Leave a comment

 

Lewiston, Maine (Mey 18, 2016) - On Jona 18, 2016 New England ady (NEF) will return to Lewiston with the fight promotion’s latest fight card, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” A full slate of professional and amateur mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing is planned for the event. Vao maraina androany, NEF announced the addition of an amateur MMA welterweight bout to the fight card. Shawn Bang (1-1) will return to take on Mike Bezanson (1-0) amin'ny ady lanjan'ny 170-kilao.

 

Shawn Bang is a member of the famous Bang family of fighters from nearby Auburn, Maine. Along with his father and brothers, Bang dia mpikambana ao amin'ny Central Maine Breziliana 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 Clan’ in 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.’ Farany, 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 at “NEF 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, Aho hoe iza moa aho – 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 do – and 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! Handresy na very, 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!”

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine ao amin'ny Jona 18, 2016 amin'ny “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 ary amin'izao fotoana izao dia eo amin'ny amidy amin'ny www.TheColisee.com na amin'ny fiantsoana ny Colisée biraon'ny boaty amin'ny207.783.2009 X 525.

WOMEN CONTINUE TO EXCEL IN THE NEF MMA CAGE

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Mey 17, 2016) – Just days removed from hosting a “Ady ny Taona” candidate in Hyannis, Massachusetts between Kylie O’Hearn (1-0) ary Angela Young (1-2), New England ady (NEF) announced that the fight promotion’s cage would host another women’s amateur bout in Lewiston on June 18, 2016. Amin'ny “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” NEF veteran Alex Walker (0-1) returns to the cage to meet newcomer Nicole Burgess (0-0) in an amateur strawweight bout.

 

Walker arrived in NEF in the spring of 2015 to face Randi Beth Boyington (1-3) in what was the cage debut for both women. Just like O’Hearn and Young did this past weekend in Hyannis, Walker and Boyington stole the show at “NEF 17.” They battled tooth-and-nail for three rounds before Boyington took a unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards.

 

Walker is expected to give another “Ady ny amin'ny alina” performance at “NEF 24” after an injury forced her out of competition for the past year. Those who know her, including her coach and teammates at Team Kaze in Lancaster, New Hampshire, say that Walker lives to fight. Being unable to climb into the cage for so long has made Walker more determined than ever.

 

“I can’t wait to fight in Maine again,” exclaimed Walker when reached for comment. “I had an injury last year, a month after my fight with Randi Beth. I am recovered and ready to go. It killed me to be on the sidelines. I feel like I earned some respect and some fans in Maine and I don’t want to lose that. I am sure this girl will be ready, but she won’t be ready for me! Between life’s hardships, surgery, fatiantoka, and whatever else, I will not quit until I am successful! It would mean a lot to me to get my first W in front of the Maine fans on June 18th!”

 

Standing opposite Walker on Jona 18 will be Nicole Burgess. If the name sounds familiar to NEF fans, it should. She is the sister of NEF MMA fighter Ryan Burgess (2-0). Ryan is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. The undefeated streak of the Burgess family in the NEF cage will be on her shoulders at “NEF 24.”

 

Burgess, ny teratany ao Meksika, Maine, wrestled and played field hockey for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine prior to attending Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. While at Mountain Valley, she placed three times at states in wrestling. She currently trains with Berserkers MMA.

 

“I’m excited about this opportunity to finally get in the cage,” Said Burgess. “After seeing my brother win the title at 125, it really amped me up to take this on since I’ve been wrestling with him for years. This will be an opportunity to show people what I’m made of. I’m ready for a fight.”

 

“Women’s fights have stolen the show at three different NEF events in the past year,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “This one will be no different. Women’s fights in MMA are not a novelty. From the regional level right up to the UFC, female athletes are excelling to heights unseen in other sports. The sky is the limit for Nicole and Alex. I can’t wait for this one!”

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine ao amin'ny Jona 18, 2016 amin'ny “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 ary amin'izao fotoana izao dia eo amin'ny amidy amin'ny www.TheColisee.com na amin'ny fiantsoana ny Colisée biraon'ny boaty amin'ny207.783.2009 X 525.

FORMER STATE CHAMPION RETURNS TO BATTLE THE KEN DOLL

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Mey 16, 2016) - New England ady (NEF) returns to Lewiston, Maine on June 18, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing extravaganza, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” NEF executives have announced the signing of a professional featherweight MMA bout to the card featuring Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-2) ary Brandon Bushaw (1-2).

