“Ons lei ons krygers op om sterk emosionele reaksies te onderdruk ten spyte van teenspoed, om fisiese en emosionele pyn te verdra, en oorkom die vrees vir beserings en die dood. Die weermag kan nie die intensiteit van daardie kondisionering verlaag sonder om die weermag van ons weermag negatief te beïnvloed nie. Dit is 'n Catch-22.

Ons moet ons krygers weer leer oor wat die sukses vir hulle bepaal.”

JONG'S MMA HET TUISVELDE VOORDELE OP AUGUSTUS 5 IN BANGOR

Bangor, Maine (Julie 28, 2016) – Die toegewyde afvaardiging van Young se MMA van Bangor hou gewoonlik van hul reputasie as vegkrygers in die New England Fights.

Lewiston is lank gevestig as die middestad vir die organisasie, trek deelnemers en toeskouers uit albei rigtings op die Maine Turnpike. Vegters en aanhangers uit die Penobscotriviervallei vind dat vier tot vyf keer per jaar vir daardie vegkaarte verloof is, groter toewyding verg as die meeste.

Vir die tweede keer in sy geskiedenis, die plaaslike bevordering sal sy hok na die Queen City bring. “NEF bied aan: Dana White Lookin 'for a Fight' word beplan vir Vrydag, Augustus 5 by Cross Insurance Centre.

Young se, die gimnasium is net 'n paar blokke verder geleë 127 Hammondstraat, sal vier deur een van sy vegters in vier van die agt geskeduleerde beroepswedstryde ten toon te stel. Slaggetoets Ryan Sanders en relatiewe nuwelinge Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey en CJ Ewer is almal gereed om hul beste skoot te neem met die ondersteuning van 'n skelm, partydige skare.

'Dit is die opwindendste deel vir my, afkomstig van Brewer. Ek het na Brewer High School gegaan,'Sê Lacey. 'Dit was beslis 'n reuse, groot trekking vir my, persoonlik te sien. Ek het geveg toe NEF by Darling's Waterfront Pavilion kom (Julie 12, 2013) en al wat ek kon dink, is, Die mens, Ek wil dit doen. 'Dit was al 'n lang doelwit van my.'

Sanders (10-7) sal teen Derrick Kennington veg (11-7) in 'n botsing van lelike liggewigte wat by die gewilde besienswaardighede op die dak sal wees.

Sy drie stalmate het elk gewen in hul enigste vorige pro-wedstryd. Lacey sal saam met John Santos sluit (3-3) van Derry, N.H., in 'n veergewig stryd. Harvey het 'n afspraak met veergewig. Ewer, wat 'n amateurwedstryd op die buitelugkonsertlokaal in Bangor gewen het, sal deur Ruben Redman getoets word (0-1) in 'n weltergewig afval.

Selfs met talle vriende wat bywoon, die vier mans weet dat dit die teenwoordigheid van White UFC-president is, wat in die nabygeleë Hermon grootgeword het, wat gevolge vir loopbaanveranderings kan hê.

'Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid. Dit is ongelooflik om te weet dat iemand soos 'n bakleiery in die gebou gaan wees,'Sê Sanders. 'Maar vir my is dit net nog 'n geveg. Ek wil nie in alles vasgevang raak nie. Laat dit net ontvou. ”

Wit en kohorte Din Thomas en Matt Serra reis die land in die strewe na onontdekte MMA-talent in 'n realiteitsprogram wat op White se YouTube-bladsy uitgesaai word, sowel as op die UFC Fight Pass-inskrywinggebaseerde gestroomde videodiens.

Ja, die Maine-verbindings van die entrepreneur is goed gedokumenteer. White het ook voorheen UFC Fight Night gebring 47 aan Bangor. Young se talentpoel vermoed dat die jongste byeenkoms meer is as net 'n geval dat White 'n been na sy tuisbasis gooi, egter.

'Ek is dankbaar dat hy dit hierheen gebring het. Ek is seker hy het in sy vrye tyd film uit NEF gekyk. Hy moet iets sien in NEF waarvan hy hou om dit te doen,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Dit maak my nie meer senuweeagtig nie. Ek is opgewonde, want dit. Ek gaan probeer om dit alles opsy te sit en op die taak te fokus. ”

Onder toesig van mede-eienaars Chris Young en Ernie Fitch, Ongeveer vyf of ses professionele persone en 'n dosyn amateurs fiets deur die gimnasium in enige gegewe oefenkamp.

