DANGER MOUSE LOOKS TO CONTINUE HIS WINNING WAYS AT NEF 28

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 13, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Saterdag, April 29, 2017 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (3-2) returns to take on Ander “The Finisher” Belcarris (0-0) op 'n stryd gewig van 135-pond.

Leland, a resident of South Portland, Maine, is a mainstay of the NEF cage. He fought his sophomore amateur contest at “NEF I” back in February 2012 and has competed on eight of the promotion’s cards since, including one appearance as a professional boxer. Holding a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, it should come as no surprise that all three of Leland’s professional victories have come by way of submission. He forced veteran Nick Santos to tap to an arm triangle choke last month at “NEF 27.” Deur dit te doen, Leland snapped a two-fight losing streak. He will look to stay on the winning track on April 29.

“I’m very excited to get back in the cage once again,” Said Leland. “I want to keep this momentum going. I’m ready for war and putting in more work this year than I ever have before. Be prepared for a hell of a fight – you will be sorry if you miss it! Mother f**king beast mode!”

Andre Belcarris will make his professional debut at “NEF 28,” but he already has a wealth of experience in the MMA cage. He began competing in the sport as an amateur in 2010 and has had more than 30 fights since – an astounding number for an amateur mixed-martial-artist. Belcarris fights out of Bennington, Vermont where he is a member of team Northeast Assassins. In direct contrast to Leland’s mat skills, Belcarris is a striker with 11 knockout wins to his credit in the amateur ranks.

“I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Eli’s caliber,” stated Belcarris when reached for comment. “It means that my time has finally come. Verwag vuurwerke!”

LIVE ON AZTECA AMERICA AND UFC FIGHT PASS®

BANTAMWEIGHT MAIN EVENT: MARCELO “PITBULL” ROJO VS. IVAN FLORES

Featherweight Co-Main Event:
Walter Zamora vs. Alex “Gallito” Flores

Meer:
Erick “Ghost Pepper” Gonzalez vs. Marco Antonio “La Roca” Elpidio
Joey “El Cazador” Ruquet vs. Jose Salasar

NEW YORK – Maart 10, 2017 – Combate Americas announced its second event of the year in a Mexican territory – a debut visit to the city of Tijuana – op Donderdag, Maart 30, live on Azteca America (10 namiddag. EN/PT) and UFC Fight Pass® (8 namiddag. EN/5 namiddag. PT), from Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez Moreno.

In die kapokgewig (135 pond) hoofren, Argentynse Marcelo “Pitbull” Rojo (10-4) will square off with fellow rising star and Monterrey, Mexico native Iván “El Brasil” Flores (8-1-1).

Rojo, a semifinalist on the third season of The Ultimate Fighter Latin America, will make his promotional debut in La Jaula, die Combate Amerikas hok, and set out to prove that he has the tools necessary to lead Combate Americas’ fast-growing, 135-pond afdeling.

“I’m not only here as a guest. I came here to become the most important fighter in my division,” said Rojo. “MMA has grown in Argentina, and it’s about time that we show that on this side of the continent. This fight will be a duel between the North against South.”

On the other side, Blomme, who suffered his first career defeat at the hands of unbeaten Mark “The Bumblebee” Delarosa at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City, Mexico on Januarie 19, now wants to return to the win column immediately.

“When you face a Mexican fighter, you have to be prepared for the most difficult fight of your life. I hope (Rojo) is aware of that, if he wants to be victorious” said Flores.

Rojo will fight for the first time in Mexico after an extensive career in South American arenas where he has become one of the most popular fighters in the region.

In the featherweight (145 pond) mede-hoofren, Walter Zamora (9-2) of Costa Rica will battle Alex “Gallito” Flores (8-1) of Monterrey.

Zamora’s debut in Combate Americas will once again personify the sports rivalry between Mexican and Central American fighters.

“Mexico is always the one to beat at any sport,” Zamora explained. “It won’t be any different against Flores. We are going to put on a good show. It will be a spectacular evening because the best fighters of the Americas will be present in Tijuana.”

In other action in La Jaula, Erick “Ghost Pepper” González (5-2) Los Angeles, Kalifornië. will return to action just six weeks after his heroic, “Fight of the Night” performance against Danny “The Realist” Ramírez at Combate11 on February 16.

Gonzalez will battle Marco Antonio “La Roca” Elpidio (7-1) of Mexico City in a lightweight (155 pond) verhouding. Elpidio was victorious by way of split decision over Rodrigo “Kazula” Vargas at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City.

Gonzalez’s three-fight win streak was snapped when he gave up a unanimous decision to Ramirez.

In another bantamweight scrap, Joey “El Cazador” Ruquet (4-1) van Las Vegas, Nev. sal bots met Jose Salasar (4-2) van Tijuana.

Ruquet notched a spectacular victory by submission (agter-naak verstik) in die tweede ronde (1:47) of action against Jose “The Ghost” Ceja at the Combate Americas event in Mexico City.

Additional Combate12 bouts will be announced soon.

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 10, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Saterdag, April 29, 2017 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine.

Matt “Pretty Boy” Probin (0-0) sal voldoen Rob “The Beast” Best (0-0) op 'n stryd gewig van 145-pond.

