Naširoko smatran najvećim teškašem u povijesti mješovitih borilačkih vještina, Fjodor Emelianenko vraća se u kavez BELLATOR-a prvi put od njegove dominantne pobjede u prvom krugu nad TKO-om Quinton "Rampage" Jackson u 2019. Uz sjajnu karijeru u kojoj je vidio kako zarađuje 30 zaustavljanja u njegovom 39 pobjede nad legendarnom oporbom, bivši svjetski prvak u teškoj kategoriji PRIDE FC borit će se u svojoj zemlji Rusiji prvi put nakon pet godina. Četverostruki svjetski prvak u borbenom sambu, "Posljednji car" sastavio je suludu osmogodišnju neporaženu seriju na putu da postane međunarodna MMA ikona. Emelianenko je osnovao tim Fedor, which features several top Russian fighters including BELLATOR’s Light Heavyweight World Champion Vadim Nemkov and BELLATOR’s Interim Heavyweight Champion Valentin Moldavsky. With his last three victories coming by way of first-round finish, Fedor želi dodati još jedno uzbudljivo poglavlje u svoju etapu borbene karijere u listopadu 23.

2020 was a huge year for Johnson, as the UFC vet notched three wins in as many fights with impressive first-round finishes over Matt Mitrione a Tyrell Fortune and a decision victory over Cheick Kongo during the historic, first-ever major MMA event in France. The Xtreme Couture-product showed that he’s got the skill and stamina for championship rounds as he went the full five with Team Fedor’s Valentin Modlavsky (11-1) prošlog lipnja. Proudly hailing from North Dakota, Johnson is a current member of the United States National Guard who won two national championships while wrestling at Minnesota State University.

Lima and Page first met inside the BELLATOR Cage in May 2019 naBELLATOR 221in the semifinals of BELLATOR’s Welterweight World Grand Prix. After an even first round, Lima sent Page to the canvas with a sweeping leg kick, which he then followed up with a spectacular punch and ground and pound strikes to finish the fight.

C-Juliana Velasquez (12-0) poražen #3-Denise Kielholtz (6-3) preko Splita odlukom (48-47, 47-48, 48-47)

Juliana Velasquez:
“I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.”

“I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.”

“When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.”

#5Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) poražen #7-Matt Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) putem dostave (štrajkovi) na 1:45 okruglog jedan

Tyrell Fortune:
“I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there.

“I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Kao sto sam rekao, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight.

“I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. Meni, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his aout just like he did me.”

Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) poražen Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) putem TKO (štrajkovi) na 1:33 od krugu dva

Matheus Mattos:
“He’s a wrestler. Tako, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. Srećom, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.”

"Osjećam se odlično, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. Nadajmo se, everything went well.

“My two losses were to two of the best in the world. Tako, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, and now they know me. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us.

“I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.”

#2Arlene Blencowe (14-8) poražen Dayana Silva (9-6) putem TKO (punches) na 1:00 od krugu tri

Arlene Blencowe:
"Osjećam se odlično. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. Tako, this win is for you.”

“I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.”

#5-Johnny Eblen (9-0) poražen Travis Davis (10-5) putem jednoglasnom odlukom (30-27, 30-26, 30-26)

Johnny Eblen:

“My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. Tako, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.”

“He was talking s— kazivanje, "Hej, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.”

SFT 27 this Thursday screening on FITE from Brazil

The wait is over

Two title fights featured on SF7 27

This Thursday on FITE from Brazil

SAO PAULO, Brazil (Srpanj 12, 2021) – The first SFT event of 2021,SFT 27, will be held this Thursday night (Srpanj 15) Sao Paulo u, Brazil, featuring a pair of SFT title fights, in SFT’s first show since last December.

SFT 27 will be streamed exclusively on FITE in the United States and worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), s početkom u 6:00 poslije podne. I / 3:00 poslije podne. PT, for only $14.99.