'Vier van ons veg, dit wys net dat ons die beste gimnasium in die omgewing is. Drie van ons is onoorwonne. Ons produseer studs. Mense sien dit en wil oefen met die beste ouens wat hulle kan,'Sê Sanders. 'Ons druk mekaar beslis. Julle het ouens wat elke dag u gat skop. Ons wil die beste vir mekaar hê. Daarom is ons hier. ”

Harvey verwag dat die getalle en toewyding sal groei ná White se besoek. Hy oefen al drie jaar by Young's. Die hok se sysitplek by die waterkant het hom geïnspireer om sy eie oefenprogram te verhoog. Dit is 'n ingeboude voordeel, Harvey het opgemerk, wat tot nou toe byna uitsluitlik aan Lewiston behoort het.

'Dit is wat die meeste mense aan die gang kry. Hulle gaan kyk na die gevegte en wil dit probeer,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Daarom sien jy plekke soos Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) en Eerste klas MMA (Topsham) groei so baie. Die gevegte is daar in hul agterplaas. ”

Lacey karakteriseer Young's as ''n gimnasium vol moordenaars'.

Die statistiek beklemtoon die punt van Lacey. Die drie prosesse met ongeplakte rekords het almal hul debuut gewen oor twee minute of minder.

“Ryan het net een keer in sy loopbaan besluit wat ek dink. Hy is 'n afwerking. Josh het sy stryd gewen in die eerste ronde. CJ is super sterk,'Sê Lacey. 'Hulle daag my uit om die beste te wees wat ek elke dag kan wees. Hulle hou my gefokus, nie net in die gimnasium nie, maar ook in die spel buite die hok. ”

Alhoewel hy 'n teenstander met aansienlik groter ervaring in die gesig staar, Lacey verwag dat 'n nuttige adrenalienstormloop soveel bekende gesigte agterop sal hê.

'Dit is anders. Ek het in Lewiston sewe keer baklei tussen amateurgevegte en my prodebuut,"Het hy gesê. 'Dit gee my die kans om in my gemaksone te wees. En baie van my aanhangers kan dit nie daar benut nie. Teen die tyd dat u op reis is, die prys van die kaartjies, miskien oornag, hulle kan dit net nie doen nie. '

Harvey het ingestem, en daarop gewys dat dit die aanvanklike geveg is waarvoor hy nie nodig gehad het om 'n tas te pak nie.

'Dit is die eerste keer dat ek die aand voor 'n geveg in my eie bed geslaap het. Ek dink dit is 'n groot voordeel,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Party mense dink miskien dat daar meer druk by jou aanhangers is, maar ek dink dit bou jou net op. ”

“NEF bied Dana White aan: Op soek na 'n geveg ”vind plaas Vrydag, Augustus 5, 2016 by Cross Insurance Centre in Bangor, Maine. Kaartjies is te koop nou op www.CrossInsuranceCenter.met of deur die loket te skakel by 800.745.3000.

BURGESS SIBLINGS READY TO BATTLE AT NEF 24

Lewiston, Maine (Junie 16, 2016) – As the only girl in a rough-and-tumble household with three older brothers in Mexico, Maine, Nicole Burgess learned how to fight for pride, for respect, sometimes even just for fun.

Sometimes such sibling rivalries are a challenge and burden. In Nicole’s case, egter, the arrangement furnished three built-in fans and best friends. And the closest bond of all naturally formed with the family’s youngest boy, Ryan, exactly one year and three days older than his sister.

“We were born pretty much back-to-back,” said Ryan Burgess, the pride becoming perceptible in his voice. “She’s always been tough. She’s really strong, just very athletic.”

Ryan, 22, has backed up his three high school championships as a wrestler with a pair of impressive mixed martial arts wins and the New England Fights amateur flyweight title.

Not to be outdone, multi-sport athlete Nicole, 21, finished fourth against primarily male competition in the state wrestling meet her sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. She has carved out a successful college field hockey career at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

Similarly accomplished, so close in age, rarely seen apart from one another in childhood, Ryan and Nicole’s athletic and life stories remain intertwined as young adults. Nicole will follow her brother into the NEF cage on Saterdag, Junie 18, making her debut against Alex Walker (0-1) in a 115-pound women’s bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.”

