DANGER MOUSE LOOKS TO CONTINUE HIS WINNING WAYS AT NEF 28

Lewiston, Maine (March 13, 2017) – New England njà (NEF) ṣe afihan iṣẹlẹ atẹle adalu-ti ologun-ọna “NEF 28: AILAGBARA” lojo satide, April 29, 2017 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni Lewiston, Maine. Sẹyìn loni, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Elias “Ewu Asin” Leland (3-2) returns to take on Omiiran “The FinisherBelcarris (0-0) ni a ija àdánù ti 135-poun.

Leland, a resident of South Portland, Maine, is a mainstay of the NEF cage. He fought his sophomore amateur contest atNEF Iback 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.” In doing so, 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 fightyou 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 sincean 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. Reti ise ina!”

FNU COMBAT SPORTS SHOW: Lou Duva Tribute Show, Psychic Tom Padgett absolutely crushes UFC 209 Predictions, Garcia la. Thurman Recap and Analysis

Tony Penecale (osi) and Lou Duva (otun) 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 aye aṣaju-, and a man who had all his irons in the one fire that lit his life: Boxing. 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:

Lewis has been absent from the NEF cage since picking up his first MMA victory as a professional last spring. Lori April 29, it will be just over a year since Lewis submitted Zenon Herrera (0-5) in front of a capacity crowd in Lewiston atNEF 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) ni Auburn, Maine.

“First si pa, I’d like to thank NEF for having me on another show,” Said Lewis. “I’d like to thank my team and coacheswe are putting in lots of work preparing for this fight with Dominic. Bi fun mi alatako, 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, agbara, 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 babylet’s do the talking in the cage!”

Jones will be making his professional debut, as well as his NEF debut, lori 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.

“Mo wa yiya fun yi ija,” 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 amateurthis is the future and it’s the next level that I have my eyes on.

KNOCKOUT ARTIST UP NEXT FOR HARVEY AT NEF 28

Lewiston, Maine (March 8, 2017) – New England njà (NEF) ṣe afihan iṣẹlẹ atẹle adalu-ti ologun-ọna “NEF 28: AILAGBARA” lojo satide, April 29, 2017 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni Lewiston, Maine. Sẹyìn loni, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (3-0) yoo pade Eric “Owo” Mendiola (2-1) ni a ija àdánù ti 145-poun.

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. Julọ laipe, Harvey submitted Richie Collingham (3-4) osu to koja ni “NEF 27.”

“'Owo’ 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, irorun ati ara,” 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!”
