Bubar, headliners Bruce “Cantik Boy” Boyington (10-8), ing NEF MMA Profesional Lightweight Juara, lan John “First Class” Ray(2-7) gabungan NEF co-pemilik lan matchmaker Matt Peterson ing khusus “Sirah-kanggo-Lowongan” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, antarane topik liya.
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 “gelombang tangan.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington wis contended piyambakipun namung menehi tandha kanggo pembuangan ing akeh sing ditahan iki ora mengkono karusakan apa wae.
“Aku pitutur marang kowe carane wengi sing rampung,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Sejatine, 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, lan aku nyekel bicep kiwa lan tangan kiwa iki arep konco sirahe, ref mandegake perang… Aku iki kaget sing wus tapped amarga, sajujure, Aku sumurup aku wis kathah meksa ing rahang… Yen ing kasunyatan piyambakipun waving, sing nyedot kanggo wong.”
“Ing kahanan sing, Aku khusus elinga Bickford looking ing kula, Aku ngadhepi munggah, kang arep kanggo sandi gulu lan aku waving,” Said Boyington. “Everybody wiwit nggero nyata banter lan Aku elinga Bickford matur, 'Ora Bruce, sampeyan ora bisa ngomong sing '… Yen sampeyan mikir sing aku ngajokake utawa aku ing alangan utawa ora bisa ambegan, you don’t tell the fighter, “Sampeyan ora bisa ngomong sing,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Aku weruh akèh iku beda sing Yohanes wis ngandika online, lan akèh iku wong liya wis ngandika, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Sadurunge Boyington menehi munggah maneh, many felt he had been winning that first round. Pancen, 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.
“Pesti, Aku Yohanes bakal wis kalah metu,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Aku ora mikir aku badhe ngirim wong, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Aku yen ref durung mungkasi ing wektu, nalika aku ana ing rahang karo lengen lan aku iki sik njongko konco gulu,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Dadi, Aku ora mikir kang bakal wis musna kanggo babak kapindho.”
Ing dina, minggu lan sasi ingkang perang, 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,” loro atlit kena apa tegese rematch kanggo wong-wong mau, lan apa kang kudu mbuktekaken akhir minggu teka.
“Aku mung ora bisa teka ing kono lan ngalahake John,” Said Boyington. “Malah pembuangan dhewe sing dikarepake sing… Aku bisa ora mung ana ing 13 Juniand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Aku ngerti sing, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, amarga lengen liyane ora malah apa sapunika… 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.”
“Ing gati kanggo Bruce pagawean kula cepet, lan nggawe gampang, lan dudu gawe kuatir bab perang kakehan, Aku mung nemokake iku sopan kaya akèh iku kang ngandika marang aku, kulawarga lan kanca-kanca,” replied Raio. “Ana kaping sawise perang pungkasan nalika wong padha congratulating kula (ing Facebook) 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. Dadi, sawise aku ngandika 'Bruce lan aku dudu kanca maneh,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… nanging nalika wong disrespect kula kaya kang wis dadi hard kanggo kaya wong.”
