A stronger vision for farming and more money - that's the call from the Wildlife Trusts in a new report which makes the case for investment in nature to protect the UK's food security. It says that at a time when climate change impacts are starting to bite, the restoration of nature is critical to feeding the country.Mike Wilkins is an arable farmer from Wiltshire - and was also a contestant on the latest season of The Great British Bake Off. We've been to meet him and try one of his latest bakes.And, over the past few years artificial fertilisers have got a lot more expensive. Along with their environmental impact, that's concentrated minds on how to reduce their use without seeing a big impact on yields. We visit a research project in Leicestershire were new nitrogen fixing technology is being used.Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons

For many Americans, there can be only one Christmas song to rule them all: Mariah Carey's "All I Want For Christmas Is You." In addition to 772 million views on that single YouTube video alone, it has hit No. 1 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart the past four years in a row and is believed to have raked in nearly $100 million in earnings thus far. But for the rest of us, there is a world of underground, often bizarre holiday music, and Under the Radar's holiday music correspondent has spent decades dredging them up from record stores and and forgotten corners of the internet. This season, for his 34th year of holiday melodies, Mike Wilkins honors his mixtape history with this year's seasonal compilation, “Mr. Mike's Merry Mix," a Yuletopia recording.

Josh Visokey is a savage. I mean, he's been shot. Literally (he shows the proof on the podcast!). So yeah. Savage. Inside the cage, the savagery continues for Visokey, too. He registered a Knockout of the Year contender for 247 Fighting Championships in May, and he has big, big plans to continue that momentum in 2023. The Stout PGH fighter breaks down the upcoming Brawl in the Burgh 15 fight card (which has five of his teammates competing), the Mike Wilkins hula dance, life on the streets, fighter beef, and much, much more. > It's insane. That's a promise. Watch the full video right here on 247 Live or listen below.

Mike Wilkins, Head of Industry Solutions at R3, the enterprise blockchain solutions provider, talks to Shanny Basar, Senior Writer at Markets Media, about how blockchain is being used in institutional capital markets and the importance of interoperability in allowing frictionless movement between different parts of the digital asset ecosystem. Wilkins has more than 20 plus years experience in capital markets technology including eight years at Fidessa, the financial technology vendor in Chicago. He also worked at a wealth management start up. so joining R3 at the beginning of 2022 allowed him to combine his interest in financial technology with a startup mentality. R3 was founded in 2014 by a consortium of global banks and its core offerings are Corda, a private permissioned distributed ledger technology platform, and Conclave, which allows confidential data sharing.

Here's a breakdown of the articles we've featured in this podcast: (1) Our feature spotlight today is from Minidoka County where Mike Wilkins farms with his family. Of all the jobs on the farm, Wilkins says his favorite is operating the sugarbeet digger. Freelancer Julia McCarthy tells us his story. (2) As water becomes ever more valuable to Idaho, a group of ag producers consistently evaluate proposed increases to help legislators, the public and the Public Utilities Commission understand what's at stake for irrigators. Learn more about the Idaho Irrigation Pumpers Association.  (3) Our next guest knows all things market related – Clark Johnston. Well, he'd probably argue that he doesn't know ALL things, but studying historical trends can certainly inform tomorrows choices – in any market. The real difficulty, Clark says, is remaining calm through turbulent times. (4) “Shoeboxes and coffee cans” pretty well sums up humorist Michele Coleman's column. Where else would you find a pinewood derby car pushed up against two gift cards to the local farm supply store and business cards from tractor salesmen but a farmer's pocket and keepsake cleanout?

