Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 21, 2016) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan, “NEF 26: oppergesag,” Saterdag, November 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.Vroeër vandag, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.
In die belangrikste gebeurtenis, “Die” Ryan Sanders (10-8) sal voldoen Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sanders’ first fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered a “dream match” by Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanders’ camp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.
The co-main event of the evening will feature an interesting “afrigter vs. afrigter” stryd. “Onsplinterbaar 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founderJosh Parker (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest. Shorey is coming off a big win in Rhode Island earlier this fall, while Parker will be returning to the MMA cage after spending the last three years competing as a boxer.
Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be undefeated prospectAaron “Meedoënlose” Lacey (3-0) en Taylor Trahan (6-6) in 'n veergewig bout. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” verlede maand. Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport. Trahan will be looking to play the role of spoiler while also avenging the loss of his Team Link teammate John Santos (3-5) to Lacey in Bangor this past August.
The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight betweenNick “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) en Quilt DeCastro (2-2). DeCastro stepped up to the plate to face Gulliver when no other heavyweight in the region would do so. Gulliver has been on a path of destruction, ripping through three opponents in a combined two minutes.
Two women’s fights are on tap for “NEF 26.” Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga (2-2) returns from Florida to meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black beltBrianne Genschel (0-0). Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate“Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) will also be in action againstFernanda Araujo (4-4-2).
Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy in Portland, Maine will send two new fighters to the cage at “NEF 26.” Chad Pierce(0-0) will debut against Shatterproof’sLyman Curtis(0-0), terwyl Phil Chiasson(0-0) voldoen aan Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics. Both bouts will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 10, 2016) – New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vechtkunste aan, “NEF 26: oppergesag,” Saterdag, November 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.Vroeër vandag, NEF executives announced the addition of an amateur featherweight women’s bout to the fight card. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) is geskeduleer om te voldoen aan “Kwaai” Fernanda Araujo (4-4-2) op 'n stryd gewig van 145-pond.
Hannah Sparrell made her NEF cage debut in September 2015 with a unanimous decision victory over Kira Innocenti (0-1). She returned to the cage last spring at “NEF 22” in a losing effort against Angela Young (1-2). Dit bout, a back and forth battle, has been one of the most memorable this year in NEF and could be in the running for “Stryd van die Jaar” honors as well. Sparrell is a member of First Class MMA based out of Brunswick, Maine.
“I’m super excited to be stepping into the NEF cage once again onNovember 19th,” said Sparrell. “For months, I have had friends, supporters and fans asking me when my next bout will be. I am happy to have a solid answer for them. Though I lost my fight to Angela during NEF 22, I left there with my head held high, a newly recognized confidence, and a hunger to get in the cage once again.
“Fernanda has a solid, and well rounded MMA career. Her experience and comfort level in the cage gives me a determination to train hard, give her a good fight, and feel the sense of empowerment of having my hand raised after the hard fought rounds!”
Fernanda Araujo is also a veteran of the NEF cage. In 2012, she debuted in Lewiston against Maria Rios (2-3) in what turned out to be a bloody brawl. While she lost the bout via technical knockout in the second round, Araujo impressed the Maine crowd with her gutsy performance.

Oor New England Fights
New England Fights ("NEF") is 'n stryd gebeure promosies maatskappy. NEF se missie is om die hoogste gehalte gebeure vir Maine se vegters en fans te skep. NEF se uitvoerende span het uitgebreide ondervinding in 'n geveg sport bestuur, gebeure produksie, media verhoudings, bemarking, wetlike en advertensies.
Lewiston, Maine (Maart 31, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 22: Alle paaie lei HIER” op Saterdag, April 23, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.
On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Maine, Brandon “Die kanon” Berry(11-1, 7 Uitklophoue) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’sJames Lester (10-9, 4 Uitklophoue). Berry, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.
That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Uitklophoue), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Uitklophoue), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Uitklophoue) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Uitklophoue) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “spoiler” te “Die kanon” and his legion of fans.
After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” verlede maand, NEF MMA regularCrowsneck BOUTIN (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facingBrandon Montella (3-0, 2 Uitklophoue). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.
Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will beJesse “Die Viking” Erickson (6-4) en Devin Powell (5-1) in 'n liggewig-wedstryd. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.
“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview onThe MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”
Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.
“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”
“Crazy” en “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed betweenJosh “Hook On” Harvey(0-0) en Matt “Ken pop” Definiering (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage onApril 23rd.
The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammateAaron “Meedoënlose” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran“Onsplinterbaar 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) in 'n veergewig bout. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.
That title will not stay vacant very long asKaleb Hall (6-3) en Erik Nelson(2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “NEF XX” laaste val, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”
The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight betweenAngela Young(0-1) en “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

Lewiston, Maine (Maart 8, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF 22: Alle paaie lei HIER” op Saterdag, April 23, 2016 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (Plaasmoorde) and professional boxing bouts. Vroeër vandag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women’s featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” stryd kaart. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0) sal veg Angela Young (0-1) at a fight weight of 140-pounds.
Hannah Sparrell was introduced to the sport when she began taking her daughter to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) classes. Sparrell soon found herself training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. She made her in-cage debut last fall against Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-1) by “NEF XIX” in Lewiston. Sparrell was victorious that evening, scoring a unanimous decision from the judges after an exhausting three-round fight. She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time at “NEF 22.”
“I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, op April 23rd, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ Dit gesê, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.”
Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “NEF XIX.” In a wild, “fight of the night” performance, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ telkaarte, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. Op April 23rd, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.
“I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” gesê Young. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ Hierdie keer, egter, my hand will be raised.”

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy negentiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XIX,” Saterdag, September 12, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) en Nick Shea (1-0) uit die Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Onlangs, First Class MMA stigter en hoof-afrigter John “First Class” Ray aangesluit NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson as die gas op die NEF Podcast.
Die afgelope Junie, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, insluitend die voorbereiding Sparrell, Velado en Shea vir hul komende aanvalle.
“Ek kan beslis 'n baie meer tyd het in my vegters sowel as my familie,” Said Ray. “Die vegters, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, wanneer jy die opleiding vir 'n stryd, maak nie saak hoeveel jy probeer om te fokus op Nick Shea of Nick Gully of Hannah Sparrell of Rafael of enige van ons vegters, jy kan nie regtig sit 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, jou familie en jou kinders.”
Sedert die geboorte van NEF vroeg 2012, en die daaropvolgende ontploffing van gewildheid van die sport in die staat, baie nuwe gimnasiums het in die afgelope jaar opgeskiet, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, meer as enigiets anders, die hegte, familie-agtige atmosfeer wat ontwikkel het by die fasiliteit, aangesien hy die gimnasium geopen.
“Die grootste ding wat ek graag oor ons gym, Ek geniet gaan en 'n deel van, is daar 'n baie nederige groep studente en instrukteurs,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.”
Die “First Class” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio verdien die reputasie van 'n respekvolle, classy, professionele, aangenaam individuele, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Ek probeer om almal gelyk te behandel,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (by die gym), op sy beurt, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, as hulle nie optree respek vir die instrukteurs of die ander studente, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Ons gym lok, vir een of ander rede, mense wat net mooi mense.”
Met meer en meer nuwe studente kom deur die deur van sy gym, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.
“Na die laaste show (NEF XVIII), toe ek sien Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) het sy arm opgewek en Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ek was so bly vir die ouens,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Ek het gesê: "As ons gaan 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.’ I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.”

Lewiston, Maine (Augustus 31, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy negentiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XIX,” Saterdag, September 12, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) van Young se MMA in Bangor is geskeduleer om haar debuut maak teen Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) is ook geskeduleer om haar debuut maak teen Hannah Sparrell (0-0) van First Class MMA in Brunswick.
Angela Young is die vrou van Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.
“It’s important for me to test myself,” Jong gesê, “nie net in die hok kom12 September, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, dit was meer oor blywende deur die struikelblokke en stoot my perke as 'n deelnemer in 'n manier wat nie getoets is. Dit was oor die bewys van myself, my afrigters en my spanmaats dat ek my reg om te stap in die hok verdien.”
