Sanders fought on ten of the first fifteen NEF cards, including the company’s co-promotion with Bellator in the spring of 2013. After more than a two-year absence from NEF, Sanders returned to the promotion in August 2016 and went on a five-fight win-streak over the course of the next yearthe longest streak of his career. During that stint, Sanders captured his first gold in NEFthe coveted professional lightweight titlewith a victory over Jon Lemke (7-8) vorige lente. The bout with McGuiness will be Sandersfirst in the NEF cage since August 2017. He will be looking to bounce back from a loss in Massachusetts last month. Sanders is a longtime member of Bangor, Maine’s Young’s MMA fight team.

I’m ecstatic to be back fighting for the NEF, it has been too long,” said Sanders. “I’m back to show the fans that I’m the best lightweight in the region, and that I’m on the road to be the best lightweight in the world. I really appreciate Vince taking this fight. I look forward to showing my improvements and the work that I’ve been putting in while away from the cage. I have great coaches, teammates, and an amazing wife in my corner that makes me truly feel unstoppable. Come watch me take another step towards my destiny on Juni 16 in Portland.

A native of Brooklyn, New York and current head coach of Bang Muay Thai in Tampa, Florida, Vince McGuiness is no stranger to the New England MMA scene. His two most recent fights have been in Massachusetts, and McGuiness has even competed previously on a Portland fight card in 2015. He will be looking to rebound against Sanders after losing his last four bouts in the cage.

“I’m excited to be back in New England fighting again,” said McGuiness. “I always get love up there. I’m ready to put on a scrap!"

I am looking forward to getting back in there and testing myself again and getting to witness how much better I have gotten at the sport. Sarah and I both made our debuts at ‘NEF 31’ in november, and I can’t wait to overcome the new challenges she has for me and to get my first win in the cage.”

Ik ben klaar voor de uitdaging, and definitely respect anyone who puts in the time and dedication it takes to get out there. Thank you to Amanda for committing to this fight, and I plan to leave it all in the cage putting on a good show in the process!”

Thank you to NEF for allowing me to fight for them again,” said Gallo. “I had a lot of fun fighting Jayda at NEF 32 – she was a tough opponent. I’m sure Brianne will also be a fun match. I’m looking forward to putting on a good show for Maine and hopefully bringing home another win to Florida.

cid:image002.jpg@01D3DAE9.FA49C4D0

MICHAEL MCDONALD UITDAGT VOORMAL BANTAMWEIGHT WERELDKAMPIOEN EDUARDO DANTAS IN CO-MAIN EVENT

LOS ANGELES - Op vrijdag, Juli 13, Julia Budd (11-2) zal haar wereldtitel in het vedergewicht verdedigen tegen de Braziliaanse jiujitsu-aas Talita Nogueira (7-0), in het main event van Bellator 202 bij WinStar World Casino en Resort. Bovendien, de co-headliner zal voormalig Bellator-wereldkampioen zijn Eduardo Dantas (20-5) nemen Michael McDonald (18-4) in een bantamgewicht-clash van topkandidaten.

 

Bellator 202: Budd vs.. Walnoot wordt live en gratis uitgezonden op Paramount Network op 9 p.m. ET / 8 p.m. CT, terwijl de voorbereidende actie zal streamen Bellator.comen wereldwijd op de Bellator mobiele app. Tickets for the event go on sale this Friday, April 20 en kan worden gekocht bij de kassa van WinStar World Casino en Resort, evenals via Ticketmaster en Bellator.com. Extra gevechten worden in de komende weken aangekondigd.

 

 

 

Julia Budd, de enige vechter die bovenaan de vedergewichtdivisie van Bellator voor dames zit, heeft Germaine de Randamie verslagen, Arlene Blencowe en Marloes Coenen onder andere namen in de loop van haar achtjarige mixed martial arts-carrière. "The Jewel" is ook de enige vrouw die Gina Carano versloeg in de Muay-Thai-competitie. Nu, de in Canada geboren en voormalige STRIKEFORCE-concurrent, keert terug naar Oklahoma, waar ze haar tweede titelverdediging maakt sinds ze vorig jaar de titel won bij Bellator 174.

 

 

 

Talita Nogueira was al tot wereldkampioen jiu-jitsu gekroond voordat ze haar hand testte in MMA. "Treta" bleef ongeslagen in zes MMA-wedstrijden in haar geboortestad Sao Paulo, Brazilië tussen 2009 en 2013, voordat hij tekent om te concurreren met Bellator. Oorspronkelijk gepland om Budd te bevechten bij Bellator 133, Nogueira liep een blessure op die haar dwong zich terug te trekken uit de wedstrijd. Haar langverwachte promotiedebuut vond uiteindelijk plaats op Bellator 182, waar de 32-jarige een inzending in de eerste ronde scoorde over Amanda Bell. De door Demain Maia getrainde jager krijgt nu een tweede kans om te strijden tegen Budd, en deze keer, het wereldkampioenschap staat op het spel.

