Lewiston, Maine (Fevriye 12, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, retounen nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine sou Avril 11, 2015 ak disetyèm melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman. Earlier today, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Enkasabl 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) ap rankontre retounen nan Jan “Premye Gwoup” Ray (2-6) nan yon “matche ak kawotchou” nan yon pwa batay nan 150-liv.
Shorey te genyen reyinyon an dènye ant de la nan “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. Nan “Nef XIV” bout te monte kòm yon match pran retrèt pou Raio ki te deside nan etap lwen konpetisyon aktif yo konsantre sou fanmi li ak jimnastik Premye Gwoup mma nan TOPSHAM, Maine. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Mwen pran retrèt soti nan batay dènye mwa septanm paske mwen te vle pase plis tan ak fanmi mwen,” Di 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, Mwen pa te kapab vire l 'desann. 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. Apre jwenn sipò nan men fanmi mwen, Mwen kontakte Matt Petersen li matche nou moute.”
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,” fi 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, ak akòz dènye evènman pèsonèl, 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, ke yo te yon sèl paran kounye a, pral tou byen wo amelyore jwèt mwen, 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, ak mwen fè plan yo chanje sa.”
