Vao haingana, headliners Bruce “Manja Boy” Boyington (10-8), ny NEF MMA Professional maivana Tompon-daka, ary John “Kilasy voalohany” Ray(2-7) nanatevin-daharana NEF mpiara-tompon'ny sy ny matchmaker Matt Peterson tamin'ny manokana “Head-to-Lohan'ny” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, amin'ny lohahevitra hafa.
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 “tanana onja.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington miady fa izy nidika fotsiny ny mpankafy azy tao amin'ny vahoaka fa amin'ny batery fiarovana tsy manao na fahasimbana.
“Afaka milaza aminao fa tapitra alina,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Raha tsorina dia, 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, ary tahaka ny noraisiny ny ankavia bicep sy ny ankavia nandeha ambadiky ny lohany, ny ref nitsahatra ny ady… Gaga aho nahita fa efa Tovozina satria, ny marina, Fantatro fa nanana betsaka ny tsindry eo amin'ny valanoranony… Raha ny marina dia nanofahofa, izay sucks ho azy.”
“Amin'izany toe-javatra, Aho mahatsiaro manokana Bickford mijery ahy, Aho hiatrika ny, dia mitranga noho ny vozonao, ary aho nanofahofa,” Said Boyington. “Olona rehetra tena mafy manomboka mierona ary tsaroako Bickford nanao hoe:, 'No Bruce, tsy afaka milaza fa '… Raha mihevitra fa hanaiky aho na azom-pahoriana aho, na dia tsy afaka miaina, you don’t tell the fighter, “Tsy afaka milaza izany,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Aho mahita zavatra maro samy hafa izay Jaona efa nilaza an-tserasera, ary maro ny zavatra hafa ny olona manao hoe:, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Talohan'ny Boyington manome ny ny indray, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tokoa, 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.
“Tsy maintsy, Mino aho fa i Jaona dia efa nisy nandondòna avy,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Tsy mino aho iany aho hanaiky azy, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Mihevitra aho fa raha tsy hijanona ref tamin'ny fotoana, Fony izaho teny an ny valanoranony miaraka amin'ny forearm sy hahatratra aho ambadiky ny vozony,” Ray manombatombana, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Izany, Tsy mino aho izany fa efa lasa ho any amin'ny fihodinana faharoa.”
Tamin'ny andron'i, herinandro sy ny volana manaraka ny ady, 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,” na mpanao fanatanjahan-tena nanohina amin'ny zavatra ny lalao miverina dia midika ho azy ireo, ary izay mila ho avy hizaha toetra io faran'ny herinandro.
“Fotsiny aho dia tsy afaka hiditra any, ary nokapohiny John,” Said Boyington. “Na ny mpankafy miandry fa… Tsy afaka hiditra any fotsiny amin'ny Faha-13 Jonaand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Fantatro izany, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, fa ny hafa tsy sandry na dia miasa amin'izao fotoana izao… 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.”
“Amin'ny momba ny Bruce nahavita ahy haingana, ary manao izany mora, ary tsy tena manahy momba ny ady be loatra, Vao mahita izany tsy nanaja toy ny zavatra maro ny nilaza tamiko, ny fianakaviako sy ny namako,” replied Raio. “Nisy fotoana taorian'ny ady farany, rehefa fiarahabana olona ahy (amin'ny 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. Izany, rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao hoe: 'Bruce, ary izaho dia tsy tena namana intsony,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Fa raha tsy manaja ahy ny olona toy izany dia efa sarotra ny toy ny lehilahy.”
