LANGSTON IN SEARCH OF FIRST PRO WIN AT NEF 46 ON FEBRUARY 12

DO NATYCHMIASTOWEJ PUBLIKACJI: Portland, Maine (Styczeń 11, 2022) - New England Walki (NEF) powraca z kolejnymi mieszanymi sztukami walki (MMA) wydarzenie, "NEF 46: Dekada Dominacji," w sobotę, Luty 12, 2022, w Aura w Portland, Maine. Wydarzenie upamiętni dziesięciolecie NEF. Wiodąca promocja regionalna ruszyła w lutym 11, 2012. Wcześniej dzisiaj, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card.Carl Langston(0-6)ma się podjąćShaun Ray(2-1) przy masie walka 155 funtów.

Carl Langston will look for the first win of his professional career – a career stretching back to 2018. Prior to that time, Langston won seven fights as an amateur. He is a lifelong martial artist, having practiced taekwondo since the age of six and medaling in the sport at the Junior Olympic level. Langston is currently competing as an independent fighter.

“This fight is make it or break it for me,”Zauważył Langston.  “I have every tool to best Shaun and any of my last opponents, I just have to show up mentally. I have had some major positive life changes with the start of this New Year with more to come, and I feel that’s going to help play a major role in this fight. I’m ready to bite down on my mouthpiece and get this finish. I don’t feel like Ray is a true 55er—he’s very small for the weight class—so the jump up to 55 to fight him is a testament to my skill set. I’m going to be the breakthrough fighter of 2022.”

Shaun Ray made his NEF debut last summer at “NEF 44” in Milford, New Hampshire in a losing effort to Caleb Hall (4-0).  Ray is a graduate of Easton High School in Easton, Maryland. He is currently a resident of Waterville, Maine. Like Langston, Ray is also an independent fighter.

“I am thankful for the opportunity to test my skill against a very well-seasoned striker,” said Ray.  “I have known Carl and followed his fight career for seven years. I have a lot of respect for him as a fighter. As for myself, I am just doing what I love to do. I feel this is an excellent match up.”

DUBLIN Leading mixed martial arts promotion BELLATOR MMA has today added a number of explosive fights toBellator 275: Mousasi vs. Vanderford, taking place at the 3Arena in Dublin, Irlandia, Piątek, February 25.

In what is set to be the biggest Irish female fight ever, a women’s featherweight bout between Northern Ireland’sLeah McCourt (6-1) and Ireland’s most-recent title challengerSinead Kavanagh (7-5) is set to light up the main card. Więcej, a bantamweight main card attraction between home favoriteBrian Moore (14-8), whotakes on No. 9 w rankinguJornel Lugo (7-0).

The promotion’s explosive return to the Irish capital forBellator 275: Mousasi vs Vanderford, sees middleweight world championGegard Mousasidefend his crown against undefeated AmericanAustin VanderfordThe co-main event sees Irish star Peter Queally return to action against Manchester, AngliiKane Mousah (13-4) in the lightweight division.

Broadcast details and additional fights are set to be announced in the coming weeks. Tickets for the event are on sale now and can be purchased online fromTicketmaster.ie iBellator.com.

Sinead Kavanagh will be hoping to respond to a heartbreaking world title loss against Cyborg in her last outing in November atBellator 271. A winner of her two previous BELLATOR outings before facing the pound-for-pound queen, Kavanagh will be looking to get back to her winning ways and live up to her “KO” moniker in front of the 3Arena crowd.

Currently riding a five-fight win streak, Northern Ireland’s McCourt returns to action following a dominant display in a unanimous decision victory againstJessica Borgaduring her last outing atBELLATOR 267w październiku. Now sitting at No. 4 in BELLATOR’s featherweight rankings, a win at the expense of her opponent on Feb. 25 will go a long way towards moving “The Curse” one step closer to a BELLATOR world title shot against incumbent champion, Cris Cyborg.

Brian Moore’s long-awaited Dublin return will see the Wexford fighter go toe-to-toe with No. 9 ranked bantamweight Jornel Lugo. “The Pikeman” will be hoping the home support helps him hand Lugo his first professional defeat and in doing so climb into the official bantamweight rankings for the first time. Lugo has won all four of his bouts under the BELLATOR banner, including an emphatic first round submission win against Keith Lee atBellator 265 wcześniej w tym roku.

Several additions have been confirmed for the preliminary card including a bantamweight bout between WelshmanBrett Johns (17-3) iKhurshed Kakhorov (8-0). Johns makes his return to European soil looking to make a statement in a must-see match-up against the undefeated Kakhorov. MMA veteran Johns boasts an impressive 17 wins from his 20 walk zawodowych, while Kakhorov has won each of his first eight bouts, including a dominant unanimous decision win in his BELLATOR debut against Jair Junior atBellator 267 in October.

