LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 30, 2016) - Jarod “Menit Terakhir” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, to say the least. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “leher merah” Mundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. Faktanya, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

“It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

“I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Kata Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR TOP MAINE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 29, 2016) – Devin Powell was enjoying an evening off from his demanding life as a mixed martial arts instructor and fighter.

He was surrounded by food that probably isn’t on his normal training menu. There were celebratory beverages to fit the loud music and party atmosphere at Xfinity Center, the outdoor concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Somehow, Powell heard his phone ring, or felt it vibrate in his pocket. The impending conversation altered his day-after plans considerably.

Powell accepted a return engagement with Jon Lemke at “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight,” to be held Hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

“I found out my good friend Jesse Erickson got hurt,” Powell said, “and they asked me to fill in. I said ‘of course.’ Anybody representing UFC, never mind Dana White, if you ever have a chance to fight in front of them, it’s something you want to do if you’re able. It should be a nice, intimate setting.”

Powell (7-1) is the NEF lightweight champion, having secured the strap with a technical knockout of Erickson at “NEF 22: All Roads Lead Here” in April. Lemke (5-5) lost to previous champion Bruce Boyington in a bid for that belt.

The fight will take place five pounds above the lightweight limit at a catch weight of 160.

“It’s a huge opportunity,” said Lemke, who lives in neighboring Brewer. “I’m very grateful. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of probably the most influential person in MMA.”

Their bout is one of eight professional skirmishes to be showcased in front of White, a native of nearby Hermon, and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra. The trio travels the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Neither man is known to shy away from the spotlight. Lemke stopped Erickson at Bellator 93 in Lewiston two years ago. Powell pushed his winning streak to five with a split-decision triumph Bulan Juni 17 over Tommy Marcellino on the World Series of Fighting stage at Foxwoods.

“I know they’re probably here to watch the guys in the main event,” Powell said of White and his entourage, “but I plan to put on a show that they won’t be able to sleep on. With my fighting style, very aggressive and unorthodox, I believe I definitely will get their attention. This sport is a lot about getting the right opportunity and taking advantage of it.”

When asked if he perceived any edge because Powell took the fight on three weeks’ notice, Lemke politely pointed out that he only began preparing for Erickson two weeks prior to that.

Lemke lost to Josh LaBerge pada tanggal Bulan Juni 10.

“I only had a couple extra weeks to prepare. I was still training, but that’s all. I was in pretty good shape but not in fight shape,” Lemke said. “It’s one of those things where they ask you and you’re like, ‘Oh, satu, I really want to do this, but.’ It’s just too big an opportunity not to. It’s not necessarily ideal, but as a fighter, absolutely you’re looking for that challenge, and Devin is one of the best guys in the game around here.”

He learned that first-hand, and in resounding fashion, when the two fighters previously clashed on May 10, 2014. Powell prevailed via choke-out in only 23 detik.

That setting was Lemke’s comeback fight after his abrupt withdrawal from a title match against John Ortolani eight months earlier.

“It didn’t go very well last time. There were a lot of distractions and different circumstances for me leading up to that fight. I had to pull out of a title fight before that, which you never want to do. Three-quarters of the battle for me was just getting back in the cage,” Lemke said.

“I’m a completely different fighter now," dia menambahkan. “I think I’ve progressed everywhere, not just with my skills but with the approach I take. I’ve had quite a few fights and I’ve learned from both the wins and the losses. You always learn. Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

Lemke and Powell each enter the cage for the fourth time in less than a year. That activity is the reason neither man feels uneasy about accepting such a stern challenge after an abbreviated training camp.

In Powell’s case, fighting is simply a natural extension of his everyday life as owner and head instructor at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

“I’m grateful for everything I have. I have a 4-year-old daughter and she likes to come to the academy and train jiu-jitsu,” Powell said. “I have a pretty amazing life. I only have to teach, train and fight. A lot of people don’t get more than a couple hours with their kids every night. We sacrifice a lot for this sport. People only see the 15 minutes of hell. They don’t see everything else.”

