LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Skryf 'n opmerking

Bangor, Maine (Julie 30, 2016) - Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, om die minste te sê. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “Redneck” Mundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. In werklikheid, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

“It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

“I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Said Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

Quebec City (Julie 30, 2016) – Ligswaargewig wêreldkampioen Adonis “Superman” Stevenson (28-1, 23 Uitklophoue) delivered a highlight reel knockout victory over Thomas “Top Dogg” Williams Jr. (20-2, 14 Uitklophoue) in the fourth-round of an exciting main event showdown on Premier Boxing Champions op Spike Vrydag night from Centre Videotron in Quebec City, Kanada.
“It was a firefight,” said Stevenson. “He put pressure on me so I decided to put pressure on him too. It was a fight with two guys who could punch and it was spectacular. It was my daughter’s birthday and I gave her a great gift.”
The defending champion Stevenson, fighting in his adopted hometown, put Williams down in round one with a straight left hand. Williams was able to recover and began to fire back in round two. Egter, Stevenson’s jab consistently sent Williams backtracking, while Williams abandoned the jab and attempted to cut the distance with power punches from difficult angles. Williams staggered the world champion several times, using an effective counter right hand while getting the best of many exchanges.
Both men were hurt in an exciting third round that saw momentum swing in each man’s favor before the bell rang to end the round. A cut opened up over the left eye of Williams in the end of the round that was tended to in his corner. Williams hit the canvas as a result of a low blow early in the fourth, but regained his footing shortly after.
The notorious power puncher Stevenson eventually landed the deciding blow of the night when he caught Williams’ chin hanging in the pocket and delivered a straight left hand that put the challenger to the floor. Die Washington, DC area-native was unable to recover, prompting referee Michael Griffin to stop the bout 2:54 into the fourth round.
Additional televised action saw rising middleweight contendersImmanuel Aleem (16-0-1, 9 Uitklophoue) en Demond Nicholson (17-1-1, 16 Uitklophoue) fight to a majority draw in their eight-round bout.
Neither fighter was able to control of the fight with Nicholson attempting to use his length and jab while Aleem tried to cut the distance and attack with short punches. Nicholson appeared to have the more effective attack in the early rounds, while Aleem began to have more success as the fight shifted to toe-to-toe action in the second half of the fight.
Die beoordelaars’ scores reflected the close nature of the fight as one judge had it 77-74 for Aleem while the other two judges had it a 76-76 trek.
The televised opener saw Eleider “Storm” Alvarez (20-0, 10 Uitklophoue) keep his perfect record intact with a unanimous decision victory over New Zealand’s Robert Berridge (27-5, 21 Uitklophoue) in a 10-round light heavyweight affair.
“I am happy with the win, but I would have liked a knockout! He was tough, but he did not hurt me at all and I thought that I hurt him. I am ready for my next challenge, which will hopefully be a world title fight.”
The top-rated contender for Stevenson’s title, Alvarez established his jab early on while attacking the body of Berridge with right hooks. Alvarez continued to control the fight from a distance as Berridge was slow to begin increasing his output before he started putting the pressure on in round five.
The southpaw Berridge was able to land occasionally on Alvarez with a looping left hand, but never put the undefeated fighter in danger. Alvarez began to have more success varying up his attack with right uppercuts and hooks that eventually left Berridge’s right eye swollen and bruised.
Alvarez took home the decision by scores of 99-90 en 98-92 twee keer.

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR TOP MAINE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Skryf 'n opmerking

Bangor, Maine (Julie 29, 2016) – Devin Powell was enjoying an evening off from his demanding life as a mixed martial arts instructor and fighter.

He was surrounded by food that probably isn’t on his normal training menu. There were celebratory beverages to fit the loud music and party atmosphere at Xfinity Center, the outdoor concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Somehow, Powell heard his phone ring, or felt it vibrate in his pocket. The impending conversation altered his day-after plans considerably.

Powell accepted a return engagement with Jon Lemke at “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight,” to be held Vrydag, Augustus 5 by Cross Insurance Centre in Bangor.

