Lewiston, Maine (Outubro 21, 2016) – Loitas de Nova Inglaterra (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” o sábado, Novembro 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.hoxe cedo, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.
No evento principal, “O” Ryan Sanders(10-8) vai reunirse 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 “coach vs. adestrador” batalla. “Shatterproof 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 “Implacable” Lacey (3-0) e Taylor Trahan(6-6) nun ataque pluma. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” mes pasado. 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 betweenEntalhe “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) e Yorgan 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), mentres Phil Chiasson(0-0) atenda Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics. Both bouts will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

Para divulgación inmediata: Lewiston, Maine (Outubro 10, 2016) – Loitas de Nova Inglaterra (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” o sábado, Novembro 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.hoxe cedo, NEF executives announced the addition of an amateur featherweight women’s bout to the fight card. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) debe reunirse “Feroz” Fernanda Araujo (4-4-2) cun peso de loita de 145 quilos.
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). Esa loita, a back and forth battle, has been one of the most memorable this year in NEF and could be in the running for “Loita do Ano” 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. En 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.

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 31, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, 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 “O Canón” Baga(11-1, 7 Kos) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’sJames Lester (10-9, 4 Kos). Baga, 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 “Sicário” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Kos), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Kos), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Kos) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos) 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” para “O Canón” and his legion of fans.
After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” mes pasado, NEF MMA regularCrowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facingBrandon Montella (3-0, 2 Kos). 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 “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) e Devin Powell (5-1) in a lightweight contest. 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,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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” e “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed betweenJosh “Hook On” Harvey(0-0) e Matt “Ken boneca” Denning (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 “Implacable” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran“Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) nun ataque pluma. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.
That title will not stay vacant very long asCaleb Salón (6-3) e 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” último outono, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”
The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight betweenAngela Mozo(0-1) e “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women’s featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0) loitará Angela Mozo (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) en “NEF XIX” en 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, en 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.’ Dito, 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’ scorecards, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. En 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,” afirmou Mozo. “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.’ Esta vez, con todo, my hand will be raised.”

Lewiston, Maine (Setembro 3, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XIX mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XIX,” o sábado, Setembro 12, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en 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) e Nick Shea (1-0) do Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Recentemente, Fundador First Class MMA e adestrador Baño “First Class” Raio xuntouse se co-propietario NEF e matchmaker Matt Peterson como invitado no NEF Podcast.
En xuño pasado, 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, incluíndo a preparación Sparrell, Velado e Shea aos seus próximos duelos.
“Eu sempre pode poñer moito máis tempo para os meus loitadores, así como a miña familia,” said Raio. “Os loitadores, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, cando está adestrando para unha loita, non importa o que tente concentrarse en Nick Shea ou Nick Gully ou Hannah Sparrell ou Rafael ou calquera dos nosos loitadores, non pode realmente poñer 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, a súa familia e os seus fillos.”
Desde o nacemento do NEF no inicio 2012, ea posterior explosión da popularidade do deporte no estado, moitos novos ximnasios xurdiron nos últimos anos, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, máis que calquera outra cousa, o tight-knit, ambiente familiar que se desenvolveu na instalación dende que abriu o ximnasio.
“A maior cousa que me gusta sobre o noso ximnasio, Gústame ir e ser unha parte da, é que hai un grupo moi humilde de alumnos e profesores,” 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.”
O “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 gañou a reputación dun respectuoso, classy, profesional, individuo simpático, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Eu intento tratar todos igualmente,” said Raio. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (no ximnasio), á súa vez, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, no caso de que non están actuando respectuoso cos profesores ou outros alumnos, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Nosa academia atrae, por algunha razón, persoas que están só nice persoas.”
Con máis e máis novos alumnos que vén a través da porta da súa academia, 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.
