FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD
Lewiston, Mejn (Siječanj 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.
Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.
“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, znate?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”
Arnold, koji se okreće 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.
Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Subota, Veljača 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Subota."
Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian u 1 minute, 54 sekundi.
“Glenn’s a tough dude. On je ratnik. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Imam puno poštovanja prema njemu. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”
Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” nagrada. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.
"Da, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”
A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.
Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.
“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”
In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.
“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Nažalost, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”
Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.
He fell in love with professional wrestling, MMA, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” rekao je.
While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.
“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, kada sam bio 18 ili 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, koji se okreće 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”
Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.
Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.
“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.
“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Dcnning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”
When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.
“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”
The opening bell Veljača 3 je postavljen za 7 poslije podne. Ulaznice su dostupne na www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Štitovi su napredovali do 5-0 s dva nokauta u vjerojatno posljednjoj borbi u super srednjoj kategoriji. Dvadesetdvogodišnjakinja je sada usmjerena prema srednjoj kategoriji gdje će na kraju ciljati na neporaženu i jedinstvenu svjetsku prvakinju u srednjoj kategoriji Christinu Hammer, koji je bio u krugu prstena Petak u Veroni.
“Moram spustiti i vidjeti kako se osjećam (prvo),”Rekao je Shields. “Mislim da bih mogao zaraditi 160 jednostavan, Bit ću veća i jača od bilo koje djevojke.
“Hammer samo želi dosegnuti. Mislim da se prilično boji da budem iskrena. Više se brine za mene nego ja za nju. Udarit ću Hammera u dupe. Ljudi misle da je Hammer vještiji od mene pa jedva čekam da joj pokažem da nije. "
Čekić, od kojeg se očekuje da se bori na zajedničkom nastupu na sljedećoj kartici Shieldsa, intervjuirao je analitičar SHOWTIME Steve Farhood i izrazio uzbuđenje zbog čega je postala američka. debi i na kraju se suočiti s američkim prvakom.
“Izvrsna je kombinacija ja i ona na istoj kartici,”Rekao je Hammer. “Jedva čekam pokazati navijačima tko je Christina Hammer. To će biti najbolja borba ikad. Bit će to promjena u ženskom boksu. Naše je vrijeme da zablistamo.
“Dugogodišnji sam svjetski prvak i imam više iskustva. Imam duži domet, Ja sam visok, Imam dobar rad nogu i bolju tehniku od nje. Osjećam energiju, i jedva čekam da se borim protiv nje. "
Bivši svjetski prvak Nelson (17-1-3, 2 Kos) postao 173. neporaženi borac koji je pretrpio svoj prvi profesionalni gubitak ShoBox: Nova generacija.
“Nisam sretan jer nisam pobijedio, ali osim toga mislio sam da sam pogubio prilično dobro,”Rekao je 41-godišnji Nelson. “Vodio sam je bolju borbu nego što je očekivala.
“Nema nepoštovanja prema Claressi, ona nema veliku moć. Ima veliku brzinu i obuzima vas s puno udaraca. Moj pokret ju je izbacio kao da sam znao da hoće, ali znajući da je prvakinja, Morao sam samo još malo pogurati. "
U ShoBox co-obilježje, Jesse Hernandez tijesno je pobijedio Ernesta Garzu podijeljenom odlukom u akcijskoj borbi koja je postignuta 95-94 Hernandez, 95-93 Garza, 97-93 Hernandez.
Nakon bliske prve runde, Garza je Hernandeza spustio rukom lijeve ruke do nosa u završnim trenucima druge runde. Hernandez se oporavio, i dok su srednji krugovi sadržavali strahovitu akciju naprijed-natrag, Hernandez je naizgled imao problema hodajući Garzom, činilo se da tko ima udarce nema stvarne snage. Garza (9-3, 5 Kos) pronašao drugi vjetar i činilo se da je pokupio osmu i devetu rundu dok Hernandez nije zaurlao u izvrsnom 10th i posljednji krug koji se pojavio 178 Ukupno punches.

“Mislim da je to trebala biti jednoglasna odluka,”Rekao je Hernandez. “Uvijek sam bio spor starter i osjećam se kao da sam izgubio prva dva kola, posebno s nokdaunom. Ali pobjeđivao sam gotovo u svakom krugu nakon toga, Možda sam izgubio tri runde.
“Nisam potpuno zadovoljan svojim nastupom. Moram malo bolje kontrolirati udaljenost i domet. Moram se vratiti u teretanu i poraditi na tim stvarima. Prije dolaska ljeta nadam se da ću se još jednom potući i nadam se da je na SHOWTIME.
“Dajem Garzi veliku zaslugu što je ušao u ring i srušio me. Visio je tamo za 10 runde čak i nakon što sam ga uhvatio s nekoliko dobrih hitaca. Uspio je izdržati te hice, ali sve to rečeno, Još uvijek mislim da je to trebala biti jednoglasna odluka. "
Garza se usprotivio tom osjećaju.
“Mislio sam da je to lažna odluka,”Rekao je Garza. “Ne razumijem kartu posljednjeg suca. Bila sam zadovoljna svime što sam učinila. Dobro sam izvršio i učinio sve što sam trebao da pobijedim u borbi.
“Zaista sam razočaran ishodom. Osjećao sam da sam pobijedio. Meni, Pobijedio sam u većini rundi i srušio sam ga. Znam da nokautiranje protivnika obično vodi do pobjede u borbi. "
Neporaženi udarni udarac iz Uzbekistana Shohjahon Ergashev donio je Sonnyju Fredricksonu prvi poraz u karijeri s impresivnim trećim rundama TKO u uvodnoj borbi. ShoBox televizijska emisija.

“Sudija ga je spasio,Rekao je Ergašev. “Da mu je dopustio da više stoji na nogama, nokautirao bih ga. Nije mogao podnijeti moju moć.
“U ovoj fazi moje karijere, U najboljoj sam formi u svom životu i najbolje što sam osjećala. Sad je moje vrijeme, pogotovo jer treniram s Rickom (Phillips) a (Javan) Šećer (Hill Steward). To je ono što dovodi do sve moje snage nokauta.
“Spremna sam za sve što slijedi. Spremna sam za još borbi u SAD-u, i želim biti sve izloženiji kako bih pokazao svoje vještine. Spreman sam boriti se protiv bilo koga u Americi. "