“I found out my good friend Jesse Erickson got hurt,” Powell said, “and they asked me to fill in. I said ‘of course.’ Anybody representing UFC, never mind Dana White, if you ever have a chance to fight in front of them, it’s something you want to do if you’re able. It should be a nice, intimate setting.”

Powell (7-1) is the NEF lightweight champion, having secured the strap with a technical knockout of Erickson at “NEF 22: All Roads Lead Here” in April. Lemke (5-5) lost to previous champion Bruce Boyington in a bid for that belt.

The fight will take place five pounds above the lightweight limit at a catch weight of 160.

“It’s a huge opportunity,” said Lemke, who lives in neighboring Brewer. “I’m very grateful. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of probably the most influential person in MMA.”

Their bout is one of eight professional skirmishes to be showcased in front of White, a native of nearby Hermon, and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra. The trio travels the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Neither man is known to shy away from the spotlight. Lemke stopped Erickson at Bellator 93 in Lewiston two years ago. Powell pushed his winning streak to five with a split-decision triumph Junie 17 over Tommy Marcellino on the World Series of Fighting stage at Foxwoods.

“I know they’re probably here to watch the guys in the main event,” Powell said of White and his entourage, “but I plan to put on a show that they won’t be able to sleep on. With my fighting style, very aggressive and unorthodox, I believe I definitely will get their attention. This sport is a lot about getting the right opportunity and taking advantage of it.”

When asked if he perceived any edge because Powell took the fight on three weeks’ notice, Lemke politely pointed out that he only began preparing for Erickson two weeks prior to that.

Lemke lost to Josh LaBerge op Junie 10.

“I only had a couple extra weeks to prepare. I was still training, but that’s all. I was in pretty good shape but not in fight shape,” Lemke said. “It’s one of those things where they ask you and you’re like, ‘Oh, een, I really want to do this, but.’ It’s just too big an opportunity not to. It’s not necessarily ideal, but as a fighter, absolutely you’re looking for that challenge, and Devin is one of the best guys in the game around here.”

He learned that first-hand, and in resounding fashion, when the two fighters previously clashed on May 10, 2014. Powell prevailed via choke-out in only 23 sekondes.

That setting was Lemke’s comeback fight after his abrupt withdrawal from a title match against John Ortolani eight months earlier.

“It didn’t go very well last time. There were a lot of distractions and different circumstances for me leading up to that fight. I had to pull out of a title fight before that, which you never want to do. Three-quarters of the battle for me was just getting back in the cage,” Lemke said.

“I’m a completely different fighter now,” he added. “I think I’ve progressed everywhere, not just with my skills but with the approach I take. I’ve had quite a few fights and I’ve learned from both the wins and the losses. You always learn. Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

Lemke and Powell each enter the cage for the fourth time in less than a year. That activity is the reason neither man feels uneasy about accepting such a stern challenge after an abbreviated training camp.

In Powell’s case, fighting is simply a natural extension of his everyday life as owner and head instructor at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

“I’m grateful for everything I have. I have a 4-year-old daughter and she likes to come to the academy and train jiu-jitsu,” Powell said. “I have a pretty amazing life. I only have to teach, train and fight. A lot of people don’t get more than a couple hours with their kids every night. We sacrifice a lot for this sport. People only see the 15 minutes of hell. They don’t see everything else.”

Powell is pleased to represent NEF for only the third time in his blossoming career.

“NEF is one of the biggest promotions in the country. They make superstars out of guys from Maine,” Powell said. “I fought for World Series of Fighting, and I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking them, but it was a much smaller show. NEF has a huge following, and now you see them going places like Cape Cod and Bangor, and that can only grow it even more. They do it right, and I’m glad to be able to step in there for them.”

Lemke faces the added pressure of fighting in front of not only White but his hometown fans from the Bangor area.

Many of them are not accustomed to the four-hour round trip for his encounters in Lewiston.

“A fight is still just a fight, and the next fight is the biggest fight regardless. You never know who could be there watching or what could happen as a result,” Lemke said, suggesting that he is more concerned with his opponent. “Devin is a phenomenal fighter. He has a great skill set. He’s highly touted and he has a great record to back it up. It’s definitely the challenge of a lifetime for me. He’s also a great guy outside the cage. I get along with him well. I think we respect each other.”

