RICHARD OM LIGTIGE TITEL OP DIE LYN TE PLEEG TEEN CORSON TE NEF 43

Februarie 21, 2020 FNU47 Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Orono, Maine (Februarie 19, 2020) - New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende gemengde-vechtkunsten aan (Plaasmoorde) by die Collins Centre for the Arts op die vlagskip Orono-kampus van die Universiteit van Maine.

Hulle sal aan die liggewigkampioenskapsgrens van 155 pond in 'n wedstryd vir vyf rondes van drie minute.

Richard het die destydse vakante kampioenskap in November verlede jaar in Portland gewen, Maine met 'n eenparige besluit oorwinning oor die "Magic" Mike Murray (3-2). Hy is nie vreemd aan titels nie, nadat hy in 2015 'n stoei in Maine State vir die Hoërskool Massabesic in Waterboro gewen het. Die oorwinning was 'n geweldige tweede jaar in die kooi vir Richard as die opvolger van sy 2018 “Rookie of the Year” -seisoen. Die laaste keer dat Richard op die verhoog van die Collins Center baklei het, in September 2019, hy het 'n kwaai uitklophou van Erik Tainter behaal (0-2). Die slam het in die loop van sy jong loopbaan 'n handtekening vir Richard geword. Hy is 'n produk van Nostos MMA van Somersworth, New Hampshire, waar hy onder die UFC-veteraan en die voormalige NEF Professionele liggewigkampioen Devin Powell oefen (10-4).

'Devin kan sê wat hy wil oor my titel op die regte tyd,'' Sê Richard. 'Hy het aangebied. Hy het dit. Ongelukkig vir hom, hy het die mees gemotiveerde Zac wat nog ooit was. Ek voorspel hierdie stryd, al, om 'n wonderlike een te wees. ”

Gepraat van slams, daar is miskien geen atleet wat ooit meer hoogtepunte in die NEF-hok gelewer het as die uitdager Devin Corson nie. Soos Richard, Corson bring 'n sterk stoeibasis saam met hom na die MMA-wedstryd, nadat hy 'n opvallende deelnemer aan die Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft op die matte was, Maine. Corson ry tans met 'n tweestryd met 'n eenparige oorwinning oor albei Jacob Deppmeyer (nou 1-0 as 'n pro) en Taylor Bartlett (2-3-1) in 2019. Hy verteenwoordig die Outlet gebaseer in Dexter, Maine.

'Ek dink nie veel aan Zac nie, behalwe dat hy in my pad is,”Het Corson gesê. 'Hy is die man wat ek moet verslaan om die reg te kry 155 gordel. Na alles word gesê en gedoen, Ek sal die een wees met my hand opgelig. ”

As champions, both have taken on all challenges and have succeeded in every opportunity. I look forward to watching them continue their careers with us.”

With impressive victories over **Valerie Letourneau** en **Veta Arteaga**, Macfarlane was the focal point of Bellator’s debut in Hawaii last year and returned to Hawaii with a submission win over **Kate Jackson** die afgelope Desember. A proud graduate of Honolulu’s Punahou High School in 2009, Macfarlane later attended San Diego State University, where she would go on to earn her Master’s degree in liberal arts and science with a focus on indigenous issues – a subject she remains passionate about, recently launching “The Ilimanator Scholarship” for indigenous girls.

BELLATOR MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION RAFAEL LOVATO JR. RELINQUISHES TITLE DUE TO ONGOING MEDICAL ISSUES

Februarie 11, 2020 FNU47 Skryf 'n opmerking

**LOS ANGELES** – Following the medical complications that were publicly disclosed by **Rafael Lovato Jr.** (10-0) late last month, the Bellator middleweight champion has decided to relinquish his 185-lb world title. The unbeaten Lovato Jr. defeated former champ Gegard Mousasi to win the title at *Bellator 223* in London on June 22, 2019.

“My journey with my team and family to become the Bellator middleweight world champion was incredible and something I will cherish forever,” said Lovato Jr. “I dreamed of having a long reign as champion, but sometimes life has another plan. Bellator has been very supportive during this difficult process, a situation that has never really happened before in our sport. I know the division must move on while I am on the sidelines and I wish everyone great fights on their way to that belt. I will be working to come back if it is possible – and if not, life will continue to be amazing for me and I look forward to working with Bellator in another fashion.”

“This has been an incredibly challenging time for Lovato Jr., his team and his family at home,” said Bellator President Scott Coker. “He is a true warrior of the sport and I cannot say enough about him for making such a difficult decision. His health is the priority for us and we will continue to work with him on addressing the next steps in his career.”

Bellator will announce plans for the vacant middleweight title in the coming days.

Boucher, who most recently held the NEF Amateur Flyweight Championship with an amateur record of 6-3, was determined to make his pro debut at “NEF 42” despite the Fox pullout. NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to quickly confirm a replacement opponent in the form of Caterino.

“I was incredibly disappointed when Norman pulled out against me—especially considering all the smack he talked to get the fight in the first place—but what a relief that I’ll still be able to be part of such a groundbreaking, historic NEF card,” said Boucher. “I’m so grateful that I get to make my pro debut in such a beautiful venue as the Merrill Auditorium. Respect to Chris for stepping up on short notice to take this bout. I will be doubling down in my preparation efforts during the next two weeks to make a statement on February 8th and leave no doubts that I belong in the pro ranks with the best in the region.”

Chris Caterino is a longtime veteran of the New England MMA scene, having made his amateur debut in 2010. Although he is taking the fight on short notice, Caterino has been very active of late and will, geen twyfel, be prepared for Boucher. One week ago, Caterino submitted Joey Sanchez (0-4) in the first round of a bout in New Hampshire. It was his third fight in a nine-month stretch. Caterino represents Gate City MMA of Nashua, New Hampshire where he trains with New England MMA legend Nuri Shakir (18-21).

“I’m excited to make my NEF debut,” said Caterino. “I look forward to a great night and plan on getting the ‘W.’”
