Skryf 'n opmerking

Portland, Maine (Augustus 31, 2017) -Nuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onVrydag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Carlton Charles (1-0) sal plaasvind op Nate Evans (0-0) at a catchweight of 175-pounds.

Carlton Charles shocked the Maine MMA community earlier this month with his stunning first-round technical knockout of Josh Jones (2-1) by “NEF 30” in Bangor. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. Op sy beurt, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Dit was, inderdaad, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.

Charles’ athleticism comes as no surprise, egter, to those who know him. He excelled in football for Windham High School. As an assistant coach, Charles later lead Windham to a Class A state championship. He went on to play for the NCAA Division I University of Maine Black Bears. Tans, Charles trains MMA with Charles Family Fighting alongside his older brother, and seven-fight NEF veteran, Nate Charles.

“I’m real excited about the opportunity to fight in Portland,” said Charles. “Not often have we seen MMA in Portland, so it’s definitely going to get a lot of attention. It’s a bit closer to home than Bangor was, so I feel like I’ll have a lot of support there. I hope to put on a good show and look to build on the success of my first fight. I know my opponent will be tough so I am training hard to be prepared.”

Nate Evans will be making his debut on November 3rd. Like Charles, Evans’ background is in football. He was a star quarterback for Sumter Central High School in Livingston, Alabama. Also like Charles, Evans has begun training and combat sports and is hoping to make a successful transition from the gridiron to the MMA cage.

NEF se volgende gemengde martial-kuns gebeurtenis, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Vrydag, November 3, 2017. Kaartjies is te koop nou op www.auramaine.com.

She currently serves as a member of the military police with the Maine Army National Guard. Dostie represents Kenney’s MMA of Lisbon, Maine.

Hoe sal Mayweather vs. McGregor vorm die toekoms van kruisgevegte?

Skryf 'n opmerking

Deur: Rich Bergeron

Fight News Unlimited is deeglik bewus van die term “MMA vs. Boksdebat.” Ons het 'n hele radioprogramreeks oor die onderwerp gehad, kulmineer met 'n volwaardige argument tussen Iceman John Scully ('n Voormalige Pro-bokser en huidige boksafrigter) en Ken Shamrock ('n Pro-stoeier, UFC Fighter en MMA-afrigter). Die kantelpunt was toe vroue in boks en MMA. Shamrock het hul pogings ondersteun terwyl Scully die argument aanvaar het dat hy nie wou sien dat 'n vrou met die vuis in die gesig geslaan word nie.

Vanaand is ons op die punt om die grootste corsover-geveg in die geskiedenis van gevegsport te beleef. 'n Jong, honger, hondsdol MMA-gevegte uit die gemene strate van Ierland staar 'n braaf Amerikaner in die gesig wat uit sy aftrede kom na 'n professionele boksloopbaan vir die eeue. Die ervaring bevoordeel die kundige in sy vak, die mees talentvolle verdedigende vegter in die moderne era van boks. Floyd behoort na die oorwinning te beweeg, en die uitklop wat hy voorspel is iets wat baie aanhangers en spekulante in die 6de tot 7de rondte plaas.

McGregor kan wen in enige scenario waar hy die finale klok sien, of die besluit hom bevoordeel of nie. Al wat hy hoef te doen is om te vermaak, stoot Floyd na punte wat hy nog nooit tevore gedruk is nie, en kom onder Floyd se vel in. Al is dit in 'n verloorpoging, Conor moet 'n karakter wees wat nog 'n geveg kan verkoop. Floyd het herhaaldelik in pers-toergeleenthede gesê hy sal volgende met Conor in die Octagon veg. Dit is duidelik Mayweather wat net probeer dink oor die groot prentjie, maar 'n eensydige klop van McGregor sal aanhangers nie te veel oor 'n Octagon-gesig laat praat nie. Sommige spekulante hou vol dat Floyd doelbewus die gas sal afblaas en McGregor syne sal laat kry 12 rondtes van aksie. Hoe meer Floyd Conor soos 'n nar laat lyk, al, hierdie benadering kan op die lang termyn geen vegter goed doen nie.

Conor kan beslis sy eie uitklophou van Floyd Mayweather in die eerste vier rondes haal, soos hy voorspel het. Dit is binne die moontlikheid. Tog sal die groot uitklophou hoe dit ook al gaan, wees hoe Conor sy besigheid na hierdie geveg hanteer.

 

McGregor Sports and Entertainment het 'n handelsmerk geword wat selfs Dana White die ander aand by die laaste perskonferensie met 'n handelsmerkhemp verteenwoordig het. Ek het aanvanklik teleurgesteld gevoel dat White geen ander UFC-vegters op die onderkaart van hierdie megaboksgeleentheid geplaas het nie. Hoe meer ek oor die benadering gedink het, al, hoe meer ek my verbeel het dat White meer daarvan op die pad wil doen, maar net as McGregor die wêreld kan skok of ten minste die appelkar van boks op een of ander klein manier kan ontstel.

