Taylor Costantino (3-3) Bydd yn cyfarfod Shawn Long (4-0) for the vacant 145-pound championship.

 

 

 

Taylor Costantino is a native of Long Island, New York where he began his MMA career in 2011 after being crowned a USA and Pan American Sambo champion. After moving to Maine, Costantino continued training and made his NEF debut in early 2016 with a 25-second TKO victory over Frank Johanson (2-2). Ar hyn o bryd, he is a member of Evolution Athletix based in Saco.

 

 

 

“I’m very excited to fight in Portland against a tough opponent,” said Costantino. “I’ve never taken an easy opponent, and this fight is no different. I have a lot to prove to my coaches, my teammates and myself – and a man with something to prove is a dangerous man.”

 

 

 

Undefeated Shawn Lunghi has been dominant in two previous NEF cage appearances. The Florida native first traveled north in the fall of 2016, scoring a second round submission of Alex Clark (4-2). Last weekend, Lunghi returned to take on Devin Corson (1-1). It took just over a minute for Lunghi to pull out another submission win on Maine soil. He will have little time to rest after the upcoming battle at “NEF 33.” In late April, Lunghi will leave for Fort Bliss, and from there will travel to Afghanistan in May as part of his service in the Army National Guard.

This will be my last fight for awhile as I will be deploying with the Army National Guard for the next year, but I can’t think of a better send off then to win the 145-pound title and celebrate with my RMNU team in Portland, Maine.”

I'W RYDDHAU AR UNWAITH: Portland, Maine (Chwefror 6, 2018) - Ymladd Lloegr Newydd (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland onEbrill 14, 2018 gyda digwyddiad cymysg ymladd-celfyddydau nesaf hyrwyddo frwydr yn, “NEF 33: Riptide.” Yn gynharach heddiw, NEF announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Carl Langston (0-0) is scheduled to make his professional debut against Ernesto Ornelas (2-7) mewn pwysau ymladd o 135 o bunnoedd-.

 

 

 

 

Carl Langston is one of the longest-active members of the NEF roster, having made his debut with the promotion as an amateur in the fall of 2013. Langston brought an extensive background in Taekwondo with him to the cage, resulting in many exciting striking battles over the years. Langston finished his amateur career with a record of 7-9 and a win over Ornelas’ Choi Institute teammate Henry Clark (3-4) yn “NEF 31″ in Portland last fall. Langston is currently a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

 

 

 

 

“I couldn’t be more pumped to be making my pro debut in the city of Portland where I grew up,” said Langston when reached for comment. “I’ve been waiting four years for this moment, and I’m going to capitalize on it by finishing this guy, beating him just like I beat his teammate.”

 

 

 

 

There are very few MMA competitors with hands as fast as Ernesto Ornelas. Now residing in Portland, Ornelas was a multi-time Golden Gloves champion during his amateur boxing days in his home state of California. He is currently 1-1 fel bocsiwr proffesiynol. Ornelas will return to the cage after more than a year-and-a-half absence from MMA competition.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited to be fighting in Portland, especially under the NEF banner this time,” said Ornelas. “I’ve lived in Portland for about six years and have adopted the city, working and training out of the Portland downtown. I’ve come to know everyone and the city so well, and I’m excited to give Portland a show and show them what’s brewing in downtown at the Portland Choi Institute. As for welcoming Carl into the pro ranks, I know it’s going to an exciting fight. I’ve coached against Carl three times and seen the opportunities he presents stylistically. Hynny'n cael ei ddweud, I’ll be two steps ahead of Carl on this one. It’s going to be some thunder and lightning in Portland that night, but everyone knows lightning strikes first and thunder just makes noise. A Ebrill 14 lightning is going to strike—and I’m the one bringing the lighting.”

A PRO DEBUT AND THE RETURN OF A POPULAR ATHLETE AT NEF 33

I'W RYDDHAU AR UNWAITH: Portland, Maine (Chwefror 5, 2018) - Ymladd Lloegr Newydd (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland on Ebrill 14, 2018 gyda digwyddiad cymysg ymladd-celfyddydau nesaf hyrwyddo frwydr yn, “NEF 33: Riptide.” Yn gynharach heddiw, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. John Ortolani (8-11) Bydd yn cyfarfod Neuadd Caleb (0-0) mewn pwysau ymladd o 155-bunnoedd.

