Trahan is the definition of veteran. He has competed on the regional mixed-martial-arts scene since 2009. Bulan lalu, Trahan made his debut in the NEF MMA cage, defeating Matt Denning (3-4) melalui putaran pertama pengajuan. It put an end to a five-fight skid that Trahan had been on. He will look to make it two in a row on November 19 against Lacey.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A SHOT AT THE GOLD, JACKSON AND VELADO TAKE MMA CAREERS TO A NEW LEVEL AT NEF 25

Tinggalkan komentar

 

Oleh: Kalle Oakes

Humility is the undertone for any conversation with Jimmy Jackson about his mixed martial arts career. It was a humbling experience that twisted Rafael Velado’s arm into the world of combat sports in the first place.

One of the men will depart Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston wielding a source of pride – the New England Fights amateur lightweight championship belt – after their clash at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” this Hari Sabtu, Bulan September 10.

Mention the idea of his earning a title shot in the hexagon and Jackson (3-2) almost can’t withhold a laugh.

“It’s a big opportunity for someone like me,” Jackson said. “I never thought I would be fighting for a title. I’ve had a ton of teammates come up to me and say, ‘You deserve this! Way to go!’ I just never thought of myself as that top-tier fighter. I’ve always been the guy kind of behind the scenes.”

Easy enough for the Bangor fighter to blend in, considering that he trains at Young’s MMA with the likes of Aaron “Relentless” Lacey, “The” Ryan Sanders, and Josh “Hook On” Harvey.

Fighting for the belt vacated by stablemate Harvey isn’t an endeavor that would have entered Jackson’s mind back in 2012, when he accepted a fight in Vermont on a relative lark. He won via submission, with a choke, di 96 detik.

“My training started out as me and a few other guys messing around in a basement,” Jackson said. “My first fight was spur of the moment. I won and it sort of got the adrenaline going, seperti, ‘I can do this. I did pretty good.’”

Through a co-worker, he connected up with Young’s MMA.

After a learning curve that included back-to-back losses in 2013, Jackson steadily improved and defeated two consecutive opponents to earn his title opportunity.

“It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s truly a family. These are guys who truly stand by each other, in hard times, bad times, in and out of the gym,” Jackson said of wearing Young’s colors. “But on the flip side, everybody’s watching you, expecting a certain amount of entertainment from you. I want to perform at such a level that people are excited to watch me fight.”

While most fighters go through the drudgery of training in order to bask in the glory of fight night, Jackson contends that it’s the training he loves most. And entering the cage, he claims, is not about him.

“Fighting, untuk saya, is just what I can do to show everybody what my coaches have accomplished,” Jackson said. “They sacrifice so much to give us fighters the recognition and they get very little recognition in return. The only reason I get in the cage is to represent them.”

Jackson gravitated to MMA with minimal experience in combat sports. Velado, of Norridgewock, brought a decade of jiu-jitsu and a black belt to the table.

That journey had less glamorous beginnings, akan tetapi.

“In July 2005, I was playing basketball and a guy on my own team, if you can believe it, punched me in the face. He took exception to something and he messed me up pretty good,” Velado said. “From watching UFC, I thought I knew what to do to defend myself, and I pulled him down with an arm bar. Pathetically, but I pulled him down.”

Velado called it a reality check, one that led him to enroll in jiu-jitsu classes taught by Aaron Blake in Boothbay Harbor.

“I think all guys think they will be able to defend themselves in a situation, and most of those guys are wrong,” Velado said.

In more than three years of tournament competition, Velado said he fought more than 50 times and lost only three matches.

He grew restless and sought a new challenge. It led him to John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham. Velado was primed for his debut, but a sparring session with heavyweight teammate Nick Gulliver led to a torn MCL in his knee.

“That took about six to eight months before I fully recovered,” Velado said. “I dropped in on John again in April 2015, and we got a plan together. He got me in there with a lot of good wrestler types, including himself. He let me train with Marcus Davis and some other guys to expand my skill set.”

Velado has won three times in NEF, capped by a split decision over Mike Peitersen of Young’s.

“You’re in for a war. Young’s guys, they’re great. They’re all respectful. They train like savages,” Velado said. “Look who he’s training against…Those guys could fight anywhere in the United States and do well. You can’t not get better training against guys like that. You can’t not be a stud.”

