NEF ANNOUNCES THE FIRST PRO FIGHT SIGNED FOR DEBUT CARD IN ORONO

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Orono, Maine (Julho 11, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Hoje cedo, NEF announced the first professional fight signed for the card. The Jamaican ShamrockRasRasquatchHylton (4-2) vai assumir Chris Sarro (0-0) em um ataque cruiserweight.

Ras Hylton is coming off a big win last April over Charles Penn (0-1) em Portland, Maine. The doctor stopped that fight in the first round when a cut over Penn’s eye could not be closed. Hylton opened the gash with a straight right hand that left blood pouring down to the mat.

Hylton is a mainstay of the NEF heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. The 6’6athlete holds a second-degree black belt in Shotokan karate. He currently trains with Dragon Fire Martial Arts in Portland and First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

I am quite fortunate to be at the point in my career when I’m called upon to introduce new professionals to our work experience,” said Hylton.  “Boxers like my opponent offer a great risk with their familiarity in the pocket and at distance, so of course we’ll both be more than happy to trade our best shots for the win! I love the arts, but it’s in the fighting aspects of martial arts that competitors like us truly live and find purpose. So we train like our lives depend on it, because to us, that’s how it is. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, Chris. MMA 101 is now in session.

As noted by Hylton, his opponent Chris Sarro may be a newcomer to the MMA cage, but he is no stranger to the world of combat sports. Sarro made a name for himself as an amateur boxer with a record of 7-1. He captured the 2019 Northern New England Golden Gloves championship in the superheavyweight division. A native of Ellsworth, Maine, Sarro currently represents Acadia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I’m just excited to fight close to home,” said Sarro.  “Orono feels like my backyard. Come September 7th, I’m going to show the world there’s a new heavyweight in town. This is my time.”

“But I’m not focused on him, realmente. I don’t care what he does, what he eats or whether he sleeps a lot. I’m mostly interested in myself and what I do. Because I know that if I give everything, I’ll win.

 

 

 

“What am I bringing to the tournament? My faith for the most part, my faith that I’m going to win and I know there can only be one champion.”

 

 

 

Vlasov, a fighter with success at multiple weights, is well prepared for the challenge.

NEF MAKES HISTORY WITH NEW WEIGHT DIVISION AND TITLE FIGHT

Portland, Maine (Outubro 15, 2018) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” no sábado, Novembro 17 na Aura em Portland, Maine. Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional cruiserweight championship bout to the card. The Jamaican ShamrockRasRasquatchHylton(3-1) will meet undefeated Yorgan De Castro (2-0) to crown the first-ever NEF Professional Cruiserweight Champion.

The fight will officially give birth to the brand-new NEF cruiserweight division. This bout, as well as future bouts in the weight class, will take place at the 225-pound limit. The division, which sits between light-heavyweight and heavyweight, was approved as an official weight class for MMA by the Association of Boxing Commissions at their annual conference in July 2017. NEF will be one of the first promotions in the country to institute a cruiserweight division.

The adoption of new weight classes at the highest levels of the sport in order to account for the wide gaps in the current championship class structure is inevitable—we’re just getting there first,” disse NEF co-proprietário e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “There’s no more perfect way to usher in this new era of the 225-pound weight class than with a championship fight on the year-end “Battle for the Gold” show between two high-caliber, hungry opponents that NEF fans are very familiar with. This action-packed event was tailor made to include this breakthrough boutit’s just one more element to an already blistering card. Fans can be certain that they will get their money’s worth on November 17th.

Ras Hylton will return to the NEF cage after nearly a year-and-a-half absence. He is a five-fight veteran of the NEF cage where he is undefeated with three wins as an amateur and two as a professional. Em agosto passado, Hylton knocked out veteran Eric Bedard (6-8) in Rhode Island with a single elbow strike after absorbing a barrage of shots from Bedard that had little-to-no effect. Standing at a towering 6’6,Hylton holds a black belt in Taekwondo. He trains with both First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine and Dragon Fire Martial Arts of South Portland.