Powell confirmed those suspicions, although he reiterated that his objective is nothing less than another decisive victory.

“He’s a good guy. I don’t have to go to that deep, dark place. I understand that my job is to hurt someone so badly that the referee has to step in to save his life. It’s a beautiful, violent sport. I respect anyone who has the courage to get in there with the same goals as me,” Powell said. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. Hy is aggressief. He comes to fight. I like to do the same things. The first fight was short-lived. If I’m able to repeat that, I’m sure Dana White will be happy.”

Wilcox tops Orozco in Toronto

Skryf 'n opmerking

 

Toronto, Ontario, Kanada (Julie 29, 2016) – Up and coming lightweight Steven Wilcox of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada scored an impressive eight round unanimous decision over rugged Mexican Juan Orozco Thursday, Julie 28 at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto.

Topping Lee Baxter Promotions’ inaugural “Next Generation” fight card and with an excited crowd supporting him, the taller Wilcox looked to use his range from the opening bell. Orozco was able to close the gap at times during the first few rounds, landing some decent shots in close quarters. Wilcox effectively adjusted and found his range, peppering Orozco with clean punches. For the remainder of the bout, Orozco attempted to press forward but was unsuccessful as Wilcox continued to land clean shots to the body and head of his game foe en route to a unanimous decision.

Wilcox improves to 14-1-1 met 5 uitklophoue. The game Orozco is now 14-4-2 met 10 KO se.

Light heavyweight “Irish” Tim Cronin of Etobicoke, Ontario dominated Slovakia’s Kristof Demendi over six one sided rounds en route to a decision. Cronin, who is unbeaten since losing a split decision in his pro debut, dominated the fight as Demendi was never able to find his rhythm.

Cronin ups his professional ledger to 8-1-1 met 2 wins by knockout while Demendi slips to 10-2-2 (6 KO se).

Highly touted heavyweight newcomer Mladen Miljas (1-0, 1 KO) battered David Vyletel (5-2, 2 KO se) of Slovakia until the referee saved the latter from further punishment in the second stanza. Miljas, who fights out of Ontario, displayed an arsenal of skills during the impressive showing.

In ander aksie, junior middleweight Mayron Zeferino (1-0) scored a first round knockdown and overcame a late rally from Danyk Croteau (1-1) en route to a decision victory while super middleweight newcomers Augistino D’Aluisio (0-0-1) and Mike Miller (0-0-1) battled to a draw.

“We went through a lot of changes with this card and worked hard to make it happen,” said Lee Baxter. “Miljas looked fantastic and Zeferino gutted out a decision over a very determined opponent. Steven Wilcox was very sharp tonight and outpointed a very tough foe that never stopped trying. Algehele, I’m satisfied with the event and hope the fans that tuned in around the world via the webcast enjoyed it as well. We’re looking forward to bringing more exciting boxing to Ontario.”

Lee Baxter Promotions’ next card will be announced shortly.

