Reigning NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion Johnny Artizanat (4-0) will come up in weight to challenge Caleb Hall (7-3) for Hall’s NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title.

 

Caleb Hall was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. He would go on to wrestle for Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, as well as the University of Southern Maine. La “NEF 22” this past spring, Hall captured the vacant featherweight title by submitting Erik Nelson (2-3) în al doilea tur. In the upcoming bout with Crafts, Hall will be looking to not only retain his title, but to also gain a measure of revenge against Crafts who defeated Hall’s teammate Henry Clark (3-2) toamna trecuta.

 

Johnny’s making a big mistake coming up in weight trying to take my belt,” said Hall. “I will avenge my teammate, Henry Clark, and put him away early.

 

Johnny Crafts is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). As mentioned, Crafts defeated Henry Clark of the Choi Institute last fall to claim the amateur bantamweight title. Pe Septembrie 10, Crafts hopes to make history by becoming the first competitor to simultaneously hold two championships in two different weight divisions.

 

I’m honestly just excited to get in there and have a brutal, fun fight,” said Crafts. “It’s going to be a guaranteed war versus Caleb. It’s less focus on cutting weight at 145 for me and more on the training camp. I’m going to be the most technical and strong I have ever been for this fight.

LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Bangor, Maine (Iulie 30, 2016) - Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor atNEF Presents Dana White: Lookinfor a Fight.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, to say the least. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “RedneckMundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. De fapt, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Said Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

evenimentul următor Luptele New England ', „prezintă NEF Dana White: Looking for a Fight” are loc vineri, August 5, 2016 la Cross Insurance Center din Bangor, Maine. Biletele sunt în vânzare acum la www.CrossInsuranceCenter.cu sau prin apelarea la box-office 800.745.3000.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR TOP MAINE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Bangor, Maine (Iulie 29, 2016) – Devin Powell was enjoying an evening off from his demanding life as a mixed martial arts instructor and fighter.

He was surrounded by food that probably isn’t on his normal training menu. There were celebratory beverages to fit the loud music and party atmosphere at Xfinity Center, the outdoor concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Somehow, Powell heard his phone ring, or felt it vibrate in his pocket. The impending conversation altered his day-after plans considerably.

Powell accepted a return engagement with Jon Lemke at “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight,” to be held Vineri, August 5 Cross Centrul de Asigurări în Bangor.

“I found out my good friend Jesse Erickson got hurt,” Powell said, “and they asked me to fill in. I said ‘of course.’ Anybody representing UFC, never mind Dana White, if you ever have a chance to fight in front of them, it’s something you want to do if you’re able. It should be a nice, intimate setting.”

Powell (7-1) is the NEF lightweight champion, having secured the strap with a technical knockout of Erickson at “NEF 22: All Roads Lead Here” in April. Lemke (5-5) lost to previous champion Bruce Boyington in a bid for that belt.

The fight will take place five pounds above the lightweight limit at a catch weight of 160.

“It’s a huge opportunity,” said Lemke, who lives in neighboring Brewer. “I’m very grateful. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of probably the most influential person in MMA.”

Their bout is one of eight professional skirmishes to be showcased in front of White, a native of nearby Hermon, and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra. The trio travels the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Neither man is known to shy away from the spotlight. Lemke stopped Erickson at Bellator 93 in Lewiston two years ago. Powell pushed his winning streak to five with a split-decision triumph Iunie 17 over Tommy Marcellino on the World Series of Fighting stage at Foxwoods.

“I know they’re probably here to watch the guys in the main event,” Powell said of White and his entourage, “but I plan to put on a show that they won’t be able to sleep on. With my fighting style, very aggressive and unorthodox, I believe I definitely will get their attention. This sport is a lot about getting the right opportunity and taking advantage of it.”

When asked if he perceived any edge because Powell took the fight on three weeks’ notice, Lemke politely pointed out that he only began preparing for Erickson two weeks prior to that.

Lemke lost to Josh LaBerge pe Iunie 10.