 

Veelvuldige boksers skree vir 'n kans om 'n MMA-vegter in kruisgevegte by elke groot afdeling te trotseer noudat May/Mac die tafel gedek het. David Haye en Anthony Joshua is net twee swaargewigte wat belangstelling in boks MMA-vegters uitspreek. Joshua sou selfs die hok ingaan as geen voorleggings toegelaat word nie. Tony Bellew wil 'n geveg met Michael Bisping hê. Roy Jones jr. wil Anderson Silva beveg en hengel nou al jare na daardie geleentheid.

 

Die regte oorkruising wat Conor kan benut, is een wat ek vrees hy sal nie benut nie, al. Daar is geweldige potensiaal om die soort geld te kry wat professionele boksers maak om die oorskakeling na MMA-vegterkontrakte te maak. Daar is baie bespiegelinge oor hoe White kan wegkom daarmee dat die UFC 'n bokswedstryd mede-promoteer wanneer die UFC se bestuurstaktieke nie voldoen aan die standaarde wat in die Ali-wet uiteengesit word nie., wat sekere noodsaaklike beskerming vereis, moet aan professionele boksers verleen word.

 

Eerder as om terug te keer na die sport van MMA na hierdie geveg en al die kontant en pryse vir homself op te eis, Conor behoort die stygende gety te wees wat alle bote ophef. 'n Ware held van sy sport sal sorg dat hy nie die enigste een is wat geld maak nie, want hy het gehelp om MMA op die regte wêreldverhoog te plaas met sy vertoning vanaand. Hy kan 'n ongelooflike spreekbuis wees om die manier waarop alle vegters sake doen, te verander. Die UFC en Dana White is berug gulsig wanneer dit kom by die beheer van belange in hul vuisvoos werknemers. Dit is wat die voortslepende antitrust-geding teen die maatskappy so ingewikkeld maak.

 

Soos sekere vegters wat nie van die UFC se kontrak hou nie, bied springskip vir Bellator, White en die UFC het gereageer met die Instant Ultimate Fighter-konsep: Die Contender-reeks. Elke week kry 'n nuwe vegter 'n kontrak. Die weermag groei altyd, is hul ooglopende benadering hier. McGregor kan die aanklag lei van groter as lewensvegters wat nee sê vir die UFC en terugveg teen die maatskappy se drang om vegters so min te gee in ruil vir sulke groot pogings.

 

Vanaand se geveg kan dalk bepaal of White en die UFC ooit nog 'n kruisgeveg bevorder of nie. Elke keer as hulle dit doen, al, dit sal waarskynlik net een MMA-vegter vs. 'n bokser en nie 'n gestapelde kaart nie. Op hierdie manier kan hulle elke gebeurtenis 'n groot gebeurtenis maak, selfs al blyk dit 'n grap te wees soos baie voorspel vanaand sal blyk te wees.

 

Dit gaan alles oor hoe McGregor die nadraai in my oë hanteer. Sal hy optree en uitspreek vir die ander vegters wat hul UFC-kontrakte in die wiele kry? Sal hy daardie boksgeld op die tafel kan kry vir homself en sy mede-vegters in die UFC en regoor die MMA-landskap? Sy opsies sal sekerlik selfs in 'n mededingende verlies toeneem, wat maak afgaan deur KO, DQ of skewe klop die enigste maniere waarop hy nie soos rose uitkom nie. Maak nie saak wat gebeur, hy moet die aandag konstruktief gebruik om beide sportsoorte te verbeter.

 

Die debat kan opgelos word, maar ek glo die toekoms hou 'n kans vir 'n nuwe toernooi-formaat. Eers is daar 'n boksgeveg, dan 'n MMA-geveg. Ses weke uitmekaar, albei vegters het ses maande om voor die eerste geveg te oefen. Dit is die volgende logiese stap, en daar sal 'n bokser wees wat die uitdaging aanvaar.

 

Mayweather kan die puriste beïndruk met óf 'n sloping oor 12 rondtes of 'n KO binne die afstand. McGregor hoef net dapper te oorleef om meer koppe te laat draai en meer gewildheid te kry. As hy wen, kies hy sy eie lot en laat 'n ton kenners en kritici hul woorde eet. Die vraag is wat volgende gebeur? Sal die debat opgelos word wat ook al aan die einde van die nag gebeur?

 

VET KANS….

 

McGregor kan 'n groot hand hê in wat ook al volgende vir die oorkruismark uitskud. Sal dit aantreklik en winsgewend wees in die maande en jare wat kom, of sal hierdie geveg afgaan as 'n gier wat die meeste aanhangers bitter teleurgesteld gelaat het? As dit McGregor meer bekend maak as wat hy reeds is, dit is 'n wen, so ek sal graag wil sien hoe hy daardie wen iets beteken. As hy 'n manier kan vind om al die vegters op die UFC-lys te help om meer van die geld op die tafel te kry, Ek is in sy hoek.