 

Denning is coming off a huge submission victory over Derek Shorey (3-7) this past weekend at “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. The first time the pair met in 2014, it took Denning a mere 2:28 to submit Shorey. Denning topped that performance in the rematch by finishing Shorey in just 37-seconds. The win was a rebound for Denning after back-to-back losses in the NEF MMA cage. Just last month in Lewiston, he was stopped in the first round by Josh Harvey (1-0). Ankehitriny, he will look to make it two wins in a row when he takes on Bushaw on June18.
“I’d like to thank New England fights for giving me another opportunity to show my skills and how hard I have been working,” hoy Denning. “This is my third fight in eight weeks. After fighting someone as tough as Josh Harvey, I’m prepared to battle with anyone. I’m going to keep the fight in my hands and dominate on the feet, tolona, or if it hits the ground. Bushaw is an experienced fighter and is going to bring it fast. I’m looking forward to it and extremely confident with staying in the win column.”

 

Brandon Bushaw won state championships in wrestling for Westbrook High School in 1998 ary 1999 miaraka amin'ny mitambatra firaketana ny 73-3 for those two seasons. He went on to wrestle at Michigan State with former Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Light Heavyweight Title Holder Rashad Evans (24-5-1) as a teammate.

 

Recent years have seen Bushaw relocate from Maine to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where he trains at Fitness Edge MMA. He has made the trip back home to the Pine Tree State to compete for NEF on four separate occasions. Bushaw’s last appearance on an NEF card was in the fall of 2014 against Elias Leland (2-1). It was Bushaw’s only loss to date in his home state of Maine. The upcoming fight with Denning will see Bushaw move up in weight from the 135-pound bantamweight division to the 145-pound featherweight division.

 

“I am beyond excited to return to my home state of Maine and fight under the NEF banner for the fifth time,” exclaimed Bushaw. “I am making the move up to 145, where I intend to stay for the rest of my career. That is, mazava ho azy, if my sole loss in Maine will accept a rematch – I would gladly make the cut to fight Eli Leland again at 135! I am making this trip with ‘The Fearless One,’ ‘The Titanium Warrior,’ Amos Collins! I look up to Amos as a mentor, a friend, and one ballsy motherf$%ker! I can’t wait to put my fist on ‘Ken Doll’s’ face, and blow him a kiss when he wakes up!”

 

NEF returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine on June 18, 2016 amin'ny “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” Tickets for “NEF 24” start at just $25 ary amin'izao fotoana izao dia eo amin'ny amidy amin'ny www.TheColisee.com na amin'ny fiantsoana ny Colisée biraon'ny boaty amin'ny207.783.2009 X 525.

NEF CAGES THE CAPE ON MAY 14 WITH THRILLING FIGHT CARD

Leave a comment

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Mey 6, 2016) – It will be no day at the beach, but they might just leave some blood on the sand. New England ady (NEF) plans to storm Cape Cod on Asabotsy, Mey 14, 2016 with the first-ever mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event to be held on the popular tourist destination. The northeast’s top regional fight promotion will pack up its cage in one week and make the 200-mile trek south from NEF’s base of operations in Lewiston, Maine to the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC).

 

The attention the event has received has been staggering. “The Cape Cod community has welcomed us with open arms,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “The HYCC is a great venue with an awesome staff. Patti Lloyd at the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has been a huge help in making this event happen as well. And we have some fantastic new sponsors on the Cape like Bodystrong Fitness who have helped us spread the word.”

 

Tokoa, the word has spread and ticket sales have been so strong, and demand so overwhelming, that the promotion had to order more chairs and tickets when cageside inventory sold out last week. “The fans were asking us to add some more cageside seats, so we happily accommodated them,” noted DiSalvo.

 

And fight fans in attendance will be treated to a night filled with wild cage action. The card is stacked with world class wrestlers and martial artists from Maine, Cape Cod and Massachusetts’ South Shore. Hyannis-based Team Juniko will be prominently featured in no less than six of the evening’s bouts.

 

Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) of Juniko is scheduled to make his professional MMA debut in the heavyweight main event, locking horns with Mike “The volombava” Hansen (4-3). Battles was a three-time All American wrestler out of nearby Nauset Regional High School where he won two state championships and three New England championships. Izy no 2-0 as an amateur MMA fighter. Hansen has a wrestling pedigree of his own, having captured a state title for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Hansen is a ten-year-plus veteran of the MMA cage.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature a rematch from “NEF 15” tamin'ny Novambra 2014. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-6) will look to avenge a loss to Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (2-2). Shorey’s supporters have claimed for the past year-and-a-half that Denning’s submission victory was a fluke and that Denning would not be able to defeat Shorey a second time should the pair ever meet again. Those claims will be put to the test in Hyannis in this lightweight rematch.

