This time it’s personal as Prindle faces Santos for the Heavyweight Tournament Championship

CHICAGO, Ill. (January 27, 2011) — Bellator Fighting Championships returns to the Bayou State on Friday, March 16 for Bellator 61 live from Bossier City at the Horseshoe Riverdome. The night will feature the long awaited rematch between “The American Solider” Eric Prindle (@EricPrindleMMA) and “The Big Monster” Thiago Santos (@BigMonsterMMA) to determine a winner from last season’s heavyweight tournament, as well a host of local talent from the Louisiana area.

Tickets for the event are now on sale and can be purchased online at Riverdome.com, by phone at 888-512-SHOW (7469) or by visiting The Gift Horse at Horseshoe Bossier City Casino. Tickets are priced from $25-$75. The event will also be broadcast LIVE starting at 7 p.m. CST on MTV2 and in commercial-free HD on EPIX. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. CST, with the first fight scheduled for 6 p.m. CST. The preliminary card, featuring the area’s top local talent will be streamed LIVE and FREE around the world on Spike.com starting at 6 p.m. CST.

“Louisiana’s been an amazing home to Bellator.  Our last two Louisiana events we’re spectacular sell outs, so bringing Bellator to Bossier City was an easy decision to make,” said Bellator Chairman & CEO Bjorn Rebney. “This Prindle-Santos fight has war written all over it and both of these guys have taken this huge fight very personally. March 16 should be a great night.”

Prindle meets Santos after last season’s Heavyweight Finals were declared a no contest as Santos delivered what was ruled an accidental illegal blow to the groin of Eric Prindle, which eventually halted the fight. The two will square off to determine who will earn the right to face current Bellator Heavyweight Champion Cole Konrad(@ColeKonradMMA).

The night will also feature the quarterfinals of the Bellator Season 6 Middleweight Tournament. UFC veteran Maiquel “Big Rig” Falcao (@Falcaomma) will make his Bellator debut against the dominant Norman Paraisy. Falcao enters Bellator with an astonishing 23 knockouts to his record and will look to keep that trend intact at Bellator 61.

In a matchup worthy of a Middleweight title fight, Brian “The Predator” Rogers (@Brogthepredator) battles Brazilian ace Vitor Vianna (@VitorVianna) for a spot in the semifinals. For Rogers, the Ohio native wants to build off last season’s semifinals appearance and punch his ticket to a guaranteed title shot. Vianna put up a tremendous fight against eventual Middleweight Tournament Champion Alexander Shlemenko(@StormShlemenko) and is eager for another long tournament run.

Entering Bellator on a 14-fight win streak, explosive Russian Vyacheslav “Slava” Vasilevsky (@SlavaVasilevsky) will be making his U.S. debut in a fight with Victor O’ Donnell (@Victor_ODonnell). One of the most promising prospects in the world, “Slava” joins Bellator as two-time Sambo World Champion and will look to make his mark with Bellator.

Giva “The Arm Collector” Santana (@GivaSantana) is back with Bellator and will be gunning for another victim when he takes on Bruno Santos. Always looking for the armbar, Santana has tapped 13 of his 17 career opponents with the hold.

“A lot of fighters like to go out there and try to knock their opponents out as soon as they can, and that’s the same way I am with my submissions,” Santana said. “For me, to tap a guy out is the same feeling as the knockout. When a punch lands and you know you knocked your opponent out, I feel the same feeling when I lock up a submission on my opponent. I know right away that he’s going to tap, and it’s a great feeling.”

Watch the UFC on FOX: Evans vs. Davis weigh-in live Friday, January 27 5 pm ET/              

Tuff-N-Uff is proud to announce that UFC Veteran Frank Trigg will join John Morgan from Mmajunkie.com to call the action live tomorrow night from South Point Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada for “Tuff-N-Uff: Beauties, Beasts and Beers.” The event will air live on Blackbelt Television starting at 8pm PST/11pm EST.

According to Frank Trigg, “I’m definitely looking forward to calling the action at the Tuff-N-Uff event this Friday night with John Morgan. The card is stacked with competitive fights in both the men’s and women’s divisions. It’s going to be a great night of fights! Tune in to watch the live MMA action on Blackbelt TV.”

The event will feature six beauties in a trio of female fights, 18 beasts competing in nine men’s MMA contests and a sampling of six different beers, which will be part of a complimentary sampling menu available to all ticket holders. The promotion will also be hosting an official “Beauties, Beasts and Beers” pre-party, featuring live music and the start of the evening’s beer tasting.

