WWE SIGNEE TO CHALLENGE GULLIVER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE IN PORTLAND

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agosto 22, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua estreia em Portland em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta pelo título amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Nick Gulliver (4-0) will defend the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title against Terrance Jean-Jacques (1-0).

NEF is an amazing organization and I love fighting for them,” said Gulliver. “This will be my fifth fight for NEF and to me, this fight is different. During my fighting career I’ve always been fighting for someone, or something, and I’ve never really had time or the energy to really enjoy it. This fight I’m fighting to prove to myself that I’m good enough to be the heavyweight champion. People tell me every day after sparring or training that I’m good, but I don’t see it yet. I don’t see what others see and this is a time for me to see and believe. This camp I’m going to work and find myself in the process.

Gulliver, a product of First Class MMA and the Foundry BJJ, has been nothing short of perfect over the course of his amateur career with NEF. “O guardião,” as he is known amongst his fans and teammates, has finished all four of his previous opponents, including a third-round technical knockout of Yorgan DeCastro (2-4) last fall to claim the title belt. DeCastro is the first, and only, opponent to date to make it out of the first round with Gulliver.

I have a lot to prove to myself and I’m going to look into the mirror on 3 de novembro and see the man I’ve wanted to be in the cage and out,” continued Gulliver. “I’m going to work as much as I can and never give up. Something I always repeat to myself is ‘cowards never start, the weak never finish, winners never quit,’ and I’m not quitting on November 3rd.

Terrance Jean-Jacques brings a solid amateur wrestling background with him to the NEF cage. The Haverhill, Massachusetts native put together an impressive 22-6 record as the starting heavyweight for the NCAA Division I Iowa Hawkeyes as a freshman. He later transferred to Rhode Island College and was a runner-up at the 2015 Division III wrestling championships. Jean-Jacques signed a developmental deal with the WWE in the spring of 2016 to train at their performance center in Florida.

Everybody fights for different things,” remarked Jean-Jacques. “Minha coisa é, I’m not doing this for anyone else but my daughter and myself. It’s much bigger than this fight. I’m reinventing myself and it’s kill or be killed. This will be the best version of myself to date. I have goals that I’m charging at in an unstoppable manner and I’m coming to get it. This is my destiny.

I want to thank my training partners and my family,” said Gulliver in closing. “I want to thank FirstClass MMA and The Foundry BJJ for everything they have given me. I’ve been training with FirstClass MMA and John Raio for almost three years now and I’ve been training with The Foundry BJJ going on eight years now. I appreciate all they do for me. I can name over 100 people that I train with every week that help push me, day in and day out, and I can’t thank them enough for it.

“Esta luta será uma guerra. If you put me and my opponent, Terrance, side by side and took bets, I’d be the loser all day. Shit, even I would bet against me if it was about size and looks. But this fight will be won by one thing and one thing only and anyone that knows me knows what I’m about to say. This fight will be won with heart. I’m not great at anything I do. I fail at most things, but I have a lot of heart and I push. Sometimes in life heart is what people need most. I’m looking to see what I’ve got on 3 de novembro and I’m looking forward to November 4th when I can wake up and see that I had enough heart and that I am the still the champ. Thank you to everyone involved in my life and thanks again for this fight I greatly appreciate it. Thank you to Terrance Jean-Jacques for coming to Portland to fight. Também, just a quick thank you to my friend Josh Jones, who made me remember the fun in this game again. He got me motivated to fight in this one. I’m hoping this fight is just like watching fireworks at a baseball game. If you’ve never seen fireworks at a baseball game come to this fight and I’ll show you the feeling.

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a empresa fazer sua tão esperada estreia em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.auramaine.com.

NEF FLYWEIGHT TITLE ESTARÁ DISPONÍVEL PARA GRABS EM PORTLAND

Portland, Maine (Agosto 21, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua estreia em Portland em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta pelo título amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Nate Boucher (2-0) vai enfrentar Justin Witham (3-4) com o vencedor a ser coroado o novo NEF MMA Amador Flyweight Champion. O título de 125 libras atualmente está vago.

Nate Boucher traz um passado de luta livre com ele para a jaula. Ele competiu pela Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) em Rumford, Maine antes do treino de MMA. Boucher fez sua estreia no NEF em 2014, poucos meses após seu décimo oitavo aniversário – o limite de idade legal para competir no MMA no Maine. No início deste mês em Bangor, Boucher fez seu retorno para a jaula do NEF. Ele foi vitorioso por finalização no primeiro assalto sobre Jeremiah Barkac (0-1). Boucher é atualmente membro do Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ).

“É uma sensação incrível saber que meu sonho de infância está se tornando realidade,” disse Boucher quando contactado para comentar. “Essa luta era só questão de tempo. Todos os meus anos de treinamento são para este momento.”

Justin Witham teve um início lento em sua carreira amadora. Ele perdeu seus três primeiros consecutivos antes de sua primeira vitória sobre Brent Ouellette (0-1) por nocaute técnico no primeiro round. Witham está atualmente numa seqüência de vitórias em duas lutas. No início deste ano, ele finalizou o campeão peso mosca Ryan Burgess (2-2) em uma luta sem título, vingando uma derrota anterior para Burgess. Witham representa o Clube de Combate Inquebrável.

