Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Marts 13, 2017) – New England Fights (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” på lørdag, April 29, 2017 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (3-2) returns to take on Andre “The Finisher” Belcarris (0-0) på en kamp vægt på 135 pounds.

Leland, a resident of South Portland, Maine, is a mainstay of the NEF cage. He fought his sophomore amateur contest at “NEF I” back in February 2012 and has competed on eight of the promotion’s cards since, including one appearance as a professional boxer. Holding a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, it should come as no surprise that all three of Leland’s professional victories have come by way of submission. He forced veteran Nick Santos to tap to an arm triangle choke last month at “NEF 27.” In doing so, Leland snapped a two-fight losing streak. He will look to stay on the winning track on April 29.

“I’m very excited to get back in the cage once again,” Said Leland. “I want to keep this momentum going. I’m ready for war and putting in more work this year than I ever have before. Be prepared for a hell of a fight – you will be sorry if you miss it! Mother f**king beast mode!”

Andre Belcarris will make his professional debut at “NEF 28,” but he already has a wealth of experience in the MMA cage. He began competing in the sport as an amateur in 2010 and has had more than 30 fights since – an astounding number for an amateur mixed-martial-artist. Belcarris fights out of Bennington, Vermont where he is a member of team Northeast Assassins. In direct contrast to Leland’s mat skills, Belcarris is a striker with 11 knockout wins to his credit in the amateur ranks.

“I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Eli’s caliber,” stated Belcarris when reached for comment. “It means that my time has finally come. Forventer fyrværkeri!”

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (August 18, 2016) - OnSeptember 10, 2016 New England Fights (NEF) returns to Lewiston with its next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of a professional bantamweight mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout to the fight card. Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) har underskrevet at møde Walter Smith Cotito (3-4) på en kamp vægt på 135 pounds.

 

Six of Leland’s combined seven amateur and professional MMA fights have taken place in the NEF cage. The Portland, Maine resident’s only loss to date in NEF was in his last fight against Jay Perrin (2-2) in the spring of 2015. Late last year, Leland made his pro boxing debut in the NEF ring, taking Josh Parker (0-3-1) to a draw on the judges’ scorecards. He has proven to be strong in both his standup and on the mat. Leland, a member of Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy of MMA in Portland, is a dangerous opponent no matter where a fight ends up.

 

“I have been working hard since last year to become better in every aspect of my game,” Said Leland. “I can’t wait to test myself on this tough dude. Good luck, Walter – and prepare yourself for a hell of a show!”

 

Walter Smith Cotito is no stranger to the NEF cage. I september 2013, Cotito shocked Maine fans by submitting former NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Champion Bruce Boyington (13-8) in the first round of a bout at “NEF X.” Senest, Cotito competed at Bellator 144 i Connecticut. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is based out of Team Link in Hooksett, New Hampshire.

 

“I think this kid is really brave to take a fight with me, but I will make sure I’m his worst nightmare,” exclaimed Cotito when reached for comment.

Ny sport, SAMME FIGHTING PASSION FOR JOSH PARKER

Efterlad en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (November 5, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil afholde sit næste arrangement, “NEF XX: En History of Violence” på Lørdag, November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Arrangementet vil funktionen en første for Maine – blandet martial-arts (MMA) anfald og professionelle boksning anfald på den samme begivenhed med en MMA bur og en boksering oprettet side-by-side. In a featured lightweight professional boxing match, Josh Parker (0-1) har underskrevet til ansigt Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (0-0) i en fire-round contest.

 

Mens kampen bliver Parkers første boksekamp med NEF, he is no stranger to longtime fans of the promotion. Parker was a regular on NEF MMA cards during the early days of the company. He put together a record of 4-8 as a professional MMA competitor over the course of five years. Parker feels that he has found his true home not in the MMA cage, men i bokseringen.

 

“Boksning er en bedre egnet til mig, fordi jeg altid har elsket den standup del af MMA,” bemærkede Parker. “Da jeg blev tilbudt Brandon Berry (9-1) kæmpe og begyndte at fokusere på det alene, Jeg vidste, at jeg havde fundet min sande kald. Jeg forlade mit job, begyndte at opbygge en kamp hold, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Jeg vil gerne kæmpe hver par måneder, hvis muligt.”

 

Som bemærket, Parker begyndte sin boksning karriere i foråret 2014 da han accepterede en kamp med Brandon Berry i North Anson, Maine. Parker held his own in the bout, eventually dropping a four-round decision. Fans have speculated that there would be a rematch at some point down the road between the two.

 

“Du ved, folk altid beder om, at, men jeg virkelig ligeglad med at kæmpe Brandon igen,” Said Parker. “Du ser kampen, og fortælle mig, hvordan dommerne kom op med de scoringer, de gjorde. That fight was on five weeks of boxing training. Now I’ve had a year and a half. If he’s standing in the path on the way to the top then so be it, men det er ikke noget, jeg tænker på.”

