FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA, FINDING FIGHTS IS THE CHALLENGE FOR FEMALE MMA ATHLETES

 

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Setembre 4, 2016) – Rachael Joyce has her civil engineering degree from the University of Maine. Jessica Borga is a veterinary technician from Lakeland, Florida.

Read those one-line biographies of the two women and they probably do not fit whatever is your personal profile of a mixed-martial-artist. And perhaps that presumption, and maybe a lingering societal bias against female fighters, is the reason Joyce and Borga have struggled mightily to find opponents in their corners of the country.

Each woman will end what is almost a one-year hiatus from the cage when Joyce (1-0) welcomes Borga (2-1) to Maine in a bantamweight bout at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains.” New England Fights returns to its hub venue, Androscoggin Bank Colisee, a Dissabte, Setembre 10.

“I’ve had one fight, l'octubre passat. I’ve found it really hard to find fights. It’s just tough. Maine doesn’t have the population density for it. It’s just hard to find that pool of fighters,” Joyce said. “Early in your career you want to build that experience close to home. It’s the best thing for your whole team, given the commitment that is involved.”

Joyce, who lives in the Penobscot County village of Veazie, splits her training time between Bangor, Portland and Boston.

The competitive grass is no greener for Borga, who is known to her fans as “The Black Widow” and is coached by Ross Kellin.

“My coach has scheduled fights for me that have fallen through. I was supposed to fight eight times this year, and this will be my first one.

Borga was beaten badly in her previous bout, a November 2015 clash against Caitlin Sammons for which she weighed in at 126.5 lliura, just above the flyweight limit.

She said that women feel added pressure to make drastic weight cuts due to the lack of available fight opportunities, and in her case it was especially dangerous.

“I learned that I will never fight at 125 de nou,” Borga said “It was my own fault. I lost 25 lliura in two weeks. I was sick in camp, and I fought sick.”

Before the episode was over, Borga was hospitalized twice with strep throat, a kidney infection and a bladder infection.

“I do believe (the weight cut) was part of it,” she said. “You’re putting that strain on your body and your mind. My mental game struggled with what I had to put myself through. I think it’s harder for women, also. I won’t ever do that again. I learned that it’s better to withdraw than to take a loss.”

Borga has experienced no such issues in this camp. She said her energy level is way up and that she can train harder for longer periods of time.

She also is eager to visit from the Sunshine State, an eagerness that isn’t lost on her opponent.

“When an opponent is flying up from Florida, that’s exciting,” Joyce said. “It shows that she’s really committed to it. It is hard to find opponents who are as committed as you are.”

Both women are BJJ blue belts. Joyce has trained in the discipline for more than two years.

It is an extension of her childhood, when she played three varsity sports in each year of high school. She joked that she strongly considered a fourth.

“I was always the girl who tried to convince my parents to let me play football,” Joyce said. “They would not hear any of it. I’m sure they’re thrilled that their 20-something-year-old daughter is now a fighter. No, they’re supportive, but now it’s my decision.”

Joyce never tried individual sports before the combat realm, but she quickly developed into a fan of women’s MMA as it exploded in popularity at the UFC level.

“Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey were coming up, i després (UFC president) Dana White had his famous line that ‘there will never be women in UFC,” Joyce said. “I saw what they were doing and I said, ‘I can do that. I’m going to do that.’”

Now the women wait for a spike in female participation that has not appeared to follow the success of those international role models.

Joyce said she received invitations to fight in New Jersey earlier this year but that those, also, would have required an uncomfortable cut to a same-day weigh-in of 125 or even 115 lliura.

So she retreated into a game of train-and-wait. Thanks to the like-minded, equally fight-challenged Borga, the wait is almost over.

“I’ve always loved MMA, always loved fighting. I guess I was known for that as a kid. Everybody who knows me always pushed me to get into this,” Borga said. “I tried eight years ago and found out right away that I was pregnant, so that put a stop to it. When my son turned five, Vaig dir, ‘It’s now or never.’ I started training and developed really fast. My coaches said I had a knack for it.”

La campana d'obertura de Setembre 10 s'estableix per 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes four professional boxing matches, six pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps. Les butlletes costen des $25 i estan disponibles a www.TheColisee.com o trucant a la taquilla a Colisee 207.783.2009, extension 525.

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffing” White!

wtf

Per: Rich Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, com, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, o sue me for $25 milió. Sometimes I may take things like that as a sign you might not want me to really find out who you are and what you do behind closed doors to screw hard working people over.