This week, Shirin chats to Mike Wilkins, Executive Director at Imperial's Centre for Climate Finance & Investment (CCFI). They speak on climate risk, nature-based solutions, and whether capital markets can rise to the role of stewards of the planet.   Books mentioned in this podcast:   Stranded Assets and the Environment: Risk, Resilience and Opportunity edited by Ben Caldecott https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/ben-caldecott-university-of-ox/stranded-assets-and-the-environment/9780367458973?gclid=CjwKCAiApfeQBhAUEiwA7K_UHxBGfZkpayDr9CIy524o7mX2Bzy-Y9WBUq3z3XLFyEW4b5TcJmsj3BoCYOIQAvD_BwE     Investing To Save The Planet by Alice Ross https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/alice-ross/investing-to-save-the-planet/9780241457238?gclid=CjwKCAiApfeQBhAUEiwA7K_UH3wytCFzmKKvxj15suCU_C2JFj6unUXcH--VH_TEe5-xQZfU0S4pERoCzM0QAvD_BwE   The Power of Geography by Tim Marshall https://www.wob.com/en-gb/books/tim-marshall/power-of-geography/9781783965953?gclid=CjwKCAiApfeQBhAUEiwA7K_UHymRQQBbtVliAE9PMggVMiYv5BsTKFpZlrh53c1rPs2kji8K3MrlJxoC83cQAvD_BwE

There have been a lot of headlines coming out of COP26, the big United Nations climate conference that took place in Glasgow the first two weeks of November. In this episode of ESG Insider, we bring you inside the event through interviews with COP attendees.  We hear about the mood on the ground: chaotic, but with an overriding sense of optimism that the world can make progress toward the goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees C relative to preindustrial levels.  “For the first time, that target seemed to be in reach,” says Mike Wilkins, Head of Sustainable Finance Research at S&P Global Ratings and a member of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures, or TCFD, who has attended many previous iterations of COP. Part of that sense of progress came from the growing presence of the financial sector at COP.  “The finance sector was really clearly present and active, and communicating the need for financial institutions to take account of climate change. And that was a new part of the dynamic this year,” says Divya Mankikar, Global Head of ESG Market Engagement at S&P Global Sustainable1.  We saw many private sector pledges during COP26, including an announcement from the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero, or GFANZ, that financial institutions representing $130 trillion of assets have committed to Paris Agreement goals. We should celebrate that progress, says James Vaccaro, Executive Director of the Climate Safe Lending Network, a group with the goal of bringing international bank lending in line with the Paris Agreement.  “A few years ago, if anyone was really talking seriously about large global banks making net zero carbon commitments … it would have been seen as quite fringe or radical,” James tells us. But he says there is more work to do. “Once you do have people in the tent … you want to move very quickly from a situation of normalized best practice into raising the bar for everyone.” Photo credit: Getty Images

In this special episode, Mike Wilkins takes to the floor of COP26 in Glasgow with Andrew W. Mitchell, the Vice Chair of the Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) Stewardship Council to discuss the issue of tackling global deforestation, a major issue in the fight against climate change. Many solutions are needed but a global adoption of natural capital accounting pricing measures could be the most promising way forward by potentially encouraging more forest-friendly farming practices. The discussion comes right on the heels of Nature Day at COP26 – a day promoting the importance of nature and sustainable land use globally.

Playlist Chamberlin Rhythmate Two Times The Trauma, “Freak Show” from I Fell In Love With An Ocean (2006 Starfly). There is an original Chamberlin Rhythmate at Roth Händle Studios in Stockholm, plus some other precious vintage equipment used in the making of the first album by Two Times The Trauma. Double Bass, Vocals, Magnus Eugensson; Drums, Percussion, Optigan, Mellotron, Tin Whistle, Turntables, Chamberlin Rhythmate, Mattias Olsson; Electric Guitar, Eric Fallope; Mellotron, Orchestron, Tobias Ljungkvist; Tuba, Fredrik Wennström; Vocals, Cecilia Åhlfeldt; Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Mattias Eriksson; Xylophone, Daniel Kåse.