Waar in die verlede vroue is verban na die byvertoning en nuwigheid gedeeltes van vechtsporten gebeure, soos boks, vroue se MMA het nie net opgestaan om gelyke status met mans se MMA, dit het, in sommige maniere, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, en die hoogste betaal atleet, is se sy vroue kapokgewig-kampioen Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 kaart sal wees aan die voorpunt van 'n beweging om geleenthede vir vroue uit te brei op die plaaslike vlak.
“MMA vir vroue is nie heel anders as wat dit is vir mans,” gesê Young. “Natuurlik, Plaasmoorde is 'n oorwegend manlike sport, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Deur middel van hierdie stryd kamp het ek geworstel, sparred en worsteling met die Young se MMA stryd span en hulle het onverbiddelijk ondersteunend. As een van die eerste vroulike vegters uit Young se het beslis sy druk (sowel as om getroud aan mnr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Ek verwag dat die vroue op 'n groot show sit omdat ons iets om te bewys. Ek het bloed stryk, sweet en trane in opleiding en jy beter glo ek neem my teenstanders dieselfde gedoen. Dit gesê, die vroue gaan om te kom nadat dit aan hul aandeel in die NEF hok te plant.”
Beide Young se spanmaat, Kira Innocenti, het sowel haar opponent te “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, lyk stem saam met Young se standpunte oor die vinnige groei van vroue se MMA.
“Vroue se MMA is op die opkoms,” Said Innocenti. “Elke dissipline leer 'n vrou iets wat sy nie weet oor haarself. Ek het gesien dat dit vertroue bou in myself en baie ander. Hoe meer vroue op die matte, hoe beter. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, en myself om dit ons almal gee en gaan na die oorlog, net soos die manlike krygers op Young se MMA doen. Ons het hard gewerk om ons gym verteenwoordig. Ons sal veg met trots, passie, en met die sterkste hoeke kyk uit vir ons. Ek kan jou verseker dat die vroue se aanvalle onvergeetlike sal wees nie.”
“Vroue se MMA is 'n sport net soos enige ander,” verklaar Reinheimer van Everett, Massachusetts. “Dit is nie 'n aksie film waar die held loop uit in die bos vir drie dae te lei met 'n martial arts meester en dan nederlae 'n hele weermag. Dit is nie 'n bar geraas. Dit is nie 'n agterstraatjie hinderlaag. Hierdie vroue is ernstige atlete wat ywerig lei vir die jaar met behulp van die beste opleiding, toerusting en hulpbronne beskikbaar. Vroue wat in 'n geveg sport meeding spandeer duisende ure van bloed, sweet en trane vervolmaak hul sport. Hulle maak opofferings. Verder, daar is reëls en tyd perke en veiligheidsmaatreëls. Wanneer iemand onbekend is met die idee van vroue se MMA, Ek vergelyk dit met boks of omheining, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. My teenstander en ek is albei van ernstige, hardwerkende kampe. Ons is albei ma's en dit neem 'n baie van die bepaling en ry na die sport doen terwyl jongleren werk en kinders. Ek het onvermoeid werk met my span sedert my laaste stryd om my spel in elke aspek verbeter. Ek is so dankbaar vir die ongelooflike opleiding en spanmaats by Sityodtong wat my so hard druk. Op September 12, jy kan 'n oorlog verwag.”
Die meeste individue, beide mans en vroue, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, oud en jonk, blou kraag en wit kraag, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Sommige, egter, gebyt deur die kompetisie fout.
“Ek is ingestel om die MMA wêreld na die ondertekening van my dogter vir Jiu Jitsu klasse dink dit voordelig om haar vir die selfverdediging aspek wat betrokke is in die sport sal wees,” onthou Hanna Sparrell. “Ek het gekyk hoe sy val in die liefde met die spel, besig om krag en selfvertroue, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, en dan uiteindelik wou die ander aspekte van die wêreld te verken MMA. Om in die gimnasium het 'n tweede huis vir my en my dogter, my opleiding vennote, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, dit is 'n toets van atleties, sowel as 'n toets van geestelike en emosionele ry. Sedert ingestel om die gemengde martial arts wêreld wat ek my liggaam gestel het, hart, en siel in opleiding, en meeding in hierdie bout is vir my belangrik om verskeie redes, nie net vir myself en my harde werk verteenwoordig, maar ook aan al die harde werk verteenwoordig, toewyding, en aanmoediging van my vriende ek het ontvang, instrukteurs, opleiding vennote, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, dit fisies is 'n groot oefensessie, en is ook 'n goeie vorm van "terapie" aan die einde van 'n moontlik stresvolle dag. Ek het baie vroue wat ek lei met, nie almal van hulle is van plan om te veg, maar die voordele van die sport is daar nog, en hulle is mal daaroor net dieselfde.”