Jackson, who said that MMA has lowered his stress level while reminding him that there is nothing else in life he can’t handle, hinted that he is the underdog on paper.

“He went three rounds with Mike Pietersen, and Mike is a tough dude. I know he’s a black belt in jits,” Jackson said. “I’m taking a realistic approach. I’m more focused on what I need to do and can’t worry about what he’s going to do. I don’t think he’s going to show me anything that I can’t handle.”

The question, Velado said, is whether or not Jackson’s modesty suggests any level of uncertainty.

“The difference between us is that I know I have jiu-jitsu in my tool box. He doesn’t have anything like that in his tool box that I know of,” Velado said. “He’s going to see what level he’s at in this fight. He’s going to find a way to get past me, or he’s going to take a step back and say is this something I really want to be doing? He definitely has to have confidence if he wants to beat me.”

The opening bell on this Hari Sabtu, Bulan September 10 ditetapkan untuk 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps. Tiket mulai $25 dan tersedia di www.TheColisee.com atau dengan menelepon box office Colisee di 207.783.2009, perpanjangan 525.

Tinggalkan komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Agustus 26, 2016) Perkelahian -New Inggris (NEF) today announced the addition of a professional featherweight mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout to the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Aaron “Tanpa belas kasihan” Lacey (2-0) telah menandatangani kontrak dengan wajah Cory Percobaan (0-0) pada batas bulu dari 145-pound.

 

Lacey, the former NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Champion, recently signed a multi-fight developmental deal with the fight promotion. He amassed an amateur record of 6-1 prior to turning professional. Since entering the pro ranks, Lacey is undefeated. His pro debut saw him submit veteran Derek Shorey (3-7) in the first round last April. Earlier this month, Lacey waged, dan memenangkan, a war with John Santos (3-4) before UFC President Dana White in Bangor at the “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” taping. Many observers agree that Lacey, a product of Young’s MMA, is but a few victories away from fighting permanently in front of White.

 

“I’m very happy to be signing with NEF,” said Lacey. “It’s a big step forward in my career and it shows that they have the utmost confidence in my ability! My last fight was an absolute war, but I was fortunate enough to get out of it without any serious injuries. If I’m healthy, I’m fighting–it’s my passion! I’m anxious to welcome Cory to the pro ranks. He has a dangerous skill set that has to be acknowledged and respected. Itu dikatakan, so do I! I like to be the guy who comes in and puts on a fight that fans don’t forget and that is exactly what I will do Bulan September 10.”

 

Cory Trial makes his professional debut after a memorable amateur career with NEF. Pada bulan Juni 2015, Trial scored the fastest knockout in NEF history when he rocked Corey Hinkley (2-4) a mere seven-seconds into the first round. In his final amateur performance, the 41-year-old Trial defeated Angelo Rizzitello (0-1) via split decision this past spring. He is a member of the tough, gritty team of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based out of Benton, Maine.

 

“I wanna thank NEF for giving me the opportunity to take the next step in my career,” kata Percobaan. “My coach and I have been talking and it’s time. We’ve been putting the work in and I’m ready to take the next step. This fight will really tell me where I’m at. Aaron is a well rounded fighter that likes to push the pace and I’ll be right there looking to do the same! Jangan sampai ketinggalan – itu akan menjadi kembang api!”

LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 30, 2016) - Jarod “Menit Terakhir” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, to say the least. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “leher merah” Mundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. Faktanya, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

“It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

“I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Kata Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR TOP MAINE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 29, 2016) – Devin Powell was enjoying an evening off from his demanding life as a mixed martial arts instructor and fighter.

He was surrounded by food that probably isn’t on his normal training menu. There were celebratory beverages to fit the loud music and party atmosphere at Xfinity Center, the outdoor concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Somehow, Powell heard his phone ring, or felt it vibrate in his pocket. The impending conversation altered his day-after plans considerably.

Powell accepted a return engagement with Jon Lemke at “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight,” to be held Hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

“I found out my good friend Jesse Erickson got hurt,” Powell said, “and they asked me to fill in. I said ‘of course.’ Anybody representing UFC, never mind Dana White, if you ever have a chance to fight in front of them, it’s something you want to do if you’re able. It should be a nice, intimate setting.”