Orchestron French Horn disc on 'In Your Eyes' used thanks to Zac Rae. All Optigan, Mellotron and Chamberlin Rhythmate service and maintenance was performed way beyond the call of duty by Markus Resch. Wurlitizer Side Man and Swingin' Rhythm LCD Sound System, “Somebody's Calling Me” from This Is Happening (2010 Parlophone). Somebody's Calling Me; Finger Snaps Snaps, Matt Thornley; Finger Snaps Snaps, Synthesizer Casio MT-68, Wurlitzer Sideman, EMS VCS3 Putney, Korg Poly Ensemble, Bass, Piano Acoustic, Keyboards Roland System 100, Vocals, James Murphy; Mixed By, DS; Trombone, Jason Disu; Written-By, J. Murphy. Glenn Derringer, “The Girl From Ipanema” from Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm (1968 Wurlitzer). Glenn Derringer at the Wurlitzer electronic organ, demonstrating the Wurlitzer Electronic Swingin' Rhythm attachment with an unspecified Wurlitzer electronic organ. Each track on this demonstration disc explains the Swingin' Rhythm settings that were used. For “The Girl From Ipanema,” the settings were: “Moderate Bossa Nova. The Swingin' Rhythm was set at Latin, tempo control set to 1 o'clock.” What more can I say? Dick Hyman, “Strobo” from the single Strobo/Lay, Lady, Lay (1969 Command). Dick told me about this track, which was one of his Moog experiments that didn't make it onto his two albums around this time. Normally, he produced his Moog tracks with the help of synthesizer programmer Walter Sear. But in the case of this single, he did all the programming. For “Strobo,” he used a drum machine. It sounds like a Swingin' Rhythm. Jean-Pierre Sabar, “Fool on the Hill” from Super-Danse/Les Orgues Électroniques De Jean Pierre Sabar (1969 Sava). French LP of instrumental cover versions of popular music, all played on the Wurlitzer 4300 electronic organ with integrated Multi-Matic Percussion unit and Swingin' Rhythm, which was also sold as a standalone drum machine. In this case, I'm having a little trouble telling the difference between the drum machine and what sometimes sounds like a drum set with bass and toms. The settings on the organ indicate that the pedals can be used to play “drum” and “cymbal” sounds, and the Swingin' Rhythm unit had buttons for drum, brush, snare, block, and cymbal. Still, I can't account for the tambourine sound but so much of this rhythm section sounds like a drum machine repeating sounds robotically that I must assume that this is a combination of live drummer and drum machine. Jerry Styner And Larry Brown, “Dock of the Bay” from Orbit III (1971 Beverly Hills). Album produced to showcase the sounds of the Wurlitzer Orbit III organ, the “orbit” portion being a a third, two-octave keyboard that was a monophonic synthesizer. The instrument was equipped with the latest Wurlitzer rhythm machine built in. On this track, you not only hear sounds of a drum machine that sounds similar to the Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm machine introduced in 1969. Although the liner notes suggest that all of the sounds were created using the organ, there appears to be a regular human drummer playing along (probably percussionist and co-producer Larry Brown). I say this because there is a hit hat heard throughout and although Swingin' Rhythm had setting for a Snare, Brush and Cymbal sounds, as fills for the rhythm settings, they really did not reproduce the hit hat sound that is heard here. That and the miscellaneous drum fills added throughout sound more “played” than mechanized. Anyway, that's my take after examining this recording as compared to the actual sounds of the Swingin' Rhythm unit. Thomas Organ Byron Melcher, “Spanish Flea” from The Entertainers (1966 Thomas Organ Co.). Thomas Organ was one of the leading makers of electronic organs for the home. On this track, you can hear the Playmate rhythm component, a drum machine with 15 preset rhythms. The Thomas organ drum machine, circa mid-1960s. Thomas Organ was another maker of electronic organs for the home market. By 1966 they had created the Playmate rhythm component, a drum machine with 15 preset rhythms and a standalone device called the Band Box that had 10 preset rhythms. These were often sold as part of their Color-Glo line of transistorized