Melson named New York Sportscene Children Foundation’s Humanitarian Honoree

Boyd formal photo.jpg

New York, NY (Julie 28, 2016) – WBC USNBC junior middleweight champion, West Point graduate and Army Reserve Officer Captain Boyd “Rainmaker” Melson has been selected as New York Sprotscene Children Foundation’s (NYSCF) Humanitarian Honoree.
He will be honored and serve as the special guest for their 2nd annual Celebrity Golf Classic and pool party Augustus 15 inCommack, NY at The Hamlet. As the honoree, Melson’s also participating in a cocktail hour, award dinner, interview sessions, photo ops and meet & greet.
A501(c)(3), the NYSCF helps to benefit and improve the lives of children and help those in need live happier and healthier. The mission of the New York Sportscene Children’s Foundation is to provide much needed support of local charities.
A recognizable figure in and out of the ring, Melson gained notoriety in the boxing world by donating 100% of his fight purses towards helping others. 16 of his purses went to Team Fight to Walk to help find the cure for Chronic Spinal Cord Injuries and the other went to a friend whose son has brain cancer. Between his fights, charity galas and donations, Melson and co-founder Christan Zaccagnino helped raise close to $400,000. He is also a well-known motivational speaker that has inspired the US Army, various athletes, at-risk youths, large corporations and students of all ages.
The NYSCF is specifically recognizing Melson for his dedication and support of Team Fight to Walk, mentoring at risk youths and excellence as an athlete.
The NYSCF’s Golf Classic will raise funds to provide for local children in need. Their 2015 event made it possible to host a poolside party for more than 150 ill, special needs and underprivileged children and their families. These children, many whom never swam in a pool before, will be shuttled in from the NYC boroughs as well as Long Island to enjoy the pool party. The funds raised last year also covered a holiday celebration for close to 1,000 children and their caregivers.
This event also supports the YES WE CARE Veteran Support Program, Family Services of Westchester Jerome Wagner Youth Residence for Boys, Evelyn Sachs Steiner Residence for Girls and a SUNY Farmingdale Alumni Association Scholarship. Op die top van dat, the NYSCF is making a donation to Team Fight to Walk, which literally brought Melson to tears upon hearing the news.
"I’ve had the blessing to be honored many times for things I’ve done in and out of the ring but this is truly unlike anything else,"Sê Melson. “When I got the call for this and was asked to be the honoree, I thought they were kidding. The original guest was Denzel Washington and the fact that they went from him to me is beyond humbling. I immediately started crying over the phone thanking them profusely. I’m looking forward to this event and owe a special thanks to both Laura Quintoni and Fran Petito, who are both part of the New York Sportscene Children’s Foundation’s leadership. I told them both that the universe keeps reminding me of my path by sending angels into my life to help me along my path. As soon as I heard about the pool party, my first question was “can I get in the pool and play with the kids.” I was met with an encouraging yes and I am looking forward to that part of the day as much as any part. FOX News will be filming and although it will not be aired live, the coverage will air nationwide at some point. I hope to meet many great families and bring smiles to their faces. My wish from this is that this experience increases my opportunities to help positively impact the lives of others."

