Michael Chandler Stuns Eddie Alvarez To Capture Bellator Lightweight Title At Bellator 58

Lombard Victorious In Catchweight Fight

CHICAGO, Ill. () — In one of the best fights the Bellator cage has ever hosted, undefeated lightweight Michael Chandler fulfilled his dream of becoming a world champion at Bellator 58 with a fourth round submission victory over the reigning Bellator Lightweight Champion Eddie Alvarez LIVE on MTV2 and in HD on EPIX.

The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino was in a frenzy as Alvarez set out to defend his Bellator title since capturing the belt in Belltaor’s first season. In his first title defense, his superior boxing led to a five round decision win over the last tournament champion, Pat Curran, but this time his opponent wouldn’t stop moving forward. Alvarez was able to fend off Chandler’s takedown attempts, but Chandler connected with too many power punches and had Alvarez on the fence multiple times.

In the fourth round, one of Chandler’s powerful punches stunned Alvarez and dropped the Lightweight Champion to the mat, where Chandler was able to gain full mount with a knee to belly pass. He poured the pressure on Alvarez and forced him to turn over where he sunk in a rear naked choke and forced a tap almost immediately. Chandler was awarded the win, and more importantly the Bellator Lightweight Championship.

“Chandler vs. Alvarez was quite simply the best mixed martial arts fight I have ever seen,” said Bellator Chairman and CEO Bjorn Rebney. “After having watched over 1000 fights since the early 1990’s, I’ve never seen a better back and forth battle. Chandler’s win over Alvarez is a win over a fighter who I believed was the best lightweight in the world, while at the same time is a testament to what Bellator is all about. Aguilar vs. Ellis was a tremendous battle, and speaks to the great quality that exists in the women’s MMA game, and a quality that we will continue to support. Hector Lombard again showed his tremendous dominance and his spectacular power, and Marlon Sandro came back from a loss to regain top form and use this fight as a spring board into our next featherweight tournament.”
Also stepping in the cage was Florida resident and current Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard, who gave the fans just what they wanted by delivering an exciting TKO finish in the second round. Lombard displayed his raw power more than once in this fight with ferocious flurries aimed right at Prangley’s head whenever he was able to cut off the cage.

In the end it was a failed two punch combination from Prangley that left his chin vulnerable to a counter left from Lombard. The punch left Prangley stunned and staggering. Lombard swung away with vicious hooks until the referee stepped in due to unanswered strikes at 1:06 of Round Two.

Two of the top ranked women in Bellator met for the second time in their careers as Jessica “Jag” Aguilar earned a dominant win by unanimous decision over Lisa Ellis. Aguilar won all three rounds on every judges’ scorecard and avenged a loss to Ellis from five years ago. She beat Ellis on her feet, throwing punches in bunches and landing plenty of straight left and right hands. It was an impressive victory for Aguilar.

Former Featherweight Tournament Runner-Up Marlon Sandro returned to his winning ways in his first Bellator battle since being KO’d by Pat Curran in the finals this past August. Sandro predicted a knockout win over Rafael Dias but was knocked down by his opponent early in the first round. He sat up immediately though and put Dias on his back when he tried to follow him to the floor. Once the pair returned to their feet, Sandro was able to apply an arm triangle while standing and forced a tap on the ground after he muscled Dias to the mat with his head and arm securely trapped.

The organization returned to the U.K. brining their first five-round non-title affair as Mark Munoz took on perennial contender Chris Leben in the main event of the evening.
Munoz put his highly touted wrestling skills to the test, as he managed to bring Leben down to the canvas time and time again, working in his infamous ground and pound blows and even transitioning to mount in the later stages of the bout.

In between rounds, Leben told his corner that he had a hard time being able to see, to which his cornerman replied by calling a halt to the bout, making Munoz the winner by second-round TKO.
In the co-main event, former contender Brad Pickett looked to cinch his first UFC victory when he took on top prospect Renan Barao. The Brazilian proved his meddle by dominating the Brit in his own backyard, submitting him with a first round rear-naked choke.