 

 

 

 

John Ortolani, a native New Englander now residing in Florida, is one of the most popular athletes to ever step into the NEF cage. Ortolani has made his mark both in MMA and on the lacrosse field where he has played for several teams in the Major League Lacrosse circuit over the years. Having competed regionally in MMA since 2009, Ortolani made his NEF debut in the fall of 2012 with a submission win over Bruce Boyington (14-11). The upcoming fight with Hall will be Ortolani’s fifth trip to the NEF cage, not counting one further appearance in the NEF boxing ring. He currently trains with Robson Moura Nations United (RMNU) yn Tampa, Florida.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited for the fight with Caleb,” said Ortolani. “He’s had a great amateur career and has a lot of experience. I can’t wait to perform in front of the NEF fans again and welcome Caleb to the pro ranks the hard way!"

 

 

 

 

Caleb Hall has had a prolific amateur MMA career with an impressive record of 8-3. Prior to entering the MMA ranks, he was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. Hall later wrestled for both Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire and the University of Southern Maine (USM). He captured the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title in the spring of 2016 with a submission of Erik Nelson (2-3). He later successfully defended that title against Johnny Crafts (4-1) yn “NEF 25” in the fall of that year. Hall is a member of the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine.

 

 

 

 

“Every fighter’s goal is to get to the UFC,” said Hall. “To get there, you have to beat the toughest guys you can find on the regional circuit. Beating Ortolani, a 20-fight pro veteran, is a step towards my goal of where I want to go in this sport.”

BOYINGTON TRIUMPHANT IN RETURN, ERICKSON SETTLES A SCORE AT NEF 32

Gadael sylw

Lewiston, Maine (Chwefror 4, 2018) – Two years of traveling the world in pursuit of mixed martial arts glory had not even a shred of negative impact on Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington’s mystique in the New England Fights cage.

 

 

 

 

Battered, bloodied Taylor Trahan somehow made it to the end of the second round at Androscoggin Bank Colisee, but a relentless Boyington punctuated a dominant performance with a rear naked choke at 1:08 of the third in the 150-pound main event at “NEF 32: Super Dydd Sadwrn."

 

 

 

 

Boyington (15-11) had fought in such diverse locales as New York City and Moscow since his most recent NEF appearance. He extended his winning streak in the promotion to four fights at the expense of Trahan (7-9).

 

 

 

 

Four other professional bouts and 10 amateur affairs highlighted the busy evening.

 

 

 

C.J. Ewer’s bid to become the first simultaneous NEF champion in two different divisions fell short against Kemran Lachinov.

 

 

 

 

Lachinov (6-2), a Bellator veteran based out of Ludlow, Massachusetts, captured the vacant welterweight crown with a tapout to a kneebar at 3:01 o'r cylch cyntaf.

 

 

 

Ewer was undefeated in three previous pro fights, including a submission victory over Mike Hansen for the middleweight strap six months ago.

 

 

 

 

Hansen also absorbed a choke-out loss on this card. Coming off a week of controversy about their agreed-upon catch weight, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson showed that his apparent size disadvantage was no issue.

 

 

 

 

After dominating the early exchanges, Erickson (10-7) applied a guillotine. With Hansen (5-9) appearing unresponsive, the referee stepped in and stopped the contest at 2:41 y rownd agoriadol.

 

 

 

 

Aaron Lacey rebounded from the first loss of his career, thoroughly dominating veteran Josh Parker in a 145-pound tangle. Lacey (5-1) controlled the lone round of the bout, dropping Parker (6-10) with a knee to the head. He maintained control with a vicious assault to the body, then sent Parker to dreamland via rear naked choke at 4:30.

 

 

 

 

Persistence paid off for independent mainstay Zenon Herrera, who picked up his first professional victory in his seventh try. Both Herrera and opponent Nate Charles have an extensive boxing background, but it was Herrera’s domination on the ground that paved the path to an unanimous decision.

 

 

 

 

In the headline amateur event, Ryan Burgess scored a narrow victory over Nate Boucher in a grueling, ground-and-pound flyweight fracas.

