Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 13, 2017) – New England Goumen (Nef) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “Nef 28: INVINCIBLE” nan Samdi, Avril 29, 2017 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Eli “Danje sourit” Leland (3-2) returns to take on Lòt “The Finisher” Belcarris (0-0) nan yon pwa batay nan 135-liv.

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 Avril 29.

“I’m very excited to get back in the cage once again,” Di 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. Atann fedatifis!”

LELAND TO FACE RETURNING BELLATOR VETERAN AT NEF 25

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Out 18, 2016) - SouSeptanm 10, 2016 New England Goumen (Nef) returns to Lewiston with its next event, “Nef 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional bantamweight mixed-martial-arts (Mma) bout to the fight card. Eli “Danje sourit” Leland (2-1) te siyen al kontre Walter Smith Cotito (3-4) nan yon pwa batay nan 135-liv.

 

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’ performance. 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,” Di 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. Nan mwa septanm 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.” Pi resamman, Cotito competed at Bellator 144 nan Connecticut. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is based out of Team Link in Hooksett, New Hampshire.

NEW SPORT, MENM pasyon Goumen pou JOSH PARKER

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Novanm 5, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe evènman pwochen li yo, “Nef XX: Yon istwa de VYOLANS” sou Samdi, Novanm 21, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – melanje-masyal 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) te siyen nan figi Eli “Danje sourit” Leland (0-0) nan yon konkou kat-wonn.

 

Pandan ke bout a pral Parker nan premye match boksè ak 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 nan bag la boksè.

 

“Bòks se yon pi bon anfòm pou m 'paske mwen te toujou te renmen pati nan standeup nan mma,” te note Parker. “Lè yo te ofri mwen Brandon Berry a (9-1) goumen ak te kòmanse konsantre sou ki pou kont li, Mwen te konnen mwen te jwenn apèl vre mwen. Mwen kite travay mwen, te kòmanse bati yon ekip batay, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Mwen ta renmen al goumen chak mwa koup si sa posib.”

 

Jan yo note sa, Parker te kòmanse karyè boksè l 'nan sezon prentan an nan 2014 lè li te aksepte yon bout ak Brandon Berry nan 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.

 

“Ou konnen, moun ki toujou mande ki, men mwen reyèlman pa pran swen sou kouman pou konbat Brandon ankò,” Di Parker. “Ou gade batay la epi di m 'ki jan jij yo te vini ak nòt yo yo te fè. 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 li la pa yon bagay mwen ap panse sou yo.”

 

Ki sa ki se sou tèt Parker a se ekip batay l ' – San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè. Opened in 2014 ak ki baze soti nan 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 se trè klè ke se li ki sèlman ki enterese nan fòmasyon moun ki grav sou konpetisyon kòm avyon de gè.

 

“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, chak jou. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, nou ap chèche pou fini an.”

 

Malerezman pou 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, ak lòt moun renmen l ', yo destine yo benefisye de estabilite ak evènman ki konsistan orè yo nan konpayi an.

 

“Li te trè fwistre,” di Parker nan ap eseye jwenn boksè alimèt. “Mwen te eseye mete kanpe yon batay koup nan lòt pwomosyon soti nan leta ak yo te tonbe a. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for Novanm 21yèm, espesyalman yo dwe yon pati nan premye doub mma ak boksè montre nan. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Mwen te fè pa gen anyen men tren depi. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.”

 

Apre sa, Parker pral, pa gen dout, fè tès sou Novanm 21 nan “Nef XX.” Opozan li, Eli Leland, se yon manm nan Akademi Jay Jack a nan mma nan Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards. He is currently 2-1 kòm yon pwofesyonèl mma avyon de gè apre mete ansanm yon 3-1 dosye kòm yon amatè. While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, li te montre men trè bon ak kapasite standeup nan dat nan mma epizod.

 

“Mwen atann mwen li nan dwe batay la byen mennen pou fanatik yo,” di Parker nan match la boksè kap vini ak Leland. “I’ve never been one to trash talk before a fight. I’ll let my hands do the talking on Novanm 21yèm. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Li k ap pase yo dwe genyen yon batay enteresan.”

 

New England Goumen’ evènman pwochèn, “Nef XX: Yon istwa de VYOLANS,” pran plas sou Novanm 21, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The event will mark the first time in Maine history a mixed-martial-arts (Mma) event and a professional boxing event have taken place together on the same show.

BANTAMWEIGHTS POISED TO STEAL THE SHOW AT NEF XVIII

Kite yon kòmantè

 

 

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Avril 30, 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 a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. The contest will feature Eli “Danje sourit” Leland (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite Chad “Machin zam” 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,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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 nan “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.

 

“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 – plis, 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) nan “Nef ksvii.” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) nan mwa septanm nan 2011. Leland has become known as a finisher over the years, submitting four opponents and defeating one via technical knockout (KI MOUN KI) at previous NEF events.

 

“I have nothing but respect for anyone that is willing to fight me,” Di Leland. “Sepandan, 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.”

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 12, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, retounen nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine sou Avril 11, 2015 ak disetyèm melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman. Earlier today, the company announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. Eli “Danjre Mouse” Leland (2-0) ap pran sou Jay Perrin (1-0) nan yon pwa batay nan 135-liv.

 

Yon pi renmen nan Maine fanatik batay, Eli Leland tren soti nan Jay Jack ak Akademi Amanda Buckner a nan mma nan Portland, Maine. He made his professional debut in the NEF MMA cage last fall, bat Brandon Bushaw (1-1) via submission in the third round. He would follow up that victory with another submission win just a few weeks later, fè kout travay nan Jimmy Alexander (1-7) nan Lewiston, Maine. After taking the first quarter of 2015 koupe soti nan konpetisyon, Leland sanble pou pi devan pou resevwa tounen nan kalòj la nef mma.

 

“I’m pleased to be fighting for NEF for my third pro fight,” Di Leland. “I train every aspect of the fight and make a lot of tough sacrifices to stay focused and ready. Avèk ki yo te di, I will be ready for my next opponent and look forward to meeting him in the cage.”

 

Perrin is a product of John Fain’s Boston BJJ/Team Triumph. Kòm yon amatè, Perrin mete tèt yo ansanm yon bèl 5-1 dosye. He was the number-one ranked amateur bantamweight in the Northeast less than a year ago. Perrin’s sole previous NEF MMA appearance was a winning effort against Nick Spencer (5-4) nan mwa fevriye 2013. The fight was part of an amazing six-fight win streak that Perrin has rode into the professional ranks. He will look to add another notch in his win column on Avril 11 lè li satisfè Leland.

 

“Mwen vrèman eksite yo dwe ap resevwa tounen nan kalòj la,” Di Perrin. “Eli se yon advèsè jwèt. I know he’s going to come prepared and ready to go. But I’ve only become a more dangerous animal with my time off, li se jis yon obstak nan chemen mwen. I’m coming to punish everyone that stands across from me.”
