2019 NEF YEAR END AWARDS “FIGHTER OF THE YEAR” NOMINEES ANNOUNCED

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 20, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) today announced the nominees for their annual Year End Awards for 2019’s “Fighter of the Year.” The four nominated fighters who earned top honors in 2019 foram: Josh “Hook On” Harvey (7-0-1) from Vision Quest Muay Thai; Glória "A Fúria" Watson (6-1) from Young’s MMA;Boucher “mochila” Nate (6-3) from Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ); eTom “The Phenom” Pagliarulo (5-1)from Burgess/Lauzon’s MMA.

Glória "A Fúria" Watson was more active than any other fighter on the NEF roster in 2019. Watson began her winning year at “NEF 37: SUBZERO” back in February when she stopped Wisconsin’sRachael Lippert (4-4) com uma guilhotina no terceiro round. A little over a month later, Watson earned a unanimous decision victory overAlyssa Marini (2-2) at a show in Massachusetts. Em junho, Watson won her first title when she decisioned Oregon’sCaree Hill (5-2) for the NEF Flyweight Championship. Em Setembro, Watson dropped down to strawweight for the first time and battered Canada’sLin MacMillan (0-2) via first round TKO at 1:23. Watson’s only defeat in 2019 came at the hands ofCara Greenwell (10-4) in November at “NEF 41: COLLISON COURSE” when she fell short of securing her second title, dropping a decision loss in the five-round championship bout. Watson went 4-1 em 2019 and secured the NEF Flyweight Championship, which she still holds today.

Boucher “mochila” Nate had a long road back to contending for a title (two full years, to be exact), but he made good on his goals and went undefeated and secured his first championship in 2019. Boucher began his MMA year back in February when he submitted newcomerDillon Henry (0-3) in under a minute via rear naked choke (RNC) at “NEF 37.” Boucher returned to the cage in June at “NEF 39: ALL AMERICAN” when he was scheduled to face Ohio’sRobert Presley (6-5) for the NEF Flyweight Championship, but a botched weight cut resulted in Boucher missing weight and the bout becoming a non-title affair. Boucher finished Presley, again with a rear naked choke, em 1:46 do primeiro turno. Em Novembro, Boucher made championship weight of 125.0 and facedSteve Desjardins (5-4) for the NEF 125-pound title that he had first fought and lost a split decision toJustin Witham (4-4) for back in November 2017. Boucher left nothing to chance this time and he finished Desjardins at 1:16 of round one thus becoming the NEF Flyweight Champion. Em 2019, Boucher went 3-0 with three first-round RNC finishes and won the NEF title.

Josh “Hook On” Harvey didn’t achieve the level of activity that he had hoped for going into 2019, but he still managed to secure the NEF professional Featherweight Championship and remain undefeated. Harvey began his year in front of his hometown fans in Bangor at “NEF 37” when he took out veteranBill “Jonesi” Jones (13-12) with a first round armlock submission-of-the-year candidate. With the win over Jones, Harvey became the NEF Featherweight Champion. Harvey was scheduled to return in June at “NEF 39” against Indiana’sJordan Downey (6-4), but an incorrect weight cut forced Harvey to seek medical attention and bow out of the bout at the last minute. In September at “NEF 40,” Harvey was originally scheduled to face his old training partner, Ricky Dexter (1-0), but when Dexter had to withdraw from the bout due to medical reasons,Dom “Domnation” Jones (2-3) stepped up on short notice to face Harvey. Harvey finished Jones in the first round, maintaining his perfect, undefeated record of first-round finishes. Harvey was scheduled to fight in November, but his opponent broke his contract in the final days leading up to the event and Harvey was left without a dance partner for “NEF 41.” All-in-all, Harvey went 2-0 em 2019 and became the NEF 145-pound Champion.

