Cita de Karim Ghajji:

“Nos preparamos muy duro para esta pelea.. Todo lo que nos propusimos lograr, lo hicimos. Sé que podría hacerlo aún mejor, pero sabes que en las peleas no sale exactamente como quieres cada vez. En la primera ronda cuando resbalé, Me lastimé la rodilla y fue extremadamente doloroso, pero sabía que tenía que cavar y hacer más y más para ganar este cinturón., que significa todo para mi,” Ghajji dijo. “Este es el dia mas lindo de mi vida. Como decimos: "Aleluya! Recuperé mi cinturón.’ Sentí mucha presión para recuperar este cinturón., y que sensacion tan increible es reconquistarlo. Espero luchar contra los mejores luchadores que Bellator tiene para ofrecer para confirmar que soy el campeón., pero también, Me gustaría competir en MMA.. En Francia tenemos muchos luchadores duros de MMA en nuestro gimnasio y mi terreno y mi libra son bastante destructivos.. Me gustaría hacer esto.”

Joe Schilling (21-9) derrotado Alexandru Negrea (10-4) por decisión unánime (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

Cita de Joe Schilling:

“La pelea estuvo bien, me sorprendió mucho que fuera tan duro. Ha peleado en Super Combat en Rumanía, por lo que ha tenido muchos oponentes europeos duros contra los que ha luchado.. Nivel de habilidad No creo que haya peleado contra el nivel de competencia con el que yo he competido, pero hizo un muy buen trabajo y fue muy duro. Estaba tratando de engañarme para que lanzara con él e intentaba atraparme cuando entraba., así que estaba tratando de mantenerme mucho más sereno y demostrar que no soy ese idiota que luchó [Hisaki] Kato dos veces,” Schilling dijo. “Hice muchos cambios en mi vida personal.. Estoy mucho más concentrado y más serio y mi objetivo esta noche era mostrar el nivel de competidor y kickboxer de clase mundial que soy y creo que lo hice. Me quito el sombrero ante Alex, Él hizo un gran trabajo. No hay mucha gente que pueda hacer ese tipo de tiros durante tres rondas.. Creo que la decisión de los jueces fue un poco ridícula.. No creo que le hubiera dado la mitad de una ronda y mucho menos una ronda. Creo que le dieron el segundo, que es tonto. Pero, en general, fue una buena noche, las vacaciones comienzan ahora.”

Raymond Daniels (13-3) derrotado Csaba Gyorfi (20-6) y por KO 0:36 de la tercera ronda

Cita de Raymond Daniels:

“Otra oportunidad para salir y dejar huella con esa marca Bellator. Sé que mi hombre Nick Diaz dice: "Corta toda esa mierda giratoria,Pero creo que se refiere a todos menos a mí,” Daniels dijo. “He estado entrenando durante muchos años en kárate deportivo y artes marciales y sabes que es muy parecido a entrenar para ser un francotirador, por así decirlo.. Hay agujeros y hay ventanas y cuando tu oponente te da esos agujeros tienes que aprovechar esa oportunidad. Vi ese agujero, Lo expuse, y resultó ser con mi patada giratoria, que es una de mis técnicas más poderosas y devastadoras. Si golpeo esa marca con esa patada, es un jonrón, grand slam, Lo estoy sacando del parque todo el tiempo. Recientemente he podido entrenar con varios grandes veteranos de MMA como Rory MacDonald, Georges St. Pierre, Tyron Woodley y yo nos divertimos mucho entrenando con esos muchachos, así que definitivamente estoy interesado en volver a hacer MMA.. Es muy divertido hacerlo con guantes pequeños porque la gente no puede usar los guantes grandes como escudo para bloquear mis tiros.. Quiero apoderarme de este título de Bellator Kickboxing y seguir ayudando a construir esta marca de kickboxing porque sé que están invirtiendo mucho tiempo en ello.. Así que sí, Definitivamente estoy interesado en cruzar ese puente y tener algunas peleas de MMA, pero mi objetivo principal es llevarme a casa ese oro del kickboxing.”

 

Jorina Baars (41-0-3) derrotado Irene Martens (20-10-2) por decisión unánime (30-25, 30-25, 30-25)

Cita de Jorina Baars:

“Fue una buena pelea, Pensé que Irene [Martens] fue muy duro. Tuve el control desde el principio de la pelea y lo mantuve durante los tres asaltos.. Estuve un poco decepcionado en la primera ronda, pero en la segunda y tercera rondas me desempeñé mucho mejor.. Ella trabajó duro y se movió mucho., así que mi estrategia fue mantener la presión sobre ella e intentar ponerla en la esquina y creo que lo logré,” Baars dijo después de su victoria. “Fue increíble finalmente luchar por Bellator.. La organización es tan profesional. Espero con ansias mis futuras peleas aquí y espero ganar el título de Bellator.”

