即时发布: 波特兰, 缅因 (二月 18, 2019) – 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 将展示其未来的混合武术 (MMA) 事件, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” 四月 27, 2019 在Aura在波特兰. The fight promotion just announced the addition of a professional lightweight fight to the card. 迦勒大厅 将在 Jay Ellis 在155磅重的斗争.
Hall is on a five-fight win streak in the NEF cage going back to his amateur days. His last loss for the promotion was more than four years ago at “NEF 16” against current professional featherweight champion Josh Harvey. Hall closed out his amateur career with three straight wins, including capturing the amateur 145-pound strap.
He continued that success into the professional ranks in 2018. In his pro debut last spring, Hall submitted veteran John Ortolani in the first round with a Von Flu Choke. He followed up that performance with another first round submission, this time over CJ Ewer via D’Arce Choke this past September at “NEF 35.”
Hall cut his teeth on the wrestling mats of Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine where he was a two-time state champion. He now represents the Choi Institute based out of Recon Fitness in Portland.
“I am happy to be fighting in Portland at Aura again,” said Hall of the upcoming April 27 bout against Jay Ellis. “I am looking to pick up where I left off in 2018 and continuing my winning streak.”

波特兰, 缅因 (二月 16, 2019)—Jake “The Bull” Bagley has had a mythical reputation within the Maine wrestling community for well over a decade, but when he made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut at “NEF 37: Sub Zero” on February 1ST in Bangor, a whole new legion of fans learned his name—fight fans. That’s because Bagley, a multiple-time state champion wrestler, brought the house down in his back-and-forth, fist-tastic battle with Canada’s Brady Macdonald. Bagley discussed his NEF MMA debut recently with Bryan Stackpole and Ryan Jarrell on the Between Rounds Radio 播客.
Bagley, now 25-years-old, grew-up wrestling for perennial powerhouse Noble High School in North Berwick, 缅因, where he won two state championships. During his time on the mat, Bagley earned a reputation as a relentless competitor that never hesitated to bump up in weight to face the toughest challengers he could find at both the state and national levels. Blessed with a relentless desire to constantly test his abilities, Bagley’s interests naturally progressed to MMA at a young age.
“When I was 15, I believe I was a sophomore, I heard there was cage fighting going on in Berwick, 缅因,” Bagley told Stackpole and Jarrell. “I went down and checked it out and that’s the first day I met Bill Jones. I was 15-years-old and I walked into Hall Brother’s Roofing and they’re out there behind a storage unit place, in a garage bay training. Ever since that day, Bill’s been kicking my ass and pushing me to it. In the last couple of months, I finally got serious about it and decided to do it.”
Bagley’s NEF debut earlier this month came against a fighter that had proven himself to be a wrestler’s kryptonite. Canada’s Brady Macdonald needed only 15-seconds to force multiple-time New Hampshire state champion Greg Waterbury to tap when he debuted with the promotion in June 2018. Early into his bout with Bagley, it looked like history might repeat itself when Macdonald was able to secure Bagley’s back during the first round. Bagley, 然而, would have none of it.
“He caught me with that first overhand right right at the beginning of the fight and then it clicked—I realized I was in a fight,” Bagley recounted. “My adrenaline went up. I couldn’t have been happier. It was everything that I was looking for.”
Bagley fought off the choke and then, the fight was on. A frenetic, high-paced free-for-all followed that had all 1200 fans in the building on their feet.
“As soon as I realized how hard he could hit, I had no fear—I was going forward,” Bagley stated.
“I didn’t realize how many times he actually hit me until I saw the video,” Bagley continued. “That’s a big thing—I need to keep my hands up.”
One of the most dangerous moments of the fight for Bagley came when he found himself caught in a deep heel hook.
“I look at the video now and I see my foot facing down and my knee facing up and it definitely hurt,” Bagley explained. “He had it in there tight and I’m glad I got through it.”
“I didn’t notice anybody but Brady that night. When I was in there I couldn’t hear coaches yelling, I couldn’t hear fans yelling. 太棒了. It was pure focus because I knew if I wasn’t focusing he was going to catch me like I was catching him.”
