MVP VS. Yamauchi Leads Additions to Bellator 292 on March 10

0

The four-fight main card for BELLATOR MMA’s massive return to the SAP Center at San Jose on Friday, March 10 is now complete with the addition of a top-ten matchup pitting former title challenger and No.2-ranked Michael “Venom” Page (20-2) against No. 5-ranked Goiti Yamauchi (28-5) during the main card of BELLATOR 292: Nurmagomedov vs. Henderson. The main card of BELLATOR 292 will air LIVE in the U.S. on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. Tickets for the event are currently on sale and can be purchased at Ticketmaster.com or Bellator.com.

The massive welterweight scrap joins a must-see main card that already features the launch of the highly anticipated, one-million-dollar BELLATOR Lightweight World Grand Prix, where in the main event, newly crowned Lightweight World Champion and No. 7 pound-for-pound talent Usman Nurmagomedov (16-0) will defend his belt against former UFC Lightweight Champion and No. 3-ranked Benson Henderson (30-11) Meanwhile, another thrilling opening round contest serves as the co-main event, as No. 2-ranked knockout artist Tofiq Musayev (20-4) clashes with No. 4-ranked Alexander Shabliy (22-3). A heavyweight tilt between former interim champion and No. 1-ranked Valentin Moldavsky (11-2, 1 NC) versus No. 2-ranked Linton Vassell (23-8) rounds out the top of the evening’s docket.

In addition, the preliminary card is now complete with the addition of a clash between two offensive-minded light heavyweights when Lithuania’s Julius Anglickas (10-3) takes on the pride of Turkmenistan, Dovletdzhan Yagshimuradov (19-7-1). The prelims will also see the return of undefeated Bobby Seronio III (3-0) take on undefeated Alberto Garcia (2-0) at bantamweight. Rounding out the newly announced preliminary action, a 135-pound contest pitting Enrique Barzola (18-7-2) against Erik Perez (20-8) has been confirmed, as well as a middleweight scrap between Khalid Murtazaliev (15-3) against San Jose’s Tony Johnson (9-3) and a lightweight affair featuring Islam Mamedov (22-2-1) against undefeated Shamil Nikaev (10-0, 1 NC).

The preliminary contests will air live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel, and Pluto TV. 

Fresh off a razor-thin split decision defeat to now-interim BELLATOR titleholder Logan Storley, U.K. star and No. 2-ranked Michael ‘Venom’ Pagewill make his stateside return on March 10 when he faces Goiti Yamauchi in a matchup of top-5 contenders that promises to be one of the most exciting fights of BELLATOR MMA’s 2023 campaign. The 35-year-old Londoner, whom manybelieved should have had his hand raised as the winner of the interim title, has won eight of his last ten bouts — including five stoppages due to strikes and the avenging of his 2019 loss to Douglas Lima. Page owns one of the sport’s most entertaining highlight reels from his win over Evangelista Cyborg, and the accomplished kickboxer will look to punch his ticket back to a championship opportunity by defeating his Brazilian foe on the SHOWTIME-televised main card of BELLATOR 292 at the SAP Center in San Jose.

Looking to continue his undefeated run at welterweight and keep his three-fight win — and finish — streak intact, No. 5-ranked contender Goiti Yamauchi will take on ‘MVP’ in one of BELLATOR 292‘s marquee main card matchups. The 30-year-old Brazilian is firmly in his prime, rattling off eight wins in his last ten outings and adding such names as Neiman Gracie, Chris Gonzalez, Daron Cruickshank, Daniel Weichel, and Levan Chokheli to his burgeoning résumé. Yamauchi’s BELLATOR credentials are well-established: he is the first fighter in promotional history to earn wins and stoppages in three weight classes, and he stands alone atop the BELLATOR record books with the most submission wins in company history (9). Now ranked inside the top 5 at 170 pounds, Yamauchi will aim to secure the biggest victory of his career by defeating the much-hyped Page and solidifying his status as an immediate title contender in this remarkable battle between two of MMA’s most prolific finishers.

Garcelle Beauvais Stars & EP’s Lifetime “Black Girl Missing”

0

(Los Angeles, CA) – January 26, 2023 – Continuing with Lifetime’s mission to provide a platform for unheard voices, the network announces the greenlight and airdate for the original movie Black Girl Missing, from executive producer and star Garcelle Beauvais (Spider-Man: Homecoming, White House Down), inspired by actual stories of missing women of color and tells the story of a mother whose daughter is missing, only for authorities and media to dismiss her as a runaway while focusing heavily on another missing girl who is white. Black Girl Missing premieres Saturday, March 4th at 8/7c.

The movie is part of Lifetime’s Stop Violence Against Women campaign. A new PSA for Black and Missing Foundation will be part of the movie’s rollout featuring Beauvais.