“The wait is over,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson proclaimed. “Our main event between rising star ‘Maumito’ and always dangerous Bispo will determine who the King of Brazilian lightweights is today. We also have another SFT title fight as Cantuaria and Borges battle for the vacant SFT female flyweight crown. The rest of this card is loaded as well with some of Brazil’s up-and-coming fighters

The main event pits SFT’s 2020 Fighter godine, Manuel “Maumito” Sousa (6-0-0, SFT: 6-0-0), protiv veteranaBrendo “The Monster” Bispo (17-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) for the vacant SFT Lightweight Championship.

The 23-year-old Sousa is a tremendous striker whose overall combat sports record includes 23 straight victories in kickboxing, 18 nokautom, and all six of his pro MMA fights have been victories in SFT competition, none going into the third round.

“I’m training well, a lot on the ground, because I know he has a Jiu-Jitsu black belt,” Sousa reported. “But since I’m training hard, I’m not worried about that. MMA brings together all areas, so you need to be ready. In training, we put ourselves in danger, as if we were in the fight, and that increases my confidence, and it keeps the gas in check. At 27 godina star, Brendo Bispo has more experience in professional MMA than me with 17 wins and four losses. ‘Maranhão’ sees the point as positive, međutim, he knows that it is not a guarantee of victory. Therefore, he benefits from his work carried out at Chute Boxe Diego Lima, one of the main teams in the country.”

Currently on a 6-fight win streak, Bispo accepted the challenge of fighting hot prospect Sousa after a few other fighters passed on the opportunity. Acclaimed as one of the top lightweights in Brazil, Bispo now has the chance to prove he’s No. 1 versus Sousa. Bispo trains at the famed Chute Boxeo, under the direction of the famedCharles Oliveira.  A solid all-around fighter, the more experienced Bispo has seven victories by knockout, along with five more by submission.

“As often as I’ve fought,” Bispo said, “I always think like it’s the first time. Tako, I don’t generate as many expectations and my mind goes blank, something that helps me a lot in my daily life and in the fight. On the other hand, I’ve learned a lot by climbing in the cage to fight 22 puta, so that helps. The main one, međutim, is the training at Chute Boxe Diego Lima. Now, in the final stretch of the fight, we are going more slowly, working on our strategy, rest, and weight loss. Diego Lima is my teacher, prijatelj, and manager (smijeh), so he’s been with me. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to be in my corner, but he spent the necessary time.You can expect a renewed Brendo; more technical, brže, and stronger.

U suradnji opremljenog događaja, Mayra Cantuaria (8-3-1, SFT: 2-0-0) licaPaty Borges (4-4-0, SFT: 2-2-0) for the vacant SFT Female Flyweight Championship. Cantuaria, who has fought the in the traditional Japanese event, Pacrase, while Borges has won her last two fights heading into her showdown with Cantuaria.

Another sensational match-up isBruno “Beirutel” Tavares (13-5-1, SFT: 1-0-0) against featherweightThiago “Manchinha” Silva(19-9-0 (SFT: 0-1-0). Other exciting MMA fights include welterweightLuis “Hulk” Fernando (18-6-0) vsAlex “Canguru” Sandro (10-3-0), perolaka kategorijaMarcos “Maraja” Rodriguez (16-5-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vsEstabill Amato (10-4-0, SFT: 1-2-0), bantamweightDeja Moura (5-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vsManoel Lima “Aranja” Silva (5-4-0, SFT: 1-1-0), flyweightMarciano Ferreira (5-1-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vsAntonio “Piaui” Rodrigues (9-2-0, SFT: 0-1-0), neporaženi bantamFernando “Fernandinho” Henrique (3-0-0, SFT: 1-0-0) vsApollo “Deus Da Guerra” Gomes (5-0-0) and pro debutingLuana Santos vs. bantamweightMajorie “Brutal” Barragan (1-0-0).