“Nothing can compare to this opportunity. People know me in Belfast, but Leo Santa Cruz is a three-weight world champion who gives me the opportunity to become more well known.
“This fight sells itself. I respect all my opponents until I’m disrespected myself. I respect Leo because of his actions and because of the great fighter that he is.
“I’m a different animal now at 126 pond. I was only performing at 70 of 80 percent of what my capabilities were. I’m feeling strong and I’m a different fighter. This will be my best performance.
“I’m honored to be on a bill with so many great fighters. There are four fights that could probably top a bill in their own right. I’m honored to be here and I’m going to get the victory Saterdag nag.”
Mikey GARCIA
“It’s been a while since I’ve done this but I’m very excited to be back. I want to thank everyone who helped put this fight together.
“Everybody has said it all. Ons is gereed. We’re prepared and we’ve had a great training camp. Rojas has the boxing skills to make this complicated.
“I have better skills than any fighter put in front of me. This will be the beginning of the next stage of my career. The most memorable part of my career.”
ELIO ROJAS
“I’m very thankful for this opportunity. I’m really happy about being on this show. In this fight. I know I’m being brought in as an opponent, but I’m going to let the fans know that I’m not just an opponent.
“I know who Mikey Garcia is. I have all the abilities to win on Julie 30. I’ve always been a boxer who was never protected. I always prepare to win the fight and this will be no exception.”
TONY HARRISON
“I’m just excited to be back on a platform like this. I’m ready put in work. I know my opponent doesn’t speak much English, but I bet he speaks hands.
“No disrespect to Ricky Hatton, because what he’s done for his country and for Rabchenko is amazing, but I don’t care about it at all. Seeing Ricky over there fuels me even more to get the win.
“I just had a son, he’s three months old. He’s my new motivation. We’ve pushed it to the max in training camp. I’m ready to swim with the sharks. I’ve transitioned from a sprinter to a marathon runner. I’m ready to go into the later rounds.
“I’m ready to put Detroit back on the map. One thing you know about Detroit, we’re about that action. Op Saterdag, we’re coming for it.”
SERGEY RABCHENKO
“This is a very nice country and a great city for boxing. It’s my first time here and it’s very exciting. I’m going to give the fans a really good fight.
“I know my opponent is a young, strong kid fighter and he will be ready. I want him to be ready so that we can give the fans a great show.”
Paulie Malignaggi
“I hear young guys like Tony Harrison and Tevin Farmer come up here and talk, it reminds me of my young days. The gym I train in down in Miami is full of young guys hungry to break through. That’s the feeling we all used to have in the gym. It starts to rub off on you when you hang around motivated people.
“I need to have great motivation and that fire to return to the top level. I took a couple steps back after the Garcia fight and gradually stepped up. I think Gabe is another step up. He’s a hungry and motivated guy.
“I know Gabriel Bracero, not only as a fighter, but I know his spirit. We came up together in the same generation of New York fighters.
“It’s all love and respect. But this Brooklyn Belt, it looks pretty nice. This is staying here in Bensonhurst.”
GABRIEL BRACERO
“I want to thank Tommy Gallagher, my trainer. He always stood by my side and always believed in me. No matter what the critics said. It’s because of him that I’m standing here now.
“I’ve made mistakes in life. I was away from this sport for a while. Boxing was always my dream though. I stayed focused so that I can come out and do what I’m doing now. Not too many people can bounce back from a situation like that.
“Saterdag is a big fight and I’m looking forward to it. I’m really thankful that Paulie gave me this opportunity. I always followed his career and his successes. It was a dream of mine to come out here and have the same success he had. I looked up to him.
“To be here right now and to be able to fight Paulie is incredible. He’s giving me the opportunity to reach his level of success.
“I encourage everyone to come out Saterdag nag. I’m going to leave my heart in the ring. That Brooklyn Belt is beautiful and I can’t wait to have it around my waist. This is business, not personal. You should get ready to see fireworks.”
IVAN REDKACH
“I’m very thankful to be part of such a great event. I changed a lot about my training heading into this fight. I’ve trained with the great champion Leo Santa Cruz and it has me ready.
“I want to show everyone in the ring what I can do, not up on the stage with my words.”
TEVIN FARMER
“I want to thank my training staff for preparing me for battle Saterdag nag. I’m thankful for this opportunity.
“This is another chance to show the world who I am. I have about three years with no losses. I started boxing as a hobby. But when I realized how much talent I had, I started training right.
“Since I started taking this sport seriously, I’ve been taking guys out easily. Ivan Redkach will get this work. It’s going to be easy.
“I’m not about talk. A lot of people don’t know who I am, but everyone will know Saterdag nag.”
AMANDA SERRANO
“To be here with these great fighters is an amazing opportunity. I’m very honored. I’m ready to fight and successfully defend my title.
“I’m going to show all the critics and non-believers that female fighters have the talent and courage of the male fighters, and we’re here to stay. Come out Saterdag night for a great show.”
BARRY McGuigan, Frampton se Bestuurder, Voormalige wêreldkampioen & Hall of Famer
“We’re delighted to be here in Manhattan for this potential Fight of the Year. The whole team that made this fight happen has been fantastic.
“I just wanted to say that we’re thrilled that Jose Santa Cruz is back on his feet, every one of our families is affected by cancer.
“This is a clash of styles that could make it a fight of the year. We have the utmost respect for Leo Santa Cruz, but we’re here to win and we will win.”
LOU DIBELLA, President van DiBella Vermaak
“I think that this is the best card that I’ve ever been able to promote. This is the deepest boxing card from top to bottom that I’ve seen.
“Barclays Center has become one of the homes for great boxing. It is the premier venue right now for boxing in this country. The Brooklyn Boxing program is something that Barclays Center is truly committed to.
“If you’re from Brooklyn, then you want that Brooklyn Belt. It’s about carrying the mantle of being that guy from Brooklyn. That’s what both Paulie and Gabe are going to try to do.
“The main event is one of the elite fights that can be made in the sport. These are two amazing fighters. The winner won’t just be a featherweight champion; the winner will have an argument for the pound-for-pound list.”
STEPHEN Espinoza, Uitvoerende vise-president & Algemene Bestuurder, Showtime Sport
“SHOWTIME has been bringing its viewers the best, most competitive fights of the year, en Saterdag will be no exception.
“The 154-pound division is the deepest and hottest in the sport. Tony Harrison and Rabchenko are looking to make their mark and get up to the next level of the division.
“Having Mikey Garcia back is a treat. It’s a big positive for the sports of boxing. Elio Rojas is not just an opponent though. He is tough, he is hungry and I expect this to be an amazing fight as well.
“The main event is again the best versus the best. Two of the most aggressive fighters in any division. There’s nothing else to say about this fight other than that it will be all action. I think this fight could be better than Thurman vs. Dra.
“We’re proudest of all to have the best versus the best. This is what boxing should be. You should be there if you can Saterdagnight and if not, watch on SHOWTIME, you will not be disappointed.”
BRETT YORMARK, CEO van Brooklyn Sport & Vermaak
“This is arguably the strongest card from top to bottom that we’ve had in Brooklyn since we’ve hosted fight cards. This will be a great follow-up to the incredible Thurman vs. Porter fight last fight. We expect another headlining fight that could be a leading contender for Fight of the Year. We are honored to welcome these two great competitors to Brooklyn. They are two of the most exciting fighters in the sport and we wish both of you the best Saterdag.
“Saterdag se card certainly has a Brooklyn flavor to it. It begins with Bensonhurst’s Paulie Malignaggi taking on Gabriel Bracero from Sunset Park with the Brooklyn’s World Championship on the line.
“Amanda Serrano, another Brooklynite, will be the first women ever to defend her title at Barclays Center. We look forward to seeing you in the ring Saterdag nag.”

