Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 23, 2016) - New England away (Kaha) mobalik sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa Lewiston, Maine sa Hunyo 18, 2016 uban sa “Kaha 24: PROMISED LAND.” The fight promotion will put on another full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) cage fights and pro boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF executives announced the addition of an amateur lightweight matchup to the MMA portion of the card. After a year’s absence, “Dangerous” Dom “Kamot nga Bato” Cofone (6-5) will return to the NEF MMA cage to face Steve Bang, Jr. (3-5) sa usa ka away gibug-aton sa 155-libra.

 

Dom Cofone was a Class A state wrestling champion out of Westbrook High School in Westbrook, Maine. He entered the MMA ranks in February of 2013. Sukad niana nga panahon, he has been featured on nine NEF cards. Cofone’s last appearance in the promotion was in June 2015 sa “NEF 18.” Nga gabii, Cofone submitted Jason Lachance (2-3) sa ikaduhang round. He is currently a member of the Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine, training under MMA pioneers Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner.

 

“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to step into the NEF cage once again,” said Cofone. “With my coaches and teammates from the Academy behind me, I know I’ll be able to have a great performance. June 18th is going to be an awesome night for the NEF fans and an even better night for the Westbrook wrestling alumni!”

 

Steve Bang is a member of the famous Bang fighting family of Auburn, Maine. Sa Hunyo 18, he will join his father and brothers in the NEF MMA cage. Bang wrestled as an independent during his years at Edward Little High School in Auburn, Maine. He is currently a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Bang will look to rebound from a second-round submission loss to Fabian Miranda (2-0) last week at “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts.

 

“I’m super pumped to fight with all of my family,” Miingon bang. “It’s always a great experience. This past year has been a rough year for me in many different ways and I feel like I am just – as of a month or two ago – coming out of it. I feel great in all aspects; sa hunahuna, sa espirituhanon nga paagi, and physically. I am fired up and ready to do battle with so much of my family doing what Bangs’ do just fires me up more. I’m excited to fight alongside Shawn again who I haven’t seen sa duha ka tuig and have only spoken to three times. I’m excited to fight Dom. I think it will be a great match up. I don’t get to fight many wrestlers. And I want to thank him for the opportunity to allow me to do what I love to do.”

MMA ATHLETIX PROSPECT TO MEET RETURNING FAN FAVORITE AT NEF XVIII

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 28, 2015) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, ang naghupot sa iyang ikanapulo ug walo nga mixed-martial arts (MMA) event, “NEF XVIII: Gihimo sa Amerika,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. Maora’g laban kana Jason “Ikaduhang Chance” Lachance (1-1) taking on the returning “Dangerous” Dom “Kamot nga Bato” Cofone (5-5) sa usa ka away gibug-aton sa 155-libra.

 

Jason Lachance of Brunswick, Maine made his MMA debut in May of 2014 sa “Lisa XIII.” He dropped a decision that night, but Lachance impressed many with his performance against the more-experienced Jarrod Tyler (3-1). He would return to the NEF cage this past February with a victory over Steve Bang, Jr. (3-3) pinaagi sa unanimous decision. Lachance is a product of Ryan Cowette’s (2-2) MMA Athletix gym and Victory Church ministry, both located in Bath, Maine.

 

“God has blessed me with another opportunity to step inside the NEF cage and do what I love to do,” miingon Lachance. “An opportunity I am truly grateful for. I am focused on the task at hand and on June 13th, I will be ready for whatever comes my way.”

 

A true veteran of the NEF amateur ranks, Dom Cofone has produced many memorable moments in the promotion’s cage over the years. Cofone won a Class A State Championship in 2001 wrestling for Westbrook High School in Westbrook, Maine. He put together a stellar record of 117-28 during his high school wrestling career. Cofone has taken the last few months off from MMA competition to concentrate on coaching the Westbrook youth wrestling team. With his previous gym, Balanced Ground MMA, on hiatus, Cofone has recently begun training at Jay Jack (12-7) and Amanda Buckner’s (11-5) Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine.

 

“I took some time off to help coach my son’s youth wrestling team – shout out to all the Westbrook Wolfpack kids,” said Cofone. “I also needed to heal up a bit from a very active two years in and out of the cage. I’m feeling rejuvenated. I just started training back at the Academy and am super excited to learn as much as I can from such a great team. I’ve met Jason before – he seems like a really great guy. I was at both of his fights, so I know he’s going to be a tough-as-nails, game opponent. I was in the stands for the last NEF event and it just didn’t seem right without ‘Dominick The Donkey’ ringing out of the speakers. This is a great match-up for the fans and I hope to see the Androscoggin Bank Colisee packed. Thank you to everyone who comes out to support local MMA.”

Kaha ang sunod nga MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Gihimo sa Amerika” ang maggikan gikan sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine sa Hunyo 13, 2015.
