Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Març 10, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” a Dissabte, Abril 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cartellera. Nick Gulliver (2-0) es reunirà David Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – 1 brasiler Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) en la primera ronda. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (QUI) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, David Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Així, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) a “NEF 21” mes passat.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

GUERRA DE PARAULES ES DESFERMA SOBRE títol pesat LLUITA A NEF XX

Lewiston, Maine (Setembre 17, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF XX: Una història de violència” a Dissabte, Novembre 21, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixta d'arts marcials (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Dissabte nit en “NEF XIX,” Porra “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) està programat per defensar la NEF MMA Amateur títol pesat de la nit contra el desafiament de David Smith (2-0).

 

Leahy va guanyar el títol de pes pesat d'aficionats inaugural a “NEF XVIII” el juny passat quan va derrotar Berserkers MMA company d'equip de Smith Ryan Glover (2-1) per decisió unànime. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “NEF XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) a Auburn, Maine i MMA de Young a Bangor, Maine.

 

“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” preguntar a un Leahy enfurismat. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”

 

David Smith va fer el seu debut en MMA aquesta primavera passada en “NEF XVII” a Lewiston. That night, derrotar a Sonny Spratt (0-2) per nocaut tècnic en la primera ronda (QUI). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” al juny. Aquesta vegada, era Gravin Guillén (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy on Novembre 21 a Lewiston.

 

“Primer, M'agradaria donar les gràcies a tots els involucrats en la presa d'aquesta baralla,” va dir Smith. “Estic segur que no era fàcil d'aconseguir Billy per cometre per a novembre, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, incloent Sr.. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Jo dic directament a Billy–prepara't i portar el meu cinturó.”
