NEF SELLS-OUT AGAIN IN BANGOR AS LOCAL FIGHTERS SHINE IN THE CAGE

Bangor, Maine (Lúnasa 6, 2017) –There was no place like home Dé Sathairn night for C.J. Ewer, Ryan Sanders and Fred Lear of Young’s MMA in Bangor.

Fighting in front of a sold-out ballroom a stone’s throw from their training headquarters, the three fighters atop the card at “NEF 30” Rumble in Bangor” all posted impressive victories at Cross Insurance Center.

Ewer defeated Mike “The Mustache” Hansen by submission at 1:46 of the first round to capture the vacant NEF pro middleweight title. Lear landed the NEF amateur bantamweight belt, while Sanders tightened his grip on New England’s pro lightweight scene in a non-title triumph.

It was the second consecutive August sellout in the Queen City, a tradition that began with “NEF Presents Dana White: LookinFor a Fight” last summer.

After his hard-fought win over the much-traveled Jay Ellis, NEF pro lightweight champion Sanders, rangaithe Uimh. 1 sa réigiún, kept his comments short and sweet while calling out the aforementioned Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) uachtarán.

“You took the wrong guy last year,"A dúirt Sanders. “Come get me now.”

Sanders (15-8) didn’t have an easy road against Ellis, a veteran of more than 80 pro bouts. Ellis had Sanders under control for most of the fight but left himself vulnerable to a triangle choke at 2:34 an chéad bhabhta.

Ewer dispatched Hansen with a similarly swift maneuver.

“It’s a great feeling to win it in front of the home crowd,” Ewer said. “As hard as we worked (in training camp), I didn’t think anything could stop me.”

The sudden ending spoiled Hansen’s hopes of winning a title for the first time in his 13-year mixed martial arts career.

“This was by far the best training camp I ever had. We were just getting warmed up,” Hansen said. “I had a lot more to give, and I’m sure C.J. had a lot of more to give. But hey, we could do it again.”

Lear highlighted the amateur portion of the card with an authoritative second-round knockout of Walt Shea.

Only the bell saved Shea from Lear’s onslaught at the end of the opening chapter. Lear gained the advantage with a kick to the head midway through that round. After nearly locking in an arm bar that could have ended the fight, Lear bloodied the previously unbeaten Shea with a series of strikes.

The end appeared inevitable when Shea needed Lear’s help to find his corner between rounds, and another interrupted attack hastened the finish only 14 soicind ina dhiaidh sin.

An emotional Lear lauded his coach, Chris Young of Young’s MMA, before fastening the belt around the teacher’s waist.

“A lot of people around here know his name, but they don’t know the man,” Lear said. “He’s the first guy in the gym in the morning and the last one to leave at night. He’s the reason we’re all here. He’s the reason we’re successful. He’s the reason some of us aren’t in jail.”

In the first two fights of Josh Jonesamateur MMA career, Jones dispatched his opponents by one-punch knockout in a total of 24 soicind. It took Carlton Charles one fewer tick of the clock to take out Jones in the stunning conclusion to a touted tangle of former star collegiate athletes.

Charles, a product of the University of Maine football program taking his initial walk to the NEF cage, turned the tables on Jones (2-1) in a middleweight scrap. Jones again went for the early stoppage with a pair of looping shots, but Charles calmly ducked them before landing one of his own and taking the issue to the mat.

“I just love the competition,” Charles said. “You don’t get hit in the face like this on the football field.”

When the combatants regained their feet, Charles backed Jones against the cage and landed two right hands to the jaw. Jones dropped to one knee and absorbed a sharp left to the head. That persuaded the referee to step in and stop the fight, a verdict that left Jones and his First Class MMA camp visibly puzzled.

It was Charlessecond one-sided combat sports victory in a week’s time. He previously delivered a first-round TKO in the amateur boxing ring. Jones suffered his first defeat since making the transition from basketball, which he played professionally in Europe after starring at Bangor’s Husson University.

One look at Dé hAoine official weigh-in suggested that the bout between Roger Ewer (251 punt) and Dustin Freeman (220) might be the typical stand-up, slug-it-out heavyweight affair. Ina áit sin, it turned into a ground-and-pound showcase that was right in Ewer’s wheelhouse. C.J.’s older brother, making his debut in the NEF hexagon at 44 bliain d'aois, hammered out the advantage throughout and earned a TKO via unanswered strikes at 2:31 of the second stanza.

Nate Boucher improved to 2-0 with a first-round stoppage of Jeremiah Barkac, who was making his cage debut. Barkac gained an early advantage in the bantamweight bout with a barrage of strikes, but Boucher cleverly gained leverage with his legs and locked in a triangle choke.