 

Hvad er der på Parkers sind er hans kamp hold – Ruthless MMA & Boksning. Opened in 2014 og baseret ud af Benton, Maine, Ruthless is one of the standout new teams emerging on the Maine fight scene consisting of scrappy young athletes. In founding the team, Parker er meget klart, at han kun er interesseret i at uddanne dem, der er seriøs omkring at konkurrere som krigere.

 

“Ruthless is different because I’m not in it for the money. I don’t take people who are just trying to get in shape or learn about MMA or boxing. We don’t do ‘classes.’ We fight, hver dag. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, Vi leder efter målstregen.”

 

Desværre for Parker, he has had some trouble finding boxing matches in the past year-and-a-half following the Berry fight. With NEF now operating as an MMA and boxing promotion, Parker, og andre kan lide ham, er bestemt til at drage fordel af virksomhedens stabilitet og konsekvente begivenheder tidsplan.

 

“Det har været meget frustrerende,” sagde Parker for at forsøge at finde boksekampe. “Jeg har prøvet at oprette et par kampe gennem andre kampagner ud af staten, og de har faldet gennem. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for November 21, især at være en del af den første dual MMA og boksning show. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Jeg har gjort noget, men tog siden. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.”

 

Og Parker vil, ingen tvivl, blive testet på November 21 på “NEF XX.” Hans modstander, Elias Leland, er medlem af Jay Jack Academy of MMA i Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards. He is currently 2-1 som en professionel MMA fighter efter at sammensætte en 3-1 rekord som amatør. While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, han har vist meget gode hænder og standup evner til dato i MMA anfald.

 

“Jeg forventer, at være en god kamp for fans,” sagde Parker af den kommende boksekamp med Leland. “I’ve never been one to trash talk before a fight. I’ll let my hands do the talking on November 21. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Det kommer til at blive en spændende kamp.”

 

New England Fights’ næste arrangement, “NEF XX: En History of Violence,” finder sted på November 21, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Arrangementet vil markere første gang i Maine historie et blandet martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed og en professionel boksning begivenhed har fundet sted sammen på samme udstilling. Billetter til “NEF XX” starter ved kun $25 og er der tilbud nu på www.TheColisee.com eller ved at ringe til Colisée box office på 207.783.2009 x 525.

BANTAMWEIGHTS POISED TO STEAL THE SHOW AT NEF XVIII

Efterlad en kommentar

 

 

PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Lewiston, Maine (April 30, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sine attende blandede martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” på Lørdag, Juni 13, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. The contest will feature Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite Tchad “Maskinpistol” Kelly (3-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

“Chad Kelly and Eli Leland are two guys who couldn’t put on a boring fight if they tried,” sagde NEF medejer og initiativtager Nick DiSalvo. “Chad had the ‘Fight of the Night’ on one of the first cards I ever promoted in Massachusetts years ago. I’ve followed his career since and have seen how far he’s come. Eli’s fights always steal the show on the NEF events. Fans will only need the edge of their seats for this one.”

 

Kelly last appeared in the NEF cage in the fall of 2013 på “NEF X.” Den aften, he defeated NEF regular Ernesto Ornelas (1-5) via second-round submission. Kelly has regularly competed in the flyweight 125-pound division throughout his career, but he and his coaches at The Fighting Arts Academy (FAA) in Leominster, Massachusetts decided to make the transition up to bantamweight beginning with the upcoming fight against Leland.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting for NEF in Lewiston, Maine again,” stated Kelly when reached for comment. “I fought for them my second pro fight and I loved the way they treat their fighters and how smooth everything went – mere, getting the ‘W’ was nice. This fight I’m moving up to bantamweight. My coaches and I thought it was the right time. I started fighting at 19 and just have gained weight and have a massive cut to 125, plus I train with good 35ers and 45ers and do better when I’m heavier. Elias Leland is a tough grappler with good submissions. I’m sure he will be tough, but I think I will have an advantage everywhere the fight goes.”

 

Leland, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine, will look to avenge a loss he suffered earlier this month to Jay Perrin (2-0) på “NEF XVII.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) i september 2011. Leland has become known as a finisher over the years, submitting four opponents and defeating one via technical knockout (WHO) at previous NEF events.

 

“I have nothing but respect for anyone that is willing to fight me,” Said Leland. “Men, coming off a loss, I’m pissed and hungry as hell. This will be an exciting fight for anyone that sees it. So you all better be there to see an amazing show.”

 

NEF næste MMA event, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” vil stamme fra Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine juni 13, 2015. Billetter til “NEF XVIII” starter ved kun $25 og er der tilbud nu på www.TheColisee.com eller ved at ringe til Colisee box office på207.783.2009 x 525.