VETERAN FIGHTERS RETURN TO THE NEF CAGE ON NOVEMBER 3RD IN PORTLAND

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (Augustus 25, 2017) -Nuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onVrydag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. John “First Class” Ray (2-8) sal voldoen Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera (0-5) at a catchweight of 150-pounds.

For John Raio, the bout will mark his return to the cage after more than two years. Raio retired following his rematch with Bruce Boyington (13-11) in Junie 2015. He has decided to make one more run at competing. Competition has been in Raio’s blood since his youth. He won a Maine state championship wrestling for Gardiner Area High School in 1995, and he went on to wrestle for Plymouth State University and the University of Southern Maine. While working for the United States Postal Service, Raio began competing in MMA in 2012. Since his retirement, Raio has concentrated on training fighters at his gym First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. He has led several to championship gold in the NEF cage while working full-time at his current position with Bath Iron Works (BIW).

“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Said Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 keer in drie jaar. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. Op November 3rd, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.

“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” Said Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”

NEF se volgende gemengde martial-kuns gebeurtenis, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Vrydag, November 3, 2017. Kaartjies is te koop nou op www.auramaine.com.

HOMETOWN PRIDE IS ON THE LINE IN BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLE AT NEF 31

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (Augustus 24, 2017) -Nuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onVrydag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bantamweight bout to the card. Henry Clark (3-3) is geskeduleer om gesig Carl Langston (6-9) op 'n stryd gewig van 135-pond.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. Since his debut in the fall of 2014, Clark has been known for producing exciting moments in the NEF cage. In a memorable bout with Langston’s Young’s MMA teammate, and current NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion, Fred Lear (6-2), Clark held onto a triangle choke while Lear viciously slammed him not once but twice. He will look to break a two-fight losing streak with what Clark predicts to be a dominant performance against Langston in front of his hometown fans.

“Portland is my town,” declared Clark. “Op November 3rd, I’m showing up to prove that. I’ve got a great opponent in Carl who always shows up to fight, but I’m planning on keeping it a dominant, one-sided affair. Truly my only desire is that of violence, my only intention is victory. Both will be achieved.”

Like Clark, Carl Langston calls Portland home. With a background in Taekwondo, Langston has thrilled NEF fans on numerous occasions with his prolific striking abilities. He knocked out Alex Johnson (2-3) with a series of violent kicks to the body in Langston’s last NEF appearance. Langston says this will be his last amateur fight before turning professional.

“This will be my last amateur fight and there isn’t any better way to go out fighting for NEF’s first card in my hometown in Portland,” stated Langston. “I’m super pumped to be part of this card! Sover my opponent, he’s a good guy and I have nothing bad to say about him, but come fight time, I’m going to walk through him. He won’t make it out of the second round. He has nothing to offer me.”

NEF se volgende gemengde martial-kuns gebeurtenis, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Vrydag, November 3, 2017. Kaartjies is te koop nou op www.auramaine.com.

FIRST NEF WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP WILL BE AWARDED ON NOVEMBER 3RD

Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (Augustus 23, 2017) - New England Fights (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland on Vrydag, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts title bout to the card. Alex Walker (4-1) sal plaasvind op Hilarie Rose (4-3) to crown the first-ever NEF MMA Amateur Strawweight Women’s Champion. The fight is scheduled to be contested at the strawweight limit of 115 pond.

Alex Walker is a three-fight veteran of the NEF cage. Since losing her debut in the spring of 2015, Walker has been on a tear throughout the New England MMA circuit. She has won her last four in a row with three of those victories coming by way of submission. Op “NEF 29,” this past June in Lewiston, Maine, Walker forced Sarah Ziehm (1-1) to tap to an arm bar. She trains with Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire. According to Walker, she is excited to have an opponent to strike with in the form of Rose.

“This girl is a more than a game opponent–she’s also a good striker,” exclaimed Walker. “She won’t back down. This will be a hell of a stand up fight! We’re going to put on a good bout. I’m looking forward to having an opponent that will trade punches and not back down!”

If it is a striking match Walker is looking for, she will indeed find it in Hilarie Rose. Rose, who trains at USMMA in Bellingham, Massachusetts, burst onto the local fight scene in late 2014 with an ultra-brutal switch kick knockout of Tiffany McCoy (2-1). She has won her last two fights, and Rose is determined to end Walker’s streak to become the first-ever NEF women’s champion.

“I’m looking forward to fighting Alex for NEF’s first woman’s strawweight championship,” said Rose. “Alex has won her last few fights and looks like she’s got quick arm locks. Met wat gesê het, her winning streak ends on November 3rd, and I’m bringing the NEF belt home with me. I’m excited to show Maine and the NEF fans my skills.”
