Speaking of 2016 pristagarna, den “Fighter Årets,” fjäder utsikter Aaron 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 rekord som en amatör, winning regional titles along the way.

I can’t wait to get back to work in the NEF cage,” exclaimed Walker. “2017 is going to be a good year and I am looking forward to entertaining the great fans in Maine! I can’t think of a better way to start the year. The two times I have fought in Maine, they were both FOTN, looking to Threepeat!”

 

Katie Baker, an 18-year-old from Gardiner, Maine, might be new to the NEF cage, but she is well-known within martial arts circles in the Pine Tree State. Baker began training in combat sports at the age of five.

BURGESS SIBLINGS READY TO BATTLE AT NEF 24

Lewiston, Maine (Juni 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, emellertid, 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 Lördag, Juni 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,"Sa han. “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 minuter, 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, fansen. 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.”

Öppnandet klockan på Juni 18 är inställd för 7 p.m. The current docket includes five pro boxing fights, four pro MMA bouts and eight amateur MMA skirmishes. Tickets for “NEF 24: Promised Land” start at $25 och finns påwww.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisee biljettkassan på 207.783.2009, extension 525.

WOMEN CONTINUE TO EXCEL IN THE NEF MMA CAGE

Lewiston, Maine (Maj 17, 2016) – Just days removed from hosting a “Fight of the Year” candidate in Hyannis, Massachusetts between Kylie O’Hearn (1-0) och Angela Young (1-2), New England Fights (NEF) announced that the fight promotion’s cage would host another women’s amateur bout in Lewiston on June 18, 2016. Vid “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’ styrkort.

 

Walker is expected to give another “Fight of the Night” performance atNEF 24after 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, förluster, 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 Juni 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 atNEF 24.

 

Burgess, en inföding av Mexico, 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,” Said 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!”

KAMPEN läggas till i NEF XVII KORT kommer innehålla efterlängtade återkomst

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 24, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), USA: s nummer ett regionalt kamp främjande, återgår till Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine den April 11, 2015 med dess sjuttonde blandade-martial-arts (MMA) händelse. NEF släppte fulla kampen kort för händelsen förra veckan. Tidigare idag, företaget meddelat tillägget av en amatör catchweight bout till kampen kortet. CJ Ewer (3-1) kommer att möta Connor “Endast knoge” Barry (4-1) vid ett slagsmål vikt av 165-pounds.

 

Ewer, ledamot i Youngs MMA i Bangor, Maine, tog NEF MMA amatör leden med storm under sommaren 2013. I fråga om bara tio veckor, Ewer uppvisat tre segrar, varav den sista var över veteranen Crowsneck Boutin (6-7). Hans strimma fördes till ett stopp av tuffa Wayne Ahlquist (1-1) senare samma höst. Ewer skulle ta mer än ett år ledigt för att tjäna sitt land i United States Air Force säkerhetsstyrkor. Nu hem och träna med sina lagkamrater på Youngs, Ewer ser fram emot att testa sig själv på nytt i NEF MMA bur.

 

“Jag är mycket angelägen om att komma tillbaka till konkurrerande inom NEF efter att ha varit borta en halv nästan ett år och,” sade Ewer. “Och jag är tacksam Youngs välkomnade mig tillbaka och tog sig tid att träna mig. Connor ser ut som en mycket tuff motståndare, och det ska vara ett stort test för mig.”

 

Connor Barry är en oberoende fighter närvarande bas i Lowell, Massachusetts. Barry har blivit känd som en “behandlare” i regionen, ha besegrat tre av sina motståndare via teknisk knockout (VEM) och en via submission. Hans enda förlust hittills kom med domarens beslut. Redan efter att ha satt i två slagsmål läger för en planerad pro-debut som aldrig hänt, Barry är övertygad om att han är i den bästa formen av sin karriär och kommer att ha en lyckad NEF debut på Ewer bekostnad.

 

“Jag tog denna kamp eftersom jag har haft min pro debut falla igenom två gånger,” säger Barry. “Jag har tränat för en pro kamp för fem månader nu, så det gäller konditionering, han kommer att vara i för en överraskning. När det gäller striderna, Jag tror att jag utklassa honom i varje enskild aspekt. Från att titta på hans matcher, han ser rädd att bang, och om han är rädd att bang mot mig, han ska åka ut snabbt.”

NEF nästa MMA event, “NEF XVII,” är planerad att äga rum denApril 11, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-7) kommer att försvara NEF MMA Lätt titel mot nummer ett utmanare Jamie Harrison (5-1). Dessutom, Jarod “Sista-minuten” Lawton (4-1) möter Dennis Olson (12-7) i en weltervikt tävling.
