Lewiston, Maine (Kínní 12, 2015) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, pada si Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni Lewiston, Maine on April 11, 2015 pẹlu awọn oniwe-seventeenth adalu-ologun-ona (MMA) ìṣẹlẹ. Sẹyìn loni, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (1-1) yoo pade awọn pada John “Akọkọ Kíláásì” Ray (2-6) ni a “roba baramu” ni a ija àdánù ti 150-poun.
Shorey gba kẹhin ipade laarin awọn meji ni “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. Awọn “NEF XIV” ija ti a ti ni igbega bi kan feyinti baramu fun Raio ti wọn si ti pinnu lati Akobaratan kuro lati nṣiṣe lọwọ idije si idojukọ lori re ebi ati idaraya First Kíláásì MMA ni Topsham, Maine. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“Mo ti fẹyìntì lati ija kẹhin September nitori ti mo fe lati lo siwaju sii akoko pẹlu ebi mi,” 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, Mo ti ko le tan o mọlẹ. 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. Lẹhin ti sunmọ ni support lati ebi mi, Mo ti farakanra Matt Petersen ati awọn ti o baamu wa soke.”
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,” exclaimed 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, ati nitori to šẹšẹ ti ara ẹni iṣẹlẹ, 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, jije kan nikan obi bayi, yoo tun drastically mu mi game, 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, ati ki o Mo gbero lati yi pe.”
