LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT LOOKS TO REBOUND AGAINST PURPLE BELT

Laat een reactie achter

Portland, Maine (September 27, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) zal zijn laatste mixed-martial-arts evenement houden van 2018, “NEF 36: Strijd om het goud,” op zaterdag, November 17 bij Aura in Portland, Maine. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card. Mohammad Al Kinani (4-1) is gepland te staan Jamie Sprague (0-0) bij een gevecht gewicht van 155-pond.

 

 

 

Mohammad Al Kinani will look to rebound from the first loss of his amateur career against Ramano Medina (5-0) last summer in New Hampshire. Voorafgaand aan die tijd, Al Kinani had won the first four fights of his career, the most recent three emphatically by first-round knockout. Hij is een perfecte 2-0 in de NEF kooi. Al Kinani is a member of Evolution Athletix, a team housed in a brand new, state-of-the-art training facility opened earlier this year just off Route 1 in Saco, Maine.

 

 

 

“Jamie is definitely dangerous, but I always go in there knowing my opponent is dangerous,” Al Kinani stated. “I’d like to think I am too. More than ever. I’m feeling extremely sharp and I know I can bring in all the heat to that cage. Sprague has been training for a long time under one of the best schools in the area and probably thinks I’m an easy win, but I have been training and putting in more work than ever with the best of the best to come back from a first recent loss. He will understand the pressure of being locked up in there with me. I’m ready to shock everyone November 17th.”

 

 

 

Despite his lack of cage competition experience, Jamie Sprague is no newcomer to the combat sports world. As Al Kinani indicated, Sprague has trained for some time in the martial arts. He holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a member of Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire under current UFC competitor, and former NEF Pro Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (9-3).

 

 

 

“Mo’s a tough guy,” said Sprague, “no doubt about that. But with all due respect, Ik wil een verklaring afleggen. I want his neck.”

 

 

 

NEF's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 36: Strijd om het goud,” zal het bedrijf zien terugkeren naar Aura in Portland, Maine. Het evenement is gepland voor zaterdag, November 17, 2018 met een beltijd van 7 pm. Tickets zijn nu te koop bij www.AuraMaine.com.

In The Rage…… ROMAN BOGATOV

Laat een reactie achter
DEZE VRIJDAG
M-1 Challenge 97 in Kazan, Rusland

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (September 26, 2018) — Undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov neemt, Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) this Friday in the M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7 main event, voor the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, at Kazan, Rusland.

 

M-1 Challenge 97 zal worden live gestreamd vanuit Rusland in High Definition op www.M1Global.TV. Kijkers kunnen de voorlopige gevechten en belangrijkste kaart bekijken door in te loggen op registreren op zal zijn www.M1Global.TV. Fans kunnen alle actie kijken op hun computers, alsmede op Android en Apple smartphones en tablets. M-1 Challenge 97 also will be available on www.FITE.TV (voorlopige kaart is gratis, $7.99 voor de belangrijkste kaart).

 

 

 

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.

 

 

 

Bogatov (6-0-0, M-1: 5-0-0) is een submission master, four of his six pro victories have been by way of choke-outs, because of his dangerous grappling skills and techniques. In his last fight this past June at M-1 Challenge 94, Bogatov earned his title shot by defeating always tough Raul Tutarauli (18-5-0), whose previous fight was a decision loss to Ismagulov in the latter’s final M-1 Challenge title defense.

 

 

 

Bogatov recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:

 

How was training camp?

RB: “For the fight against Pereira, I’ve trained in Ekaterinburg, Rusland, at RMK Academy with famous fighters like Ivan Shtyrkov, Alexey Kunchenko, Mikhail Ragozin, Artur Karavaev and Pavel Gordeev, who was preparing for his fight at the same event, M-1 Challenge 97 / Tatfight 7. In camp, I have focused on my cardio, because this is the foundation of my success and a key to victory. I also had many sparring and wrestling sessions and had CrossFit workouts in the morning.”

 

What advantages do you have over your opponent?