Powell is pleased to represent NEF for only the third time in his blossoming career.

“NEF is one of the biggest promotions in the country. They make superstars out of guys from Maine,” Powell said. “I fought for World Series of Fighting, and I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking them, but it was a much smaller show. NEF has a huge following, and now you see them going places like Cape Cod and Bangor, and that can only grow it even more. They do it right, and I’m glad to be able to step in there for them.”

Lemke faces the added pressure of fighting in front of not only White but his hometown fans from the Bangor area.

Many of them are not accustomed to the four-hour round trip for his encounters in Lewiston.

“A fight is still just a fight, and the next fight is the biggest fight regardless. You never know who could be there watching or what could happen as a result,” Lemke said, suggesting that he is more concerned with his opponent. “Devin is a phenomenal fighter. He has a great skill set. He’s highly touted and he has a great record to back it up. It’s definitely the challenge of a lifetime for me. He’s also a great guy outside the cage. I get along with him well. I think we respect each other.”

Powell confirmed those suspicions, although he reiterated that his objective is nothing less than another decisive victory.

“He’s a good guy. I don’t have to go to that deep, dark place. I understand that my job is to hurt someone so badly that the referee has to step in to save his life. It’s a beautiful, violent sport. I respect anyone who has the courage to get in there with the same goals as me,” Powell said. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. Dia agresif. He comes to fight. I like to do the same things. The first fight was short-lived. If I’m able to repeat that, I’m sure Dana White will be happy.”

MMA MUDA MEMILIKI KEUNGGULAN BIDANG RUMAH PADA AGUSTUS 5 DI BANGOR

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 28, 2016) – Delegasi berdedikasi dari Young’s MMA of Bangor biasanya menikmati reputasi mereka sebagai pejuang jalanan di New England Fights.

Lewiston telah lama ditetapkan sebagai kota pusat organisasi, menarik para pesaing dan penonton dari kedua arah di Maine Turnpike. Pejuang dan penggemar dari lembah Penobscot River menemukan bahwa tetap bertunangan untuk kartu pertarungan itu empat atau lima kali setahun membutuhkan komitmen yang lebih besar daripada kebanyakan orang..

Untuk kedua kalinya dalam sejarahnya, promosi regional akan membawa kandangnya ke Queen City. “Hadiah NEF: Dana White Lookin ’for a Fight” dijadwalkan untuk hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 di Cross Insurance Center.

Muda, gym terletak hanya beberapa blok jauhnya 127 Hammond Street, akan merayakannya dengan menampilkan salah satu pejuangnya dalam empat dari delapan pertandingan profesional yang dijadwalkan. Ryan Sanders yang teruji pertempuran dan pendatang baru Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey dan CJ Ewer semuanya siap untuk mengambil bidikan terbaik mereka dengan dukungan yang parau, kerumunan partisan.

“Itu bagian yang paling menarik bagi saya, berasal dari Brewer. Saya bersekolah di Brewer High School,Lacey berkata. “Itu pasti sangat besar, hasil imbang yang sangat besar bagi saya, melihatnya secara langsung. Saya pergi ke perkelahian ketika NEF datang ke Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Bulan Juli 12, 2013) dan yang bisa kupikirkan hanyalah, 'Pria, Saya ingin melakukan ini. 'Ini telah menjadi tujuan saya sejak lama. ”

Sanders (10-7) akan melawan Derrick Kennington (11-7) dalam bentrokan kelas ringan yang akan menjadi atraksi unggulan di map.

Ketiga stablemate-nya masing-masing muncul sebagai pemenang dalam satu-satunya pertarungan pro sebelumnya. Lacey akan mengunci diri dengan John Santos (3-3) dari Derry, N.H., dalam pertarungan kelas bulu. Harvey ada janji di kelas bulu. Guci, yang memenangkan pertarungan amatir di tempat konser luar ruangan di Bangor, akan diuji oleh Ruben Redman (0-1) dalam memo kelas welter.

