Kira Innocenti (l) futhi Angela Young (r), isithombe ngezilokotho Tracey McCue
Lewiston, Maine (August 31, 2015) - New England ayalwa (NEF), America isibalo-one zesifunda fight ukukhuthazwa, izobamba exubile-karate-arts yayo nesishiyagalolunye (MMA) umcimbi, “NEF XIX,” ngomgqibelo, September 12, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée e Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) MMA Young ngo Bangor kulindeleke ukuba enze DEBUT yakhe ngokumelene Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) ibuye kuhlelelwe ukwenza DEBUT yakhe ngokumelene Hannah Sparrell (0-0) kusukela First Class MMA e Brunswick.
Angela Young umfazi 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,” wathi Young, “hhayi kuphela yezinyoni ezeSeptember 12th, 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, kwaba kabanzi mayelana kokukhuthazelela ngokusebenzisa izithiyo futhi baphokophelele imikhawulo yami njengoba nathi ngendlela engazange ihlolwe. Kwakungaba okuyiso ngedwa, abaqeqeshi bami futhi nabalingani bami, ngizuze amanye ilungelo lami ukuba angenelele yezinyoni.”
Kukuphi abesifazane esidlule abaye limane lifakwe sideshow futhi eseyintsha izingxenye izenzakalo combat yezemidlalo, like boxing, yabesifazane MMA akuzange nje wayeyoba zokulingana kanye MMA zabantu, ine, kwezinye izindlela, 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, futhi athlete yayo esiphezulu ikhokhwe, kuyinto bantamweight iqhawe besifazane walo Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 ikhadi kuyoba iyahola ukunyakaza ukuze sandise amathuba kwabesifazane ezingeni lesifunda.
“MMA kwabesifazane akuyona sezithandwa ezahlukene kunalokho kungenxa amadoda,” washo Young. “Ngokusobala, MMA wumdlalo ogxile wesilisa, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Ngalesi ekamu mpi engiye wabambana, sparred futhi belwa MMA mpi team the Young kanye baye unrelentingly supportive. Ukuba omunye fighters female wokuqala out of Young ngokuqinisekile has izingcindezi zayo (kanye kokuba ushade 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. Ngilindele ukuba abesifazane abukisa enkulu ngoba asinaye okuthile ukufakazela. Ngibeke igazi, ujuluke futhi izinyembezi ukuqeqesha kanye ukholwa kangcono Ngithathe uzitshela labamelene nami kwenziwe okufanayo. Lokho okushiwo, abesifazane bazoya ukuza emva kwalo ukutshala esigxotsheni yabo yezinyoni NEF.”
Enibambisene Kokubili Young, Kira Innocenti, has kanye abaphikisi wakhe ngesikhathi “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, babonakale bayahambisana imibono Young ekwandeni okusheshayo MMA yabesifazane.
“Yabesifazane MMA kuyanda,” Said Innocenti. “Isiyalo ngamunye lifundisa into owesifazane yena akazi ngaye. Ngikubone nokuzethemba mina nabanye abaningi. Abesifazane more on the amacansi, ngcono. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, futhi mina ngokwami ukuze ulinike yethu yonke futhi uye impi nje like the amaqhawe wesilisa ngesikhathi MMA Young benze. Sisebenze kanzima ukumela gym yethu. Sizolwa ngokuziqhenya, passion, futhi kanye emagumbini eziqine ngifuna out for us. Angikwazi ukukuqinisekisa ukuthi iziqubu labesifazane kuyoba ongenakulibaleka.”
“Yabesifazane MMA wumdlalo nje uthanda yimuphi omunye,” washo Reinheimer of Everett, Massachusetts. “Akukona isenzo movie lapho hero siphela ehlathini izinsuku ezintathu ukuqeqesha nge karate master bese linqoba ibutho lonke. Akukona a sekusuke isidumo bar. Akusiwona emuva alley Abaqamekeli. Laba besifazane abasubathi sína ngubani ukuqeqesha ngenkuthalo iminyaka usebenzisa ukuqeqeshwa umhlabeleli, imishini kanye izinsiza ezikhona. Abesifazane ngubani ukuncintisana empini ezemidlalo ezichitha izinkulungwane amahora igazi, ujuluke futhi izinyembezi ephelelisa umdlalo wabo. Benza imihlatshelo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kunemithetho futhi sikhatsi lesitsite futhi izindlela zokuphepha. Uma othile engayazi umqondo MMA yabesifazane, I ukufanise boxing noma uthango, 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. Futhi abaphikisi wami bavela sína, okuhlushwa azikhandlayo. Singabantu nomama kuthatha eziningi ukuzimisela kanye drive ukwenza lokhu sport ngenkathi Juggling umsebenzi nezingane. Bengisebenza ngokuzikhandla nethimba lami kusukela impi yami last ukuthuthukisa umdlalo yami kuzo zonke izici. Angive ngijabula ngokuba ukuqeqeshwa amazing kanye nabalingani ngaso Sityodtong ukuthi ibenze kimi kanzima kangaka. On September 12, ungalindela impi.”
Iningi labantu, kokubili amadoda nabesifazane, 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, amasha namadala, collar blue and collar white, 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, Nokho, basuke yenhlwathi bug mncintiswano.