The night’s featured female fight pits Reign Training Center’s Rachael Cummins (0-1) against Legends MMA product Kristi Lopez (1-0), who in February earned a TKO win in her amateur MMA debut. Fans can expect an all-out war when these ladies face off in the cage.

The night’s lineup of “Beasts” is headlined by a featherweight title fight as once-beaten champion Cesar Campos (9-1) takes on hard-hitting 10th Planet Riverside product Trace Gray (8-2). Campos, a five-time Tuff-N-Uff veteran, went 8-0 in 2011 and looks primed for a successful professional career, but Gray – the current California Amateur Mixed Martial Arts Organization (CAMO) lightweight state champion – will certainly provide a stern test, as evidenced by his previous four hard-fought wins under the Tuff-N-Uff banner.

In addition to the night’s featured contests, a full lineup of aspiring amateur fighters from some of the world’s top academies – including 10th Planet Riverside, Cascao Jiu-Jitsu, Legends MMA, Team Beastman, Throwdown, Wand Fight Team and Xtreme Couture – will compete at Tuff-N-Uff’s Jan. 27 event. The full fight card is available for viewing at www.TuffNUff.net.

Tickets for “Tuff-N-Uff: Beauties, Beasts and Beers” start at just $25 and can be purchased by calling the South Point Arena Box Office at 702-797-8055at or online at www.SouthPointArena.com and www.TuffNUff.net. The pre-party kicks off on Jan. 27 at 6 p.m. PT local time.

UFC on FOX tripleheader – which will be broadcast live from the sold-out United Center in Chicago – The six main card fighters had the following to say…

Rashad Evans, UFC light heavyweight

“Davis is intimidated. I’ve seen him around and he’s not looking too confident. He’s not ready for this level, and he knows it. He’s coming to put up a good show, go back down a level, and come back again in a year or two. He’s not coming to take it to me, but I am gonna’ take it to him. After I had my year off (with injury) I came back with the attitude of never, ever leaving it up to the judges and just throwing hands all the time. That’s the way my career is going to go, and that’s how I am going to.

Phil is just a nice guy. He’s not a fighter. He’s an athlete, a great athlete, but not a fighter. He has no killer instinct for this and he’s got no experience at this level. He’s never fought at heavyweight like I had to (in TUF 2) to get into the UFC. He didn’t get punched by Chuck Liddell and Rampage Jackson like I did. He’s not had to dig deep at all.

He’s in deep water, and I’m the shark.”

Phil Davis, UFC light heavyweight

“He’s delusional. If he thinks he’s going to out-wrestle or intimidate me, he’s in for a shock on Saturday night. I’ve been working hard for this; I can’t wait to get back into the Octagon after a layoff. He’s not as good as he thinks he is, and I am better than he thinks I am. He thinks he’s a better wrestler than me, crazy. I would beat him 100 times out of 100. He was something like .500 in won/losses in wrestling. I was a champion; he just competed.

Yes, I have only nine pro MMA fights but the inexperience thing isn’t an issue. I am less experienced than every single guy I’ve faced, and I am unbeaten. I am experienced at winning, and that’s what really matters, and I’m going to experience winning again on FOX.”

Chael Sonnen, UFC middleweight

“I hate terms like ‘hype’ and ‘trash-talk’ because I don’t do that. I never say anything I don’t mean and I’m not going to insult a guy I have no problem with. But, that said, Bisping is a jerk and I’m going to finish him faster than he can devour a Bovril and meatpie. I am the best fighter in the world. He thinks he can beat me, I think I can beat him and we are going to see who is right in the only debating forum that matters – the UFC Octagon.

I came to Chicago to do Michael Bisping a lot of physical harm. I don’t come here to ‘talk trash’ because that’s not something I do.

When this fight was announced, over 2 million extra tickets were demanded by the fans. This is the real main event, the biggest fight of all time.”

Michael Bisping, UFC middleweight

“I know some fans are disappointed that there hasn’t been eight weeks of zingers between us and, to be honest, I think we would have got into it if this fight had been made two months ago. But right now, both of us had to focus on getting ready for a new opponent – and in his case a more dangerous opponent in me – on a week’s notice. I never talk trash unless someone has disrespected me and, to be honest, Chael has been very complimentary of me.

Chael and I have thrown a few little jokes here and there but that’s because we’ve both got a sense of humor. And he’ll need that sense of humor after he goes to the hospital on Saturday night just like seven of my last eight opponents have. I am under no illusions – I am getting kicked, punched, elbowed and taken down by Chael but he’s getting punched, kicked, kneed, elbowed and knocked out in return. It will be a nasty, nasty war, but I’m beating him up and winning this fight. I am sure I will be taken down, but he’s going to have to worry about being submitted each time he does that. He won’t be able to hold me down and I know I can pick him apart standing.

