Para divulgación inmediata: Lewiston, Maine (Agosto 21, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XIX mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XIX: Regreso a casa,” o sábado, Setembro 12, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. Headlining the amateur portion of the fight card will be Josh Harvey (4-1) defender o título NEF MMA Afeccionado Lightweight contra Ryan Dibartolomeo(4-3). Recentemente, Harvey foi o invitado de co-propietario e matchmaker NEF Matt Peterson no NEF Podcast.
Harvey was introduced to the mats early in life. He started wrestling in junior high school and continued through his high school years. He began boxing at the age of 15 and trained in the ring for the next seven years. It was not until he attended “NEF VIII: Nations Collide” en Bangor que Harvey entender que podería ter un futuro no deporte do MMA.
“Cando NEF chegou Bangor e eu asistir Ray Madeira capturar o título, e eu me lembraba del de alta escola de wrestling, que foi a miña suxestión para entrar nesa,” di Harvey. “I knew it was a true possibility to go somewhere in MMA. Tras a facultade, there’s nowhere for wrestlers to go. MMA, that’s the outlet. That’s why you see wrestlers dominating in MMA all the way to the top.”
Logo tras o evento, then Young’s MMA wrestling coach Mark Heathcote reached out to Harvey through Facebook to invite him to train with the team. Harvey quickly found a home at the Bangor gym founded by Chris Young. He joined in on the massive success the team had already found in the MMA cages of New England.
“Estaba recibidos calor polo Young,” Harvey recalled. “Everyone was very kind over there. Bruce (Boyington, actual NEF MMA Profesional campión dos lixeiros) foi a primeira persoa a me levar, non dicir baixo a súa asa, but to get together outside of the gym and we became friends. As far as the success Young’s has had as a team, Non vou dicir que pode risco-lo todo para adestramento superiores, pero temos a mellor volta, polo menos neste estado, posiblemente en New England.”
No seu camiño para reclamar o Amateur Championship Leve NEF MMA en xuño pasado, Harvey finished all three of his NEF opponents in a total of just over three minutes. Harvey, con todo, ve o seu futuro o deporte na división peso pena.
“Non adestrar para remata-los todos na primeira rolda,” di Harvey. “That’s just how it wound up. Maybe you’ll see me go the distance as the competition gets thicker. That’s why I love this fight with Ryan (Dibartolomeo). El é, Creo, número de dous clasificados, so this is a good way to find out where I lay in that level. I’m not a 55er. As far as I’m concerned, I’m a 45er that’s fighting at 55. Best 45er? Amateur in New England? Si. The game’s gonna change when I go professional. We’ll see where I stack up there.”
Cando Harvey comezou a discutir posibles adversarios para “NEF XIX” con casamenteiros NEF, he was very clear that he wanted the toughest opponent they could find for him. If he wanted tough, he will get just that in Ryan Dibartolomeo. Dibartolomeo is out of John Fain’s Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, Nova Hampshire. After dropping his first three, Dibartolomeo gañou súas últimas catro loitas nunha fileira, unha raia impresionante que comezou o “NEF X” en setembro 2013.
“Todas as súas loitas que venceu por decisión ser,” di Harvey. “Na miña cabeza, he let the judges win those fights for him. Fights aren’t won by judges. Fights are won by fighters. My prediction is it’s gonna be a finish. I’m gonna go out there, kill or be killed. He’s either gonna finish me or I’m gonna finish him. That’s how it’s gonna happen.”
