Lewiston, Maine (August 31, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma iwa whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XIX,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Mahuru 12, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) o te MMA o Young i roto i te Bangor whakaritea ki te hanga ia tuatahi ki Rahera Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-0) Kei te whakaritea hoki ki te hanga ia tuatahi ki Hana Sparrell (0-0) i Tuatahi Class MMA i Brunswick.

 

Ko Angela Young te wahine o Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.

 

It’s important for me to test myself,” ka mea Young, “e kore anake i roto i te whare herehere maiMahuru 12, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, ko reira atu e pā ana kātaki i roto i te mau fifi, me aki oku rohe rite i te whakataetae i roto i te ara kihai i i i whakamatautauria. Ko te pā ana ki ata mohiotia ki ahau, oku kaiako me oku hoa tākaro i roaa e ahau toku tika ki te manga i roto i te whare herehere.”

 

Hea i roto i te wahine mua kua parea ki te mataraharaha, me te minamina ana wahi o ngā hākinakina whawhai, rite mekemeke, e kore kua MMA wahine a ara anake ki te rite tahi te mana ki a te tangata MMA, te mea, i roto i te tahi mau rave'a, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, me ona kaipara rawa utua, Ko o ona wahine whā toa Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 ka hei kāri i te aronga o te kaupapa ki te whakawhānui i ngā whai wāhitanga mō wahine i te taumata-rohe.

 

“E kore he tino rerekē atu i te mea mo te tangata MMA mō wahine,” kī Young. “Oia mau, MMA Ko te hākinakina nuinga tane, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Na roto i tenei puni whawhai ua uiui e ahau, sparred a nonoke ana raua kapa whawhai a te Feia Apî MMA me kua ratou unrelentingly tautoko. Te riroraa tetahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi o roto o Young o tino nei ona tenge (me te mali ki Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Titau ahau nga wahine ki te hoatu i runga i te whakaatu nui no te e tatou i te tahi mea ki te whakamatau. Kua waiho e ahau te toto, werawera me te roimata ki te whakangungu, me te koe pai whakapono ka whakaatu ahau ki oku hoariri mahi te taua. E te mea, nga wahine e haere ana ki te haere mai i muri i ki reira whakato ratou tĭtĭ i roto i te whare herehere NEF.”

 

Hoa tākaro o rua Young, Kira Innocenti, me te nei tona hoariri i “NEF XIX,” Rahera Reinheimer, titiro ki te whakaae ki te whakaaro a Young i runga i te tupu tere o MMA o te wahine.

 

“Ko Women o MMA i runga i te ara,” Said Innocenti. “Haapii ia ako te wahine te tahi mea e kore ia e mohio e pā ana ia. Kua kite ahau i hanga reira te ti'aturiraa i roto i ahau, me te tini ke atu. Ko te atu wahine i runga i nga whariki, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, a ki ahau hoatu te reira i to tatou katoa, me te haere ki te whawhai kia rite ki noa te toa tane i MMA o Young e rave. Kua mahi matou pakeke ki te tohu i to tatou omaoma. Ka whawhai matou ki te whakakake, weriweri, a ki te koki kaha titiro atu hoki ia tatou. Ka taea e ahau haapapû atu ia outou e, e pāngia te wahine a fakangalongata'a.”

 

“Women o MMA he tika rite he hākinakina tetahi atu,” kī Reinheimer o Everett, Massachusetts. “Ehara i te he kiriata mahi i reira rere te hero ki te ngahere ki te toru nga ra te whakangungu ki te ariki toi hōia, me te ka patu te ope katoa. Ehara i te he whawhai pae. Ehara i te he pehipehi kūiti hoki. Enei wahine he kaitäkaro nui nei whakangungu ata mo tau mā te whakamahi i te whakangungu pai, taputapu me ngā rauemi e wātea ana. Women nei whakataetae i roto i te hākinakina whawhai fakamoleki mano o haora o te toto, werawera me te roimata te tino ratou hākinakina. Hanga ana e ratou patunga tapu. I tua atu, reira ture me ngā tepe wā me whakatūpatotanga haumaru e. A, no te tangata he tauhou ki te whakaaro o MMA o te wahine, Whakarite e ahau ki te mekemeke taiapa ranei, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Toku hoariri, me te ahau he i nui e rua, puni pukumahi. He whaea e rua matou, a e te reira te rota o te faaotiraa, me te puku ki te mahi i tēnei hākinakina i te hunga maminga, mahi me ngā tamariki. Kua mahi ahau i kaha ki taku rōpū mai i toku whawhai whakamutunga ki te whakapai ake i toku kēmu i roto i nga āhuatanga. Na mauruuru no te whakangungu mīharo me hoa tākaro i Sityodtong e pana ahau kia pakeke ahau. I te Mahuru 12, Ka taea e koe e mahara he whawhai.”

 

Te nuinga o te taata, e rua nga tangata me nga wahine, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, tawhito, e te taitamariki, kara puru, me te kara ma, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, Heoi, E ngaua e te bug whakataetae.