“Despois do último concerto (NEF XVIII), cando vin Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) ter o brazo levantado e Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Eu estaba tan feliz para os mozos,” 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), Eu dixen 'se somos 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 (Agosto 31, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, vai realizar as súas XIX mixtas-de artes marciais (MMA) evento, “NEF XIX,” o sábado, Setembro 12, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Mozo (0-0) de MMA de novo en Bangor está programa para facer a súa estrea contra Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) Tamén está programa para facer a súa estrea contra Hannah Sparrell (0-0) de First Class MMA en Brunswick.
Angela Young é a esposa de 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,” dixo Young, “non só na gaiola vir12 de setembro, 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, era máis sobre duradeira cos obstáculos e empurrando meus límites como un competidor de forma que non fora probado. Era sobre probar a min mesmo, meus adestradores e os meus compañeiros de equipo que eu gañei o meu dereito de pisar na gaiola.”
Onde no pasado as mulleres foron relegadas ao concerto de apertura e da novidade porcións de eventos deportivos de combate, como o boxeo, MMA feminino non só subiu ao status de igualdade cos homes MMA, ten, nalgúns aspectos, 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, eo seu maior atleta pago, é galo campión das súas mulleres Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 tarxeta vai estar na vangarda dun movemento para ampliar as oportunidades para as mulleres a nivel rexional.
“MMA para as mulleres non é moi diferente do que é para os homes,” afirmou Mozo. “Obviamente, MMA é un deporte predominantemente masculino, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. A través deste campo de loita que teñen confrontado, pelexaron e loitaron con equipo de loita de MMA de Young e eles foron implacablemente apoio. Sendo un dos primeiros loitadores do sexo feminino de Young certamente ten as súas presións (e estar casada co Sr.. Mozo) 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. Espero que as mulleres a poñer nun gran concerto, porque temos algo que probar. Engada sangue, suor e bágoas en formación e é mellor crer que eu estou supondo que os meus adversarios feito o mesmo. Dito, as mulleres van vir tras plantar a súa participación na gaiola NEF.”
Compañeiro de equipo tanto de Young, Kira Innocenti, así ten o seu oponente en “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, parecen estar de acordo coas opinións de Mozos sobre o rápido crecemento do MMA feminino.
“MMA feminino está en ascenso,” Dixo Innocenti. “Cada un dos cursos ensina unha muller algo que non sabe sobre si mesma. Eu xa vin isto construír confianza en min e moitos outros. Canto máis as mulleres sobre as esteiras, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, e eu a dar o mellor e ir á guerra, así como os guerreiros masculinos no MMA de Young facer. Temos a traballar duro para representar o noso ximnasio. Imos loitar con orgullo, paixón, e cos cantos máis fortes mirando por nós. Podo asegurar-vos que loitas das mulleres será inesquecible.”
“MMA feminino é un deporte só como calquera outro,” afirmou Reinheimer de Everett, Massachusetts. “Non é unha película de acción onde o heroe corre cara o bosque por tres días para adestrar cun mestre de artes marciais e, a continuación, derrota un exército enteiro. Non é unha pelexa de bar. Non é unha emboscada rúa. Esas mulleres son atletas serios que adestran dilixente para anos usando a mellor formación, equipos e recursos dispoñibles. As mulleres que compiten en deportes de combate gastar miles de horas de sangue, suor e bágoas perfeccionando o seu deporte. Eles fan sacrificios. Ademais, existen regras e prazos e precaucións de seguridade. Cando alguén non está familiarizado coa idea de MMA feminino, Eu comparalo con boxeo ou esgrima, 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. Meu opoñente e eu somos dous do serio, campos de traballador. Somos nais e hai que moita determinación e unidade para facer este deporte mentres malabarismo traballo e nenos. Teño benvida a traballar incansablemente con meu equipo desde a miña última loita para mellorar o meu xogo en todos os aspectos. Son moi grata pola formación incrible e compañeiros de equipo na Sityodtong que me empurrar tan difícil. En setembro 12, pode esperar unha guerra.”
A maioría das persoas, homes e mulleres, 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, vellos e mozos, colo azul e colo branco, 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. Some, con todo, son mordidos polo bichinho competición.
