YOUNG’S & FIRST CLASS MEET IN SECOND TITLE FIGHT AT NEF 25

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 28, 2016) – Less than 24-hours after the announcement of the amateur light-heavyweight title fight between Young’s MMA’s Victor Irwin (2-0) and First Class MMA’s Nick Shea (2-0), fight promotion New England Fights (Nef) released a second championship bout between the two gyms at “Nef 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Undefeated Rafael “Air Guard” Velado (3-0), Shea’s teammate at First Class MMA, se pwograme fè fas a Jimmy Jackson (3-2), a teammate of Irwin at Young’s MMA, for the vacant NEF mixed-martial-arts (Mma) amateur lightweight title. The title was previously held by Josh Harvey (1-0) of Young’s MMA and vacated last April when he moved up to the professional ranks.

 

“Premye a tout, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” Di Velado. “There are other promotions in New England, but nobody puts on a show like NEF. I’ve made it very clear that I am here to fight the toughest guys I can and once again I’m getting my way.”

 

In Velado’s last fight, he took on and defeated Mike Peitersen (3-1). In doing so, Velado handed him the first loss of his career. Peitersen is another teammate of Jimmy Jackson at Young’s MMA.

 

“Leading up to the Mike Peitersen fight, he and I respectfully challenged each other to train hard and bring it,” Velado continued. “I believe that we did that and then some. Now I have another Young’s fighter in front of me and I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Jackson has been looking good in his last few outings and I believe we are a good match-up. I see a trend of BJJ players who come over into MMA and think they are just going to jits their way through every fight. I can assure you that I am not that guy and you will see a constant evolution of skills in my fights.”

 

Jackson will have the opportunity to gain a measure of revenge for his team against Velado. After starting his amateur career at 1-2, Jackson has won his last two in a row, including a submission victory over Kris Welch (0-1) nan “NEF 16” ane pase a.

 

“Fighting Raf is a huge opportunity for me – an opportunity I am very grateful for,” said Jackson when reached for comment. “This is the time for me to show how far I’ve come and how much time and work Chris Young (Young’s MMA head coach) and the rest of the coaching staff and team have put into making me the best version of myself. Mwen fè sa pou yo, my team and my family.”

 

“I am pumped to be fighting alongside my First Class MMA brothers and sisters in September and I will be so proud to hand that 155 NEF Championship belt to John Raio (First Class MMA head coach) and tell him, ‘There’s more where that came from,'” said Velado in closing. “As far as ‘Heroes & Villains,’ I believe every man or woman who steps in that cage is a hero, but you have to have a little villain inside you to do what’s necessary to win.”

 

pwochen evènman New England Goumen ', "nèf 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, Septanm 10, 2016 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine.

FIRST CLASS mma etap ostil kontwòl nan nef XX KAT amateur

Premye Gwoup

Lewiston, Maine (Oktòb 7, 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. On the amateur portion of the fight card, Premye klas mma ekip Jan Raio la nan Brunswick, Maine pral voye pa mwens pase kat konpetitè nan kalòj la nef ke aswè.

 

Toujou relativman nan anfans li, Te jimnastik Raio la grandi, tou de Imaje ak literalman, since its inception in 2013. Pi resamman, ekip la deplase nan yon plus, larger space at Fort Andross in Brunswick. With his own base in wrestling, Raio te gen tou dènyèman te ajoute fòmatè ak klas nan boza diferan disiplin masyal yo elaji aprantisaj la nan elèv li.

 

“Mwen te gen yon vizyon lè m 'louvri jimnastik la yo dwe sòt de yon University of melanje masyal atizay aprantisaj,” Di Ray. “A school that included all of the different components of MMA and fitness so that students could pick and chose classes they were interested in. We are adding another fitness class this month and a yoga class soon. Having the same instructor teach everything can be boring to some and instructors that teach every night can burn out. Gen kèk lekòl gen yon sèl enstriktè ki santi l yo konnen lit, BJJ (Brezilyen jyu-jitsu), kikboksin, karate, judo, elatriye. byen ase yo anseye yo tout nan yon nivo segondè. Si ou limite fòmasyon ou nan sa yon moun konnen, you can only learn as much as that one individual is able to relay to you. We have a black belt that teaches BJJ-Tim Fawber, yon senti nwa Kempo ki anseye frape -Shawn Tardif, yon boxer pro ki anseye boksè- James Carville, epi mwen te yon wrèstle chanpyon eta, Mwen goumen nan kolèj pou kat ane, and I competed in MMA several times. Chris McBean and Katie Baker also teach BJJ. I attend all of our classes. As an instructor and coach, Mwen toujou kontinye aprann plis sou espò a.”