 

 

 

Voormalig tweevoudig wereldkampioen Eduardo "Dudu" Dantas heeft zichzelf bewezen als een eeuwige top-10 bantamgewichtvechter met indrukwekkende prestaties over Joe Warren, Marcos Galvao (x2), Wilson Reis en Zach Makovsky. De Bellator Season 5 toernooikampioen heeft een indrukwekkende 10-2 record met Bellator tijdens zijn zevenjarige ambtstermijn met de promotie. De 29-jarige traint naast Jose Aldo bij het beroemde Nova Uniao-team in zijn geboortestad Rio de Janeiro en is op zoek naar nog een kans op Bellator-goud.

 

 

 

Professioneel vechten sinds de leeftijd van 16, McDonald is een steunpilaar geweest in de bantamgewicht-ranglijst voor het grootste deel van 11 jaar. De opwindende Braziliaanse jiu-jitsu zwarte band heeft een verbazingwekkende eindscore behaald, hij bereikte slechts drie keer de scorekaarten van de jury in zijn 22 gevechten. "Mayday" maakte zijn Bellator-debuut in 2017, een overwinning scoren Peter Ligier, ondanks zijn hand breken vroeg in de strijd. Nu zijn hand volledig is genezen, de voormalige uitdager van de wereldtitel uit Modesto, Calif. zal kijken om Dantas July te verslaan 13 op Paramount Network.

Wereldtitelwedstrijd vedergewicht dames: Julia Budd (11-2) vs. Talita Nogueira (7-0)

LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT BOUT IN PORTLAND WILL FEATURE THE RETURN OF MAINE MMA FAN-FAVORITES

Portland, Maine (April 23, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) keert terug naar Aura in Portland, Maine met zijn volgende mixed-martial-arts-evenement, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” op zaterdag nacht, Juni 16, 2018. Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the card. Mike “De Snor” Hansen (5-9) is gepland om Buck “Knokkels” Pineau (1-5) bij een gevecht gewicht van 205-pond.

Mike Hansen, a veteran combat engineer with the US Army and former state wrestling champion out of Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine, will look to get back on the winning track after five straight losses in the MMA cage. His last victory was in the fall of 2016 when Hansen handed Matt Andrikut (2-1) his first taste of defeat as a professional. He is determined to snap his losing streak on Juni 16 in Portland against Pineau. Hansen is a founding member of Berserkers MMA based in Rumford.

“Ik ben opgewonden om terug te krijgen in de kooi,” said Hansen. “I had to take some time off to let some injuries heal and coach the wrestling team. Now that that’s done, it’s time to get back at it. I’m happy to fight a guy like Buck. I know we have both been on a rough patch and lost some fights, but by the end of the night on 16 juni, someone’s losing streak will end. I’m going to make sure I leave with a win in June.

Op Juni 16 it will have been 45 maanden – nearly four yearssince Buck Pineau last competed in the NEF cage. Pineau was a staple on early NEF cards. From the company’s inception in February 2012 totdat “NEF 14” in september 2014, Pineau fought on a total of eight NEF events. Bij “NEF 9” in Biddeford, Maine, he fought in what is regarded as one of the most memorable bouts in the promotion’s history, tearing ligaments in his knee early in the fight but still pulling out a unanimous decision victory over Isaiah Queen (2-4). Despite staying active in recent years outside of Maine, Pineau has never competed in the NEF cage as a professional. He has lost his last four-in-a-row, and like Hansen, is looking to get back on track with a much-needed win atNEF 34.Pineau is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Topsham, Maine.

I am very excited and for this opportunity to step back into the NEF cage and put on a show,” exclaimed Pineau when reached for comment. “I’ve had a lot of memorable fights with NEF, and I’m looking to make this another one! I’ve seen the majority of Mike’s fights. I know he’s a rugged guy who always brings it, so I’m extra excited to get in there and spill some blood together. Zoals gewoonlijk, I will be looking to keep the distance and let these hands and feet go! This is going to be a good fight!”

NEF's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Huis van de dapperen,” vindt plaats in Aura in Portland, Maine op zaterdag, Juni 16, 2018. Tickets zijn nu online te koop op www.AuraMaine.com.

Ik vecht tegen een sterke en ervaren tegenstander, die ik veel respecteer, maar ik zal er klaar voor zijn en dat zal vechtnacht laten zien. ”

 

 

De co-feature is een middengewicht confrontatie tussen een ervaren Russische jager Mikhail Zayats (23-8-0, M-1: 13-5-0) en verleden M-1 Challenge middengewicht titel uitdager Caio “Hellboy” Magalhaes (10-4-0, M-1: 1-1-0), van Brazilië. Zayats heeft gevochten in Bellator, Magalhaes in de UFC. Afgelopen oktober, Magalhaes verloor zijn M-1 Challenge middengewicht titeluitdaging van kampioen Artem Frolov door middel van een unaniem besluit van vijf ronden, hemelbekleding M-1 Challenge 84.

 

 

 

Een ander hoofdkaartgevecht werd aangekondigd met een van China's beste MMA-jagers, onze “Iron Koning” Nuertiebieke (12-2-0, M-1: 0-1-0) versus Amerikaans vedergewicht Daniel Swain (17-8-1, M-1: 0-0-1).
