LACEY SE ENFRENTARÁ A BELLATOR VETERAN EN NEF 28

 

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 7, 2017) – Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) presenta su próximo evento de artes marciales mixtas “NEF 28: INVENCIBLE” en sábado, Abril 29, 2017 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine. El día de hoy, la promoción de peleas anunció la adición de una pelea profesional de peso pluma a la cartelera. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (4-0) ha firmado a cara Walter “Todo el dia” Smith-Cotito (4-5) con un peso de pelea de 145 libras-.

Aaron Lacey, invicto como profesional, ha ganado siete seguidos volviendo a su carrera amateur. Estaba preparado para competir en “NEF 27” mes pasado, pero la Madre Naturaleza tenía otros planes cuando una tormenta de nieve impidió que su oponente hiciera el viaje a Lewiston desde Florida. El contratiempo ha hecho que Lacey tenga aún más hambre de volver a la acción, pero el destacado de Young en MMA sabe que tiene su prueba más difícil hasta la fecha frente a él en la forma de Cotito..

“Esta va a ser una pelea increíble.,” dijo lacey. “Walter es un oponente habilidoso y peligroso., y él es, de manera realista, una de las personas más peligrosas con las que he luchado hasta la fecha.. Eso está bien conmigo – cuanto más duro es el oponente, cuanto más duro trabajo. Después de lo que pasó en febrero, Me muero por volver a entrar.”

La pelea por Cotito representará una especie de partido de goma con los oponentes de Young. en la primavera de 2013, Cotito se llevó a Ray Wood (8-3) profundo en la tercera ronda antes de Wood, entonces el destacado prospecto de peso pluma de Young, fue capaz de terminar la pelea. Cotito ganaría una medida de venganza contra el gimnasio Bangor cuando sometió a Bruce Boyington (14-10) en “NEF X” mas adelante en ese año. Entre un par de apariciones recientes para la promoción de lucha global Bellator, Cotito anotó una sumisión de segunda ronda de Elias Leland (3-2) en “NEF 25” septiembre pasado.

“Estoy súper emocionado de pelear contra este chico del que todos están hablando.,” exclamó Cotito. “Tiene mucho potencial, siguen diciendo – bueno, esto solo lo hace más emocionante para mí! Nadie ha visto al verdadero Walter Cotito en la jaula todavía. No te pierdas esta pelea porque 'All-Day’ viene por ti!”

Citas: “I have dreamt about this moment forever. Cuando yo era 21 and first started kickboxing, I dreamt about being a champion and I didn’t make it, I lost.Budd said. “Así, this is my dream come true. The moment I signed with Bellator, I saw all the champions up there on the banners and I said to myself that i want to be up there with them some day. Now it feels like everything has come together.

Theres only one message that I want to give out to all the fighters out there and that’s please listen to your body. I’m very proud of all the women in MMA and I’m very grateful for Bellator,” Coenen said. This company picked me up when I was in a dark place and Scott Coker has given me so many opportunities throughout my career. Bellator MMA will always be my home.

Fernando González (26-14) derrotado Brandon Girtz (14-6) por decisión unánime (29-28, 29-27, 30-26)

 

Citar: “Everything I thought was going to happen esta noche, sucedió. Every time he was going to go for a take down, I wanted to make him pay for it.González dijo. I had to keep him busy and make him scramble. My plan was to box with him and then keep him away with the leg kicks. I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round. My next fight, Quiero Andrey Koreshkov. He is one of the best and Bellator’s former champion. I think I will win that fight, which will put me right in line with Douglas Lima siguiente.”

Justin Wren (13-2) derrotado Roman Pizzolato (8-9) a través de la sumisión (triángulo de brazo) en 2:35 de la primera ronda

 

Citar: “I’m so grateful for Bellator and Spike to be able to come out here, do what I love and perform. Pero, Para mí, it’s about so much more than the competition, it’s all about knocking some dude out, so that we can knock out the water crisis with my team out there in the Congo,” Wren said. They are so incredible. I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.

Rafael Lovato Jr.. (5-0) derrotado Charles Hackman (4-5) por TKO en 0:13 de la primera ronda

Citar: "Jonathan Gary is a class act, a great guy, and I’m glad that I had the chance to compete against him esta noche. My retirement caught a lot of people by surprise," Pfister said. “I’m going to take time off to focus on other aspirations, but who knows, maybe I’ll be back. Bellator is a class company and I’m honored that my last fight will be with them. Scott Coker and Bellator know how to take care of the fighters and I really like what they’ve done with the company.”

DUBLIN MAIN EVENTERS SOUND OFF AHEAD OF CAGE WARRIORS 81 TITLE CLASH

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA
Miércoles, March 1st, 2017

Ireland’s Karl Moore and America’s Josh Clark will do battle for the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight world title on Saturday night

Guerreros de la jaula 81 will see a new light-heavyweight world champion crowned as Ireland’s Karl Moore takes on American TUF veteran Josh Clark in the main event at the 3Arena.

Moore heads a cast of Irish fighting talent looking to claim victory on home turf this weekend, and says he’s ready to step up and deliver a performance to not only send the Irish fans home happy and capture the light-heavyweight title last held by current UFC middleweight world champion Michael Bisping.

“I’m honoured to be able to fight for such a prestigious belt,” said Irish challenger Moore.

“The last guy who wore this went on to win the UFC belt as well. That’s what I plan to do also.

“I’ve been waiting for this opportunity all my life and no matter who Cage Warriors put in front of me, I’m going to steamroll over them.

“No one is going to take that belt from me in my own country and when I win it I will go on and conquer the world!"