 

Raio retired from MMA competition this past June to spend more time with his family and to focus his efforts on developing his students at First Class. He notes the differences between coaching and fighting and the personal sense of satisfaction each provides him.

 

“Yo se de totalman diferan bèt,"Raio deklare. "Mwen renmen yo tou de pou rezon diferan. Mwen renmen konpetisyon paske mwen ka mete tout nan konsantre m 'ak fòmasyon nan batay mwen. Mwen renmen antrenè paske mwen ka mete nan tout sa konsantre sou yon lòt moun. Mwen santi mwen tèlman bon chak fwa youn nan elèv mwen genyen, li a tankou si m 'te gen goumen soti. Mwen santi mwen tankou mwen kapab entènèt jwèt plan byen epi konnen jwèt la byen ase yo jwenn bon jan pwogrè matchups avyon de gè m 'yo.”

 

Prèv la se nan pouding a, menm jan yo di, when it comes to finding the right matchups for his students. Nan “Nef XIX” mwa pase a, Raio’s team went undefeated with three big wins. Nick Shea (2-0) te genyen dezyèm l 'mma bout pase tout nwit lan pandan y ap Hannah Sparrell (1-0) ak BJJ nwa senti Rafael Velado (1-0) were victorious in their respective cage debuts. Raio credits cross-training with other gyms and the quality of instruction from First Class coaches for the team’s recent success.

 

“Li kòmanse ak atmosfè fanmi nou zanmitay,” Di Ray. “Nou pèmèt timoun ak gason ak fanm ki gen tout laj ale nan tout nan klas nou an eksepte bòks. Te Jody Madanm mwen te yon gwo èd. Enstriktè nou yo se ekselan. Nou te beni yo gen atlèt talan, luteur, grévistes ak grapplers mache nan pòt nou an. They all work hard and put in the time. They all work together and want each other to win. They have positive attitudes and treat each other with respect. We are trying to match seven fighters for NEF next February and have 15-20 elèv yo aktivman ap chèche batay nan ane kap vini. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete. All of our students are helpful on giving advice and tips. Nou menm tou nou kwa tren kòm anpil jan nou kapab. Nou gen plizyè elèv ki tren atravè sistèm lan Foundry BJJ pou BJJ ak vwayaj nan tren nan gym nou an pou frape, wrestling and MMA. Our BJJ coaches are all Foundry BJJ members. Nou eseye SPAR avèk Ekip Ilandè nan Brewer chak mwa ak mwen toujou tren an Choi nan (Enstiti a Choi nan Portland, Maine) yon fwa chak semèn. Hannah Sparrell ale nan Choi nan yon fwa yon semèn twò.

 

“Lè m 'premye louvri jimnastik la mwen te trè konsantre sou fòmasyon pwòp mwen epi kite lòt elèv yo prepare yo pou batay yo menm jan yo te vle. Koulye a, mwen menm ki sou tèt avyon de gè ak obligatwa bòks, klas minimòm chak semèn ak obligatwa peze-ins. Si ou pa kapab ranpli kondisyon yo ki minimòm, ou pa kapab goumen pou jimnastik nou an. Ou ka goumen kòm yon endepandan oswa ou ka jwenn yon lekòl ki apwouve nan nou fòmasyon lè ou santi ou tankou li. Nou te anpil siksè depi m 'chanje regleman-yo.”

 

Sou Novanm 21, Premye klas mma manm ekip Nick Gulliver (1-0) yo pral nan aksyon pwa loud kont Gravin Guillen (2-2). Gulliver won his amateur debut last June in the NEF cage over Sonny Spratt (0-2).