This week, a certain individual who won’t even let me follow him in Twitter (https://twitter.com/danawhite) pissed me off to the point where I could only think of one thing to do. Because I’m officially blacklisted in every possible way by the UFC brass, and have even had restraining orders placed against my directly contacting the Fertittas and ANY UFC fighter, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call myOPEN FUto DanaEffing” White.

I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Així, I will have to settle for a written FUand a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.

FU, DanaEffing” White… for many, many reasonstoo many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….

For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm

Ei, Dana, you wanna talk about youreffingreality showLooking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old realityshit show when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.

Ara, you, DANAEFFINGWHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? And now you act like someone pissed in your Wheaties because you have two upset wins at UFC 196 to work around and figure out how to make sense of somehow.

Booeffinghoo, buddy.

Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.

Do you wanna be aneffing” Promotor, Danaeffing” White???

Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Danaeffing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, massa) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guesseffingwhat, Dana? She wanted to fight.

Ho sentim, DanaEffing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on aneffingsideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish hereffingROADHOUSE REMAKE!

Holly wanted to go to workbut unfortunately she has to work for a boss who has no idea what it’s like to step into HER office and handle HER daily workload with such tenacity, classe, dignity and grace.

And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with noeffingregrets whatsoever for putting her absolute all into that fight and just plain getting caught in her one area of weakness in a battle where she likely would have won a three-round fight. Maybe if YOU were a fighter, Dana, you might get that whole concept. Maybe losing in this case only makes her better, més fort, and more durable as a career mixed martial artist. Who gives a damn if it makes her less marketable in your eyes? What do you really know, de totes maneres?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Sí, she lost, but damn, she was absolutely correct about it being a challenge. I think the fight will go down as one of the greatest battles in female MMA history.

Ara, why don’t you open youreffingeyes, Dana, watch the fight again, and quit bitching about what should have happened in that cage you never fought in yourself.

Be grateful you have a champion you just paid $92,000 in fight pay (before bonuses) to take your organization’s belt from the girl you WANTED TO WIN (and paid $500,000 just to be there). It may not be what you expected, but the anxiety you feel about it is what you DESERVE to feel for being such a douchebag to the fighters who built the UFC.

My biggest questions on this subject for Dana are: Why are you such a biased, crooked asshole who can’t bother to give Miesha the time of day FOR ALL HER HARD WORK? Why can’t you give credit where it is dueon both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut theeffup about what you think Holly or her management should have or could have waited for?

It’s not your place to look back with 20/20 hindsight and act like Holly and her manager should have gone all Nostradamus on this fight when you obviously didn’t see this shit coming, qualsevol dels dos, you dome-headed dimwit.

Fighters “effing” lluita, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Sí, that was many moons ago, but how could you forget?

Fighters don’t sit on their asses on corporate jets and stand at podiums in front of the press all day to earn theeffingpaltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someoneworthyenough in your eyes to step up and fight them.

Some fighters need to feed their kids. All of them need to pay their bills and for everything else involved with training camps, daily living expenses, travel and whatever costs medical insurance doesn’t cover when they have to address nagging injuries. Your shitty Reebok deal made it virtually impossible to get any other outside sponsors to help pay for anything like that stuff for many fighters, Dana.

Welcome to selling out and forgetting where you came from, Dana. You used to care more about fighters. Now you act like fighting in a cage is just like doing any other 9-5 treball. It’s not. Són les “effinghard work.

Així, si, Holly chose to fight instead of waiting for Rousey to be ready for the rematch. And you think she needs your opinion now that everything didn’t work out as planned for you both?

FU, Dana.

She hurts a lot worse than you, and I can guaran-effing-tee that.

Ai…i…a propòsit…fighters are way more responsible for the growth and success of the UFC/Zuffa organization than you ever have been. And that’s real talk, you rich bitch with a stick up your ass because you were never good enough in your life to ever have your own official fight.

Així, get over the God complex and learn to respect ALL of your fighters, not just the ones you want to see win because you might think you can work with them better or you think they will move the organization in a better direction. Respect the effort, the sacrifice and the pain ALL your fighters go through each and every day to get where they get. That belt you put on Miesha’s waist was EARNED, and don’t you ever think it iseffingcool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tatea mistake.

It rings hollow, especially when I would consider that handing you a microphone to talk about MMA at all was THE greatest mistake the sport ever made, període! Anyone who would try to knock a former champion down a peg that way in his own organization does not deserve to be recognized as that organization’s president.

