LUPO AND HART BOTH LOOKING TO GET IN THE WIN COLUMN AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Ianuarie 3, 2018) - Lupte New England (NEF) revine la Lewiston peSâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the card. Stacy Lupo (0-1) va lua pe David Hart (0-2) la o greutate de 155 luptă-lire sterline.

Stacy Lupo made his NEF cage debut in the summer of 2016, facing fellow forty-something athlete Dr. Steve Bang (1-1). Lupo and Bang went deep into the third round in a grueling, back-and-forth battle before Bang was able to finish the fight by TKO. Prior to stepping in the cage that night, Lupo, a former wrestler at Nokomis Regional High School in Newport, Maine, already had more than three decades worth of martial arts experience. He holds black belts in both Taekwondo and Shotokan karate. Lupo competed in amateur boxing and kickboxing in the 1980s and 1990s. În prezent, he is a member of The Outlet based in Dexter, Maine and also operates Lupo’s Mid Maine Karate.

I’m very unhappy with my first showing in the MMA ring,” said Lupo. “I feel I let down my fans and my students. I’m hoping to redeem myself in this next match. I heard Mr. Hart wants a stand-up fight, and that’s what I’m hoping for too. I’d like to showcase my skills, so I look forward to February 3rd.”

Like his opponent, David Hart is also looking for his first victory in the MMA cage. He made his debut last summer atNEF 30in Bangor in a losing effort against Zach Faulkner (1-0). Hart took Faulkner into the second round before getting submitted. He returned a few weeks later atNEF 31in Portland and lost again via submission against 56-year-old Gary Carr (1-0). Acum, Hart is looking forward to testing his striking skills against another striker in the form of Lupo. Hart represents Kenney’s MMA of Lisbon, Maine.

I look forward to fighting in Lewiston,” said Hart. “Lupo looks like a tough opponent and has good striking. I am up to the challenge and want to get my first win and the first win for Kenney’s MMA. It will be a great fight.

BOYINGTON RETURNING TO NEF CAGE AFTER TWO-YEAR ABSENCE

Lewiston, Maine (Decembrie 29, 2017) - Lupte New England (NEF) revine la Lewiston pe Sâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the card. Bruce “Destul Boy” Boyington (14-11) a semnat la față Taylor Trahan (7-8) la o greutate de 150 de luptă-de lire sterline.

The fight will be the first for Boyington in the NEF cage since February 2016 when he successfully defended the NEF Lightweight Title against Jon Lemke (7-8). It was Boyington’s third defense of the belt since winning it in the late summer of 2014. After the Lemke defense, Boyington relinquished the championship in order to sign with the World Series of Fighting (WSOF).

While he has fought on many of the largest stages in the world over the past two years, including Madison Square Garden in New York City and halfway across the globe in Russia, Boyington is looking forward to his homecoming and the opportunity to once again fight before his many Maine fans.

“Om, I couldn’t possibly be more excited to get inside the NEF cage, where I have molded my career, built my fan base and learned so much about myself over the years,” Said Boyington. “I am so hungry to entertain people that I can guarantee everyone will want to see what’s going down! I live for this, and on February 3rd, there will be some of the best MMA that has ever been on display from the State of Maine, and I’m grateful and humbled by the opportunity. My opponent is a respectable guy that I believe loves to fight and I want that in there. I wish him the very best in preparation, and I thank (NEF owners) Matt (Peterson) and Nick (DiSalvo) once again for providing me a platform.

Boyington currently owns and operates Boyington’s Taekwondo of Bangor, Maine. He also trains with Young’s MMA in the same city.

Taylor Trahan is a familiar face to NEF fans. He has competed twice for the promotion in the past. Trahan submitted Matt Denning (5-7) in the first round of their meeting at “NEF 25.” He returned to Maine just weeks later atNEF 26in a losing effort to Aaron Lacey (4-1). Trahan is coming off a win over Conor Barry (3-2) last month in New Hampshire. He represents Team Link of Hooksett.