Moore’s opponent Clark also told Cage Warriors he was excited for the opportunity to compete on the Emerald Isle this weekend.

“I can’t wait to fight Saturday night,” he enthused.

“I am willing to go through whatever to get my hand raised!

“I am going to find out how tough Karl Moore really is and I am going to leave with that belt!"

The light-heavyweight title fight tops a packed fight card as Cage Warriors makes its long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend.

JOHN GOODEN, ANTIGUO COMENTARIO DE CAGE WARRIORS, COMPARTE SUS RECUERDOS DE LA NOCHE DE LA LUCHA IRLANDESA ANTES DEL REGRESO DE CAGE WARRIORS A DUBLÍN

PARA PUBLICACION INMEDIATA
Martes, February 28th, 2017

As we look forward to our long-awaited return to Dublin this weekend, the former voice of Cage Warriors remembers the raucous atmosphere of the Irish fight fans and recalls the moment he took a knee from a man who would go on to become the biggest star in the sport – Conor McGregor.

Before he started calling fights for the UFC, British play-by-play man John Gooden was the voice of Cage Warriors.

And nobody knows the passion of the Irish fight fans quite like John who, during the now-famous rise to prominence of Conor McGregor, ended up right in the thick of it with the legendary Irish fight fans during both of ‘The Notorious’ one’s Cage Warriors championship victories.

We chatted to Gooden at CW80 in London where he shared his memories of his Irish fight night experiences ahead of our return to Dublin this weekend for Cage Warriors 81.

I think my first taste was the Helix when Conor won his first world title,” he began.

I got injuredConor kneed me in the face! But I stayed here to live to tell the tale!

He jumped the fence. His fans were going absolutely bonkers, and I think if he didn’t go out, they were coming in. So strategically he did the right thing, although he sort of ran through me to get to them!

But Josh (Palmero, Cage Warriors co-commentator) and I were covered in beer and it was just this melee of craziness. So that was really cool, because I can say I took a knee from Conor McGregorwhich he apologised for, también!

The Helix was an interesting venue. It was on different levels and the last time I was there the Irish were having mixed results. Then Conor came out and, as he does, rouses everyone and came away with the victory in the fashion that he did. That just put the capstone on the night and just made it celebratory.”

After that fight both McGregor and Gooden were UFC bound, where they would reunite in Dublin at the 3Arena for UFC Fight Night: McGregor v Brandao, an event that has gone down in folklore as one of the most raucous in UFC history.

I’ve been over to Dublin twice (with the UFC) but the first time in 2014 – McGregor-Brandaoit’s gonna be difficult to top that,” Gooden smiled.

The fans were SO good. The Irish fighters went 100%. They won, they won, they won and the crowd loved it. They got behind every single one and it was just a big celebration.

Going back there, it was a sensory overload and I’m gonna take that to the grave with me.”

That event has been held up as the standard by which all fight night atmospheres are now judged, but there have been plenty of examples of the Irish fans’ passion since then, whether it’s at home for a host of different events, or on the road supporting their heroes overseas.

And on Saturday night the Irish fight fans have the opportunity to cheer on their boys on home soil once again at Cage Warriors 81. With a host of Irish fighting talent set for action, including Karl Moore bidding to capture the vacant Cage Warriors light-heavyweight title against American Josh Clark, we’re expecting another party atmosphere at the 3Arena.

THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER, NOW IT’S TIME TO FIGHT!

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 1, 2017) – Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) presenta su próximo evento de artes marciales mixtas “NEF 28: INVENCIBLE” en sábado, Abril 29, 2017 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine. El día de hoy, la promoción de peleas anunció la adición de una pelea profesional de peso pluma a la cartelera. Mate “Ken Muñeca” Denning (3-6) se reunirá Josh Parker (5-8) con un peso de pelea de 145 libras-.

The fight will mark the culmination of months of trash talking on social media between Denning and Parker’s camp. Denning, a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Auburn, Maine and a veteran of the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) jaula, will be looking to rebound from a loss to Ricky Dexter (1-0) el mes pasado en “NEF 27.”

After Josh’s win over Derek Shorey, I wanted to fight him,” Denning said. “En papel, both of our last wins were against the same opponent (Shorey). I thought the fight made sense. We both have had a lot of fights against very tough fighters. Desde esa pelea, there has been some Facebook bashing from Parker’s brother, and my response was for Josh to sign the contract. He was insulting me and trash talking, so I wanted to prove them wrong. There is no place in a fight where Parker can beat me and on 29 de abril, I’ll show that to the NEF fans. I’d like to thank (NEF owners) Mella (DiSalvo) and Matt (Peterson) for giving me another opportunity to fight for them. También, I’d like to thank Kill Their Will and all my family at CMBJJ for their ongoing support.

Parker’s victory over Shorey last November marked his return to the MMA cage after a three-year absence. He spent the vast majority of that time competing in the boxing ring, yet it was a submission that Parker used to overcome Shorey. For Parker, the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxeo basado en Benton, Maine, the fight with Denning is not business as usual. The nature of the trash talking has turned personal, and Parker vows vengeance for what he sees as disrespect on Denning’s part.

There comes a time in every fighter’s career that the fight has nothing to do with records or money,” dijo Parker. “It’s to prove a point. My name has come out of this kid’s mouth too many times. En 29 de abril, I’m gonna shut it.

New England Fights regresa al Androscoggin Bank Colisee en Lewiston, Maine con su próximo evento de artes marciales mixtas, “NEF 28: INVENCIBLE,” en sábado, Abril 29, 2017. Las entradas ya están a la venta en la taquilla del Colisee 207-783-2009 x 525 y en línea en www.TheColisee.com.