Powell (7-1) is the NEF lightweight champion, having secured the strap with a technical knockout of Erickson at “NEF 22: All Roads Lead Here” in April. Lemke (5-5) lost to previous champion Bruce Boyington in a bid for that belt.

The fight will take place five pounds above the lightweight limit at a catch weight of 160.

“It’s a huge opportunity,” said Lemke, who lives in neighboring Brewer. “I’m very grateful. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of probably the most influential person in MMA.”

Their bout is one of eight professional skirmishes to be showcased in front of White, a native of nearby Hermon, and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra. The trio travels the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Neither man is known to shy away from the spotlight. Lemke stopped Erickson at Bellator 93 in Lewiston two years ago. Powell pushed his winning streak to five with a split-decision triumph Bulan Juni 17 over Tommy Marcellino on the World Series of Fighting stage at Foxwoods.

“I know they’re probably here to watch the guys in the main event,” Powell said of White and his entourage, “but I plan to put on a show that they won’t be able to sleep on. With my fighting style, very aggressive and unorthodox, I believe I definitely will get their attention. This sport is a lot about getting the right opportunity and taking advantage of it.”

When asked if he perceived any edge because Powell took the fight on three weeks’ notice, Lemke politely pointed out that he only began preparing for Erickson two weeks prior to that.

Lemke lost to Josh LaBerge pada tanggal Bulan Juni 10.

“I only had a couple extra weeks to prepare. I was still training, but that’s all. I was in pretty good shape but not in fight shape,” Lemke said. “It’s one of those things where they ask you and you’re like, ‘Oh, satu, I really want to do this, but.’ It’s just too big an opportunity not to. It’s not necessarily ideal, but as a fighter, absolutely you’re looking for that challenge, and Devin is one of the best guys in the game around here.”

He learned that first-hand, and in resounding fashion, when the two fighters previously clashed on May 10, 2014. Powell prevailed via choke-out in only 23 detik.

That setting was Lemke’s comeback fight after his abrupt withdrawal from a title match against John Ortolani eight months earlier.

“It didn’t go very well last time. There were a lot of distractions and different circumstances for me leading up to that fight. I had to pull out of a title fight before that, which you never want to do. Three-quarters of the battle for me was just getting back in the cage,” Lemke said.

“I’m a completely different fighter now," dia menambahkan. “I think I’ve progressed everywhere, not just with my skills but with the approach I take. I’ve had quite a few fights and I’ve learned from both the wins and the losses. You always learn. Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

Lemke and Powell each enter the cage for the fourth time in less than a year. That activity is the reason neither man feels uneasy about accepting such a stern challenge after an abbreviated training camp.

In Powell’s case, fighting is simply a natural extension of his everyday life as owner and head instructor at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

“I’m grateful for everything I have. I have a 4-year-old daughter and she likes to come to the academy and train jiu-jitsu,” Powell said. “I have a pretty amazing life. I only have to teach, train and fight. A lot of people don’t get more than a couple hours with their kids every night. We sacrifice a lot for this sport. People only see the 15 minutes of hell. They don’t see everything else.”

Powell is pleased to represent NEF for only the third time in his blossoming career.

“NEF is one of the biggest promotions in the country. They make superstars out of guys from Maine,” Powell said. “I fought for World Series of Fighting, and I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking them, but it was a much smaller show. NEF has a huge following, and now you see them going places like Cape Cod and Bangor, and that can only grow it even more. They do it right, and I’m glad to be able to step in there for them.”

Lemke faces the added pressure of fighting in front of not only White but his hometown fans from the Bangor area.

Many of them are not accustomed to the four-hour round trip for his encounters in Lewiston.

“A fight is still just a fight, and the next fight is the biggest fight regardless. You never know who could be there watching or what could happen as a result,” Lemke said, suggesting that he is more concerned with his opponent. “Devin is a phenomenal fighter. He has a great skill set. He’s highly touted and he has a great record to back it up. It’s definitely the challenge of a lifetime for me. He’s also a great guy outside the cage. I get along with him well. I think we respect each other.”

Powell confirmed those suspicions, although he reiterated that his objective is nothing less than another decisive victory.

“He’s a good guy. I don’t have to go to that deep, dark place. I understand that my job is to hurt someone so badly that the referee has to step in to save his life. It’s a beautiful, violent sport. I respect anyone who has the courage to get in there with the same goals as me,” Powell said. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. Dia agresif. He comes to fight. I like to do the same things. The first fight was short-lived. If I’m able to repeat that, I’m sure Dana White will be happy.”

