路易斯頓, 緬因 (二月 12, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 返回到安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因州 四月 11, 2015 與第十七混合武術 (MMA) 事件. 今天早些時候，, the company announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the fight card. “防碎2.0” 德里克·肖雷 (1-1) 將滿足返回 約翰· “甲級” 射線 (2-6) 在 “橡膠比賽” 在150磅重的戰鬥.
肖雷贏得了兩人之間的最後一次會議上 “第十四NEF” 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. 該 “第十四NEF” 布特被宣傳為退休匹配RAIO誰決定一步之遙，從積極的競爭，專注於他的家庭和健身房頭等艙MMA的托普瑟姆, 緬因. Raio says that he has now found the balance in his life to return to the NEF MMA cage.
“我是從戰鬥去年九月退役，因為我想花更多的時間與我的家人,” 雷說. “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, 我不能把它下來. 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. 從我的家庭得到支持後, 我接觸馬特·彼得森和他匹配的我們。”
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,” 驚呼肖雷. “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, 而且由於近期個人事件, 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, 作為一個單親現在, 也將大大提高我的遊戲, 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, 我打算改變這種狀況。”
