STACKED FIGHT CARD OPENS THE YEAR FOR NEF IN LEWISTON

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Janvye 11, 2017) -Nouvo England Goumen (Nef) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Fevriye 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Nef 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the full card for the event. The night will feature both amateur and professional MMA bouts.

 

Headlining the evening will be the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new professional lightweight champion. The title was vacated when previous champion Devin Powell (8-1) signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (Ch). Ryan Sanders (12-8) ap pran sou John Ortolani (8-10) pandan y ap Jon Lemke (5-7) ap fè fas Izayi Erickson (9-5) in a rematch from Bellator 93. The winners of those two bouts will meet in the finals tentatively scheduled for “NEF 28” later this year.

 

In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Ras Hylton (0-0) pral fè premye pwofesyonèl l 'kont Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Hylton, oswa “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie pou Ane a” by NEF fans after going 3-0 kòm yon amatè. Hansen was a Maine state wrestling champion for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS), and he has developed quite a reputation for downing larger opponents on both the mats and the MMA cage. Hansen was the recipient of the “2016 Submission of the Year” prim.

 

Speaking of 2016 ganyan prim, nan “Avyon de gè pou Ane a,” Plum Prospect Arawon Lacey (4-0), will look for his fifth consecutive victory in less than a year when he meets Florida’s Chris Jacobs (1-0). Jacobs put together an impressive 8-3 dosye kòm yon amatè, winning regional titles along the way.

 

The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) defan kont Victor Irwin (2-0). Glover has held the title since last February. Both Glover and Irwin were Maine state wrestling champions – Glover with MVHS and Irwin with Brewer High School.

 

Also scheduled on the amateur card are no less than three women’s bouts. Angela Young (1-2), who put on multiple “Goumen nan mitan lannwit lan” performances in 2016, returns to face New Hampshire’s Christine Brothwell (0-2). Young’s teammate, Katie Baker (0-0), will make her in-cage debut against another tough competitor from the Granite State in the form of Alex Walker (2-1), pandan y ap Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).

BURGESS SIBLINGS READY TO BATTLE AT NEF 24

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 16, 2016) – As the only girl in a rough-and-tumble household with three older brothers in Mexico, Maine, Nicole Burgess learned how to fight for pride, for respect, sometimes even just for fun.

Sometimes such sibling rivalries are a challenge and burden. In Nicole’s case, sepandan, the arrangement furnished three built-in fans and best friends. And the closest bond of all naturally formed with the family’s youngest boy, Ryan, exactly one year and three days older than his sister.

“We were born pretty much back-to-back,” said Ryan Burgess, the pride becoming perceptible in his voice. “She’s always been tough. She’s really strong, just very athletic.”

Ryan, 22, has backed up his three high school championships as a wrestler with a pair of impressive mixed martial arts wins and the New England Fights amateur flyweight title.

Not to be outdone, multi-sport athlete Nicole, 21, finished fourth against primarily male competition in the state wrestling meet her sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. She has carved out a successful college field hockey career at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

Similarly accomplished, so close in age, rarely seen apart from one another in childhood, Ryan and Nicole’s athletic and life stories remain intertwined as young adults. Nicole will follow her brother into the NEF cage on Samdi, Jen 18, making her debut against Alex Walker (0-1) in a 115-pound women’s bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.”

Anybody who grew up with a brother or a sister probably can imagine the good-natured ribbing that has taken place in training camp.

“He thinks I’m probably going to want to throw up,” Nicole said with a laugh.

Ryan, who will defend his strap on the same card against Dustin Veinott in a rematch of their split-decision title tilt from November 2015, knows there is no substitute for experience in the cage.

Although he was one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the history of his proud community, Ryan discovered in his first two cage confrontations that the variety of skills and size of the crowd at an MMA event demanded a quantum leap.

“You don’t know what to expect,"Li te di. “Before my debut, I had never been in a fight in my life. I thought I had, but I really hadn’t. I told myself ‘It’s just another wrestling match,’ but it’s not.”

Burgess stuck with what he knew best and ground out a unanimous decision over Justin Witham in June 2015.

