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. Það að segja, 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. Og Apríl 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

 

 

Skjóta losun: Portland, Maine (Febrúar 5, 2018) - New England Berst (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland on Apríl 14, 2018 með næstu baráttunni auglýsingarinnar er blönduð Martial-Arts atburði, “NEF 33: Riptide.” Fyrr í dag, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. John Ortolani (8-11) mun mæta Caleb Hall (0-0) á slagsmálum þyngd 155 pund.

 

 

 

 

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) í 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).

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

Lewiston, Maine (Febrúar 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 Laugardagur."

 

 

 

 

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 af fyrstu umferð.

 

 

 

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 af opnun umferð.

 

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

 

Með sigri, 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, þó, 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 £.

 

 

 

 

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 dóm, 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.

Like Lane, Ronnie Lippett played his entire NFL career for the New England Patriots. He was with the team for eight seasons from 1983 að 1991. Lippett was a starting cornerback for the team, remembered particularly for shutting down the passing attack of divisional rivals the Miami Dolphins. Í raun, seven of Lippett’s 24 total career interceptions came against Dolphins Hall of Fame quarterback Dan Marino. He intercepted Marino twice in the same 1986 regular season game in Foxboro.

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

Lewiston, Maine (Janúar 29, 2018) - Þetta Laugardagur nótt, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mike “The yfirvaraskegg” 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 isyou can’t even do 175?”

The post was immediately met with anger from Erickson’s friends and teammates with several calling Hansenunprofessionalfor 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, og nú, with Hansen unable to make 170-pounds, Erickson was on the spot to accept or decline a fight in what was essentially the middleweight divisiontwo weight classes higher than where he would normally compete. If he declined, Erickson would be wasting months of training in preparation for the fight.

Augnablikum síðar, 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 fightersfriends and teammates chiming in with their opinions. Í lok, the fight was saved with Hansen and Erickson agreeing to meet at a catchweight of 179-poundslaugardag 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. “Ég berst venjulega kl 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. Í stað, 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, en það er það sem það er. 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. Ef eitthvað, 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, hann gerði. He knew where I fought and decided he wanted to fight. I didn’t ask him to do this. He wants to fighthe will get a fight.

NEF RETURNS TO LEWISTON ON SUPER BOWL WEEKEND WITH AN MMA SUPER CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Janúar 19, 2018) – The night before the National Football League (NFL) delivers its 2017-2018 season finale, New England Berst (NEF) will return to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston for the first time in eight months as the fight promotion presents “NEF 32: Super Laugardagur.” And while New England football fans will have to wait until this Sunday’s AFC championship game to find out whether their beloved Patriots will play in the Super Bowl, area mixed-martial-arts fans learned today which of their favorites will compete atNEF 32as promotion executives released the full fight card for the February 3rd atburður.

 

 

Í helstu atburði kvöldsins, Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-11) tekur á Taylor Trahan (7-8) at a catchweight of 150-pounds. 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) síðasta haust.

 

 

Aaron “Hörð” Lacey (4-1) andlit burt með Josh Parker (6-9) í featherweight lota. Lacey suffered the first loss of his pro career in November when a fight he was arguably on the way to winning was stopped by a doctor due to a cut on Lacey’s head. Parker will look to continue his recent success in the MMA cage after recent victories over Andre Belcarris (0-2) og Derek Shorey (4-9).

 

 

CJ Ewer (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, og 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. The winner will be in line for a shot at the amateur flyweight title later this spring.

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

Lewiston, Maine (Janúar 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. Og já, 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, þú veist?” 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, sem snýr 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 Laugardagur, Febrúar 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Laugardagur."

 

 

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

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Hann er stríðsmaður. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Ég hef mikla virðingu fyrir honum. 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” verðlaun. 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.

 

 

"Já, 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. Því miður, 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,” sagði hann.

 

 

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 eða 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, sem snýr 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.”

Spennu Running High eins Fyrrverandi fálka teammates Undirbúa fyrir MMA Cage Battle

Lewiston, Maine (Janúar 10, 2018) – Vaxa upp í sama blá-kraga samfélag og efla í gegnum það sama, hæða íþróttir program hjartarskinn ekki endilega að gera tvo menn bestu vini.

 

 

 

Fyrrverandi samherjar Mountain Valley High School, og framtíð New England Berst blönduðum bardagalistir andstæðinga, Ryan Burgess og Nate Boucher eru vísbendingar um gamla Maxim, “þekkingu kyn fyrirlitningu.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, og Boucher, 21, munu berjast í áhugamaður flyweight lota í "NEF 32: Super LaugardagurLaugardagur, Febrúar 3. Baráttan við Androscoggin Bank Colisee mun ákvarða númer eitt keppinautur í 125 pund deild, og vinna sigurvegari titil skot gegn meistari Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Það mun hafa verið í næstum ár síðan Burgess, þriggja tíma Maine menntaskóla glímukappi og fortíð NEF titleholder, gekk inn í búr. Hann kallaði Matt Peterson NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker og sérstaklega óskað eftir því Boucher baráttunni.

 

 

 

Hvers vegna? Annars vegar, það var fyrirtæki ákvörðun eftir lokun Boucher er, hættu-ákvörðun tap í Witham í nóvember titli lota.

 

 

 

"Ég hef verið út í ár. Ég var að vonast til að hoppa strax aftur inn í titli baráttu,"Burgess útskýrði. "Eftir baráttu Nates með Witham, Ég vissi að hann myndi vilja strax rematch. Þegar það varð ljóst að var ekki að fara að gerast fyrr en í apríl, Ég spurði hvort við gætum gert þetta berjast í febrúar, og Nate tók það. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) síðar hóf einn eða tvo félagslega fjölmiðla handsprengjum sem virtust benda sumir láréttur flötur af animosity átt náungi Falcon hans. Það er líklegt minna persónulegt en taktísk; Burgess skynjaði tækifæri til að nýta það sem hann sér sem einn af chinks í herklæðum Boucher er.