Anybody who grew up with a brother or a sister probably can imagine the good-natured ribbing that has taken place in training camp.

“He thinks I’m probably going to want to throw up,” Nicole said with a laugh.

Ryan, who will defend his strap on the same card against Dustin Veinott in a rematch of their split-decision title tilt from November 2015, knows there is no substitute for experience in the cage.

Although he was one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the history of his proud community, Ryan discovered in his first two cage confrontations that the variety of skills and size of the crowd at an MMA event demanded a quantum leap.

“You don’t know what to expect,"Het hy gesê. “Before my debut, I had never been in a fight in my life. I thought I had, but I really hadn’t. I told myself ‘It’s just another wrestling match,’ but it’s not.”

Burgess stuck with what he knew best and ground out a unanimous decision over Justin Witham in June 2015.

He was introduced as an independent. His studies at Kennebec Valley Community College interfered with his training schedule, and Burgess’ coaches at Berserkers MMA didn’t want him representing the stable until he spent a full cycle under their watchful eyes.

The same night, he scouted out Veinott’s win over Norman “Sleepy” Fox and felt that he compared favorably to both fighters. He proved it in a championship setting five months later, albeit by an on-paper verdict that most cage-side observers felt could have gone either way.

After struggling to find an opponent worthy for the title shot in his weight class, Burgess was eager to extend Veinott (4-4) a second chance.

“I’ve already been in the cage 18 minute, which is more fight time than a lot of guys who’ve been in four of five fights can say they’ve had,” Ryan said. “I’m completely confident now with the venue, die ondersteuners. The only person I hear now is my coach.”

He doesn’t even hear Nicole, although little sister was so enamored with the environment as a spectator that she couldn’t wait to resume her own combat sports career.

“I always watched UFC and stuff like that,” she said. “I actually started boxing before Ryan even got into it.”

Nicole donned the gloves in high school after giving up softball. In sixth grade, she made a similar transition from basketball to wrestling after waiting for a ride home, watching one of Ryan’s grueling mat practices and deciding that it looked fun.

“It was weird at first. I didn’t want to touch the guys,” Nicole said. “Then you heard things like, ‘Oh, it’s just a girl.’ Often times the guys would be stronger, but I had good technique.”

Walker brings experience, in the form of a loss to Randi Beth Boyington, and a tough stand-up game.

Speaking with the typical subtlety of a big brother, Ryan said that Nicole “should be OK as long as she doesn’t get kicked in the head.”

He quickly noted that she has the poise and talent to enjoy a successful debut if she can shake off the requisite whirlwind of emotions.

“As long as she can put together everything she’s learned. You have to overcome the nerves and the adrenaline dump,” Ryan said. “I remember that from my debut. It stunk.”

Nicole said she would like to end the fight early but predicted that it probably will go the distance.

Her brother aims for his first stoppage and forecasts that his improved striking will catch Veinott and everyone else by surprise.

“Up until now, I was focused on school, just graduating in May, and trying to get my career started,” Ryan said. “I was working 40 hours a week for free as an internship and working 20 more hours on the weekend trying to make ends meet. Dustin is going to see a completely different fighter this time.”

Die opening klok op Junie 18 is vir 7 namiddag. The current docket includes five pro boxing fights, four pro MMA bouts and eight amateur MMA skirmishes. Tickets for “NEF 24: Promised Land” start at $25 en is beskikbaar bywww.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009, uitbreiding 525.

COMBAT SPORTS GIVE BEZANSON DIRECTION AFTER FAMILY TRAGEDY

Lewiston, Maine (Junie 13, 2016) – Combat sports gave Mike Bezanson (1-0) direction. They also helped him cultivate the relationship with his father that he always coveted but could never seem to grasp.

Nou, on the eve of Father’s Day, less than a week past the four-year anniversary of his dad’s untimely death, Bezanson is poised to take another step in the career that was their shared dream.

Bezanson, 21, van Lancaster, N.H., returns to the New England Fights hexagon to take on Shawn Bang (1-1) of Auburn, Maine, in a welterweight bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.” Their amateur bout is one of the many attractions on theSaterdag, Junie 18 card at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

“I think this fight is going to be good for me, because I’ll be able to show my skills against an opponent with more in-cage experience than I have,” Bezanson said. "ook, the fact that Junie 18 is the day before Father’s Day makes this a sentimental and emotional fight for me.”