You have no clue what it’s really like to fight, and your criticism of Holly Holm tells me you can never possibly understand the mindset that led her to take the Tate fight and not wait an idle year for RondaeffingRousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.

Així, FU Dana White for treating your former champ like she’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to control her own career without you butting your stupid, bald head into it. Holly’s fine without your advice, and she trusts her manager, which might be something you’re not familiar with, but for other people it is actually a reality of doing business with legitimate people.

 

FU, Dana for being a piss-poor ambassador for the sport, disrespecting fighters who bleed (and sometimes suffer lifelong injuries) for you and the sport, and totally underestimating and failing to grasp what it really takes to actually be a professional fighter who actually competes against other fighters

Do you remember the days when you had to settle for being a lowly boxercise instructor because your boxing trainer Boston slapped you too hard in the ear once? You never had a single competitive fight in your life, Danaeffing” White, and that’s a DOCUMENTED FACT!

Do you ever even look back at those days before the silver-spoon-fed Fertittas helped you claw your greedy, selfish, egotistical ass into the position of OFFICIAL UFC MOUTHPIECE?

Do you remember those hairy days when you blew through $40 million of Fertitta funds to perpetrate theZuffa Mythwhile claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulated all by youreffingselves? As if not a single FIGHTER nor any other industry professional who pioneered MMA before you dipped your greedy little paws into it had anything to do with it?

Your Mom remembers thosecoulda been a contender” dia, Dana..when you thought you might be able to have an actual fight with another human being. Your own mother remembers even though you and one of your sleazy friends tried to silence her, BASH HER ONLINE, and even blacklist her BOOK, massa.

Do you remember the days when even Floyd Mayweather, Jr. thought you were cool, back when your daily driver was aneffingHonda, Dana? Floyd Remembers. He knew you long before you could afford to blow a normal person’s yearly pay on a single hand of poker.

You’re in a different place now, Danaeffing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, honestament, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffing” lluitador? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

Ja saps what A FIGHTER is, don’t you, Dana? A fighter is a man or woman who has the courage to willingly step into unarmed combat against another actual man or woman instead of just criticizing up and down the guys and girls who do have the guts to actually stand across from another human being while knowing and internalizing that the accepted goal is to physically destroy each other.

A fighter, in more simple terms, és “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, Danaeffing” White, I know fighters, i YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, Danaeffing” White, and you nevereffing” serà. You are too weak, both physically and mentally. Until we see you go through a six-week training camp and then get into the cage against someone and kick his ass, we shouldn’t have to listen to one damncoulda,” “shoulda,” o “wouldaout of your cornfed mouth about what you think of any particular fighter’s performance or decision making process. Those people have the guts to do what you will NEVER do yourself, and you ought to respect that.

FU Dana WhiteFor not recognizing Real Fighters Like Miesha Tate and Nate Diaz who keep at it no matter what and NEVER seem to earn your ULTIMATE RESPECT….

Nate Diaz stepped up to fight Conor McGregor for a reason. He had nothing to lose, and he wasn’t intimidated one bit. He famoulsy went on television with Fox Sports 1 on a split screen with Conor before that welterweight fight and quipped that his nemesis had already been choked out before, “by two lames.Diaz also had the perfect instinct to add humourously that McGregor’s choke losses happened, “like a week ago.

Diaz beat Conor in the shit-talk game long before he ever slapped him down and slipped that choke around his neck in the cage. The media created by that freakshow fight might have stopped the unchecked rise of your big, bold, six-headed dragon champion, but it created a new monster at the same time. And he’s a Reebok-hating, scowling, swearing, Stockton-slapping Mother-F$#king BEAST who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about what he does or says.

You might think Diaz and his attitude arebad for business,” but I think his victory was the best thing that could ever happen to all you smug punks running the UFC. It just proves once and for all that you do not control the MMA universe.

Nate Diaz went without respect and credit for being an MMA pioneer and a good UFC soldier for far too long. The bitterness brewed and boiled within him, and I loved every second of him letting it pour out in post-fight interviews after he choked the shit out of Conor until the Irish bloke tapped theeffout and left Dana White drooling in a stupor at the thought of having to congratulate a man who’s become more of a mortal enemy than a member of the bigteam.

More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight DanaeffingWhite’s flamboyant fire with even more bravado and brash talk of their own. They can always say, “I learned it by watching you, Baldfather!”

As for Miesha Tate, she deserves true respect and admiration for being champ now after picking herself off the mat twice in the face of grueling losses to Rousey. Kudos to Tate for continuing her career and relentlessly focusing on getting by that Rousey armbar once and for all.

