Ozugbo tọhapụ: Lewiston, Maine (August 21, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na itoolu mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XIX: HOMECOMING,” na satọde, September 12, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée na Lewiston, Maine. Headlining the amateur portion of the fight card will be Josh Harvey (4-1) ịgbachitere NEF Emmanuel amu amu Kedu otu m ga Mbụ megide Ryan Dibartolomeo(4-3). Na nso nso, Harvey bụ ọbịa nke NEF ngalaba-nwe na matchmaker Matt Peterson na 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 nke Asatọ: Nations ikukota” na Bangor na Harvey ghọtara na ọ nwere ike a ga-eme n'ọdịnihu na egwuregwu nke Emmanuel.
“Mgbe NEF wee Bangor na m na-ele Ray Osisi weghara aha, na m na-echeta ya akwụkwọ n'ụlọ akwụkwọ sekọndrị mgba, na bụ m cue na-na a,” kwuru Harvey. “I knew it was a true possibility to go somewhere in MMA. Mgbe mahadum, there’s nowhere for wrestlers to go. Emmanuel, that’s the outlet. That’s why you see wrestlers dominating in MMA all the way to the top.”
N'oge na-adịghị mgbe ihe omume, 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.
“M na-kwara nnọọ obi ụtọ na-na na-eto eto si,” Harvey recalled. “Everyone was very kind over there. Bruce (Boyington, ugbu a NEF Emmanuel Ọkachamara Kedu otu m ga onye mmeri) bụ onye mbụ na-m, na-agaghị ekwu n'okpuru nku ya, but to get together outside of the gym and we became friends. As far as the success Young’s has had as a team, M agbarapụ-asị na ị nwere ike nzu ya niile ruo elu ịnye ọzụzọ, ma anyị nwetara ihe kasị mma gburugburu, dịkarịa ala na steeti a, ikekwe na New England.”
On ụzọ ya na-azọrọ na ndị NEF Emmanuel amu amu Kedu otu m ga Asọmpi Onye Mmeri a gara aga June, Harvey finished all three of his NEF opponents in a total of just over three minutes. Harvey, Otú ọ dị, na-ahụ ya ga-eme n'ọdịnihu na egwuregwu na featherweight nkewa.
“Adịghị m ịzụ rụchaa ha niile na mbụ gburugburu,” kwuru 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). Ọ bụ ya bụ, Ekwenyere m, họọrọ ọtụtụ ndị na-abụọ, 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? Ee. The game’s gonna change when I go professional. We’ll see where I stack up there.”
Mgbe Harvey malitere na-ekwu banyere ikike na-emegide maka “NEF XIX” na NEF matchmakers, 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, New Hampshire. After dropping his first three, Dibartolomeo meriwo ikpeazụ ya anọ ịlụ ọgụ na esepu, otu nnukwu streak na malitere na “NEF X” na September 2013.
“Ya nile ọgụ na ọ na-merie ndidi site mkpebi,” kwuru Harvey. “Na uche m, 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.”