Gabor Gorbics (31-10) derrotado Gabriel Varga (13-5) por decisión dividida (29-28, 29-28, 28-30)

I’m used to Muay-Thai, which I’ve been practicing my whole life. I’ve done a few fights without elbows even though it’s still Muay-Thai so it’s a bit different from what I just did tonight. I just came from an MMA fight so I had to switch up my whole camp but this is what I want to do and this is the opportunity that Bellator has provided for me, so I’m going to take it and stay as busy as possible,” Bolanos said. “I want to thank Bellator, Scott Coker,, my coach Kirian Fitzgibbons and my team at CSA Gym for helping me and giving me all the opportunities that I’ve been given in my career.

TOP PROSPECT ED RUTH JOINS THIS FRIDAY’S ‘BELLATOR 168’ CARD IN FLORENCE FOR HIS SECOND FIGHT IN AS MANY MONTHS

 

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Diciembre. 6, 2016) – It was announced today that one of MMA’s hottest prospects, Y Ruth (1-0), will waste no time continuing to build his resume, as he fights Emanuele Palombi (5-2) for his second fight in as many months. The bout takes place este viernes en "Bellator 168: Sakara vs.. Beltrán," en Diciembre. 10 from the Mandela Forum in Florence and will air LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 4pm ET/PT.

 

A tan sólo 26 años, Ruth is looking to pave the way for the other members of “The New Breed," a group of highly accomplished wrestlers who have all signed to fight under the Bellator MMA banner including: Joey Davis (1-0), Tyrell fortuna (1-0), Jarod Trice (1-0) así como Aaron Pico y Romero algodón – the last of which have yet to make their highly anticipated professional debuts. Before he was a three-time National Champion and four-time All-American wrestler at Penn State University, Ruth attended the world-renown Blair Academy in Susquehanna Township, Pensilvania, where he was the top-ranked recruit in the nation for his weight class. Having achieved great success at every stage of competition throughout his life, Ruth aspires to have the Bellator middleweight gold around his waist before long. After making the move across the country to Fresno, Calif., where he now trains at Dethrone Basecamp with other Bellator MMA fighters like Josh Koscheck y Chris Honeycutt, Ruth made his professional MMA debut just last month on Noviembre. 4, when he finished Dustin Collins-Miles with strikes at 3:19 en la primera ronda.

 

Ruth now faces Rome’s Palombi, a seven-fight veteran with five victories including three KO’s and one submission. Ruth, who is taking the fight on less than a week’s notice, must quickly learn how to tune out a hometown crowd, who will certainly be heavily in favor of the Italian fighter.

 

The evening is highlighted by a main event featuring Italy’s most renowned mixed martial artist Alessio Sakara (18-11, 2 NC), who will duke it out with Joey “La Mexicutioner” Beltrán (17-13, 1 NC) in a light heavyweight main event.

The 30-year-old will be making his fifth appearance under the Bellator MMA banner and will look to extend his current winning streak to 14-bouts.

 

With a resume of knockouts as violent as Manhoef, it’s no surprise the Dutch competitor has earned the nickname of “No Mercy.” Known for his relentless striking style, the former K-1 and Strikeforce competitor finds himself once again in a position to lay claim to the Bellator 185-pound MMA title, and has even further incentive to leave the judges’ out of it.

 

Adoringly referred to by his fans as “The Doctor,” Petrosyan is one man you do not want an appointment with. The top-ranked Armenian-Italian striking ace will be making his debut with the budding Bellator Kickboxing Promotion when he squares off against Watson on 10 Diciembre. Training alongside his brother Armen, the 30-year-old southpaw put together an incredible 42-fight unbeaten streak, cultivating an extensive trophy case that includes multiple championship belts as well as “Kickboxer of the Year” accolades in both 2011 (BloodyElbow.com) y 2012 (LiverKick.com).

 

When you compete in the lightweight division in the world of kickboxing, aside from striving to earn the title, you’re also looking towards a fight with the No. 1 kickboxer in the world in Petrosyan. An ISKA World Champion and K-1 UK runner up, Watson will get that chance when he meetsThe Doctor” en “Bellator Kickboxing: Florence.It will be interesting to see what game plan the British striker implores when he meets his opponent — but if his nickname of ‘Quadzilla’ is any indication, the 28-year-old will utilize his kicks to keep the vicious striking of Petrosyan at bay. Training extensively around the world, Watson has also spent a good amount of time in the Muay Thai scene, accruing a knack for finishes (21) en el camino. Victorious in his lone 2016 lucha, Watson hopes to soar into 2017 with a win against arguably the greatest kick boxer in the world under his belt.
