Die Veranstaltung erinnert an das zehnjährige Jubiläum von NEF. Die führende regionale Promotion startete im Februar 11, 2012. Bereits heute Morgen, NEF kündigte die Ergänzung der Kampfkarte um einen professionellen Leichtgewichtskampf an.Carl Langston(0-6)soll übernehmenShaun Ray(2-1) bei einem Kampfgewicht von 155 Pfund.
Carl Langston sucht den ersten Sieg seiner Profikarriere – eine Karriere, die bis 2018 zurückreicht. Davor, Langston hat als Amateur sieben Kämpfe gewonnen. Er ist ein lebenslanger Kampfkünstler, praktizierte Taekwondo seit ihrem sechsten Lebensjahr und gewann Medaillen in diesem Sport auf olympischem Niveau der Junioren. Langston tritt derzeit als unabhängiger Kämpfer an.
„Dieser Kampf ist es für mich, es zu schaffen oder zu brechen,“ bemerkte Langston. „Ich habe jedes Werkzeug, um Shaun und jeden meiner letzten Gegner zu besiegen, Ich muss nur mental auftauchen. Mit Beginn dieses neuen Jahres hatte ich einige große positive Veränderungen im Leben, und weitere werden folgen, und ich glaube, das wird dazu beitragen, eine wichtige Rolle in diesem Kampf zu spielen. Ich bin bereit, auf mein Mundstück zu beißen und dieses Finish zu bekommen. Ich habe nicht das Gefühl, dass Ray ein echter 55er ist – er ist sehr klein für die Gewichtsklasse – also der Sprung auf 55 ihn zu bekämpfen ist ein Beweis für meine Fähigkeiten. Ich werde der bahnbrechende Kämpfer des Jahres 2022 sein.“
Shaun Ray gab letzten Sommer sein NEF-Debüt bei „NEF 44“ in Milford, New Hampshire verliert gegen Caleb Hall (4-0). Ray ist Absolvent der Easton High School in Easton, Maryland. Er ist derzeit ein Einwohner von Waterville, Maine. Wie Langston, Ray ist auch ein unabhängiger Kämpfer.
„Ich bin dankbar für die Möglichkeit, mein Können gegen einen sehr erfahrenen Stürmer zu testen,“ sagte Ray. „Ich kenne Carl und verfolge seine Kampfkarriere seit sieben Jahren. Ich habe großen Respekt vor ihm als Kämpfer. Was mich betrifft, Ich mache einfach das, was ich gerne tue. Ich denke, dies ist ein ausgezeichnetes Match-Up.“

When it happened, I was just like, ‘Man I am losing this fight. I’ve got to do something spectacular.’ It (the decisive punch that ended the fight) came at the right time.” “I needed to face some adversity, and tonight Horiguchi gave me all of that.

Jeremy Kennedy:“I can’t seem to find it. My coaches got mad at me in my last fight. I’ve got an atomic bomb. That’s what my coach said. It’s a 100-mile (per hour) fastball. I’ve got to use it. Last fight, Ich habe nicht. I wanted to try and mix it up, change my style. I was competitive, but I had to get back to my roots.” “I would have liked to have mixed it up a bit more, aber doch (Emmanuel) Sanchez is in your face the whole time. It was hard to dictate that calculated range. He just came right at me.” “I put a lot of pressure on myself. I had a close friend pass away. He was in my corner for my last few fights. I didn’t want to go home with a loss. I didn’t want to take any extra chance. I wanted to win every single exchange. I wanted to win every second, every moment of this fight. I didn’t care what that looked like. I had to get the ‘w.’ “ “Next time, I am going to get back to having fun and find that happy medium. This one is for Boom. I had to get my hand raised at all costs. I wasn’t coming out of this without a win.” #7-Josh Hill (21-4) unterlegen Jared Scoggins (10-2) via KO (Schlag) bei :56 der zweiten Runde Josh Hill:“This one was about timing.

Dass (punch that ended the fight) was right on the button.” “I belong there (in the Bellator MMA World Grand Prix). I know this division is stacked, so I understand (why he wasn’t included). I want in. If there are any injuries or pull outs, I’m your man.” “I saw him (Scoggins) go down and knew he was out. There was no point to keep going.” "Er (Scoggins) is very traditional, karate-esque. My coach and I worked on timing quite a bit. I knew the first round might be a little tricky. I landed a punch in the first, but it wasn’t on the money. The one in the second (that ended the fight) was.”

