BELLATOR MMA CHAMPION ILIMA-LEI MACFARLANE DEFENDS FLYWEIGHT WORLD TITLE AGAINST UNDEFEATED JULIANA VELASQUEZ ON THURSDAY, Diċembru. 10

Ħalli kumment
LOS ANGELES – On Thursday, Diċembru 10, Bellator MMA presents a long-awaited world title bout featuring a clash of undefeated flyweights, bħala champ Ilima-Lei Macfarlane (11-0) defends her 125-pound championship belt against Brazil’s Juliana Velasquez (10-0) fi Bellator 254. The event airs live on CBS Sports Network from Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn.

CBS Sports Network se arja Bellator 254: Macfarlane vs. Velasquez JGĦIXU fl-Istati Uniti kollha. swieq, filwaqt li t-tlaqqigħ preliminari jixxandar fuq CBSSports.com u l-kanal YouTube ta ’Bellator MMA. Attakki addizzjonali jitħabbru f'data aktar tard.

Returning to the Bellator cage for the first time since a victory over Kate Jackson in her hometown of Honolulu last December, Macfarlane will look to continue her dominance over Bellator’s elite woman’s flyweight division as she defends her title against Julianna Velasquez on December 10. The inaugural Bellator flyweight champion, Macfarlane enters the contest with a perfect professional record of 11-0, including eight coming by way of stoppage. Adding to her impressive resume, “The Ilimanator” has the most victories amongst women in the Bellator cage (10) and has no plans of slowing down, as she seeks to add to her legacy inside the cage with her fifth successful title defense at Bellator 254.

With a professional record of 10-0, Rio de Janeiro’s Juliana Velasquez looks to remain perfect in her first chance at Bellator gold. The black belt judoka will attempt to become the second women’s flyweight champion in Bellator history when she looks to extend her promotional winning streak to six. With prior stoppage wins over Rebecca Ruth and Kristina Williams, Velasquez also defeated former 125-pound title challenger Alejandra Lara en route to her upcoming title shot. Much like Macfarlane, the 34-year-old Team Nogueira-product will be competing for the first time in 2020, nearly a year removed from her Bellator 236 deċiżjoni unanima rebħa fuq Bruna Ellen.

“SFT 22: The Return” for Breast Cancer Awareness Oct. 31 Sao Paulo fil, Brażil

Ħalli kumment

SAO PAULO, Brażil (Ottubru 19, 2020) -SFT MMA & Xtreme’s (Standout Fighting Tournament) rescheduled “SFT 22: The Return”, originally scheduled for August 1st but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic, has been replaced by an all-female main card in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness month,  to be held Halloween night (IS-SIBT, Ottubru. 31) Sao Paulo fil, Brazil.

SFT 22: The Return will be aired live on network television in Brazil in English and Portuguese, as well as streamed live in the United States and worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), jibda 10:45 p.m. EST / 7:45 p.m. PST, for only $14.99.

“Two years ago,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson qal, “we dedicated our card to Breast Cancer Awareness. It was an all-female card: ġellieda, referees, and cut-women. Even two of our ring-card girls brought their boyfriends to be ring-card boys. It was the first time in Brazil’s long MMA history that featured an all-female event. The first year I had joined SFT less than three months earlier and we weren’t able to get enough women fighters, so the main card was all-females.

“Earlier this year, prior to the pandemic, we were going to promote a card for International Women’s Day. We’re promotingSFT: 22 for Breast Cancer Awareness with a six-fight all-female card.”

The main event will pit undefeatedAndreia “Thai” Serafim (4-0-0, SFT: 2-0-0) kontraPamela Mara Assis (4-2-1, SFT: 2-0-0) for the vacant SFT Strawweight Championship. Undefeated Sarafim is an assistant “hodman,” a laborer for a bricklayer or mason who carries bricks, mortar, and cement. Both title challengers are undefeated in SFT action with identical 2-0-0 records. Assis is riding a 4-fight win streak

Fil-każ ko dehru, Karina “Killer” Silva (12-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) jieħu fuqSidy Rocha (12-7-2, SFT: 9-0-0) in a battle of Brazilian bantamweights, and strawweightJulia Polastri (7-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0) puts her 5-fight win streak on the line againstJessica “So Na Manha” Evelyn Cunha (8-2-0, SFT: 0-0-0). 

Brazil vs. Argentina is always a fierce rivalry in any sport and Brazilian strawweightBianca Sattelmayer meets her Argentinian opponent, Florencia Greco, in an SFT Xtreme match (SFT Xtreme allows striking, kicking and knees with 4-ounce gloves; clinching and fighting on the mat is prohibited).   

Brazilian bantamweightsThalita Diniz (2-1-0, SFT: 0-1-0) uClaudia Leite (4-2-0, SFT: 2-1-0) square off, filwaqtIsabela “Belinha” de Padua (5-2-0, SFT: 4-0-0 MMA) uPatricia Barbosa de Sousa MMA) will fight at a 128-pound catchweight.

“We’re really excited about this unique event,” Hudson concluded. “It’s a nice coincidence that we return to Brazil promoting a special event like this for Breast Cancer Awareness, in addition to showcasing the strength of Brazilian women MMA fighters. There’s still some bias against female fighters, but women always give their best in fights.

“The main event has the recipe to be one of the best female fights in years. Our Xtreme fight is Brazil versus Argentina and this is the ultimate rivalry. I’m sure fans will be talking about this night for a long time.”