Bahkan dengan banyak teman yang hadir, keempat orang itu tahu itu adalah kehadiran presiden UFC White, yang tumbuh di dekat Hermon, yang dapat memiliki konsekuensi yang mengubah karier.

“Ini kesempatan yang bagus. Sungguh luar biasa mengetahui bahwa seseorang seperti itu akan berada di gedung pada malam pertarungan,Kata Sanders. “Tapi bagi saya itu hanya pertarungan lain. Saya tidak ingin terjebak dalam semua itu. Biarkan saja itu terungkap. ”

White dan rekannya Din Thomas dan Matt Serra melakukan perjalanan keliling negeri untuk mengejar bakat MMA yang belum ditemukan dalam reality show yang disiarkan di halaman YouTube White serta layanan video streaming berbasis langganan UFC Fight Pass.

Iya Nih, koneksi pengusaha Maine didokumentasikan dengan baik. White juga sebelumnya membawakan UFC Fight Night 47 ke Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, akan tetapi.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,” Harvey said. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Saya senang untuk itu. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. Orang-orang melihatnya dan ingin berlatih dengan orang-orang terbaik yang mereka bisa,Kata Sanders. “Kami pasti saling mendorong. Anda memiliki orang-orang yang menendang pantat Anda setiap hari. Kami menginginkan yang terbaik untuk satu sama lain. Itu sebabnya kami ada di sini. "

Harvey mengharapkan jumlah dan komitmen untuk tumbuh setelah kunjungan White. Dia telah berlatih di Young selama tiga tahun. Kursi samping kandang di tepi pantai menginspirasinya untuk meningkatkan gaya latihannya sendiri. Itu adalah keunggulan yang tertanam, Harvey mencatat, yang hampir secara eksklusif dimiliki oleh Lewiston sampai sekarang.

“Itulah yang membuat kebanyakan orang memulai. Mereka pergi dan melihat perkelahian dan mereka ingin mencobanya,” Harvey said. “Itulah mengapa Anda melihat tempat-tempat seperti Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) dan MMA Kelas Satu (Topsham) tumbuh begitu banyak. Pertarungan ada di halaman belakang mereka. "

Lacey mencirikan Young sebagai "gym yang penuh dengan pembunuh."

Statistik menggarisbawahi poin Lacey. Tiga pemain profesional dengan rekor tak bercacat semuanya memenangkan debut mereka dalam dua menit atau kurang.

“Ryan hanya mengambil keputusan yang saya pikir sekali dalam karirnya. Dia seorang finisher. Josh memenangkan pertarungannya dengan kuncian di babak pertama. CJ sangat kuat,Lacey berkata. “Mereka menantang saya untuk menjadi yang terbaik setiap hari. Mereka membuat saya tetap fokus tidak hanya di gym tetapi juga dalam permainan kehidupan di luar kandang. ”

Meskipun dia menghadapi lawan dengan pengalaman yang jauh lebih besar, Lacey mengharapkan adrenalin yang membantu karena memiliki begitu banyak wajah yang dikenal di belakangnya.

“Ini berbeda. Saya bertarung, saya pikir tujuh kali di Lewiston antara pertarungan amatir dan debut profesional saya,"Dia berkata. “Ini memberi saya kesempatan untuk berada di zona nyaman saya. Dan banyak penggemar saya yang tidak bisa hadir. Pada saat Anda memikirkan perjalanan, harga tiketnya, mungkin menginap, mereka tidak bisa melakukannya. "

Harvey setuju, menunjukkan bahwa ini adalah pertarungan awal yang tidak perlu dia bawa ke dalam koper.

“Ini akan menjadi pertama kalinya aku tidur di tempat tidurku sendiri pada malam sebelum bertengkar. Saya pikir itu keuntungan besar,” Harvey said. “Beberapa orang mungkin berpikir dengan lebih banyak penggemar Anda di sana bahwa ada lebih banyak tekanan, tapi saya pikir itu hanya membangun Anda. "

NEF ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF WRESTLING ESSAY CONTEST

Tinggalkan komentar

Rumford, Maine (Bulan Juli 20, 2016) - Perkelahian New England (NEF), America’s number one regional fight promotion, earlier today announced the winners of this year’s contest to attend the University of Southern Maine’s (USM) annual “Brawlin’ Lobster Wrestling Clinic.”