MMA MUDA MEMILIKI KEUNGGULAN BIDANG RUMAH PADA AGUSTUS 5 DI BANGOR

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 28, 2016) – Delegasi berdedikasi dari Young’s MMA of Bangor biasanya menikmati reputasi mereka sebagai pejuang jalanan di New England Fights.

Lewiston telah lama ditetapkan sebagai kota pusat organisasi, menarik para pesaing dan penonton dari kedua arah di Maine Turnpike. Pejuang dan penggemar dari lembah Penobscot River menemukan bahwa tetap bertunangan untuk kartu pertarungan itu empat atau lima kali setahun membutuhkan komitmen yang lebih besar daripada kebanyakan orang..

Untuk kedua kalinya dalam sejarahnya, promosi regional akan membawa kandangnya ke Queen City. “Hadiah NEF: Dana White Lookin ’for a Fight” dijadwalkan untuk hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 di Cross Insurance Center.

Muda, gym terletak hanya beberapa blok jauhnya 127 Hammond Street, akan merayakannya dengan menampilkan salah satu pejuangnya dalam empat dari delapan pertandingan profesional yang dijadwalkan. Ryan Sanders yang teruji pertempuran dan pendatang baru Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey dan CJ Ewer semuanya siap untuk mengambil bidikan terbaik mereka dengan dukungan yang parau, kerumunan partisan.

“Itu bagian yang paling menarik bagi saya, berasal dari Brewer. Saya bersekolah di Brewer High School,Lacey berkata. “Itu pasti sangat besar, hasil imbang yang sangat besar bagi saya, melihatnya secara langsung. Saya pergi ke perkelahian ketika NEF datang ke Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Bulan Juli 12, 2013) dan yang bisa kupikirkan hanyalah, 'Pria, Saya ingin melakukan ini. 'Ini telah menjadi tujuan saya sejak lama. ”

Sanders (10-7) akan melawan Derrick Kennington (11-7) dalam bentrokan kelas ringan yang akan menjadi atraksi unggulan di map.

Ketiga stablemate-nya masing-masing muncul sebagai pemenang dalam satu-satunya pertarungan pro sebelumnya. Lacey akan mengunci diri dengan John Santos (3-3) dari Derry, N.H., dalam pertarungan kelas bulu. Harvey ada janji di kelas bulu. Guci, yang memenangkan pertarungan amatir di tempat konser luar ruangan di Bangor, akan diuji oleh Ruben Redman (0-1) dalam memo kelas welter.

Bahkan dengan banyak teman yang hadir, keempat orang itu tahu itu adalah kehadiran presiden UFC White, yang tumbuh di dekat Hermon, yang dapat memiliki konsekuensi yang mengubah karier.

“Ini kesempatan yang bagus. Sungguh luar biasa mengetahui bahwa seseorang seperti itu akan berada di gedung pada malam pertarungan,Kata Sanders. “Tapi bagi saya itu hanya pertarungan lain. Saya tidak ingin terjebak dalam semua itu. Biarkan saja itu terungkap. ”

White dan rekannya Din Thomas dan Matt Serra melakukan perjalanan keliling negeri untuk mengejar bakat MMA yang belum ditemukan dalam reality show yang disiarkan di halaman YouTube White serta layanan video streaming berbasis langganan UFC Fight Pass.

Iya Nih, koneksi pengusaha Maine didokumentasikan dengan baik. White juga sebelumnya membawakan UFC Fight Night 47 ke Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, akan tetapi.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,” Harvey said. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Saya senang untuk itu. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. Orang-orang melihatnya dan ingin berlatih dengan orang-orang terbaik yang mereka bisa,Kata Sanders. “Kami pasti saling mendorong. Anda memiliki orang-orang yang menendang pantat Anda setiap hari. Kami menginginkan yang terbaik untuk satu sama lain. Itu sebabnya kami ada di sini. "

Harvey mengharapkan jumlah dan komitmen untuk tumbuh setelah kunjungan White. Dia telah berlatih di Young selama tiga tahun. Kursi samping kandang di tepi pantai menginspirasinya untuk meningkatkan gaya latihannya sendiri. Itu adalah keunggulan yang tertanam, Harvey mencatat, yang hampir secara eksklusif dimiliki oleh Lewiston sampai sekarang.

