FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.

 

 

Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.

 

 

“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, jy weet?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”

 

 

Arnold, wat blyk 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.

 

 

Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Saterdag, Februarie 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Saterdag."

 

 

Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian in 1 minute, 54 sekondes.

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Hy is 'n vegter. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Ek het 'n baie respek vir hom. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”

 

 

Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” toekenning. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.

 

 

"Ja, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”

 

 

A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.

 

Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.

 

 

“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”

 

 

In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.

 

 

“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Ongelukkig, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”

 

 

Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.

 

 

He fell in love with professional wrestling, Plaasmoorde, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” het hy gesê.

 

 

While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.

 

 

“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, when I was 18 of 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, wat blyk 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”

 

 

Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.

 

 

Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.

 

 

“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.

 

 

“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”

 

 

When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.

 

 

“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”

 

 

The opening bell Februarie 3 is vir 7 namiddag. Kaartjies is beskikbaar by www.TheColisee.com of deur die loket te skakel by207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Die enigste vroulike vegter in die geskiedenis sowel as die enigste Puerto Rikaanse mededinger ooit tot vyf wêreldtitels wen in vyf verskillende gewig afdelings, die 29-jarige Serrano wat gebore is in Carolina, Puerto Rico en gevegte uit Brooklyn, N.Y., sal haar Mixed Martial Arts maak (Plaasmoorde) debuut in La jaula, die Combate Amerikas hok, op 'n Maart datum binnekort bekend gemaak word.

 

 

"Ons is opgewonde om Amanda Serrano bring, een van die mees opwindende supersterre boks se toetrede tot die Combate Amerikas familia, en sien uit daarna om die plasing van haar op 'n globale verhoog wat die eiendom premier sports in 21 Spaans sprekende lande wêreldwyd,"Het Combate Amerikas CEO Campbell McLaren.

 

 

Serrano, 'n top 10 pond-vir-pond vegter, sal haar ontluikende boks loopbaan voort te sit onder die bevordering van DiBella Vermaak, en poog om die eerste atleet in die geskiedenis geword om gelyktydig wêreld titels hou in MMA en boks.

 

 

Serrano vasgevang haar eerste groot wêreldtitel, die Internasionale Boksfederasie (IBF) super veergewig kroon, op net 22 jaar oud, met 'n wrede, tweede-ronde knockout van Kimberly Connor op September 10, 2011.

 

 

Sy het sedertdien geskeur deur die geledere van vegters in vier ander gewig afdelings, wat wissel van kapokgewig om liggewig (135 pond), en mees onlangs behaal 'n eerste ronde TKO op Marilyn Hernandez op November 4, 2017.

Spanning loop hoog as voormalige Valke spanmaats te berei vir MMA Cage Slag

Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 10, 2018) – Grootword in dieselfde blou-kraag gemeenskap en die bevordering van deur dieselfde, boeiende sport program nie noodwendig twee mans beste vriende te maak.

 

 

 

Voormalige Mountain Valley High School spanmaats, en toekomstige New England veg gemengde martial arts teenstanders, Ryan Burgess en Nate Boucher is bewyse van die ou maxim, “bekendheid teel minagting.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, en Boucher, 21, sal veg in 'n amateur vlieggewig bout by "NEF 32: Super Saterdag"Op Saterdag, Februarie 3. Die stryd teen Androscoggin Bank Colisee sal die nommer een aanspraakmaker in die 125-pond-afdeling te bepaal, en verdien die wenner 'n titel geskiet teen kampioen Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Dit sal byna 'n jaar sedert Burgess, 'n drie-time Maine hoërskool stoei kampioen en verlede NEF titelhouer, stap in die hok. Hy noem NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson en spesifiek versoek die Boucher stryd.

 

 

 

Hoekom? Aan die een kant, dit was 'n sakebesluit na Boucher se noue, split-besluit verlies aan Witham in 'n November titel bout.

 

 

 

"Ek het uit vir 'n jaar. Ek het gehoop om gou terug te spring in 'n titelgeveg,"Burgess verduidelik. "Na stryd Nate se met Witham, Ek het geweet dat hy die onmiddellike rematch wil. Sodra dit duidelik geword dat nie gaan gebeur tot April, Ek het gevra of ons hierdie stryd in Februarie kan doen, en Nate het dit. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) daarna van stapel gestuur een of twee sosiale media granate wat verskyn om 'n sekere vlak van vyandigheid dui die rigting van sy mede-Falcon. Dit is waarskynlik minder persoonlike as taktiese; Burgess voel 'n geleentheid om te ontgin wat hy sien as een van die skrewe in wapens Boucher se.