organs. Color-Glo helped amateur musicians by lighting up the keys for preprogrammed melodies and chords to guide them along. Lowrey Organ Johnny Kemm “Taboo” from Latin Days (1970 Concert Recording). This album was created using the Lowrey Theater Console Deluxe organ model H25R-2 equipped with the built-in Automatic Rhythm drum machine feature. Not Sure Which Drum Machine Robin Gibb, “Mother and Jack” from the single Saved by the Bell/Mother and Jack (1969 Polydor). There was brief period in 1969 when the Brothers Gibb, otherwise known as the Bee Gees, had a sibling riff and Robin went off on his own to record some solo projects while Barry and Maurice completed a two-man Bee Gee album called Cucumber Castle. Perhaps because he was working along, Robin used a drum machine to mark time while recording various tracks and in the case of a few songs, he kept the mechanical rhythm as part of the finished recording. This might be the earliest purposeful use of a drum machine on a pop hit. I include it hear because it is probably a Swingin' Rhythm, although it might also be a Seeburg Select-A-Rhythm, also available at the time. Bruce Haack “Saint Basil” from The Electronic Record For Children (1969 Dimension 5). Tape composition, drum machine, and synthesis by Bruce Haack; Directed by P. Pandel; Performer, The Children Of Holy Trinity Cathedral School. Bruce used an unidentified drum machine on this album of children's music. Roland (Various) Michael Iceberg, “Mexican Hat Dance” from Does It Live: 100th Week At Walt Disney World (1977 Hihomusic). This album was only sold to tourists as a souvenir at Walt Disney World during the Michael Iceberg residency as a performer at Tomorrowland Terrace during the late 70's through the late 80's. Unknown drum machine, but likely a Roland Rhythm TR-55. Miha Kralj, “Apokalipsa” from Andromeda (1980 PGP). Yugoslavian record from synthesist Miha Kralj features a Roland CompuRhythm CR-78. Composer, producer, Synthesizer, Vocoder, Sequencer, Drum Machine, Effects, Miha Kralj. Gary Numan, “Slowcar To China” from Dance (1981 Atco). Bass , Mick Karn; Percussion, Gary Numan, Tim Steggles; Polymoog, Prophet 5, Roland JP 4, CP30, Claptrap, Electronic Drums Roland CR78, Gary Numan; Viola, Chris Payne. The Noyes Brothers, “Byte to Beat” from Sheep From Goats (1980 Object Music). Synthesizer and electronic drums, Solamar. The Noyes Brothers had two members, Steve Miro and Steve Solamar. They were from the UK and Solamar seems to be the only artist on this track and uses an non-specific Roland drum machine. This track is taken from a double LP, the only record I know of for the Noyes Brothers. Comateens, “Ghosts” from Comateens (1981 Cachalot Records). Here is a group who's unofficial fourth member was a Roland Compu-Rhythm CR-78. The inner notes for the album featured profiles of all of the artists, including Lyn Byrd on synthesizers and vocals, Oliver North on guitar and vocals, Nic North on bass, and vocals and the Roland machine, which was described as having a square black head, no body, with red, blue, and yellow buttons. In addition, the notes state that the Roland drum machine was born in Japan and existed as 3,468 separate pieces before assembled and called upon to serve with the Comateens. Joël Fajerman, “Espace – Oiseaux” from Azimuts (1981 PSA). French record by Fajerman featuring a Roland TR 808 Rhythm composer, and instruments such as the Multimoog, Prophet 5, Korg polyphonic 3100, Clavinet D6, ARP sequencer, Oberheim module. SPK (System Planning Korporation), “Emanation Machine R. Gie 1916” from Information Overload Unit (1981 Side Effects). Australian industrial sounds released in the UK. Guitar, Bass, Tape, Vocals, Mike Wilkins; Synthesizer, Roland Drum Programming, Effects, Vocals, Graeme Revell; Synthesizer, Effects, Dominic Guerin. Rüdiger Lorenz, “Out of the Past” from Invisible Voices (1983 Syncord). This late pharmacist/synthesist from Germany played all the instruments on this album, including Korg Polysix, Formant Synthesizer, Roland Vocoder VC 10, Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer, Moog Sample & Hold, MXR Stereo Chorus, Electro-Harmonix Flanger, PPG Sequencer, Elektor Ringmodulator, and Pearl Vorg Echo-Orbit. Other