Lewiston, Maine (Аравдугаар сар 6, 2016) – Шинэ Английн тулаан (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” Бямба гарагт, Арваннэгдүгээр 19 Androscoggin банк Colisee нь.Өмнө нь өнөөдөр, NEF executives announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight women’s bout to the fight card. Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga(2-2) returns to Maine to take onBrianne Genschel (0-0) 135-кг жинтэй энэ тэмцэл нь дээр.
Borga made her NEF cage debut last month against Rachael Joyce (2-0). She traveled more than 1500 miles from Lakeland, Florida for the fight. While Borga was on the losing end of a unanimous decision to Joyce, she realizes that the most important part of her amateur career is gaining experience through taking tough fights.
“I’m not slowing down anytime soon,” said Borga, “and love to take on any challenges and get better each fight. The more experience the better! So thankful for the girls that are stepping up to fight! I’m ready to put on an amazing show.”
Brianne Genschel, while making her in-cage debut at “NEF 26,” is a longtime practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in which she holds a black belt. She is a BJJ instructor at The Foundry in Farmington, Maine. Genschel also trains with, and will represent, First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine. Like her opponent, she promises an exciting fight for the fans onАрваннэгдүгээр 19.
“I’m really looking forward to stepping into the cage for my first fight with NEF, and especially against such an established opponent,” said Genschel. “I can’t wait to represent my teams- Foundry BJJ and First Class MMA. I have been training hard for this opportunity, and promise to put on a good show and leave it all in the cage!”

Шуурхай мэдээ: Lewiston, Maine (Есдүгээр 4, 2016) – Rachael Joyce has her civil engineering degree from the University of Maine. Jessica Borga is a veterinary technician from Lakeland, Флорида.
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, тухай Бямба гариг, Есдүгээр 10.
“I’ve had one fight, Өнгөрсөн оны аравдугаар сарын. 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 кг, 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 дахин,” Borga said “It was my own fault. I lost 25 кг 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. Хийж чадахгүй, 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, , дараа нь (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 кг.
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, Гэж би хэлэв, ‘It’s now or never.’ I started training and developed really fast. My coaches said I had a knack for it.”

A former Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion, Marloes Coenen, is riding a two-fight winning streak and undefeated record under the Bellator MMA fray into her bout with Dufresne. “Rumina” began her career winning eight consecutive fights and 13 of her first 14. The 35-year-old has been competing professionally since 2000 and has been an integral part of the progression of women’s mixed martial arts, challenging some of the best that the sport has to offer.

The 25-year-old Alexis Dufresne began her career with a blazing start, earning victories in her first five scraps, all of which she ended in the first round. Born in Temecula, Калифорни мужийн., “Sneaky Zebra” has strung together an impressive resume, including three straight first round knockout wins dating back to her 2013-14 seasons and most recently two appearances for the UFC. Dufresne will be making her Bellator MMA debutИрэх баасан гаригтand hopes to get back to her winning ways when she fills in for the absent Julia Budd on short notice.
Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, шиг, for instance, if youbecome the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, буюу sue me for $25 сая. 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 my “OPEN FU” to Dana “Effing” White.
I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Тэгэхээр, I will have to settle for a written FU…and a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.
FU, Dana “Effing” White… for many, many reasons…too many forone small blog postto do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….
For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm…
Хөөе, Dana, you wanna talk about your “effing” reality show “Looking For a Fight????” I was actuallylooking for a fightwhen I watched thatold reality “shit show”when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HEmagicallybacked out at the last minute.
Одоо, you, DANA “EFFING” WHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decisionYOU 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.
Boo “effing” hoo, buddy.
Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.
Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Dana “effing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, бас) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guess “effing” what, Dana? She wanted to fight.
Уучлаарай, Dana “Effing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on an “effing” sideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish her “effing” ROADHOUSE REMAKE!
Holly wanted to go to work… but 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, анги, dignity and grace.
And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with no “effing” regrets 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, хүчтэй, 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, ямар ч байсан?
UNLIKE YOU, Dana “Effing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Тиймээ, 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.
Одоо, why don’t you open your “effing” eyes, 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 due…on both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut the “eff” up 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, аль нэг, you dome-headed dimwit.
Fighters “effing” тэмцэл, Dana. That’s what they “effing” do, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be an “effing” manager of MMA fighters yourself. Тийм ээ, 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 the “effing” paltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someone “worthy” enough 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. Yourshitty Reebok dealmade 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 ажил. It’s not. Энэ бол “effing” hard work.
Тэгэхээр, тиймээ, 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.
Өө…болон…замаар…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.
Тэгэхээр, 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 is “effing” cool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tate “a 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, хугацаа! 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 Ronda “effing” Rousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.
Тэгэхээр, 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, Dana “effing” 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 the “Zuffa Myth” while claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulatedall by your “effing” selves?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?
You’re in a different place now, Dana “effing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, шударгаар, truly “effing” know what it’s ACTUALLY like to be an “effing” fighter? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?
REALLY?
Та мэдэх 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, байна “one who fights.” And let’s be clear about one “effing” thing, Dana “effing” White, I know fighters, болон ТАare no fighter.
You are nothing like a fighter, Dana “effing” White, and you never “effing” байх болно. 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 damn “coulda,” “shoulda,” буюу “woulda” out 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 White…For 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 are “bad 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 the “eff” out 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 big “team.”
More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight Dana “effing” White’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. Одоо, 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, Dana “effing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybeshe 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, хугацаа?
Тэгэхээр, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Ноён. 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 the “eff” you’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 more “effing” questions for you Dana “effing” White…
1.) What makes you think you are really in any “effing” position 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?
Болон…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:
Ангела залуу Крис Янг эхнэр нь – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.