 

 

 

"Nate, vandat hy 'n kind was, 'n piss-arm houding wanneer hy verloor. Ek hoop om hom te verneder 'n bietjie en maak seker dat hy nie hoef te bekommer oor die stryd om in die hande van die beoordelaars,"Burgess sê. "Nate waarskynlik 'n twee kon gewees het- of-drie-time staat kampioen as hy homself die geleentheid om dit te doen het gegee. As hy nog dieselfde houding het hy destyds, dit gaan op dieselfde manier te beëindig. "

 

 

 

Burgess is een van net vier drie-time staat kampioene in MVHS geskiedenis. Toevallig, broer Boucher se, Ethan, ook tot stand gebring die prestasie.

 

 

 

Boucher, wat reeds geneem uit vier-time Maine hoërskool mat kampioen, en twee-time New England finalis, Jeremia Barkac van Dexter tydens sy tyd in die NEF seshoek, lyk en klink soos 'n ander karakter as die een wat weg van die mat gesukkel as 'n tiener.

 

 

 

Na die wen van sy eerste twee gevegte met gemak, Boucher (2-1) was nie die enigste een in die gebou wat gevoel het hy genoeg gedoen het om die gordel in Portland verdien.

 

 

 

"Ek het gedink ek beheer die eerste twee rondes van die stryd. al drie, regtig. Die eerste twee het ek pretty much het (Witham) verstik uit,"Boucher het gesê. "Dit was uiteindelik 'n leerervaring vir my dat jy die stryd nie kan verlaat om die beoordelaars. Die groot ding oor die amateur geledere is, terwyl ek natuurlik omgee my rekord, aan die einde van die dag is dit deel van die leerproses vir jou 'n beter professionele maak. "

 

 

 

In reaksie op Burgess’ sarsies op Facebook, Boucher bevraagteken gedrag die voormalige kampioen se nadat hy die NEF band twee gevegte in sy loopbaan.

 

 

 

"Ek is nie veel vir die asblik praat. Ek geniet net die sport. Ek hou van om te veg en dan net huis toe gaan. Hy doen dit 'n bietjie aan sy ego Ek dink te bou,"Boucher het gesê. "Hy laat val die gordel, want hy was sukkel om gewig, wat is redelik respek, in my opinie. Hy was vir 'n rukkie, so nou is ek voor hom, en hy weet dat hy het om te gaan deur my. "

 

 

 

Burgess het gesê hy gebruik wat layoff om sy kollege-onderwys te voltooi en te ontwikkel sy geloofsbriewe as 'n fisiese terapeut assistent, wat aandui dat die mediese professie is meer geneig om sy langtermyn-loopbaan as MMA wees.

 

 

 

Terwyl hy voortgegaan om sy opleiding skedule by Rumford Gemeenskapsentrum met Waansinniges Plaasmoorde, Burgess het gesê dit is minder intens en voor gestruktureer om sy verliese teen Witham en Dustin Veinott. Burgess voorheen verslaan beide teenstanders.

 

 

 

"Fisies Ek nog moes hulle geslaan, maar geestelik was ek nie so gereed soos ek moes gewees het. Nou is ek baie meer gefokus,"Burgess sê. "By die tyd was ek klaar skool, werk deeltyds 20 te 30 uur per week en gaan skool toe vir seker 'n ander 40. Ek het twee gevegte waar ek was onder gewig. Ek is besig om gewig terwyl die ander ouens gewig is sny. Ek sal daar gaan op die grens en hulle sou aan te trek 10 te 15 pond tussen die inweeg en die stryd. "

 

 

 

Boucher weliswaar nooit sy potensiaal as 'n hoërskool stoeier bereik. Hy het 'n ander pad as Burgess gevolg, skryf by Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - waar hy nog treine vandag - op die ouderdom van 13.

 

 

 

"Ek het 'n paar van die moeilikste en beste opleiding vennote in die staat,"Boucher het gesê. "My jiu-jitsu het 'n lang pad gekom, byna op die punt waar dit geslaag het my stoei 'n bietjie. Natuurlik, stoei is wat ek altyd terug gaan na wanneer ek dit nodig het. My opvallend is nag-en-dag. Dit was verskriklik vir my eerste stryd. "

 

 

 

Hy het bygevoeg dat sy grootste sukses in MMA ten koste van die voormalige stoeiers het aangebreek.

 

 

 

Burgess is toe op Boucher om die res van sy repertoire onderskat. As iemand wat opgetel stoei op die middel van die skool junior varsity span in graad sewe, Hy het gesê dat sy geskiedenis as 'n vinnige studie oor na ryk van jiu-jitsu en boks het gedra.