现在, a couple of weeks removed from his head-turning debut, the bumps and bruises have healed, but for Bagley—and the fans that were fortunate enough to witness it—the magic of the moment has not been forgotten.
“I’ve wrestled on a couple of national stages, but the emotion and the stuff after that fight… I still feel it today,” Bagley said.
“感觉惊人,“ 他继续. “I’ve always been a competitor and I’ve always trained my entire life. I didn’t do much the last five years—I had a couple of kids and started a family. When I just got back into the gym it was like riding a bike. Once I get going, there’s not going to be anybody to stop me.”
Once again fully committed to a competition lifestyle, Bagley is ready to start racking up the wins the same way he did on the wrestling mat.
“I feel that now that I’m in it, I have that drive and motivation that I don’t think many people are going to be able to compete with,“他说,. “I’ve got unnatural athletic ability and my determination is going to be hard to match—I don’t care who you are.”
“I will fight anybody that wants to accept a fight with me,“ 他继续. “That’s how I feel. If I want to be the best, I’m going to go against the best. I’ll take on anybody right now.”
“I plan on doing big things.”

波特兰, 缅因 (二月 8, 2019) – 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 将展示其未来的混合武术 (MMA) 事件, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” 四月 27, 2019 在Aura在波特兰. 今天早些时候,, the fight promotion announced the second amateur title fight confirmed for the event. Zac “洛基” 理查德 (3-0-1) 将在 汤姆 “飞鸿(Phenom)” Pagliarulo (2-1) for the vacant NEF Amateur Featherweight Championship.
It will be Richard’s second attempt at capturing the title. Earlier this month, Richard fought Fred Lear (6-2-1) to a thrilling five-round draw for the strap in Bangor, 缅因. The bout is considered by many to be a very early contender for “年度扑灭” in New England thus far. Lear’s decision to turn professional after that fight nixed any hope for an immediate rematch.
理查德, 该 2018 “NEF年度最佳新秀” as voted by the promotion’s fans, went on a tear last year with three first-round finishes. He has never been a stranger to the winner’s circle, having won a Maine state championship in wrestling for Massabesic High School in 2015. Richard hopes to replicate that success on April 27 and take the featherweight strap home in his second attempt.
Richard represents team Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under current UFC fighter, 和前 NEF 职业轻量级冠军, 德文 - 鲍威尔 (9-4).
“Now that I’ve been in a war, I know what I need to work on,” said Richard. “I’ve came so far in just one year. I’m going to blow the roof off of AURA. No way around it, I want that title. I’m going to come back faster, stronger and smarter. Tom is a great fighter and I know this fight will bring out the best in me.”
Tom Pagliarulo will be making his NEF debut on April 27. He has two finishes to his credit on MMA events in New Hampshire, including a first-round technical knockout last fall. Like Richard, Pagliarulo cut his teeth on the wrestling mats. 他是一个终身的摔跤手. He competed for Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts and later for Plymouth State University in Plymouth, 新罕布什尔州. Pagliarulo currently holds a blue belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and trains at both Burgess MMA in Manchester, New Hampshire and Spero’s Martial Arts Academy in Plaistow, 新罕布什尔州.
“What better way to make my NEF debut than a title fight against a tough competitor,” exclaimed Pagliarulo when reached for comment. “Zac and myself are both elite wrestlers which should make for an exciting fight. The opportunity was presented to me, and I know it is a fight that will make us both better, so I jumped all over it. As far as the title goes, this is just another fight for me. I’m going to go in there and do what I love to do, 斗争。”

Three prior forays into the New England Fights cage demanded all of five minutes and nine seconds from Zac Richard.
That was the aggregate time it took for the native of Waterboro, 缅因, to accumulate three wins by knockout or submission and earn a shot at the vacant NEF amateur featherweight title at NEF 37 在周五, 二月 1.
