HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Melawan KAD

Lewiston, Maine (Mac 10, 2016) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan acara akan datang, “NEF 22: Semua jalan menuju SINI” pada Sabtu, April 23, 2016 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Awal hari ini, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” kad perjuangan. Nick Gulliver (2-0) akan memenuhi Dave 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 – Brazil Jiu Jitsu- (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) pada pusingan pertama. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) 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, Dave 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. Jadi, 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) di “NEF 21” bulan lepas.

 

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.

Perang mulut OVER HEAVYWEIGHT FIGHT TAJUK DI NEF XX

Lewiston, Maine (September 17, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan acara akan datang, “NEF XX: SEJARAH KEGANASAN” pada Sabtu, November 21, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine.

As announced this past Sabtu malam di “NEF XIX,” Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) dijadual mempertahankan NEF MMA Amatur Heavyweight Tajuk petang itu terhadap cabaran Dave Smith (2-0).

 

Leahy memenangi gelaran heavyweight amatur yang julung kali diadakan di “NEF XVIII” Jun yang lepas apabila menewaskan Smith Berserkers MMA rakan sepasukan Ryan Glover (2-1) melalui keputusan sebulat suara. 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) di Auburn, Maine dan MMA muda di Bangor, Maine.

 

Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” memujuk Leahy marah. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Semoga berjaya, I’ll see you in November.

 

Dave Smith membuat debut MMA ini musim bunga lalu, sekurang- “NEF XVII” di Lewiston. That night, menewaskan Sonny Spratt (0-2) dengan terlebih dahulu pusingan kalah mati teknikal (WHO). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” pada bulan Jun. Kali ini, ia Gravin Guillen (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 November 21 di Lewiston.

 

“Pertama, Saya ingin mengucapkan terima kasih kepada semua yang terlibat dalam membuat perjuangan ini berlaku,” kata Smith. “Saya pasti ia tidak mudah untuk mendapatkan Billy melakukan pada bulan November, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, termasuk Mr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Saya katakan secara terus kepada Billy–bersedia dan membawa tali pinggang saya.”
