Lewiston, Maine (Febrúar 12, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, skilar til Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine á Apríl 11, 2015 með sína sautjándu blönduð Martial-Arts (MMA) atburður. Fyrr í dag, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) mun mæta aftur John “First Class” Ray (2-6) í a “gúmmí passa” á slagsmálum þyngd 150-pund.
Shorey vann síðasta fundi milli tveggja á “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” Bardaginn var kynntur sem starfslok samsvörun fyrir Raio sem hafði ákveðið að stíga út úr virkri samkeppni að einblína á fjölskyldu hans og gym First Class MMA í Topsham, Maine. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Ég lét af berjast í september síðastliðnum vegna þess að ég vildi eyða meiri tíma með fjölskyldunni,” 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, Ég gat ekki snúa það niður. 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. Eftir að fá stuðning frá fjölskyldu minni, Ég hafði samband Matt Petersen og hann passa okkur.”
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,” hrópaði 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, og vegna nýlegra persónulegum atburðum, 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, vera einn foreldri núna, mun einnig harkalegur bæta leik minn, 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, og ég ætla að breyta því.”
