PROFESSIONAL FEATHERWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO NEF MMA CARD

Out 27, 2016 FNU47 Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Out 26, 2016) -Nouvo England Goumen (Nef) today announced the addition of a professional featherweight mixed-martial-arts (Mma) bout to the fight promotion’s next event, “Nef 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Arawon “Inplakabl” Lacey (2-0) te siyen nan figi Cory Jijman (0-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

Lacey, the former NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Champion, recently signed a multi-fight developmental deal with the fight promotion. He amassed an amateur record of 6-1 prior to turning professional. Since entering the pro ranks, Lacey is undefeated. His pro debut saw him submit veteran Derek Shorey (3-7) in the first round last April. Earlier this month, Lacey waged, ak te genyen, a war with John Santos (3-4) before UFC President Dana White in Bangor at the “NEF Presents Dana Blan: Lookin’ for a Fight” taping. Many observers agree that Lacey, a product of Young’s MMA, is but a few victories away from fighting permanently in front of White.

“I’m very happy to be signing with NEF,” said Lacey. “It’s a big step forward in my career and it shows that they have the utmost confidence in my ability! My last fight was an absolute war, but I was fortunate enough to get out of it without any serious injuries. If I’m healthy, I’m fighting–it’s my passion! I’m anxious to welcome Cory to the pro ranks. He has a dangerous skill set that has to be acknowledged and respected. Sa yo te di, so do I! I like to be the guy who comes in and puts on a fight that fans don’t forget and that is exactly what I will do Septanm 10.”

Cory Trial makes his professional debut after a memorable amateur career with NEF. Nan mwa jen 2015, Trial scored the fastest knockout in NEF history when he rocked Corey Hinkley (2-4) a mere seven-seconds into the first round. In his final amateur performance, the 41-year-old Trial defeated Angelo Rizzitello (0-1) via split decision this past spring. He is a member of the tough, gritty team of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based out of Benton, Maine.

“I wanna thank NEF for giving me the opportunity to take the next step in my career,” di Jijman. “My coach and I have been talking and it’s time. We’ve been putting the work in and I’m ready to take the next step. This fight will really tell me where I’m at. Aaron is a well rounded fighter that likes to push the pace and I’ll be right there looking to do the same! pa manke li – li nan pral fè fedatifis!”

Jijman an ap vini sou yon gwo genyen nan “Nef XVIII Atik” mwa pase a. He knocked out Corey Hinkley (2-4) in just seven seconds of the first round. In doing so, 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 & Boksè nan Benton, Maine. He is confident that he will repeat his knockout performance on Velado at “Nef XIX.”

“Mwen se eksite yo ka resevwa tounen nan kalòj la,” di Jijman. “Having a seven second knockout and breaking the NEF record was nice, men li pa t 'ase. I’ve been busting my ass in the gym with the best coach and I’m ready for anything – men li la inevitab. Sa a batay pral fini menm jan an yon sèl ki sot pase a te fè sa.”

Pandan ke Rafael Velado ka fè ofisyèl li mma premye a “Nef XIX,” he is no stranger to combat sports. Velado is an accomplished practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ).

“Li te difisil jwenn yon amatè ki pral pran yon batay kont yon senti nwa BJJ, so I decided to call out the guy who is riding high from an impressive victory,” Di Velado. “Mwen si ke li te santi l irézistibl kounye a, e ke ta dwe fè sa a batay trè enteresan. I don’t know if I would call it a classic striker versus grappler match-up, men si sa a, se li montre kouman li a voye bòdwo bay konpayi, Mwen pa fache a sa.”

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Me 1, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made in America,” sou Samdi, Jen 13, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. The bout will feature Corey Hinkley (2-3) kont Cory Jijman (0-1) at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

Cory Trial made his NEF MMA debut this past February at “Nef XVI.” While Trial came out on the losing end of the fight, he showed powerful striking skills in a wild slugfest with Ricky Dexter (3-0). It is a fighting style that Trial and his teammates at Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, Maine have become known for. It is a style that has also produced some of the most memorable fights on the last several NEF events. Ruthless head coach Josh Parker (4-8) is confident in Trial’s ability to finish the bout coming up on Jen 13.

“When Cory walked into my gym, I knew I had something special,” Di Parker. “The guy is an animal, and in June he will be looking to show everyone that in his last fight the lights killed him. This fight won’t be going out of the first round.”

“Mwen eksite pou sa a batay,” exclaimed Trial. “Excited to get another chance to show people who I am as a fighter. Dènye fwa, I was overwhelmed with the lights and the crowd. Fwa sa a,, the real Cory will be in the cage, and I’ll be looking for the finish.”

When they meet at “Nef XVIII Atik,” it will have been nine months since the last time Trial’s opponent, Corey Hinkley, stepped in the cage to compete. After starting his amateur career at 2-1, Hinkley has dropped his last two in a row. He and his coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), Izayi Erickson (3-3), say that Hinkley has been training harder than ever for his return and has put personal issues behind him since his last appearance for NEF.

“I’ve had a lot of personal things going on in my life in the past, but I’m now able to train the way I’ve been needing to and I’m coming back stronger than ever,” said Hinkley.

“I have never seen Corey so focused,” stated Erickson. “He’s training harder than he has for any of his previous fights, and I can’t wait to watch him do his thing in June!”
