Lewiston, Maine (Ottubru 21, 2016) – New England tissielet (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” nhar is-Sibt, Novembru 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee.Earlier today, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.
Fil-avveniment prinċipali, “Il” Ryan Sanders(10-8) se jiltaqa 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. coach” battalja. “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 “Bla ħniena” Lacey (3-0) u Taylor Trahan(6-6) fi bout featherweight. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” aħħar xahar. 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) u 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), filwaqt Phil Chiasson(0-0) jissodisfa Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics.

Lewiston, Maine (Marzu 31, 2016) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza avveniment li jmiss tagħha, “NEF 22: It-toroq kollha ĊOMB HERE” fuq IS-SIBT, April 23, 2016 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisée fil Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, 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 “Il Cannon” Berry(11-1, 7 Kos) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’sJames Lester (10-9, 4 Kos). 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 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” biex “Il Cannon” and his legion of fans.
After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” aħħar xahar, 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 “Il Viking” Erickson (6-4) u 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” u “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed betweenJosh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) u Matt “Ken Doll” 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 “Bla ħniena” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran“Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) fi bout featherweight. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.
That title will not stay vacant very long asCaleb Hall (6-3) u 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” jaqgħu aħħar, 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) u “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.

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) fi “NEF XIX” fil 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, fuq 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.’ That being said, 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. Fuq 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,” iddikjarat 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.’ Din id-darba, madankollu, my hand will be raised.”