Probin, a well known boxer, kickboxer and mixed-martial-artist, came to Maine and began training in the Pine Tree State in 2015. A native of Blackpool, Engeland, Probin had spent time training in North Carolina prior to arriving in Maine. He put together a 6-2 record as an amateur MMA competitor and won a regional title in the Carolinas. While he has not competed in MMA since moving to Maine, Probin has stayed active competing in other combat sports. Hy is 2-2 as 'n professionele bokser, and he has also spent time training Muay Thai in Thailand in recent years. Probin even competed at the world famous Bangla Boxing Stadium – one of Thailand’s premier Muay Thai venues. He will make his professional MMA debut on April 29 as 'n lid van Bangor, Maine’s Young’s MMA.

“I feel like this has been a long time coming,” said Probin when reached for comment. “I’m excited to make my debut for NEF and put on a show for my friends and fans in my adopted hometown. Moenie knip!”

With more than two-dozen fights since 2011, Rob Best has been one of the Northeast’s most continuously active MMA competitors in recent years.

FNU KOMBAT SPORTSKOU: Lou Duva Tribute Show, Psychic Tom Padgett absolutely crushes UFC 209 Predictions, Garcia vs. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Skryf 'n opmerking
Tony Penecale (verlaat) and Lou Duva (reg) at the Brockton, Massachusetts dedication of the Rocky Marciano statue.

Our show this week was dedicated to Lou Duva (above right with our co-host Tony Penecale). Lou died earlier this week at the ripe old age of 1994. He was a great friend to Rocky Marciano, a promoter of 19 wêreldkampioene, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: boks. The promoter/trainer/manager/legend appeared on the FNU Combat Sports show years back, but unfortunately the audio is grainy and spotty. If you listen closely the gems our talk contains outweigh the difficult spots to hear.

The full Lou Duva interview is here:

A DEBUT AND A RETURN ON APRIL 29 IN LEWISTON

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 9, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Saterdag, April 29, 2017 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, die gevegpromosie het die toevoeging van 'n professionele vanggewig-aanval op die kaart aangekondig. Tollison Lewis (1-5) is geskeduleer om gesig “Die Dominator” Dominic Jones (0-0) op 'n stryd gewig van 150-pond.

Lewis has been absent from the NEF cage since picking up his first MMA victory as a professional last spring. Op April 29, it will be just over a year since Lewis submitted Zenon Herrera (0-5) in front of a capacity crowd in Lewiston at “NEF 22.” A two-sport athlete, Lewis has split his time in the last couple of years between the NEF cage and the NEF boxing ring where he has put together a record of 2-2. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) in Auburn, Maine.

“Eerstens, I’d like to thank NEF for having me on another show,” het Lewis gesê. “I’d like to thank my team and coaches – we are putting in lots of work preparing for this fight with Dominic. Soos vir my opponent, he’s already looking past me. He thinks it will be a walk through. He wants an easy fight for his debut, but it’s not happening. He’s a talented guy, but I’ll have the experience, size, krag, striking and BJJ. He’s a very good wrestler, but I’m not worried about being on the ground. This will be a war and I will have my hand raised at the end. Dom, let’s do it baby – let’s do the talking in the cage!”

Jones will be making his professional debut, as well as his NEF debut, op April 29. He got an early start in the martial arts, training Taekwondo with his father at six-years-old. Jones would go on to excel in wrestling during his high school days. He later entered the MMA ranks after joining First Coast Full Contact/Team Riot in his native Jacksonville, Florida. Jones put together an impressive 8-1 record as an amateur while capturing three regional titles. Since moving to New England, Jones has trained at First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

“Ek is opgewonde vir hierdie stryd,” said Jones. “Much respect to Tollison. This is a great fight to kick off my pro debut. I’m training very hard for this bout and I want to show the Maine crowd and NEF who I am! I’m not looking back at the past on what I’ve done as amateur – this is the future and it’s the next level that I have my eyes on.”

KNOCKOUT ARTIST UP NEXT FOR HARVEY AT NEF 28

Skryf 'n opmerking

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 8, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Saterdag, April 29, 2017 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (3-0) sal voldoen Eric “Geld” Mendiola (2-1) op 'n stryd gewig van 145-pond.

Harvey, the former NEF amateur division lightweight champion, is undefeated to date since making his professional debut last spring. With a solid amateur boxing background, as well as the pedigree of a two-time Maine state wrestling champion, matchmakers have had difficulty in finding opponents willing to step into the cage with him. The Young’s MMA prospect has displayed both devastating knockout power and slick submission skills throughout his career thus far. Mees onlangs, Harvey submitted Richie Collingham (3-4) verlede maand by “NEF 27.”

“'Money’ and I are the type of fight that takes the spotlight, and I know it’s one that people will be talking about for a long time,” remarked Harvey on the upcoming fight. “I’m prepared for war in this kill-or-be-killed contest.”

Mendiola, a product of Mohawk Valley MMA in the Utica, New York area, will make his first appearance in the NEF cage on April 29, but he is far from a newcomer to the sport of MMA. He had more than twenty amateur fights prior to turning pro in 2015. Mendiola has built a reputation as a knockout artist. After numerous knockout finishes in the amateur ranks, Mendiola put the lights out for his first two pro opponents, both in under a minute. He will look to rebound from his first loss as a pro last fall.

“I’m a different kind of focused for this fight, geestelik en fisies,” stated Mendiola when reached for comment. “Harvey looks like a tough kid with a good record, and I’m up for the challenge. I have a bad taste in my mouth from a couple of months ago, and I’m coming to lay it all on the line and showcase all of my skills. Let’s get to it!”