 

 

 

 

The bout between former Mountain Valley High School wrestling teammates was billed as a grudge match, fueled by a war of words on social media. Not surprisingly it ended in a lengthy embrace after the bell, with both men lying spent in the center of the cage.

 

 

 

 

There was little to choose between the Rumford rivals. Burgess (3-2) pushed the attack in rounds two and three and may have gained the final 29-28 edge on two scorecards with a few well-placed knees to the midsection. Boucher (2-2) swept all three rounds in the other judge’s estimation.

 

 

 

 

Gyda'r fuddugoliaeth, Burgess snapped a two-fight losing skid and earned a June title fight against Justin Witham. Burgess initially won the title back in 2015.

 

 

 

 

Kam Arnold (2-0) left an indelible impression on both the crowd and opponent Kyle Kenney in his first-round victory. After patiently finding a seam, Arnold slammed Kenney to the canvas early in the bout and gained the TKO with a barrage of strikes at the two-minute mark.

 

 

 

 

Former amateur light heavyweight champion Ryan Glover (4-2) made a triumphant return in his first appearance since losing the belt exactly one year ago. Glover ended a slugfest with newcomer Joe Berube by verbal submission to strikes in the opening seconds of the third round.

 

 

 

 

Mohammad Al-Kinani ran his amateur record to 3-0 with a first-round TKO of Isaac Therrien. It was Al-Kinani’s stand-up acumen against Therrien’s wrestling background, and Therrien gained the early advantage with three takedowns. He was unable to keep the action on the deck, Fodd bynnag,, and Al-Kinani’s fistic prowess proved too tough to overcome.

 

 

 

 

Likewise, Shawn Lunghi kept his record perfect through three fights with a first-round rear naked choke over previously unbeaten Devin Corson. The convincing, 68-second victory earned Lunghi an April shot at the amateur featherweight title against Taylor Costantino at NEF 33 in Portland.

 

 

 

 

Former University of Maine football standout Carlton Charles delivered the quickest knockout of the evening. Charles rebounded from his initial loss in November with a 12-second stoppage of Delmarkis Edwards, who was making his debut at 175 bunnoedd.

 

 

 

 

Stacy Lupo picked up his first win in the cage over David Hart. Lupo used knees and kicks to gain the advantage before gaining the TKO via strikes at 1:10 of the opening round of the 155-pound scrap.

 

 

 

 

In a wildly entertaining women’s bout to christen the card, B.J. Garceau made a successful amateur debut with a split decision over Sarah Ziehm. All three judges offered a 29-28 verdict, but a strong start and authoritative finish gave Garceau the edge. Garceau dedicated her debut to awareness of diabetes, a disease she battles outside the cage.

 

 

 

 

 

Two other women’s bouts went the distance. Catie Denning won her debut by unanimous decision over Chelsea Elizabeth, while Amanda Gallo made her trip from Florida pay off with a clean sweep of the cards against 2017 NEF rookie of the year Jayda Bailey.

WEIGHT JUST A MINUTE! DISAGREEMENT OVER MMA FIGHT TERMS TURNS INTO FIERY FACEBOOK FIASCO

Gadael sylw

Lewiston, Maine (Ionawr 29, 2018) - Mae hyn Dydd Sadwrn nos, Jesse “Y Llychlynwyr” Erickson (9-7) of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mike “Mae'r mwstas” Hansen (5-8) of Berserkers MMA will square off at a fight weight of 179-pounds. That is a full nine pounds heavier than the original agreed-to weight. The change in contract terms was a result of a request from Hansen who realized he would not be able to cut to 170-pounds just over a week out from the fight. Erickson, upon learning that Hansen could not make weight, immediately took to Facebook with his outrage.

“One week from weigh ins my opponent Michael B. Hansen wants the fight moved up 9 pounds or he’s going to pull from the fight,” wrote Erickson on his Facebook status on January 25. “We took this fight in October man. I’m on weight now, am I supposed to gain 8 pounds in a week? I’m already fighting up a weight class as it is… you can’t even do 175?”

