Las Vegas, NV, (Říjen. 20, 2018) – Sometimes things in life are simply quick and painless. Most of the fights at FFC 32 nicméně, were actually quick and painful. Vykrojení, let’s be honest, usually are quite painful.

 

 

 

Friday night’s Main Event was one of the only fights at FFC 32 (which was an all-MMA event) that did not end in a knockout. Shelton “Gravedigger” Graves (9-3-0) defeated Carl “Badwater” Seumanutafa (11-9-0) jednomyslným rozhodnutím (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) to win the vacant FFC MMA Heavyweight Championship Title.

 

 

 

Graves did a great job of avoiding standing toe-to-toe with the knockout artist, Seumanutafa, spending most of the fight pressing the heavy-handed Samoan (Seumanutafa) up against the ropes and using knees to the body and a series of quick uppercuts to frustrate his opponent. Strategie fungovala, as Seumanutafa was frustrated with the constant pressure, which allowed Graves to keep him on the ropes and against the turnbuckle, taking away any opportunity for a Seumanutafa trademark knockout.

 

 

 

In the Co-Main Event, Undefeated Welterweight, Austin “AK-47” Vanderford (6-0-0), kept his unblemished record in tact when he rocked Emilson “The Amazonian Warrior” Freitas (7-3-0) with a nice left hand to the temple at the 1:38 známka prvním kole. Vanderford wins by KO for only the second time in his professional career.

 

 

 

Previously unbeaten Light Heavyweight, Ivan Erslan (6-1-0), was trying to stay undefeated as a professional but his opponent, Branko Busick (3-1-0) had other ideas. Busick sent Erslan to the canvas at the 4:41 mark of the second round with a solid left hand to the chin and it was all she wrote for Erslan. Busick picks up the first KO victory of his young career.

 

 

 

In the Lightweight division, as promised, it was a “grapplers paradise” for as long as it lasted… And it didn’t last very long. Brandon “Kiba” Ricetti (9-2-0) submitted Adam “Smash” Kovář (11-10-0) by Arm Triangle at the 4:26 mark of the very first round. If you’re keeping score, all nine of Ricetti’s wins have come by submission.

 

 

 

FFC 32 took place at its permanent home, “Fight Dome”, which is located at Caesars Entertainment’s Rio Las Vegas. The event aired nationwide on CBS Sports Network.

Zanechat komentář

 

 

AUSTIN, TEXAS — (Září 16, 2016) — It took 15 minutes of heavyweight action during the main event of “Bellator 161: Kongo vs. Johnson” to decide a winner between Cheick Kongo (25-10-2) a Tony Johnson (10-3), ale nakonec, bylo “The Darkness” who emerged victorious via majority decision v pátek noc.

The heavyweight title picture remains unclear, but if one thing’s certain, it’s that Kongo will have a claim to the strap when the promotion decides to put the title back on the line.

 

Guillotine Choke Fuels Joe Warren to Victory in Co-Main Event

Joe Warren (14-5) a Sirwan Kakai (12-5) traded blows for over ten minutes of heart pounding action in the evening’s co-main event, but it was Warren who finished on top after delivering a neck crank submission just 1:04 do třetího kola. Po vítězství, the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” is now tied for second all-time in Bellator MMA victories with 12.

The loss marks the first time over Kakai’s eight-year career that he has been finished by an opponent.

Na 28, Miranda will be making her Bellator MMA debut when she steps into the cage on September 16. Since begining her professional career in 2014, Miranda has recorded a pair of wins, both of which came at the expense of opponent Natalia Cristina Silva. In her first career victory, the Brazilian prospect finished her challenger with a second round knockout and followed up the impressive performance with an equally splendid first round rear-naked choke submission. A native of Belo Horizonte, Brazílie, Miranda will look to prove she belongs with the world’s best when she meets her “Bellator 161: Kongo vs. Johnson” opponent.

Ducote burst onto the Bellator MMA scene following a second-round rear-naked choke finish of Bruna Vargas at “Bellator 159: Caldwell vs.. Taimanglo.” The win earned the the 23-year-old Oklahoma native an exclusive contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion, and was her third straight win in 2016 since dropping the opening bout of her young mixed martial arts career. Training out of American Top Team’s affiliate in OKC, “Gordinha” will look to keep the momentum going when she takes on another top Brazilian prospect on September 16.

At 32-years-old, Dickman has quietly climbed the ranks as one of MMA’s most consistent featherweights. After beginning his professional career 5-0, the Las Vegas native continued his hot start, emerging victorious in nine of his first 10 konce. The knockout artist will be making his second appearance under the Bellator MMA umbrella, after defeating Thomas Diagnevia brutal third round knockout at “Bellator 154: Davis vs. King Mo.” Of his 11 professional victories, seven have come by way of KO, punctuated by three first round finishes. “Tricky” enters this fight having won six of his last seven bouts and his last two, as he tries to add to his career total and remain unbeaten since joining the Bellator MMA circuit.