JONG'S MMA HET TUISVELDE VOORDELE OP AUGUSTUS 5 IN BANGOR

Skryf 'n opmerking

Bangor, Maine (Julie 28, 2016) – Die toegewyde afvaardiging van Young se MMA van Bangor hou gewoonlik van hul reputasie as vegkrygers in die New England Fights.

Lewiston is lank gevestig as die middestad vir die organisasie, trek deelnemers en toeskouers uit albei rigtings op die Maine Turnpike. Vegters en aanhangers uit die Penobscotriviervallei vind dat vier tot vyf keer per jaar vir daardie vegkaarte verloof is, groter toewyding verg as die meeste.

Vir die tweede keer in sy geskiedenis, die plaaslike bevordering sal sy hok na die Queen City bring. “NEF bied aan: Dana White Lookin 'for a Fight' word beplan vir Vrydag, Augustus 5 by Cross Insurance Centre.

Young se, die gimnasium is net 'n paar blokke verder geleë 127 Hammondstraat, sal vier deur een van sy vegters in vier van die agt geskeduleerde beroepswedstryde ten toon te stel. Slaggetoets Ryan Sanders en relatiewe nuwelinge Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey en CJ Ewer is almal gereed om hul beste skoot te neem met die ondersteuning van 'n skelm, partydige skare.

'Dit is die opwindendste deel vir my, afkomstig van Brewer. Ek het na Brewer High School gegaan,'Sê Lacey. 'Dit was beslis 'n reuse, groot trekking vir my, persoonlik te sien. Ek het geveg toe NEF by Darling's Waterfront Pavilion kom (Julie 12, 2013) en al wat ek kon dink, is, Die mens, Ek wil dit doen. 'Dit was al 'n lang doelwit van my.'

Sanders (10-7) sal teen Derrick Kennington veg (11-7) in 'n botsing van lelike liggewigte wat by die gewilde besienswaardighede op die dak sal wees.

Sy drie stalmate het elk gewen in hul enigste vorige pro-wedstryd. Lacey sal saam met John Santos sluit (3-3) van Derry, N.H., in 'n veergewig stryd. Harvey het 'n afspraak met veergewig. Ewer, wat 'n amateurwedstryd op die buitelugkonsertlokaal in Bangor gewen het, sal deur Ruben Redman getoets word (0-1) in 'n weltergewig afval.

Selfs met talle vriende wat bywoon, die vier mans weet dat dit die teenwoordigheid van White UFC-president is, wat in die nabygeleë Hermon grootgeword het, wat gevolge vir loopbaanveranderings kan hê.