 

Isaiah Cogswell, a junior at More High School in Bath, Maine and Benjamin Mahoney, a junior at York High School in York, Maine, will both have their tuition costs covered to attend this year’s clinic and will both receive a unique NEF prize package that includes tickets to “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLIANS” to be held on September 10th di Androscoggin Bank Colisee di Lewiston, Maine. The contest was sponsored by NEF and NEF professional featherweight mixed martial artist, Brandon “The Dream Killer” Bushaw. In order to enter, applicants needed to submit a 200-word essay outlining how attending the 2016 clinic would help them to achieve their wrestling goals. Cogswell and Mahoney were selected out of over 40 applicants.

 

“I want to attend this camp so I can achieve my goal of Maine heavyweight champion and this camp will help me not only keep my skills but to improve upon them,” wrote Mahoney, who has placed at both mid-states and the Atlantic Invitational tournament since he began wrestling on the varsity team his freshman year. “I would like to show to my coaches that I am willing to take the extra step to show leadership and experience, so that I could also be a team captain this year.”

 

“This camp would give me an opportunity to be exposed to more coaching styles and learn more about who I am as a wrestler,” Cogswell, a varsity wrestler and KVAC Champion, wrote in his essay. “I am not done, I still have work to do to reach my goals.”

 

This year’s dual sponsorship to send two wrestlers to the clinic was made possible by the contribution of Brandon Bushaw, a two-time state wrestling champion and member of the Maine Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame. After a successful career at Westbrook High School, Bushaw went on to wrestle at Michigan State University alongside teammates and UFC-standouts Rashad Evans and Gray Maynard. With almost 20 fights under his belt between his amateur and professional mixed martial arts careers, Bushaw has never forgotten his wrestling roots and the lessons he gained from competing in the sport.

 

“Wrestling has molded my life on and off the mat since my freshman year of high school,” said Bushaw. “I look back and am so thankful to this day that Coach Walsh wouldn’t leave me alone about coming out for the Westbrook wrestling team all those years ago. If I can give back even one percent of what I got out of wrestling, it would be monumental to me. That’s why when I saw NEF was paying for a young wrestler to go to camp, I called Matt and told him I would like to send someone as well! I’m glad he accepted my offer and I hope that wrestling has the same impact on this young man’s life that it did mine!”

 

“Wrestling is one of the oldest and most effective martial arts in the world,"Menyatakan NEF co-pemilik mak comblang Matt Peterson. “Participating in the sport of wrestling has the potential to improve one’s performance in all areas of life. We’re proud to send these two deserving young men to the USM clinic this summer and hope this plays a part in helping them to achieve their goals both on and off the wrestling mat next season.”

 

“Myself and our coaching staff appreciate NEF and Brandon for sponsoring these wrestlers and giving them an opportunity to attend our camp,” stated Mike Morin, USM Head Wrestling Coach, himself a two-time All-American, when reached for comment. “We are the only NCAA program in the state and will have coaches from all over the Northeast as clinicians. These sponsorships are allowing these wrestlers to participate and learn at a high level. Gantinya, this only helps the state as a whole grow and get better.”

ERICKSON OUT, POWELL IN TO FACE LEMKE IN FRONT OF UFC PRESIDENT

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 18, 2016) – When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White comes to Bangor onBulan Agustus 5, 2016 to check out the local talent New England Fights (NEF) has to offer, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (7-5) will unfortunately have to watch from the sidelines. Erickson suffered an injury while training for his bout with Jon Lemke (5-5) previously-scheduled to take place that evening. White will be present to record a future episode of his web series Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight in which professional mixed-martial-artists have a shot at earning a UFC contract based on their performance.