 

“Mwen eksite konsa al goumen ankò pou yon gwo òganizasyon tankou nef,” sèksklama Gulliver. “Li te santi se konsa etonan pou pou genyen batay premye fwa mwen nan devan fanmi mwen ak zanmi nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee a nan mwa Jen. Mwen te travay vrèman difisil pou premye batay mwen, men mwen santi tankou mwen gen yon anpil yo pwouve ke yo tèt mwen. Depi te men m 'leve soti vivan tounen nan mwa jen, Mwen te fòmasyon difisil ak premye klas mma ak Foundry nan. Enstriktè mwen ak antrenè yo se nenpòt moun ki nan pi bon ka mande pou. Mwen tren nan Farmington, Maine ak Foundry la anba Brianne Genschel ak Sèt Harris. Yo te mete tan tèlman nan fòmasyon m 'sou ane yo ak mwen pa ka di yo mèsi ase. Yon moun lòt bagay mwen ta renmen remèsye pou pouse m 'ta gen gwo pouvwa zanmi m' ak enstriktè Shawn Smith. Shawn se yon moun ki se toujou difisil ak fòmasyon mwen eseye ak tren tankou li fè sa ki. Li pouse tout moun nan jimnastik la nan tren difisil. Mwen menm mwen te antrene nan premye klas mma ak John Raio. Jan se rezon ki fè la mwen gen opòtinite sa a al goumen. Jan te gen tankou yon wòl modèl etonan ak zanmi nan tèt mwen ak tout konbatan l '. Tout moun nan tou de lekòl mwen tren an se etonan, epi yo enstriktè gwo. Mwen se konsa kè kontan mwen jwenn pou goumen pou Foundry a ak premye klas mma. M 'ap chache pou pi devan pou resevwa tounen nan kalòj la ak ki montre fanmi m ak zanmi kòman li di pou mwen t ap travay. Mwen vle fè moun nan pi bon mwen ka epi mwen pral fè sa. Mwen vle gen men m 'leve soti vivan pa sèlman pou m', men pou moun sa yo ki mete tan tèlman nan sa ou wè nan kalòj la. M 'ap chache pou pi devan pou resevwa opòtinite pou al goumen ankò pou nef epi montre fanatik yo sa m' genyen. Mwen te pwomèt mwen pral tren difisil epi remèt li tout bagay mwen gen fè foul moun yo kontan. Mwen pa ka rete tann yo wè tout moun sou Novanm 21yèm. Mèsi poutèt ou nan m 'ak zanmi fanmi ak enstriktè pou tout bagay.

 

Gulliver extols bèl kalite yo nan style Raio nan antrenè a premye klas, Eko santiman yo nan lòt moun konsènan pwofesè mete bezwen yo nan elèv yo premye.

 

“Tout moun nan premye klas mma gen objektif la menm e ke se pou pou genyen,” Gulliver kontinye. “But what separates First Class from any other gym is that everyone will sacrifice their needs and goals to help you win. What is so unique about First Class MMA is that any gym can teach you to fight, Men, se avèk premye klas, Jan anseye ou kè. Jis gade nan dènye pèfòmans nan premye klas nan nef. Sa ki te kè. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Li se pa sèlman yon avyon de gè oswa yon antrenè, Mwen konsidere l 'yon gwo zanmi tou. Jan pa sèlman di ou fè yon bagay, li fè li avèk ou. Si w ap swe, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart. Li tout tij soti nan antrenè nou an, Jan.”

 

Rafael Velado, ki moun ki te viktorye mwa pase a nan “Nef XIX” sou Cory Jijman (1-2), pral yon lòt fwa ankò reprezante premye klas mma sou Novanm 21 lè li etap nan kalòj la opoze Ken Dunn (0-2). Like Gulliver, Velado kredi siksè nan ekip la nan Moutre Raio.

