“Kuv so los ntawm sib ntaus sib tua kawg lub Cuaj Hli Ntuj vim hais tias kuv xav siv sij hawm ntxiv nrog kuv tsev neeg,” Hais 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, Kuv yuav tsis tig nws cia. 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. Tom qab tau txais kev pab los ntawm kuv tsev neeg, Kuv hu Matt Petersen thiab nws sib phim peb.”
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,” qw hais tias 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, thiab vim tsis ntev los no tus kheej cov txheej xwm, 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, ua ib tug niam tsev tam sim no, kuj yuav ruaj txhim kho kuv kev ua si, 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, thiab kuv npaj yuav hloov ntawd.”