England’s No. 5 w rankinguFabian Edwards (9-2) is set to make his return to the cage in Dublin when he takes onMarian Dimitrov(10-2). “The Assassin” won his first nine professional fights and established himself as one of the rising stars in BELLATOR’s middleweight division. He will be looking to bounce back from a defeat in his last fight against Dublin title challenger Austin Vanderford atBellator 259 w maju.

IrlandiiDanni McCormack (5-0) returns to action fresh from her win at the 3Arena in November against Audrey Kerouche, when she facesStephanie Page(5-3) in a strawweight bout. The preliminary card also features a welterweight bout between ItalianStefano Paterno (13-4-1) and BELLATOR debutantLuca Poclit (6-1) and a featherweight fight between Wales’Scott Pedersen(1-2) and Ireland’sNathan Kelly(3-2).

Rounding out the additions to the preliminary card is a featherweight affair between up-and-coming IrishmanCiaran Clarke (4-0) and BELLATOR debutantAbou Tounkara (7-2).

C-Sergio Pettis (22-5) pokonany Kyoji Horiguchi (29-4) przez KO (spinning backfist) w 3:24 cztery rundy

Sergio Pettis: “I came out here and got beaten up for four rounds. 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. It was hard trying to time his rhythm, trying to get his movement down.”

“My coaches always tell me, ‘If you open up, you could be one of the best in the world.’ That what I’m pushing for.”

#9-Jeremy Kennedy (17-3, 1 NC) pokonany #4-Emmanuel Sanchez (20-7) przez jednogłośną decyzję (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

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, I didn’t. 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, ale (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) pokonany Jared Scoggins (10-2) przez KO (poncz) w :56 z drugiej rundzie

Josh Hill: “This one was about timing. We knew the first round would be hard to get that timing down. On (Jared Scoggins) was very jumpy, in and out. That (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.”

"On (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.”

#5-Johnny Eblen (10-0) pokonany Collin Huckbody (10-4) przez TKO (stemple) w 1:11 w pierwszej rundzie

Johnny Eblen: “I wanted to send that dude (Huckbody) to the metaverse. Niestety, I could not do that tonight. I was I could have put on a better show, but it is what it is.”

“John Salter, I signed a bout agreement to fight you in Florida, but you [expletive withheld] na zewnątrz. I don’t know if you got hurt, or you [expletive withheld] na zewnątrz. But I want to see you in this [expletive withheld] klatka szybowa, John. Let’s gear up and let’s get after it.”

Mistrz – Sergio Pettis (21-5):

Fighting out of Milwaukee, Wisc.,Sergio Pettis captured the BELLATOR bantamweight crown in May 2021 by outpointing former championJuan Archuleta in 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, Japonia, 31-letniKyoji Horiguchi is 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. Niestety, 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 wBellator 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. Dodatkowo, more than half of Horiguchi’s career victories have come via knockout. Teraz, 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

Nie. 1 Ranked Bantamweight – Juan Archuleta (25-3):

With the Bantamweight World Grand Prix set, former BELLATOR World Champion and No. 1-w rankinguJuan Archuleta sees a clear path toward regaining the 135-pound crown. Armed with 25 professional victories, Łącznie 12 by way of K.O. lub złożenie, 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.

Nie. 2 Ranked Bantamweight – Raufeon Stots (17-1):

Considered one of the world’s best 135-pound fightersRaufeon “Supa” Stots has been in the title conversation since his 2019 BELLATOR debut. Currently riding a nine-fight winning streak, Nie. 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.

Nie. 3 Ranked Bantamweight – Patchy Mix (15-1):

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 270 over James Gallagher in his opponent’s hometown of Dublin, Irlandia, w zeszłym miesiącu. Prior to his time with BELLATOR, Mix dominated the competition while on the regional scene by collecting nine of his 15 professional victories, w tym pięć zakończeń pierwszej rundy. Teraz, 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.

Nie. 4 Ranked Bantamweight – Magomed Magomedov (18-2):

After capturing belts in different organizations, Dagestani phenomMagomed Magomedov hopes 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.

Nie. 5 Ranked Bantamweight – Leandro Higo (21-5):

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 w maju 2021. As 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.

Nie. 6 Ranked Bantamweight – James Gallagher (11-2):

Hailing from Strabane, Irlandia, 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 w grudniu 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.

Former NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionNathaniel Grimard (0-0) ma się podjąćAnthony Vasta (0-0) przy masie 145-walka funtów.

Nathaniel Grimard made his NEF MMA debut in September 2019 at “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. W sierpniu, 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. Teraz, Grimard hits the reset switch as he plans to turn professional against NEF newcomer, Anthony Vasta. Grimard represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC and Bellator veteran, i były mistrz NEF Professional Lightweight, 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.”