“I only had a couple extra weeks to prepare. I was still training, but that’s all. I was in pretty good shape but not in fight shape,” Lemke said. “It’s one of those things where they ask you and you’re like, ‘Oh, unul, I really want to do this, but.’ It’s just too big an opportunity not to. It’s not necessarily ideal, but as a fighter, absolutely you’re looking for that challenge, and Devin is one of the best guys in the game around here.”

He learned that first-hand, and in resounding fashion, when the two fighters previously clashed on May 10, 2014. Powell prevailed via choke-out in only 23 secunde.

That setting was Lemke’s comeback fight after his abrupt withdrawal from a title match against John Ortolani eight months earlier.

“It didn’t go very well last time. There were a lot of distractions and different circumstances for me leading up to that fight. I had to pull out of a title fight before that, which you never want to do. Three-quarters of the battle for me was just getting back in the cage,” Lemke said.

“I’m a completely different fighter now,” he added. “I think I’ve progressed everywhere, not just with my skills but with the approach I take. I’ve had quite a few fights and I’ve learned from both the wins and the losses. You always learn. Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

Lemke and Powell each enter the cage for the fourth time in less than a year. That activity is the reason neither man feels uneasy about accepting such a stern challenge after an abbreviated training camp.

In Powell’s case, fighting is simply a natural extension of his everyday life as owner and head instructor at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

“I’m grateful for everything I have. I have a 4-year-old daughter and she likes to come to the academy and train jiu-jitsu,” Powell said. “I have a pretty amazing life. I only have to teach, train and fight. A lot of people don’t get more than a couple hours with their kids every night. We sacrifice a lot for this sport. People only see the 15 minutes of hell. They don’t see everything else.”

Powell is pleased to represent NEF for only the third time in his blossoming career.

“NEF is one of the biggest promotions in the country. They make superstars out of guys from Maine,” Powell said. “I fought for World Series of Fighting, and I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking them, but it was a much smaller show. NEF has a huge following, and now you see them going places like Cape Cod and Bangor, and that can only grow it even more. They do it right, and I’m glad to be able to step in there for them.”

Lemke faces the added pressure of fighting in front of not only White but his hometown fans from the Bangor area.

Many of them are not accustomed to the four-hour round trip for his encounters in Lewiston.

“A fight is still just a fight, and the next fight is the biggest fight regardless. You never know who could be there watching or what could happen as a result,” Lemke said, suggesting that he is more concerned with his opponent. “Devin is a phenomenal fighter. He has a great skill set. He’s highly touted and he has a great record to back it up. It’s definitely the challenge of a lifetime for me. He’s also a great guy outside the cage. I get along with him well. I think we respect each other.”

Powell confirmed those suspicions, although he reiterated that his objective is nothing less than another decisive victory.

“He’s a good guy. I don’t have to go to that deep, dark place. I understand that my job is to hurt someone so badly that the referee has to step in to save his life. It’s a beautiful, violent sport. I respect anyone who has the courage to get in there with the same goals as me,” Powell said. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. E agresiv. He comes to fight. I like to do the same things. The first fight was short-lived. If I’m able to repeat that, I’m sure Dana White will be happy.”

Young AMM a HOME CÂMP AVANTAJ august 5 ÎN BANGOR

Bangor, Maine (Iulie 28, 2016) – Delegația dedicat din Young MMA din Bangor savura, de obicei, reputația lor ca războinici rutier în lupte New England.

Lewiston este lung stabilit ca orașul hub pentru organizarea, desen concurenți și spectatori din ambele direcții, pe Turnpike Maine. Luptători și fanii din valea râului Penobscot constată că a rămâne angajat pentru acele carduri de lupta de patru sau cinci ori pe an, necesită un angajament mai mare decât majoritatea.

Numai pentru a doua oară în istoria sa, promovarea regională va aduce cușca la Queen City. „prezintă NEF: Dana White Lookin` pentru o luptă“este programat pentru vineri, August 5 Cross Asigurare Center.

lui Young, sala de sport situat la doar câteva blocuri distanță de la 127 Hammond Street, va sărbători prin prezentarea unuia dintre luptători săi în patru din cele opt crize profesionale programate. testat-Battle Ryan Sanders și nou-venite Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey și CJ Ewer toate sunt gata pentru a lua cea mai buna lovitura lor cu ajutorul unui răgușit, mulțimea de partizani.