Former BELLATOR Bantamweight World Champion Kyoji Horiguchi enters tonight’s contest unranked due to inactivity within the promotion. Official BELLATOR Rankings will be updated and distributed on Monday, Dezember. 6.
Champion – Sergio Pettis (21-5):
Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettiscaptured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJuan Archuletain a fast-paced contest atBELLATOR 258.During a nearly six-year, 14-fight UFC stint, the Roufusport-product competed in both the flyweight and bantamweight classes, collecting nine victories and a pair of “Fight of the Night” honors against Alex Caceres and Matt Hobar in 2014. Prior to his UFC tenure, Pettis, the younger brother of former UFC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis, earned world titles in Resurrection Fighting Alliance’s flyweight division and North American Fighting Championship’s 135-pound class. Following a trio of impressive triumphs over some of the division’s elite, BELLATOR’s bantamweight champion is set to protect his belt and an unblemished 3-0 promotional mark entering the tournament.
Former BELLATOR Bantamweight Champion – Kyoji Horiguchi (29-3):
Hailing from Takasaki, Japan, der 31-JährigeKyoji Horiguchiis the reigning RIZIN bantamweight champion who notoriously became a simultaneous, two-promotion champion in 2019 after taking down and upsetting then-BELLATOR champion Darrion Caldwell at Madison Square Garden. Leider, an injury would force Horiguchi to relinquish his BELLATOR title in 2019, and he now looks to reclaim his belt in a main event clash with current championSergio Pettis beiBellator 272. While with RIZIN, the American Top Team-product amassed an impressive 10-1 promotional mark, highlighted by eight finishes and five first-round knockouts. Zusätzlich, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Jetzt, after reclaiming his RIZIN bantamweight strap and avenging only his third loss in 32 outings with a highlight-reel, opening-round knockout over Kai Asakura on New Year’s Eve 2020, the Japanese sensation fighting out of Coconut Creek, Fla., aims to get his hands back on BELLATOR’s title
Unterlassen Sie. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – Juan Archuleta (25-3):
With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-PlatzJuan Archuletasees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, einschließlich 12 by way of K.O. oder Unterwerfung, the “Spaniard” has no issues stopping opponents inside the BELLATOR cage. The former four-division King of the Cage world champion, who holds victories over Patchy Mix, Henry Corrales, and Ricky Bandejas, strives to keep that trend going throughout the Grand Prix.
Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fighters, Raufeon “Supa” Stotshas been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, das Nein. 2-ranked bantamweight has defeated some of BELLATOR’s finest, including Magomed Magomedov and Josh Hill, by smothering opponents with top-tier grappling ability. Sporting a near-perfect 17-1 Rekord, the Roufusport product and two-time NCAA Division II Champion now has an opportunity to compete for a long-awaited crown.
Set to make his sixth promotional appearance under the BELLATOR umbrella, the pride of Angola, N.Y., has collected two-first round submission victories while compiling a 4-1 record with the Scott Coker-led promotion. The 28-year-old Buffalo, N.Y.. native looks to build off his most recent win atBellator 270over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Irland, letzten monat. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, darunter fünf Erstrunden. Jetzt, the submission specialist will face the toughest challenge of his career, a shot at the tournament’s $1 million prize and BELLATOR’s 135-pound strap.
After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Magomedovhopes to add to his collection by taking home BELLATOR gold. Amassing an impressive 18-2 career record with 12 via finish, “Tiger” has made a swift impact on the BELLATOR 135-pound division since his December 2020 promotional debut by climbing to No. 4 in the rankings. Possessing both a blistering pace and superior grappling, Magomedov has the potential to be a nightmare matchup for anyone in the BELLATOR Bantamweight World Grand Prix.
After dropping in weight to 135-pounds, Leandro Higo has been on a tear by winning three consecutive fights and putting the entire bantamweight division on notice. Under the tutelage of the famed Pitbull Brothers camp, the Brazilian is coming off a hard-fought, split-decision victory over former Bantamweight World Champion Darrion CaldwellatBellator 259 im Mai 2021. Als 12 of Higo’s 21 pro victories have come by submission, the entire bracket knows that the No. 5-ranked bantamweight will not be an easy out.
Unterlassen Sie. 6 Ranked Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):
Hailing from Strabane, Irland, one of MMA’s brightest young fighters strives to notch his 12th career victory in a tournament stacked with 135-pound talent. Following a finish over Anthony Taylor atBellator 169 im Dezember 2016 and a pair of first-round submissions the following year, “The Strabanimal” has tallied four victories over his past six contests, including three first-round finishes and a highlight reel 35-second win atBellator 227. Poised for the biggest test of his young career, the former SBG Ireland-product aims to shed the shadow of former training partner, Conor McGregor, and add to his own legacy with a shot at BELLATOR bantamweight gold.