He was introduced as an independent. His studies at Kennebec Valley Community College interfered with his training schedule, and Burgess’ coaches at Berserkers MMA didn’t want him representing the stable until he spent a full cycle under their watchful eyes.

The same night, he scouted out Veinott’s win over Norman “Sleepy” Fox and felt that he compared favorably to both fighters. He proved it in a championship setting five months later, albeit by an on-paper verdict that most cage-side observers felt could have gone either way.

After struggling to find an opponent worthy for the title shot in his weight class, Burgess was eager to extend Veinott (4-4) a second chance.

“I’ve already been in the cage 18 minit, which is more fight time than a lot of guys who’ve been in four of five fights can say they’ve had,” Ryan said. “I’m completely confident now with the venue, fanatik yo. The only person I hear now is my coach.”

He doesn’t even hear Nicole, although little sister was so enamored with the environment as a spectator that she couldn’t wait to resume her own combat sports career.

“I always watched UFC and stuff like that,” she said. “I actually started boxing before Ryan even got into it.”

Nicole donned the gloves in high school after giving up softball. In sixth grade, she made a similar transition from basketball to wrestling after waiting for a ride home, watching one of Ryan’s grueling mat practices and deciding that it looked fun.

“It was weird at first. I didn’t want to touch the guys,” Nicole said. “Then you heard things like, ‘Oh, it’s just a girl.’ Often times the guys would be stronger, but I had good technique.”

Walker brings experience, in the form of a loss to Randi Beth Boyington, and a tough stand-up game.

Speaking with the typical subtlety of a big brother, Ryan said that Nicole “should be OK as long as she doesn’t get kicked in the head.”

He quickly noted that she has the poise and talent to enjoy a successful debut if she can shake off the requisite whirlwind of emotions.

“As long as she can put together everything she’s learned. You have to overcome the nerves and the adrenaline dump,” Ryan said. “I remember that from my debut. It stunk.”

Nicole said she would like to end the fight early but predicted that it probably will go the distance.

Her brother aims for his first stoppage and forecasts that his improved striking will catch Veinott and everyone else by surprise.

“Up until now, I was focused on school, just graduating in May, and trying to get my career started,” Ryan said. “I was working 40 hours a week for free as an internship and working 20 more hours on the weekend trying to make ends meet. Dustin is going to see a completely different fighter this time.”

klòch la ouvèti sou Jen 18 se mete pou 7 p.m. The current docket includes five pro boxing fights, four pro MMA bouts and eight amateur MMA skirmishes.

WOMEN CONTINUE TO EXCEL IN THE NEF MMA CAGE

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Me 17, 2016) – Just days removed from hosting a “Goumen pou Ane a” candidate in Hyannis, Massachusetts between Kylie O’Hearn (1-0) ak Angela Young (1-2), New England Goumen (Nef) announced that the fight promotion’s cage would host another women’s amateur bout in Lewiston on June 18, 2016. Nan “Nef 24: PROMISED LAND,” NEF veteran Alex Walker (0-1) returns to the cage to meet newcomer Nicole Burgess (0-0) in an amateur strawweight bout.

 

Walker arrived in NEF in the spring of 2015 to face Randi Beth Boyington (1-3) in what was the cage debut for both women. Just like O’Hearn and Young did this past weekend in Hyannis, Walker and Boyington stole the show at “Nef 17.” They battled tooth-and-nail for three rounds before Boyington took a unanimous decision on the judges’ performance.

 

Walker is expected to give another “Goumen nan mitan lannwit lan” performance at “NEF 24” after an injury forced her out of competition for the past year. Those who know her, including her coach and teammates at Team Kaze in Lancaster, New Hampshire, say that Walker lives to fight. Being unable to climb into the cage for so long has made Walker more determined than ever.

 

“I can’t wait to fight in Maine again,” exclaimed Walker when reached for comment. “I had an injury last year, a month after my fight with Randi Beth. I am recovered and ready to go. It killed me to be on the sidelines. I feel like I earned some respect and some fans in Maine and I don’t want to lose that. I am sure this girl will be ready, but she won’t be ready for me! Between life’s hardships, surgery, pèt, and whatever else, I will not quit until I am successful! It would mean a lot to me to get my first W in front of the Maine fans on June 18th!”