MISTRZ VS BYŁY MISTRZ ZESTAW DO WALKI O TYTUŁ WALKI W DNIU 12 LUTEGO

DO NATYCHMIASTOWEJ PUBLIKACJI: Portland, Maine (Listopad 26, 2021) - New England Walki (NEF) powraca z kolejnymi mieszanymi sztukami walki (MMA) wydarzenie, "NEF 46: Dekada Dominacji," w sobotę, Luty 12, 2022, w Aura w Portland, Maine. Wydarzenie upamiętni dziesięciolecie NEF. Wiodąca promocja regionalna ruszyła w lutym 11, 2012. Wcześniej dzisiaj, NEF ogłosił dodanie amatorskiej walki o mistrzostwo do karty walki. NEF mistrz wagi muszejTyler Smythe (3-1) ma bronić swojego tytułu przed byłym mistrzem NEF FlyweightRyan "Gordo" Burgess (3-2) przy masie walka 125 funtów.

Tyler Smythe odniósł swoje trzecie zwycięstwo w MMA i zdobył upragnione złoto NEF w trakcie tego procesu, kiedy niedawno zatrzymał niepokonanego wcześniej kandydata w wadze muszej, Caleba „Dr. Feelgood ”Austin (5-1) w spektaklu „Walka nocy” w „NEF 45: Powstanie." Niżej na kartach wyników, ale nie zniechęcony, Smythe odniósł zwycięstwo z tyłu, aby zdobyć techniczny nokaut (WHO) zatrzymanie nad Austinem w ostatniej sekundzie czwartej rundy ich walki o mistrzostwo. Nigdy nie zwalniaj, Smythe, który jest szkolony przez Nate Libby z Evolution Athletix w Saco, Maine, pragnie natychmiastowego zwrotu i obrony swojego tytułu przed byłym mistrzem NEF.

„Od dzwonka do dzwonka, w każdej rundzie, Będę chodzić na tego dzieciaka, jakby był mi winien pieniądze,” Stwierdził Smythe. “Chcę szybkiego zakończenia. Ryan nie zasługuje na to, by być ze mną w tej klatce. 12 lutego, Pokażę, dlaczego jestem mistrzem NEF w wadze muszej”.

Ryan Burgess nie jest obcy mistrzowskim wyzwaniom. Pochodzący z Rumford, Maine, Burgess jest jednym z zaledwie czterech zawodników z Mountain Valley High School, którzy kiedykolwiek zdobyli potrójne korony stanowe w zapasach. Zgromadził niesamowity 151-23 ogólne wyniki w szkole średniej przed ukończeniem studiów i zwrócenie uwagi na mieszane sztuki walki. Burgess szybko wyrobił sobie markę w MMA, kiedy w listopadzie zdobył mistrzostwo NEF w wadze muszej 2015 w wyniku podzielonej decyzji ukłon w stronę mistrza Dustina Veinotta (5-4). Kiedy Burgess ostatnio startował, pokazał niebezpieczne brazylijskie jiu-jitsu (BJJ) gra z tyłu, pokonując Nate'a Bouchera (0-1) w zażartej rywalizacji w rodzinnym mieście. Burgess, fioletowy pas do BJJ, trenuje pod okiem Jasona „JB” Bella i walczy z Famoso BJJ Bell.

„Jestem bardzo podekscytowany powrotem na 10-lecie programu NEF,” Burgess stwierdził. „Minęło dużo czasu, zanim wróciłem do klatki i nie mogę wymyślić lepszego scenariusza niż powrót i odzyskanie tytułu wagi muszej z finiszem nad Smythe. Minęły trzy lata, odkąd startowałem, ale mój trener, Jason Bell, a ja pracuję za kulisami. Nie mogę się doczekać, aby pokazać swoje umiejętności i zrobić show dla fanów.

„Smythe wydaje się trudnym przeciwnikiem, i pokonanie Caleba Austina o pas nie było dla niego łatwym wyczynem,„Burgess kontynuował. „Mając to powiedziane, Widzę wiele dziur w jego grze, które planuję wykorzystać już 12 lutego. Mam nadzieję, że nie spodziewa się tego samego wojownika, którego ogląda w ponad trzyletnim filmie, który bada, aby lepiej mnie zrozumieć. Mentalnie i umiejętnie, Jestem znacznie lepszym wojownikiem w porównaniu z moimi poprzednimi walkami i tylko moi partnerzy treningowi faktycznie znają broń, którą wniosę do tej klatki, aby wykonać zadanie. Smythe może przemyśleć całe swoje dążenie do profesjonalnej kariery MMA, kiedy z nim skończę. Presja, którą zamierzam przynieść, stopiłaby każdą z tych amatorskich wag w Nowej Anglii i w lutym wszyscy zostaną o tym powiadomieni.

"NEF 46: Dekada Dominacji” odbywa się w sobotę, Luty 12, 2022, w Aura w Portland, Maine. Wydarzenie upamiętni dziesięciolecie NEF. Drzwi otwarte na 6 po południu z pierwszą walką o godz 7 po południu. Bilety już w sprzedażywww.Ticketmaster.com