analog drum machines Bob Hacker, “Careless Hands” from One Man Opry: Bob Hacker Plays The Yamaha Electone D (1980 Yamaha). This album, produced by Yamaha, features some of the wacky analog synth effects it could produce as well as its built-in drum machine. This was a spinet style organ, a small upright keyboard with pedals for the home market. Arthur Brown and Kingdom Come, “Time Captives” from Journey (1973 Polydor). Brown used Bentley drum machine to provide drums on this track. The Bentley was actually a UK version of the Roland TR-77 which was the very first product Roland released under they own name. In the US this same unit was sold by Hammond as the Auto-Vari 64. The unit has 5 faders for Volume, Tempo, Cymbal/HH/Maracas, Guiro, Snare, Bass Drum. The TR-77 has 6 faders for Tempo, Fade Time, Volume, Bass D, Snare D, Guiro & Hi-Hat/Cymbal/Maracas. Bass, Percussion, Vocals, Phil Shutt; Bentley Rhythm Ace, Vocals, Arthur Brown; Electric Guitar, Vocals – Andy Dalby; Mellotron, Synthesizer [Arp 2600, Vcs3], Piano, Theremin, Percussion, Vocals, Victor Peraino. Kraftwerk, “Radioactivity” from Kraftwerk – Radio-Activity (1975 Capitol).Electronics, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; Lyrics by Emil Schult, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; music by Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter; Electronic Percussion Karl Bartos, Wolfgang Flür; Vocals, Florian Schneider, Ralf Hütter. Schoolly D, “P.S.K.-What Does It Mean? (instrumental version)” from‎ P.S.K.-What Does It Mean? / Gucci Time (1986 Schooly D Records). A remix of this track that features only the drum sounds of the The Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer. This drum machine was one of the first Roland instruments to be equipped with MIDI, and was the first analog/digital hybrid machine, combining analog circuits for its drums with digital samples for its cymbal and hi-hat sounds. You can hear how Schooly D isolated the cymbals and drums on this track. Pixie Ninja, “Leng Plateau” from Colours Out Of Space (2020 Apollon Records). Another recording using the Chamberlin Rhythmate in the Roth Händle Studio in Stockholm. Roth Händle studios is run by producer and musician Mattias Olsson who collects, restores, and offers vintage musical gear for use by visiting bands. There is so much to listen to here with Pixie Ninja's hard-driving and somewhat deranged mix of vintage, cranky electronic instruments and modern guitars and synthesizers. You can hear the Chamberlin Rhythmmate in this track, a Bandmaster Powerhouse Drum Machine (the one that used 8-track tapes), and an Electro-Harmonix DRM-16 Drum Machine. Godin Shifter 4 Bass, Korg Krome 61, Korg Volca Keys, Korg Monotribe, Nord Lead A1, Glockenspiel, Polar Circle Bells, Kalimba, Marius Leirånes; Drums, Percussion, Mother Modular System, Mellotron M400, Philicorda Organ, Chamberlin Rhythmate, Fender Rhodes, Hohner Clavinet, Blind Typemachine, EMS VCS3, Casio PT-88, Roland JV-8080, Roland SH-101, Electro-Harmonix DRM-16 Drum Machine, Moog Taurus, Korg MS-10, Optigan, Roland VP-330+, Bandmaster Powerhouse Drum Machine, E-Bow (Bass Gizmotron), Jenco Celeste, Grand Piano, Mattias Olsson; Fender Stratocaster, Gretsch G5320T, TC Electronic AEON Infinite Sustainer, Korg Krome 61, Korg microKORG, Nord Lead A1, Arturia Microbrute, Stylophone 350s, Glockenspiel, Jostein Haugen; Rickenbacker 12 String Electric Guitar, Fender Rhodes, Philicorda Organ, Mellotron M400, Hampus Nordgren-Hemlin. Background Sounds Opening: Negativland, “Side 1, Track 3” from Negativland (1980 Seeland). An unidentified drum box is heard throughout this track. It sounds a lot like the Wurlitzer Swingin' Rhythm. Recorded Dec. 1979-April 1980. This privately release album had a hand-made sleeve made of cut-and-paste artwork assembled with xerox, wallpaper, black construction paper, and magazine photos. Beneath these pasted portions, the cover itself is spray painted and stenciled with parts of the band name, as well as hand-numbered. Synthesizer, edited by, voice, tape, David Wills; Tape, Electronics, drum machine rhythms, Booper (an electronic oscillator), Clarinet, Organ, Viola, Loops, Guitar, Mark Hosler, Richard Lyons.