The post was immediately met with anger from Erickson’s friends and teammates with several calling Hansen “unprofessional” for his actions. In the fall of 2017, Hansen and Erickson had agreed to fight this coming February at welterweight. 170-pounds was heavy for Erickson who had spent the majority of his career fighting in the 155-pound lightweight division. Flash forward nearly four months, ac yn awr, with Hansen unable to make 170-pounds, Erickson was on the spot to accept or decline a fight in what was essentially the middleweight division – two weight classes higher than where he would normally compete. If he declined, Erickson would be wasting months of training in preparation for the fight.

Munudau yn ddiweddarach, Hansen came to his own defense on Erickson’s Facebook thread.

“Hey sorry for the bad news but just being honest with people,” wrote Hansen. “I’m currently 9 pounds over my marks. I’m only 2 weeks off from my medical suspension from a fractured tibia. It was a set back for sure in getting in the work I needed. I’m down to fight, but j [s.i.c.] will not give up 50% of my show/win/and commission. Sorry but you know I’m game to fight”

Hansen is referring to the standard contract terms in which he had agreed to forfeit $100 per pound for each pound he weighed over 170-pounds at weigh-ins.

” F**k you, I’m still going to kick your ass,” retorted Erickson on the thread. “179 it is scumbag. Hope your [s.i.c.] happy you got your way.”

The argument went on publicly for several days between the two sides with many of each fighters’ friends and teammates chiming in with their opinions. Yn y pen, the fight was saved with Hansen and Erickson agreeing to meet at a catchweight of 179-poundsdydd Sadwrn night in Lewiston. The fans will be the winners as they will get to see one of the most anticipated fights in recent memory.

“We agreed to fight at 170,” stated Erickson when reached for comment. “I typically fight at 155, and I’m not the biggest 155er as it is. I didn’t pressure him to take it at 170. He accepted and should make the weight or pay the fine for missing. Yn lle hynny, he decided to say he wants the bout at 179 or he’s going to pull from the fight one week from weigh-ins. I don’t care about his bulls**t excuses, you agreed, you should do what you agreed to do. We had almost four months for this. With that much time, there is absolutely no excuse. We’re supposed to be professionals. So here we are now, fighting at 179, which only gives him a greater size advantage. Even still, it won’t be enough. I would have been merciful and just finished him quick, but now he’s going to pay for his disrespect.”

“I’m not exactly sure why Jesse took this to Facebook, but great idea really, now everyone is talking about it again,” said Hansen when contacted for comment. “The situation sucks, ond mae'n beth ydyw. I was injured a few weeks after signing this fight. I was medically suspended and had to see how this injury would heal and if it would stop me from competing. I don’t think it’s bad enough to stop me from competing, but it stopped me from getting in a camp the way I should. Os bydd unrhyw beth, Jesse should be happy he is fighting a lesser version of myself. I’m not at my best right now. I didn’t want to pull out and Jesse is the one running around telling everyone he will fight me no matter at what weight. I believe him, so what’s the big deal. If I would of pulled out due to injury a few weeks back, everyone would be saying the same s**t for that reason. I didn’t make this fight, a wnaeth. He knew where I fought and decided he wanted to fight. I didn’t ask him to do this. He wants to fight – he will get a fight.”

One of the biggest MMA stars ever to come out of Maine, Boyington will make his return to the NEF cage after a two-year absence that saw him compete on the global stage in places like Russia and New York City’s famed Madison Square Garden. Trahan makes his third trip to Maine to compete. He is coming off a win over Connor Barry (3-2) disgyn diwethaf.

CJ Piser (3-0) is out to make history by becoming the first competitor to hold NEF championships simultaneously in multiple weight divisions. Ewer is the reigning NEF Pro Middleweight Champion.

Speaking of which, Nate Boucher (2-1), a product of CMBJJ, ac Ryan Burgess (2-2) of Berserkers MMA will headline the amateur portion of the fight card. The flyweights, former teammates on the Mountain Valley High School wrestling squad, have engaged in a recent war of words heading into the bout.

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

Gadael sylw

Lewiston, Maine (Ionawr 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, eich bod yn gwybod?” 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, sy'n troi 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 Dydd Sadwrn, Chwefror 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Dydd Sadwrn."

