LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Bangor, Maine (Juli 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, gelinde gesagt. 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. Tatsächlich, 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!”

GELEGENHEITSSCHLÄGE FÜR TOP-LEICHTGEWICHTE VON MAINE

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Bangor, Maine (Juli 29, 2016) – Devin Powell genoss einen freien Abend von seinem anspruchsvollen Leben als Mixed Martial Arts Instruktor und Kämpfer.

Er war von Essen umgeben, das wahrscheinlich nicht auf seinem normalen Trainingsmenü steht. Passend zur lauten Musik und Partystimmung im Xfinity Center gab es feierliche Getränke, die Open-Air-Konzerthalle in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Irgendwie, Powell hörte sein Telefon klingeln, oder fühlte es in seiner Tasche vibrieren. Das bevorstehende Gespräch veränderte seine Pläne für den nächsten Tag erheblich.

Powell nahm eine Rückverlobung mit Jon Lemke bei „NEF Presents Dana White“ an: Auf der Suche nach einem Kampf,” gehalten werden Freitag, August 5 im Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

„Ich habe herausgefunden, dass mein guter Freund Jesse Erickson verletzt wurde,“, sagte Powell, „und sie baten mich auszufüllen. Ich sagte ‚natürlich‘. Jeder, der UFC vertritt, egal Dana White, wenn du jemals die Chance hast, vor ihnen zu kämpfen, es ist etwas, was du tun willst, wenn du in der Lage bist. Es soll schön werden, intime Umgebung.“

Powell (7-1) ist der NEF-Leichtgewichts-Champion, nachdem er den Riemen mit einem technischen Knockout von Erickson bei "NEF" gesichert hatte 22: Alle Wege führen hierher“ im April. Lemke (5-5) verlor gegen den vorherigen Champion Bruce Boyington im Kampf um diesen Gürtel.

Der Kampf findet fünf Pfund über der Leichtgewichtsgrenze bei einem Fanggewicht von . statt 160.

„Das ist eine Riesenchance,“ sagte Lemke, wer wohnt im benachbarten Brewer. "Ich bin sehr dankbar. Ich freue mich darauf, vor der wahrscheinlich einflussreichsten Person im MMA zu kämpfen.“

Ihr Kampf ist einer von acht professionellen Scharmützeln, die vor Weiß präsentiert werden, ein Eingeborener des nahegelegenen Hermon, und Kohorten Din Thomas und Matt Serra. Das Trio bereist das Land auf der Suche nach unentdeckten MMA-Talenten in einer Reality-Show, die auf Whites YouTube-Seite sowie dem abonnementbasierten Streaming-Videodienst UFC Fight Pass ausgestrahlt wird.

Keiner der Männer ist dafür bekannt, das Rampenlicht zu scheuen. Lemke stoppte Erickson bei Bellator 93 in Lewiston vor zwei Jahren. Powell steigerte seine Siegesserie mit einem Split-Decision-Triumph auf fünf Juni 17 über Tommy Marcellino auf der World Series of Fighting-Bühne in Foxwoods.

„Ich weiß, dass sie wahrscheinlich hier sind, um die Jungs im Main Event zu sehen,“, sagte Powell über White und sein Gefolge, „aber ich habe vor, eine Show zu machen, auf der sie nicht schlafen können. Mit meinem Kampfstil, sehr aggressiv und unorthodox, Ich glaube, ich werde definitiv ihre Aufmerksamkeit bekommen. Bei diesem Sport geht es vor allem darum, die richtige Gelegenheit zu bekommen und sie zu nutzen.“

Auf die Frage, ob er einen Vorteil wahrgenommen habe, weil Powell den Kampf mit einer Frist von drei Wochen aufgenommen habe, Lemke wies höflich darauf hin, dass er erst zwei Wochen zuvor mit der Vorbereitung auf Erickson begonnen hat.

Lemke verlor gegen Josh LaBerge auf Juni 10.