„E cea mai interesantă parte pentru mine, fiind de la Brewer. M-am dus la Brewer High School,“A spus Lacey. „A fost cu siguranță un imens, remiză mare pentru mine, văzându-l în persoană. M-am dus la lupte de când FEN a venit la Darling Waterfront Pavilion (Iulie 12, 2013) și tot ce am putut gândi este, 'Om, Vreau să fac acest lucru.“Acesta a fost un obiectiv al meu pentru o lungă perioadă de timp„.

Sanders (10-7) va lupta Derrick Kennington (11-7) într-un conflict de lightweights abila, care va fi pe atracțiile prezentate pe rol.

Cele trei fiecare a ieșit victorios grajdul în singurul lor meci pro precedent. Lacey se va bloca cu John Santos (3-3) din Derry, N.H., într-o luptă pană. Harvey are o programare la categoria pană. Cană de apă, care a câștigat un meci de amatori la sala de concerte în aer liber din Bangor, va fi testat de Ruben Redman (0-1) într-o însemnare categoriei semi-mijlocii.

Chiar și cu numeroși prieteni în prezență, cei patru bărbați știu că este prezența UFC președinte alb, care a crescut în apropiere Hermon, care ar putea avea ramificatii schimbare de carieră.

„Este o mare oportunitate. Este minunat sa stii ca cineva ca asta va fi în clădirea de pe noapte lupta,“A spus Sanders. „Dar pentru mine este doar o altă luptă. Nu vreau să fii prins în tot ceea ce. Doar lăsați-l să se desfășoare.“

Alb și cohorte Din Thomas si Matt Serra de călătorie țara în căutarea de talente nedescoperite MMA într-un reality show care este difuzat pe pagina YouTube White precum și UFC Fight Pass pe baza de abonament transmis în direct serviciul video.

Da, Maine conexiuni ale antreprenorului sunt bine documentate. Alb, de asemenea, a adus anterior UFC Fight Night 47 Bangor. piscina Talentul lui Young suspectează că cel mai recent eveniment este mai mult decat un caz White a aruncat un os la baza sa de origine, totuși.

„Sunt recunoscător că el o aduce aici. Sunt sigur că vizionat filmul din FEN în timpul liber. El trebuie să vadă ceva în NEF că îi place, în scopul de a face acest lucru,“, A declarat Harvey. „Nu mă face mai nervos. Sunt emoționat pentru că. Voi încerca să pună deoparte ca toate și să se concentreze pe sarcina la îndemână.“

Sub tutela coproprietarii Chris Young și Ernie Fitch, aproximativ cinci sau șase profesioniști și un ciclu de duzină de amatori prin sala de sport, în orice tabără de antrenament dat.

„Patru dintre noi luptă, doar arată că suntem cea mai buna sala de sport în zona. Trei dintre noi sunt neînvinsă. Suntem producătoare de știfturi. Oamenii văd că și doresc să se antreneze cu cei mai buni tipi care acestea le pot,“A spus Sanders. „Noi cu siguranță împinge reciproc. Ai tipi care a lovi cu piciorul în fiecare zi fundul. Ne dorim ca cel mai bun pentru fiecare alte. De asta suntem aici.“

Harvey se așteaptă ca numărul și angajamentul să crească după vizita White. El a fost de formare la Young timp de trei ani. Scaunul lateral cușcă, la malul mării, l-au inspirat să-și intensifice propriul său regim de formare. Este un built-in avantaj, Harvey remarcat, care a aparținut aproape exclusiv la Lewiston până în prezent.