“Itulah yang membuat kebanyakan orang memulai. Mereka pergi dan melihat perkelahian dan mereka ingin mencobanya,” Harvey said. “Itulah mengapa Anda melihat tempat-tempat seperti Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) dan MMA Kelas Satu (Topsham) tumbuh begitu banyak. Pertarungan ada di halaman belakang mereka. "

Lacey mencirikan Young sebagai "gym yang penuh dengan pembunuh."

Statistik menggarisbawahi poin Lacey. Tiga pemain profesional dengan rekor tak bercacat semuanya memenangkan debut mereka dalam dua menit atau kurang.

“Ryan hanya mengambil keputusan yang saya pikir sekali dalam karirnya. Dia seorang finisher. Josh memenangkan pertarungannya dengan kuncian di babak pertama. CJ sangat kuat,Lacey berkata. “Mereka menantang saya untuk menjadi yang terbaik setiap hari. Mereka membuat saya tetap fokus tidak hanya di gym tetapi juga dalam permainan kehidupan di luar kandang. ”

Meskipun dia menghadapi lawan dengan pengalaman yang jauh lebih besar, Lacey mengharapkan adrenalin yang membantu karena memiliki begitu banyak wajah yang dikenal di belakangnya.

“Ini berbeda. Saya bertarung, saya pikir tujuh kali di Lewiston antara pertarungan amatir dan debut profesional saya,"Dia berkata. “Ini memberi saya kesempatan untuk berada di zona nyaman saya. Dan banyak penggemar saya yang tidak bisa hadir. Pada saat Anda memikirkan perjalanan, harga tiketnya, mungkin menginap, mereka tidak bisa melakukannya. "

Harvey setuju, menunjukkan bahwa ini adalah pertarungan awal yang tidak perlu dia bawa ke dalam koper.

“Ini akan menjadi pertama kalinya aku tidur di tempat tidurku sendiri pada malam sebelum bertengkar. Saya pikir itu keuntungan besar,” Harvey said. “Beberapa orang mungkin berpikir dengan lebih banyak penggemar Anda di sana bahwa ada lebih banyak tekanan, tapi saya pikir itu hanya membangun Anda. "

ERICKSON OUT, POWELL IN TO FACE LEMKE IN FRONT OF UFC PRESIDENT

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 18, 2016) – When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White comes to Bangor onBulan Agustus 5, 2016 to check out the local talent New England Fights (NEF) has to offer, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (7-5) will unfortunately have to watch from the sidelines. Erickson suffered an injury while training for his bout with Jon Lemke (5-5) previously-scheduled to take place that evening. White will be present to record a future episode of his web series Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight in which professional mixed-martial-artists have a shot at earning a UFC contract based on their performance.

 

Within mere hours of being informed of Erickson’s injury, NEF executives had found a replacement in the form of the promotion’s reigning professional lightweight champion Devin Powell (7-1). The bout will be a non-title contest scheduled for three-rounds at a catchweight of 160-pounds. It is a rematch of a May 2014 NEF fight which Powell won via first-round submission. Should Lemke win the rematch, he will be in line for a title shot in the rubber match.

 

“Sekali lagi, I am incredibly thankful and grateful to NEF for making this fight happen,” kata Lemke. “Getting an opponent change last minute is usually pretty stressful. Not this time, akan tetapi, as the crew at NEF was on top of it, and the next day I had a new opponent. I am very much looking forward to getting another crack at Devin, as I had a horrible showing in our first fight. Devin is a highly-touted and talented fighter and I expect an all out battle for sure. I have been looking forward to another crack at him for some time and you will see the best Jon Lemke yet.”

 

“Taking a short notice fight against Lemke was a no brainer,” stated Powell. “No way could I pass on a chance to fight a fellow Mainer a few hours away from my mom’s hometown of Allagash, Maine. Dana, I hope you get your popcorn, because you’re about to see a show. Hell or high water, I’m getting my hand raised.”

 

Acara selanjutnya New England Perkelahian ', “Hadiah NEF Dana White: Looking for a Fight” berlangsung pada hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5, 2016 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. Tiket yang dijual sekarang di www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com or by calling the box office at 800.745.3000.
