路易斯顿, 缅因 (八月 31, 2015) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF), 美国的头号地区拼促销, 将举行第十九届混合武术 (MMA) 事件, “第十九NEF,” 周六, 九月 12, 2015 在安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店在路易斯顿, 缅因. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. 安吉拉年轻 (0-0) 杨氏MMA在班戈预计，使她的首演反对 瑞秋Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate基拉因诺琴蒂 (0-0) 还计划使她的首演反对 汉娜Sparrell (0-0) 从头等舱MMA布伦瑞克.
安吉拉年轻的克里斯杨的妻子 – 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,” 说年轻, “不仅在轿厢来9月12日, 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, 这是更多的通过障碍持久，推动自己的极限作为竞争对手在没有经过测试的方法. 这是关于证明自己, 我的教练和我的队友，我已经赢得了我的正确步骤在笼子里。”
而在过去妇女被沦为打击体育赛事的杂耍和新奇的部分, 像拳击, 女子MMA不仅上升到平等的地位与男人的MMA, 它有, 在某些方面, 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, 其薪酬最高的运动员, 它是女性的最轻量级冠军龙达·鲁西 (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 卡会在运动的前列，扩大妇女的机会在区域一级.
“MMA对于女性来说是非常不不同于它是男性,” 说年轻. “明显, MMA是一个以男性为主的运动, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. 通过这场战斗营我一直在设法解决, 对打搏斗与年轻的MMA战斗的球队，他们已经无情的支持. 作为第一个女战士之一了杨氏肯定有压力 (还有结婚先生. 年轻) 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. 我希望女人把一个伟大的演出，因为我们确实有一些东西需要证明. 我已经把血, 汗水和泪水成培训和你最好相信我假设我的对手做同样的. 话虽这么说，, 女人是要来后，种植他们在NEF笼股份。”
“女子MMA是在上升,” 说因诺琴蒂. “每个学科教女人的东西，她不知道自己. 我已经看到它在我和其他许多人建立信心. 越女在垫子, 更好. Fans can expect my teammate, 安吉, 和我自己给它我们的一切，去打仗就像男战士年轻的MMA做. 我们一直在努力，代表我们的健身房. 我们将与骄傲战斗, 情, 和最强的角落找出来给我们. 我可以向你保证，女性的较量将是令人难忘的。”
“女子MMA是一种运动，就像任何其他,” 说Reinheimer埃弗雷特, 马萨诸塞州. “这不是的英雄耗尽进入树林三天训练与武林高手的动作片，然后击败一支整个军队. 这不是一个酒吧斗殴. 这不是一个后巷伏击. 这些妇女都是用最好的培训严重的运动员谁训练努力了多年, 设备和可用资源. 妇女谁在战斗中的体育竞争，花几千血小时, 汗水和泪水完善他们的运动. 他们做出牺牲. 此外, 有规则和时间限制和安全注意事项. 当有人不熟悉妇女MMA的想法, 我把它比作拳击或击剑, 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. 我的对手和我都是严重, 勤奋营. 我们都是母亲，它需要很大的决心和驱动做这项运动，而杂耍的工作和儿童. 我一直在努力不懈地与我的团队，因为我的最后一战，以提高我的比赛在各个方面. 我很感谢惊人的培训和队友在Sityodtong是把我逼得这么难. 九月 12, 你可以期待一战。”
大多数人, 男人和女人, 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, 古老而又年轻, 蓝领和白领, 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, 然而, 在竞争的bug被咬住.
“我被介绍给世界MMA签约我的女儿了对柔术班以为这将是她利于参与这项运动的自卫方面后，,” 回忆起汉娜Sparrell. “我看着她爱上游戏, 获得力量和信心, 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, 然后最终要探索MMA世界的其他方面. 作为一个在健身房已经变成了第二个家，我和我的女儿, 我的训练伙伴, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, 它的运动能力测试, 以及心理和情绪驱动的测试. 自从被引入到混合武术的世界，我已经把我的身体, 心脏, 和灵魂培训, 而在这一回合的竞争对我很重要的原因有很多, 不仅代表我自己和我的辛苦, 同时也代表所有的辛勤工作, 奉献, 和鼓励我从我的朋友收到, 教官, 培训合作伙伴, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, 它实际是一个很好的锻炼, 也是“治疗”的一个可能是紧张的一天结束的一种好形式. 我有很多女性我一起训练, 不是所有的人都打算战斗, 但这项运动的好处仍然存在, 他们喜欢它一样的。”
因诺琴蒂, 像许多, 开始参与打架的运动，以此来得到, 而留在, 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.
“混合武术是人类精神的各个层面的终极考验: 物理, 精神上, 和情感,” 说Reinheimer. “我有一个强烈的愿望要知道多远我可以去. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, 我的生活变得边界少. 我在垫子上的生活改善了我的生活离垫子，反之亦然. 它剥夺了一切不必要的干扰和蒸馏水将我打倒真正的问题, 进出环. 我觉得它让我变得更接近我的真实的自我. 这是最好的古武术和现代生活。”
四个女人的战斗 “第十九NEF” 卡, 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 在刘易斯顿很高兴有机会.
“NEF是一个坚实的推广有巨大的声誉,” 说Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. 我爱缅因州，那里的人群很棒. 我不能等!”
路易斯顿, 缅因 (八月 17, 2015) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF), 美国的头号地区拼促销, 将举行第十九届混合武术 (MMA) 事件, “第十九NEF: HOMECOMING,” 周六, 九月 12, 2015 在安德罗斯科银行Colisée酒店在路易斯顿, 缅因.

