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

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

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, ti wa ni se eto lati koju 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.

 

“A la koko, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” Said 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) ni “NEF 16” esi.

 

“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. Mo ṣe eyi fun wọn, 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 ká Raio First Class MMA egbe ti Brunswick, Maine yoo fi ko kere ju mẹrin awọn oludije si awọn NEF ẹyẹ ti aṣalẹ.

 

Si tun jo ni awọn oniwe-ikoko, Raio ká-idaraya ti po, mejeeji figuratively ati gangan, since its inception in 2013. Julọ laipe, awọn egbe gbe sinu a Opo, larger space at Fort Andross in Brunswick. With his own base in wrestling, Raio ti tun laipe fi kun oluko ati kilaasi ni o yatọ si ti ologun ona lori eko lati faagun awọn eko ti awọn re omo ile.

 

“Mo ní a iran nigbati mo ṣí awọn idaraya lati wa ni too ti a University of adalu ti ologun ona eko,” Said 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. Àwọn ilé ẹkọ ni ọkan oluko ti o kan lara won mo gídígbò, BJJ (Brazil Jiu-Jitsu), kickboxing, karate, Judo, ati be be lo. daradara to lati kọ gbogbo wọn ni a ipele ti o ga.

Chris McBean and Katie Baker also teach BJJ. I attend all of our classes. As an instructor and coach, Mo ti nigbagbogbo tesiwaju lati ni imọ siwaju sii nipa awọn idaraya.”

 

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.

 

“Wọn ti wa ni meji nibe o yatọ eranko,"Raio so. "Mo ni ife wọn mejeji fun yatọ si idi. Mo ti ìfẹ located nitori ti mo le fi gbogbo awọn ti mi aifọwọyi ati ikẹkọ sinu mi ija.

Mo lero bi Mo le ere ètò daradara ati ki o mọ ere daradara to lati ri ti o dara matchups bi mi onija itesiwaju.”

 

Awọn ẹri jẹ ninu awọn pudding, bi nwọn ti sọ, when it comes to finding the right matchups for his students. Ni “NEF XIX” osu to koja, Raio’s team went undefeated with three big wins. Nick Shea (2-0) gba rẹ keji MMA ija ti o night nigba ti Hannah Sparrell (1-0) ati BJJ dudu igbanu 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.

 

“Ti o ba bẹrẹ pẹlu wa ebi ore bugbamu,” Said Ray. “A gba awọn ọmọ wẹwẹ ati awọn ọkunrin ati awọn obinrin ti gbogbo ọjọ ori lati lọ gbogbo awọn ti wa kilasi ayafi sparring. Iyawo mi Jody ti a tobi iranlọwọ. Wa oluko wa o tayọ. A ti a ti bukun lati ni abinibi elere, wrestlers, strikers ati grapplers rìn nipasẹ wa ilẹkun. They all work hard and put in the time.

We are trying to match seven fighters for NEF next February and have 15-20 omo ile actively koni njà ni nigbamii ti odun. Many of our students are here to learn and not compete.

Lori Kọkànlá Oṣù 21, First Class MMA egbe egbe Nick Gulliver (1-0) yoo wa ni heavyweight igbese lodi si Gravin Guillen (2-2). Gulliver won his amateur debut last June in the NEF cage over Sonny Spratt (0-2).

 

“Mo wa ki yiya lati ja fun lẹẹkansi nla kan agbari ti a bi NEF,” exclaimed Gulliver. “O ro ki o iyanu lati win mi akọkọ ija ni iwaju ninu ebi mi ati awọn ọrẹ ni awọn Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni June.

Gulliver extols awọn Irisi ti Raio ká kooshi ara ni First Class, echoing awọn sentiments ti elomiran nipa oluko o nri awọn aini ti omo ile akọkọ.

 

“Gbogbo eniyan ni First Class MMA ni o ni kanna ìlépa ati awọn ti o ni lati win,” Gulliver tesiwaju. “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, ṣugbọn pẹlu First Class, John o kọ ọ ọkàn. O kan wo ni kẹhin First Class išẹ ni NEF. Ti o wà ọkàn. We’re looking to do the same this time around. John Raio is a class act. O si ni ko nikan a Onija tabi a ẹlẹsin, Mo tun ro u a nla ore. John ko ko o kan so fun o lati se nkankan, ti o ṣe o pẹlu nyin. Ti o ba n kan ti o nlaagun, he’s sweating—and that goes back to my statement that our school has heart. O gbogbo stems lati wa ẹlẹsin, John.”