 

“De mo, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “Mwen te resevwa fòmasyon nan plizyè lekòl sou karyè Arts masyal mwen, men pa janm gen Mwen vin an kontak avèk yon antrenè ki te mache mache a wout la li fè sa ki. Mwen pa gen di ou ki sa yon workhorse se li ki, and that work ethic is something that has translated well as a coach. It’s no surprise to most that John has been so successful as an MMA coach. Li mete-l chapo anpil tankou lidè, zanmi, konseye, patnè fòmasyon ak avoka dyab la lè sa nesesè. Li te gen nan bèl anpil chak sitiyasyon ou ka panse a nan kalòj la, e ke ba l 'kredibilite. I trust his advice implicitly and you will see his MMA mind at work when I step in the cage to execute his game plan. Some gyms will destroy every new student that walks through the door, men premye klas mma se lekontrer an nan sa ki apwoche. Nou akeyi nenpòt moun ak tout moun k ap vini tren kèlkeswa jan nou koumanse yo oswa lanbisyon al goumen mma.”

 

Velado pwomès fanatik yo ke yo pral wè anpil plis soti nan l 'nan bout kap vini li yo ak Dunn la nan “Nef XX.”

 

“Pati nan m 'vle chak batay ale osi scénario tankou premye m' sou Cory Jijman, men mwen isit la pou eksperyans kòm byen. Mwen te montre sou 1% a sa mwen kapab fè nan batay dènye mwen, se konsa kenbe je ou deroule pou yon bagay ou pa janm te wè nan nef.”

 

Pierce Wiegman (0-0) pral fè l 'amatè mma premye anba banyè la premye klas sou Novanm 21 nan Lewiston kont David Thompson (0-1) of the Shatterproof Combat Club. Unlike Velado, Wiegman, ki moun ki pral vire 30 anvan evènman an, has not trained at any other gym prior to joining First Class. Like Velado, sepandan, Wiegman ka ateste wòl nan Raio jwe nan siksè nan elèv li.

 

“Mwen pa ale nan espekile sou diferans ki genyen ant rejim fòmasyon nou kont nenpòt lòt jimnastik la, men ki sa mwen kapab di se ke chak goumen konbatan nou an te genyen te vin paske yo te travay di, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “Jan Raio se vrèman yon nonm premye klas. Devouman li nan fanmi l ', jimnastik li, avyon de gè l 'yo vini ak yon bagay ki unselfishly. Jan se yon bagay ki bay sipò nan tout moun ki tren an l 'jimnastik-timoun, gason ak fanm ak enstriktè l 'yo. "

 

“Mwen se jis chans nan menm kapab di mwen pral fè sa,"Wiegman kontinye. "Epi li nan tout gras a Jan ak Jody Raio ak tout enstriktè nou an nan premye klas ke mwen gen opòtinite sa a. Genyen oswa pèdi, Se mwen menm ki rekonesan anvè nef pou gen batay sa yo ak tout jimnaz yo toupatou nan eta a ki ap bay platfòm la pou moun yo reyisi nan kouri dèyè rèv yo nan vin tounen yon avyon de gè siksè.”

 

Bryce Bamford (0-0) rive premye klas mma a ekip la Foundry BJJ, which cross-trains with Raio’s students. Bamford is scheduled to make his amateur MMA debut in the heavyweight division at “NEF XX.” Bamford sees many similarities between the two teams.

 

“Verite a se, Premye Gwoup mma, se reyèlman menm jan ak Foundry nan, nan respè nan ki tout moun nan gen yo ede tout moun jwenn pi bon. Se tankou fòmasyon ak zanmi, pa sèlman fòmasyon patnè. That’s what attracted me down there. Steel sharpens steel. Pi bon patnè yo fòmasyon ou yo, pi bon an ou se. Jan bay 100% nan tout ekip li a, epi li fè li difisil pa bay 100% tounen paske li se konsa enplike nan sa.”

 

Lè yo te mande pou yon prediksyon sou batay l 'sou Novanm 21, Bamford reponn ak yon mo sèl – “Britalite.”

 

“Ou ka espere tout nan avyon de gè nou yo gen konfyans, byen prepare, a trete opozan yo ki gen rapò ak yo kite li tout nan kalòj la,” said Raio in closing. “Mesye sa yo tout mete tan yo nan.”