 

“I whakaurua e ahau ki te ao MMA i muri i te hainatanga taku tamahine ki he ngaahi kalasi Jiu Jitsu te whakaaro 'e' aonga ki a ia mo whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina te āhuatanga korero whaiaro,” haamana'o Hanna Sparrell. “I ahau i tiaki rite hinga ia i roto i te aroha ki te kēmu, whiwhi kaha me te māia, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, a ka mutunga hiahia ki te tūhura i te tahi atu mau tuhaa o te ao MMA. Te riroraa i roto i te omaoma hei kua he whare tuarua mo ahau me taku tamahine, oku hoa whakangungu, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, te reira i te tamataraa o te tākaro, me te pai, hei whakamatautau ano i te puku hinengaro, ā-whatumanawa. Mai i whakaurua ki te ao toi hōia whakauru kua hoatu e ahau toku tinana, ngakau, me te wairua ki te whakangungu, a whakataetae i roto i tenei a'ee he nui ki ahau mo te maha ngā take, e kore anake ki te tohu ahau me toku mahi pakeke, engari ki te hoki tohu katoa te mahi pakeke, fakatapui, me te faaitoitoraa i riro mai i ahau i oku hoa, e tohutohu ana, hoa whakangungu, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, te reira i te pae tino ko te īngoa nui, a ka he ano hoki he ahua pai o "therapy" i te mutunga o te ra pea taumaha. I ahau he tini nga wahine whakangungu ahau ki, e kore e whakamahere i katoa o ratou i runga i whawhai, engari nga painga o te hākinakina e tonu i reira, a ka aroha ratou i te reira noa te taua.”

 

Innocenti, rite maha, ka whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina whawhai rite te ara ki te tiki i roto i, a noho i roto i, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.

 

“Te whakamatautau i ahau i roto i te a'ee toi hōia whakauru he nui ki ahau i roto i maha i te pā. E rua tau ki muri, Ko ahau te taumaha, me te aro ki te kitea he hauora, ara fakahoko. Kotahi ra, Ara ahau ki runga ka mau ki te ora i nga kingi, i roto i te hawhe tau, ngaro e ono tekau pauna i runga i toku ake. Pōwhiritia ahau e wero, muri, e ua hinaaro te tahi. Arona “He whakangungu” Lacey korerotia ki ahau e pā ana ki MMA o Young, a meinga ana e ahau ki te taki i te reira i roto i. I muri takahi i roto i te tatau, tamata i katoa o te akomanga, me te whakatutuki i te whānau nei i hanga te reira na motuhake, I potae, ahau. Hanga e ahau te reira i te opuaraa ia kia kotahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi i runga i te rōpū whawhai Ninety tino whaimana i roto New England o. Kua tonu ahau i te kaiwhakataetae. He pārekareka ki ahau wero ahau me aki rohe e whakaaro ki te e taea ki te whakatutuki i. Te oraraa i te āhua toi hōia whakauru he uaua. E titau te reira nui atu fakatapui atu ahau ake whakaaro taea. Wawahi te reira koutou ka hanga i a koutou hoki ki te tangata e koe pono e. He mea nui tenei whawhai, no te mea kua pahuatia ano e ahau ki te kapa mīharo i toku taha whakaako e te i te kaiako te nuinga o whakaihiihi me te akiaki. Ko ahau fakapapau'i ki te hanga whakakake ratou, ka whakawhetai ki a ratou ki toku ringa i ara.”

 

“Mixed Arts ko te whakamātautau hopea o te wairua o te tangata i runga i nga taumata: te pae tino, hinengaro, , ā-waiora,” Na ka mea a Reinheimer. “I ahau i te hiahia tahu ki te mohio pehea te tawhiti e taea e ahau te haere. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, hei toku ora, kua rohe-iti. Kua pai ake toku ora toku ora i runga i te whāriki atu te whāriki me te hurihia. Ngā huia te reira atu i te mau faaoaoaraa faufaa katoa me maturuturu iho ana aku ora ki raro, ki te mea faufaa tino, i roto i a roto o te whakakai. Ite e ahau kia rite ki ngā tauturu te reira riro ahau nui ofi ki toku whaiaro tūturu. Ko te te pai o toi hōia tahito, me te ora hou.”

 

O nga wahine e wha whawhai i runga i te “NEF XIX” kāri, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 i roto i te Lewiston e oaoa no te rave'a.

 

“NEF Ko te whakatairanga totoka ki te ingoa nui,” Na ka mea a Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. E kore e taea e ahau tatari!”

 

“Whakaaro ahau e taea e te pā e titau i te whakaatu nui pono,” ka mea Sparrell. “More maha atu i te kore i kï whawhai nga wahine a ki te kia tino ngahau, e hiahia ana o te akoranga tatou ki faaite ua ti'amâ tatou i roto i tenei hākinakina paitia tane-te nuinga. Ko te tuatahi hoki e toru i roto o wha o nga wahine i runga i tenei kāri tenei, na e mohio ana ahau ki reira kei te haere ki te waiho i te rota o te ngakau, me te faaotiraa maka ki enei whawhai.

I muri mai i te mahi roa runaruna e kite whakataetae ia ia i roto i te whare herehere ma toru nga wa, Tollison Lewis got off to a slow start in his professional career. He has been known throughout his career to take the toughest fights he can find, a kua tae mai katoa e wha nga parekura a Lewis i nga ringa o nga whawhai e pūkete toa i tēnei wā, ki te tatau win-mate ngā o 16-6. Last fall, i hui mekemeke tuatahi o NEF, Lewis defeated veteran boxer John Webster (8-7-1) after taking the bout on just a day’s notice. With a brand new NEF contract in tow, he tamaiti i runga i te ara, me te taanga manawa i te hākinakina i muri ia ia, Lewis will now look to carry his success from the NEF boxing ring over to the MMA cage. The 150-pound catchweight will be the first step in Lewis’s transition from the lightweight to featherweight division.

Be ready Derek, no te mea ka e ahau. Let’s give these fans a show and test ourselves to the limit.

 

Te kaiwhakarewa, me te upoko o te ārai Club Shatterproof, Derek Shorey is looking to bounce back from what he considers the worst loss of his career.