 

 

 

"Ek dink hy gaan verbaas wees. Hy dink hy weet wat ek na die tafel bring,"Burgess sê. "Al wat hy weet oor my is my stoei, maar ek het 'n baie meer as wat tot op terug te val. Ek weet reeds wat hy bring na die tafel. En hy is nie van plan om te leer in twee maande wat ek geleer het in twee jaar."

 

 

 

Die opening klok op Februarie 3 is vir 7 namiddag. Kaartjies is beskikbaar by www.TheColisee.com.

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

WILL MAKE COLOR COMMENTARY DEBUT AT BELLATOR 192 OP JAN. 20 – LIVE ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK

OOK, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

LOS ANGELES – Bellator is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with John McCarthy to serve as color commentator during broadcasts on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network, which kicks off with Bellator 192 op Saterdag, Januarie 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Jan. 20 debut on the Paramount Network,insluitend bykomende wedstryde sal in die komende dae aangekondig word. “With John and Chael providing analysis, you’re getting two people who have spent more time in the cage than they have spent with a headset on, and that will translate to a positive viewing experience for Bellator fans.”

 

Over the past 20 jaar, “Big” John McCarthy has set the bar when it comes to officiating in MMA, a sport where he has overseen countless fights promoted by Bellator and other promotions all over the world, serving as the referee for some of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport. A former Los Angeles Police Officer, and a Self-Defense Instructor at the Los Angeles Police Academy, McCarthy is also the founder of “C.O.M.M.A.N.D.,” a program that trains and certifies hopeful MMA referees and judges. McCarthy’s regulatory work is equally as impressive, as he was a key figure in the writing of the sport’s Unified Rules, which are recognized by the ABC and athletic commissions all across North America.

 

Along with his broadcasting duties, the man behind the catchphrase “Let’s get it on!” will also provide a unique level of first-hand insight to the plethora of original content produced by Bellator’s digital team.

 

“I first want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity I have been given to work with the incredible team Bellator has assembled. It is always so hard to leave something you love, but I have always wanted to step away based on my terms rather than someone else’s. My goals are to work as hard as I can to meet the expectations everyone will have for me and to hopefully someday exceed them.” McCarthy said. “I cannot think of anyone I would rather be working with than Scott Coker. Scott has always been a person I admire because of his honesty, loyalty and love for the martial arts. I want to thank everyone from Bellator and Viacom for the trust you are bestowing upon me to keep the commentating of Bellator MMA at the highest levels of the sport.”

 

Daarbenewens, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg en Mauro Ranallo.

 

Chael Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC and WEC, a run that saw him defeat former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (twee keer), Rashad Evans, “Shogun” Rua, Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, having done broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz by Bellator 170 in January and then went on to defeat Wanderlei Silva during the main event of Bellator: NYC.

 

Bellator and the soon-to-launch Paramount Network open 2018 with a bang when Bellator 192: Lima vs. MacDonald emanates from The Forum in California on Jan. 20. Anchored by a welterweight world title fight featuring Douglas Lima defending his championship against Rory MacDonald, the blockbuster event also will see the aforementioned Chael Sonnen compete against “Rampage” Jackson in the opening contest of 2018’s Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix.

Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 4, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) keer terug na LEWISTON opSaterdag, Februarie 3, 2018 met die stryd bevordering se volgende gemengde martial-kuns gebeurtenis, “NEF 32: Super Saterdag.” Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card.

After making his professional debut in the spring of 2016, Aaron Lacey rose quickly through the ranks of the NEF featherweight division. With wins over veterans like Derek Shorey (4-9) and Taylor Trahan (8-9), the year belonged to Lacey. 2017, egter, was filled with frustration. Lacey lost two scheduled opponents to injuries and had to pull out of one fight with an injury of his own. Late in the year, he took a fight in New Hampshire against Vovka Clay (8-2). Many felt Lacey was winning a close fight, but a deep cut on his head forced the doctor to stop the fight in the second round and the bout was awarded to Clay. It was the first loss of Lacey’s professional career. The product of Young’s MMA is looking to rebound from that loss and get back on track towards the major leagues of the sport beginning withNEF 32.

“I’m excited to be returning to the NEF cage,” uitgeroep Lacey. “Last year was not my year, but it’s over and I’m looking to start 2018 off with a bang! This fight is going to be fun and I love that I get to come home and perform in front of the NEF fans! The best ones around! I’m coming in prepared and looking for the finish!"

He will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in his career since 2011 when he steps into the cage against Lacey. Parker is the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine.

“I want to thank NEF for the opportunity, and thank Aaron for taking the fight,” het Parker gesê. “Ek is opgewonde vir die stryd. I missed out on the last show, so I’m itching to get back in there . Aaron has had an awesome career so far, and I’m looking forward to the challenges he presents, but I think I match-up well against him. Don’t miss this oneit’s gonna be one to remember.