'Dit is 'n wonderlike geleentheid. Dit is ongelooflik om te weet dat iemand soos 'n bakleiery in die gebou gaan wees,'Sê Sanders. 'Maar vir my is dit net nog 'n geveg. Ek wil nie in alles vasgevang raak nie. Laat dit net ontvou. ”

Wit en kohorte Din Thomas en Matt Serra reis die land in die strewe na onontdekte MMA-talent in 'n realiteitsprogram wat op White se YouTube-bladsy uitgesaai word, sowel as op die UFC Fight Pass-inskrywinggebaseerde gestroomde videodiens.

Ja, die Maine-verbindings van die entrepreneur is goed gedokumenteer. White het ook voorheen UFC Fight Night gebring 47 aan Bangor. Young se talentpoel vermoed dat die jongste byeenkoms meer is as net 'n geval dat White 'n been na sy tuisbasis gooi, egter.

'Ek is dankbaar dat hy dit hierheen gebring het. Ek is seker hy het in sy vrye tyd film uit NEF gekyk. Hy moet iets sien in NEF waarvan hy hou om dit te doen,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Dit maak my nie meer senuweeagtig nie. Ek is opgewonde, want dit. Ek gaan probeer om dit alles opsy te sit en op die taak te fokus. ”

Onder toesig van mede-eienaars Chris Young en Ernie Fitch, Ongeveer vyf of ses professionele persone en 'n dosyn amateurs fiets deur die gimnasium in enige gegewe oefenkamp.

'Vier van ons veg, dit wys net dat ons die beste gimnasium in die omgewing is. Drie van ons is onoorwonne. Ons produseer studs. Mense sien dit en wil oefen met die beste ouens wat hulle kan,'Sê Sanders. 'Ons druk mekaar beslis. Julle het ouens wat elke dag u gat skop. Ons wil die beste vir mekaar hê. Daarom is ons hier. ”

Harvey verwag dat die getalle en toewyding sal groei ná White se besoek. Hy oefen al drie jaar by Young's. Die hok se sysitplek by die waterkant het hom geïnspireer om sy eie oefenprogram te verhoog. Dit is 'n ingeboude voordeel, Harvey het opgemerk, wat tot nou toe byna uitsluitlik aan Lewiston behoort het.

'Dit is wat die meeste mense aan die gang kry. Hulle gaan kyk na die gevegte en wil dit probeer,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Daarom sien jy plekke soos Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) en Eerste klas MMA (Topsham) groei so baie. Die gevegte is daar in hul agterplaas. ”

Lacey karakteriseer Young's as ''n gimnasium vol moordenaars'.

Die statistiek beklemtoon die punt van Lacey. Die drie prosesse met ongeplakte rekords het almal hul debuut gewen oor twee minute of minder.

“Ryan het net een keer in sy loopbaan besluit wat ek dink. Hy is 'n afwerking. Josh het sy stryd gewen in die eerste ronde. CJ is super sterk,'Sê Lacey. 'Hulle daag my uit om die beste te wees wat ek elke dag kan wees. Hulle hou my gefokus, nie net in die gimnasium nie, maar ook in die spel buite die hok. ”

Alhoewel hy 'n teenstander met aansienlik groter ervaring in die gesig staar, Lacey verwag dat 'n nuttige adrenalienstormloop soveel bekende gesigte agterop sal hê.

'Dit is anders. Ek het in Lewiston sewe keer baklei tussen amateurgevegte en my prodebuut,"Het hy gesê. 'Dit gee my die kans om in my gemaksone te wees. En baie van my aanhangers kan dit nie daar benut nie. Teen die tyd dat u op reis is, die prys van die kaartjies, miskien oornag, hulle kan dit net nie doen nie. '

Harvey het ingestem, en daarop gewys dat dit die aanvanklike geveg is waarvoor hy nie nodig gehad het om 'n tas te pak nie.

'Dit is die eerste keer dat ek die aand voor 'n geveg in my eie bed geslaap het. Ek dink dit is 'n groot voordeel,'Het Harvey gesê. 'Party mense dink miskien dat daar meer druk by jou aanhangers is, maar ek dink dit bou jou net op. ”

“NEF bied Dana White aan: Op soek na 'n geveg ”vind plaas Vrydag, Augustus 5, 2016 by Cross Insurance Centre in Bangor, Maine. Kaartjies is te koop nou op www.CrossInsuranceCenter.met of deur die loket te skakel by 800.745.3000.
