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

Hapụ ikwu

Lewiston, Maine (June 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, a na ndokwa ihu Jimmy Jackson (3-2), a teammate of Irwin at Young’s MMA, for the vacant NEF mixed-martial-arts (Emmanuel) 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.

 

“Na mbụ, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” kwuru 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) na “NEF 16” afọ gara aga.

 

“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. M na-eme nke a n'ihi na ha, 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.”

 

New England alụkarị ọgụ 'esote omume, "NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, September 10, 2016 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée na Lewiston, Maine.

Lewiston, Maine (October 7, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya na-esote omume, “NEF XX: A History nke ime ihe ike” na Saturday, November 21, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée na Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) 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, John Raio Mbụ Klas Emmanuel ìgwè ndị Brunswick, Maine ga-eziga bụla na-erughị anọ asọmpi na NEF onu na mgbede.

 

Ka dịtụ na-amalite amalite, Raio si mgbatị ka toro, ma n'ụzọ ihe atụ na n'ụzọ nkịtị, since its inception in 2013. Ọtụtụ na-adịbeghị anya, otu kwagara n'ime a ọhụrụ, larger space at Fort Andross in Brunswick. With his own base in wrestling, Raio nwekwara ndondo kwukwara trainers na klas dị iche iche karat ọzụzụ iji mụbaa mmụta nke ụmụ akwụkwọ ya.

 

“M nwere ọhụụ mgbe m na-emeghe mgbatị na-ụdị a University nke mbuaha karat mmụta,” Kwurula 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. Ụfọdụ ụlọ akwụkwọ nwere otu nkụzi na-ele ha maara mgba, BJJ (Brazil Jiu-Jitsu), kickboxing, karate, judo, wdg. ọma ịkụziri ha niile na a elu larịị. Ọ bụrụ na ị na-amachi gị ọzụzụ ka ihe otu onye maara, 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, a Kempo nwa belt nke na-akụziri egbu -Shawn Tardif, a pro oku okpu na-akụziri ọkpọ- James Carville, na m bụ na a na steeti mmeri mgba, M mgba na mahadum maka afọ anọ, 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, Mgbe m na-anọgide na-amụta ihe banyere egwuregwu.”

 

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.

 

“Ha bụ ndị abụọ kpamkpam dị iche iche ụmụ anụmanụ,"Raio kwuru. "M hụrụ ha n'anya ma dị iche iche ihe. M n'anya sọọ mpi n'ihi na m nwere ike tinye niile m na-elekwasị anya na ọzụzụ n'ime m agha. M n'anya ịnye ọzụzọ n'ihi na m nwere ike tinye ihe nile nke na-elekwasị anya jidesie onye ọzọ. M na-eche otú ahụ ihe ọma ọ bụla otu n'ime ụmụ akwụkwọ m merie, ọ bụ dị ka ma ọ bụrụ na m bụ si n'ebe-alụ ọgụ. -Adị m ka m nwere ike egwuregwu atụmatụ ọma ma mara egwuregwu ọma-enwetakwa ihe ọma matchups dị ka m alụso ọganihu.”

 

The àmà bụ na pudding, dị ka ha na-ekwu, when it comes to finding the right matchups for his students. Mgbe “NEF XIX” ikpeazụ nke ọnwa, Raio’s team went undefeated with three big wins. Nick Shea (2-0) ndibọhọ ya nke abụọ Emmanuel tuanu na abalị mgbe Hannah Sparrell (1-0) na BJJ nwa belt 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.

 

“Ọ na-amalite ezinụlọ anyị enyi na enyi ikuku,” Kwurula Ray. “Anyị na-ekwe ụmụaka na ndị ikom na ndị inyom nke afọ niile na-aga nzukọ nile nke klas anyị ma e wezụga sparring.

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 ụmụ akwụkwọ na-achọ ịlụ ọgụ na-esote afọ. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete.

On November 21, Mbụ na klas Emmanuel otu so Nick Gulliver (1-0) ga-Heavyweight ihe megide Gravin Guillen (2-2). Gulliver won his amateur debut last June in the NEF cage over Sonny Spratt (0-2).

“Onye ọ bụla na Mbụ Klas Emmanuel nwere otu ihe mgbaru ọsọ na nke ahụ bụ iji merie,” Gulliver nọgidere. “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, ma na mbụ na klas, John na-akụzi ị obi. Dị nnọọ anya na ikpeazụ klas mbụ arụmọrụ na NEF. Nke ahụ bụ obi. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Ọ bụghị naanị a fighter ma ọ bụ onye nchịkwa, M na-atụle ya na oké enyi. John adịghị nnọọ na-agwa gị na-eme ihe, ọ na-eme ya na ị. Ọ bụrụ na ị na-ọsụsọ na-agba, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart. Ọ niile ị ga si anyị nchịkwa, John.”

 

Rafael Velado, bụ onye na-enwe mmeri ikpeazụ nke ọnwa na “NEF XIX” n'elu Cory Trial (1-2), ga-otu ugboro ọzọ na-anọchi anya mbụ na klas Emmanuel on November 21 mgbe ọ nzọụkwụ ke onu abụghị Ken Dunn (0-2). Like Gulliver, Velado Ebe e si nweta ịga nke ọma nke otu na-nchịkwa Raio.

 

“Abụọ okwu, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “M na-azụ na ọtụtụ ụlọ akwụkwọ m karat ọrụ, ma ọ dịghị mgbe m abịa na kọntaktị na a nchịkwa onye jere ije ije n'ụzọ ọ na-eme. M na-adịghị na-agwa gị ihe a workhorse ọ bụ, 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. Ọ wears ọtụtụ naaa dị otú ahụ dị ka onye ndú, enyi, abara, ọzụzụ onye na ekwensu akwado mgbe ọ dị mkpa. Ọ nọwo na mara mma nke ukwuu ọnọdụ ọ bụla ị pụrụ icheta na onu, na nke na-enye ya ịtụkwasị obi. 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, Ma mbụ Klas Emmanuel bụ antithesis nke na obibia. Anyị n'anabata onye ọ bụla na onye ọ bụla na-abịa ụgbọ okporo ígwè n'agbanyeghị na ha ndabere ma ọ bụ oké ọchịchọ na-alụ ọgụ Emmanuel.”

 

Velado na-ekwe nkwa Fans na ha ga-ahụ ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ si n'ime ya pụta na ya na-abịa tuanu na Dunn na “NEF XX.”

 

“Akụkụ nke m chọrọ ọ bụla agha na-aga dị ka scripted dị ka m mpụta mbụ megide Cory Trial, kama m na ebe a maka ahụmahụ dị ka nke ọma. M gosiri banyere 1% nke ihe m nwere ike na-eme m ikpeazụ agha, wee na-anya gị peeled maka ihe ị na mgbe hụrụ na NEF.”

Unlike Velado, Wiegman, onye ga-atụgharị 30 tupu ihe omume, has not trained at any other gym prior to joining First Class. Like Velado, Otú ọ dị, Wiegman pụrụ ịgba akaebe na ọrụ Raio-arụ ịga nke ọma nke ụmụ akwụkwọ ya.

 

“M na-adịghị aga tulee na ihe dị iche n'etiti anyị ọzụzụ ọchịchị vesos ọ bụla ọzọ mgbatị si, ma ihe m nwere ike ikwu bụ na ọ na-alụ ọgụ anyị alụso ndibọhọ wee n'ihi ịrụsi ọrụ ike, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “John Raio bụ n'ezie a mbụ na klas nwoke.

Bryce Bamford (0-0) wee mbụ na klas Emmanuel site na Foundry BJJ otu, 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.
