LACEY SE ENFRENTARÁ A BELLATOR VETERAN EN NEF 28

 

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 7, 2017) – Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) presenta su próximo evento de artes marciales mixtas “NEF 28: INVENCIBLE” en sábado, Abril 29, 2017 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine. El día de hoy, la promoción de peleas anunció la adición de una pelea profesional de peso pluma a la cartelera. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (4-0) ha firmado a cara Walter “Todo el dia” Smith-Cotito (4-5) con un peso de pelea de 145 libras-.

Aaron Lacey, invicto como profesional, ha ganado siete seguidos volviendo a su carrera amateur. Estaba preparado para competir en “NEF 27” mes pasado, pero la Madre Naturaleza tenía otros planes cuando una tormenta de nieve impidió que su oponente hiciera el viaje a Lewiston desde Florida. El contratiempo ha hecho que Lacey tenga aún más hambre de volver a la acción, pero el destacado de Young en MMA sabe que tiene su prueba más difícil hasta la fecha frente a él en la forma de Cotito..

“Esta va a ser una pelea increíble.,” dijo lacey. “Walter es un oponente habilidoso y peligroso., y él es, de manera realista, una de las personas más peligrosas con las que he luchado hasta la fecha.. Eso está bien conmigo – cuanto más duro es el oponente, cuanto más duro trabajo. Después de lo que pasó en febrero, Me muero por volver a entrar.”

La pelea por Cotito representará una especie de partido de goma con los oponentes de Young. en la primavera de 2013, Cotito se llevó a Ray Wood (8-3) profundo en la tercera ronda antes de Wood, entonces el destacado prospecto de peso pluma de Young, fue capaz de terminar la pelea. Cotito ganaría una medida de venganza contra el gimnasio Bangor cuando sometió a Bruce Boyington (14-10) en “NEF X” mas adelante en ese año. Entre un par de apariciones recientes para la promoción de lucha global Bellator, Cotito anotó una sumisión de segunda ronda de Elias Leland (3-2) en “NEF 25” septiembre pasado.

“Estoy súper emocionado de pelear contra este chico del que todos están hablando.,” exclamó Cotito. “Tiene mucho potencial, siguen diciendo – bueno, esto solo lo hace más emocionante para mí! Nadie ha visto al verdadero Walter Cotito en la jaula todavía. No te pierdas esta pelea porque 'All-Day’ viene por ti!”

I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round. My next fight, Quiero Andrey Koreshkov. He is one of the best and Bellator’s former champion. I think I will win that fight, which will put me right in line with Douglas Lima siguiente.”

They are so incredible. I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.

FNU Combat Sports Show Featuring Ivan “La Bestia” Baranchyk

Juan “La Bestia” Baranchyk (15-0, 10 KOs) joins the broadcast tonight to talk about his recent war on ShoBox with Abel Ramos (17-2-2, 12 KOs). Baranchyk launched an incredible effort in the later rounds to hand Ramos his second professional loss and establish himself as a spirited, tough-as-nails brawler. Some experts claimed the fight was one of the most entertaining bouts in the 17-year history of the ShoBox series. Tom, Tony and Rich discuss the fight, other highlights of Ivan’s career, and get Baranchyk to explain how his early start in Jiu Jitsu eventually led him to the Sweet Science. The 24-year-old is already solidifying his legend, which explains why he points to “Hierro” Mike Tyson as one of his role models in the sport of boxing.

 

Tom, Tony and Rich also discuss the latest Mayweather/MacGregor news, an odd suspension of an MMA fighter for going after his opponent’s corner man, the calling off of Chris Brown vs. Soulja Boy, and Roy Jones Jr. re-establishing his goal of fighting Anderson Silva in a boxing match (he now wants it to be on the Mayweather/MacGregor undercard).