Bhuachan nó a chailleadh, Bangor’s Angela Young announced that her battle with Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga would be the final fight of her career. Borga (6-3) erased any hopes of a Hollywood ending with a decisive TKO at 2:16 an bhabhta oscailte. Óga (2-3), wife of Chris, had never gone less than the distance in any of her prior wins or losses.

In a mutual NEF and MMA debut, Zach Faulkner delighted his home crowd with a second-round victory over David Hart via rear naked choke. An deireadh tháinig ag 1:42.

Jesse Hutchinson also enjoyed a triumphant debut in the amateur ranks. He stopped Anthony LaPointe at 2:43 of the first round in a welterweight skirmish.

NEF also announced that the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company make its long-awaited debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on Dé hAoine, Samhain 3, 2017. Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday, Lúnasa 9 ag www.auramaine.com.

Maidir troideanna Sasana Nua

 

Troideanna Sasana Nua ("NEF") Is troid imeachtaí chun cinn cuideachta. NEF’s mission is to create the highest quality events for New England’s fighters and fans alike. Tá foireann feidhmiúcháin NEF taithí fhairsing i mbainistíocht spóirt a chomhrac, tháirgeadh Imeachtaí, caidreamh leis na meáin, margaíochta, dlí agus fógraíocht.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (Márta 31, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.

 

On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Maine, Brandon “An Cannon” Berry(11-1, 7 Kos) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 Kos). Berry, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.

 

That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Kos), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Kos), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Kos) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “spoiler” go “An Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” an mhí seo caite, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 Kos). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.

 

Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will be Jesse “An Lochlannach” Erickson (6-4) agus Devin Powell (5-1) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.

 

“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview on The MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.

 

Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.

 

This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”

 

Crazy” agus “wilddo not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook OnHarvey (0-0) agus Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage on April 23rd.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate Aaron “Gan staonadh” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) i bout featherweight. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Caleb Hall (6-3) agus Erik Nelson (2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “NEF XX” titim anuas, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Angela Óga(0-1) agus “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

WOMEN’S MMA FIGHT CONFIRMED FOR NEF 22 I LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (Márta 8, 2016) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar ócáid ​​seo chugainn, “NEF 22: GACH ROADS PRÍOMH ANSEO” ar Dé Sathairn, Aibreán 23, 2016 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Níos luaithe inniu, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women’s featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cárta troid. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0) Beidh cath Angela Óga (0-1) at a fight weight of 140-pounds.

 

Hannah Sparrell was introduced to the sport when she began taking her daughter to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes. Sparrell soon found herself training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. She made her in-cage debut last fall against Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-1) ag “NEF XIX” i Lewiston. Sparrell was victorious that evening, scoring a unanimous decision from the judges after an exhausting three-round fight. She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time at “NEF 22.”

 

I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, ar April 23rd, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ Sin á rá, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.

 

Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “NEF XIX.” In a wild, “fight of the nightperformance, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ scórchártaí, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. Ar April 23rd, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.

 

I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” luaite Óga. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ An uair seo, áfach, my hand will be raised.

Lewiston, Maine (Lúnasa 31, 2015) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar naoú mheasctha martial-ealaíon (MMA) imeacht, “NEF XIX,” ar an Satharn, Meán Fómhair 12, 2015 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Óga (0-0) de go bhfuil MMA Óga i Bangor sceidealta a dhéanamh di tús i gcoinne Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-0) sceidealta freisin a dhéanamh di tús i gcoinne Hannah Sparrell (0-0) ó Rang a hAon MMA i Brunswick.

 

Is Angela Óga an bhean chéile de 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,” Dúirt Óga, “ní hamháin sa Cage a thagann12 Meán Fómhair, 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, go raibh sé níos mó faoi buaine trí na constaicí agus ag brú ar mo teorainneacha mar iomaitheoir ar bhealach nach raibh tástáladh. Bhí sé ar tí a chruthú go féin, mo cóistí agus mo teammates go bhfuil mé a thuill mo cheart a chéim sa Cage.”

 

Sa chás san na mná atá caite curtha relegated chun na codanna sideshow agus nuachta na n-imeachtaí spóirt a chomhrac, cosúil le dornálaíocht, Nach bhfuil na mban MMA méadú tagtha ach amháin maidir le stádas comhionann le bhfear MMA, tá sé, i roinnt bealaí, 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, agus a lúthchleasaí is airde a íocadh, is é a mban bantamweight curadh Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 Beidh cárta a bheith ar thús cadhnaíochta na gluaiseachta chun deiseanna do mhná a leathnú ar an leibhéal réigiúnach.