“Fun presentado ao mundo MMA tras asinar a miña filla para as clases de Jiu Jitsu pensando que sería beneficioso para ela ao aspecto de auto defensa implicado no deporte,” Hanna recordou Sparrell. “Vin cando caeu no amor co xogo, gañando forza e confianza, 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, e, a continuación, en definitiva, quixo explotar outros aspectos do mundo do MMA. Estar no ximnasio se tornou unha segunda casa para min e miña filla, meus socios de adestramento, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, é unha proba de atletismo, así como unha proba de unidade mental e emocional. Desde que se introduciu ao mundo do MMA puxen o meu corpo, corazón, e alma na formación, e competindo nesta loita é importante para min por moitas razóns, non só para representar a min mesmo e meu traballo duro, pero tamén para representar todo o traballo duro, dedicación, e impulso que recibín dos meus amigos, instrutores, socios de adestramento, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, Lo fisicamente é un gran adestramento, e é tamén unha boa forma de "terapia", ao final dun día posiblemente estresante. Teño moitas mulleres que eu adestramento con, non todos están pensando en combate, pero os beneficios do deporte aínda están alí, e eles adoran o mesmo.”
Innocenti, como moitos, participou en deportes de loita como un xeito de entrar en, e estar en, 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.
“Testing myself in a mixed martial arts bout is important to me in many regards. Dous anos, I was overweight and struggling to find a healthy, fulfilling path. One day, I woke up and took life by the reigns and in half a year, lost sixty pounds on my own. I welcomed that challenge, succeeded, and wanted another. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey told me about Young’s MMA and I was compelled to check it out. After stepping through the doors, trying out all of the classes, and meeting the family who made it so special, I was hooked. Eu fíxenlle un obxectivo a ser un dos primeiros loitadores do sexo feminino no equipo loita, sen dúbida, o máis dominante en Nova Inglaterra. Eu sempre fun un rival. Eu gusto de me desafiar e empurrar os límites que son pensados para ser imposible de alcanzar. Vivir a vida de artes marciais mixtas é difícil. Ela esixe máis dedicación que eu imaxinaba posible. Rompe constrúe e volta para a persoa que realmente é. Esta loita é importante porque eu teño sido mimado cun equipo incrible ao meu lado que se ensina polos adestradores máis motivar e incentivar. Estou determinado a facelos orgullosos e agradece-los coa miña man sendo levantadas.”
“Mixed Martial Arts é o derradeiro exame do espírito humano en todos os niveis: fisicamente, mentalmente, e emocionalmente,” dixo Reinheimer. “Eu teño un desexo ardente de saber ata onde podo ir. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, miña vida se tornou menos boundary-. Miña vida na esteira mellorou a miña vida fóra do tatame e viceversa. É arrancada todas as distraccións innecesarias e destilada a miña vida para abaixo para o que realmente importa, dentro e fóra do anel de. Eu sinto que me axudou a chegar a ser moito máis preto da miña propia fe. É o mellor das artes marciais antigas e vida moderna.”
Das catro mulleres que loitan na “NEF XIX” tarxeta, 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 en Lewiston está animado pola oportunidade.
“NEF é unha promoción sólido con unha gran reputación,” dixo Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Eu non podo esperar!”
“Eu creo que os fans poden esperar un gran concerto de feito,” exclamou Sparrell. “Máis veces que non loitas das mulleres teñen probado ser moi divertido, Nós, por suposto, queren probar connosco dignos neste deporte dominado polos homes destacado. Esta é a estrea de tres de cada catro das mulleres neste tarxeta, entón eu sei que vai ser unha morea de corazón e determinación lanzado para estas loitas. Sei, persoalmente, Estou moi animado para representar! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; Teño observado que moitos dos loitadores que idolatram e mirar para arriba neste deporte dende as gradas do Banco Androscoggin Colisée, tendo a oportunidade de agora estar aí con eles realmente é unha verdadeira honra.”