About Black Girl Missing 

When Cheryl (Garcelle Beauvais) gets into an argument with her daughter Lauren (Iyana Halley) over her desire to drop out of college, she initially thinks Lauren is simply ignoring her calls and texts, but Cheryl soon realizes Lauren is missing. While she attempts to get help from authorities and the media, they quickly dismiss the case, labeling Lauren as a runaway while they are all too consumed with another case – that of a missing white girl. Desperate to find Lauren, Cheryl and her 15-year-old daughter Marley (Taylor Mosby) enlist the help of a dedicated community of amateur internet sleuths to try to find Lauren. Cheryl also discovers the Black and Missing Foundation and is horrified to discover the disparity in how missing persons of color cases are treated with significant lack of media attention and law enforcement resources.

The movie also stars Linda Park, as Elise, a local reporter who tries to help Cheryl, against the orders of the news director.

Derrica and Natalie Wilson, founders of Black and Missing Foundation, serve as consultants on the film.Black and Missing Foundation, Inc. (BAMF) has been established as a non-profit organization whose mission is to bring awareness to missing persons of color, provide vital resources and tools to missing person’s families and friends and to educate the minority community on personal safety. Garcelle Beauvais will also be featured in a new PSA in support of Black and Missing Foundation’s efforts.

Black Girl Missing is produced for Lifetime by Johnson Production Group in association with Motion Content Group. Garcelle Beauvais, Tim Johnson, Stacy Mandelberg, Gordon Gilbertson, Jason Egenberg, Richard Foster and Chet Fenster are executive producers. Delmar Washington (Outsiders) directs from a script written by Kale Futterman (Samir).



As a companion to the movie, Lifetime will debut the special, Beyond the Headlines: Black Girl Missing, following true stories of black and missing women featuring interviews with their families and Black and Missing Foundations’s involvement in the cases. Produced by AMS, Andy Streitfeld serves as EP and Kim Clemons is the showrunner. Natalie and Derrica Wilson of the Black and Missing Foundation are also consultants.

BELLATOR MMA Re-Signs No. 1 Light Heavyweight in the World, Vadim Nemkov

0

Los Angeles — BELLATOR MMA today announced an extension to the contract of reigning, undisputed BELLATOR Light Heavyweight World Champion and No. 2-ranked pound-for-pound competitor Vadim Nemkov (16-2, 1 NC). The multi-year, multi-fight extension bolsters the promotion’s talent-rich roster, which is home to several of the top fighters in the world.

Nemkov, 30, has extended his deal with BELLATOR following his million-dollar Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix finals victory over rival Corey Anderson. The win kept the Russian’s BELLATOR record perfect at a remarkable 8-0, 1 NC, which includes victories over former champions in Phil DavisLiam McGeary, and Rafael Carvalho, as well as current Heavyweight Champion Ryan Bader. He will continue to carry the torch for his mentor, the iconic Fedor Emelianenko.

“Vadim Nemkov was another athlete that we wanted to make sure we had on the BELLATOR roster for the foreseeable future. He’s a huge part of one of the divisions that we feel is the strongest in all of mixed martial arts,” BELLATOR President Scott Coker said. “Our light heavyweight tournament showcased that we have the top talent in the world at 205-pounds and we’re proud to be able to retain such a talented fighter to continue to lead that division. I am looking forward to seeing Vadim in exciting matchups in 2023 and beyond.”

In nine BELLATOR fights, Nemkov has quickly established himself as one of the best fighters in all mixed martial arts; unbeaten in his last 11 fights, Nemkov has amassed five knockouts and two submission victories over quality opponents during that span. As of January 16, leading MMA database Sherdogranks Nemkov as their top-ranked light heavyweight, regardless of promotion. Nemkov is ranked within the Top Five of ESPN’s, USA Today’s, and Vox Media’s light heavyweight sport-wide rankings. 

Nemkov was slated to face former Olympic medalist Yoel Romero in a fourth title defense as the co-headliner of BELLATOR 290, but was forced to withdraw. That highly-anticipated fight instantly resonated with fight fans, and will likely be rescheduled for the first bout on Nemkov’s newly-signed contract with BELLATOR MMA. 

Former BELLATOR Interim Champion Valentin Moldavsky Rematches No. 2 Ranked Linton Vassell During BELLATOR 292

0

LOS ANGELES – BELLATOR MMA’s massive return to the SAP Center at San Jose on Friday, March 10 now includes a heavyweight rematch between a former champion and a past title challenger when top-ranked Valentin Moldavsky (11-2, 1 NC) faces No. 2-ranked Linton Vassell (23-8) during the main card of BELLATOR 292.

