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

Leave a ho hlahisa maikutlo

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.” Krrish Rafael “Air Guard” Velado (3-0), Shea’s teammate at First Class MMA, e ho lokiselitsoe ho tobana le 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.

 

“Ntlha ea pele, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” re 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) ka “NEF 16” selemong se fetileng.

 

“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. Ke etsa sena bakeng sa bona, 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.”

On the amateur portion of the fight card, John Raio ka Lekhetlo la Pele Class MMA sehlopha sa Brunswick, Maine a tla o romela ha ho ka tlaase ho tse 'nè le baphadisani ho NEF gorole mantsiboeeng ao.

With his own base in wrestling, Raio o boetse o sa tsoa phaella ka ho re bakoetlisi le lihlopha tse sa tšoaneng libetsa laea ho atolosa ithuta liithuti tsa hae.

 

“Ke ne ke pono ha ke o ile a bula tlelaseng ea boikoetliso, ho ba ea mofuta ofe le University of e tsoakiloeng libetsa ithuta,” O ile a re 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. Likolo tse ling na le morupeli hore o ikutloa a ba tseba loana, BJJ (Brazil Jiu-Jitsu), kickboxing, karate, judo, jj. ka ho lekaneng ho ba ruta ka nako e boemo bo phahameng.

Chris McBean and Katie Baker also teach BJJ. I attend all of our classes. As an instructor and coach, Kamehla ke ne ke tsoela pele ho ithuta ho eketsehileng ka papali.”

 

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.

 

“Ba tse peli tse fapaneng ka ho feletseng liphoofolo,"Raio o ile a re. "Ke rata bona ka bobeli ka mabaka a fapaneng. Ke rata ho competing hobane ke beha ea ka bua haholo ka le thupelo ea ka ntoa.

The le bopaki ka pudding, ha ba ntse ba re, when it comes to finding the right matchups for his students. Ka “NEF XIX” khoeling e fetileng, Raio’s team went undefeated with three big wins. Nick Shea (2-0) hlōla la hae la bobeli MMA bout bosiung boo ha a ntse a Hannah Sparrell (1-0) le BJJ batho ba batsho lebanta 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.

 

“E qala le lelapa la rōna le botsoalle,” O ile a re Ray. “Re lumella bana ba bang le banna le basali ba ba lilemo tsohle ho ba teng tsohle tsa rōna lihlopha ka ntle ho 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 baithuti ka mafolofolo o batla ho tlisa lintoa a selemong se latelang. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete. All of our students are helpful on giving advice and tips. Re boetse re sefapano terene e le re ka se khonang.

Gulliver extols makhabane a Raio ea webkataloge mokhoa ka sehlopheng sa pele sa, pheta maikutlo a batho ba bang mabapi le barupeli ba ho beha litlhoko tsa baithuti pele.

 

“Mong le e mong ka sehlopheng sa pele sa MMA o na le sepheo sa 'me ke ho hlōla,” Gulliver a tsoela pele. “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, empa ka sehlopheng sa pele sa, John e ruta o pelo. Ak'u bone feela ho qetela sehlopheng sa pele sa tshebetso ka NEF. Eo e ne e pelo. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. Ha a feela oke kapa se kene lekarecheng leo, Ke ile ka boela nahana ka mo e khōlō motsoalle. John ha e feela o bolella hore o ho etsa ho hong, o le uena. Haeba u ho fufuleloa, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart. Tsohle bakoa ke rona se kene lekarecheng leo, Johanne.”

 

Rafael Velado, eo e neng e hlōla khoeling e fetileng ka “NEF XIX” ka Cory Trial (1-2), tla a boela a emela sehlopheng sa pele sa MMA ka November 21 ha a ne a ka mehato ea a gorole fapaneng Ken Dunn (0-2). Like Gulliver, Velado Credits katleho ea sehlopha sa ho se kene lekarecheng leo Raio.

 

“Mantsoe a mabeli, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “Ke 'nile ka le koetlisitsoeng ka tse' maloa tse likolo ka lebaka la libetsa mosebetsi, empa ha ho mohla na le ke tla kopana le se kene lekarecheng leo ea ileng a tsamaea tsamaea tsela eo a etsang. Ke ha ba na ho u bolella seo le workhorse o, 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. O ile a wears ba bangata ba likatiba tse kang moeta-pele, motsoalle, motataisi, thupelo le mphato oa diabolose ho buella ha ho hlokahala. O 'nile a a le ntle haholo mong le e mong boemo bo u ka nahana ka a gorole, le hore mo fa boikanyego. 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, empa sehlopheng sa pele sa MMA ke antithesis ea hore re ka atamela. Re amohela mang kapa mang ea le mong le e mong tlang ho tla terene tsotellehe semelo sa bona kapa ho rata botumo ho loantša MMA.”

 

Velado o tšepisa Fans hore ba tla bona ho feta tsoa ho eena ea hae le tlang bout le Dunn ka “NEF XX.”

 

“Karolo ea 'na o batla hore mong le e mong ho loanela ho tsamaee ho ea scripted joaloka ka qalo khahlanong le Cory Trial, empa kea mona bakeng sa phihlelo hammoho. Ke o ile a bontša ka 1% ea seo nka se etsang ka ho qetela ntoa, e le lula le shebile ka peeled ntho e 'ngoe o s'o bone a NEF.”

Unlike Velado, Wiegman, ba o tla lebisa 30 pele ho ketsahalo, has not trained at any other gym prior to joining First Class. Like Velado, leha ho le joalo, Wiegman ka bontsha bopaki ba karolo e phethoang Raio phetha karolo katlehong ea liithuti tsa hae.

 

“Ke a ke ke a nahana ka phapang pakeng tsa koetliso ea rona puso e bapisiwa le leha e le efe tlelaseng ea boikoetliso, ea, empa seo ke se ka re ke hore mong le e mong loantša rona bahlabani hlōla o ile a tla ka lebaka la ho sebetsa ka thata, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “John Raio sebele ke sehlopheng sa pele sa motho.

John o ntšehelitse haholo mong le e mong ea ikoetlisang ea hae tlelaseng ea boikoetliso,-bana ba bang, banna le basali le hae barupeli ba. "

 

“Ke feela swathika ho esita le khona ho bua ke tla ho etsa sena,"Wiegman a tsoela pele. "'Me ho tsohle leboha John le Jody Raio le tsohle tsa rōna barupeli sehlopheng sa pele sa hore ke na le monyetla ona.

Bryce Bamford (0-0) o ile a tla sehlopheng sa pele sa MMA ka Foundry BJJ sehlopha sa, 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.

 

“'Nete ke, Pele Class MMA, e le hantle tšoana le Foundry, a tlhompho hore mong le e mong 's ho na le ho thusa mong le e mong ntlafatsa. Ho joaloka thupelo le metsoalle, eseng feela koetlisa balekane ba. That’s what attracted me down there. Steel sharpens steel. Molemo ho u koetlisa balekane ba ba, molemo u.
