Spike TV and 345 Games announce 'Bellator: MMA Onslaught' video game

Spike TV and Bellator Fighting Championships are entering the video-game industry.

In association with Viacom Entertainment Group's 345 Games, Spike TV and Bellator announced the pending release of "Bellator: MMA Onslaught," an arcade-style MMA title.

"It was imperative that we create a mixed martial arts game accessible to all types of players, not just the hardcore MMA fan," 345 Games exec Dan Yang stated. "Fortunately, with 'Bellator: MMA Onslaught,' the player doesn't need a doctorate in gaming or MMA to enjoy the non-stop action and excitement of the game."

The game is currently slated for a summer 2012 release through the PlayStation Network and the Xbox Live Arcade.

According to the release, "gamers can customize their own fighter's look and fighting style to battle the way they want, whether it be Muay Thai, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, kickboxing or other styles. The game also shares tips directly from Bellator fighters through exclusive video content as players continue to level-up and gain experience points, allowing them to learn MMA skills in a fun and engaging way."

"Bellator has a roster of many of the world's most exciting fighters, and we are thrilled to work with 345 Games to let fans experience our organization in a whole new way," Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney stated. "Instead of just watching Michael Chandler's incredible takedowns or Patricky 'Pitbull's' devastating knockout power, fans can now get in the cage with 'Bellator: MMA Onslaught' and either fight with or against Bellator's finest."

Boasting "fast-paced action and pick-up-play controls," "Bellator: MMA Onslaught" promises online play in addition to superfight and tournament modes against a friend or the CPU. The game also promises to mirror Bellator's format, styles, graphics and music.

Bellator 60 results: Curran claims belt; Straus, Corey, Sandro, Bezerra advance

if you missed it...



Pat Curran's size was simply too much for Joe Warren.

Shrugging off takedown after takedown, Curran notched a third-round knockout win over Warren to win the Bellator featherweight title.

The title fight headlined Bellator 60, which took place Friday at The Venue at Horseshoe Hammond in Hammond, Ind., and aired live on MTV2.

Warren wasted no time trying to get Curran to the mat. But while he was able to get his bigger foe down, he could do nothing to keep him there.

Curran, meanwhile, patiently waited for an opportunity to put his bulk to good use, and late in the first, he severely wobbled the champ with a head kick. Warren, who going into the fight had plenty of experience getting his bell rung early, managed to survive, though he took an impossibly hard knee to the head to end the round.

Warren righted the ship somewhat in the second frame with several takedowns. But another big right hand reminded him he was not yet out of the woods.

The end came in the third when Warren dove for a takedown and ran flush into Curran's knee. A flurry of punches followed, though after the first salvo, Warren was out on his feet, and the fight was over.

Only it wasn't. The second salvo caused Warren to fully turn away, in a daze, and a third flurry of punches brought an uppercut that fully removed him from consciousness. The egregiously late stoppage came at the 1:25 mark of the third frame.

"That was the first mistake I made against Luis Palomino; I just rushed in right at it," Curran said afterward of his fight-ending swarm. "I wanted to wait, take my time and look for my openings."

Curran (17-4 MMA, 7-1 BFC) now adds the undisputed featherweight title to his collection of Bellator belts, which includes the season-two lightweight and Summer Series featherweight straps.

"It's a dream come true, and it's only beginning."

Warren (7-3 MMA, 5-2 BFC) has now suffered back-to-back knockout losses. Prior to his meeting with Curran, he was laid out in the opening round of Bellator's season-five bantamweight tourney by Alexis Villa.

Although dominant, another decision for Daniel Straus

Daniel Straus didn't get a finish as he wanted, but he did advance in his second Bellator tourney.

After three rounds, Straus outpointed a durable Jeremy Spoon by scores of 30-27, 29-28, 29-28.

"Uh, well, you know," he said at the conclusion of his 11th decision victory. "Jeremy Spoon is a really tough dude."

Tough though he was to survive, Spoon suffered the results of noticeable disadvantage in reach and size. Straus nearly dragged him to the mat from the opening bell with a standing arm-triangle, and he was rebuffed when he responded with a trip of his own.

Straus would continue to press with takedowns and score from top position late in the round, and his southpaw stance gave him free access to the orthodox Spoon's lead leg. A big left hand put the first frame in his corner.

Spoon pressed to get his own takedown in the second, but Straus' raw power kept him from that goal. Meanwhile, Straus continued to land powerful leg kicks, turning his leg red as the fight wore on. He would get a single takedown near the end of the round but was quickly reversed and lost points on the bottom.

Straus' pace slowed a bit in the third frame, but not enough to provide Spoon the opening needed to finish or gain ground on the scorecards.

After falling short in the season-four featherweight tournament against Patricio "Pitbull" Freire, Straus (18-4 MMA, 4-1 BFC) now has back-to-back wins under his belt including a decision over UFC vet Jason Dent.

Spoon (12-1 MMA, 2-1 BFC) suffers the first loss of his professional career after putting a dozen wins under his belt.

Corey dominates Mann on the mat to advance

Faced again with a more seasoned striker, Mike Corey utilized his wrestling to turn the tables.

An injury replacement for Wagnney Fabiano, Corey rebounded from early trouble to dominate Ronnie Mann on the mat and took home unanimous decision win.

It was nevertheless a come-from-behind win. Mann dropped Corey twice in a matter of seconds with a pair of right hands and nearly earned a stoppage win. Corey, however, recovered from the shot and eventually righted himself. After getting back to his feet, he nearly stole the round with a takedown and flurry of ground and pound in the final 30 seconds of the first frame.

Corey would continue to pursue Mann in the second and take a few punches on the way. But he would get another takedown and punish Mann from top position, avoiding a few submission attempts en route to winning the round.

