Leahy te genyen inogirasyon amatè tit la pwa loud a “Nef XVIII Atik” sa a sot pase mwa jen lè li bat Berserkers mma koekipyèr Smith la Ryan Glover (2-1) via desizyon inanim. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “Nef XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) nan Auburn, Maine ak mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine.
“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” mande yon Leahy move. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”
Dave Smith te fè premye l 'sa a sezon prentan mma sot pase yo nan “Nef ksvii” nan Lewiston. That night, li bat Sonny Spratt (0-2) pa premye-wonn pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI). He followed up that victory with another win at “Nef XVIII Atik” nan mwa jen. Fwa sa a,, li te Gravin Guillen (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy onNovanm 21 nan Lewiston.
“Premye, Mwen ta renmen remèsye tout moun patisipe nan fè sa a batay rive,” Di Smith. “Mwen si ke li pa t 'fasil jwenn Billy la peche pou mwa novanm, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, ki gen ladan Mr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. M 'ap di dirèkteman nan Billy–jwenn tou pare epi pote senti m 'yo.”

Randi made her cage debut this past spring defeating Alex Walker (0-1) via inanim desizyon an “Nef ksvii.” The crowd in the Colisée was on fire as the bout went back and forth through three hard-fought rounds. Randi trains under her husband at Boyington’s Taekwondo Academy, osi byen ke nan mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine.
“Mwen se eksite yo dwe kite tounen nan kalòj la nan Novanm nan – li nan yon bagay M 'ap chache pou pi devan pou,” di Randi Bèt Boyington lè jwenn pou fè kòmantè. “M 'ap tann Erin yo dwe yon advèsè difisil, and I’m training as such. I never underestimate someone’s ability. I know what I’m bringing to the cage as well and NEF fans will be impressed in November. Fighting on the same night as my husband is a bonus. We’re both hungry to have our hands raised at the end of our fights. I don’t think many others could understand or appreciate the emotions that a couple share until they go through a training camp to fight on the same card.”
Erin Lamonte is not a stranger to the NEF cage. She appeared for the promotion in early 2013, bat Angela Theriault (0-1) atravè premye tou pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI). Lamonte was victorious twice more that year before taking time off from competing to have a baby with her husband Casey.

She has been eager to return to action for some time.

Time to prove that the new and improved mama Fun Size can still kick ass. After all, fenmèl lyon a manman se youn nan pi nan bwa ki nan ak te pè nan Peyi Wa ki bèt.”

I have the utmost respect to all those guys, men li la senti m 'ak li nan lakay mwen ak li lè mwen epi mwen pa gen entansyon sou kite ankò glise lwen mwen.”

Lewiston, Maine (Septanm 3, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) ak Nick Shea (1-0) soti nan Brunswick nan, Maine-based gym. Dènyèman, Premye klas mma fondatè ak tèt antrenè Jan “Premye Gwoup” Ray Joined nef ko-pwopriyetè ak promoteur Matt Peterson kòm envite nan sou nef Podcast a.
Sa a jen sot pase, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, ki gen ladan prepare Sparrell, Velado ak Shea pou epizod kap vini yo.
“Definitivman mwen kapab mete yon anpil plis tan nan avyon de gè mwen kòm byen ke fanmi mwen,” Di Ray. “Konbatan yo ki, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, lè w ap fòmasyon pou yon batay, pa gen pwoblèm konbyen lajan ou eseye yo konsantre sou Nick Shea oswa Nick ravin oswa Hannah Sparrell oswa Rafael oswa nenpòt nan konbatan nou an, ou pa ka vrèman mete 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, fanmi ou ak timoun ou yo.”
Depi nesans la nan nef byen bonè nan mwa 2012, ak eksplozyon an ki vin apre nan popilarite espò a nan nan eta a, anpil nouvo jimnaz te grenn yo leve nan dènye ane yo, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, plis pase nenpòt lòt bagay, sere-brode a, atmosfè fanmi-tankou sa te devlope nan etablisman an depi li louvri jimnastik la.
“Bagay la pi gwo mwen renmen sou jimnastik nou an, Mwen renmen ale epi yo te yon pati nan, ki gen la nan yon gwoup trè enb elèv yo ak pwofesè,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.”
Nan “Premye Gwoup” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio repitasyon a nan yon respè, élégance, pwofesyonèl, endividyèl desirable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Mwen eseye trete tout moun egal-ego,” Di Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (nan gym la), nan vire, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, si yo pa ap aji respekte pwofesè yo oswa lòt elèv yo, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Jimnastik nou atire, pou kèk rezon, moun ki yo se jis bèl moun.”
Avèk pi plis ak plis nouvo elèv ap vini nan pòt jimnastik l ', Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.
“Apre montre nan dènye (Nef XVIII Atik), lè mwen te wè Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) te bra l 'leve soti vivan ak Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Mwen te tèlman kontan pou neg sa yo,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), M 'te di' si nou ale 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.’ I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.”

