Bellator 222: MACDONALD VS. GRACIE MAIN CARD SET WITH SIX BOUTS
CORAPI OUT, ZAKLON U PROTIV ERICKSONA; BORITE SE SADA ZA LAKI NASLOV NA NEF-u 39
Za immediate release: Lewiston, Mejn (Lipanj 4, 2019) - New England Borbe (NEF) vraća se u subotu u Androseggin Bank Colisee, Lipanj 22 sa svojim sljedećim događajem mješovitih borilačkih vještina, “NEF 39: SVE AMERIČKI.” Ranije danas, promocija borbe je to objavila Jesse “Viking” Erickson (9-7) će zadovoljiti Dylan Lockard (5-1) za upražnjeno NEF profesionalno prvenstvo u lakoj kategoriji. Bivši prvak Ryan Sanders (18-9) odlučio je iseliti naslov krajem prošle godine zbog ekstremnih rezova težine koje je morao podnijeti da bi napravio laganu granicu 155 funti.
Bout, prvotno planirano da bude nenaslovna veza između Ericksona i Lewisa Corapija (8-5), nastao nakon što se Corapi morao povući zbog bolesti.
“Jesse Erickson višegodišnji je kandidat od početka NEF-ovog naslova u lakoj kategoriji,” izjavio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson. “U 22 sukobi između njegove amaterske i profesionalne karijere, moraš se vratiti sve do njegove prve borbe u 2012 kako bi pronašli jedan put da se Erickson ikad potukao, otišli do sudačkih bodova. Uvijek se natječe sa žestinom koja ga vodi do osiguranja cilja, ili biti gotov. Čista je vatra svaki put kad se popne u kavez. Dylan Lockard, na isti način, je samo jednom izgubio između amaterskih i profesionalnih izleta i trenutno je jedan od najzanimljivijih izgleda u Novoj Engleskoj. Kao amater, Lockard je pobijedio i Josha Harveyja i Caleba Halla - dvije NEF-ove spojnice koje su neporažene i izgledaju nezaustavljivo otkako su postali profesionalni. Ne biste mogli tražiti savršeniju borbu između dvoje iskusnih, gladni sportaši za popunjavanje toliko željenog naslova u lakoj kategoriji.”
Erickson je već tri puta pokušao osvojiti lagani pojas, dva puta protiv Brucea Boyingtona (17-11) i jednom protiv trenutnog UFC-ovog konkurenta Devina Powella (9-4), samo da bi u svakoj borbi izostao. Erickson kaže da će biti strpljiv u ovoj borbi u nadi da će osvojiti naslov koji mu je do danas izmicao.
"Prvi, Želim zahvaliti Dylanu što je istupio i prihvatio borbu,” primijetio je Erickson. “Djeluje dobro zaokruženo i ima pobjede nad nekim kvalitetnim protivnicima. Naporno radim svaki dan i ući ću u kavez u najboljoj formi u kojoj sam ikad bio. Neću žuriti u kavezu 22. lipnja. Imam pet rundi da ga sklonim i napokon izađem s tim pojasom. Pobjeda ili Valhalla, četvrti put je čar. "
Lockard će definitivno ući na neprijateljski teritorij sa stotinama Ericksonovih prijatelja iz rodnog grada, obitelj i obožavatelje u gomili. Borba će se odvijati deset kilograma teže od ograničenja u perolakoj kategoriji na kojem se Lockard obično natječe.
Sve o pozadini Lockarda, međutim, ukazuje na to da ustaje kako bi se suočio s bilo kojim izazovom. U 2010 osvojio je državno prvenstvo u 152 hrvanje kilograma za regionalnu srednju školu Timberlane u Plaistowu, New Hampshire, završivši seniorsku sezonu s impresivnim 38-9 snimiti. Svoju amatersku MMA karijeru započeo je godine 2014 i otišao savršen 4-0, porazivši neke od najboljih koje regija može ponuditi, uključujući Harveyja i Halla. Lockard je postao profesionalac u ljeto 2016. Njegov jedini gubitak do danas bio je protiv vrlo žilavog Shanea Manleyja (5-5), koga će dugogodišnji navijači NEF-a pamtiti kao sportaša koji je uručio i Jesseja Ericksona i Raya Wooda (8-5) prvi gubici njihove MMA karijere. Lockard je trenutno u nizu od dvije borbe od poraza od Manleyja, nedavno preokrenuti prethodno neporaženi Anthony Wright (4-1) na borbenoj kartici na Rhode Islandu prošle jeseni.
“Uzbuđen sam što ću doći u Maine i boriti se za NEF naslov,” rekao je Lockard kad je posegnuo za komentarom. “Jesse je doista težak protivnik, i mislim da se dobro podudaramo. Bit će to uzbudljiva borba za navijače. "

I may not have a squeaky clean undefeated record, but getting a taste of a loss and a win is what makes you more dangerous, po mom mišljenju. Ne znam ništa o mom protivniku, but that doesn’t even begin to scare me. Im’ma bring it, and I’m going to win on June 22. Nemoj propustiti!"
Sarai Knapp will be making her amateur MMA debut at “NEF 39” on June 22nd. She will make the 1,000-mile trip from her home state of Indiana to compete against Rosado. Knapp represents Lee Brothers MMA based in Fort Wayne.

I know my coaches will have me ready for this one! have no doubt in my mind the fans will be in for a real treat with this one.”

“I’m honored for the opportunity to get into the NEF cage and compete for the amateur title against someone like Carlton,” exclaimed Norman. “He and I will put on one hell of a show for the Lewiston crowd. Both of us come to fight and it won’t be any different on June 22nd. I have nothing but respect for him and his team. I’m excited for the task at hand and scrapping it out for the middleweight title.”