That sequence of action would largely repeat itself in the third and final frame, though Corey would not only fare better on his feet but also hold top position for the bulk of the round. Again, Mann found himself eating punches from the bottom, and his hopes at advancing to the semifinals faded.

Judges agreed, giving Corey unanimous scores of 29-28.

"When he hit me, I was like, 'No he didn't,'" Corey said afterward. "But yeah, I see it, and then I'm on the ground. You've got to hustle. It's just reflexes to get back up.

"[The tournament is] just going to get harder, but this is what I'm here to do, so I'm happy."

Corey (12-2 MMA, 1-0-1 BFC) earns his first Bellator win after fighting striker Chris Horodecki to a draw in his promotional debut at Bellator 57. He hasn't fallen short since a split-decision loss to Shad Lierly five years go.

Mann (21-5 MMA, 3-2) suffers his second setback in Bellator since his bid to win the promotion's Summer Series ended in the semifinals against eventual champ Pat Curran.

Sandro cruises against Roberto Vargas

A day after his 35th birthday, Marlon Sandro gave himself a present.

Summer Series featherweight tournament finalist made mincemeat out of first-time tourney participant Roberto Vargas before cinching a first-round submission win.

The official end came at the 3:35 mark of the opening frame, but it was set in motion a minute earlier. After a few fits and starts, Sandro, a former champ in the now-defunct Sengoku, landed a combination that brought Vargas to his knees.

Scrambling for survival, Vargas righted himself only to eat a flying knee. He dove on instinct for a takedown, but Sandro popped up.

Another combination punctuated by a stiff uppercut sent Vargas to the mat, and Sandro pounded away before securing a rear-naked choke.

"Thank you everybody," Sandro told the crowd afterward. "I want to finish a fight or get a submission or a knockout."

Sandro (21-3 MMA, 4-1 BFC) has now won back-to-back fights since falling short to Summer Series champ Pat Curran at Bellator 48.

Vargas (12-2 MMA, 1-2 BFC), meanwhile, sees a six-fight win streak snapped.

Bezerra impresses against short-notice replacement

In the first opening-round fight in Bellator's season-six featherweight tournament, Alexandre "Popo" Bezerra submitted last-minute replacement Kenny Foster in the final seconds of the second round.

From the opening bell, Foster was ill-prepared to match Bezerra's pressure. Despite fending off early pressure against the fence, he provided a relatively stationary target for the Brazilian's stinging kicks. An uppercut-hook combo also landed flush for Bezerra, giving him the first frame.

Foster's cornerman implored him to pull the trigger between rounds, and the fighter obliged early in the second frame, probing forward with more punches. But Bezerra would catch him on the way out and continue to press forward.

Although he seemed at moments to be balance-challenged, flipping in midair as he countered a hip toss and whirling to the mat on a haymaker, Bezerra was undoubtedly in control of the fight.

When Foster managed to duck under the Brazilian's guard for a takedown, he was reversed in a subsequent scramble and took a flurry of punches before tapping to a barely-sunk rear-naked choke. The official time of the stoppage came three seconds shy of the second-round bell at the 4:57 mark.

With the submission win, Bezzera (13-1 MMA, 5-0 BFC) moves to the semifinals and improves to five consecutive wins under the Bellator banner. His sole professional setback came three years ago against UFC standout Charles Oliveira.

Foster (9-6 MMA, 2-4 BFC), meanwhile, is 2-4 in his stint with the promotion and is winless in his most recent four outings.

Marius Zaromskis vs. Waachiim Spiritwolf rematch added to Bellator 68

A welterweight rematch between DREAM champion Marius Zaromskis (16-6 MMA, 0-0 BFC) and Waachiim Spiritwolf (9-9-1 MMA, 1-0 BFC) will be part of next month's Bellator 68 event.

The fight marks the promotional debut of Zaromskis, who signed a multi-fight deal with Bellator earlier this year.

Bellator 68 takes place May 11 at Palladium Ballroom in Caesars Atlantic City in New Jersey. The night's main card airs on MTV2, and Spike.com carries the prelims.

Zaromskis vs. Spiritwolf likely will be part of the televised lineup. The fighters first met in late 2010 at Strikeforce Challengers 12, where the bout ended after just six seconds when Spiritwolf suffered an accidental eye poke and couldn't continue.

Zaromskis, who won the 2009 DREAM world welterweight grand prix to become the Japanese-based promotion's first champ in the weight class, has defended his belt just once in three years. The 31-year-old Lithuanian, who went 0-2 (with one no-contest) with Strikeforce in 2010, is on a current 3-1 run. Most recently, Zaromskis scored a flashy somersault-kick knockout of Bruno Carvalho at a November regional event in Sweden. It was his 12th knockout in 16 career wins.

The California-based Spiritwolf has competed with organizations such as KOTC, Strikeforce and Tachi Palace Fights during his six-year career. Currently, though, he's stuck in a 1-4 skid that included recent defeats to Jorge Lopez and Michael Madrid. The lone victory came in his Bellator debut, when he earned a split-decision victory over Jaime Jara at Bellator 35.

I seriously guess I don't understand the unified rules of MMA. I really don't understand how the judges and even the commentators gave round 2 to Travis Marx over Ueda. Marx spent 4 minutes of the round underneath Ueda, got one reverse and spent 1 minute on top where he literally did nothing and Ueda ended up taking him down again. I'm seriously dumbfounded every MMA show, maybe I don't see what other people see, but 8 out of the last 10 minutes of the fight Ueda easily controlled.

This shit is seriously ruining every show I watch. Granted Ueda didn't look as impressive as I thought he would, but damn I don't see how anyone could have scored that 2nd round for Marx.