Richard probably only now fully appreciates how the odds were stacked against him that frosty evening. He was paired with Fred Lear, a veteran of eight previous fights who won the bantamweight belt in his previous outing. Both Lear’s home and training center sit a stone’s throw away from the Cross Insurance Center, scene of the showdown.
While draws are a rare turn of events in mixed martial arts, and ties are universally maligned as an unsatisfying outcome to any sporting endeavor, Richard can appreciate the judges’ indecision after the first true donnybrook of his budding career.
“Before the fight when they announced our names, I thought the place was going to explode. It was wild,” Richard said. “And then the fight was pretty even the whole time. I kept thinking to myself, you’re not losing, but you’re not winning by much. That’s all I kept thinking about.”
理查德, a Maine state wrestling champion in high school, has worked on the finer points of his stand-up game with UFC veteran Devin Powell and other instructors at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, 新罕布什尔州.
Pride and practicality persuaded Richard to engage in slug-it-out tactics with Lear, but old habits die hard.
“It started out good. I felt in control from the beginning. I wanted to stay on my feet and really show off how much my striking has come,” Richard said. “And I knew Fred was a really game opponent on the ground and has been training a lot longer than I have. So I wanted to keep it on my feet. But staying a wrestler is such habit. The first combination I threw, I went down for a shot.”
Lear’s assault to the body admittedly took a physical toll on Richard. The newcomer obviously never experienced such blunt trauma in his pre-MMA combat days and hadn’t been touched in his career-opening win streak against Gabriel Diaz, Clifford Redman and Chris Lachcik.
“I got really gassed and winded, because he kept landing knees and punches to the body,” Richard said, “I kept waiting for my second wind to come and it never did. I tried to get in a combination or a good slam every once in a while.”
Even sitting on the stool in his corner between rounds was surreal.
Of course there were thoughts of Richard’s sister, Lacy, who lost her battle with cancer in 2012 but continues to inspire Zac with her fighting spirit. Having time to get in touch with one’s thoughts and survey the scenery aren’t the norm when you’re finishing opponents before the echo of the opening bell fades.
“Most of my fights have been pretty quick. It was definitely a weird experience,” Richard said. “I’ve never had that between rounds. I was looking out in the crowd and would see one certain friend or family member or training partner every time. It was a lot bigger deal than what I’m used to.”
When it became obvious Lear wasn’t ripe to be knocked out, Richard tried to balance self-defense while keeping the scorecards in mind.
“Going into the fourth and fifth round, I knew I was tired, and I knew Fred could punch and kick just as well,“他说,. “I was thinking to myself, ‘You’ve got to keep your hands up. This is dangerous when you’re tired.’ All I kept thinking about was don’t get hit. Hit him.
“Every time the clackers went off, when there was 10 seconds left, I tried to get up from the bottom or get in a kick or land one last good strike. That was different, because I never had that—I’ve never even heard the 10-second clackers. I definitely could hear it more than the buzzer, because the last few seconds it would get so chaotic and everyone would get so loud. The ref would just grab us I’m like, ‘Is it over?’ I never experienced anything like that in wrestling.”
Those back-and-forth battles in regional and state mat affairs did serve Richard well. He felt that he was mentally prepared for the championship rounds, even as the physical toll increased.
Richard acknowledged that he has a bad habit of training without using his mouth guard and that it may have affected his breathing in the bout.
“I’ve been in some pretty long wrestling matches, as many different types as you can get in,” Richard said. “I was always a really good wrestler in overtime. I don’t think I ever lost in overtime. If I did, it was like once. But the thing with wrestling is you’re not getting punched and kneed in the stomach and other things that are taking your wind. I was just so tired. I knew the whole time I wasn’t proud of my performance, but you’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. I kept telling myself I had to get up and do something.”
While unhappy with the draw, Richard takes encouragement from many details that have come to light in the aftermath of the fight.
The mixed result surely entitled Richard to an immediate rematch. That won’t explicitly happen, as Lear informed him that he intends to turn professional.
