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.

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. Cia siab tias foob pob hluav taws!”

Lewiston, Maine (Kaum Ib Hlis Ntuj 5, 2015) - Tshiab England Fights (NEF), America lub xov tooj-ib regional sib ntaus qib, yuav tuav nws tom ntej no kev tshwm sim, “NEF XX: Ib tug ua phem” rau Saturday, Kaum Ib Hlis Ntuj 21, 2015 nyob rau Androscoggin txhab nyiaj Colisée nyob rau hauv Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed martial--arts (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. In a featured lightweight professional boxing match, Josh Parker (0-1) tau kos npe rau lub ntsej muag Elias “Txaus ntshai nas” Leland (0-0) nyob rau hauv ib plaub-round contest.

 

Thaum lub bout yuav Parker tus thawj boxing match nrog 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, tab sis nyob rau hauv lub boxing nplhaib.

 

“Boxing yog ib tug zoo dua haum rau kuv vim hais tias kuv yeej ib txwm hlub lub standup ib feem ntawm MMA,” sau Parker. “Thaum twg kuv twb muaj cov txiv hmab txiv ntoo Brandon (9-1) sib ntaus sib tua thiab pib xav txog kev cai uas ib leeg, Kuv paub kuv tau pom kuv lub yeej muaj tseeb hauj lwm dab tsi. Kuv txiav luam yeeb kuv txoj hauj lwm, pib tsim tau ib tug sib ntaus pab, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Kuv xav mus tua txhua txhua ob peb lub hlis yog tias ua tau.”

 

Raws li sau tseg, Parker pib nws boxing hauj lwm nyob rau hauv lub caij nplooj ntoos hlav ntawm 2014 thaum nws txais ib bout nrog Brandon Berry nyob rau hauv 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.

 

“Koj paub, tus neeg ib txwm hais tias, tab sis kuv yeej tsis quav ntsej txog sib ntaus sib tua Brandon dua,” hais tias Parker. “Koj saib cov sib ntaus thiab qhia rau kuv yuav ua li cas lub tsev hais plaub tuaj mus nrog cov qhab nia uas lawv tau ua. 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, tab sis nws tsis yog ib yam dab tsi kuv tab tom xav txog.”

 

Yuav ua li cas yog nyob rau Parker lub siab yog nws sib ntaus pab – Phem MMA & Boxing. Opened in 2014 thiab raws li tawm ntawm 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 yog hais tseeb tias nws yog tsuas xav nyob rau hauv kev cob qhia cov neeg uas yog yam hais txog sib tw raws li neeg tua hluav taws.

 

“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, txhua txhua hnub. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, peb nyob nraum nrhiav rau lub finish.”

 

Tu siab rau 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, thiab lwm tus neeg nyiam nws, yog destined tau txais txiaj ntsim los ntawm lub tuam txhab kev ruaj ntseg thiab zoo ib yam txheej xwm sij hawm.

 

“Nws tau heev frustrating,” hais tias Parker sim mus nrhiav boxing ntais. “Kuv twb sim teem tau ib ob peb fights los ntawm lwm yam promotions tawm ntawm lub xeev thiab lawv twb poob los ntawm. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for Kaum ib hlis 21, tshwj xeeb tshaj yog yuav tsum tau ib feem ntawm cov thawj dual MMA thiab boxing qhia. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Kuv twb ua tsis muaj dab tsi tab sis tsheb ciav hlau txij li thaum. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.”

 

Thiab Parker yuav, tsis muaj kev ua xyem xyav, tau mus soj ntsuam rau Kaum Ib Hlis Ntuj 21 ntawm “NEF XX.” Nws tus nrog sib ntaus, Elias Leland, yog ib tug tswv cuab ntawm Jay Jack tus Academy ntawm MMA nyob rau hauv Portland, Maine.

While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, nws tau ua nws zoo heev ob txhais tes thiab standup muaj peev xwm rau hnub nyob rau MMA bouts.

I’ll let my hands do the talking on Kaum ib hlis 21. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Nws tseem yuav mus yuav ib tug muaj siab sib ntaus.”

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 ntawm “NEF X.” That night, 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.

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) ntawm “NEF XVII.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) nyob rau hauv lub Cuaj Hli Ntuj 2011.