 

Standing opposite Walker on Jen 18 will be Nicole Burgess. If the name sounds familiar to NEF fans, it should. She is the sister of NEF MMA fighter Ryan Burgess (2-0). Ryan is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. The undefeated streak of the Burgess family in the NEF cage will be on her shoulders at “NEF 24.”

 

Burgess, yon natif natal nan Meksik, Maine, wrestled and played field hockey for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine prior to attending Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. While at Mountain Valley, she placed three times at states in wrestling. She currently trains with Berserkers MMA.

 

“I’m excited about this opportunity to finally get in the cage,” Di Burgess. “After seeing my brother win the title at 125, it really amped me up to take this on since I’ve been wrestling with him for years. This will be an opportunity to show people what I’m made of. I’m ready for a fight.”

 

“Women’s fights have stolen the show at three different NEF events in the past year,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “This one will be no different. Women’s fights in MMA are not a novelty. From the regional level right up to the UFC, female athletes are excelling to heights unseen in other sports. The sky is the limit for Nicole and Alex. I can’t wait for this one!”

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 24, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, retounen nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine sou Avril 11, 2015 ak disetyèm melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman. NEF released the full fight card for the event last week. Earlier today, the company announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the fight card. CJ egyèr (3-1) ap fè fas a Connor “Se sèlman Artikule” Barry (4-1) nan yon pwa batay nan 165-liv.

 

Egyèr, yon manm nan mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine, took the NEF MMA amateur ranks by storm in the summer of 2013. In the matter of just ten weeks, Egyèr chalked moute twa viktwa, dènye a nan yo ki te chèf veteran Crowsneck Boutin (6-7). His streak was brought to a halt by the tough Wayne Ahlquist (1-1) later that fall. Ewer would take more than a year off to serve his country in the United States Air Force security forces. Now back home and training with his teammates at Young’s, Egyèr sanble pou pi devan pou tès tèt li yon lòt fwa ankò nan kalòj la nef mma.

 

“Mwen trè enkyete yo jwenn tounen nan konpetisyon nan nef apre yo te fin ale pou prèske yon lane ak mwatye nan yon,” di egyèr. “And I’m thankful Young’s welcomed me back and took the time to train me. Connor looks like a very tough opponent, epi li pral yon gwo tès pou mwen.”

 

Connor Barry se yon avyon de gè endepandan kounye a ki baze soti nan Lowell, Massachusetts. Barry has become known as a “eFinisyon” nan rejyon an, li te gen bat twa nan opozan l 'yo atravè pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI) and one via submission. His only loss to date came by judge’s decision. Already having put in two fight camps for a planned pro-debut that never happened, Barry se konfyan ki se li ki nan fòm nan pi bon nan karyè l ', li pral gen yon premye nef siksè nan depans egyèr a.

 

“Mwen te pran sa a batay paske mwen te gen pro premye tonbe mwen an nan de fwa,” Di Barry. “Mwen te fòmasyon pou yon batay pro pou senk mwa kounye a, se konsa an tèm de kondisyone, he’s gonna be in for a surprise. In terms of fighting, Mwen panse ke mwen surpase l 'nan tout aspè sèl. From watching his fights, li sanble pè yo Bang, epi si li se pè yo Bang kont mwen, li pral jwenn frape soti rapid.”

Pwochen mma evènman nef an, “Nef ksvii,” la pwograme yo pran plas souAvril 11, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-7) ap defann nef mma lejè Tit la kont nimewo-yon sèl contender Jamie Harrison (5-1). Anplis de sa, Jarod “Dènye minit” Lawton (4-1) satisfè Dennis Olson (12-7) nan yon konkou wèltèr.

We sold out of all cage-side tickets four weeks prior to the event, and the general admission are very close to being gone. We’ve never seen that happen so early before. It really says something about the quality of the product we’re putting on here in Lewiston. There’s no doubt NEF is the hottest ticket in town.”