 

Within mere hours of being informed of Erickson’s injury, NEF executives had found a replacement in the form of the promotion’s reigning professional lightweight champion Devin Powell (7-1). The bout will be a non-title contest scheduled for three-rounds at a catchweight of 160-pounds. It is a rematch of a May 2014 NEF fight which Powell won via first-round submission. Should Lemke win the rematch, he will be in line for a title shot in the rubber match.

 

“Sekali lagi, I am incredibly thankful and grateful to NEF for making this fight happen,” kata Lemke. “Getting an opponent change last minute is usually pretty stressful. Not this time, akan tetapi, as the crew at NEF was on top of it, and the next day I had a new opponent. I am very much looking forward to getting another crack at Devin, as I had a horrible showing in our first fight. Devin is a highly-touted and talented fighter and I expect an all out battle for sure. I have been looking forward to another crack at him for some time and you will see the best Jon Lemke yet.”

 

“Taking a short notice fight against Lemke was a no brainer,” stated Powell. “No way could I pass on a chance to fight a fellow Mainer a few hours away from my mom’s hometown of Allagash, Maine. Dana, I hope you get your popcorn, because you’re about to see a show. Hell or high water, I’m getting my hand raised.”

HANSEN AND ANDRIKUT ON COLLISION COURSE SET FOR NEF 25

Tinggalkan komentar

 

 

UNTUK SEGERA: Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Juni 29, 2016) – They are two of the top light-heavyweights currently competing in New England Fights (NEF). Their respective most recent wins were both against Jesse Baughman (0-2). Both are accomplished wrestlers. At some point, Mikropon “The Kumis” Hansen (4-4) dan Matt “The Beast Dari Utara” Andrikut(2-0) were bound to collide. That collision will take place at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” pada tanggal Bulan September 10, 2016 di Lewiston. The mixed-martial-arts (MMA) contest is set at a fight weight of 205-pounds.

 

Hansen is the founder of the Berserkers MMA fight team based out of the Greater Rumford Community Center in Rumford, Maine. He was a Maine state champion wrestling out of Mountain Valley High School. Hansen dropped his last fight to Brendan Battles (1-0) di “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. He had a chance to avenge that loss and get back on the winning track this month at “NEF 24,” but suffered a setback when his opponent fell out the morning of weigh-ins.

 

“This should be an exciting fight,” said Hansen. “Two good wrestlers ready to throw each other around sounds like a good time to me. This should be my last fight at 205 most likely, meskipun. I’m heading down to 185-170 to try my luck against guys my size. Fighting these big guys sure is exciting, but it cost my body a lot. Expect nothing less than me coming ready to break him.”

 

Prior to his professional MMA career, Matt Andrikut wrestled for the University of Southern Maine (USM) and also boxed as an amateur. He was a finalist in the Northern New England Golden Gloves. During his amateur MMA career, Andrikut famously defeated Pat Walsh. Walsh would later go on to compete in the UFC and World Series of Fighting at the national level. Andrikut is 2-0 in the NEF MMA cage since debuting with the promotion last year.

 

“I am ready to be in the cage again,” said Andrikut from his home in Reno, Nevada. “I know Mike is a tough wrestler and possibly an even tougher striker. This is a fight that no one would want to miss. I look forward to the challenge to further enhance my career in MMA towards a much deserved title shot in NEF.”

YOUNG’S & FIRST CLASS MEET IN SECOND TITLE FIGHT AT NEF 25

Tinggalkan komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Juni 28, 2016) – Less than 24-hours after the announcement of the amateur light-heavyweight title fight between Young’s MMA’s Victor Irwin (2-0) and First Class MMA’s Nick Shea (2-0), fight promotion New England Fights (NEF) released a second championship bout between the two gyms at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Terkalahkan Rafael “Air Guard” Velado (3-0), Shea’s teammate at First Class MMA, dijadwalkan untuk menghadapi Jimmy Jackson (3-2), a teammate of Irwin at Young’s MMA, for the vacant NEF mixed-martial-arts (MMA) amateur lightweight title. The title was previously held by Josh Harvey (1-0) of Young’s MMA and vacated last April when he moved up to the professional ranks.