Though Miesha never did solve that Rousey submission dilemma, trying at all costs to get another crack at the belt paid dividends at UFC 196. Her never quit attitude led her to an opportunity of a lifetime, and she capitalized on it. Ara, Dana, you actually have to pay this young lady what most of her fans would say she was worth a long time ago.

And now you simply have to treat Tate with a bit of reverence and appreciation for once in your ungrateful life, Danaeffing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybe she touched a nerve when she called you out in the past for being the true clueless and disrespectful prick you really are. She was right, and you were wrong about how great she really is at fighting. Then again, weren’t you also WRONG about women fighting in the cage, període?

Així, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Sr. White? Then step aside and let the people who DO wanna be fighters go to battle for you so you can ride around the world on your jet and act like you know what theeffyou’re talking about when you stand in front of a microphone to describe the sport’s true athletes and what they do to make a living in mixed martial arts.

The line from Dana that most stands out to me as comblete BS in this whole debacle is this one:

“He’s an old boxing guy who thinks he’s smart and he isn’t,” White said of Fresquez [Holm’s Manager]. “I feel bad for Holly because I don’t know if she really knows what she lost.”

I have only two moreeffingquestions for you Danaeffing” White…

1.) What makes you think you are really in anyeffingposition to EVER know or understand what Holly Holm lost the other night? Aside from a few bad poker hands and tons of respect, the only thing you ever lost is your mind.

2.) Doesn’t your backhanded quote about Holm’s manager describe your own shitty character a whole lot better than that of Mr. Fresquez?

I…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:

DONES GOVERNEN LA GÀBIA MMA A NEF XIX a Lewiston

Lewiston, Maine (Agost 31, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà la seva dinovena mixtes d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment, “NEF XIX,” en dissabte, Setembre 12, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) de MMA de Young a Bangor està programat per fer el seu debut contra Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-0) També està programat per fer el seu debut contra Hannah Sparrell (0-0) de primera classe de MMA a Braunschweig.

 

Angela jove és l'esposa de 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,” va dir Young, “no només en la gàbia arribatSetembre 12, 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, que era més sobre perdurable a través dels obstacles i empènyer els meus límits com un competidor d'una manera que no s'havia provat. Es tractava de demostrar a mi mateix, meus entrenadors i els meus companys que m'han guanyat el meu dret a intervenir en la gàbia.”

 

Quan en el passat les dones han estat relegades a les porcions de fira i de la novetat dels esdeveniments d'esports de combat, com la boxa, MMA de la dona no només ha augmentat fins al mateix estatus amb MMA dels homes, Té, en alguns aspectes, 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 (UFC). The promotion’s top star, i el seu més alt atleta pagat, és campió de pes gall de les seves dones Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 targeta estarà a l'avantguarda d'un moviment per ampliar les oportunitats de les dones en l'àmbit regional.

 

“MMA per a les dones no és enormement diferent del que és per als homes,” declarat jove. “Òbviament, MMA és un esport predominantment masculí, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. A través d'aquest camp de lluita que he torejat, van enfrontar i van lluitar amb l'equip de lluita de MMA de la jove i han estat implacablement suport. Sent una de les primeres dones combatents de Young certament té els seus pressions (a més d'estar casada amb el senyor. Jove) 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. Espero que les dones posen en un gran espectacle perquè nosaltres tenim alguna cosa de demostrar. He posat la sang, suor i llàgrimes en formació i és millor creure que estic assumint els meus oponents fet el mateix. Havent dit això, les dones vindran després de plantar la seva participació en la gàbia NEF.”

 

El company de dos jove, Kira Innocenti, així té el seu oponent en “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, semblen estar d'acord amb les opinions de joves en el ràpid creixement de MMA de la dona.

 

“MMA de les dones està en augment,” Said Innocenti. “Cada disciplina ensenya a una dona alguna cosa que ella no sap res d'ella. He vist a fomentar la confiança en mi mateix i molts altres. Els més dones en les estores, la millor. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, i jo per donar-ho tot i anar a la guerra igual que els guerrers en MMA de Young fer. Hem treballat dur per a representar al nostre gimnàs. Lluitarem amb orgull, passió, i amb les cantonades més forts que mira cap a fora per a nosaltres. Els puc assegurar que els combats de les dones seran inoblidables.”