The encore comes almost a year to the day after Bezanson stopped Jeff Dustin (0-1) by technical knockout via strikes in his mixed martial arts debut on June 13, 2015. Bang has split his first two verdicts in the NEF cage.

Bezanson’s showboating, stick-and-move style drew mixed reviews from the large crowd that witnessed his rookie effort. Some booed the relative lack of action, perhaps suspecting that Bezanson was toying with an overmatched opponent.

It was all part of his plan to relish the moment and take advantage of the opportunity.

“Truthfully we had a game plan to get experience,” Bezanson said. “If I have any thoughts of going pro, I need to get as much experience as I can. If you go in there and knock a guy out in 10 sekondes, don’t get me wrong, you got a knockout and that’s great, but you’re not learning what it takes to get comfortable on the other side of that 10 sekondes. You don’t know how much energy you’re going to need.”

Bezanson never lacked energy, or personality, from childhood. He describes himself as a young man who never got into any serious trouble, and never experimented with drugs or other disorderly conduct, but one who freely challenged authority.

He gravitated to the boxing ring as a freshman in high school. It gave him direction. It also provided a foundation for the on-again, off-again relationship with his father, Jamie.

“Before I took up boxing, my dad wasn’t really involved much in my life. He would come and go, jy weet, for personal reasons,” Bezanson said. “When I started boxing, we got really close. Boxing and racing were his things. He would tell anybody and everybody that I was boxing and how proud he was, and that meant a lot to me.”

Jamie Bezanson never had the chance to watch his son develop as a fighter. Op Junie 15, 2012, during annual “Bike Week” in Laconia, his motorcycle crossed the center line and struck another vehicle.

The elder Bezanson succumbed to his injuries. Hy was 37.

“I lost it for a while. I stopped boxing. Geestelik, I was just in a very emotional place,” Bezanson said. “Then right next to my house, Kaze Dojo opened up. Ek het gesê, ‘That’s something I could do.’”

Bezanson began training in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Greg Williams. He proved himself a natural talent, winning the gold medal in his debut at the Vermont Open.

Then came the natural progression to MMA, where his stand-up skills proved too difficult for Dustin to defend. Bezanson commanded the cage with the poise and surgical precision of a veteran.

“I’m a pretty confident guy all around. I really wasn’t that nervous. I figure why be scared if you’re prepared and you’ve put in all that training?"Het hy gesê. “Ninety percent of fights are lost before you even get into the cage. If you let the emotions get to you, you’re not going to perform to the best of your ability.”

Bezanson suffered a catastrophic knee injury in training shortly thereafter. He has spent most of the past year recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL and meniscus.

Once he returned to the gym, Bezanson spent much of his time focused on his evolving ground game. It should be tested royally by Bang, a former high school wrestler from a renowned regional fighting family.

“Striking is definitely one of my strengths. I’m a lanky dude, and I try to use that to my full advantage,” Bezanson said. “But I’ve worked really hard on my ground game in training. I didn’t really get a chance to show it in my first fight, but I know I will this time.”

Bezanson sees his second foray into the cage as the true beginning of what he hopes will be a prolific career.

In addition to the many fans who will make the four-hour round trip from the North Country to watch him, Bezanson knows he will have one special set of eyes in his corner.

“Boxing taught me a lot of discipline. MMA is the same thing. People can use it however they want, but that’s what it does for me,"Het hy gesê. “It’s something I like to do and something that I know makes my father proud all at the same time.”

INTERNATIONAL FLAIR ADDED TO LEWISTON BOXING CARD AS IRELAND AND MEXICO RENEW RIVALRY

Lewiston, Maine (Junie 7, 2016) – In an international boxing match-up, Ireland’s undefeated Steve Collins, Jr. (7-0-1, 3 Uitklophoue) will face his stiffest test yet as a pro when he takes on Mexico’s Jose Humberto Corral (19-21, 12 Uitklophoue) in a six-round cruiserweight fight on Junie 18, 2016 at The Androscoggin Bank Colisée. The bout will take place as part of New England Fights’ (NEF) volgende byeenkoms “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.

