Lewiston, Mejn (Februar 12, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, vraća na Androscoggin banci Colisee u Lewiston, Maine na April 11, 2015 sa svojim sedamnaestog mješovitim borilačkim-umjetnost- (MMA) događaj. Ranije danas, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Nerasprskavajuće 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) će zadovoljiti povratka Jovan “First Class” Zrak (2-6) u “gume utakmicu” na borbu težine od 150 funti.
Shorey osvojio posljednjem sastanku između dvoje u “NEF XIV” last September via first-round submission. He gained revenge for a submission loss suffered at the hands of Raio when the pair had fought as amateurs two years earlier. The “NEF XIV” bout je promoviran kao utakmicu za odlazak u penziju za Raio koji je odlučio na korak dalje od aktivnog konkurencije da se fokusira na njegovu porodicu i teretana First Class MMA u Topsham, Mejn. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Ja se povukao iz borbama u septembru prošle godine, jer sam želio provesti više vremena sa svojom porodicom,” Said Ray. “They were really supportive during my career and I owed it to them. I have found a balance with my new job at BIW. I am able to train, spend time with my family and operate my gym each day. I love MMA and never stopped training. I was not happy with the way my last fight ended and when the opportunity to compete against Derek Shorey again presented itself, Nisam mogao da ga dole. The idea to fight Derek came from a post on FB that Ben Raven made on Matt Denning’s page a few months ago. Derek seemed interested in a rubber match. Nakon dobija podršku od moje porodice, Kontaktirao sam Matt Petersen i nas je uskladiti gore.”
The two previous bouts between Shorey and Raio had been agreed to at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds. Shorey feels he will have an advantage due to the 150-pound catchweight where he will have to cut very little or even no weight at all.
“I’m excited to fight John again,” uzviknu Shorey. “There’s almost no weight to cut for a fight at 150, so I’ll be fighting him at full strength, and ultimately as the best version of myself that I’ve ever known. I’m very confident that I will be in the best shape of my life, i zbog nedavnih događaja osobne, I think I’m a little colder now than I’ve ever been. Training at Young’s MMA in Bangor as often as I can, kao samohrani roditelj sada, će također drastično poboljšati svoju igru, in every aspect of the sport. John is a really good wrestler and a lot stronger than me, but no one has ever seen what I know I’m capable of, i ja planiram to promijeniti.”