Lewiston, Maine (Out 31, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) a se mma Young nan nan Bangor pwograme yo fè premye li kont Rachèl Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) se tou pwograme yo fè premye li kont Hannah Sparrell (0-0) soti nan premye klas mma nan Brunswick.
Angela Young se madanm lan nan Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.
“It’s important for me to test myself,” di Young, “se pa sèlman nan kalòj la viniSeptember 12th, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, li te plis sou andire nan obstak yo ak pouse limit mwen kòm yon konkiran nan yon fason ki pa t 'janm fè tès. Li te sou pwouve tèt mwen, antrenè m 'ak koekipye mwen pou m' te touche dwat mwen nan etap nan kalòj la.”
Ki kote nan fanm ki sot pase yo yo te rlege nan atraksyon ak kado pòsyon yo nan espò konba evènman, tankou boksè, Mma fanm pa te sèlman leve soti vivan nan sitiyasyon egal ak gason an mma, li gen, nan kèk fason, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (Ch). The promotion’s top star, epi ki pi wo li yo peye atlèt, se bantamweight chanpyon fanm li yo nan ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 kat ap fèt nan forefront de yon mouvman yo elaji opòtinite pou fanm nan nivo rejyonal.
“Mma pou fanm se pa lajman diferan pase sa li se pou gason,” deklare Young. “Li evidan, Mma se yon espò majorite gason, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Atravè sa a kan batay mwen te grappled, sparred ak batay kont mma ekip batay Young la ak yo te bay sipò inègzorableman. Pou ou kab vin youn nan premye konbatan yo ki fi soti nan Young a sètènman gen presyon li yo (osi byen ke yo te marye ak Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Mwen atann mwen fanm yo mete yo sou yon montre gwo paske nou gen yon bagay yo pwouve. Mwen mete san, swe ak dlo nan je nan fòmasyon ak ou pi bon kwè mwen an konsideran opozan m 'fè menm bagay la tou. Sa yo te di, fanm yo yo ale nan mache dèyè li ki plante poto yo nan kalòj la nef.”
Koekipyèr Tou de Young a, Kira Innocenti, osi byen gen opozan li nan “Nef XIX,” Rachèl Reinheimer, sanble yo dakò ak opinyon Young la sou kwasans lan rapid nan mma fanm.
“Mma Fanm se nan monte la,” Di Innocenti. “Chak disiplin anseye yon yon bagay fanm li pa konnen sou tèt li. Mwen te wè li bati konfyans nan tèt mwen ak anpil lòt moun. Fanm yo plis sou tapi yo, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, ak tèt mwen bay li nou an tout ak ale nan lagè jis tankou vanyan sòlda yo gason an mma Young yo fè. Nou te travay di ki reprezante jimnastik nou an. Nou pral goumen ak fyète, pasyon, epi ki gen kwen yo pi fò kap soti pou nou. Mwen kapab asire ou ke epizod fanm yo pral inoubliyab.”
“Mma Fanm se yon espò jis tankou nenpòt ki lòt,” deklare Reinheimer nan Everett, Massachusetts. “Li pa yon fim aksyon kote ewo a kouri soti nan Woods yo pandan twa jou nan tren ak yon mèt masyal atis ak Lè sa a defèt yon lame tout antye. Li pa yon tapaj ba. Li pa yon ale al kache kò tounen. Fanm sa yo se atlèt grav ki tren avèk dilijans pou ane lè l sèvi avèk fòmasyon an pi bon, ekipman ak resous ki disponib. Fanm ki konpetisyon nan espò konba depanse dè milye de èdtan nan san, swe ak dlo nan je achevman espò yo. Yo fè bèt pou touye. Anplis de sa, gen règ ak limit tan ak prekosyon pou sekirite. Lè yon moun se abitye avèk lide a nan mma fanm, Mwen li konpare l ak boksè oswa kloti, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Opozan mwen ak mwen, yo toulède yo soti nan grav, kan travay di. Nou tou de se manman ak li pran yon anpil nan detèminasyon ak kondwi fè sa a espò pandan y ap jungle travay ak timoun. Mwen t ap travay san pran souf ak ekip mwen an depi batay dènye mwen amelyore jwèt mwen nan tout aspè. Mwen se konsa rekonesan pou fòmasyon an etonan ak koekipye nan Sityodtong ki pouse m 'sa difisil. Sou Sèptanm 12, ou kapab atann yon lagè.”
Pifò moun, tou de gason ak fanm, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, fin vye granmoun ak jenn ti gason, kolye ble ak kolye blan, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, sepandan, yo mòde pa pinèz la konpetisyon.