 

Collins, Jr., the son of former world champion and Irish boxing legendThe Celtic WarriorSteve Collins (36-3, 21 Uitklophoue), will be fighting in the United States for the third consecutive time after having each of his first six fights in Ireland and Great Britain.

 

I’m happy to be back over in the States fighting,” said Collins, Jr. “The crowd and the fans have really seemed to enjoy my fighting and style that I bring to the boxing world. I’ve been training hard at the Celtic Warriors Gym here in Ireland, and I’m looking forward to putting my knowledge to use in the ring. My next opponent has got a lot of fights under his belt, but I’m looking forward to giving him another loss.

 

Jose Humberto Corral is a former amateur standout on the Mexican national team who has made a career as a pro as a journeyman giving solid tests to future world champions like Peter “Kid Chocolate” Quillin and regional prospects like Chris Traietti, Vinnie Carita and Paul Gonsalves.

 

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to fight Steve Collins in Maine,” said Corral recently through a translator. “Sure he’s an undefeated prospect and son of a former world champion, but I’ve got way more ring experience, and you can’t teach that. If I had a peso for every time I got beat up by the son of a former world champion, I would have zero pesos. I look forward to showcasing my skills in the same building Muhammad Ali fought in and leaving with all the American boxing fans looking forward to me coming back.

 

Collins Jr. is promoted by Murphy’s Boxing USA, a boxing organization headed by Ken Casey of the popular rock band The Dropkick Murphys who are well known for hit songs likeI’m Shipping up to Boston,” “The State of Massachusetts” en “Skinhead on the MBTA.

 

It’s wonderful to be able to have Steve Jr. here so often,” said Ken Casey when reached for comment from Cork, Ireland during the band’s latest European tour. “This will be his third fight here in the States in less than a year, and we are all excited to see where it goes from there. He’s proven that he can step out of his father’s shadow and legacy, and make a career and name for himself. It’s going to be interesting to see where he ends up in another year from now, but we’re all excited to be part of his journey, and seeing what Steve Jr. can do.

Shawn Bang is a member of the famous Bang family of fighters from nearby Auburn, Maine. Along with his father and brothers, Bang is 'n lid van Sentraal Maine Brasiliaanse Jiu Jitsu- (CMBJJ). It has been nearly three years since he last competed in the NEF MMA cage. Bang has spent the last two years serving as a missionary in accordance with his Mormon faith. Finally back home and reunited with both his natural family and gym family, Bang is ready for his return to the cage.

 

After two years of amazing missionary service, I cannot begin to express how excited I am to reunite with my CMBJJ brothers,” Said Bang. “I have only spoken with my own family on Christmas and Mother’s Day, and to have the opportunity to rejoin the ‘Bang Clanin battle on June 18th is a fitting reunion. Since childhood our father has always told us, ‘The first rule of brothers is to stick together.’ Uiteindelik, it will be me alone in the cage to battle my opponent but it is family, both immediate and extended, that gets me there and beyond.

 

Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Mike Bezanson debuted in the NEF MMA cage one year ago atNEF 18.Early in the fight, it became evident that his opponent that evening, Jeff Dustin (0-1), was outmatched against the Team Kaze product. Although Dustin hung in there for almost two full rounds before the referee stopped the fight, Bezanson put on a striking clinic that left his opponent bloodied. Bezanson took his time and looked like a cat toying with its prey. Some in attendance saw his performance as showboating, while others were impressed by his pinpoint striking. Like it or not, no one could deny that Bezanson provided the entertainment that night.

 

I received a lot of mixed reviews from my debut fight at NEF,” recalled Bezanson. “Staying true to myself, Ek is wie ek is – in and out of the cage. I love to entertain, keep people on their toes. Some might say my style of fighting is cocky and unorthodox, but it’s who I am, what I doand I’m comfortable fighting that way. It is in no way meant to belittle or disrespect my opponent, it’s merely a technique. I have a great deal of respect for all fighters, trainers and fans. One of the reasons I train to fight is the self discipline. I push myself to be the best I can be and I love to compete! Wen of verloor, I take away whatever I can from the experience to better myself and grow. You know what they say, ‘There’s no losing, you either win or learn.I’m excited to get in the cage in June, and put all my hard work to the test! It’s going to be an entertaining show!”
