Nedavno, headlinera Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Lagane Champion, i Jovan “First Class” Zrak(2-7) pridružio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson na posebnom “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, među ostalim temama.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “ruku talas.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington je tvrdio da je on samo signalizaciju svojim fanovima u publici da se čekanje nije radio nikakve štete.

 

“Mogu vam reći kako je te noći završio,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “U osnovi, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, i kao što sam uhvatio lijevom biceps i levom rukom se događa iza glave, Sudac je zaustavio borbu… Bio sam zapanjen da je predložen, jer, pošteno, Znao sam da sam imao puno pritisak na vilicu… Ako se u činjenici da je mahao, to je sranje za njega.”

 

“U toj situaciji, Ja konkretno sjetiti Bickford me gleda, Ja sam se suoči, on ide za vrat, a ja mašući,” Said Boyington. “Svi počne urlajući Real glasno i sjećam Bickford govorim, "Ne Bruce, ne možete reći da '… Ako mislite da sam dostavljanje ili da sam u nevolji ili ne mogu disati, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ne možete reći da je,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Vidim mnogo različitih stvari koje John rekao online, i mnogo stvari koje su drugi ljudi, rekao je, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Prije Boyington odustaje leđa, many felt he had been winning that first round. Doista, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Neizbježno, Mislim John bi bio nokautiran,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ne mislim da ću ga dostaviti, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mislim da ako sudac nije zaustaviti na vrijeme, kad sam bio na vilicu sa svojim podlaktice i ja bio postizanje iza vrat,” Ray spekulisali, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Tako, Ne mislim da bi si otišla u drugi krug.”

 

U danima, sedmicama i mjesecima nakon borbe, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” oba sportaša dotakao ono što revanš za njih znači, i ono što im je potrebno da se dokaže da to dolazi vikenda.

 

“Jednostavno ne mogu da odem tamo i tukli John,” Said Boyington. “Čak i svoje fanove očekuju da… Ne mogu samo otići tamo na 13. junand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Znam da je, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, jer je drugu ruku nije ni sada rade… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“U odnosu na Bruce mi brzo završio, i što ga čini lako, i ne brinuti o borbi previše, Samo mi je uvredljivo kao puno stvari o kojima on mi je rekao:, moja porodica i moji prijatelji,” replied Raio. “Bilo je trenutaka nakon posljednje borbe, kada me ljudi su čestitali (na Facebooku) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Tako, nakon toga sam rekao "Bruce i ja zapravo nisu više prijatelji,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ali kada me ljudi ne postujes kao da ima teško je svidja.”