 

 

 

RB: “I have will power, wrestling and grappling skills and I’m ready to constantly push forward and dominate this fight. Pereira is a patient and tough opponent, so it’s not simple to finish him. He is used to long fights, has good cardio, decent striking and wrestling skills and as any Brazilian, he has a solid BJJ game.”

 

How is it preparing for this fight?

 

 

 

RB: “Before fights I am doing my best not to think too much about the upcoming battle. I prefer just to train and spend time with my family and friends. Right before the fight, you start to pump yourself up. When you need to cut weight, you become a bit more aggressive, because that’s not an easy thing to do. At the face-off when you are looking right into the eyes of your opponent, you get a boost of motivation and can’t wait to enter The Rage.”

 

What is your goal?

 

 

 

RB: “My goal is to win the belt, defend it, and be an active and dominant champion. Some of the M-1 Challenge champs have signed contracts with the UFC and I would love to follow their path in the future.”

 

What is your best experience?

 

 

 

RB: “The most pleasant thing in the game is not the victory itself, not even winning the belt. The best thing is the feeling when you come back home, see the smile on your mother’s face, and give hugs to your parents and family. This is the best feeling in the world.”

LFA TO HOST A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED SHOWDOWN DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

Laat een reactie achter

LFA 52 – RODRIGUEZ vs. GUTIERREZ
MAIN EVENT:
“THE JUDGE”
RAY RODRIGUEZ
vs.
“EL GUAPO”
CHRIS GUTIERREZ
Bantamgewicht KRACHTMETING
Vrijdag, OCTOBER 19th LIVE on AXS TV
BELL COUNTY EXPO CENTER
in BELTON, TEXAS
Tickets zijn NU te koop via LFATIX.com

 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will head deep in the heart of Texas in October with a high-stakes bantamweight showdown at the top of LFA 52.

 

 

 

The main event of LFA 52 will feature a good old-fashioned showdown between Texas natives and top LFA bantamweights Ray “The Judge” Rodriguez and Chris “El Guapo” Gutierrez. LFA 52 – Rodriguez vs. Gutierrez takes place Friday, October 19th at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas. De gehele belangrijkste kaart zal live worden uitgezonden en de landelijke op AXS TV bij 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA to the Centroplex of Texas at LFA 52,” Opgegeven Soares. “Ray Rodriguez and Chris Gutierrez are two of the top prospects in Texas and they both looked great in their LFA debuts. Now they have the chance to gain Texas bragging rights, while establishing divisional dominance. They will face each other in the main event of LFA 52 at the Bell County Expo Center on Friday, October 19th.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 52 – Rodriguez vs. Gutierrez are available for purchase NOW at LFATIX.com

 

 

 

Rodriguez (13-4) is a San Antonio native that is arguably one of the most accomplished fighters to hail from Alamo City. Over the past three years, he has defeated eight consecutive opponents, but ironically the man known as “The Judge” only let those eight fights go to the judge’s scorecards twice during the streak. Rodriguez now has his sights set on winning gold on a global stage. In order to jump into the title picture in a stacked LFA bantamweight division, the talented Texan is looking to make an example of an intrastate rival in the biggest MMA event to hit Central Texas this year. Judgement Day for “The Judge” comes Friday, October 19th at LFA 52.

 

 

 

Guiterrez (11-2-1) is perhaps the only Texan to experience a similar level of success as Rodriguez within the ultra-competitive LFA bantamweight division. Both men picked up marquee wins over top-tier Brazilian opposition in their promotional debuts. The wins took place 6 months apart from each other and chatter within the “Lone Star State” reached a fever pitch about a possible clash between the state’s two bantamweight kingpins. “El Guapo” expects to be rewarded handsomely with a second straight win over an LFA main event victor. Gutierrez, a Greenville native, will meet the surging San Antonian in an epic I-35 showdown in Belton, Texas.

