Recently, headliners Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8), Xirfadlaha NEF MMA khafiif Champion, iyo John “Darajada koowaad” Ray(2-7) biiray NEF co-milkiilaha iyo laqabin Matt Peterson ku gaar ah “Madax-ilaa-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, ka mid ah mawduucyo kale oo.
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 “ruxruxo gacanta.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ayaa la murmay in ay ahayd oo kaliya digayaan in taageerayaashiisa in dadkii badnaa in dhufayskii samaynayaan wax kasta oo waxyeello lama.
“Waxaan kuu sheegi kara sida habeenkaas dhamaaday,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Asal ahaan, 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, iyo sidii aan goolka aan muruqiisa bidix iyo gacanta bidix socday madaxiisa ka dambeeya, Garsooraha joojiyay dagaalka… Waan la yaabay in uu taabtay, waayo,, daacad, Waan ogaa in aan cadaadis badan uu daanka… Haddii dhab ahaantii uu ruxaya, in nuugayo isaga.”
“In xaaladda in, Waxaan si gaar ah xusuusan Bickford raadinaya igu, Waxaan ahay waajahaan, uu socday for qoorta iyo inaan ruxaya,” Saciid Boyington. “Qof ka bilowdey ciyaya dhabta cod weyn oo waxaan xusuusan Bickford leh, 'No Bruce, ma waxaad dhihi karaa '… Haddii aad u malaynayso in aan soo gudbinaya ama aan ahay in dhibaato ama ma neefsan karaan, you don’t tell the fighter, “Lama odhan karo in,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Waxaan arki waxyaalo badan oo kala duwan in John ayaa sheegay online, iyo wax badan oo dadka kale ayaa yiri, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”
Ka hor inta aan Boyington kor u siinaya inuu dib, many felt he had been winning that first round. Illeen, 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.
“Ciday, Waxaan qabaa John lagu reebay lahaa,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Uma maleynayo qeybiso waxaan ahay isaga submit, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”
“Waxaan qabaa haddii Garsooraha ma uusan joojin waqtiga, markii aan joogay uu daanka la dhudhun, oo waxaa lagu Waxaan uu gaaray qoorta ka dambeeya,” Ray dhexmarayay, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Sidaas, Uma maleynayo u dhahnaa lahaa aadeen wareega labaad.”
Maalmaha, todobaad iyo bilood ee soo socda dagaalka, 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,” labada ciyaartoyda taabtay waxa ay ku reebeen qeybta ka dhigan tahay iyaga, iyo waxa ay u baahan yihiin si ay u caddeeyaan Isbuucaan soo socda.
“Waxaan kaliya oo aan ku tagi kartaa oo aad ku garaacday John,” Saciid Boyington. “Xitaa taageerayaasha isaga u gaar ah ayaa la filayaa in… Ma aan akhriyi karo oo kaliya in halkaas tago on June 13-and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Waan ogahay in, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, sababtoo ah gacanta kale aan xitaa hadda shaqeeya… 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.”
“In la tixgelinayo Bruce, dhaqso iigu soo dhameysteen, oo sahlaysa, oo aan si dhab ah uga welwel ku saabsan dagaalka oo aad u badan, Waxaan u arkaa in ay ixtiraam sida wax badan oo uu igu yidhi, qoyskeyga iyo saaxiibadeey,” replied Raio. “Waxaa jiray waqtiyo ka dib markii dagaalka la soo dhaafay markii qof ayaa ii hambalyaynaya (on 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. Sidaas, ka dib waxaan ku idhi 'Bruce oo aanan ka run ahaantii saaxiibo dambe,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… laakiin markii ay dadku i ixtiraam la'aan sida uu leeyahay waa adag tahay in jeclaan ninka.”
