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

Lewiston, Maine (Xaneiro 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, vostede sabe?” 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, que transforma 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 Sábado, Febreiro 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Sábado."

 

 

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

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. El é un guerreiro. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Teño moito respecto por el. 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” premio. 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.

 

 

"Si, 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. Desafortunadamente, 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,” el dixo.

 

 

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 ou 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, que transforma 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.”

As tensións ao rubro como o ex Falcons Teammates Prepare-se a MMA gaiola Batalla

Lewiston, Maine (Xaneiro 10, 2018) – Crecer na mesma comunidade de colo azul e avanzando a través da mesma, programa de deportes contado non necesariamente sexa dous homes mellores amigos.

 

 

 

Antigos compañeiros de equipo Montaña Valley High School, e futuro New England Loitas mixtos adversarios artes marciais, Ryan Burgess e Nate Boucher son a proba da vella máxima, “familiaridade xera desprezo.”

 

 

 

Cidadán, 24, e Boucher, 21, loitará nun ataque flyweight afeccionado en "NEF 32: Super Sábado"Sobre Sábado, Febreiro 3. A loita polo Androscoggin Banco Colisee ha determinar o candidato número un na división de 125 libras, e gañar o gañador dunha disputa de título contra o campión Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Foi case un ano desde Burgess, un tres veces campión Maine ensino medio wrestling e titular NEF pasado, entrou na gaiola. Chamou co-propietario e matchmaker NEF Matt Peterson e especificamente solicitado a loita Boucher.

 

 

 

Por? Por unha banda, foi unha decisión de negocio tras o peche de Boucher, perda decisión dividida para Witham nun ataque de título en novembro.

 

 

 

"Eu estiven fóra por un ano. Eu estaba esperando para saltar de volta a unha loita polo título,"Burgess explicou. "Tras a loita de Nate con Witham, Eu sabía que ía querer o desquite inmediata. Xa que se fixo evidente que non ía acontecer ata abril, Eu preguntei se poderiamos facer esa loita en febreiro, e Nate colleu. "

 

 

 

Cidadán (2-2) posteriormente lanzou unha ou dúas granadas de comunicación social que parecían indicar algún nivel de animosidade contra o seu compañeiro Falcon. É probable menos persoal do que táctico; Burgess sentiu unha oportunidade de explorar o que el ve como unha das fendas na armadura de Boucher.

 

 

 

"Nate, dende que era neno, ten unha actitude mijo-pobre cando perde. Espero humillalo lo un pouco e que seguro que non se preocupe con esta loita quedando en mans dos xuíces,"Burgess dixo. "Nate probablemente podería ser un dous- ou tres veces campión do estado se el mesmo deu a oportunidade de facelo. Se aínda ten a mesma actitude que tivo naquela época, vai acabar da mesma maneira. "

 

 

 

Burgess é un dos únicos catro campións estatais de tres vez na historia MVHS. Coincidentemente, O irmán de Boucher, Ethan, Tamén realizou o feito.

 

 

 

Boucher, que xa tirado catro veces campión mat Maine ensino medio, e dúas veces New England finalista, Xeremías Barkac de Dexter durante o seu tempo no hexágono NEF, parece e soa como un personaxe diferente do que o que loitou lonxe da alfombra como un adolescente.

 

 

 

Tras gañar as súas dúas primeiras loitas con facilidade, Boucher (2-1) Non era o único no edificio que sentiu que fixera o suficiente para gañar o cinto en Portland.

 

 

 

"Eu penso que eu controlaba os dous primeiros rounds da loita. os tres, realmente. Os dous primeiros eu practicamente tiven (Witham) sufocou,"Boucher dixo. "Acabou sendo unha experiencia de aprendizaxe para min que non pode deixar a loita para os xuíces. A gran cousa sobre as fileiras de afeccionados e, mentres está claro que eu me importa o meu record, ao final do día é parte do proceso de aprendizaxe para facelo un profesional mellor. "

 

 

 

En resposta a Burgess’ volleys en Facebook, Boucher cuestionou o comportamento do ex-campión tras vencer a correa NEF dúas loitas na súa carreira.

 

 

 

"Eu non son moito para a conversa do lixo. Só gozar do deporte. Eu gusto de loitar e, a continuación, ir a casa. El fai iso un pouco para construír o seu ego creo,"Boucher dixo. "El deixou caer o cinto porque estaba a ter problemas para facer peso, o que é moi irrespetuoso, Na miña opinión. Estaba fóra por un tempo, Entón agora eu estou á fronte del, e el sabe que ten que pasar por min ".

 

 

 

Burgess dixo usou esa dispensa para completar a súa educación universitaria e desenvolver as súas credenciais como un asistente de fisioterapeuta, indicando que a profesión médica é máis probable que sexa a súa carreira a longo prazo do que o MMA.

 

 

 

Mentres el continuou a súa programación de formación en Rumford Centro Comunitario con Berserkers MMA, Burgess dixo que era menos intensa e estruturada antes das súas perdas contra Witham e Dustin Veinott. Burgess derrotado anteriormente ambos os rivais.

 

 

 

"Fisicamente eu debería vencer, pero mentalmente non estaba tan preparada como eu debería ser. Agora estou máis centrado,"Burgess dixo. "Na época, eu estaba rematando a escola, Traballo a tempo parcial 20 para 30 horas por semana e ir á escola para, probablemente, outra 40. Perdín dúas loitas onde estaba baixo o peso. Eu estaba gañando peso, mentres que os outros caras estaban cortando peso. Eu ía alí no límite e que ía poñer en 10 para 15 libras entre a pesaxe e loita ".

 

 

 

Boucher reconhecidamente nunca alcanzou o seu potencial como un loitador do ensino medio. El seguiu un camiño distinto do que Burgess, matricularse no Centro Maine Galician Jiu-Jitsu - onde aínda adestra hoxe - na idade 13.

 

 

 

"Eu teño algúns dos socios máis difíciles e mellores formación no Estado,"Boucher dixo. "O meu jiu-jitsu percorrer un longo camiño, case ao punto no que xa pasou o meu wrestling algo. Claro, wrestling é o que eu sempre volver cando precisa del. Meu impresionante é noite e día. Foi terrible para a miña primeira loita ".

 

 

 

Engadiu que o seu maior éxito no MMA veu a costa de ex loitadores.

 

 

 

Burgess está contando con Boucher subestimar o resto do seu repertorio. Como alguén que colleu loitando na escola media equipo da escola Júnior na sétima serie, El dixo que a súa historia como un estudo rápido ten transitado en reino do jiu-jitsu e boxeo.

 

 

 

"Eu creo que vai ser sorprendido. El pensa que sabe o que eu traio á mesa,"Burgess dixo. "Todo o que sabe sobre min é a miña loita libre, pero eu teño unha morea máis que iso para volver a caer. Eu xa sei que el trae para a mesa. E non vai aprender en dous meses o que eu aprendín en dous anos."

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

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

TAMÉN, 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 en Sábado, Xaneiro 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Xan. 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.”

 

Over the past 20 anos, “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.”

 

Alén, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg e 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 (dúas veces), 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 Perico Ortiz en 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 Xan. 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.

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, con todo, 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,” exclamou 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!"