“I’m ecstatic about the response to my FaceTime call to action, and that I get to kick off my cruiserweight run back home,” said Hylton. “I’ve spoken at length about my dream to elevate the draw and excitement to see the heavier divisions, so I thank (NEF owners) Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo for working with me again, and launching the title here with NEF! Yorgan is a good strong fighter with heavy hands that I saw work against my best friend Nick Gulliver in another belt war. Now I move to follow ‘The Guardian’sexample, and keep the inaugural strap right here in Maine. Thanks for staying with us everyone!"

As Hylton noted, this will not be the first time Yorgan De Castro has come to Maine looking to take gold back with him to Massachusetts. De Castro faced Hylton’s teammate Nick Gulliver for the NEF Amateur Heavyweight Title in a losing effort at “NEF 26” almost two years to the day he will fight Hylton.

I’m very excited to become the first 225-pound NEF champion,” said De Castro. “We will be sure to put on a great show for the fans. I’ve been through some very dark moments in my all life and on November 17 I’ll make sure I bring all my demons with me and Ras will have to deal with them. This fight will be absolutely epic.

A native of Portugal now residing in the fighting city of Brockton, Massachusetts, De Castro has had success to date in his professional career. He has finished both of his previous opponents via technical knockout at light-heavyweight. For fighters like De Castro and Hylton, the creation of a cruiserweight division in NEF opens a new realm of career possibilities that did not exist before. De Castro was one of the first individual to respond positively to Hylton’s Face Time video calling for the creation of a cruiserweight division.

I’m excited to make my NEF debut as a professional fighter in the inaugural cruiserweight division,” De Castro continued. “This is a huge opportunity for fighters and I’m looking to make my mark in that division. I have nothing but respect for Ras—he’s a class act man and very tough—but he has never faced a more dedicated and focused Yorgan and on November 17, I’ll be victorious and write my name in NEF history.

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” will see the company make its return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday, Novembro 17, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.AuraMaine.com.

LAS VEGAS (Julho 3, 2018) – “O maior evento do YouTube na história da Internet”, encabeçado pelo confronto final entre as estrelas do YouTube KSI e Logan Paul, pode realmente acabar produzindo um campeão mundial em potencial.

 

 

 

Técnico principal da KSI e destaque do boxe amador do Reino Unido Viddal Riley se tornará profissional como cruiserweight após uma carreira amadora de 49 lutas que incluiu vários títulos regionais e uma medalha de prata no Campeonato Europeu de Juniores. Riley passará para o nível profissional com Jeff Mayweather como seu treinador e será gerenciado por Amer Abdallah, que mais notavelmente trabalha com o campeão mundial de duas divisões Badou Jack.

 

 

 

“Estou ansioso para aproveitar esta grande oportunidade de me tornar profissional e começar esta jornada sob a tutela de Jeff Mayweather,” disse Riley. “Ter Amer Abdallah a bordo me enche de confiança de que podemos assumir a divisão cruiserweight e fazer história.”

 

 

 

Riley visitou recentemente Las Vegas junto com KSI em março, onde conheceu Mayweather no Mayweather Boxing Club. Enquanto seu foco principal era preparar seu lutador para sua luta tão esperada contra Logan Paul, Riley aproveitou a oportunidade lutando com vários cruiserweights locais, incluindo o invicto Andrew “The Beast” Tabiti.

 

 

 

“Combater com Viddal era como se olhar no espelho,” disse Tabiti. “Ele é muito inteligente e fiquei impressionado com sua velocidade e potência. Estou muito interessado em vê-lo crescer como lutador profissional.”

 

 

 

Mayweather ficou imediatamente impressionado com o conjunto de habilidades que viu de Riley, “Acho que ele tem potencial para se tornar campeão mundial em um período de tempo muito curto. Ele tem mãos extremamente rápidas e poder explosivo, mas sua contínua sede de conhecimento foi o que mais me impressionou.”

 

 

 

“Viddal tem o potencial de causar um impacto duradouro neste esporte,” Disse Abdallah. “Ele possui as habilidades para fazer barulho significativo no boxe, juntamente com o alcance da mídia social para se conectar com milhões. É o sonho de um promotor.”
