Deixe um comentário

Lewiston, Maine (Março 4, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número um promoção luta regional da América, irá realizar o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS CONDUZEM AQUI” em Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine. O card da luta contará com uma mistura de artes marciais mistas (MMA) e lutas de boxe profissional. Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cartão da luta. Matt “Ken boneca” Denning (2-1) vai se reunir Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) com um peso de luta de 150 quilos.

 

Lewiston’s Matt Denning is coming off the first loss of his professional career this past November against Jon Lemke (5-4). Prior to that defeat, Denning was riding a four-fight win streak, all four of those wins coming by way of submission. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Denning acknowledges personal issues have existed in the past between he and Harvey, culminating in a cageside confrontation between the two athletes at the close of “NEF XV” na queda de 2014.

 

“I’m honored to have been asked specifically for this fight,” disse Denning. “Josh is the 155 ammy champ and is an amazing fighter. I’m excited to watch him continue his career as a pro and move up to the top of the professional rankings. We had some personal issues between the two of us because of a poor decision I made, and I hope with us fighting it will clear the air and I’ll be able to cross train with him and Young’s MMA. We gotta give the fans what they want and this is what they wanted. I look forward to seeing everyone April 23rd.”

 

The bout will indeed be the professional debut for Harvey after an amateur career in which he went 5-1. He is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, a title which he will now vacate as a professional. Harvey capped off his amateur stint with a highlight reel knockout over Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-4), a victory that solidified his position as the northeast region’s top-ranked amateur lightweight. Harvey is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. He recently signed a long-term NEF developmental deal.

 

“I’m feeling blessed to be a signed professional cage fighter,” diz Harvey. “I’m one step closer to my goal and April 23rd I’ll take another. I’ve wanted a chance to fight ‘Ken Doll’ ever since I met him – he is just one of those guys. I’m thankful for the opportunity.”

 

“One thing is very clear in this matchup – Josh and Matt don’t like each other,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “There is some deep, pent-up frustration that has been percolating between these two for a long time – and on April 23rd, the cork comes out. It’s going to be spectacular.”

ALBUQUERQUE, N.m. (Fevereiro 15, 2016) – The second annual World MMA Association (WMMAA) Pan-American Congress, recently held at The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce in Albuquerque, New Mexico, was a major success by all standards.
(L-R) — WMMAA Pan-American president Tomas Yu, MMA superstar
Jon Jones and legendary coach Chris Luttrell
“The Pan-American Movement”, as it was named, brought together sports, turismo, and education for a common goal with more than 12 participating countries.
The Congress provided a rare opportunity for the entire WMMAA Pan-American family to collaborate with special partnerships like The Albuquerque Hispano Chamber of Commerce e The Mexico Consulate in Albuquerque, University of New Mexico Global Education Department. PANAM Members, representatives of National Federations, Commissions, Association and the Organizing Committee of the WMMAA Pan-American Championship (OCPC), as well as athletes, treinadores, mídia, sponsors and other stakeholders to meet and discuss issues of importance to the entire MMA movement.
In his closing speech to the Congress, Pan-American Division President Tomas Yu paid tribute to the excellent collaboration between Pan-American members.
“If you asked me to sprawl a couple of times, I would most definitely need some nitro coffee from Villa Myriam before I run out of breath, followed by the guaranteed use of Sore No More,” Yu disse. “But when it comes to fighting for our youth, for our MMA global goals – for cleaner competition, for a healthier, more peaceful and more flourishing SPORT – I will sprawl-jab-cross-kick like a champion. I will sprint the steepest trail in the Sandia Mountains. I will never stop until we raise our hands by victory. I am counting and exhorting all involved in the MMA industry to join us. We must go for the KO.”
Over the course of the three-day Congress and 13-day PANAM Camp, there were special guest such as Legacy Champion Damacio Página, former UFC champion Jon “Ossos” Jones e Carlos Condit. Participants heard from many respected speakers such as Health Committee Director Curt Chavez from eVOLV Strong, Hector Molina, Director of PANAM Regulatory Committee and Director of PANAM Medical Committee, Dr. Justo Pavia. The congress had interesting discussions on the following themes: atletas, 2016 Expo MMA, structure of the “WMMAA Pan-American Movement”, global officials’ license and database, new era of Digital Sports Marketing Revolution, eo 2016 Campeonato pan-americano.

Each day was divided in two general sessions with a half-day devoted to Rules and Regulations discussions for PANAM. The plenary sessions were followed by three simultaneous breakout sessions on respective sub-themes.

All sessions were live-cast over the internet to allow the general public to hear discussions as it happened.
Two sessions began with presentations from a panel of speakers. The moderators of each panel were then responsible for the ensuing discussion period, which gave participants an opportunity to voice their opinions on issues. The main points from each session were carefully recorded by“ENLACE” – the new exclusive WMMAA correspondent program – to inform the Editorial Committee of the discussions at the end of each day. The final document reflected the main ideas to come out of the proceedings in Albuquerque, as well as information collected through the virtual WMMAA Pan-American Congress, allowing the WMMAA Pan-American family and public to submit written contributions.
The mission of the 2016 WMMAA Pan-American Congress was to bring together sports, tourism and education for a united front and review the status of the WMMAA PANAM Movement in today’s evolving global society. Information was gathered and opinions sought regarding its future, in addition to providing structure, guidance, proposals and recommendations to all constituents and other stakeholders of the WMMAA PANAM Movement for its structured showcase and harmonious development within the global youth community.
O 2016 WMMAA Pan-American Congress was a great success and has left the WMMAA Pan-American Movement with a blueprint for the future. It is now time, mais uma vez, for the PANAM family to translate words into action: We are the Future of MMA!