Each year Mike brings us a carefully curated mix-tape of rescued vinyl one-hit wonders and whatever background he can find behind each track. But inevitably, some of those origin stories are lost to the dusty used-record bins of analog history. When that happens, we turn to all of you - our loyal listeners - to see if we can trace these songs back to their source through your collective memory. Such was the case with one of our favorites from this last year's mix, “Little Red Top,” by the Glenn Cross Sextet featuring Jane Sharon and introducing Larry Ladd. And you delivered.

Tired of hearing "White Christmas" and "Silver Bells?" We've got the cure for an overplayed playlist! These are not the Christmas carols and holiday songs you'll hear as you're driving in your car or picking up last-minute gifts at the mall. Instead, Mike Wilkins riffles through dusty vinyl bins and online bidding sites to gather rare holiday records that are too quirky and too weird to make it into the songbook of mainstream holiday tunes, and then compiles them into a fun collection of unusual songs. This is Mike's 28th year collecting holiday music, and his latest playlist, "Jingle Bell Jukebox," is sure to bring a smile, a laugh and even some head scratching to listeners of all ages. Guest: Mike Wilkins, holiday-song aficionado and engineer for PRI's "The World."

Francis Healy Interview Francis Healy joined us as well as he makes his way home to Pittsburgh. Healy spent time in Philadelphia after his Bellator debut just a week ago and pulled over to chat with MMA Fancast. He discussed what is next, how Frankie did a good job of hugging him to death and what the game plan is to address that particular issue, as it has been the downfall for him in multiple fights now. Ethan Goss Interview Ethan had a very controversial fight in which the first two rounds had very little action and the third round he completely dominated. Goss lost a very tough split decision.