 

“It was a short notice fight that NEF asked for, and I know Derek wanted a rematch,” hoy Denning. “After I beat him again, I’ll prove it wasn’t a fluke. I wanted this fight so I could get some new fans in Massachusetts and show my skills. I have had two losses in a row to great guys and want to get back in the win column.”

 

“I thought I could beat him the first time, and he caught me with an armbar,” Shorey admitted. “This time I will leave that cage the victor.”

 

“It’s one of those fights we always get asked whether there will be a rematch,” nilaza NEF mpiara-tompon'ny sy matchmaker Matt Peterson. “This will finally prove, once and for all, whether Matt Denning got lucky coming up with that armbar that night. Whatever you do, don’t blink! These two guys are finishers. Whatever the outcome, it’s not going to the judges. Someone’s getting knocked out or submitted in this one.”

 

In another pro fight, longtime NEF mainstay Crowsneck Boutin (1-2) will take on another promotion regular in the form of Ruben Redman (0-0). The bout will be Redman’s professional debut after six amateur fights with NEF in Maine. Boutin is a prolific striker based out of the Choi Institute in Portland. The fight will take place at the middleweight limit of 185-pounds.

 

The amateur headliner will see Dustin Veinott (4-4) in a flyweight showdown with Ryan “Razzle Dazzle” Kane (4-3). Veinott is the former NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. He dropped the title in a very close split decision loss to Ryan Burgess (2-0) tamin'ny Novambra. Kane, from Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a member of Team Juniko and an accomplished competitor in the ancient Greek martial art of Pankration.

 

A women’s fight will be prominently featured on the amateur card. Angela Young (1-1) no voatondro mba hiatrika Kylie O’Hearn (0-0). Young is coming off a big win just two weeks ago against Hannah Sparrell (1-1) amin'ny “NEF 22” ao Lewiston. O’Hearn, another product of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Team Juniko, will be making her amateur MMA debut. The fight will take place at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

Young’s teammate Victor Irwin (1-0) will make the five-hour road trip along with her from Bangor, Maine to compete in Hyannis. Irwin will square off with newcomer Tracey Schryba (0-0) in the amateur light-heavyweight division.

 

Brewster’s Ed Forlenza (0-0) makes his amateur debut against Frank Johanson (0-1) in a 160-pound catchweight bout. Forlenza is a 2004 graduate of Nauset Regional High School where he was a standout on the wrestling team. Johanson’s opponent pulled out of their bout on fight day two weeks ago at “NEF 22.” Not one to let a good fight camp go to waste, Johanson agreed to take the fight with Forlenza in Hyannis.

 

In another 160-pound catchweight bout, Steve Bang (3-4) maka amin'ny Fabian Miranda (2-0). Bang is a member of the famous father-sons fighting family of Auburn, Maine. Miranda represents Team Juniko and will look to add to his undefeated record in the fight with Bang.

 

Rounding out the fight card is a 190-pound catchweight bout featuring Anthony Spires (0-1) ary Thomas Lee Davis (1-0). Spires, an independent fighter from Maine, hopes to rebound from a loss in his debut last fall at “NEF XX.” Davis is a member of Team Juniko.

Battles made his NEF debut earlier this year at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” when he efficiently dispatched of Mike Hansen’s Berserkers teammate, Dave Smith (2-2) in the first round via TKO ref stoppage. Battles trains out of Gracie Fitness and is a member of Team Juniko based out of Hyannis.

 

“I look forward to Mike coming down to my backyard for my first professional fight,” said Battles. “I know he is a tough fighter, but I look forward to showcasing the skills I have acquired thus far as I continue my journey to become a well-rounded MMA fighter.”

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. Hansen has become known for taking tough fights against opponents that he is generally undersized next to. Less than two weeks ago, he defeated former top-tanked amateur light heavyweight Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-2) via first round submission at “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE.” Always up for a challenge, Hansen requested the opportunity to face Battles in his highly anticipated professional debut.

 

“I like this fight because I get to fight in Massachusetts again,” stated Hansen. “I made my pro debut at Club Lido at the ‘Wonderland’ Blue Line stop just over a decade ago. I rode the ‘T’ from Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 tamin'ny fihodinana voalohany. Jumping up two weight classes sucks, but I’ve competed at this weight many times. Battles is a very accomplished athlete with a stacked resume. With only three minutes of cage time, I think it’s time Battles was in the cage with someone ready to fight. I will gladly welcome Battles to the professional ranks and see how he stacks up. I’m going to stand right in front of him and make him beat me up and, if he can, dia tsara ny mpiady. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. On May 14faha-, we will have a fight my friend!"

Pronabolin User Review: Boosting Testosterone Naturally

Leave a comment

By: Rich Bergeron

richbeforeafter

I recently had the opportunity to take a testosterone booster called Pronabolin, which is an all-natural product. As a logger with my own firewood company (www.deadwoodsociety.com), I could always use more energy and muscle, but that wasn’t the only reason I realized I needed more testosterone.