“I’m looking forward to returning to NEF,” said Trahan. “They always put on a good show and treat the fighters right. I’m really looking forward to fighting Bruce. He definitely is the most experienced fighter I’ll be going up against so far.”

M-1 Arena grand opening and M-1 Challenge 100 to highlight 21st season for M-1 Global

In January the new M-1 Arena is scheduled to open in Saint Petersburg
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Decembrie 29, 2017) — The grand opening of the state-of-the-art M-1 Arena in Saint Petersburgh, in addition to the celebration of M-1 Challenge 100 later in 2018, will highlight M-1 Global’s 21st sezon.
Plans in 2018 also include more events, expansion into new countries and, as the No. 2 MMA organization in the world, to keep giving its fans world-class competition, entertaining match-ups, innovative developments and even a few surprises.
Președintele M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein discussed a few of these subjects (Vezi dedesubt) prior to the holidays.
Can you tell us about the new M-1 Arena?
VF: “M-1 Arena is an absolutely unique structure seating a maximum of 3000. It is built in the form of the Colosseum, stone and wood, with an incredible dome made of glulam, which gives the place perfect acoustics. Not only can we promote sporting events, but also music concerts. M-1 Arena allows us to have even more events and realize new ideas like, de exemplu, a reality show. M-1 Arena will be multifunctional but martial arts will be the main form of entertainment held there.
M-1 Challenge was more international last year in terms of showcasing more fighters from different countries like USA, Portugalia, Regatul Unit, Canada, Coreea De Sud, China, etc. Do you plan to expand your fighter base even more this year and, if so, what countries are you targeting for fighters?
VF: “Usually, we hire fighters from countries where our events are being broadcasted. If we have new contracts with the countries from where we don’t have representative fighters, or only have a few of them, we are going to increase their number. The same for countries where we’ve held events because fans desire to see the local athletes fighting in the Rage. We give them an opportunity to see that.
With the success of female MMA stars around the world do you plan to add a female division in 2018?
VF: “One day we will probably create a female division in M-1 Global. Chiar acum, deși, we don’t have enough strong female fighters to do it, încă. As soon as we are ready to make this happen, it will be done, but we don’t want to open a new division just to check the box. We want the best fighters to compete at the highest level.
M-1 Global is closing in on your 100th M-1 Challenge event. Do you plan to promote your 100th event in 2018? If so can you provide any additional information about when, unde, special plans, etc.
VF: M-1 Global has already promoted more than 200 Evenimente, inclusiv 85 M-1 Challenges, which was created in 2008. I think that this event will happen either in Saint-Petersburg or in Moscow, but we still have a lot of time left and a dozen other events before it. We are going to take care of it a bit later.
M-1 has developed fighters who’ve moved on to the UFC and other organizations. How do you feel about that trend? Does it frustrate you that you to spend time building a fighter and then have him move on, or do you look at it as a compliment that M-1 Global develops fighters who can compete in the UFC and any other organization?
VF: “We can consider this situation from different perspectives. I’m not happy to let my best fighters go, desigur, dar este ceea ce este, and we are not ready to compete with UFC yet. Sometimes our fighters leave us. From another perspective, we are happy that our fighters who leave keep winning fights and become the top competitors in other promotions. It proves that the level of M-1 Global fighters is equal to the level of UFC fighters. The top athletes who left M-1 Global for UFC are in top positions there and other promotions don’t have such results. Other organization may make their fighters popular but, as soon as they move to UFC, they start losing and get released.
Our company is probably the second MMA promotion in the world and when some fighters move to the strongest league on the planet, they take a step forward, which I like much better than when they move to weaker promotions than M-1 Global just to make more money.
Any plans to do anything different this year than in the past, outside of the grand opening of the M-1 arena and possible 100th event?
VF: “The main difference will be that we are going to have our own home, M-1 Arena, which means we will be able to hold even more events. We’d like to have two events each month, 24 events a year. We opened our own TV channel (M1global.tv) and next year, MMA fans from former Soviet Republics will have an opportunity to watch all the fights. Using our iOS and Android App, viewers from all over the world can watch old and new fights right now, and next year we are going to make it even better. We are also going to create our own studio to produce different content, probably a new reality show with fighters from different countries.
Will you have showcase M-1 Medieval fights this coming year?
VF: “Apparently, we will have some medieval fights in 2018, but the only issue is that we have a lot of fighters under contract, so it is not easy to find a place for M-1 Medieval fights on our cards. We make knight fights in regions where they are popular, like in Ingushetia and Finland in 2017, because fans demonstrated to us that they want to see them. I hope one day we’ll have more resources for them.