“Mwen te prezante nan mond lan mma aprè yo te siyen pitit fi mwen moute pou klas jyu jitsu panse li ta benefisye nan li pou aspè nan defans pwòp tèt ou patisipe nan espò a,” raple Hanna Sparrell. “Mwen wè jan li tonbe nan renmen ak jwèt la, pran fòs ak konfyans, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, Lè sa a, finalman te vle ak yo eksplore lòt aspè yo nan mond lan mma. Pou ou kab vin nan jimnastik la te vin devni yon dezyèm kay pou m 'ak pitit fi mwen, patnè fòmasyon mwen, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, li nan yon egzamen sou Atletisme, osi byen ke yon egzamen sou kondwi mantal ak emosyonèl. Depi ke yo te prezante yo melanje mond lan Arts masyal mwen mete kò mwen an, kè, ak nanm nan fòmasyon, ak konpetisyon nan bout sa a se enpòtan nan m 'pou plizyè rezon, pa sèlman nan reprezante tèt mwen ak travay di mwen, men tou, yo reprezante tout travay la difisil, dedikasyon, ak ankourajman mwen te resevwa nan men zanmi m ', enstriktè, patnè fòmasyon, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, li fizikman se yon gwo antrennman, epi tou se yon fòm bon nan "terapi" nan fen yon jou petèt estrès. Mwen gen anpil fanm mwen tren ak, pa tout nan yo se planifikasyon sou batay, men benefis ki genyen nan espò a se toujou la, epi yo renmen li jis menm bagay la.”
Innocenti, tankou anpil, te vin patisipe nan espò batay kòm yon fason jwenn nan, epi rete nan, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.
“Tès tèt mwen nan yon melanje bout Arts masyal se enpòtan nan m 'nan anpil konsidere. De zan de sa, Mwen te twò gwo epi difikilte yo jwenn yon an sante, chemen ranpli. Yon jou, Mwen leve, li pran lavi pa sèl wa yo ak nan mwatye nan yon ane, pèdi swasant liv sou pwòp mwen. Mwen akeyi ki defi, plas, e yo te vle yon lòt. Arawon “Inplakabl” Lacey di m 'sou Mma Young nan epi mwen te ke yo oblije tcheke li soti. Apre kite nan pòt yo, ap eseye soti tout nan klas yo, ak satisfè fanmi an ki te fè li tèlman espesyal, Mwen te branche. Mwen te fè li yon objektif yo dwe youn nan premye konbatan yo ki fi nan ekip la batay joui pi dominan nan New England. Mwen te toujou te yon konkiran. Mwen renmen defi tèt mwen ak pouse limit ke yo te panse yo dwe enposib reyalize. K ap viv melanje fòm nan Arts masyal se difisil. Li mande plis devouman pase mwen janm imajine sa posib. Li kraze ou menm ak bati ou tounen moute nan moun nan ou se vre wi: yo. Sa a batay se yon bagay enpòtan paske mwen te gate ak yon ekip etonan bò kote m 'ki anseye pa antrenè yo ki pi motivasyon ak ankouraje. Se mwen menm ki detèmine ki fè yo fyè ak di yo mèsi avèk men mwen te leve soti vivan.”
“Melanj Martial Arts se tès la ultim nan lespri imen an sou chak nivo: fizikman, mantalman, ak emosyonèl,” di Reinheimer. “Mwen gen yon dezi boule konnen ki jan lwen mwen ka ale. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, te lavi m 'vin fwontyè-mwens. Lavi m 'sou kabann lan vin pi bon lavi mwen an kabann ak vis vèrsa nan. Li nan dezabiye lwen tout distraksyon yo nesesè ak distile lavi m 'desann nan sa ki vrèman enpòtan, nan ak soti nan bag la. Mwen santi mwen tankou li nan te ede m 'vin pi pi pre pwòp tèt ou natif natal mwen. Li nan pi bon an nan Arts masyal ak ansyen lavi modèn.”
Nan kat fanm yo goumen sou mòn lan “Nef XIX” kat, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 nan Lewiston kontan pou opòtinite a.
“Nef se yon pwomosyon solid ak yon gwo repitasyon,” di Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Mwen pa ka tann!”
“Mwen panse ke fanatik yo ka atann yon montre gwo tout bon,” sèksklama Sparrell. “Pi souvan pase pa batay fanm yo yo te pwouve yo dwe trè amizan, nou nan kou vle pwouve tèt nou merite nan espò evidans gason ki domine sa a. Sa a se premye a pou twa nan kat nan fanm yo sou kat sa a, Se konsa, mwen konnen gen a pwal yon anpil nan kè ak detèminasyon jete nan batay sa yo. Mwen konnen, pèsonèlman, Mwen trè eksite yo reprezante! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; Mwen te ap gade anpil nan konbatan yo ki mwen idolatre ak gade jiska nan espò sa a soti nan pozisyon yo nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan, gen opòtinite a kounye a dwe soti la ak yo vrèman se yon onè vre.”
“Kòm mwa septanm 12yèm rapidman apwòch, M 'ap vin pi plis eksite ak pare jwenn nan kalòj la,” di Young. “Sa a te gen byen yon vwayaj ak mwen se rekonesan pou opòtinite pou fè amatè mma premye mwen ak nef.”
“Se mwen menm ki vwèman emosyone fè premye mma mwen ak nef mwa septanm 12yèm sou,” Di Innocenti. “Mwen te travay san pran souf yo ka resevwa opòtinite sa a epi mwen menm mwen kontan ke lè a rive.”