 

“MMA do mhná nach bhfuil mór difriúil ná mar atá sé d'fhir,” luaite Óga. “Is léir, Is MMA spórt fireann den chuid is mó, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Tríd an campa troid mé grappled, sparred agus wrestled le MMA foireann troid an Óga agus bhí siad gan staonadh ar tacúil. Bheith ar cheann de na chéad trodaithe mná as Óga Tá a brúnna cinnte (chomh maith le bheith pósta don Uas. Óga) 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. Tá mé ag súil na mná a chur ar seó mór toisc go bhfuil againn rud éigin a chruthú. Mé tar éis a chur fola, allais agus deora i oiliúint agus creidim tú níos fearr mé ag glacadh le mo opponents a rinneadh mar an gcéanna. Sin á rá, na mná ag dul chun teacht i ndiaidh dó chun plandaí a gceist sa Cage NEF.”

 

Teammate An dá Óga, Kira Innocenti, chomh maith tá a chéile comhraic ag “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, Is cosúil aontú le tuairimí Óga ar an bhfás mear na mban MMA.

 

“Is MMA mBan ar an méadú,” Said Innocenti. “Múineann gach disciplín le rud éigin bean nach bhfuil sí a fhios faoi féin. Feicthe agam é muinín a thógáil i mé féin agus go leor eile. Na mná níos mó ar na mataí, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, agus mé féin a thabhairt dó ár n-uile agus dul chun cogaidh díreach cosúil leis an laochra fireann ag MMA Óga dhéanann. D'oibríomar go dian chun ionadaíocht ar ár seomra aclaíochta. Beidh muid ag troid le bród, paisean, agus leis na coirnéil is láidre ag lorg amach dúinn. Is féidir liom a chinntiú go mbíonn tú go mbeidh bouts na mban a bheith unforgettable.”

 

“Is MMA mBan spórt mhaith ach aon eile,” luaite Reinheimer de Everett, Massachusetts. “Níl sé ar scannán gníomh áit a ritheann an laoch amach isteach na coillte ar feadh trí lá chun oiliúint le máistir healaíona comhraic agus ansin defeats ar arm ar fad. Níl sé ina brawl barra. Níl sé ina luíochán alley ar ais. Tá na mná lúthchleasaithe tromchúiseach a oiliúint díograiseach ar feadh na mblianta ag baint úsáide as an oiliúint is fearr, trealamh agus acmhainní atá ar fáil. Mná a iomaíocht i spóirt a chomhrac a chaitheamh mílte uair an chloig de fola, allais agus deora perfecting a spórt. Déanann siad íobairtí. Ina theannta sin, tá rialacha agus teorainneacha ama agus réamhchúraimí sábháilteachta. Nuair a bhíonn duine éigin cur amach acu ar an smaoineamh na mban MMA, Mé é a chur i gcomparáid go dornálaíochta nó fálú, 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. Mo chéile comhraic agus mé araon as thromchúiseach, campaí hardworking. Tá muid an dá máithreacha agus tógann sé a lán de cinneadh agus tiomáint chun é seo a spórt agus juggling oibre agus leanaí. Tá mé ag obair gan stad gan staonadh le mo fhoireann ó mo troid seo caite chun feabhas a chur ar mo cluiche i ngach gné. Tá mé chomh buíoch as an oiliúint iontach agus teammates ag Sityodtong a bhrú dom chomh dian sin. Meán Fómhair 12, Is féidir leat bheith ag súil le cogadh.”

 

An chuid is mó daoine aonair, idir fir agus mná, 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, sean agus óg, collar gorm agus bhóna bháin, 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, áfach, Tá bitten ag an fabht iomaíochta.

 

“Tugadh isteach mé go dtí an domhan MMA i ndiaidh síniú mo 'níon, suas do ranganna Jiu Jitsu ag smaoineamh go mbeadh sé tairbheach léi as an ghné féinchosanta baint acu leis an spórt,” Chuimhnigh Hanna Sparrell. “Bhreathnaigh mé mar a thit sí i ngrá leis an gcluiche, fháil neart agus muinín, 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, agus ansin ag iarraidh deireadh thiar chun iniúchadh a dhéanamh ar na gnéithe eile den domhan MMA. A bheith sa seomra aclaíochta tar éis éirí mar an dara teach dom agus mo iníon, mo comhpháirtithe oiliúna, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, tá sé ina tástála de athleticism, chomh maith le tástáil tiomáint mheabhrach agus mhothúchánach. Ós rud é á thabhairt isteach chun an domhain healaíona comhraic measctha mé a chur ar mo chorp, croí, agus anam isteach oiliúint, agus tá sé iomaíocht sa bout tábhachtach dom go leor cúiseanna, ní hamháin chun ionadaíocht mé féin agus mo obair chrua, ach freisin chun ionadaíocht a obair chrua ar fad, dúthracht, agus an spreagadh a fuair mé ó mo chairde, teagascóirí, comhpháirtithe oiliúna, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, tá sé go fisiciúil a workout mór, agus tá sé chomh maith le foirm maith de "teiripe" ag deireadh an lae, b'fhéidir, struis. Tá mé go leor mná traein mé leis, ní léir dóibh ag pleanáil ar ag troid, ach is iad na buntáistí a bhaineann le spórt fós ann, agus is breá leo é díreach mar an gcéanna.”