EWER WILL TRY TO MAKE CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Decembrie 28, 2017) - Lupte New England (NEF) returns to Lewiston on Saturday, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Saturday.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF announced the addition of a professional championship bout to the card. CJ Ewer (3-0) se va întâlni Kemran Lachinov (5-2) for the vacant NEF MMA Professional Welterweight Title.

 

 

The bout will put Ewer in a unique positionto hold titles simultaneously in two weight divisions. It is a feat that has been attempted but never accomplished in NEF. Ewer is the reigning professional middleweight titleholder of the organization. He captured that title with a victory over Mike Hansen (5-8) last summer atNEF 30in Bangor, Maine. It took Ewer less than two minutes to finish Hansen with an arm triangle choke. The win not only earned Ewer the middleweight title but also a nomination for “2017 Submission of the Year.Should Ewer emerge victorious over Lachinov on February 3, he will stand atop both the welterweight and middleweight divisions. He represents Young’s MMA of Bangor.

 

 

“My opponent is fierce with a granite jaw and an iron will,” a declarat Ewer. “He’s by far the toughest fighter I’ve faced, and there will be a lot of pressure going into this fight given that it’s a title fight. I always rise to the level of competition and promise you’ll see the best, most prepared CJ you’ve ever seen.”

 

 

Kemran Lachinov is a seven-year veteran of the New England MMA scene. He is also a two-fight veteran of the Bellator cage where he remains undefeated. Lachinov is currently riding a three-fight win streak which began in early 2017. He will look to continue that success into 2018 starting with his bout against Ewer. Lachinov represents Team Link of Ludlow, Massachusetts.

 

 

următor eveniment mixt de arte marțiale ale FEN, “NEF 32: Super Saturday,” se va vedea compania face revenirea la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Februarie 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.TheColisee.com.

M-1 Global’s 20th anniversary a smashing success in 2017

Președintele M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Decembrie 27, 2017) — M-1 Global celebrated its 20leaanniversary in style this past year, reestablishing itself as the preeminent mixed-martial-arts organization in Europe and Russia.
M-1 promoted 13 Challenges in 2017, 11 across Russia, as well as one each in China and Finland. Fighters from around the world competed including MMA superstars such as Serghei Kharitonov și Alexander Shlemenko, as well as rising stars Alexey Kunchenko și Artem Frolov.
M-1 Global founder and president Vadim Finkelchtein reviewed the 2017 sezon, answering a series of questions below:
Global, how do you evaluate the 2017 M-1 Challenge season in terms of achievements and accomplishments as a promotional company?
VF: “În primul rând, we increased the number of events. Some were even rated among top 5 monthly sporting events on television, which is really an incredible achievement. We’ve almost finished building our new M-1 Arena and produced our own M-1 Be Strong Protein milkshake.
You promoted events in different countries this past year like Finland. Was M-1 embraced by those fans and, if so, why do you think so?
VF: “We held our first event in Finland and it was really successful. M-1 Challenge 82took place in Hartwall Arena, one of the largest venues in Finland, located in the capital of Helsinki. Many fans came to watch our promotion’s debut in that country and it became one of the biggest MMA events in Finland history. Scandinavia is a very interesting region for us. We have many fighters from Finland and next year we are going to hold another event there.
We also had a big event in Harbin, China, which was a part of cultural program of Economic Forum. Many VIP visitors and thousands of fans gathered to watch the fights and it was a superb event. China is a prospective MMA market and we are going to work further, featuring more fighters from this country, and promote one or two event a year there.
“Anul viitor, we are going to promote even more events in other countries, planning to hold M-1 Challenge shows in Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Kazahstan, Turkey, China, Finlanda, Germany and the USA.
What was the M-1 highlight of the year?
VF: “This past year we had a lot of remarkable events and fights, so it’s very difficult to choose just one highlight. If I had to choose, the rematch between Alexander Shlemenko and Brandon Halsey was the highlight of the year. Thousands of people in Saint Petersburg on June 1st came to see the rematch and that liver-kick Alexander delivered made the crowd go crazy. In the first fight, Brandon won in 35 secunde, so Alexander wanted to revenge fast and it took him just 25 secunde. That was unbelievable and unforgettable!”
Compared to past years in what areas did M-1 improve in 2017?
VF: “Each year we have more high-level fighters and that is the main difference. MMA has been developing around the world and the competition is always getting tougher. Only the best fighters receive an opportunity to sign a contract with M-1 Global. We have an opportunity to choose the best fighters, increasing the level of fights, to make it impossible to predict the winners in advance. În plus, we increased the number of events and TV coverage with some new TV contracts worldwide.
This was your 20th year. When you started 20 years ago did you envision the success M-1 has had in MMA?
VF: “I could not imagine MMA would become so popular. I went through the entire MMA evolution and the past 20 years I’ve been working on the promotion to make it better each year. The path was not easy because many years ago this kind of sport was considered criminal. Many called it fights without rules and I had to work hard to make people think about it as a legitimate sport.
M-1 added the flyweight division this past year. Why and was it successful in the eyes of fans?
VF: “Flyweight fighters can produce incredible performances. It was necessary for us to create this division because we knew that there were lot of good flyweight fighters. They wanted to fight in M-1 and we made it happen. We already have the first champion and a several tough contenders. În 2018, the flyweight division will be very interesting.