“It is a great fight, I am sure we are both going to look like car-crash victims on Sunday AM. Never mind the trashtalk, we can both do that in our sleep, just tune in on FOX and watch the fight of the year. I may have only been told about this fight last Tuesday, but I have trained my arse off since I was eight years old. I am going to make the oddsmakers look like fools; I am winning this fight.”

Demian Maia, UFC middleweight

“I was disappointed to hear my fight with Bisping was off, but am happy to still be on the card on FOX. I’m ready to turn a negative into a positive, to control the part I can control, which is winning. A win over Bisping would have put me back in the world title picture, but Weidman is a dangerous young fighter and he knows a win over me put him in a great position.

Bisping actually apologized to me for taking the Sonnen fight, but I completely understand. I appreciated him saying that, but this is what we do and the sport we are in. Now I can’t think about Bisping. I have to think about Chris Weidman. I don’t know if it is possible for Weidman to be 100% fit after taking the fight at such short notice. I’m not sure, but I have to go in thinking with the mindset that he is 100%.

He is very dangerous, and I guess that I would rather fight him now than after he gets even better and more experienced. For sure, he will be very motivated. I am not going to lose at this stage though; I have worked too hard and expect a submission after a tough fight.”

Chris Weidman, UFC middleweight

“Taking the fight at a week’s notice wasn’t all that had a decision. I have an opportunity to gain a lot of recognition and get myself up to where I want to be. I was just about to eat a load of waffles when I got the call… I threw those waffles away. There was no chance I was going to pass this up, I want to get into the top five and here’s my chance. You only live once. I didn’t want to sit at home and watch some other guy fight on FOX in an opportunity I already had passed up.

I’m not worried about stepping up at all. I have a lot of respect for Demian’s jiu-jitsu, but if we go to the ground, I’m confident and excited to prove I can hang with my own BJJ. He’s going to have a lot to worry about, too, in this fight. I’m not the guy who’s going to be starstruck just because of the stage or the fact I am stepping up to this level. I believe in myself and I think I can go in there and submit him or stop him.”

UFC on FOX emanates live from the United Center, Chicago at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Saturday night. Six undercard bouts will be broadcast live on FUEL TV from 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.

All bouts are live and subject to change.

Liam Neeson leads an unruly group of oil-rig roughnecks when their plane crashes into the remote Alaskan wilderness. Battling mortal injuries and merciless weather, the survivors have only a few days to escape the icy elements — and a vicious pack of rogue wolves on the hunt — before their time runs out.

DONALD TRUMP, 50-CENT, ICE CUBE, DR. J AND JIMY HETTES?

AZAD WANTS UFC FIGHTERS AND SUPPORTERS TO BE THEIR NEXT FANS

New York, NY (USA): Azad Watches, fine watch-maker, is all about high quality. With celebrities such as Donald Trump, Eva Longoria, “Dr. J” Julius Erving, Ice Cube, Tony Bennett, and Piers Morgan having sported their time-pieces, Azad recently brought its brand of quality into the MMA world when it sponsored UFC fighters Nick Pace, Jimy Hettes and Mike Massenzio . In addition, the company has signed on to become a main advertising sponsor of the first-ever full-length, full-color MMA comic book, “Joe Palooka.”

In short, the New York-based watchmaker has jumped head-first into the fight world, and wants MMA fans to know that those looking for a quality watch need look no further than Azad.

“We’ve been able to connect with football players and other sports celebrities, but we figure MMA is a great sport to get into,” says Victor Rodriguez, Azad Watches’ Co-Owner. “It has lots of excitement, and it’s the fastest-growing sport in the world. “We’re exciting and fast growing too, so the UFC is a perfect fit for Azad.”

Azad Watches have also been worn by top celebrities such as Barry Bonds, Cedric the Entertainer, Lil’ Wayne, Mickey Rourke, and many others. Before long, Azad plans on being able to add MMA fighters and personalities to their list of well-known customers.

“You know, we just want to be known as one of the top-notch watch lines out there. We’re focused on showing the quality of the watches. That’s what we’re more focused on now,” states Rodriguez. “We did that in the entertainment world, and if we just do the same thing in the fight world, we’re confident that we’ll start seeing Azad Watches at UFC events all over the world.”

Along with its UFC sponsorships, Azad has hooked up with “Joe Palooka.” This pact provides both brands with reach into other parts of the business world, and will help expand their respective customer bases.