Tom “The Phenom” Pagliarulo was a new face that made a big impact in the Maine mixed martial arts scene in 2019. Pagliarulo made his first appearance in NEF when he showed up at “NEF 38: STORMBORN” to faceZac "Rocky" Richard (5-2-1) for the vacant NEF Featherweight Championship. Outwrestling the wrestler, Pagliarulo displayed a deft takedown game against Richard in route to earning the unanimous decision victory and becoming the NEF Featherweight Champion. Pagliarulo returned to defend his title for NEF’s first stop in Orono, Maine last September at “NEF 40.” Pagliarulo faced challenger Jimmy Jackson in front of Jackson’s northern hometown crowd. In this outing, Pagliarulo, traditionally known for his wrestling, put on a tight, crisp striking display. He damaged Jackson’s face so badly with his strikes in the first round that the cage side doctor determined that Jackson couldn’t continue and the fight was waved off after one round. Global, Pagliarulo went 2-0 in NEF 2019 and obtained the amateur NEF Featherweight Championship.

Fan voting to determine the winner of the 2019 NEF Year End Awards “Fighter of the Year” will officially open at 12:00pm na sexta-feira, Dezembro 20, 2019 and run until 5:00pm on Thursday, Dezembro 26, 2019. Fans will determine the outcome of the contest so all are encouraged to participate to vote for their favorite fighter.

THE MULE TRAIN ROLLS INTO MERRILL AUDITORIUM IN PORTLAND ON FEBRUARY 8

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 20, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card.Nate “The Mule” White(4-0) vai se reunirBrian Cosco (5-8) com um peso de luta de 158 libras.

2019 could very well be termed the “Year of the Mule” in hindsight. The MAGA-hat-wearing Nate White was a perfect 4-0 this past year, finishing all four of his opponents decisively. White has become known for stepping in at the last minute to save fights. In September, on just a few days’ notice, White took a fight with Ryan Savage (0-2).  Just hours before that fight, White was tased and pepper-sprayed as part of his National Guard training. He would go on to defeat Savage that evening. Last month, White was victorious over Austin Hamilton (0-1) at “NEF 41.” During his post-fight interview, White famously uttered the phrase “(Jeffrey) Epstein didn’t kill himself” before walking away from the microphone. White represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) de Lewiston, Maine. He is a nominee for “Rookie of the Year” in NEF for 2019.

“Brian comes into this bout with a lot of fight maturity and with a lot of maturity period—the dude is literally more than double my age,” said White.  “He’s got the edge in experience, but I’ve got the good looks on my side in this one. The Mule Train doesn’t slow down for anyone—especially not for Brian Cosco. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s going to find out what hardworking, unskilled labor feels like on February 8th. God Bless the USA, and God Bless our President to reelection in 2020, the Honorable Donald J. Trump.”

Brian Cosco is a longtime veteran of the New England cage wars having begun his amateur career in 2011. Like White, he is undefeated in the NEF cage. Cosco defeated Garry Carr (2-1) by doctor stoppage last April at “NEF 38.” He returned at “NEF 41” in November to submit Clifford Redman (0-11) in the first round. Cosco’s Von Flue choke on Redman is a nominee for “Submission of the Year” in the NEF 2019 Year-End Awards. He currently represents Redline Fight Sports based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“I’m excited to come back up to Maine and fight for NEF again where I’ll be fighting a hometown guy with an undefeated record—and that provides some extra motivation for me,” said Cosco.  “Nate’s young and has the potential to do big things in MMA, but timing is everything in the fight game and this is just a bad time to fight me. 2020 is going to be my year and it starts February 8th.”

58-YEAR-OLD GARRY CARR IS BACK IN ACTION AGAINST AUSTIN HAMILTON AT NEF 42

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 19, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card.Garry Carr(2-1) vai enfrentarAustin Hamilton (0-1) com um peso de luta de 165 libras.