„Asta e ceea ce a început devine majoritatea oamenilor. Ei merg și să văd luptele și pe care doresc să-l încercați,“, A declarat Harvey. „De aceea vedeți locuri ca Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) și First Class MMA (Topsham) în creștere atât de mult. Luptele sunt chiar acolo, în curtea lor.“

Lacey caracterizează lui Young ca „o sală de gimnastică plină de ucigași.“

Statisticile subliniere punctul Lacey. Cele trei argumente pro cu înregistrările fără cusur a câștigat toate lor de debut în două minute sau mai putin.

„Ryan a plecat doar la o decizie cred că o singură dată în cariera sa. E un finisor. Josh a câștigat lupta lui de supunere în primul tur. CJ este super puternic,“A spus Lacey. „M-au provocarea de a fi cel mai bun pot fi în fiecare zi. Ei păstrează-mă, nu sa concentrat doar în sala de sport, dar în jocul vieții în afara cuștii „.

Deși el se confruntă cu un adversar cu mult mai mare experienta, Lacey se așteaptă o adrenalină papură de ajutor de a avea atât de multe fețe familiare de la spate.

"Este diferit. M-am luptat Cred că de șapte ori în Lewiston între lupte amatori și debutul meu pro,", A spus el. „Acest lucru îmi dă o șansă de a fi în zona mea de confort. Și o mulțime de fanii mei nu se poate face acolo jos. Până când îți dai în călătorie, prețul biletelor, Poate rămân peste noapte, ei pur și simplu nu pot face acest lucru.“

Harvey a fost de acord, subliniind că este lupta inițială pentru care nu are nevoie să împacheteze o valiza.

„Aceasta va fi prima dată când am dormit în patul meu cu o noapte înainte de o luptă. Cred că este un avantaj imens,“, A declarat Harvey. „Unii oameni ar putea crede, cu mai multe dintre fanii acolo că există o presiune mai mare, dar cred că doar se acumulează.“

GLOVER VACATES; A NEW LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED AT NEF 25

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mixt-martiale-arte (MMA) amateur light-heavyweight title. The months to come would see Glover accept a new job that would take him up and down the East Coast. With little time to train to defend the title, and in the interest of doing right by the division, Glover recently made the difficult decision to relinquish the championship.

 

NEF executives were quick to act. Mai devreme astăzi, the fight promotion announced that Victor Irwin (2-0) would meet Nick Shea (2-0) to fill the vacancy. The two undefeated athletes are scheduled to face-off to determine a new light-heavyweight champion at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” peSeptembrie 10, 2016 în Lewiston.

 

Irwin was a standout wrestler at Brewer High School in Brewer, Maine at 195-pounds where he was a Class-A state champion. His love for the sport is so strong that when Irwin attended Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) and learned the school did not have a wrestling program, he created one himself. As a college freshman in 2014 Irwin went to Nationals and achieved All-American status. He currently trains out of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

 

I’ve thought a lot about this fight and I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what I say,” said Irwin, “it matters what I do, and come September 10thyou’re gonna see some serious doing.

 

2015 was a great start to the MMA career of Nick Shea. In February of that year, he won his debut fight over the much more experienced Jacob Cameron (1-5) prin primul tur knock-out tehnic. Later in the year, Shea would go on to defeat Ruben Redman (0-1) by decision in a hard-fought contest. It would earn Shea a nomination for the “Rookie of the Year” în 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Pe Septembrie 10 în Lewiston, Shea will attempt to become the first member of the First Class MMA fight team to capture gold in the NEF cage.

 

It’s an honor to fight someone from Young’s MMA,” said Shea. “I believe this will be my biggest test in the cage to date. I’m grateful and excited to compete for the amateur light heavyweight title. Victor and I will put on an exciting fight on Sâmbătă, September 10th!”

 

evenimentul următor Luptele New England ', "NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, Septembrie 10, 2016 la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. Bilete încep de la doar $25 și sunt în vânzare acum la www.TheColisee.com sau sunând la box-office Colisée la 207.783.2009 x 525.

MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST

Mike Hansen

Lewiston, Maine (Iunie 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, oriunde, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.

No surprise, apoi, that the 30-year-old father of three from Rumford, ME will gladly entertain the idea of a mixed martial arts contest … against an opponent about whom he admittedly knows precious little … on the eve of Father’s Day.