“Muito respeito ao meu oponente e a qualquer um que pise dentro da jaula,” disse Witham. “Todo lutador tem uma luta que o faz ou o destrói. Eu não vou quebrar. Este é o culminar de três anos de trabalho árduo. Sangue, suor e lágrimas – tempo longe dos meus entes queridos. Capturar o título de 125 libras significa tudo para mim e não irei embora sem ele por cima do ombro!”

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a empresa fazer sua tão esperada estreia em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.auramaine.com.

One-on-One with M-1 Global president Vadim Finkelchtein


SÃO PETERSBURGO, Rússia (Agosto 16, 2017) – Presidente M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein recently sat down with mixfight.ru to discuss the recent M-1 Desafio 82 in Finland, M-1 Desafio 83 in next month in Kazan, Rússia, and what fight he considers to be the most anticipated this autumn.

M-1 Desafio 82 tournament has just ended in Helsinki. Tell us your impressions and did everything go as planned beforehand?

VF: “Sim, the tournament fully met our expectations. We initially set it very high, promotingM-1 Desafio 82 at the largest venue in Finland, Hartwall Arena. In the history of Finland’s MMA tournaments, prior to our show, MMA shows had never been held in large arenas. There were halls for 1,500 para 2,000 telespectadores, at most, and that’s why M-1 Global had such as a large responsibility. I am very glad that we managed to fill the arena by 70-80 por cento, setting record attendance for MMA tournaments in Finland. Our matchmakers did a great job. They managed to gather some of the best Finnish fighters for this tournament and found some worthy opponents for them as well. This attracted a lot of attention to the tournament, claro, for Finnish MMA fans.

Do you plan to come back to Finland and hold tournaments on a regular basis there?

VF: “Undoubtedly! We have such intentions. We have seen good interest in our tournaments, not only on the part of the audience, but television and the media as well. This year we have signed a contract with one of the leading TV channels of FinlandRUUTUto broadcast all M-1 Challenge tournaments. I think we will definitely return next year to Finland.

When is the next M-1 Challenge tournament and where?

VF: “The next tournament will be held in Kazan (Rússia) em September 23rd. This will be the first M-1 tournament in this city and we’re thoroughly prepared for it. The main event forM-1 Desafio 83 is a fight between Brandon Halsey and Mikhail Ragozin, one of the most promising Russian heavyweights. Mikhail is a pupil of Alexander Shlemenko, who is also a New Stream team fighter.

Fans are now excited about the tournament in St. Petersburg, claro, especially the title super-bout between two bright punchers, Alexei Kunchenko and Sergei Romanov. What do you expect from this fight?
VF: “I’m sure this fight will be the pinnacle of the entire season in Russian MMA. This will be a duel between the two strongest fighters in this weight category in Russia, but it’s also a fight between two bright and prominent shock-punchers. Kunchenko has never been defeated. He is more experienced of the two, he has already won the belt and has defended it a few times. And Romanov is very hungry, winning fighter, who improves progressively as a professional from fight to fight. E, claro, there will be crowded fan sectors on his side in St. Petersburg. Already, as of today, 2 ½ months before the tournament, Sergey’s fans have bought more than 1000 bilhetes! I myself am looking forward to this fight!”

NEF VENDE-SE NOVAMENTE NO BANGOR QUANDO OS LUTADORES LOCAIS BRILHAM NA GAIOLA

Bangor, Maine (Agosto 6, 2017) –Não havia lugar como o lar Sábado noite para C.J. Jarro, Ryan Sanders e Fred Lear do MMA de Young em Bangor.

Lutando em frente a um salão de baile lotado a poucos passos de seu quartel de treinamento, os três lutadores no topo do card em “NEF 30” Rumble in Bangor ”, todos registraram vitórias impressionantes no Cross Insurance Center.

Ewer derrotou Mike “The Mustache” Hansen por finalização em 1:46 da primeira rodada para capturar o título vago NEF pro dos médios. Lear conquistou o cinturão de peso galo amador do NEF, enquanto Sanders apertou seu controle sobre a cena profissional leve da Nova Inglaterra em um triunfo sem título.

Foi a segunda lotação esgotada de agosto consecutiva em Queen City, uma tradição que começou com “NEF Presents Dana White: Olhar dentro’ For a Fight ”no verão passado.

Depois de sua difícil vitória sobre o viajado Jay Ellis, Sanders campeão dos leves profissionais do NEF, Não classificados. 1 na região, manteve seus comentários curtos e amáveis ​​enquanto chamava o supracitado Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) presidente.

“Você pegou o cara errado ano passado,”Sanders disse. "Venha me buscar agora."

Sanders (15-8) não teve um caminho fácil contra Ellis, um veterano de mais de 80 lutas profissionais. Ellis manteve Sanders sob controle durante a maior parte da luta, mas se deixou vulnerável a um estrangulamento em triângulo em 2:34 do primeiro turno.

