Fight Night Results, Quotes & Photos for Bellator FIGHT NIGHT RESULTS, QUOTES & PHOTOS FOR BELLATOR MMA 262: VELASQUEZ VS. KIELHOLTZ Juliana Velasquez: “I think I would be clinching a bit more, her striking didn’t surprise me, but I felt that I did enough to retain the title.” “I beat her with my jab, if you look at her face, it’s messed up, if you look at mine, my face is fine. I think people in the audience favor her because she has a kickboxing style and I counter, but I think it was my boxing that was the difference tonight.” “When I come in here, I don’t think of myself as a champion, I think of myself as someone who needs to earn the belt and tonight I felt that I did that.” #5–Tyrell Fortune (11-1, 1 NC) defeated #7-Matt Mitrione (13-9, 1 NC) via submission (strikes) at 1:45 of round one Tyrell Fortune: “I feel great coming out of the fight. He stepped forward so I went for the shot instead of throwing the punch and I guess I made contact with my head. Besides that I was running through him for the takedown. As you saw, I finished on top, and the fight went from there. “I didn’t feel it (the clash of heads), I can only go off of what he was saying at the time. Like I said, I was just looking to get on top and continue to fight so I didn’t really know what else to do. I thought if there was a contact that the ref would have saw and we would have stopped that’s why I paused for a second on top of him. I didn’t go right to punching. Once the ref said to continue, I was continuing to fight. “I want Tim Johnson. I don’t want a title shot. I’d rather have Tim Johnson first. That’s really the only fight I’ve been training for since that loss. To me, with him taking that loss (against Valentin Moldavsky) and me getting this win, it should line us right up… I’m gonna’ try to knock his a– out just like he did me.” Matheus Mattos (13-2-1) defeated Cee Jay Hamilton (15-9) via TKO (strikes) at 1:33 of round two Matheus Mattos: “He’s a wrestler. So, he could have done the boring game and taken me down. But he chose to go for the striking. Fortunately, he did it because it was a beautiful knockout. If Bellator could send more strikers to me, then they would be welcomed.” “I feel great, perfectly strong. But I felt my knee go ‘thwack.’ And I stopped moving a lot. I didn’t do much footwork. I knew this was going to be on my hands, because my leg was painful. Hopefully, everything went well. “My two losses were to two of the best in the world. So, I’ve been fighting at a high level a long time and I’m prepared for everyone. They can see that this fight welcomed me to Bellator, and now they know me. They know Matheus Mattos is a striker and he’s coming for us. “I’m in my prime now so I’m prepared for everyone.” #2–Arlene Blencowe (14-8) defeated Dayana Silva (9-6) via TKO (punches) at 1:00 of round three Arlene Blencowe: “I feel great. I want to give a shout out to my kids at home. I’ve been away from home for nine weeks and it’s the longest I’ve ever been without my kids. So, this win is for you.” “I was just trying to gauge my distance. It was starting to be a little bit of a slow fight, so sorry about that fans. I could hear you yelling. But I was determined to keep my pace and not rush into anything. We knew that she swung with power and that the overhand right and the left hook came pretty quick. We’ve been working a lot on kicks, and I’m going to have a lot of bruises tomorrow. And hopefully her calves will be sore too.” #5-Johnny Eblen (9-0) defeated Travis Davis (10-5) via unanimous decision (30-27, 30-26, 30-26) Johnny Eblen: “My coaches when I came back to the corner told me not to brawl. So, I took their advice and I thought I wrestled smart.” “He was talking s— saying, ‘Hey, let’s brawl in the corner.’ I’m like, ‘Bro, that’s stupid.’ That’s why you’re not where I’m at. Because you don’t fight smart. You’re trying to come out here and brawl. You can do that all you want, but you’re not going to be a world champion like me.” Preliminary Card: Said Sowma (7-2) defeated Ronny Markes (19-9) via KO (punches) at 1:09 of round one Cody Law (4-0) defeated Theodore Macuka (1-1) via TKO (punches) at 1:54 of round one Diana Avsaragova (4-0) defeated Gabriella Gulfin (2-3) via split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) Adil Benjilany (6-3, 1 NC) defeated Johnny Soto (4-2) via unanimous decision (29-28, 29-28, 29-28) Charlie Campbell (4-1) defeated Nicholas Giulietti (2-2) via TKO (punches) at 1:30 of round two Please visit Bellator.com for additional information.

  • Fightcoin Pitch Deck
    1. Vision and value proposition FightCoin is where crypto meets combat sports. 2. The problem A) Millions of people around the world lack the support and the resources that they need to train or compete in martial arts or combat sports. B) There is no crypto ecosystem designed specifically for the millions of fight fans, fighters and martial artists. Many powerful blockchain technologies have not been effectively introduced to the combat sports industry. 3. The solution The solution is simple: - Build an extensive crypto ecosystem designed to engage fighters and fight fans, powered by FightCoin. - Encourage massive adoption by bringing the biggest names in combat sports into the FightCoin holding team. - Place a fee on all buy orders that directly funds the disadvantaged people of the world in fighting for their dreams through martial arts. 4. FightCoin Ecosystem The ecosystem will include: ● FightGame Studios: Our game studio will develop and release fight based games integrating blockchain technology. We begin with a semi-turn-based, 2D fighter, browser game with collectable NFTs. Early release. This game, “Legends of the Fight” is connected to a large metaverse, an open world where players can buy land, build fight gyms, train their fighters (upgrade NFTs) , and adventure in search of fights and collect new fighters (NFTs). The open world will have shops, events / tournaments, guilds (federations). It is designed to be an in-depth “Play to earn” game. Pay to earn is trending highly as a paradigm shift in gaming, where players earn more, the more they play and the better they play. Earning is achieved through collecting NFTs, upgrading NFTs (increasing value for sale on the market) and various reward systems.