Garry Carr currently holds the record for the oldest athlete to ever win a fight in the NEF cage. It is a record Carr first set at the age of 56 em 2017, broke at age 57 em 2019, and will attempt to break again at age 58 on February 8. Last summer, Carr defeated Clifford Redman (0-11) via first-round technical knockout at “NEF 39” in Lewiston, Maine. Carr looks to pick up his third win in the MMA cage at “NEF 42” in Portland. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) com sede em Lewiston.

“I cannot wait to get back in the NEF cage for the fourth time,” said Carr.  “This one will bring the house down or tear the roof clean off. It’s an honor to train and fight for team CMBJJ. Be sure to keep your eyes peeled – you’re going to see a lot of us on this card, including our fight team manager, Jesse “O Viking” Erickson. I’m looking to set another new NEF record by being the oldest man to win in the NEF cage at the age of 58. You’ve got to see this one, pessoal. Hit me up for tickets!”

Austin Hamilton made his cage debut at “NEF 41” last month in Portland. He lost to Carr’s CMBJJ teammate Nate “The Mule” White (4-0) by first-round technical knockout. He will now have the chance to avenge that loss when he meets Carr on February 8 em Portland.

“I’m really looking forward to getting a chance to redeem myself after the last fight,” said Hamilton. “I have nothing but respect for Garry, as so should anyone else in this game. I only hope that when I’m his age, I can still be doing this!"

JASON LANDRY LOOKS TO AVENGE FIRST LOSS WHEN NEF RETURNS TO PORTLAND

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 18, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the card.Jason Landry(2-1) está programado para assumirDustin Carrier(0-0) com um peso de luta de 170 libras.

Jason Landry burst onto the NEF fight scene earlier this year making more noise than any rookie had in some time. Landry dominated and submitted a much more experienced Justin Boraczek (4-3) in Landry’s debut at “NEF 38” last spring. In his follow-up effort, Landry nearly took Dan Seigars’ (0-1) face off with a single punch knockout just seven seconds into the first round.

Landry’s momentum, contudo, would come to a screeching halt this past September when he met Mike “Boogaloo” Bezanson (4-0) in Orono, Maine. After a wild opening exchange, Bezanson would stop Landry via technical knockout within the first minute of the first round. Not one to let a loss get him down, Landry has used it as a learning experience and motivation to return to the cage in the New Year.

“Fighting has always been a passion of mine,” stated Landry. “Going into that cage where it’s just man-to-man—there’s no better adrenaline rush than that. Losing is learning and is great fuel for the fire. I can’t wait to get back out there and put on one hell of a show for the NEF fans. Expect action-packed chaos!"

Dustin Carrier will be making his amateur debut on February 8, but he his team at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) will undoubtedly have him ready for the cage. Carrier trains at the Lewiston, Maine-based gym alongside longtime NEF competitors like Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-8) and former amateur flyweight titleholder Dustin Veinott (5-4).

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 16, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight fight to the card.Mike “Boogaloo” Bezanson(4-0) está programado para enfrentarGreg Ishihara(2-1) com um peso de luta de 170 libras.

Undefeated Mike Bezanson returned to NEF this past September after more than a three-year absence from cage competition. Bezanson, known for his flashy striking style and showmanship during fights, handed Jason Landry (2-1) his first loss at “NEF 40” in Orono, Maine. It took Bezanson only 41-seconds to pick up the technical knockout victory. He went on to capture a title in New Hampshire with a fourth-round knockout just weeks later. Bezanson has finished all four of his previous opponents with his striking prowess. He represents Team Kaze based in Lancaster, New Hampshire.

"Dentro 2020, I have to do some belt shopping—the one I currently hold is getting lonely and needs some friends,” said Bezanson.  “I’ll make sure the tickets are worth buying!”

Since losing his debut to Jordan Norman (2-1) last April, Greg Ishihara has been on a roll, winning his last two MMA bouts in the NEF cage and a Muay Thai Kickboxing fight in Vermont. Last month, Ishihara picked up his most recent win against Dylan Williams (0-3) with a knee to the body just over a minute into the first round at “NEF 41” in Portland. Ishihara represents Recon Fitness based in Westbrook, Maine.