 

“MMA femení és un esport com qualsevol altre,” declarat Reinheimer d'Everett, Massachusetts. “No és una pel·lícula d'acció on l'heroi s'esgota al bosc durant tres dies per entrenar amb un mestre d'arts marcials i després derrota a un exèrcit sencer. No és una baralla de bar. No és un carreró emboscada volta. Aquestes dones són atletes seriosos que entrenen amb diligència per anys amb la millor formació, equips i recursos disponibles. Les dones que competeixen en esports de combat gasten milers d'hores de la sang, suor i llàgrimes perfeccionar el seu esport. Fan sacrificis. A més, hi ha regles i terminis i mesures de seguretat. Quan algú no està familiaritzat amb la idea de MMA de la dona, Jo ho comparo amb la boxa o l'esgrima, 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. El meu oponent i jo som de greus, campaments de treballadors. Els dos som mares i es necessita molta determinació i unitat per fer aquest esport mentre feia malabars treball i els nens. He estat treballant sense descans amb el meu equip des de la darrera baralla per millorar el meu joc en tots els aspectes. Estic molt agraït per la formació increïble i companys d'equip en Sityodtong que m'empeny tan dur. Al setembre 12, vostè pot esperar una guerra.”

 

La majoria dels individus, tant homes com dones, 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, vells i joves, coll blau i de coll blanc, 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, però, són picats per l'insecte la competència.

 

“Em van presentar al món de MMA després de signar la meva filla a classes de Jiu Jitsu pensant que seria beneficiós per a ella per l'aspecte de defensa personal involucrat en l'esport,” va recordar Hanna Sparrell. “Vaig veure com ella es va enamorar del joc, guanyant força i confiança, 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, i en última instància volgut explorar els altres aspectes del món de MMA. Estar al gimnàs s'ha convertit en una segona llar per a mi i la meva filla, meus companys d'entrenament, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, és una prova d'atletisme, així com una prova de la unitat mental i emocional. Des que va ser introduït en el món d'arts marcials mixtes he posat el meu cos, cor, i l'ànima en l'entrenament, i competir en aquesta baralla és important per a mi per moltes raons, no només per representar a mi mateix i el meu treball dur, sinó també per representar tot el treball dur, dedicació, i l'alè que he rebut dels meus amics, instructors, companys d'entrenament, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, és físicament un gran entrenament, i és també una bona forma de "teràpia" al final d'un dia estressant, possiblement,. Tinc moltes dones que entreno amb, no tots ells estan planejant en la lluita, però els beneficis d'aquest esport segueixen aquí, i els encanta el mateix.”

 

Innocenti, com molts, es va involucrar en l'esport de la boxa com una manera de posar-se en, i romandre en, 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.

 

“Prova de mi mateix en una baralla d'arts marcials mixtes és important per a mi en molts aspectes. Fa dos anys, Jo estava amb sobrepès i lluitant per trobar un sa, ruta satisfactòria. Un dia, Em vaig despertar i vaig prendre la vida per les regnes i en mig any, perdre seixanta lliures pel meu compte. Vaig donar la benvinguda a aquest desafiament, aconseguit, i volia una altra. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey em va parlar de MMA de Young i em vaig veure obligat a comprovar-. Després de passar a través de les portes, provar totes les classes, i conèixer a la família que ho va fer tan especial, Em vaig enganxar. Ho vaig fer un objectiu de ser una de les primeres dones combatents en l'equip de lluita possiblement més dominant a Nova Anglaterra. Sempre he estat un competidor. Com m'agrada desafiar a mi mateix i empenyent els límits que es creu que sigui impossible d'aconseguir. Viure l'estil de vida d'arts marcials mixtes és dura. Es requereix més dedicació del que mai vaig imaginar possible. Li trenca i vostè construeix una còpia de seguretat en la persona que realment ets. Aquesta baralla és important perquè se m'ha fet malbé amb un equip increïble al meu costat que s'ensenya pels entrenadors més motivadores i encoratjadors. Estic decidit a fer que se sentin orgullosos i els dono les gràcies amb què es va aixecar la mà.”

 

“Arts Marcials Mixtes és la prova definitiva de l'esperit humà en tots els nivells: físicament, mentalment, i emocionalment,” va dir Reinheimer. “Tinc un desig ardent de saber fins on puc anar. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, la meva vida s'ha convertit-límit inferior. La meva vida al tatami ha millorat la meva vida del matalàs i viceversa. Ha despullat de totes les distraccions innecessàries i es destil·la la meva vida al que realment importa, dins i fora de l'anell de. Sento que m'ha ajudat a arribar a ser molt més a prop del meu jo autèntic. És la millor de les antigues arts marcials i la vida moderna.”

