GEGARD MOUSASI DEFENDS BELLATOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP AGAINST UNBEATEN RAFAEL LOVATO JR.

LOS ANGELES – The co-main event of Bellator’s return to the “Fabulous” Forum in Inglewood, Calif. den jan. 26 will see reigning middleweight champion Gegard Mousasi (45-6-2) defend his title against undefeated Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt Rafael Lovato Jr. (9-0).

 

 

 

The main event of the card will feature the Finals of the Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix, where the greatest heavyweight of all-time Fedor Emelianenko (38-5, 1 NC) faces current light heavyweight champ Ryan Bader (26-5) for the Bellator world heavyweight title. A recently added featherweight bout will pit super-prospect Aaron Pico (4-1) against the always-tough Henry Corrales (16-3). Ytterligare matcher kommer att tillkännages under de kommande veckorna.

Fighting out of Leiden, South Holland, Nederländerna, Gegard Mousasi will be looking to follow-up his decisive TKO victory over Rory MacDonald vid Bellator 206 in what will be his second title defense since becoming champion earlier this year. “The Dreamcatcher” is currently in the midst of an impressive eight-fight win streak that dates back to 2016. The 33-year-old judo black belt has dominated the stacked middleweight class since signing with Bellator in 2017, collecting three victories in as many bouts, including a pair of knockouts against Rafael Carvalho and MacDonald in both of his world title fights. The former Strikeforce champion, who debuted in impressive fashion against Alexander Shlemenko, now looks to extend his current win streak and defend the middleweight belt for the second time in just five months.

 

 

 

Rafael Lovato Jr. will be making his sixth appearance for Bellator, a bout where not only will the 35-year-old’s unblemished mark of 9-0 be on the line, but also a world championship belt. Since signing with the Viacom-owned promotion in 2017, the Oklahoma City-based fighter has tallied five wins and four finishes, three of which came in the opening round, including his most recent submission win over top middleweight contender John Salter vid Bellator 205. A fourth-degree black belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, the former Legacy FC middleweight champ will finally have his shot at Bellator gold when he takes on current 185-pound champion Mousasi in the co-main event of Bellator’s return to Los Angeles on Jan. 26.

Medicinska bekymmer och kämparsäkerhet ledde till att FFC upphävdes 34
Foto med tillstånd av: Final Fight Championship

LAS VEGAS, NV (November 8, 2018) – På grund av orsaker som involverar medicinska problem, Final Fight Championship har meddelat det “FFC 34” den 9 november har officiellt ställts in.

 

 

 

Nick Sadeghi, MD för Athlete Advantage Medical i Las Vegas, NV, släppte följande uttalande till Final Fight Championship.

 

Nevada State Athletic Commission kräver att en serie medicinska undersökningar genomförs av en professionell fighter för att fastställa det medicinska tillståndet för en fighter, resultatet av dessa prov som avgör om fightern kommer att godkännas för att tävla eller inte. Av yttersta oro är fighters fysiska välbefinnande. Det fastställdes av oberoende läkare som genomförde undersökningarna för FFC såväl som Nevada State Athletic Commission att flera fighters som var planerade att tävla på kampkortet den 9 november inte skulle kunna tävla på grund av onormala MRA-fynd som identifierade små aneurysmer i hjärnan. Av uppenbara skäl, dessa fighters kunde inte godkännas för att tävla utan ordentlig medicinsk upparbetning. Detta inkluderar konsultation med en neurokirurg och en interventionsradiolog. Vissa fighters kan rensas efter detta, men vissa kan behöva ett kirurgiskt ingrepp för att korrigera aneurysmet innan han eller hon kan fortsätta kämpa i framtiden.

 

 

 

FFC VD/VD, Orsat Zovko, avgett eget utlåtande angående den olyckliga avbokningen.

 

 

 

“Vi är besvikna över att göra detta tillkännagivande, men med så kort varsel var det omöjligt att gå vidare eftersom fyra av våra sex slagsmål stoppades av kommissionen och medicinsk personal, inklusive vårt Main Event och Co-Event,” sa Zovko.

 

 

 

“Vi måste följa de strikta reglerna och riktlinjerna från Nevada Athletic Commission, och vi respekterar de beslut som tas av det medicinska samfundet, eftersom det är i fighters bästa intresse, och att skydda sin hälsa är det yttersta målet.”

Two of the most recognizable names in UFC and Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) historia, Liddell and Ortiz enter the cage on Thanksgiving weekend in what’s expected to be a throwback fight to the golden age of MMA. The fight takes place under Oscar De La Hoya’s Golden Boy Promotions banner.

The resumes of Liddell and Ortiz speak for themselves as both fought the most important fighters of their era. The two first fought in the UFC cage in 2004 after months of trash talk in which Liddell said he always dominated Ortiz in sparring during their past training sessions together. Liddell won the fight in spectacular fashion via KO, but the grudge was far from over. I 2006 the two faced off again with Ortiz vowing he would even the score. Ortiz fared much better in the second encounter but again succumbed to Liddell via referee stoppage TKO.

 

 

Tito Ortiz returns to the cage after a submission win over Chael Sonnen back in January 2017 to fight for redemption against his longtime rival Chuck Liddell. Liddell, coming out of retirement, is fighting to make it a perfect 3-0 over the “The Huntington Beach Bad Boy” and to close the door on a feud that has spanned more than a decade. With a rivalry this intense and emotions still running high, this trilogy fight has fighters and fans from multiple generations excited to see the final chapter of one of the biggest rivalries of all time!
