Headlining the amateur portion of the fight card will be Josh Harvey (4-1) gbeja ni NEF MMA magbowo Lightweight Àkọlé lodi si Ryan Dibartolomeo(4-3). Laipe, Harvey wà ni alejo ti NEF àjọ-eni ati matchmaker Matt Peterson lori NEF adarọ ese.

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” ni Bangor ti Harvey mọ o le ni kan ojo iwaju ni idaraya ti MMA.

“Nigba ti NEF wá si Bangor ati Mo ti wo Ray Wood Yaworan awọn akọle, ati ki o Mo ranti u lati ile-iwe giga gídígbò, ti o je mi isejusi lati gba in lori yi,” Said Harvey. “I knew it was a true possibility to go somewhere in MMA. Lẹhin ti kọlẹẹjì, 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.”

Laipe lẹhin ti awọn iṣẹlẹ, 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.

“Mo ti a ti fẹ ikíni gan warmly ni Young ká,” Harvey recalled. “Everyone was very kind over there. Bruce (Boyington, lọwọlọwọ NEF MMA Ọjọgbọn Lightweight asiwaju) ni akọkọ eniyan lati ya mi, ko lati sọ labẹ rẹ apakan, but to get together outside of the gym and we became friends. As far as the success Young’s has had as a team, Mo wa ko maa sọ o le chalk o gbogbo soke si superior kooshi, sugbon a ti sọ ni awọn ti o dara ju ni ayika, ni o kere ni ipinle yi, o ṣee ni New England.”

Lori rẹ ọna lati lọ si Annabi ni NEF MMA magbowo Lightweight asiwaju yi ti o ti kọja June, Harvey finished all three of his NEF opponents in a total of just over three minutes. Harvey, sibẹsibẹ, keji ri ojo iwaju rẹ ni awọn idaraya ni featherweight pipin.

“Emi ko irin ni lati pari gbogbo wọn ni akọkọ yika,” Said 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). O si ti wa ni, Mo nigbagbo, ni ipo nọmba-meji, 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? Bẹẹni. The game’s gonna change when I go professional. We’ll see where I stack up there.”

Nigba ti Harvey bẹrẹ jíròrò pọju alatako fun “NEF XIX” pẹlu 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 ti gba re kẹhin merin njà ni ọna kan, ohun ìkan-ṣiṣan ti o bẹrẹ ni “NEF X” ni September 2013.

“Gbogbo rẹ njà ti o n gba ti ti nipa ipinnu,” Said Harvey. “Ni mi lokan, 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.”