 

 

 

Hoofd Card (Uitgezonden op AXS TV op 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT):

 

 

Main Event | Bantamgewicht Bout (135 pond)

– Ray Rodriguez (13-4) vs. Chris Gutierrez (11-2-1)

 

Co-Main Event | Vlieggewicht gevecht (125 pond)

– Jonathan Martinez (9-1) vs. Cee Jay Hamilton (13-6)

– Itzel Esquivel (3-2) vs. Vanessa Demopoulos (1-0)

 

Vedergewicht Bout (145 pond)

– Cameron Graves (7-2) vs. Peter Stanonik (5-4)

 

 

 

 

LFA 52 will be the first LFA event to take place in the Centroplex of Texas. It will also be the thirteenth time that LFA has traveled to “Texas” van Texas. De volledige hoofdkaart van LFA 52 zal live worden uitgezonden en de landelijke op AXS TV bij 9 p.m. EN / 6 p.m. PT.

In The Rage Rubenilton Pereira

M-1 Challenge 97, September 28 in Kazan, Rusland

SINT PETERSBURG, Rusland (September 21, 2018) — Brazilian mixed-martial-arts veteran Rubenilton Pereira faces undefeated Russian rising star Roman Bogatov(6-0-0), September 29, voor the vacant M-1 Challenge 97 lightweight title, hemelbekleding M-1 Challenge: Tatfight in Kazam, Rusland.

 

M-1 Challenge 97 zal worden live gestreamd vanuit Rusland in High Definition op www.M1Global.TV. Kijkers kunnen de voorlopige gevechten en belangrijkste kaart bekijken door in te loggen op registreren op zal zijn www.M1Global.TV. Fans kunnen alle actie kijken op hun computers, alsmede op Android en Apple smartphones en tablets. M-1 Challenge 97 zal ook beschikbaar zijn op www.FITE.TV (voorlopige kaart is gratis, $7.99 voor de belangrijkste kaart).

 

 

 

The M-1 Challenge lightweight crown is vacant because the last champion, Damir Ismagulov, recently relinquished his title to sign a UFC contract.

 

 

 

Peer (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) heeft zijn laatste vier gevechten gewonnen, including a technical knockout in his last action, also at M-1 Challenge 94 last June, wanneer Oktom Baktybek ws unable to continue to fight after the opening round. Pereira’s two M-1 Global losses have been to a pair of M-1 Challenge champions, Ismagulov and Alexander Butenko, both by decision.

 

 

 

Pereira recently entered The Rage to answer a few questions of interest:

 

How do you feel about this title shot and not getting a rematch against?

 

 

 

RP: “I’m very thankful for the opportunity to fight for the title. I have been working hard to receive my title shot and, natuurlijk, I was hoping to have a rematch with the champ, Damir Ismagulov. I was surprised when they told me Ismagulov left the belt vacant to sign with the UFC. I’m happy for him. He is a great fighter and I know he can become the UFC champion, te".

 

How do you feel about fighting in M-1 Global?

 

 

 

RP: “I enjoy fighting in M-1 Global and I’d like to stay here for a long time. They’ve treated me really good. Nu, I’m on a four-fight winning streak, but I was not that successful when I first joined the promotion. After two losses in a row I thought they were going to send me home, but they gave me another chance and I seized it.

 

How do you effectively drop nearly 50 pounds from your walk-around weight to fight as a lightweight?

 

 

 

RP: “I have no special secret. Ik train gewoon moeilijk, three times a day, Sunday to Sunday. Usually, I weigh around 92 kg (203 lbs), but I never miss weight and always make 70 kg (154 lbs) for the weigh-ins. Some think this is a huge advantage for me in the fight but, geloof me, I suffer much more than anybody to make weight.”

 

What do you know about your next opponent, Roman Bogatov?

 

 

 

“Roman Bogatov is a tough opponent. Maybe he has better wrestling and takedowns, but I’m a much better grappler. I’m self-confident and know that I can tap him out. If he takes me down, that’s better for me. I had a great camp and I’m ready for five rounds, but one of us will fall before round three.”