“Bangixhumanisa emhlabeni MMA ngemuva kokusayina indodakazi yami up for Jiu Jitsu amakilasi becabanga kungasiza kuye for the isici ezama ukuzivikela ezihilelekile mdlalo,” wakhumbula Hanna Sparrell. “Ngabukela yena wathandana the game, ukuzuza amandla nokuzethemba, 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, bese ekugcineni wayefuna ukuhlola ezinye izici zezwe MMA. Ukuba ejimini isibe ikhaya lesibili for me nendodakazi yami, ukuqeqeshwa partners yami, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, kungcono test of nawemidlalo, kanye test of drive ezingokwengqondo nezingokomzwelo. Kusukela isilethwa exubile karate emhlabeni ngibekile umzimba wami, Inhliziyo, futhi umphefumulo ukuqeqesha, futhi ukuncintisana kule iziqubu kubalulekile kimi ngenxa yezizathu eziningi, hhayi kuphela ukumela ngedwa futhi umsebenzi wami onzima, kodwa futhi ukumela wonke umsebenzi onzima, ukunikela, nesikhuthazo mina osithole kubangane bami, abafundisi, ukuqeqeshwa partners, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, kube ngokomzimba kuba Amazing enkulu, futhi ifomu ezinhle "Ukwelashwa" ekupheleni kosuku okungenzeka esicindezelayo. I abesifazane abaningi I ukuqeqeshwa, hhayi bonke uhlela on fighting, kodwa izinzuzo mdlalo zisuke zisekhona, futhi athande it nje okufanayo.”
Innocenti, like abaningi, yazihlanganisa mpi kwezemidlalo njengoba indlela ukuze uthole in, futhi uhlale, 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.
“Ukuhlola ngokwami in a okuxubile karate iziqubu kubalulekile kimi Mayelana eziningi. Eminyakeni emibili edlule, Ngangikhuluphele futhi ofunana enempilo, indlela owanelisa. Usuku olulodwa, Ngavuka wathatha ukuphila by the nokubusa kanye ngesigamu ngonyaka, lost amakhilogremu ayisithupha ngingedwa. I yamukele inselele, baphumelela, futhi wayefuna omunye. Aaron “Ukwanda” Lacey wangitshela mayelana MMA Young kanye ngaphoqeleka ukuba kuhlole. Emva sandise ngokusebenzisa iminyango, izama yonke amakilasi, nokuhlangana umndeni owenza ekhethekile kangaka, Ngase wezithombe. Ngafika kahle umgomo ukuba omunye fighters lokuqala female on the kunjalo eliphawuleka kakhulu impi team in New England. I bezilokhu nesincintisana. Ngiyakujabulela inselele ngedwa futhi baphokophelele imikhawulo ukuthi kucatshangwa ukuthi akunakwenzeka ukuba kuzuzwe. Ukuphila exubile karate yokuphila kunzima. Kudinga nokuzinikela ngaphezu I wake wacabanga kungenzeka. It iphula wena akhele wena emuva phezulu umuntu ngempela.

“Mixed Martial Arts kuyinto esizidlula umoya womuntu on wonke amazinga: emzimbeni, ngokwengqondo, nangokomzwelo,” wathi Reinheimer. “I abe nesifiso esivuthayo ukwazi kude kangakanani Ngingaya.

Lewiston, Maine (August 17, 2015) - New England ayalwa (NEF), America isibalo-one zesifunda fight ukukhuthazwa, izobamba exubile-karate-arts yayo nesishiyagalolunye (MMA) umcimbi, “NEF XIX: Amazing,” ngomgqibelo, September 12, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisée e Lewiston, Maine. Featured on the professional portion of the card will be a light-heavyweight matchup betweenCrowsneck Boutin (1-0) futhi Mike “Amadevu” Hansen (2-2). Both men are competing under NEF developmental deals.
Muva, Boutin was NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson’s guest on the NEF Podcast. Boutin discussed, phakathi kwezinye izihloko, ayekhula Lubec, Maine, the iziqubu oluzayo Hansen, and his recent signing to a multi-fight NEF development deal. Boutin and Peterson touched on their first meeting some three-and-a-half years ago, ngaphambi nje Boutin wenza DEBUT yakhe amateur at “NEF III.”
“Ngase ukuzihlalela a buddies ezimbalwa owangena amathikithi yakho (NEF) Isenzakalo sokuqala, ngakho ngaya ukuthi kanti kwakuyinto kunabo,” 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. Okuningi, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.”
With akukho ukuqeqeshwa ngokusemthethweni, Boutin would lose his first bout. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, Peterson ubeke Boutin nabo Umqeqeshi Jon Pinette of the Choi Institute e Portland, Maine. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, ngesikhathi esifanayo, ekwakheni ubungane obuqinile kanye nobudlelwano nabalingani.
“Kuyinto umkhathi pretty awesome,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “Angikaze wasala endaweni eyodwa isikhathi eside kakhulu ekuphileni kwami konke, 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, Bengicabanga ngalokhu ekuqaleni, kodwa wayememela ngempela… Wonke umuntu lapha iye ngokumema ngempela, 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.”
Boutin isinqumo ukuvula professional ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ngemva kokuba ligcwaliswe in a isamba 13 ukulwa amateur. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. In doing so, Boutin yazuza elithile revenge njengoba kwakunjalo protégé Cowette sika Brent Dillingham (1-1) ngubani eyayisikhiphile Boutin ukulahlekelwa sakhe sokuqala Boutin sika amateur DEBUT at “NEF III.” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, kodwa exchange post-impi phakathi Boutin and Dillingham at “NEF III” in 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.
Boutin bayoba nomsebenzi wakhe ukuphuma ngaye nge Hansen on September 12 e Lewiston. Hansen is an accomplished wrestler, sebezivumisile wawina Championship isimo for Intaba Valley High School in Rumford, Maine in 2004. Boutin, Nokho, eqiniseka in emakhonweni nasemandleni akhe siqu kokubili emile on the mat.
“Ngizizwa ngikulungele for nomaphi lapho mpi ayibonakali,” wathi Boutin. “Uma uhlala ezinyaweni, emahlandla ekugcineni phezu ezintathu, I’m gonna try to knock him out. It’s always fun to knock people out. If it goes to the ground, Ngizokhuluma inqobe khona.”