“NEF has always treated me well,” noted Ishihara. “It means a lot to me – to be able to compete here in Maine. The NEF staff is always professional making for a great experience. I look forward to competing inside the NEF cage in 2020. I’m excited for this upcoming fight with Mike. He’s flashy and his movement is impressive. This fight will give me the opportunity to display the full range of my skill set. I’m diligent in my preparation and I take pride in my work and performance. My goal is to hold the NEF title at 170-pounds and defend it.”

CALEB Austin e DILLON HENRY reunir-se em peso mosca confronto AT NEF 42

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 13, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur flyweight fight to the card.Caleb “Dr. Feelgood ”Austin(3-0) vai se reunirDillon Henry(0-3) com um peso de luta de 125 libras.

Undefeated Caleb Austin returned to NEF this past fall after more than two years. It took Austin just over a minute to pound out a victory over Cory Richards (0-1) at “NEF 40” in September. In November, Austin went into the second round with Ryan Fogg (0-1) before picking up another technical knockout win. With current amateur flyweight champion Nate Boucher (6-3) turning pro at “NEF 42,” Austin will be considered one of the top contenders to the vacant strap should he get past Henry.

Success in athletics is nothing new to Caleb Austin. He put together an impressive record of 208-11 wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine and won state titles at 126 pounds his junior and senior years. The Lewiston Sun Journal named Austin the “Wrestler of the Year” in 2017. After graduation, Austin continued wrestling while attending the University of Southern Maine. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) de Lewiston, Maine.

“The amount of support that I’ve received since September when I made my return to the MMA cage has been humbling,” said Austin. “I’m in the gym and running every single day with February on my mind. Going 2-0 this fall season was great, but I’ve got bigger things in front of me for 2020. I will win the NEF Flyweight Championship next year and Dillon Henry is just the next obstacle in front of me on my way toward that goal. I want to win more quickly and more cleanly every time I get in the cage. It’s an honor every time I get to fight in front of the NEF fans—and I can’t wait to do it again at the Merrill Auditorium on February 8th.”

Dillon Henry comes to the cage on February 8 looking for the first win of his amateur career. Henry debuted last February against the aforementioned Nate Boucher who already had six fights under his belt at the time. This past September Henry competed against Stephen Desjardins who came into that bout as a seven-fight veteran. Henry was getting the upper hand against Desjardins until he dislocated his own shoulder throwing a punch in the first round. He currently represents First Class MMA of Brunswick, Maine.

“I was going say a lot, but life can take unexpected turns and you start fighting for new reasons,” said Henry.  “I look forward to February 8th, enough said.”

“A fighter is more than his record and Dillon Henry is a great example of that,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “Dillon is always taking tough fights with the goal of getting better as an amateur so that he can eventually make his mark as a pro. Caleb is his next challenge and I’m certain that Dillon will bring the fight and make this a fun one for us as fans. Caleb came in quickly made an impact over the fall season. Can he continue his undefeated streak to start off a new year and a new decade? We’ll find out February 8th.”

TOP RANKED LIGHTWEIGHT RETURNS TO NEF CAGE AGAINST DECORATED ARMY RANGER

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 12, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card.Mohammad Al Kinani(7-1) vai assumirJustin Middleton (1-0) com um peso de luta de 155 libras.

Mohammad Al Kinani is currently the number-one-ranked lightweight amateur in all of New England MMA. He last appeared in the NEF cage in November 2018. Al Kinani holds a perfect record of 3-0 with the promotion and has finished all three opponents in the first round via technical knockout. One of the top prospects in the region, Al Kinani represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’m excited as always to fight in Portland,” noted Al Kinani.  “It’s different fighting in Portland. I have a lot to prove against Justin Middleton February 8th at Merrill Auditorium. Be ready to see a different animal to start up the New Year. Portland is my town – my territory.”

