Mapema leo, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) watakutana kurudi John “Hatari ya kwanza” Ray (2-6) katika “mechi ya mpira” katika mapambano ya uzito wa 150-paundi.
Shorey alishinda mkutano wa mwisho kati ya mbili katika “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 alipandishwa kama mechi yake ya kustaafu kwa Raio ambao alikuwa ameamua hatua mbali ushindani kazi kwa kuzingatia familia yake na mazoezi Hatari ya kwanza MMA katika TOPSHAM, Maine. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Mimi alistaafu kutoka mapigano Septemba iliyopita kwa sababu nilitaka kutumia muda zaidi na familia yangu,” 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, Sikuweza kugeuka chini. 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. Baada ya kupata msaada kutoka kwa familia yangu, Mimi kuwasiliana Matt Petersen na yeye kuendana sisi juu.”
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,” akasema 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, na kutokana na matukio ya hivi karibuni binafsi, 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, kuwa mzazi single sasa, pia kwa kiasi kikubwa kuboresha mchezo wangu, 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, na mimi mpango wa kubadili hali hiyo.”
