui ont passé leur premier, parce qu'il a compris qu'il avait aucune chance contre moi. Mais maintenant, le temps est venu de battre ce battage médiatique sur lui.”
Tous les combats et les combattants sont sujets à changement. Additionnel M-1 Challenge bataille à Atyraucombats seront annoncés prochainement.