“It’s a good feeling to know that we made it into a comic book of this quality. We’re growing as fast as the sport of MMA, it seems. We’ve only been around for three years, and it’s awesome to see everything that’s happening.

“The future is bright for both us and Palooka,” Rodriguez concludes. “We feel very confident in our partnerships, and can’t wait to see where they take us as a brand.”

Card to feature eleven action-packed bouts in all

Edmonton, Alberta (Canada): Aggression MMA, one of the very best fight promotions in Canada, today revealed the full fight card for its upcoming AMMA 9 event, which is slated to hit the Shaw Conference Centre on Saturday, February 11^th in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. In the two co-main events, top Canadian welterweight Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford will take on the challenge of the very talented and very dangerous Tyson “The Man of” Steele. In the other feature bout, rising Canadian fight star Tim Chemelli will look to add UFC veteran Victor Valimaki to his list of victims. Also making his return to Aggression MMA will be another top young Canadian 170-pounder in Sheldon Westcott. In addition, AMMA 9 will feature well-known Canadian competitors Rio Wells, “Big Bad” Stephen Beaumont, and Markhaile “Showtime” Wedderburn.

In short, this card is stacked! Here is the full fight card:

Co-Main Events

Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford vs. Tyson “The Man of” Steele

Victor “The Matrix” Valimaki vs. Tim Chemelli

Main Card

Sheldon Westcott vs. Dave Cochran

Stephan Beaumont vs. Nick Heynan

Luke Harris vs. Elliot Duff

Greg Welsh vs. matt Bagshaw

Chase Dagenhardt vs. Jarod McComb

Rio Wells vs. Markhaile Wedderburn

Undercard

Sy Jewett vs. Sarah Moraz

KB Bhullar vs. Simon Shirt

Paulo Azambuja vs. Adrian Cardinal

This event will take place at the Shaw Conference Center on Saturday, February 11^th. Tickets are available over the phone at (780) 426-SOLD, or online at www.TNTTickets.ca. Canadian fight fans won’t want to miss this incredible event!

“What a stacked card ‘AMMA 9’ has turned out to be,” stated Aggression MMA Co-Owner Moin Mirza. “With the talent we’ve been able to bring in for this event, I would feel comfortable putting this card up against just about any other event here in Canada.”

Ryan “The Real Deal” Ford (16-4) is one of the top MMA stars in Canada. Ford was upset by David Hulett in his last bout, but before that defeat, he had won four straight fights, as well as eight of his last nine, finishing all his victims on either punches or submissions. In 2011 alone, he conquered Johnny Davis, former UFC welterweight contender Karo Parisyan, and fellow top Canadian Nick Hinchliffe in succession. Now looking to rebound from the Hulett loss, “The Real Deal” is motivated with a burning desire to show the fight world he truly is the next elite Canadian fighter.

Ford faces no easy task in his return bout, as he will step in the cage with rising star Tyson “The Man of” Steele (8-1). Also rumored to be on the radar of the UFC, Steele is one of the most exciting Canadian competitors on the circuit. Having never been to a decision, Steele has submitted seven of his eight victims, and knocked out the other one. A native of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the 6-foot tall Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu specialist is ready to add “The Real Deal” to his list of victims and make a huge splash in the process.

“This is a huge opportunity for me, and I am grateful to Aggression for making it happen,” says “The Man of” Steele. “I want to make it to the UFC, and this could be the fight that puts me one step closer to the call that every fighter dreams of. I know what I have to do to get there, and that’s take on the best and beat the best. Unfortunately for Ryan Ford, he’s put himself right in my path, and I’ve got to go through him.”

Edmonton, Alberta native and local favorite Victor “The Matrix” Valimaki (16-8), a former holder of the TFC Light Heavyweight Championship, will look to right the ship as he collides with another rising Canadian star in Tim Chemelli (8-1). A former UFC fighter, “The Matrix” is going through a rough streak in his career, but is determined to get back in the win column at the expense of his young foe. Valimaki holds victories over MMA legend Dan “The Beast” Severn, and UFC veterans Vernon “Tiger” White and Jason “Dooms” Day. Chemelli, a member of Team Sparta and a native of Alberta, has finished all eight of his opponents in his victories, but is coming off his first career loss. The defeat came at Aggression: “Unfinished Business” last year against Nick Penner. Now this finishing machine will look to come back strong and grab victory against a UFC vet in Valimaki.

Also competing on the card will be tough Canadians Stephan Beaumont, who is undefeated at 4-0, and strong Muay Thai fighter Markhaile “Showtime” Wedderburn will put their skill sets on display once again for the Aggression fans.