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, Энэ нь саад тотгор замаар бат бөх, шалгасан байна биш байсан арга нь өрсөлдөгч миний хязгаар тулж талаар илүү байсан юм. Энэ нь өөртөө нотлох гэж байсан, миний дасгалжуулагч, миний багийнхан би торон дахь алхам нь миний эрх авсан байна билээ.”
Хаана өнгөрсөн эмэгтэйчүүдийн байлдааны спортын үйл явдлын sideshow болон шинэлэг тал хэсэгт нь үлдэж байна, бокс гэх мэт, Эмэгтэйчүүдийн ММА нь зөвхөн эрэгтэй ММА тэгш байдал өсч чадахгүй байна, Энэ нь байна, зарим талаар, 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, болон түүний хамгийн өндөр цалинтай тамирчин, нь эмэгтэйчүүдийн bantamweight аварга Ronda Rousey байна (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 карт бүс нутгийн түвшинд эмэгтэйчүүдийн боломжийг өргөжүүлэх нь хөдөлгөөний тэргүүн эгнээнд байх болно.
“Эмэгтэй ММА нь эрэгтэй бол илүү байхын аргагүй өөр биш юм,” Залуу заасан. “Мэдээж хэрэг, ММА нь гол төлөв эрэгтэй спорт юм, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Энэ тэмцэл хуаран дамжуулан би grappled байна, sparred болон Young-ийн ММА тэмцэх багийн талаар хэзээ, тэд unrelentingly дэмжиж байна. Залуу нь гарч анхны эмэгтэй дайчид нэг нь байх нь мэдээж түүний дарамтыг байна (түүнчлэн Ноён гэрлэсэн байна. Залуу) 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. Бид нотлох ямар нэг зүйл байдаг учир би эмэгтэй агуу шоу дээр тавих гэж бодож байна. Би цус хийж байна, хөлс, сургалт руу нулимс, та нар сайн би тэр хийсэн нь миний өрсөлдөгч гэж үзсэн байна итгэдэг. Энэ нь хэлж байна, эмэгтэйчүүдэд NEF торонд тэдний хувьцааг тарих дараа ирэх гэж байна.”
“Эмэгтэйчүүдийн ММА спорт зүгээр л бусад шиг байна,” Everett нь Reinheimer заасан, Массачусетсийн. “Энэ баатар нь гурван хоног тулааны урлагийн мастер бэлтгэл нь ой руу ойгүй үйл ажиллагааны кино биш юм, дараа нь бүхэл бүтэн армийг ялжээ. Энэ нь бар brawl биш юм. Энэ нь эргээд модот гудамж саад хориг биш юм. Эдгээр эмэгтэйчүүд хамгийн шилдэг сургалт ашиглан жилийн турш хичээнгүйлэн сургаж ноцтой тамирчид байна, тоног төхөөрөмж, байгаа нөөц. Байлдааны спортын өрсөлдөх эмэгтэйчүүдийн цус цагийн мянган зарцуулдаг, хөлс, нулимс нь спортын төгс. Тэд золиослол хийх. Цаашилбал, дүрэм журам, цаг хугацаа хязгаар, аюулгүй ажиллагааны урьдчилан сэргийлэх арга байдаг. Хэн нэгэн эмэгтэй ММА нь санаа нь мэдэхгүй бол, Би боксын эсвэл хашаа харьцуулах, 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. Миний өрсөлдөгч, би ноцтой нь аль аль нь байна, шаргуу баазууд. Бид аль аль нь эх нь ба эвдлэх ба хүүхэд Juggling бол энэ спортыг хийх тогтоох болон диск маш их хэрэгтэй. Би бүх талаар миний тоглолтыг сайжруулахын тулд миний сүүлчийн тэмцэл оноос хойш манай багт төлөө шаргуу ажиллаж байна. Би маш шаргуу намайг түлхэж Sityodtong нь үнэхээр гайхалтай сургалт, багийнхаа тамирчин төлөө маш их талархаж байна. Есдүгээр нд 12, Хэрэв та дайн гэж бодож болно.”

On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, хуучин болон залуу, Конторын, цагаан зах, 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, Гэсэн хэдий ч, өрсөлдөөн алдаа хазуулсан байна.

It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, , дараа нь эцсийн дүндээ ММА дэлхийн бусад асуудлыг судлах хүссэн. Биеийн тамирын зааланд байх нь надад, миний охин нь хоёр дахь гэр болсон юм, Миний сургалтын түншүүд, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, Энэ athleticism нь тест юм, мөн оюун ухаан, сэтгэл санааны хөтөч нь туршилтын байдлаар.

I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, Энэ нь бие махбодийн маш их дасгал юм, мөн түүнчлэн магадгүй дарамттай өдрийн эцэст "эмчилгээ" сайн хэлбэр юм. Би бэлтгэл маш олон эмэгтэйчүүд байна, Тэд бүгд тэмцэх төлөвлөж тийм биш, Харин спортын ашиг байхгүй хэвээр байна, Тэд үүнийг зүгээр л нэг дуртай.”