“I remember February 14 of last year was the first NEF fight I ever went to. I had only been training for a month and (NEF共同拥有和媒人) Matt Peterson asked me to go,” Richard said. “So I went, and here it is a year later I’m fighting for a belt against a kid that fought for the belt a year and a half ago. Finding out after the fight that he’s going pro, it really made me a lot prouder of how I did. If he can pro after that fight, and I’ve only been fighting for a year, then I’ve got pretty good hope for my future.”
That future will include another crack at the belt, 四月 27日.
“I’m the Number 1 竞争者, and he’s going pro, so it’s whoever’s next,” Richard said. “I don’t know if they’re going to bring in someone from somewhere else or what. Matt said he’s working on opponent. 我会准备好的。”

班戈, 缅因 (一月 28, 2019) – 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) undefeated prospect Josh “Hook-On” Harvey is not intimated by the tough talk of his opponent, longtime mixed martial arts (MMA) veteran Bill “Jonesi” Jones. The two are scheduled for a five-round 25-minute Featherweight Championship bout this Friday, 二月 1ST 在班戈的交叉保险中心, 缅因.
“I heard a lot about his interview,” Harvey recently stated to Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole on theBetween Rounds Radio podcast during a remote recording of the show that was heard at the Sea Dog Brewing Company. “I didn’t hear it because I don’t really bother with that… I get enough trash floating around—I don’t need to listen to it.”
Harvey was referring to some strong words that Jones had for him recently during multiple podcast interviews he’s delivered, including one toBetween Rounds Radio where Jones predicted a first round knockout victory over Harvey. In the same interview, Jones also criticized Harvey’s ability to make weight, the caliber of opponents that he’s faced, 和, 特别是, Harvey’s most recent fight—a three-round draw with终极战士 finalist Joe Giannetti.
“The truth is, I’ve had struggles making weight as of recently,” Harvey stated.
“Against Giannetti, on three-week’s notice, 是的, I missed weight and I think what I did is I shut down that quote-unquote godly jiu-jitsu game that he has,” Harvey explained. “I don’t think there was one successful (语助词) sub attempt.”
Harvey admitted that making weight is always a challenge. He admitted that he walks around at 175-pounds and has even swelled to as big as 190-pounds during an 18-month stretch when he was inactive due to an injury. Harvey also noted that he has made the weight before and anticipates no issues reaching the contracted 145-pound championship scratch weight limit for his showdown with Jones.
“I’ve made championship weight for featherweight before,哈维说. “Against [德里克] 肖里, I was ’44.”
During the interview, Harvey acknowledged that Jones has faced an impressive list of opponents during his storied fight career that stretches back almost 12-years.
“I’m a rookie compared to my opponent, he would say,” Harvey stated. “He’s fought a lot of big names, a lot of big guys.”
“I know that he’s fought a lot of big guys, but I think most of them got to the big show after they fought him,” Harvey continued. “I haven’t fought a lot of those names, but I also haven’t lost to a lot of those names.”
Jones has criticized Harvey by suggesting that he “doesn’t like to get, hit” to which Harvey replied simply: “No one likes to get hit.”
“If I can see a fight being finished with me victorious without taking a whole lot of damage—I mean, that’s a no-brainer,” Harvey explained.
Harvey also recognized the similarity in attitudes and fight styles that the two scheduled opponents share. “I typically am the same way,哈维说. “I’m going out there to fight to kill, or be killed.”
“I’m prepared for five rounds, but if it goes five rounds it means someone’s not doing their job—me,” Harvey explained. “I’m not doing my job if it goes five rounds because I’m sure within the first few rounds an opportunity will present itself and a missed opportunity is something we can’t have.”
Although reluctant to offer a prediction on how he might finish the fight, Harvey is confident that he will execute another efficient in-cage conclusion on Friday, the kind of performance that has become his calling card since finishing five of his six professional opponents in the first round.
“I can’t tell you when it’s going to happen or whether I’m going to go out there and sub him or I’m going to go out there and knock him out or if it’s going to be first round or if it’s going to be last round,哈维说.
“I just want to get out there, 做戏, get the finish, and remain ready to fight again.”