Here are the rest of the results from this evenings Spike TV broadcasted event:

MAIN CARD

• Mark Munoz def. Chris Leben via TKO (corner’s stoppage) – Round 2, 5:00
• Renan Barao def. Brad Pickett via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 4:09
• Thiago Alves def. Papy Abedi via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 1, 3:32
• Anthony Perosh def. Cyrille Diabate via submission (rear-naked choke) – Round 2, 3:09
• Terry Etim def. Edward Faaloloto via submission (guillotine choke) – Round 1, 0:17

PRELIMINARY CARD

• John Maguire def. Justin Edwards via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)
• Philip De Fries def. Rob Broughton via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
• Michihiro Omigawa def. Jason Young via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
• Che Mills def. Chris Cope via TKO (knee) – Round 1, 0:40
• Chris Cariaso def. Vaughan Lee via split decision (28-29, 29-28, 29-28)

Tonight, the finalists for the bantamweight tournament have been decided.
In the co-main event of the evening, Brazilian spitfire Eduardo Dantas took on Ed West in what became a barnburner of a fight.

From the get-go, the two sluggers went tit-for-tat with powerful shots, with both men dropping one another on several occasions. The contest was tight knit throughout, though the judges saw the match in favor of Dantas, who took home a close split-decision victory.

Next, Olympian Alexis Vila took on submission ace Marcos Galvao in the headliner. Though Vila was the notably smaller fighter of the two, the American Top Team product was considered the heavy favorite heading into the bout, though Galvao proved his meddle as the bout wore on.

The two 135-pounders did little to live up to the expectations of the match, with Vila backpedaling for nearly the entire fifteen-minutes of action, while Galvao continued to stalk. Both men threw some punches, but nothing too telling. The Nova Unia product in Galvao began to pick up the tempo in the later stages of the bout, landing hard low kicks which seemingly had him edging the judges score cards.

However, in the end, Vila took home the controversial split-decision victory—a decision which was heavily panned by those in attendance, who vehemently booed the outcome.

In other action, Bellator 205-pound champion Christian M’Pumbu took on the well-traveled Travis Wiuff in a non-title affair. The UFC veteran outpointed the smaller M’Pumbu, wearing down the French striker with successive takedowns. In the end, Wiuff was awarded the just decision victory, making him the only man to defeat a Bellator champion in a special featured non-title bout.

The victory likely earned Wiuff a slot in the upcoming light heavyweight tournament in the near future.

Here are the full results from Bellator 55:

• Alexis Vila def. Marcos Galvao via split decision (27-30, 29-28, 29-28) – bantamweight tourney semifinal

Shlemenko, Vianna TKO their way to Bellator Middleweight Finals From Boardwalk Hall In Atlantic City Presented By Caesars
Bellator Bantamweight champion Zach Makovsky earns submission win

CHICAGO, Ill. (October 15, 2011) — Returning to Atlantic City for the second time this season, Bellator Fighting Championships brought the fans to their feet inside Boardwalk Hall as Alexander Shlemenko and Vitor Vianna advanced to the Finals of the Bellator Middleweight Tournament. Current Bellator Bantamweight Champion Zach Makovsky earned his 14th career victory with a submission win in his non-tile feature fight against Ryan Roberts while Jacob Kirwin took down the previously undefeated Nazare in surprising fashion LIVE on MTV2 and in commercial-free HD on EPIX2. The finals will take place on Saturday, November 19 at The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Florida.

“The middleweights have absolutely brought it this season,” Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney said. “Vitor Vianna, who is known for his submission game, has proven tonight that he has dynamite in his hands, and Alexander Shlemenko is absolutely one of the most exciting and explosive middleweights in the world. These finals will be an absolute magic at The Seminole Hard Rock on November 19.”

Alexander Shlemenko entered the night as the perceived favorite with Brian Rogers. The dynamic Russian entered the fight with over 40 victories and was the winner of Bellator’s last Middleweight Tournament. Rogers surprised many when he was able to knock Shlemenko to the mat with a punch and steal the first round, but Shlemenko stayed true to form nearly knocking Rogers senseless in the second round with a flurry of big knees to the head. It took exactly 2:30 for Shlemenko to finish Rogers in the second round as referee Keith Peterson decided to stop the fight and award a stoppage victory to Shlemenko.