 

“Pertama-tama, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” Kata Velado. “There are other promotions in New England, but nobody puts on a show like NEF. I’ve made it very clear that I am here to fight the toughest guys I can and once again I’m getting my way.”

 

In Velado’s last fight, he took on and defeated Mike Peitersen (3-1). Dalam melakukannya, Velado handed him the first loss of his career. Peitersen is another teammate of Jimmy Jackson at Young’s MMA.

 

“Leading up to the Mike Peitersen fight, he and I respectfully challenged each other to train hard and bring it,” Velado continued. “I believe that we did that and then some. Now I have another Young’s fighter in front of me and I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Jackson has been looking good in his last few outings and I believe we are a good match-up. I see a trend of BJJ players who come over into MMA and think they are just going to jits their way through every fight. I can assure you that I am not that guy and you will see a constant evolution of skills in my fights.”

 

Jackson will have the opportunity to gain a measure of revenge for his team against Velado. Setelah memulai karir amatir di 1-2, Jackson has won his last two in a row, including a submission victory over Kris Welch (0-1) di “NEF 16” tahun lalu.

 

“Fighting Raf is a huge opportunity for me – an opportunity I am very grateful for,” said Jackson when reached for comment. “This is the time for me to show how far I’ve come and how much time and work Chris Young (Young’s MMA head coach) and the rest of the coaching staff and team have put into making me the best version of myself. Saya melakukan ini untuk mereka, my team and my family.”

 

“I am pumped to be fighting alongside my First Class MMA brothers and sisters in September and I will be so proud to hand that 155 NEF Championship belt to John Raio (First Class MMA head coach) and tell him, ‘There’s more where that came from,'” said Velado in closing. “As far as ‘Heroes & Villains,’ I believe every man or woman who steps in that cage is a hero, but you have to have a little villain inside you to do what’s necessary to win.”

GLOVER VACATES; A NEW LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED AT NEF 25

Tinggalkan komentar

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) campuran seni bela diri (MMA) amateur light-heavyweight title. The months to come would see Glover accept a new job that would take him up and down the East Coast. With little time to train to defend the title, and in the interest of doing right by the division, Glover recently made the difficult decision to relinquish the championship.

 

NEF executives were quick to act. Sebelumnya hari ini, the fight promotion announced that Victor Irwin (2-0) would meet Nick Shea (2-0) to fill the vacancy. The two undefeated athletes are scheduled to face-off to determine a new light-heavyweight champion at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” pada tanggalBulan September 10, 2016 di Lewiston.

 

Irwin was a standout wrestler at Brewer High School in Brewer, Maine at 195-pounds where he was a Class-A state champion. His love for the sport is so strong that when Irwin attended Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) and learned the school did not have a wrestling program, he created one himself. As a college freshman in 2014 Irwin went to Nationals and achieved All-American status. He currently trains out of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

 

“I’ve thought a lot about this fight and I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what I say,” said Irwin, “it matters what I do, dan datang September 10thyou’re gonna see some serious doing.”

 

2015 was a great start to the MMA career of Nick Shea. In February of that year, he won his debut fight over the much more experienced Jacob Cameron (1-5) melalui putaran pertama TKO. Later in the year, Shea would go on to defeat Ruben Redman (0-1) by decision in a hard-fought contest. It would earn Shea a nomination for the “Rookie of the Year” dalam 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Pada Tanggal Bulan September 10 di Lewiston, Shea will attempt to become the first member of the First Class MMA fight team to capture gold in the NEF cage.

 

“It’s an honor to fight someone from Young’s MMA,” said Shea. “I believe this will be my biggest test in the cage to date. I’m grateful and excited to compete for the amateur light heavyweight title. Victor and I will put on an exciting fight on Hari Sabtu, September 10th!”