 

Rafael Velado, ti o wà ṣẹgun osu to koja ni “NEF XIX” lori Cory Iwadii (1-2), yoo lekan si ašoju First Class MMA on Kọkànlá Oṣù 21 nigbati o igbesẹ ninu agọ ẹyẹ idakeji Ken Dunn (0-2). Like Gulliver, Velado kirediti awọn aseyori ti awọn egbe lati ẹlẹsin Raio.

 

“Meji ni awọn ọrọ, John Ray,” said Velado when asked to differentiate First Class from other gyms he has trained at. “Mo ti sọ oṣiṣẹ ni orisirisi awọn ile eko lori mi ti ologun ona ọmọ, ṣugbọn kò ni mo ti wá ni olubasọrọ pẹlu a ẹlẹsin ti o rìn awọn rin ni ọna ti o se. Emi ko ni lati so fun o ohun ti a workhorse ti o jẹ, 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 si san danu ọpọlọpọ awọn fila bi olori, ore, olutojueni, ikẹkọ alabaṣepọ ati esu ká alagbawi nigbati pataki. O si ti ni lẹwa Elo gbogbo ipo ti o le ro ti ni awọn agọ ẹyẹ, ati ti yoo fun u igbekele. 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, ṣugbọn First Class MMA ni awọn antithesis ti wipe ona. A ku ẹnikẹni ati gbogbo eniyan lati wá reluwe laiwo ti won isale tabi okanjuwa lati ja MMA.”

 

Velado ṣèlérí egeb ti won yoo ri Elo diẹ jade ti u ni rẹ ìṣe ija pẹlu Dunn ni “NEF xx.”

 

“Apá ti mi fe gbogbo ija lati lọ si bi scripted bi mi Uncomfortable lodi si Cory Iwadii, sugbon Mo wa nibi fun iriri bi daradara. Mo ti fihan nipa 1% ti ohun ti mo le se ni mi kẹhin ija, ki o pa oju rẹ bó fun ohun ti o ti sọ kò ri ninu NEF.”

 

Pierce Wiegman (0-0) yio si ṣe rẹ magbowo MMA Uncomfortable labẹ awọn First Class asia lori Kọkànlá Oṣù 21 ni Lewiston lodi si David Thompson (0-1) of the Shatterproof Combat Club. Unlike Velado, Wiegman, ti o yoo tan 30 saju si awọn iṣẹlẹ, has not trained at any other gym prior to joining First Class. Like Velado, sibẹsibẹ, Wiegman le si so amikan ti ipa Raio yoo ni awọn aseyori ti rẹ omo ile.

 

“Mo n ko lilọ si speculate lori awọn iyato laarin wa ikẹkọ ijọba dipo eyikeyi miiran idaraya ká, ṣugbọn ohun ti mo le sọ ni wipe gbogbo jà wa onija gba wá nitori ti lile ise, dedication and excellent coaching from all of our instructors,” stated Wiegman. “John Raio jẹ iwongba ti a akọkọ kilasi eniyan. Re sí mímọ fún ebi re, rẹ idaraya, ati awọn onija rẹ ba wa gan unselfishly. John jẹ gidigidi atilẹyin ti gbogbo eniyan ti ma ni rẹ idaraya-ọmọ wẹwẹ, ọkunrin ati awọn obinrin ati oluko rẹ. "

 

“Mo wa kan orire lati paapaa ni anfani lati sọ Mo n lilọ lati ṣe eyi,"Wiegman tesiwaju. "Ati awọn ti o ni gbogbo ọpẹ si John ati Jody Raio ati gbogbo awọn ti wa oluko ni First Class ti mo ni anfani yi.

Bryce Bamford (0-0) wá si First Class MMA nipasẹ awọn Foundry BJJ egbe, 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.

 

“Truth ni, First Kíláásì MMA, jẹ gan iru si awọn Foundry, ni awọn ọwọ pe gbogbo ni nibẹ lati ran gbogbo ènìyàn gba dara. O ni bi ikẹkọ pẹlu awọn ọrẹ, ko o kan ikẹkọ awọn alabašepọ.

John yoo fun 100% si gbogbo egbe, ati awọn ti o mu ki o ko lile fun 100% nitori ti o ti wa ni pada ki lowo.”

 

Nigba ti beere fun a p on rẹ ija on Kọkànlá Oṣù 21, Bamford dahun pẹlu a ọrọ nikan – “Iroro.”

 

“O le reti gbogbo awọn ti wa onija lati wa ni igboya, daradara pese, lati huwa si alatako won pẹlu ọwọ ati lati fi o gbogbo ninu agọ ẹyẹ,” said Raio in closing. “Awọn wọnyi buruku gbogbo wọn fi akoko ni.”