It was a heartbreaking night for middleweight Bryan Baker who was eliminated for the second time in a Bellator Tournament. Just one win away from a possible rematch with Alexander Shlemenko in the finals, Baker was stunned early on by Vitor Vianna. While both exchanged blows early, it was Vianna that caught Baker with a crisp overhand right to drop “The Beast” and secure a Bellator Finals spot and a shot at a $100,000 payday.

Winning his second feature fight since becoming Bellator Bantamweight Champion, Zach Makovsky submitted Ryan Roberts in the opening round at Bellator 54 by way of a brilliant North-South Choke. Roberts thought he’d have an advantage over the champ since he was dropping down in weight for this fight but Makovsky’s stand up and ground game proved sharp as ever with “Fun Size” controlling the fight from the opening bell. After staggering Roberts with a stiff left cross near the end of the first round, Makovsky forced a takedown and set up a choke after making a beautiful guard pass into side control and then moving out in front for the finish. Roberts tapped from a north-south choke with just 12 seconds to go in the first round and Makovsky improved his record to 14-2.

In a stunning upset at lightweight, Jacob Kirwan improved his undefeated record to 7-0 and dealt rising star Rene Nazare his first career loss in 11 fights with a win by unanimous decision. Kirwan took Nazare down at will and was able to neutralize both his stand-up and his ground game by taking the fight to the floor and riding out rounds in half guard. Nazare attempted a kimura and guillotine from the bottom, but was unable to get out from under him without the referee standing them up. Kirwan won the takedown war and spent the majority of the fight in dominant position.

Next week on October 22, Bellator Fighting Championships will visit Yuma, Arizona, as the Bellator Bantamweight Tournament Semifinals take place at the Cocopah Resort and Casino. Marcos Galvao is scheduled to take on Alexis Vila who recently knocked out Bellator Featherweight Champion Joe Warren in his bantamweight debut and Ed “Wild” West will look to advance to the finals with a win over Eduardo Dantas who also made his way into the semis with a win by knockout in the quarterfinals.

UFC 136 Results: Edgar Retains Title With TKO Over Maynard
By Brian Lopez-Benchimol

Just a few hours removed from UFC 136, the mixed martial arts community have bared witness to an incredible night of fights, as well as an equally impressive amount of upsets.
In the headliner, Gray Maynard and champion Frankie Edgar battled for a third time in their highly anticipated rubber match. The first-round had shades of their second encounter, with “The Bully” rocking Edgar early with a right hand.

Maynard remembered the sins of his past and remained patient looking for his openings. The Ultimate Fighter veteran dropped Edgar just moments after with a staff right straight. Edgar survived once again and what ensued thereafter was nothing short of spectacular. Edgar had “The Answer” for Maynard in the later stages of their match, cutting corners and dipping in and out with fast combinations, beginning to swing the tide back into his favor.

Then, in the fourth round, Edgar clinched with Maynard in hopes for a takedown, but settled for right uppercuts, one that staggered the Xtreme Couture product to his knees. From there, it was all successive right hands for Edgar, who eventually floored Maynard and finished him off the incredible TKO finish. With the win, Edgar remains far and above the best in his class, defending his title for a second time while putting on the best performance of his career.

In other action, Jose Aldo edged out perennial contender Kenny Florian, defending his title for a fourth time. The two featherweights met in the co-main event of the evening, where Florian had some success in the first round, bringing Aldo to the mat while having him clinched against the fence. Aldo began to pour on the action in the later stages of the bout, taking Florian to the mat and mounting him on several occasions. Clean leg kicks and combinations on the feet eventually bloodied the face of Florian, who at the end of their five round affair, was clearly disappointed in his performance, as well he should be.

Maybe UFC president Dana White was right all along, as Florian clearly choked on the opportunity to obtain a title. The bout with Aldo marked the TUF vet’s third time unsuccessfully challenging for a world title, and at 35 years old, will likely be his last effort in doing so.

