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

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Januar 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, du ved?” 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, der vender 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 Lørdag, Februar 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Lørdag."

 

 

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

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Han er en kriger. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Jeg har stor respekt for ham. 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” award. 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.

 

 

"Yeah, 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,”Forklarede han. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Desværre, 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, MMA, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” sagde han.

 

 

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 eller 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, der vender 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 Februar 3 er indstillet til 7 p.m. Billetter kan købes på www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Spændinger bende høj som tidligere Falcons Holdkammerater Forbered MMA Cage Battle

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Januar 10, 2018) – Vokser op i den samme blå-krave samfund og fremme gennem den samme, etages sportsprogram ikke nødvendigvis gør to mænd bedste venner.

 

 

 

Tidligere Mountain Valley High School holdkammerater, og fremtidig New England Fights blandet kampsport modstandere, Ryan Burgess og Nate Boucher er bevis på den gamle maksime, “kendskab racer foragt.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, og Boucher, 21, vil kæmpe i en amatør fluevægt Bout på ”NEF 32: Super Lørdag"På Lørdag, Februar 3. Kampen på Androscoggin Bank Colisee vil afgøre nummer et udfordrer i 125-pund division, og tjene vinderen en titel skudt mod mester Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Det vil have været næsten et år siden Burgess, en tre-tiden Maine gymnasium brydning mester og tidligere NEF titleholder, gik ind i buret. Han kaldte NEF medejer og matchmaker Matt Peterson og specifikt anmodede Boucher kampen.

 

 

 

Hvorfor? På den ene side, det var en forretningsmæssig beslutning efter Boucher tætte, tab split-beslutning om at Witham i en November titel Bout.

 

 

 

”Jeg har været ude i et år. Jeg havde håbet at springe lige tilbage i en titel kamp,”Burgess forklarede. ”Efter Nates kamp med Witham, Jeg vidste, at han ville have den umiddelbare omkamp. Når det blev klart, at der ikke ville ske indtil april, Jeg spurgte, om vi kunne gøre denne kamp i februar, og Nate tog det.”

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) efterfølgende lanceret en eller to sociale medier granater, der syntes at indikere en vis grad af fjendskab mod hans kolleger Falcon. Det er sandsynligt mindre personligt end taktisk; Burgess fornemmede en mulighed for at udnytte, hvad han ser som en af ​​de sprækker i Boucher panser.

 

 

 

”Nate, lige siden han var barn, har en pisse-dårlig holdning, når han taber. Jeg håber at ydmyge ham en lille smule, og sørg for at han ikke behøver at bekymre sig om denne kamp at komme i hænderne på dommerne,”Burgess sagde. ”Nate sandsynligvis kunne have været en to- eller-tre-tiden state mester, hvis han havde givet sig selv mulighed for at gøre det. Hvis han stadig har den samme holdning, han havde dengang, det kommer til at ende på samme måde.”

 

 

 

Burgess er en af ​​kun fire tre-tiden statslige mestre i MVHS historie. Tilfældigvis, Boucher bror, Ethan, også opnås kunststykket.

 

 

 

Boucher, der allerede har tegnet fire-tiden Maine gymnasiet mat mester, og to-tiden New England finalist, Jeremias Barkac af Dexter i løbet af sin tid i NEF sekskant, ser ud og lyder som en anden karakter end den, der kæmpede væk fra måtten som teenager.

 

 

 

Efter at have vundet sine to første kampe med lethed, Boucher (2-1) var ikke den eneste i bygningen, der følte, at han havde gjort nok til at tjene bæltet i Portland.

 

 

 

”Jeg troede, jeg kontrollerede de første to runder af kampen. Alle tre, virkelig. De to første jeg havde temmelig meget (Witham) kvalt ud,”Boucher sagde. ”Det endte med at blive en lærerig oplevelse for mig, at du ikke kan forlade kampen til dommerne. Den store ting om amatør rækker er, mens selvfølgelig jeg holder min rekord, ved slutningen af ​​den dag, det er en del af læreprocessen at gøre dig en bedre professionel.”

 

 

 

Som reaktion på Burgess’ flugtninger på Facebook, Boucher spørgsmålstegn ved tidligere mester adfærd efter at have vundet NEF rem to kampe i sin karriere.

 

 

 

”Jeg er ikke meget for papirkurven snak. Jeg bare nyde sporten. Jeg kan lide at kæmpe og så bare gå hjem. Han gør det lidt til at bygge hans ego jeg tror,”Boucher sagde. ”Han faldt bæltet, fordi han havde problemer med at gøre vægten, som er temmelig respektløst, efter min mening. Han var ude i et stykke tid, så nu er jeg foran sig, og han ved, at han er nødt til at gå igennem mig.”

 

 

 

Burgess sagde, at han brugte at fritstille til at fuldføre sin college uddannelse og udvikle sine akkreditiver som en fysioterapeut assistent, hvilket indikerer, at den medicinske profession er mere tilbøjelige til at være hans langsigtede karriere end MMA.

 

 

 

Mens han fortsatte sin uddannelse tidsplan på Rumford Community Center med Berserkers MMA, Burgess sagde, at det var mindre intens og struktureret forud for sit tab mod Witham og Dustin Veinott. Burgess tidligere besejret både rivaler.

