Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Mei 2, 2017) -nieuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) keert terug naar de Androscoggin Bank Colisee op Zaterdag, Juni 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) en professioneel boksen vlagen. On the professional portion of the MMA card, the ever-popular Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (1-0) heeft om het gezicht getekend Eric “Big Black” Ramsey (0-1) in een zwaargewicht wedstrijd.

 

Including his amateur career, de 6'6″ Ras Hylton is a perfect 4-0 in de NEF kooi. His meteoric rise to the top of the NEF heavyweight division has left a trail of broken and battered opponents in its wake. Hylton’s first four opponents have not lasted a total of six minutes with the Taekwondo black belt. A member of both First Class MMA and Dragon Fire Martial Arts, Hylton won his pro debut over veteran Mike Hansen (5-5) bij “NEF 27” last February.

 

“I’m really excited about being able to get in the cage again,” zei Hylton. “I have the opportunity to get tested by someone outside the circuit, which evokes a real ‘next level’ feeling. NEF is really pulling out all the stops to make 17 juni a great start to the summer! I can’t think of a better way to celebrate Father’s Day, so I intend to relax, ongeslagen, with my kids on Sunday. I hope everyone comes out for this one!”

 

Eric Ramsey will make his first NEF appearance on Juni 17. Based out of Clinton, Oklahoma, Ramsey has been a fixture on MMA cards in the Sooner State since 2012. Like Hylton, he gained a reputation as a quick finisher, with his first three amateur bouts lasting a total of less than three minutes. Ramsey comes to Maine looking for his first win as a professional. He represents Trinity Combat Club.

 

“I look forward to displaying my skills in front of a new crowd,” said Ramsey. “I am very grateful to NEF and Ras Hylton for allowing me the opportunity to challenge myself. I’m excited to show what Oklahoma has to offer. Dankjewel, and God bless.”

BELLATOR VETERANS SET TO SQUARE OFF IN LEWISTON

Laat een reactie achter

 

Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Mei 1, 2017) – Between them they have a dozen fights in the Bellator cage. Nu, they have signed to face each other in the New England Fights (NEF) hexagon. Straal “All Business” Hout (8-3) ontmoet Alexandre “Mikpunt” Bezerra (19-5) in het main event van “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” Het evenement, which will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts and professional boxing bouts, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Juni 17, 2017 op de Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine.

 

“This would be a main card fight on any nationally-televised event,” zei NEF mede-eigenaar en promotor Nick Di Salvo. “It doesn’t get any bigger or better than this on the regional level. This is the kind of fight we love to deliver to the NEF fans.”

 

Wood grew up in Bucksport, Maine and became a top MMA prospect after joining Young’s MMA in Bangor. He was victorious in ten of his first eleven fights over the course of his amateur and early professional careers. Wood’s sole loss during that impressive run came when he moved up to the lightweight division to face a larger Shane Manley (3-3).

 

It took Wood just over a minute to submit Lenny Wheeler (9-5) bij “NEF 8.” Daarbij, Wood became the first NEF Featherweight Champion. He went on to successfully defend the title against tough Brazilian prospect Gabriel Baino (6-2) with a second-round TKO. Months later, Wood would drop the title to Anthony Morrison (20-11) via fifth-round submission.

 

The next few years would see Wood travel away from Maine to settle first in South Carolina and later Texas. Since leaving Maine, he has been training at some of the top gyms in all of mixed martial arts with world-class athletes, and he has fought for national promotion Bellator three times. Wood’s Bellator debut saw him finish Chris Jones (10-5) in de eerste ronde. He is now looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to AJ McKee, Jr. (8-0) bij Bellator 166 late last year. The fight with Bezerra will be Wood’s first on Maine soil since February 2015.

 

“I’m excited to fight in front of the New England fans once again,” said Wood when reached for comment at his home in Amarillo, Texas. “It’s been way too long. It’s time to get back to where all my success began. The last time I fought in Maine, I left with a loss, and I have no easy task in front of me this time. Alexandre is no joke, and has fought some of the best in the world, and with me coming off back-to-back losses, I have no choice but to have my hand raised by the end of three rounds. I have never lost three straight in anything.”

 

A native of Sao Paolo, Brazilië, Alexandre Bezerra now lives and trains in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he is a member of Daddis Fight Camps. Bezerra holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and he is also a teacher of the sport.

 

Bezerra has nine Bellator bouts under his belt. He competed in both the Season Six and Season Eight featherweight tournaments, making it past the quarterfinal rounds but losing in the semifinals each time. Meest recent, Bezerra competed for national promotion Titan Fighting Championships in late 2016. Like Wood, Bezerra is looking to bounce back from a loss.
“I am very excited to compete for NEF, they are a fantastic organization and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity,” said Bezerra. “My opponent is a tough, up-and-coming prospect, and this should be a great fight. Both of us are looking to finish fights, so the fans are in for a treat!”

 

“Everyone in Maine and New England fight sports knows the talent that is Ray Wood,” NEF verklaarde mede-eigenaar en matchmaker Matt Peterson. “He cut his teeth in NEF and after going on to compete in several high-profile Bellator fights, he’s coming back home to where it all began for him. Zijn tegenstander, a native of Brazil, is a seasoned veteran that has a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Fans can expect to see the highest level of mixed martial arts skill on display in this blockbuster main event.”