 

Innocenti, ar nós go leor, bhí baint acu gcomhrac spóirt mar bhealach a fháil i, agus fanacht 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.

 

“Tástáil mé féin i measctha bout martial ealaíon is tábhachtach dom i go leor maidir. Dhá bhliain ó shin, Bhí mé róthrom agus ag streachailt chun teacht ar sláintiúil, cosán a chomhlíonadh. Lá amháin, Dhúisigh mé agus ghlac an saol ag an reigns agus i leath na bliana, cailleadh £ 60 ar mo chuid féin. Fháiltigh mé dúshlán sin, éirigh, agus theastaigh ceann eile. Aaron “Gan staonadh” Lacey inis dom faoi MMA Óga agus bhí iallach orm a sheiceáil amach. Tar éis stepping tríd na doirse, triail a bhaint as gach ceann de na ranganna ar, agus a chomhlíonann an teaghlach a rinne sé chomh speisialta, Bhí hooked mé. Rinne mé é a sprioc a bheith ar cheann de na chéad trodaithe mná ar an bhfoireann gcomhrac fhéadfaí a rá an chuid is mó ceannasach i Sasana Nua. Bhí mé i gcónaí ar iomaitheoirí. Bainim taitneamh as dúshlánach mé féin agus teorainneacha atá chreidtear a bheith dodhéanta a bhaint amach ag brú. Ina gcónaí ar an stíl mhaireachtála na n-ealaíon martial measctha is diana. Éilíonn sé níos dúthracht ná mar a shamhlaigh mé riamh agus is féidir. Briseann sé tú, agus Tógann tú ar ais suas i an duine a bhfuil tú go fírinneach. Is é seo an troid tábhachtach toisc go bhfuil mé ag millte le foireann iontach ag mo thaobh atá múinte ag na cóistí is spreagadh agus a spreagadh. Tá rún daingean agam a dhéanamh bródúil as dóibh agus buíochas a ghabháil leo le mo lámh á ardaithe.”

 

“Is Arts Martial Measctha an tástáil deiridh an spiorad an duine ar gach leibhéal: fisiciúil, meabhrach, agus mothúchánach,” Dúirt Reinheimer. “Tá mé a mhian a dhó a fháil amach cé chomh fada agus is féidir liom dul. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, tá mo shaol a bheith teorainn-níos lú. Tá mo shaol ar an mata feabhas ar mo shaol as an mata agus a mhalairt go cruinn. Tá sé seo stripped ar shiúl go léir na distractions gan ghá agus driogtha mo shaol síos go dtí cad ábhair i ndáiríre, isteach agus amach as an fáinne. Dar liom tá sé chabhraigh liom a bheith i bhfad níos gaire do mo féin barántúla. Tá sé an chuid is fearr de na healaíona comhraic ársa agus saol nua-aimseartha.”

 

As na ceithre ban ag troid ar an “NEF XIX” cárta, 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 Lewiston iad ar bís le haghaidh an deis.

 

“Is NEF a chur chun cinn láidir le cáil mhór,” Dúirt Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Ní féidir liom fanacht!”

 

“I mo thuairimse, is féidir leis an lucht leanúna ag súil le seó mór go deimhin,” Exclaimed Sparrell. “Níos minice ná nach bhfuil troideanna na mban ag éirí go fíor-siamsúil, muid ag iarraidh ar ndóigh a chruthú dúinn féin fiú sa spórt feiceálach fir-sheanársa. Is é seo an tús ar feadh triúr as gach ceathrar de na mná ar an gcárta, sin a fhios agam go bhfuil ag dul a bheith ina lán de chroí agus a chinneadh a chaitheamh isteach na troideanna. Tá a fhios agam, go pearsanta, Tá mé an-excited a ionadaíocht a dhéanamh! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; Mé ag faire an oiread sin de na trodaithe idolize mé agus breathnú suas go dtí sa spórt ó na seastáin an Bhainc Androscoggin Colisée, mbeidh an deis a bheith anois amach ann leo i ndáiríre onóir fíor.”

 

“Mar a cur chuige 12ú Meán Fómhair go tapa, Tá mé ag éirí níos corraithe agus réidh chun a fháil ar an Cage,” Dúirt Óga. “Tá sé seo go leor le turas agus tá mé buíoch as an deis a dhéanamh ar mo tús MMA amaitéarach le NEF.”