Justin Middleton burst onto the NEF fight scene with an upset victory over Jon Assam (1-2) last month at “NEF 41” in Portland. Middleton came into the bout as the underdog as it was both his debut against the more experienced Assam and Assam represented an established fight team while Middleton was an independent competitor. He submitted Assam via rear-naked choke in the first round. Middleton is a longtime, distinguished, and heavily-decorated Army Ranger that served the United States proudly in Iraq.

“I’m honored to have such a seasoned and accomplished opponent so early in my career,” said Middleton.  “I know that it’s going to be a challenge, and I will be training accordingly. 155 is the optimum performance weight for me, and I will be coming with everything I’ve got. I’m sure Mo and I will give the fans a war.”

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 10, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020 no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF anunciou a adição de uma luta de peso catch profissional ao card.Boucher “mochila” Nate fará sua estréia profissional contra“Sleepy” Norman Fox (0-1) com um peso de combate de 130 libras-.

2019 foi um ano excepcional para Boucher. Ele terminou sua carreira amadora com um estelar 6-3 recorde e conquistou o título amador peso mosca do NEF no "NEF 41" no mês passado, no que seria sua última luta amador. Boucher venceu suas últimas quatro lutas consecutivas - todas por finalização no primeiro assalto por mata-leão. Pouco depois da vitória do título, Boucher se envolveu em uma discussão acalorada no Facebook com Fox, que o desafiou a entrar nas fileiras profissionais para lutar contra ele. Boucher foi rápido em aceitar o desafio. Ele atualmente representa Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) de Lewiston, Maine.

“Eu fechei 2019 fazendo exatamente o que eu disse que faria,”Afirmou Boucher.  "Eu fui 3-0 e ganhou o título de peso mosca amador do New England Fights. Eu planejava tirar um tempo para me concentrar na chegada do meu filho ainda não nascido. Contudo, Norman falou muito e pediu para lutar. Assim, Eu fiz o que os lutadores fazem e peguei a luta imediatamente. Norman terá uma longa noite em 8 de fevereiro. Espero que ele se prepare totalmente para isso. Do jeito que eu vejo, Recebi um presente para começar minha carreira profissional. Obrigado ao Cure Cannabis e ao resto dos meus patrocinadores e apoiadores leais por me ajudar a chegar a este ponto em minha carreira - estou ansioso para o próximo nível com todos vocês. ”

Norman Fox retorna à jaula NEF após um hiato de quatro anos da competição. Ele foi visto pela última vez no "NEF 21" em fevereiro 2016 em um esforço perdedor em sua estreia profissional. Fox foi 4-2 como amador, terminando seus oponentes em todas as quatro de suas vitórias. Fox é atualmente um membro da First Class MMA com sede em Brunswick, Maine.

“Nate é unidimensional,”Declarou Fox.  “Tudo o que ele pode fazer é lutar. Se ele não atirar imediatamente para uma queda, ele vai assim que minhas mãos tocarem seu rosto. Eu sou perigoso em qualquer lugar. Se ele conseguir colocar a luta no chão, ele vai se arrepender.”

A luta catchweight junta-se a uma programação já repleta de estrelas na parte profissional do card. Anunciado anteriormente para "NEF 42" é uma luta pelo título profissional leve de cinco rounds entre o ex-campeão do NEF e veterano da World Series of FightingBruce Boyington "Pretty Boy" (17-11) e veterano do WEC e UFCJosh “The Fluke” Grispi(14-5).  Outra luta de peso leve anunciada para "NEF 42" contará com dois favoritos dos fãs do Maine como campeão profissional peso pena do NEFJosh “Hook On” Harvey(7-0-1) coloca sua invencibilidade em jogo contraJesse “O Viking” Erickson (9-8) em um encontro sem título.