GLOVER AND WILLIAMS TO FACE OFF FOR NEF GOLD

Deixe um comentário

Lewiston, Maine (Fevereiro 1, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número um promoção luta regional da América, irá realizar o seu próximo evento, "NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” this Sábado, Fevereiro 6, 2016 no Colisee Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (MMA) e lutas de boxe profissional. Hoje cedo, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. Ryan Glover (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.

 

Antes de competir no MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

 

Ano passado, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. Agora, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.

 

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, porque, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. Williams, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) em Auburn, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"Co-proprietário NEF declarado e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, agressivo, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”

 

próximo evento 'New England Fights, "NEF 21: Os imortais,” takes place Saturday, Fevereiro 6, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine. Tickets for “NEF 21” start at just $25 e já estão à venda no www.TheColisee.com ou ligando para o escritório de caixa em Colisée207.783.2009 X 525.

Hoje cedo, NEF announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s first of 2016.

 

A pair of professional boxing bouts will be featured on the main card of the evening. Joel “Baby Bull” Bispo (0-0-1) returns to action after more than a year’s absence to face MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) in a light-heavyweight four-round bout. Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion Brandon “O Canhão” Baga (10-1) will attempt to make it three wins in a row when he steps in the ring to face undefeated Tollison Lewis (2-0) in a six-round, non-title, super-welterweight contest. Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “NEF XX” em novembro passado.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will be headlined by the long-awaited meeting between Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (12-8) e Jon Lemke (5-3). Dubbed “The Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.

 

The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Jesse “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) assumindo Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight matchup.

JASON Lachance: “Fui abençoado com uma incrível oportunidade”

Deixe um comentário

Lewiston, Maine (Novembro 16, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número um promoção luta regional da América, irá realizar o seu próximo evento, “NEF XX: Uma História de Violência” este Sábado, Novembro 21, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine. O evento contará com uma primeira vez para Maine – mixed-de artes marciais (MMA) lutas e lutas de boxe profissional no mesmo evento com uma gaiola de MMA e um ringue de boxe configurar side-by-side. In a featured lightweight amateur MMA bout, Jason “2nd Possibilidade” Lachance (2-2) vai assumir CJ Ewer (4-2) com um peso de combate de 155 libras-.

 

Lachance está saindo de uma apresentação vitória no primeiro round sobre David Thompson (0-1) em “NEF XIX” this past September. He is confident in his abilities and predicts victory over Ewer when they meet this weekend. While Lachance’s future in the sport appears brighter every day, ele promete não deixar de lado a tarefa à mão e deixar que sua fé cristã guiá-lo através de sua carreira.

 

“Vou bater CJ de qualquer maneira possível,” disse Lachance. “MMA is a sport where anything can happen. I am fully prepared for whatever may come on the 21st. I will focus on my next opponent when this fight is out of my way. Eu não vou esquecer o meu adversário. Deus irá criar o futuro para mim, como ele tem até agora.”

 

Lachance credits his faith and the sport of MMA with helping him conquer his much-publicized addiction to heroin. He began training over two years ago at MMA Athletix in Bath, Maine, onde ele também entrou para a Igreja ministério vitória do então proprietário da academia Ryan Cowette (2-3).

 

“Fui abençoado com uma incrível oportunidade, and I couldn’t be more grateful. The fight game is the highest of highs and lowest of lows. Os momentos mais marcantes da minha curta carreira não ter vindo de dentro da gaiola, mas de aprender e crescer dia a dia como homem e como um lutador.”

 

Recentemente, Lachance e companheiro de equipe Norman Fox (4-2) purchased the MMA Athletix gym from Cowette after Cowette decided to redirect his focus to his roofing business. When the challenges of small business ownership reared its head, Lachance mais uma vez deixa sua fé guiá-lo.

 

“Adquirindo o ginásio foi um grande momento para ambos Norman e eu,” afirmou Lachance. “Tivemos que sentar e avaliar realmente o que queríamos fora de nossas carreiras, and also out of our business. We quickly realized that with full time jobs, não temos tempo para estar treinadores, trainers, fighters and business owners and still expect to succeed. We prayed on it and God sent us the perfect team of coaches and trainers, juntamente com um novo grupo de combatentes para cima e próximos.

 

“MMA já mudou a minha vida de muitas maneiras. Espero que para levá-lo ao topo, como proprietário de uma empresa e como um lutador. Deus me deu a oportunidade de viver o meu sonho, dia após dia.”

 

Lutas da Nova Inglaterra’ próximo evento, “NEF XX: Uma História de Violência,” acontece neste sábado, Novembro 21, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine.