Bellator 186 recap - MMA Fancast reviews our time as credentialed media at Bellator 186. We discuss the fights as well as giving special attention to the fighters representing Pittsburgh and Western PA. Preliminary Card: Middleweight Preliminary Bout: Josh Fremd (1-0) vs. Ryan Parker (Pro Debut) - Bellator 186 recap Round 1 – Here we go. Parker with an early flurry and Fremd gets the takedown. Fremd works for the guillotine and Parker works back to his feet. Parker ends on top of Fremd but Josh gets back up. Parker working him against the cage. Parker going for single leg but it’s stopped by Fremd. Grappling against the cage, Parker controlling. Fremd finally reverses and briefly gets the back. Parker on bottom on his side hanging onto Kimora but never gets it. Fremd on top and looking for gnp. ou can hear Dominic Mazzotta from the first row extending Josh’s corner. Round ends with Josh in control. Close round but we score it 10-9 Fremd. Round 2 – Fighters feel out for a little bit then a ferry by Parker awakens Fremd and Fremd explodes with a high kick that barely connects followed up by a flurry of punches that puts Parker on the canvas. Fremd gets on top and is ruthless. Finally takes his back and forces the tap via RNC just 1:25 into the round. Featherweight Preliminary Bout: Ethan Goss (3-3) vs. Andrew Salas (3-1) - Bellator 186 recap Round 1 – Clearly the fan favorite, Goss came out with several kicks from a southpaw stance. Jabs keeping Salas at a distance continue setting up the kicks for Goss. Salas was eventually able to get some pressure against the cage 1 minute in.  Battle along the fence for both men and a takedown attempt by Salas was stuffed. Goss eventually got off the cage with a takedown but Salas quickly got back to his feet. The fight went back to the fance again, again with Salas pressing and trying to wear down Goss by leaning against him and throwing knees to the abdomen.  The round finished in the middle of the ring. Round 2 –  Round 2 began with kicks again from Goss and Salas pressing to move it to the fence.  At the 1 minute mark again and Salas was able to secure a takedown.  Goss got back to his feet and was able to fight off a back mount attempt.  Much of the same in Rd.2 with the action against the cage, but half way through, Goss was able to move it to the middle. Salas controlling the pace and pressure, but separation and space gave Goss a window for strikes to land.  Goss ended the round with a choke attempt but Salas escaped and it moved to the middle to end the round. Round 3 –  Round 3 begins and the action, went to the fence again, but in favor of Goss.  Goss gained top position and eventually got back position but could not sink the choke. Salas tried an escape and then found himself in trouble with Goss in full mount.  Salas was able to fight off most off the blows, but Goss maintained full mount.  Round 3 was all for Goss. Salas eventually made it back to his feet, but Goss was undeterred and took it to the ground again.  The round ended with Goss looking for the rear-naked choke but was unsuccessful.  The fans wanted the victory for Goss who was from State College.  The judges scored it 29-29 Goss, 29-28 Salas and 29-28 Salas to give Salas the split decision but the crowd felt otherwise. Featherweight Preliminary Bout: Francis Healy (7-4) vs. Frank Buenafuente (7-4) - Bellator 186 recap Round 1 –  Round 1 began with the action quickly going up against the fence and Buenafuente with the pressure. Healy was able to fight him off and move it to the center of the ring, but Buenafuente secured a takedown and put Healy in full guard.  Still on the ground, the fight moved up against the cage once more and Healy found a hole for an armbar. Buenafuente was eventually able to escape.  After a flurry for position, Healy was in full guard, but this time at the center of the ring where the round ended. Round 2 –  With round 1 going to Buenafuente, Healy came out pressuring, throwing jabs and kicks.  The fight eventually went to the ground again and Buenafuente .  Healy moved to the fence and could not get back to his feet after several attempts. Healy found himself on his back once more in half guard, pulling Buenafuente down to avoid blows from the top. With about 1 minute left in the round, Healy was able to get back to his feet briefly, but the action went back to the mat and ended there. Round 3 –  Round 3 begins with Healy losing both rounds.  Healy came out with pressure again and this time took the fight to fence but could not get a takedown.  After a scramble and going back to the ground, Healy went for an armbar once more, but Buenafuente was able to escape.  The action continued on the ground with each fighter looking for control before the ref finally moved the fighters to their feet. In the center, both briefly exchanged jabs and crosses, before going to the ground and Healy looking for another armbar attempt.  After a scramble back to their feet and a few more strikes the round ended, probable for a unanimous decision for Buenafuente, who  was sporting a size-able welt and swelling under his left eye.  The judges scoring was announced as 30-27 and 29-28 for Buenafuente. Featherweight Preliminary Bout: Ty-wan Claxton (Pro Debut) vs. Johnny Bonilla-Bowman (1-0) - Bellator 186 recap Round 1 –  Ty-wan Claxton is making his pro debut in this fight.  Round 1 begins with both fighters trying to find distance for strikes, with circling in the middle.  Several attempts did not find their mark, until a flying left knee by Ty-wan Braxton, the only significant strike landed by either fighter, ended the fight with a knockout.  The fans went crazy with the live action and each instance of replay.  Bonilla-Bowman was attended to for several minutes before he was able to gain his feet.  Wow is and understatement for the finish.  Not a bad way to start your professional mma career. Welterweight Preliminary Bout: Logan Storley (6-0) vs. Matt Secor (9-4) - Bellator 186 recap Round 1 –  A fight to keep your eye on, as we stated in an earlier post.  Both fighters met in the middle and got right to exchanges blows and landing.  The gap closed and the fight went to the ground with Storley on top and finding his mark in a flurry, opening a cut on Secor’s forehead.  Storley looked to finish, but Secor was able to temporarily scramble away from further damage. Short lived, and looking for a sub from the bottom, Storley backed off and Secor was able to land upkicks.  The ref eventually brought Secor to his feet but the round ended with a small flurry of action, Secor on his back again.  Round 1 to Storley. Round 2 –  Round 2 began again with both men meeting in the center for an exchange of jabs before, 30 seconds in, Secor was on his back again.  Not much action while on the mat, so the ref brought them back up.  Storley started the action again with a right kick to Secor’s front left leg and Secor returned the favor, but landed up high around the shoulders.  Once again, midway through the round, Storley took his opponent down , but there was limited action and the ref, again, brought them back up.  Secor went for a choke attempt, but Storley was able to scramble, avoiding a 2nd submission attempt and the round ended with Storley on top, taking the 2nd round as well. Round 3 –  Round 3 and Storley came out looking to pressure and wear his opponent down with strikes.  A successful takedown by Storley found him on top, with Secor in full guard.  Limited action on the ground, except for a few small flurries from both the bottom and the top.  Storley found his mark with a right hand over the top but, for the most part, Secor was able to block and deflect.  After Secor regained his feet, he made a successful takedown but scrambling on the mat, Storley was able to reverse and, once again, find the top position.  The fighters eventually got back up and to the fence where the round and the fight ended.  This should be a 30-27 unanimous decision for Storley.  UPDATE: 30-26, 30-27, 30-27 for Storley with a unanimous decision. His knockout streak ended but remained undefeated.