Bereits heute Morgen, NEF kündigte die Zugabe von einem professionellen Federgewicht Kampf mit dem Kampf-Karte. Former NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionNathaniel Grimard (0-0) soll übernehmenAnthony Vasta (0-0) bei einem Kampf Gewicht von 145 Pfund-.
Nathaniel Grimard made his NEF MMA debut in September 2019 bei „NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” That night, Grimard submitted Justin Kangas (0-3) via armbar in the first round. During the pandemic lockdown, Grimard competed twice in Florida and improved his record to 3-0. His unbeaten record positioned Grimard to challenge for the then vacant NEF Featherweight Championship. Im August, Grimard stopped Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2) in the second round at “NEF 44: Back in Black” to become the 145-pound titleholder. Grimard got right back in the cage at “NEF 45: Uprising” to defend his strap against Billy Wilson (7-1) from the famed Jackson Wink MMA camp in New Mexico. Grimard lost a laborious five-round decision that made Wilson the new champion. Jetzt, Grimard hits the reset switch as he plans to turn professional against NEF newcomer, Anthony Vasta. Grimard represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire, wo er unter UFC- und Bellator-Veteranen trainiert, und ehemaliger NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (10-5).
“I can’t imagine a better way to start my pro career than on NEF’s 10th anniversary card,” Grimard stated. “I have big goals for myself and I’m ready to take on anybody in my way. I have nothing but respect for Vasta and his martial arts skills, but I have never been more focused.”
Anthony Vasta will also be making his professional debut at NEF 46. Vasta and Grimard made their respective MMA amateur debuts within a couple of months of each other. Vasta and Grimard share another common tie, as both competed on the same card in Florida during the pandemic. Vasta has a 1-1 amateur record and trains at Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy in Wakefield, Massachusetts.
“Being able to make my professional debut against another rising New England fighter that I respect is exciting,” Vasta stated. “It’s time to take the next step in my career, put my skills to the test, and seize the opportunity. My style is really unorthodox and hard to prepare for. I plan to go out there and put on a dominant performance against another tough prospect of this division.”

ZUR SOFORTIGEN VERÖFFENTLICHUNG: Portland, Maine (November 26, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) kehrt mit seinem nächsten Mixed-Martial-Arts zurück (MMA) Ereignis, "NEF 46: Jahrzehnt der Dominanz," am Samstag, Februar 12, 2022, bei Aura in Portland, Maine. Die Veranstaltung erinnert an das zehnjährige Jubiläum von NEF. Die führende regionale Promotion startete im Februar 11, 2012. Bereits heute Morgen, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bout to the fight card. NEF Flyweight ChampionTyler Smythe (3-1) is scheduled to defend his title against former NEF Flyweight ChampionRyan "Gordo" Burgess (3-2) bei einem Kampfgewicht von 125 Pfund.
Tyler Smythe notched his third MMA win and captured coveted NEF gold in the process when he recently stopped previously undefeated flyweight prospect Caleb “Dr. Wohlfühlen ”Austin (5-1) in a “Fight of the Night” performance at “NEF 45: Uprising.” Down on the scorecards but not discouraged, Smythe waged a come-from-behind victory to earn the technical knockout (DIE) stoppage over Austin in the final second of the fourth round of their championship bout. Never one to slow down, Smythe, who is trained by Nate Libby out of Evolution Athletix in Saco, Maine, is anxious to make an immediate turnaround and defend his title against a former NEF Champion.
“From bell to bell, every round, I’ll be going at this kid like he owes me money,” Smythe stated. “I want a quick finish. Ryan doesn’t deserve to be in that cage with me. February 12th, I’ll show why I’m the NEF flyweight champ.”
Ryan Burgess is no stranger to championship challenges. Hailing from Rumford, Maine, Burgess is one of only four Mountain Valley High School mat men to ever win triple state crowns in wrestling. He amassed an amazing 151-23 overall high school record before graduating and turning his attention to mixed martial arts. Burgess quickly made a name for himself in MMA when he won the NEF Flyweight Championship in November 2015 with a split-decision nod over then Champion Dustin Veinott (5-4). When Burgess last competed, he displayed a dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) game off his back in defeating Nate Boucher (0-1) in a heated hometown rivalry. Bürger, a BJJ purple belt, trains under Jason “JB” Bell and fights out of Bell’s Famoso BJJ.
“I’m super excited to make my return on NEF’s 10-year anniversary show,” Burgess stated. “It’s been a long time coming for me to return to the cage and I can’t think of a more perfect scenario than coming back and regaining my flyweight title with a finish over Smythe. It’s been three years since I’ve competed, but my coach, Jason Bell, and I have been putting in work behind the scenes. I can’t wait to showcase my skills and put on a show for the fans.
“Smythe seems like a tough opponent, and it was no easy feat for him to defeat Caleb Austin for the belt,” Burgess continued. “With that being said, I see many holes in his game that I plan to exploit come February 12th. I hope he’s not expecting the same fighter he’s watching in the three-plus-year-old film he’s researching to better understand me. Mentally and skillfully, I am a far superior fighter compared to my previous bouts and only my training partners actually know the weapons I’ll be bringing into that cage to get the job done. Smythe may rethink his entire pursuit of a professional MMA career when I’m finished with him. The pressure I’m going to bring would melt any of these amateur flyweights in New England and come February they will all be on notice.”