Best known as a submission specialist, the 30-year-old Pineda has spent time with multiple local promotions as well as the UFC during his 33-fight career. Nicknamed “The Pit,” Pineda enters the cage having won three of his last four bouts and the opportunity to earn his first victory since joining the Bellator MMA fray. Hailing from Houston, Pineda will have the hometown edge over his opponent as the Scott Coker-led promotion will take its talented roster to Cedar Park and the H-E-B Center for the first time. Dating back to 2012, each of his last six wins has come by way of submission, with five of them occurring in the opening round of action. It’s worth noting that all 21 of Pineda’s wins have come by way of knockout or submission.

Hailing from Paris, Francie, 29-fight veteran Babene will be making his second appearance under the Bellator MMA banner. The 32-year-old “Blade” emerged victorious in his promotional debut earlier this year, when he defeated Brandon Farran with a first round rear-naked choke submission at “Bellator 150: Kongo vs. Spartan.” The French middleweight has amassed 17 career wins thus far, 14 of which have come by way of knockout or submission. Babene will face one of the stiffest tests of his career, as he prepares to face rising middleweight “Kiko” France.

France will be fighting for the third time under the direction of Bellator MMA, after earning a victory over Ben Reiter in his Bellator debut at “Bellator 146: Kato vs.. Manhoef.” The 33-year-old nicknamed “Kiko” will also be making his 19th overall appearance in the cage, where he has accrued 13 professional wins; 12 of which have come by way of submission. The Gilbert, Arizona native is currently riding a hot streak, claiming victories in six of his last eight fights (including one draw). The veteran submission specialist will have his hands full, as he prepares to enter enemy territory and challenge Babene in his home state of Texas on September 16th.

MATT MITRIONE SI VYBÍRÁ BELLATOR MMA, PODPIS EXKLUZIVY, VÍCEBOJOVÁ SMLOUVA S PROPAGACÍ

Zanechat komentář

SANTA MONICA (Březen 14, 2016) - Minulý týden, volný hráč špičkových smíšených bojových umění Matt Mitrione (9-5) se připojil k show Ariela Helwaniho „Hodina MMA“ a odhalil, že nabízel nabídky z několika propagačních akcí, včetně skvělé nabídky, kterou obdržel od Bellator MMA. Ve velmi vzácném pohybu, Helwani nechal Mitrione znovu se připojit k jeho populární talk show na druhý týden po sobě, aby oznámil, že papírování bylo dokončeno, dělá z Mitrione nejnovějšího člena těžké váhy Bellator MMA.

 

„V životě každého sportovce přijde chvíle, kde se scénáře mění a krajina eroduje z toho, kvůli čemu jste se do ní zpočátku zamilovali,“ řekl Mitrione. "Už to pro mě nastalo.". Po oboustranně výhodném období bezplatného zastoupení, Rozhodl jsem se přesunout svou kariéru do Bellatoru. Užil jsem si téměř každou sekundu své kariéry a na rozdíl od většiny těch, kteří změnili organizaci kvůli tomu, že jsem byl přerušen nebo už nebyl schopen vystupovat na nejvyšší sportovní úrovni, Přináším tělo a sadu dovedností, které se jen zlepšují, a nemohu se dočkat, až otestuji své schopnosti proti tomu nejlepšímu, co Bellator nabízí."

 

S láskou označovaný jako „Meathead,Mitrione je jedním z mála bojovníků, kteří začali svou profesionální kariéru v UFC, aniž by předtím závodili na regionálním okruhu.. Jeho 14 zápas s touto propagací začal v roce 2009, kde čelil impozantním protivníkům, jako byli např: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Mimo jiné Shawn Jordan a Travis Brown.

 

Před soutěží v MMA, Mitrione získal stipendium na defenzivní boj za fotbalový tým Purdue Boilermakers, nedaleko místa, kde vyrůstal ve Springfieldu, Nemocný. Po vysoké škole, hrál v NFL za New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers a Minnesota Vikings do 2005.

 

Na závěr své profesionální fotbalové kariéry, Shotokan Karate Black Belt zaměřil veškerou jeho pozornost na sport MMA. Mitrione trávil čas tréninkem s vévodou Roufusem a vysoce respektovaným týmem Roufusport, než přistál ve slavném kempu Blackzilians v Boca Raton., FLA, kde dnes trénuje.

 

Mimořádně oblíbený a dobře mluvený Mitrione dovolil rozhodčím určit výsledek jeho souboje pouze dvakrát, proti Joey Beltran a Cheick Kongo, oba aktuálně bojují za Bellator MMA. Jeho zábavný bojový styl mu vynesl uznání “Představení noci” (dvakrát) a “Boj noci” pocty.

 

Před jeho posledním bojem s jeho bývalým povýšením, Mitrione byl nucen zúčastnit se mediální relace naboso, protože jeho boty nedodržovaly přísnou politiku firemních uniforem. V Bellatoru žádné takové problémy mít nebude, kde si může zajistit vlastní sponzory a udržet si nohy v teple obuví dle vlastního výběru.

 

Bellator v poslední době posiluje svou divizi těžké váhy, a Mitrione se stává druhým volným hráčem těžké váhy, kterého povýšení za tolik měsíců podepsalo, jako Sergei Kharitonov se do boje zapojil v únoru. Divize je v současné době mistrem o Vitaly Minakov, a zahrnuje další přední jména jako Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius „Sparťan,"Tony Johnson.", Justin Wren, Dan Charles a Augusto Sakai.