„Ich hatte nur ein paar zusätzliche Wochen Zeit, um mich vorzubereiten. ich habe noch trainiert, aber das ist alles. Ich war in ziemlich guter Verfassung, aber nicht in Kampfform,“, sagte Lemke. „Es ist eines dieser Dinge, bei denen sie dich fragen und du bist wie, 'Oh, einer, Ich möchte das unbedingt machen, aber.’ Es ist einfach eine zu große Gelegenheit, es nicht zu tun. Es ist nicht unbedingt ideal, aber als Kämpfer, Du suchst unbedingt diese Herausforderung, und Devin ist einer der besten Jungs im Spiel hier.“

Das hat er aus erster Hand gelernt, und in klangvoller Manier, als die beiden Kämpfer zuvor im Mai aufeinandergeprallt waren 10, 2014. Powell setzte sich nur per Choke-out durch 23 Sekunden.

Diese Kulisse war Lemkes Comeback-Kampf nach seinem abrupten Rückzug aus einem Titelmatch gegen John Ortolani acht Monate zuvor.

„Letztes Mal lief es nicht so gut. Es gab viele Ablenkungen und verschiedene Umstände für mich, die zu diesem Kampf führten. Ich musste vorher aus einem Titelkampf aussteigen, was du nie machen willst. Drei Viertel des Kampfes bestand für mich nur darin, wieder in den Käfig zu kommen,“, sagte Lemke.

„Ich bin jetzt ein ganz anderer Kämpfer," er fügte hinzu. „Ich glaube, ich habe überall Fortschritte gemacht, nicht nur mit meinen Fähigkeiten, sondern auch mit meiner Herangehensweise. Ich hatte einige Kämpfe und habe sowohl aus den Siegen als auch aus den Niederlagen gelernt. Du lernst immer. Manchmal lernt man auf die harte Tour.“

Lemke und Powell betreten jeweils zum vierten Mal in weniger als einem Jahr den Käfig. Diese Aktivität ist der Grund, warum sich keiner der Männer unwohl fühlt, eine so strenge Herausforderung nach einem verkürzten Trainingslager anzunehmen.

In Powells Fall, Kämpfen ist einfach eine natürliche Erweiterung seines Alltags als Besitzer und Head Instructor bei Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

„Ich bin dankbar für alles, was ich habe. Ich habe eine 4-jährige Tochter und sie kommt gerne in die Akademie und trainiert Jiu-Jitsu,“, sagte Powell. “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,“, sagte Powell. “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,“, sagte Lemke, 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,“, sagte Powell. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. Er ist aggressiv. 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.”

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

 

Toronto, Ontario, Kanada (Juli 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, Juli 28 in der 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 mit 5 Knockouts. The game Orozco is now 14-4-2 mit 10 KO.

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 mit 2 wins by knockout while Demendi slips to 10-2-2 (6 KO).

Highly touted heavyweight newcomer Mladen Miljas (1-0, 1 KO) battered David Vyletel (5-2, 2 KO) 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 anderen Aktion, 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. Insgesamt, 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.

New York, NY (Juli 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 August 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 & grüßen.
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. Hinzu kommt, dass, 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,", Sagte 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."

“I’ve worked very hard in the gym and I feel strong at 126 Pfund. This new weight suits me and you will see the result in the ring.
“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.
“Dieser Kampf selbst verkauft. 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 Pfund. I was only performing at 70 oder 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 am Samstag Nacht.”
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. Wir sind bereit. 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 Juli 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. Am Samstag, 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.
“Samstag 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 Samstag Nacht. 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 Samstag Nacht. 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 am Samstag Nacht.”
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 am Samstag night for a great show.”
Barry McGuigan, Frampton Manager, Ex-Weltmeister & Hall of Fame
“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, Präsident der DiBella Entertainment
“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, Executive Vice President & Hauptgeschäftsführer, Showtime Sports
“SHOWTIME has been bringing its viewers the best, most competitive fights of the year, und Samstag 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. Er ist hart, 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. Tragen.
“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 am Samstagnight and if not, watch on SHOWTIME, you will not be disappointed.”
BRETT Yormark, CEO of Brooklyn Sports & Unterhaltung
“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 am Samstag.
“Samstag 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 am Samstag Nacht.”

