Lewiston, Maine (February 12, 2015) - Dagaaladu New England (NEF), America ayaa tiro-mid dhiirrigelinta dagaalka gobolka, laabtay Colisee Androscoggin Bank ee Lewiston, On Maine April 11, 2015 iyadoo toddoba isku dhafan-martial-farshaxanka ay (MMA) dhacdo. Goor hore oo maanta, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) la kulmi doonaa laabtay John “Darajada koowaad” Ray (2-6) in a “ciyaarta caag” at miisaanka dagaalka ee 150-pounds a.
Shorey badisay kulankii ugu danbeeyay ee ka dhexeeya labada at “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” xumad u dallacsiiyey kulan ka fariistay ah ee Raio kuwaas oo go'aansaday in ay iska ka qeyb qaataan in ay diiradda saaraan qoyskiisa iyo gym First Class MMA in Topsham, Maine. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Waxaan ka dagaalamaya la soo dhaafay September fariistay sababtoo ah waxaan doonayay inaan waqti badan la qaataan qoyskeyga,” 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, Waxaan ma uu noqon karto. 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. Ka dib markii taageero ka helay ehelkayga helitaanka, Waxaan la xiriiray Matt Petersen oo isagu waa naga kulan-up.”
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,” khaawi 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, oo ay sabab u tahay dhacdooyinkii ugu dambeeyay shakhsi, 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, waalidka hal hadda, si xoog leh ayaa sidoo kale kor u qaadi doontaa kulankeygii, 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, oo aan qorshaynayaa in aan ka bedelo.”
