"Rampeydzh" Jackson stopped in first round Joy Beltran, "Pitbull" Freyra won the Grand Prix in semi-lightweight; all results of the Bellator 108 tournament.
Today to Atlantic City, the State of New Jersey, the USA, the Bellator 108 tournament, presented to the audience some bright duels took place.
For the Russian fans title fight in heavy weight between the champion divizionaaleksandry Volkov and the applicant on titulvitaliy Minakov (Fight Nights Team) became the main event of evening, certainly. One waited that the duel will be tightened also the Wolves, having experience of pyatiraundovy fights and good endurance, will manage to win the decision or ahead of schedule in late rounds. Others predicted a fast victory to Vitaly possessing gun blow and excellent wrestling bekgrundy – and the last were right.
Minakov surely worked with the first number, attacking in a rack and клинчуя at a grid. Having tried to transfer a duel to orchestra seats, Vitaly "dropped" Volkov on himself, but right there turned over and took a position from above. Alexander successfully knitted Minakov's hands, without giving that opportunity for amplitude attacks, and the referee lifted fighters in a rack. It seemed, it on a hand to Volkov who immediately ran an excellent series of blows hands and feet; but Minakov was tried on and a powerful uppercut sent "Drago" to a knock-down. Having rushed on a dobivaniye, Vitaly struck some exact blows, and the fight referee Dan Miragliotta stopped a duel.
The stop seemed to much disputable as Wolves it continued to be protected and at the time of referee intervention even pushed away the rival feet. However it is impossible to deny that regardless of it Vitaly Minakov carried out an excellent duel, having surely selected a belt of the champion at Alexander Volkov.
We congratulate Vitaly on a victory and we thank both fighters for a bright duel. Probably, today in Bellator there were "Keyn Velasquez and Junior Dos Santos", and we sincerely hope that Wolves (which selflessly battled and which couldn't be reproached) the Grand Prix again will win and will carry out a revenge with Minakov. For now Vitaly is waited by small rest and a new call - fight with the veteran of UFC Cheyky Kongo.
Besides, generally to the card of tournament three more duels took place. Patricio "Pit bull terrier" to Freyra in the ending of the Grand Prix of semi-easily scales skillfully tore to pieces Justin Vilkoksa, having won fight by a technical knockout and having received the treasured check for $100,000. Now to Freyra waits the duel for a title with the new champion of a division Daniel Straus .
The ex-applicant for a title Marcos Galvao without options won against Tom Makkenn the easiest weight.
In the main fight of evening the expensive veteran of MMA Kuinton of "Rampeydzh" Jackson successfully debuted in octagon a victory over the Mexican fan of the cabin Dzhoi Beltranom. "Meksikyyushener" from first seconds rode out the bicycle and any time competently left from fight with "Rampeydzh", however at the end of a round allowed to involve itself in exchange and was knocked out one second prior to a gong.
After Kuinton's fight in a characteristic manner told those who yet didn't understand that it was improbably spectacular duel and that "it returned". All this, including Jackson's ordinary-looking performance, naturally, looked as the three-cheap farce, and "Rampeydzh" reminded one domestic character who too declared half a year ago that "returned", and all of us know now, where exactly.
It is necessary to hope that Bellator will manage to beat off the investments before this "the old horse", not holding in a framework of the weight category, will lay down across a furrow and will ask a donut.