YOUNG’S MMA HAS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE ON AUGUST 5 IM BANGOR

Hinterlasse einen Kommentar

Bangor, Maine (Juli 28, 2016) – The dedicated delegation from Young’s MMA of Bangor usually relish their reputation as road warriors in New England Fights.

Lewiston is long established as the hub city for the organization, drawing competitors and spectators from both directions on the Maine Turnpike. Fighters and fans from the Penobscot River valley find that staying engaged for those fight cards four or five times a year requires greater commitment than most.

For only the second time in its history, the regional promotion will bring its cage to the Queen City. “NEF Presents: Dana White Lookin’ for a Fight” is slated for Friday, August 5 at Cross Insurance Center.

Junge, the gym located just a few blocks away at 127 Hammond Street, will celebrate by showcasing one of its fighters in four of the eight scheduled professional bouts. Battle-tested Ryan Sanders and relative newcomers Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey and CJ Ewer all are poised to take their best shot with the support of a raucous, partisan crowd.

“That’s the most exciting part for me, being from Brewer. I went to Brewer High School,” Lacey said. “It was definitely a huge, huge draw for me, seeing it in person. I went to the fights when NEF came to Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Juli 12, 2013) and all I could think is, 'Mann, I want to do this.’ This has been a goal of mine for a long time.”

Sanders (10-7) will battle Derrick Kennington (11-7) in a clash of wily lightweights that will be on the featured attractions on the docket.

His three stablemates each emerged victorious in their only previous pro bout. Lacey will lock up with John Santos (3-3) of Derry, N.H., in einem Federgewicht Kampf. Harvey has an appointment at featherweight. Wasserkrug, who won an amateur bout at the outdoor concert venue in Bangor, will be tested by Ruben Redman (0-1) in a welterweight scrap.

Even with numerous friends in attendance, the four men know it is the presence of UFC president White, who grew up in nearby Hermon, which could have career-changing ramifications.

“It’s a great opportunity. It’s awesome to know that someone like that is going to be in the building on fight night,” Sanders said. “But for me it’s just another fight. I don’t want to get caught up in all that. Just let it unfold.”

White and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra travel 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.

Ja, the entrepreneur’s Maine connections are well-documented. White also previously brought UFC Fight Night 47 to Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, jedoch.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,“ sagte Harvey. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Ich bin aufgeregt, denn es. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. People see that and want to train with the best guys they can,” Sanders said. “We definitely push each other. You have guys who kick your ass every day. We want the best for each other. That’s why we’re here.”

Harvey expects the numbers and commitment to grow after White’s visit. He has been training at Young’s for three years. The cage side seat at the waterfront inspired him to step up his own training regimen. It’s a built-in advantage, Harvey noted, that has belonged almost exclusively to Lewiston until now.

“That’s what gets most people started. They go and see the fights and they want to try it,“ sagte Harvey. “That’s why you see places like Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) and First Class MMA (Topsham) growing so much. The fights are right there in their backyard.”

Lacey characterizes Young’s as “a gym full of killers.”

The statistics underscore Lacey’s point. The three pros with unblemished records all won their debut in two minutes or less.

“Ryan has only gone to a decision I think one time in his career. He’s a finisher. Josh won his fight by submission in the first round. CJ is super strong,” Lacey said. “They challenge me to be the best I can be every day. They keep me focused not just in the gym but in the game of life outside the cage.”

Although he is facing an opponent with significantly greater experience, Lacey expects a helpful adrenaline rush from having so many familiar faces at his back.

“It is different. I fought I think seven times in Lewiston between amateur fights and my pro debut,"Er sagte. “This gives me a chance to be in my comfort zone. And a lot of my fans can’t make it down there. By the time you figure in the travel, the price of the tickets, maybe staying overnight, they just can’t do it.”

Harvey agreed, pointing out that it’s the initial fight for which he hasn’t needed to pack a suitcase.

“This will be the first time I’ve slept in my own bed the night before a fight. I think it’s a huge advantage,“ sagte Harvey. “Some people might think with more of your fans there that there’s more pressure, but I think it just builds you up.”

“NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight” takes place on Freitag, August 5, 2016 im Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. Tickets sind ab sofort bei www.CrossInsuranceCenter.mit or by calling the box office at 800.745.3000.