Here are the rest of the results from tonight’s full card:

MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)

Champ Frankie Edgar def. Gray Maynard via TKO (punches) – Round 4, 3:54 – retains lightweight title
Champ Jose Aldo def. Kenny Florian via unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) – retains featherweight title
Chael Sonnen def. Brian Stann via submission (arm-triangle choke) – Round 2, 3:51
Nam Phan def. Leonard Garcia via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)
Joe Lauzon def. Melvin Guillard via submission (rear-naked choke) Round 1, 0:47

PRELIMINARY CARD (Spike TV)

Demian Maia def. Jorge Santiago via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

UFC on Versus 6: Cruz Defeats “Mighty Mouse” To Retain Title
By Brian Lopez-Benchimol

A bantamweight title match headlined last night’s UFC on Versus 6 card, featuring champion Dominick Cruz looking to set a record for most successful title defenses in the 135-pound division when he took on Demetrious Johnson in the main-event of the evening.

Needless to say, Cruz was successful. He had a tough challenge on his hands in Johnson, whom was game throughout the bout, utilizing his speed to jump into the pocket and through bombs. However, in the end, it was the size of Cruz who proved to be his biggest asset, muscling down his smaller opponent on the ground.

Johnson had his moments, through the grappling of Cruz proved too effective, who mounted Johnson several times throughout the bout and twice sunk in a deep rear-naked choke, though “Mighty Mouses” toughed his way out of it.
In the end, Cruz was declared the winner by a unanimous decision, handing Johnson only his second loss in 16 fights, while defending his belt for a record fourth-time as the 135-pound champion.

Additionally, a heavyweight affair took co-headlining honors, as Stefan Struve met Pat Barry. In the early goings, Struve was holding his own on the feet, though Barry was chopping down the 6-foot-11 Struve with sharp low-kicks.
Struve appeared to be limping on his lead leg in the second-round, though Struve eventually was able to close the distance and secure a head lock on Barry. The former K-1 kickboxer showed his takedown defense, though ultimately left himself open on the ground when the long limbs of Struve were able to lock up a tight triangle choke.

The powerful Barry, who stands at just 5-foot-11, hoisted Struve high over his head—ala Quinton Jackson slamming Ricardo Arona—though “Skyscraper appeared un-phased. Eventually, Struve earned the tap and with it earned the evenings “Submission of the Night” award.
Here are the rest of the results in full:

MAIN CARD
• Champ Dominick Cruz def. Demetrious Johnson via unanimous decision (50-45, 49-46, 50-45) – retains bantamweight title
• Stefan Struve def. Pat Barry via submission (triangle choke) – Round 2, 3:22
• Anthony Johnson def. Charlie Brenneman via TKO (head kick) – Round 1, 2:49
• Matt Wiman def. Mac Danzig via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28)

• Walel Watson def. Joseph Sandoval via TKO (strikes) – Round 1, 1:17

Bellator 52: Hayes, Ivanov, Prindle and Sparks advance to heavyweight semi-finals
By Brian Lopez-Benchimol

Last night, Bellator 52, which took place at the L’Audberge du Lac Casino Resort in Lake Charles, Louisiana, played host to the first-round of the heavyweight tournament.

Neil Grove, a heavyweight juggernaut who made it through to the finals of the inaugural tourney opposite of eventual champion Cole Konrad, played a conservative and safe game opposite of his opponent Mike Hayes.
Grove, a knockout artist by definition, only began letting his hands go in the final frame, though it was too little too late, and Hayes was awarded the close decision win.

Top prospect Blagoi Ivanov, who defeated the prolific Fedor Emelianenko in the 2008 World Sambo Championships, took on The Ultimate Fighter season ten vet, Zak Jensen. Though Jensen is always game, he was outclassed against the undefeated Ivanov, whom eventually tapped Jensen out in the second-round with a guillotine choke, moving himself into the semi’s.