The title eliminator rematch between Moldavsky and Vassell joins a main card that already features the launch of the highly anticipated, one-million-dollar BELLATOR Lightweight World Grand Prix, where in the main event newly crowned lightweight world champion and No. 7 pound-for-pound talent Usman Nurmagomedov (16-0) will defend his belt against former UFC Lightweight Champion and No. 3-ranked Benson Henderson (30-11), while in the co-main event, No. 2-ranked knockout artist Tofiq Musayev (20-4) will clash with No. 4-ranked Alexander Shabliy (22-3). 

The main card of BELLATOR 292: Nurmagomedov vs. Henderson will air LIVE in the U.S. on SHOWTIME at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT

In addition, the preliminary card is filling out with the addition of a clash between two top-ten ranked bantamweights, when Brazil’s Leandro Higo (21-6) goes toe-to-toe against

Ireland’s No. 8-ranked James Gallagher (11-2). The prelims will also see the long-awaited flyweight debut of undefeated Keri Taylor Melendez (5-0), who will jump right into action against the always tough Bruna Ellen (6-4). These along with more soon to be announced bouts will air live at 7 p.m. ET / 4 p.m. PT on the BELLATOR MMA YouTube channel, the SHOWTIME Sports YouTube channel, and Pluto TV. 

A renowned protégé of Fedor Emelianenko, Valentin Moldavsky is presently the BELLATOR heavyweight division’s No. 1-ranked contender. The 30-year-old has already held interim BELLATOR gold and is eager to achieve the hallowed status of world champion sooner, rather than later. The combat sambo world champion would also like to set up a rematch with current champion Ryan Bader, who he faced early in 2022. In their first meeting, Moldavsky outpointed Vassell in 2019 to the tune of a unanimous decision, and he will now look to make history repeat itself come their second meeting to solidify the first victory and punch his ticket to another world title shot.

Linton Vassell looks to continue his run of success since moving north to the heavyweight division against Moldavsky on March 10. “The Swarm” has proven to be a pest for ranked heavyweights since his debut in the division in 2019, rattling off four straight victories replete with three knockouts on his path to his upcoming bout. The six-foot-four Kill Cliff FC product will look to avenge his BELLATOR 218 decision defeat to Moldavsky to set up a second crack at BELLATOR gold. Wins over Sergei Kharitonov, Ronny Markes, Tyrell Fortune, and Tim Johnson have Vassell primed for success, but it will take a win over his past rival to cement his chance at a coveted heavyweight title shot. 

Ireland’s James Gallagherwas kept out of competition in 2022 due to injury but is eager to return to the win column this March in a compelling bantamweight matchup against Leandro Higo. A submission specialist with nine such finishes to his name, Gallagher was originally slated to compete in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix, but withdrew before it began. Still only 26-years-old, Gallagher is known as one of BELLATOR’s fastest-rising stars and has been one half of some of the promotion’s biggest events in his beloved Ireland. 


Brazil’s Leandro Higois likewise a talented submission grappler. Along with three knockouts, the 33-year-old former BELLATOR title challenger boasts 12 submissions on his impressive professional résumé. While Higo fell short to Grand Prix semi-finalist Danny Sabatelloin his last outing, Sabatello spoke highly of Higo’s abilities and the risks posed by his dangerous finishing potential in his post-fight comments. The winner of three of his last four, including a victory over former champion Darrion Caldwell in a rematch of their 2018 title fight, “Alter” Higo will look to dispatch of Gallagher and re-establish himself as a viable title contender.

Undefeated through five professional outings, Keri Taylor Melendez will return to the BELLATOR cage for the first time since 2020 against Brazil’s Bruna Ellen. The wife of former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion Gilbert Melendez, “Scary” Keri has carved out a legacy of her own in BELLATOR, showcasing a dynamic, crisp striking arsenal and a potent submission game during her unbeaten run to date. Melendez will look to continue her winning ways and earn a place among the upper echelon of the flyweight division with a victory in her 125-pound debut on March 10.

Continuing her run of taking on the toughest opponents available in the BELLATOR flyweight division, Brazilian standout Bruna Ellen will look to give Taylor Melendez a rough welcome back to the BELLATOR cage when the door locks behind both women on March 10. At 26, Ellen is one of the younger competitors in BELLATOR’s 125-pound division, but that hasn’t stopped her from facing two former world champions in her eight-fight promotional tenure.

Wednesday, January 18, 2023 – GLAAD, the world’s largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) media advocacy organization, today announced the nominees for the 34th Annual GLAAD Media Awards. Current RuPaul’s Drag Race stars Salina EsTitties and Sasha Colby announced nominees in select GLAAD Media Awards categories in a ‘GLAAD Drag Story Time’ video that just debuted on GLAAD’s YouTube.

The GLAAD Media Awards honor media for fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues. Since 1990, the GLAAD Media Awards have grown to be the most visible annual LGBTQ awards show in the world, sending powerful messages of acceptance to audiences globally.