Hansen (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Promised Land” on Sâmbătă, Iunie 18 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

There is no fear of the unknown in a man who has carved out his reputation confronting substantially bigger foes since his days as a state champion wrestler at Mountain Valley High School. During his relatively short time in NEF, Hansen has fought as a middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.

“When I took the fight (at NEF 23 in Massachusetts) against Brendan Battles, people were saying, ‘You’re crazy! He’s going to bust your head!’ I understand why the weight classes exist, and I respect that it’s about safety and all that, but I’ve always felt that a fighter should be ready to fight anybody, no matter what,” Hansen said. “In high school, I would drink two gallons of water and put lead in my uniform just so I could get to the minimum weight for the unlimited class.”

That’s the attitude of a fighter whose skill and talent level far exceed his current record as a professional.

Hansen’s docket includes a stoppage win over former NEF “Fighter of the Year” Crowsneck Boutin. His record also includes TKO losses to Battles and Cody Anderson and a choke-out at the hands of Zach Elkins.

When he reflects upon his unique life story, Hansen, who fought twice for the World Fighting League as a 20-year-old college student, marvels that he ever got back into the cage at all.

“I started the winter of 2004-05. I started training because I had gone from 187 pentru 242 pounds in a few months. I was seeing stretch marks,” Hansen recalled. “I was pretty upset with myself for allowing that to happen. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu two nights a week to get in shape. Then I went home for the summer and ended up with my first fight in August. My friends got me the fight without my coaches knowing about it. They told me it was a good thing I won, or they would have kicked my butt.”

Hansen kept a promise to his father to quit the sport after a knockout loss to Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. He was studying at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, with intentions to enter the medical field.

He was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat by three men in a case of mistaken identity not long thereafter. “I walked out of the hospital the next day, and all three of them were still in there from the beating I gave them in self-defense,” Hansen said proudly.

That dogged determination served Hansen well in the United States Army, where he studied in the elite Combatives program.

“They ask you ‘Who wins the fight?’ and the answer is, ‘Whoever’s buddy gets there first to help him clean up.’ That’s what Combatives taught me: How to survive that extra 30 pentru 60 secunde,” Hansen said. “Work ethic is what it taught me. It helped me grow and do things I might have questioned mentally whether or not I could do. Not many people find that extra little motivation. The Army taught me how to find it and utilize it.”

A few years later, Hansen found that inner fire again. Even as he returned to coaching wrestlers in his hometown, his own physical fitness suffered as work and fatherhood took precedence.

Hansen vividly describes sitting in a bean bag chair, eating snack food, watching TV at 2:11 a.m. when his phone rang. He assumed it was a friend in trouble.

“It was (NEF co-owner) Matt Peterson. Our families grew up maybe 200 yards apart. My high school wrestling coach had called him, unbeknownst to me, to tell him he needed to get me back in the cage,” Hansen said.

Three weeks later și 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.

In 15 months that have followed, Hansen has been instrumental in launching Berserkers MMA and building his reputation as both a fighter and an instructor.

Life is blossoming at home, also. Hansen is the father of two girls, vârstele 5 și 2, and a boy of four months. His older daughter, Kaydn, often accompanies Dad to the gym at Greater Rumford Community Center. He returns the favor by chaperoning field trips for her kindergarten class.

“She and her friends will be on the playground practicing boxing stances and stuff,” Hansen said. “Her teacher says it’s adorable. Hopefully she is learning to take care of herself so I don’t have to.”

Kaydn’s parents are making plans to take her to her first live NEF show after she turns 6. Pentru acum, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.

“If we’re watching TV together,” Hansen said, “we have a thing where I get two shows and then she gets two shows. If I put in a fight tape, she’ll say, ‘Daddy, I know this doesn’t count as one of your shows, because this is your work.’”

Clopotul deschidere Iunie 18 este setat pentru 7 p.m. Tickets for “NEF 24: Promised Land” start at $25 și sunt disponibile la www.TheColisee.com sau sunând la box-office Colisee la 207.783.2009, extensie 525.