Eric Prindle also met with an equally challenging Abe Wagner, another product of TUF. It was a back and forth, tooth and nail kind of scrap, but in the end Prindle did enough to secure the decision win over the gritty Wagner, who will most likely make a return to the Bellator cage for his spirited performance.

Finally, undefeated Ron Spark kept his “O” intact when he took on Mark Holata, kicking off the action on the MTV2 broadcast. Once competing as high as super-heavyweight, Sparks showed the kind of power that has long drawn the attention of hardcore fans, knocking out Holata in just 84-seconds of the opening round with a vicious array of strikes.

Here are the night’s results in full:

Main Card

Heavyweight Quarterfinal bout: Neil Grove vs. Mike Hayes
Hayes defeated Grove via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
Heavyweight Quarterfinal bout: Blagoi Ivanov vs. Zak Jensen
Ivanov defeated Jensen via technical submission (guillotine choke) at 2:35 of round 2.
Heavyweight Quarterfinal bout: Eric Prindle vs. Abe Wagner
Prindle defeated Wagner via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28).
Heavyweight Quarterfinal bout: Mark Holata vs. Ron Sparks
Sparks defeated Holata via KO (punches) at 1:24 of round 1.

Local Feature Fights

CANTON, Ohio (September 24, 2011) – For the first time in his Bellator career, Joe Warren not only lost a fight but was finished as former Cuban Olympian Alexis Vila put an exclamation mark on the evening with a 64-second knockout victory over the self-proclaimed “Baddest Man on the Planet” in the main event at Bellator 51 LIVE from the Canton Civic Center on MTV2 and in commercial free HD on EPIX.

“Just spectacular performances by our 135ers,” said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. “These four semi-finalists are some of the best in the world. Vila and Dantas’ knockouts are two of the greatest knockouts I’ve seen all year. This division is stacked and I cannot wait for October 22nd in Arizona. These semi’s will be magic.”

Vila had his raised high inside the Canton Civic Center after putting Warren to sleep with a fierce left hook after he rocked the featherweight champion with a powerful right hand on the previous exchange. The win sent a statement to the remaining competitors vying for Bellator Bantamweight Champion Zack Makovsky’s title, that Vila isn’t just some Olympic wrestler – he’s a 135-pound knockout artist.

“There’s nobody that can stop me from becoming the next Bellator Bantamweight World Champion,” Vila said. “I feel like the belt is already mine. I just have to beat up a few guys before I get to take it home.”
Those guys he’s referring too are Marcos Galvao, Eduardo Dantas and tournament veteran Ed West, who all walked away with wins at Bellator 51 in Canton.

West outlasted Luis Nogueira who only tried to tie him up in a clinch for most the fight. Once West kept his distance and fought his fight from the outside he was able to pick apart Nogueira with dazzling kicks and a superior jab-cross combination.

Fighting not only to advance to the semis but also looking for a chance at redemption against Warren were Galvao and former WEC veteran Chase Beebe. The first round of this fight was extremely back and forth with both fighters escaping multiple submissions and getting their fair share of punches in, but as the fight progressed Galvao gained the edge on the ground and was able box his way to a victory in the third and final round. Cardio seemed to be a big factor in this fight and Galvao walked away with the win by split decision.

Wilson Reis was eliminated from the tournament once again in his first attempt at 135 pounds, but big things were expected from his opponent, Eduardo Dantas, when he showed up with world champion Jose Aldo and Marlon Sandro in his corner. Dantas earned a knockout as exciting as Vila’s when he capitalized on a kick caught by Reis in the opening round. Reis wouldn’t let go of the leg at first and looked to set up a takedown, but when Dantas took his leg back and Reis began to retreat to get outside his striking distance, Dantas sprinted toward him and laid him out flat with a knockout by flying knee.

Bellator 52 takes will take place at the L’Auberge Du Lac Casino in Lake Charles, LA, on Saturday, October 1. This event is scheduled to kick off the second Bellator Heavyweight World Championship Tournament which includes heavyweights Mike Hayes, Neil Grove, Blagoi Ivanov, Thiago Santos, Abe Wagner, Eric Prindle, Mark Holata and Ron Sparks.