 

 

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

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Mae'n rhyfelwr. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Mae gen i lawer o barch iddo. 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” dyfarniad. 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.

 

 

"Ie, 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. Yn anffodus, 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,” dywedodd.

 

 

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 neu 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, sy'n troi 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 Chwefror 3 ei osod ar gyfer 7 p.m. Mae tocynnau ar gael yn www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 est. 525.

Bydd yn wedi bod bron i flwyddyn ers Burgess, o dair amser pencampwr Maine reslo ysgol yn uchel ac titleholder NEF gorffennol, cerdded i mewn i'r cawell. Galwodd NEF cyd-berchennog a matchmaker Matt Peterson a gofyn yn benodol am y frwydr Boucher.

 

 

 

Pam? Ar un llaw, roedd yn benderfyniad busnes ar ôl cau Boucher yn, colli hollt-penderfyniad i Witham mewn Tachwedd Teitl bout.

 

 

 

"Rydw i wedi bod allan am flwyddyn. Yr oeddwn yn gobeithio i neidio i'r dde yn ôl i mewn i ymladd teitl,"Esboniodd Burgess. "Ar ôl ymladd Nate gyda Witham, Roeddwn yn gwybod y byddai'n dymuno i'r rematch ar unwaith. Unwaith y daeth yn amlwg nad oedd yn mynd i ddigwydd tan fis Ebrill, Gofynnais a gallem wneud frwydr hon ym mis Chwefror, a chymerodd Nate hynny. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) wedyn lansio un neu ddau o grenadau cyfryngau cymdeithasol oedd yn ymddangos i ddangos rhywfaint o ddrwgdeimlad tuag at ei gyd-Falcon. Mae'n debyg llai personol na'r tactegol; synhwyro Burgess cyfle i fanteisio ar yr hyn y mae'n ei weld fel un o'r chinks mewn arfwisg Boucher yn.

 

 

 

"Nate, byth ers iddo fod yn blentyn, Mae agwedd piss-wael pan mae'n colli. Yr wyf yn gobeithio i ostyngedig ychydig iddo a gwneud yn siŵr nad oes ganddo i chi boeni am y frwydr hon gael yn nwylo beirniaid,"Meddai Burgess. "Nate yn ôl pob tebyg y gallai fod wedi bod yn ddau- neu dri-amser pencampwr wladwriaeth pe bai wedi cael y cyfle i wneud hynny ei hun. Os bydd yn dal i fod yr un agwedd oedd ganddo bryd hynny, mae'n mynd i roi diwedd ar yr un ffordd. "

 

 

 

Burgess yn un o bedwar bencampwyr wladwriaeth tri-amser yn unig yn hanes MVHS. Trwy gyd-ddigwyddiad, brawd Boucher yn, Ethan, Hefyd, cyflawni y gamp.

 

 

 

Boucher, sydd eisoes wedi cymryd pedwar-amser yn bencampwr mat ysgol uwchradd Maine, a dwy-amser Lloegr Newydd yn rownd derfynol, Jeremiah Barkac o Dexter yn ystod ei amser yn y hecsagon Fframwaith yr Amgylchedd Naturiol, edrych ac yn swnio fel cymeriad gwahanol na'r un a oedd yn brwydro i ffwrdd oddi wrth y mat yn ei harddegau.

 

 

 

Ar ôl ennill ei ddau ymladd cyntaf yn rhwydd, Boucher (2-1) nid oedd yr unig un yn yr adeilad a oedd yn teimlo ei fod wedi gwneud digon i ennill y gwregys yn Portland.

 

 

 

"Roeddwn i'n meddwl fy mod yn rheoli dau gylch cyntaf y frwydr. Mae'r tri, 'n sylweddol. Mae'r ddau cyntaf i mi 'n bert lawer wedi cael (Witham) tagu allan,"Meddai Boucher. "Mae'n dod i ben i fyny fod yn brofiad dysgu i mi nad ydych yn gallu gadael y frwydr i'r beirniaid. Y peth gwych am y rhengoedd amatur yn, tra, wrth gwrs, yr wyf yn gofalu am fy record, ar ddiwedd y dydd mae'n rhan o'r broses ddysgu i wneud i chi yn broffesiynol yn well. "

 

 

 

Mewn ymateb i Burgess’ volleys ar Facebook, Cwestiynodd Boucher ymddygiad y cyn-bencampwr ar ôl ennill y strap NEF dau ymladd yn ei yrfa.