Boutin and Peterson touched on their first meeting some three-and-a-half years ago, 前不久布廷做了他的业余亮相 “NEF三。”
“我挂了谁拿到门票几个哥们你 (NEF) 第一个事件, 所以我去了，这是最伟大的事情,” recalled Boutin. “I remember talking with people and then contacting you. I really wasn’t doing anything at that time. I was feeling kind of lost. I was kind of clinging to the feeling of want. I just wanted to do something. 更多, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.”
由于没有正规的培训, Boutin would lose his first bout. 此后不久, 彼得森把布廷接触与财研究所在波特兰的教练乔恩·皮内特, 缅因. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, 同时, 锻造深厚的友谊和关系与队友.
“这是一个相当真棒氛围,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “我从来没有停留在一个地方很长我的整个生命, except for this place. I don’t see myself leaving. It’s a great atmosphere over here. I called Jon. I remember being really nervous to call Jon, 我想这个早期, 但他真的邀请… 大家在这里已真正吸引人, really supporting. There’s a really good mix of people here. We have young to old. We have everything in between. It’s a very accepting place to be. It’s a great place to train. Everyone gets along inside and outside the gym.”
布廷提出转专业今年早些时候在总共有竞争后决定 13 业余打架. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. 在这样做, 布廷获得了复仇的措施，因为它已经Cowette的门生布伦特迪灵汉 (1-1) 谁递给布廷在布廷的业余亮相他的首次亏损，在 “NEF三。” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, 但布廷和迪灵汉之间的战斗后的交流 “NEF III” 在 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.
试验是度过了一个巨大的胜利，在 “NEF XVIII” 上个月. He knocked out Corey Hinkley (2-4) in just seven seconds of the first round. 在这样做, Trial became the new holder of the NEF fastest knockout record. The finish was so brutal that Hinkley was taken from the cage on a stretcher by paramedics. Trial trains under coach Josh Parker at Ruthless MMA & 拳击在本顿, 缅因. He is confident that he will repeat his knockout performance on Velado at “第十九NEF。”
“我很高兴能回到原来的笼子,” 说试用. “Having a seven second knockout and breaking the NEF record was nice, 但它是不够的. I’ve been busting my ass in the gym with the best coach and I’m ready for anything – 但它是不可避免的. 这场斗争将结束以同样的方式在最后一个没有。”
虽然拉斐尔Velado可以做他的官MMA亮相 “第十九NEF,” he is no stranger to combat sports. Velado is an accomplished practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (巴西柔术). Training in the sport since 2005, Velado获得了黑带 2012 从世界著名的巴西柔术的传说, 和UFC老将, Joe Moreira. He was raised in Skowhegan, Maine and now resides in neighboring Norridgewock. Velado represents John Raio’s First Class Fitness & 不伦瑞克MMA, 缅因.
“它已经很难找到一个业余的，将采取反对巴西柔术黑带一拼, so I decided to call out the guy who is riding high from an impressive victory,” 说Velado. “我敢肯定，他认为不可阻挡，现在, 这应该使这场斗争很有趣. I don’t know if I would call it a classic striker versus grappler match-up, 但如果这是它是如何计费, 我不生气了。”

Darrius Heyliger was a regular on the main card of NEF events during the promotion’s infancy. Making the long trip from his home in Ithaca, 纽约几次, Heyliger built quite the fan following for himself in Maine and became one of the most popular out-of-state fighters competing in NEF. Heyliger impressed many with his victories over Jarod Lawton (4-2) 和乔希波纹管 (1-2). He would go on to headline “第七NEF” 对传说中的马库斯·戴维斯 (22-11) in one of the biggest fights in NEF history. 这回合, 在五月 2013, 是最后一次Heyliger将在竞争NEF, 或者晋升为此事, 直到 “第十九NEF。”

“我们真的高兴能有Darrius回来,” 说NEF共同所有者和媒人马特·彼得森. “He’s one of those fighters the fans are always asking us to bring back. His fight with Jarod Lawton was one of the most brutal to ever take place in the NEF cage. He’ll have his work cut out for him with Brandon Chagnon though.”

“我很高兴我得到了一个状态我以前没有参加过竞争的机会, 而在新的观众面前谁可能还没有机会看到在我面前展开竞争,” said Chagnon. “这是我的第十个职业MMA战斗, so it is important to me to go out make a statement. I train with what is highly regarded as the best team in the northeast and they are like family to me. With them standing behind me, 我知道，如果我在我的全部潜力打, I am trouble for any 170-pound fighter. From what I know, Darrius seems like a tough opponent and we have similar records on paper. 然而, 我在我的脑海毫无疑问，我会走开与另一个胜利。”