 

De les quatre dones que lluiten en la “NEF XIX” targeta, 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 a Lewiston estan emocionats per l'oportunitat.

 

“NEF és una promoció sòlid amb una gran reputació,” va dir Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. No puc esperar!”

 

“Crec que els fans poden esperar un gran espectacle de fet,” -va exclamar Sparrell. “Més sovint que no lluites de les dones han demostrat ser molt entretingut, que, per descomptat, volem demostrar que som dignes en aquest esport prominent dominat pels homes. Aquest és el debut de tres de cada quatre de les dones en aquesta targeta, així que sé que serà un gran cor i determinació trobat a aquestes baralles. Ho sé, personalment, Estic molt emocionat de representar! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; He observat que molts dels combatents idolatro i buscar fins a aquest esport des de les grades del Androscoggin Banc Coliseu, tenint l'oportunitat de ara ser-hi amb ells realment és un veritable honor.”

 

“Com 12 de setembre se s'acosta ràpidament, Estic cada vegada més emocionat i llest per entrar a la gàbia,” va dir Young. “Això ha estat tot un viatge i estic agraït per l'oportunitat de fer el meu debut aficionat MMA amb NEF.”

 

“Estic molt emocionada de fer el meu debut en MMA amb NEF el 12 de setembre,” Said Innocenti. “He treballat incansablement per aconseguir aquesta oportunitat i estic emocionat de que ha arribat el moment.”

Campió del món en dos temps, boxejadora Amanda Serrano explosions entrenador de Ronda Rousey, i fa desafiament

Serrano with the WBO title
Campió del món en dos temps, Amanda Serrano (24-1-1, 18 Nocauts) de Puerto Rico, i el seu entrenador / manager, Jordan Maldonado considera molt irrespectuós per a la comunitat de la boxa, les observacions formulades per Edmond Tarverdyan, entrenador del campió del món de UFC, Ronda Rousey en www.mmafighting.com.
“Jo sé que ella pot fer-ho,” Tarverdyan dir MMA Fighting, “Jo sé que ella pot guanyar el títol mundial de boxa. Ronda pals amb campions mundials de boxa que colpegen manera més dura que Cyborg,”, Tarverdyan també va afegir que, “Ronda mai ha perdut un partit al gimnàs. Una ronda. Amb els campions del món de boxa”.
“Definitivament l'entrenador de Rousey no té cap coneixement sobre l'esport de la boxa. Ella és un lluitador molt bo en el Octàgon, i realment la felicito per tot el que ha fet. Els seus oponents no poden boxejar i és fàcil per veure bé, però quan s'enfronta a un boxejador d'alta qualitat amb poder de pegada com jo, creieu-me, les coses canviaran. En un ring de boxa, el llenç serà la seva zona de confort”.
Sobre la lluita de Rousey dissabte passat, on va derrotar Bethe Correia en 34 segon, Serrano va dir, “Com un punt de vista de la boxa, semblava un lluitador aficionat novell, llançant cops molt amples sense cordination. He sentit que Cyborg no està disposat a baixar a la divisió de pes lleuger per lluitar Ronda, però puc anar fins 135, i podem resoldre un combat de boxa, així que pot demostrar el seu entrenador equivocat. Una vegada vaig anar a la divisió de pes lleuger, i va viatjar a Argentina per a una baralla de títol mundial. Al final, els resultats va ser que em vaig convertir en la primera boxeadora costarricense mai Port a capturat un títol mundial en dues divisions de pes”.
Manager i entrenador de Serrano, Jordan Maldonado ha assenyalat que “no ens desafiem altres estils de lluita. Representem la boxa i volem aconseguir una mica de respecte. Estem a la seva disposició per a qualsevol combat que poden voler o un combat de boxa, així que podem mostrar Edmond Tarverdyan l'equivocat que està a punt de boxa”.
A l'agost 15, 2014, Serrano va viatjar a Argentina per fer front a campió del món de la OMB pes lleuger Maria 'Tily’ Maderna, que en aquest moment, va tenir tres defenses reeixides del títol, però no podia manejar l'agressivitat del colpejador d'energia de Puerto Rico, qui va acabar la baralla en el sisè assalt per la via del nocaut.
Amb aquesta victòria, Serrano es va convertir en la primera boxejadora boricua a guanyar títols mundials en dues divisions (130-135).
Primer regnat del títol de Serrano va arribar al setembre 2011 quan va noquejar a Kimberly Connor en la primera ronda per convertir-se en el campió del món de la FIB en la divisió súper ploma.