 

 

 

"Dydw i ddim yn fawr am y sgwrs sbwriel. Fi jyst mwynhau'r gamp. Rwy'n hoffi i ymladd ac yna dim ond mynd adref. Mae'n gwneud yn ychydig yn i adeiladu ei ego rwy'n credu,"Meddai Boucher. "Roedd yn gollwng y gwregys am ei fod yn cael trafferth gwneud pwysau, sydd yn eithaf amharchus, yn fy marn i. Bu'n allan am ychydig, felly nawr rwy'n o'i flaen, ac mae'n gwybod ei fod yn rhaid iddo fynd drwy i mi. "

 

 

 

Dywedodd Burgess ei fod yn arfer bod layoff i gwblhau ei addysg coleg a datblygu ei gymwysterau fel cynorthwyydd therapydd corfforol, sy'n dangos bod y proffesiwn meddygol yn fwy tebygol o fod yn ei yrfa yn y tymor hir na MMA.

 

 

 

Tra parhaodd ei amserlen hyfforddi yng Nghanolfan Gymunedol Rumford gyda Berserkers MMA, Dywedodd Burgess ei fod yn llai dwys ac yn strwythuredig cyn iddo colledion yn erbyn Witham a Dustin Veinott. Burgess trechu ddau cystadleuwyr yn flaenorol.

"Ar y pryd roeddwn yn gorffen ysgol, gweithio'n rhan-amser 20 i 30 awr yr wythnos ac yn mynd i'r ysgol ar gyfer pob tebyg arall 40. Rwy'n colli dau ymladd lle'r oeddwn i dan bwysau. Roeddwn yn ennill pwysau tra bod y guys eraill yn torri phwysau. Byddwn yn mynd i mewn 'na ar y terfyn ac y byddent yn ei roi ar 10 i 15 bunnoedd rhwng y pwyso i mewn ac yn y frwydr. "

 

 

 

Boucher cyfaddef byth yn cyrraedd ei botensial fel wrestler ysgol uwchradd. Mae wedi dilyn llwybr gwahanol na Burgess, cofrestru yn Central Maine Brasil Jiu-Jitsu - lle mae'n dal yn hyfforddi heddiw - ar ôl cyrraedd oedran 13.

 

 

 

"Mae gen i rai o'r partneriaid hyfforddi caletaf a gorau yn y wladwriaeth,"Meddai Boucher. "Mae fy jiu-jitsu wedi dod yn bell, bron y pwynt lle y mae wedi llwyddo yn fy reslo ychydig bach. Wrth gwrs, reslo yw hyn yr wyf bob amser yn mynd yn ôl i'r pan fo'i angen arnaf. Fy trawiadol yw nos-a-diwrnod. Roedd yn ofnadwy ar gyfer fy frwydr gyntaf. "

 

 

 

Ychwanegodd fod ei lwyddiant mwyaf mewn MMA wedi dod ar draul cyn reslwyr.

 

 

 

Burgess yn cyfrif ar Boucher i amcangyfrif yn rhy isel gweddill ei repertoire. Fel rhywun a ddechreuodd reslo ar y tîm Varsity iau ysgol ganol yn seithfed radd, dywedodd fod ei hanes fel astudiaeth gyflym wedi ei gario drosodd i mewn i deyrnas o jiu-jitsu a bocsio.

 

 

 

"Rwy'n credu ei fod yn mynd i fod yn synnu. Mae'n meddwl ei fod yn gwybod yr hyn yr wyf yn dod at y bwrdd,"Meddai Burgess. "Mae pob ei fod yn gwybod am i mi yw fy reslo, ond mae'n rhaid i mi lawer mwy na hynny i ddisgyn yn ôl ar. Rwyf eisoes yn gwybod yr hyn y mae'n dod at y bwrdd. Ac nid mae'n mynd i ddysgu mewn dau fis hyn yr wyf wedi ei ddysgu mewn dwy flynedd."