Lozano, Saunders, Santos and Lima Advance to Welterweight Semifinals at Bellator 49 from Caesars Atlantic City from Caesars Atlantic City.

CHICAGO, Ill. (September 10, 2011) — Returning to the boardwalk to open Bellator’s highly-anticipated fifth season, the promotion hosted an explosive night of fights as the Season 5 Welterweight Tournament kicked off inside a packed house at Caesars. The first leg of the eight-man tournament aired LIVE on MTV2 and in HD on EPIX as Chris Lozano, Ben Saunders, Luis Santos and Douglas Lima all punched their tickets to the Welterweight Semifinals. The next round will feature Lima vs. Lozano and Saunders vs. Santos.

In the night’s main event, Lozano and Weedman went right at each other from the start, but it was Weedman who knocked down Lozano during the first exchange. Weedman earned a knockdown and a slam in the first round, but Lozano owned the next ten minutes with heavy-handed combinations and a solid ground game. Lozano took over the fight and never looked back, winning by unanimous decision, 29-28, on all three judges’ scorecards.

“That was a war,” said Lozano after defeating Weedman. “I was ready for a war, and Brent brought it, so I have to thank him for the toughest fight of my life.”
Ben “Killa-B” Saunders made quite a statement in his Bellator debut against Matt Lee, but his TKO win at Bellator 49 sent a bigger statement to opposing welterweights as it moved him one step closer to a tournament championship and a world title shot.
Saunders dominated his battle with Chris Cisneros, advancing on his feet as well as the ground. He gained full mount on his opponent early in their fight and never stopped moving forward, nearly ending the match in the first round with a triangle choke. However, once he applied a Muay Thai clinch to Cisneros in the third and final round, it took just 29 seconds and three-to-four hard knees to the head and body to force an end to their fight by TKO.
“I didn’t get to watch the other fights because I was too busy getting in the zone,” Saunders said. “But I’m looking forward to getting through the next round and on to the finals so I can bring back one of my best weapons,” Saunders said while he waived his elbow at the crowd.

Fan favorite Dan “The Handler” Hornbuckle entered his third Bellator Welterweight Tournament and while he may have made it to the finals opposite Ben Askren his first time around, the last two seasons he hasn’t made it out of the quarterfinals. This time it was Luis Santos standing in his way and while Hornbuckle may be a great striker and an excellent submission specialist, Santos had his number. He out-struck Hornbuckle on his feet while setting up plenty of kicks with an offensive barrage. Santos also took “The Handler” to the mat more than once to earn a unanimous decision and his 50th career victory. Santos looks to pose big problems for the remaining welterweights in this eight-man tournament.

Douglas Lima was victorious in his Bellator debut as he defeated Steve Carl by unanimous decision in the quarterfinals. Carl was in it until the very end, attempting a triangle in the first round and finishing the third on top, but Lima dictated the pace of the fight. He out-struck Carl and took him down often spending the majority of each round on top and in dominant position.

The final four in this Tournament are hugely talented fighters and any one of the four could win this whole thing,” said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. “The Lozano-Weedman fight was really spectacular and Saunders looked great as well. I can’t wait to see these guys back in the cage on October 8th.”
Bellator also announced a highly anticipated fight between long time UFC veteran Kurt Pellegrino and Patricky Pitbull, which will take at Bellator 59 back at Caesars on November 26th.

UFC 134 RIO took place tonight in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, and the main event went as expected with Anderson Silva putting on a striking clinic against a very overwhelmed Yushin Okami. The fight was stopped via TKO (strikes) – Round 2, 2:04 and The Champ retained his UFC middleweight title.

Mauricio “Shogun” Rua def. Forrest Griffin in a short but explosive fight for Shogun. Rua caught Griffin with a shot staggering him, and Rua unleashes a flurry that sends Griffin to the mat, Griffin trying to recover but Rua’s aggressiveness was too much for him. A few hammer-fists see Griffin look to lose consciousness, and a few extra hots also find their mark. Mauricio “Shogun” Rua def. Forrest Griffin via TKO (punches) – Round 1, 1:53.