Ewer despachou Hansen com uma manobra igualmente rápida.

“É uma sensação ótima vencer na frente da torcida,”Ewer disse. “Por mais que trabalhemos (no acampamento de treinamento), Não achei que nada pudesse me impedir. "

O final repentino estragou as esperanças de Hansen de ganhar um título pela primeira vez em seus 13 anos de carreira em artes marciais mistas.

“Este foi de longe o melhor campo de treinamento que já tive. Nós estávamos apenas nos aquecendo,”Hansen disse. “Eu tinha muito mais para dar, e tenho certeza C.J. tinha muito mais para dar. Mas ei, poderíamos fazer de novo. ”

Lear destacou a parte amadora do card com um nocaute oficial no segundo assalto de Walt Shea.

Apenas o sino salvou Shea do ataque de Lear no final do capítulo de abertura. Lear ganhou a vantagem com um chute na cabeça no meio dessa rodada. Depois de quase travar em uma barra de braço que poderia ter encerrado a luta, Lear ensanguentou Shea, até então invicto, com uma série de ataques.

O fim parecia inevitável quando Shea precisava da ajuda de Lear para encontrar seu canto entre as rodadas, e outro ataque interrompido acelerou o final apenas 14 segundos mais tarde.

Um Lear emocionado elogiou seu treinador, Chris Young do MMA de Young, antes de colocar o cinto em volta da cintura do professor.

“Muita gente por aqui sabe o nome dele, mas eles não conhecem o homem,”Lear disse. “Ele é o primeiro cara na academia pela manhã e o último a sair à noite. Ele é a razão de estarmos todos aqui. Ele é a razão de nosso sucesso. Ele é a razão de alguns de nós não estarmos na prisão. "

Nas duas primeiras lutas de Josh Jones’ carreira de MMA amador, Jones despachou seus oponentes por nocaute com um soco em um total de 24 segundos. Carlton Charles levou um tique-taque a menos para derrubar Jones na impressionante conclusão de um emaranhado de ex-atletas universitários famosos.

Charles, um produto do programa de futebol da Universidade do Maine em sua caminhada inicial até a jaula do NEF, virou o jogo em Jones (2-1) em uma sucata de peso médio. Jones novamente foi para a paralisação antecipada com um par de tiros em loop, mas Charles calmamente os abaixou antes de pousar um dos seus e levar a questão para o tapete.

“Eu simplesmente amo a competição,”Charles disse. “Você não leva uma pancada na cara assim no campo de futebol.”

Quando os combatentes se recuperaram, Charles apoiou Jones contra a gaiola e acertou a mandíbula com as duas mãos direitas. Jones se ajoelhou e acertou um golpe de esquerda na cabeça. Isso convenceu o árbitro a intervir e parar a luta, um veredicto que deixou Jones e seu campo de MMA de primeira classe visivelmente confusos.

Era o charles’ segunda vitória unilateral em esportes de combate em uma semana. Anteriormente, ele entregou um nocaute técnico no primeiro round no ringue de boxe amador. Jones sofreu sua primeira derrota desde a transição do basquete, que jogou profissionalmente na Europa depois de estrelar na Universidade Husson de Bangor.

Um olhar para Sexta-feira Pesagem oficial sugeriu que a luta entre Roger Ewer (251 libras) e Dustin Freeman (220) pode ser o típico stand-up, caso de peso pesado. Em vez, transformou-se em uma vitrine de peso e peso que ficava bem na casa do leme de Ewer. Irmão mais velho de C.J., fazendo sua estreia no hexágono NEF em 44 anos de idade, martelou a vantagem ao longo e ganhou um nocaute técnico por meio de ataques sem resposta em 2:31 da segunda estrofe.

Nate Boucher melhorou para 2-0 com uma paralisação na primeira rodada de Jeremiah Barkac, quem estava fazendo sua estréia na gaiola. Barkac ganhou uma vantagem inicial na luta do galo com uma enxurrada de ataques, mas Boucher habilmente ganhou vantagem com as pernas e travou em um estrangulamento triangular.

Ganhar ou perder, Angela Young de Bangor anunciou que sua batalha com Jessica "The Black Widow" Borga seria a luta final de sua carreira. Pagamento (6-3) apagou qualquer esperança de um final de Hollywood com um nocaute técnico decisivo em 2:16 da rodada de abertura. Jovem (2-3), esposa de chris, nunca tinha ido menos do que a distância em qualquer uma de suas vitórias ou derrotas anteriores.

Em uma estreia mútua entre NEF e MMA, Zach Faulkner encantou sua torcida com uma vitória no segundo turno sobre David Hart, com mata-leão. O fim veio em 1:42.

Jesse Hutchinson também teve uma estreia triunfante nas fileiras amadoras. Ele parou Anthony LaPointe em 2:43 do primeiro turno em uma escaramuça de meio-médio.

NEF também anunciou que o próximo evento de artes marciais mistas da promoção, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a empresa fazer sua tão esperada estreia em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos estarão à venda nesta quarta-feira, Agosto 9 em www.auramaine.com.