Lewiston, Maine (Decembrie 27, 2017) - Lupte New England (NEF) revine la Lewiston peSâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF a anunțat adăugarea unui card de amatori pentru femeile cu greutate galantă pe card. Jayda “Lil Killah” Curte interioară în castele feudale(1-0) este programat pentru a face față Amanda Gallo (0-1) la o greutate de 135 de luptă-de lire sterline.

Jayda Bailey a apărut în acest an când a devenit cea mai tânără atletă care a concurat vreodată într-o luptă MMA sancționată în Maine. La doar opt zile după a 18-a aniversare, vârsta minimă legală pentru un participant MMA în stat, Bailey a pus împreună o performanță dominantă în debutul ei împotriva Danae Dostie (0-1) la “NEF 31.” I-a trebuit puțin peste 90 de secunde pentru a obține o victorie TKO. Atât de impresionant a fost câștigul, încât i-a adus lui Bailey o nominalizare “Rookie of the Year.” Fanii au fost de acord și l-au votat pe Hermon, Adolescent din Maine ca beneficiar al premiului. Bailey este în prezent membru al Young’s MMA din Bangor. Vara asta, la absolvirea liceului, ea intenționează să se mute în Albuquerque, New Mexico, unde ea se va alătura Jackson Wink MMA Academy – acasa, la mai multe vedete de top UFC.

“Eu nu pot să aștept să-și intensifice în cușcă din nou și va afișa abilitățile mele,” Bailey said. “Mă uit pentru a obține mai bine de fiecare dată când mă lupt, și eu sunt încântat să se confruntă cu o nouă provocare.”

Această nouă provocare va veni sub forma lui Amanda Gallo. Gallo se antrenează cu Robson Moura Nations United (RMNU) cu sediul în Tampa, Florida. A debutat în cușcă în toamna anului 2016 împotriva Laine Orabona (2-2) pe o carte de luptă în Georgia. Concursul palpitant a trecut de la distanță și l-a văzut pe Gallo pierzând o decizie divizată foarte strânsă asupra judecătorilor’ scorecard. Va veni în Maine în căutarea primului câștig al tinerei sale cariere.

următor eveniment mixt de arte marțiale ale FEN, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă,” se va vedea compania face revenirea la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. Evenimentul este programat să aibă loc pe Sâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018. Biletele sunt la vânzare acum online lawww.TheColisee.com.