Innocenti, soos baie, betrokke geraak het in die stryd sport as 'n manier om te kry, en bly in, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.
“Toets myself in 'n gemengde martial arts bout is vir my belangrik in baie opsigte. Twee jaar gelede, Ek was oorgewig en sukkel om 'n gesonde vind, vervullende pad. Een dag, Ek het wakker geword en het die lewe deur die leisels en in 'n half jaar, verloor £ 60 op my eie. Ek verwelkom die uitdaging, daarin geslaag, en wou 'n ander. Aaron “Meedoënlose” Lacey het my vertel oor Young se MMA en ek was verplig om dit te sien. Na die versterking deur die deure, uit te probeer al van die klasse, en voldoen aan die familie wat dit so spesiaal gemaak, Ek is verslaaf. Ek het dit 'n doel om een van die eerste vroulike vegters op die waarskynlik mees dominante stryd span in Nieu-Engeland wees. Ek het nog altyd 'n mededinger is. Ek geniet myself uitdaag en stoot grense wat gedink onmoontlik om te bereik te wees. Die lewe van die gemengde martial arts lewenstyl is taai. Dit vereis meer toewyding as wat ek ooit gedink het moontlik. Dit breek jou en bou jou terug na die persoon wat jy werklik is. Hierdie stryd is belangrik, want ek is bederf met 'n ongelooflike span by my kant wat geleer is deur die mees motiverende en bemoedigende afrigters. Ek is vasbeslote om hulle trots te maak en bedank hulle met my hand opgewek.”
“Mixed Martial Arts is die uiteindelike toets van die menslike gees op elke vlak: fisies, geestelik, en emosioneel,” gesê Reinheimer. “Ek het 'n brandende begeerte om te weet hoe ver ek kan gaan. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, my lewe het grens-minder geword. My lewe op die mat het my lewe verbeter van die mat en omgekeerd. Dit is gestroop weg al die onnodige afleidings en gedistilleerde my lewe neer op wat regtig saak maak, in en uit van die ring. Ek voel soos dit het my gehelp te word baie nader aan my ware self. Dit is die beste van die ou martial arts en die moderne lewe.”
Van die vier vroue veg op die “NEF XIX” kaart, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 in Lewiston is opgewonde vir die geleentheid.
“NEF is 'n soliede bevordering met 'n groot reputasie,” gesê Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Ek kan nie wag!”
“Ek dink die ondersteuners kan 'n groot show inderdaad verwag,” uitgeroep Sparrell. “Meer dikwels as nie die vroue se gevegte het bewys dat dit uiters entertaining te wees, ons natuurlik wil bewys onsself waardig in hierdie prominent manlike-gedomineerde sport. Dit is die eerste keer vir drie uit vier van die vroue op hierdie kaart, so ek weet daar gaan 'n baie van die hart en vasberadenheid gegooi word in hierdie gevegte wees. Ek weet, persoonlik, Ek is baie opgewonde om te verteenwoordig! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; Ek het so baie van die vegters ek vergoden gekyk en kyk op in hierdie sport van die erwe van die Androscoggin Bank Colisée, die geleentheid om daar met hulle nou regtig 'n ware eer.”
“As 12 September vinnig nader, Ek is besig om meer opgewonde en gereed om in die hok te kry,” Jong gesê. “Dit het nogal 'n reis is en ek is dankbaar vir die geleentheid om my amateur MMA debuut met NEF.”
“Ek is verheug om my MMA debuut met NEF maak op 12 September,” Said Innocenti. “Ek het onvermoeid gewerk om hierdie geleentheid te kry en ek is opgewonde dat die tyd gekom het.”