 

 

 

”Fysisk jeg stadig skulle have slået dem, men mentalt var jeg ikke så forberedt som jeg burde have været. Nu er jeg meget mere fokuseret,”Burgess sagde. ”På det tidspunkt var jeg endt skolegang, deltidsarbejde 20 til 30 timer om ugen, og at gå i skole til sandsynligvis en anden 40. Jeg mistede to kampe, hvor jeg var under vægten. Jeg var at få vægt, mens de andre fyre var at skære vægten. Jeg ville gå derind på grænsen, og de ville sætte på 10 til 15 pounds mellem indvejningen og kampen.”

 

 

 

Boucher ganske vist aldrig nået sit potentiale som en high school wrestler. Han har fulgt en anden vej end Burgess, indskrive på Central Maine Brasiliansk Jiu-Jitsu - hvor han stadig træner i dag - i en alder af 13.

 

 

 

”Jeg har nogle af de hårdeste og bedste uddannelse partnere i staten,”Boucher sagde. "Mit jiu-jitsu er kommet en lang vej, næsten det punkt, hvor den har passeret min brydning en lille smule. Selvfølgelig, brydning er, hvad jeg altid gå tilbage til, når jeg har brug for det. Min slående er nat-og-dag. Det var forfærdeligt for min første kamp.”

 

 

 

Han tilføjede, at hans største succes i MMA er kommet på bekostning af tidligere wrestlere.

 

 

 

Burgess regner med Boucher at undervurdere resten af ​​hans repertoire. Som en, der tog brydning på den midterste skole junior varsity team i syvende klasse, Han sagde, at hans historie som en hurtig undersøgelse har overført til realm af jiu-jitsu og boksning.

 

 

 

”Jeg tror, ​​han vil blive overrasket. Han tror, ​​han ved, hvad jeg bringer til bordet,”Burgess sagde. ”Alt hvad han ved om mig, er min brydning, men jeg har en masse mere end det at falde tilbage på. Jeg ved allerede, hvad han bringer til bordet. Og han kommer ikke til at lære i to måneder hvad jeg har lært i to år."

 

 

 

Åbningen klokke på Februar 3 er indstillet til 7 p.m. Billetter kan købes på www.TheColisee.com.

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

Efterlad en kommentar

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

OGSÅ, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

ENGLERNE - 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 på Lørdag, Januar 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,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “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.”

 

I fortiden 20 år, “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.”

 

Desuden, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg og 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 (to gange), 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 på 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.

På “NEF 32,” Lunghi vil se at hævne en tab hans holdkammerat Winston Cortez (0-1) mod Devin Corson (1-0) på “NEF 27” sidste år. Desuden, en sejr over Corson ville sætte Lunghi i stand til at udfordre til NEF MMA Amatør Fjervægt titel på et senere tidspunkt.

”Jeg er utrolig ydmyg og glade for at blive inviteret tilbage til Lewiston til at kæmpe for NEF,” sagde lang. “3 februar står som en stor test for mig og min forberedelse som en martial kunstner samt en mulighed for at kæmpe en stor up-and-coming fighter ligesom Devin. Jeg er ivrig for muligheden for at fremvise de forbedringer, jeg har lavet i mit spil, samt at hævne Winstons tab til Devin.”

Devin Corson fik sin NEF debut i begyndelsen af 2017 at the young age of 19. He sent the crowd into a frenzy that night, repeatedly lifting Winston Cortez up over head and slamming him time and time again on his way to a unanimous decision victory. It was one of the most memorable debuts for any fighter in the NEF cage. Corson is a product of The Outlet Mixed Martial Arts Training Center based in Dexter, Maine.

“Det er en ære at vende tilbage til NEF bur,” erklærede Corson. “Jeg ser frem til at kæmpe en mand, der har sit brune bælte i jiu-jitsu. Jeg er altid op til en udfordring. Jeg er bare glad for at være tilbage.”

NEF næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 32: Super Lørdag,” vil se virksomheden gøre sin tilbagevenden til Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Lørdag, Februar 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online atwww.TheColisee.com.

Lewiston, Maine (Januar 4, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) vender tilbage til Lewiston påLørdag, Februar 3, 2018 med kampen fremme næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 32: Super Lørdag.” Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Relentless” Lacey (4-1) har underskrevet til ansigt Josh Parker (6-9) på en kamp vægt på 145 pounds.

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, dog, 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 with “NEF 32.”

“I’m excited to be returning to the NEF cage,” udbrød 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!"

Josh Parker has been a mainstay of both the NEF MMA cage and boxing ring since his debut with the promotion back at “NEF I” i februar 2012. Since turning his focus back to MMA from boxing in late 2016, Parker has had two solid victories in Lewiston. På “NEF 26” i november 2016, Parker submitted Derek Shorey. Last summer, på “NEF 29,” Parker was again successful, this time taking a unanimous decision victory over Andre Belcarris (0-2). 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,” Said Parker. “Jeg er spændt til kampen. 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 one – it’s gonna be one to remember.”

NEF næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 32: Super Lørdag,” vil se virksomheden gøre sin tilbagevenden til Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Lørdag, Februar 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online atwww.TheColisee.com.