This year I am preparing for my debut in mixed martial arts as an amateur fighter. I will be adding Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and more dynamic striking to my background training in karate, boxing and wrestling. There are also certain rules I will need to observe in the amateurs forbidding elbows of any kind and all knees to the head. This training requires great strength, stamina and self-control.

Prior to learning about Pronabolin and trying it, I was a huge critic of older mixed martial artists using so-called TRT: Testosterone Replacement Therapy. There was just so much controversy around the subject, and the health benefits were still questionable when exemptions were allowed for the treatments. Prescribed testosterone treatments were popping up in those common commercials asking people who took the drugs and suffered severe consequences to contact a lawyer and get justice for the damage done. Heart attacks and deaths were among the most urgent “side effects” of the more potent products.

Izany, when Pronabolin promised to provide the same testosterone boost with natural ingredients (Zahao etsy ambany), I gave it a shot.

supplemental facts

Notice the suggested use line above. This is the one and only issue I had with this product, and I hope they will look into changing their labels in the future. The instructions tell adults to “handray 3 capsules once a day.” I would counter that by advising users to take one capsule with breakfast, one at mid-day or lunch and the other in the afternoon or early evening. Taking all three at one time as my introduction to the product gave me a very discomforting surge of energy and made my heart beat a mile a minute. I quickly adjusted my intake after that to one or two capsules at a time.

My chief concern with training was shedding weight, and this product helped tremendously in that department. I started out around 205-210 pounds and am able to maintain walk-around weight of 195 amin'izao zava-misy izao. This is just ten pounds away from where I hope to have my fighting debut at: 185 kilao. Prior to using Pronabolin, I had a really hard time with my metabolism being too slow and gaining too much weight. Using the product faithfully everyday helped my metabolism catch up, and the digestive benefits seemed to be the most pronounced effect of all.

One of the more surprising and pleasant developments I experienced while taking Pronabolin related to my love life. Deciding to take on a mixed martial arts match was just part of my campaign to change my life for the better in all the most important categories. I simply wanted to be a stronger physical, spiritual, mental and social being.

I began searching for dates a bit before I started taking Pronabolin, and I already had a wild appetite for sex and great stamina before taking the product. Izany, while I didn’t really NEED help, Pronabolin actually took me to the next level as a lover. Once I did find the right lady and started getting serious, the lovemaking became more and more intense, more frequent (five or six times in one night at times), and always very satisfying for myself and my partner. I definitely noticed how Pronabolin could take me to a higher sexual plane and keep me there, and so did my new lady friend.

Meeting the woman of my dreams and finding out she loved our time in bed as much as I did also came with other benefits. She lives near a mixed martial arts gym where I can train, and she also has a friend with a dog who loves to go on long hikes with me. She is even on a weight loss quest of her own, so us meeting when we did was absolutely perfect timing.

I can definitely say that Pronabolin truly changed my life. It is no gimmick or placebo, and it WORKS! I hope to continue training harder and harder as my debut fight gets closer, and Pronabolin will be a huge part of that training regimen.

It is important to note that my first phase of using the product did not involve taking all three pills each and every day. I was also dealing with multiple sicknesses during the standard cold and flu season in New England. This had a severely negative effect on my training routine, as just when I seemed to be in a good rhythm, sickness knocked me out of it over the last two months in particular. Perhaps I need to look into some supplements to boost my immune system as well. The bottom line is, this was not a very scientific product review process. I took Pronabolin in a manner that many common users will likely be able to relate to.

During the next phase of my training I will be using Pronabolin more as a formal building block for the transformation of my physique. As of now I have more of a four pack set of abs than a six pack, and even that’s not very pronounced and defined. My chest is also in need of some more toning and shaping.

Before I step into the cage across from another combatant, I feel that it is essential for me to develop the best physical appearance I can possibly present. I want the crowd and my opponent to know I’m a serious contender, and that starts with showing off all the results of all the hard work that leads up to fight night.

Amin'izao fotoana izao, I can unequivocally say that Pronabolin helped prove to me that all testosterone treatments are not dangerous or detrimental to an athlete’s long term health. The product also helped provide natural energy, boosted my metabolism, and gave me a new lease on my sex life.

I give Pronabolin five stars, and I look forward to entering the next phase of training and sharing the results here and on our YouTube Page.

I will track my progress and performance more closely during this next phase, and I will open up my training to the public eye to really highlight how Pronabolin can help anyone wanting to improve their physique and quality of life.

If you have any experience with this product you can share, please leave a comment and tell us about what Pronabolin did for you.