 

 

 

"Nate, síðan hann var krakki, hefur reiðan-fátækur viðhorf þegar hann missir. Ég vona að auðmýkja hann svolítið og ganga úr skugga um að hann þarf ekki að hafa áhyggjur af þessari baráttu fá í hendur dómara,"Burgess segir. "Nate sennilega hefði verið tveir- eða þriggja tíma ástand meistari ef hann hefði gefið sig tækifæri til að gera það. Ef hann hefur enn sama viðhorf hann hafði aftur þá, það er að fara að enda á sama hátt. "

 

 

 

Burgess er einn af aðeins fjórum þriggja tíma ríki meistarar í MVHS sögu. Tilviljun, Bróðir Boucher er, ethan, Einnig komið feat.

 

 

 

Boucher, sem hefur þegar tekið út fjögurra tíma Maine menntaskóla motta meistari, og tveggja tíma New England finalist, Jeremiah Barkac af Dexter á sínum tíma í NEF sexhyrningi, lítur út og hljómar eins og mismunandi karakter en sá sem barist burtu frá mat sem unglingur.

 

 

 

Eftir að hafa unnið fyrstu tveimur berst með vellíðan, Boucher (2-1) var ekki sú eina í húsinu sem fannst að hann hefði gert nóg til að vinna beltið í Portland.

 

 

 

"Ég hélt að ég stjórnað fyrstu tvær umferðir af baráttunni. allir þrír, raunverulega. Fyrstu tvær sem ég ansi mikið þurfti (Witham) kafnaði út,"Boucher segir. "Það endaði að vera að læra reynsla fyrir mig að þú getur ekki skilið í baráttunni við dómara. The mikill hlutur óður í the áhugamaður röðum er, en auðvitað ég hugsa um met mitt, í lok dags það er hluti af námsferli til að gera þig að betri atvinnu. "

 

 

 

Til að bregðast við Burgess’ volleys á Facebook, Boucher efast hegðun fyrrum meistari eftir að vinna NEF Ól tvo slagsmál í ferlinum.

 

 

 

"Ég er ekki mikið fyrir orðbragð. Ég njóta bara íþrótt. Ég vil berjast og þá bara fara heim. Hann gerir það svolítið til að byggja sjálf hans sem ég held,"Boucher segir. "Hann lækkaði belti vegna þess að hann var í vandræðum með að þyngd, sem er nokkuð disrespectful, að mínu mati. Hann var út um stund, svo nú er ég á undan honum, og hann veit að hann þarf að fara í gegnum mig. "

 

 

 

Burgess sagði hann notaði þessi layoff til að ljúka háskóli menntun sína og þróa persónuskilríki hans sem sjúkraþjálfari aðstoðarmaður, gefur til kynna að læknastéttin er líklegri til að vera til langs tíma feril hans en MMA.

 

 

 

Meðan hann hélt áfram þjálfun áætlun sína á Rumford Community Center með skorpufólk MMA, Burgess sagði að það væri minna ákafur og byggð fyrir tap hans gegn Witham og Dustin Veinott. Burgess sigraði áður bæði keppinauta.

 

 

 

"Líkamlega Ég samt hefði barið þau, en andlega var ég ekki eins tilbúinn og ég ætti að hafa verið. Nú er ég miklu markvissari,"Burgess segir. "Á þeim tíma sem ég var að klára skóla, vinna í hlutastarfi 20 að 30 klukkustundir á viku og fara í skóla fyrir sennilega annað 40. Ég missti tvo slagsmál þar sem ég var undir þyngd. Ég var að fitna en aðrir krakkar voru að skera þyngd. Ég myndi fara í það á mörkum og þeir myndu setja á 10 að 15 £ milli innvigtun og baráttuna. "

 

 

 

Boucher vísu aldrei náð möguleika sína sem framhaldsskóli wrestler. Hann hefur fylgt aðra leið en Burgess, innritast á Mið Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - þar sem hann þjálfar enn í dag - á aldrinum 13.

 

 

 

"Ég hef nokkrum af the herða og bestu þjálfun samstarfsaðila í því ríki,"Boucher segir. "Ég Jiu-jitsu hefur koma a langur vegur, nánast lið þar sem það hefur staðist minn glíma svolítið. Að sjálfsögðu, Glíma er það sem ég fer alltaf til baka þegar ég þarf það. sláandi mín er nótt-og-dagur. Það var hræðilegt fyrir fyrsta baráttu mína. "

 

 

 

Hann bætti við að mestur árangur hans í MMA hefur komið á kostnað fyrrum wrestlers.

 

 

 

Burgess er að telja á Boucher að vanmeta restina af efnisskrá hans. Eins og einhver sem tók upp glíma við Middle School yngri Varsity lið í sjöunda bekk, sagði hann að saga hans eins og a fljótur rannsókn hefur framkvæmt yfir í ríki jiu-jitsu og box.

 

 

 

"Ég held að hann er að fara að vera hissa. Hann heldur að hann viti hvað ég koma að borðinu,"Burgess segir. "Allt sem hann veit um mig er glíma mín, en ég hef mikið meira en það til að falla aftur á. Ég veit nú þegar hvað hann koma að borðinu. Og hann er ekki að fara að læra í tvo mánuði það sem ég hef lært á tveimur árum."