Lewiston, Maine (Settembru 3, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-dsatax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XIX,” nhar is-Sibt, Settembru 12, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisée fil 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) u Nick Shea (1-0) mill-Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Recently, Fundatur Ewwel Klassi MMA u head coach John “Ewwel Klassi” Ray ssieħbu NEF ko-proprjetarju u matchmaker Matt Peterson bħala l-mistieden fuq il-Podcast NEF.
Dan passat Ġunju, 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, inkluż il-preparazzjoni Sparrell, Velado u Shea għall bouts li jmiss tagħhom.
“I definittivament jistgħu jagħmlu ħafna aktar ħin fil ġellieda tiegħi kif ukoll tal-familja tiegħi,” Said Ray. “Il-ġellieda, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, meta int taħriġ għal ġlieda, irrispettivament minn kemm inti tipprova tiffoka fuq Nick Shea jew Nick Gully jew Hannah Sparrell jew Rafael jew xi ġellieda tagħna, inti ma tistax verament tpoġġi 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, familja tiegħek u gidjien tiegħek.”
Peress li l-twelid ta 'NEF kmieni 2012, u l-isplużjoni sussegwenti tal-popolarità tal-isport fl-istat, gyms ġodda ħafna mmullata fl-aħħar snin, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, aktar minn kull ħaġ'oħra, l-maħdumin tight, atmosfera bħal-familja li żviluppat fil-faċilità peress li huwa fetaħ il-gym.
“L-akbar ħaġa I simili dwar gym tagħna, I igawdu għaddejjin u li jkunu parti mill, huwa hemm grupp umli ħafna ta 'studenti u għalliema,” 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.”
Il “Ewwel Klassi” 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 qalgħu l-reputazzjoni ta 'rispettuż, classy, professjonali, individwali likeable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.
“Nipprova biex jikkura kulħadd bl-istess mod,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (fil-ġinnasju), imbagħad, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, jekk dawn mhux qed jaġixxu rispettuż għall-għalliema jew l-istudenti l-oħra, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Ġinnasju tagħna jattira, għal xi raġuni, nies li huma nies biss sbieħ.”
Bil aktar u aktar studenti ġodda li ġejjin permezz ta 'bieb ġinnasju tiegħu, 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.
“Wara l-aħħar ispettaklu (NEF XVIII), meta rajt Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) jkunu driegħ tiegħu mqajma u Rob (Robinson, 1-0), I kien tant kuntenti għal dawk guys,” 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), I qal "jekk immorru 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 (Awissu 31, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-dsatax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XIX,” nhar is-Sibt, Settembru 12, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisée fil Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) tal MMA Young fil Bangor huwa skedat li tagħmel id-debutt tagħha kontra Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) huwa wkoll skedat li tagħmel id-debutt tagħha kontra Hannah Sparrell (0-0) minn Ewwel Klassi MMA fil Brunswick.
Angela Żgħażagħ huwa l-mara ta '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,” qal Young, “mhux biss fil-gaġġa jiġuSettembru 12, 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, kien aktar dwar dejjiema permezz ta 'l-ostakli u timbotta limiti tiegħi bħala kompetitur b'mod li ma kienx eżaminat. Din kienet madwar jipprova li myself, coaches tiegħi u teammates tiegħi li jien qalgħu dritt tiegħi li pass fil-gaġġa.”
Fejn fil-nisa li għaddew ġew relegati għall-porzjonijiet sideshow u novità ta 'avvenimenti sportivi miġġielda, bħal boxing, MMA tan-nisa mhux biss telgħet għal status indaqs MMA irġiel, hija għandha, f'ċerti modi, 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, u atleta mħallsa tagħha ogħla, huma n-nisa tiegħu l-bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 karta se tkun fuq quddiemnett ta 'moviment li jespandi l-opportunitajiet għan-nisa fuq il-livell reġjonali.
“MMA għan-nisa mhuwiex immensament differenti milli hi għall-irġiel,” iddikjarat Young. “Ovvjament, MMA huwa sport predominanti maskili, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Permezz ta 'dan kamp ġlieda jien grappled, sparred u wrestled mal MMA tim ġlieda tal-Young u dawn ġew unrelentingly appoġġ. Hija waħda mill-ewwel ġellieda femminili barra mill Young ċertament pressjonijiet tagħha (kif ukoll jiżżewweġ lis-Sur. 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. Nistenna-nisa li jitpoġġew fuq juru kbir għaliex aħna għandna xi ħaġa biex tipprova. I poġġew demm, għaraq u tiċrit fit-taħriġ u inti aħjar jemmnu jien jekk wieħed jassumi avversarji tiegħi għamlu l-istess. That being said, il-nisa huma se jiġu wara lill-pjanti sehem tagħhom fil-gaġġa NEF.”
Sieħbu kemm Young, Kira Innocenti, kif ukoll għandha avversarju tagħha fil “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, jidhru li jaqblu mal-fehmiet Young dwar it-tkabbir mgħaġġel ta 'MMA tan-nisa.
“MMA tan-nisa qed jiżdied,” Said Innocenti. “Kull dixxiplina tgħallem xi ħaġa mara hi ma tkunx taf dwar ruħha. Rajt dan jibni fiduċja fil myself u ħafna oħrajn. L-aktar nisa fuq il-twapet, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, u myself biex jagħtuh tagħna kollu u jmorru għall-gwerra bħad-ġellieda maskili fil MMA Young nagħmlu. Aħna ħadmu iebes li jirrappreżentaw gym tagħna. Aħna se ġlieda bi kburija, passjoni, u mal-kantunieri b'saħħithom tfittex out għalina. Nista 'nassigurakom li l bouts tan-nisa se jkunu unforgettable.”
“MMA tan-Nisa huwa sport biss bħal kull oħra,” iddikjarat Reinheimer ta Everett, Massachusetts. “Huwa mhux movie azzjoni fejn l-eroj runs out fil-boskijiet għal tlett ijiem li jħarreġ bil-arti marzjali kaptan u mbagħad tkisser armata kollu. Mhuwiex brawl bar. Mhuwiex issajjar sqaq lura. Dawn in-nisa huma l-atleti serji li ferrovija diliġenti għas-snin li jużaw l-aħjar taħriġ, tagħmir u riżorsi disponibbli. Nisa li jikkompetu fil-isports miġġielda jonfqu eluf ta 'sigħat ta' demm, għaraq u tiċrit tipperfezzjona l-isport tagħhom. Huma jagħmlu sagrifiċċji. Barra minn hekk, hemm regoli u limiti ta 'żmien u prekawzjonijiet ta' sigurtà. Meta xi ħadd ikun familjari mal-idea ta 'MMA tan-nisa, I titqabbel ma boxing jew ċnut, 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. Avversarju tiegħi u I huma t-tnejn min-nuqqas, kampijiet hardworking. Aħna kemm għall-ommijiet u li tieħu ħafna ta 'determinazzjoni u sewqan biex jagħmlu dan l-isport filwaqt li juggling xogħol u t-tfal. Ili naħdem bla heda mat-tim tiegħi mill-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi biex ittejjeb logħba tiegħi f'kull aspett. I am so grat għat-taħriġ u l-aqwa teammates fil Sityodtong li timbotta me so hard. Dwar Settembru 12, ghandek tistenna gwerra.”
Ħafna individwi, kemm irġiel u n-nisa, 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, anzjani u żgħażagħ, kullar blu u għonq abjad, 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, madankollu, huma bitten mill-bug kompetizzjoni.
“I ġie introdott biex id-dinja MMA wara l-iffirmar tifla tiegħi għal klassijiet Jiu Jitsu ħsieb ikun ta 'benefiċċju għall tagħha għall-aspett awto-difiża involuti fl-isport,” fakkar Hanna Sparrell. “I jaraw kif hi waqa 'fl-imħabba mal-kaċċa, jiksbu s-saħħa u l-kunfidenza, 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, u mbagħad finalment riedu biex tesplora l-aspetti l-oħra tad-dinja MMA. Li tkun fil-gym saret it-tieni dar għalija u t-tifla tiegħi, imsieħba taħriġ tiegħi, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, huwa test ta 'athleticism, kif ukoll test ta 'sewqan mentali u emozzjonali. Sa minn meta ġiet introdotta għall-arti marzjal dinja mħallta I poġġew korp tiegħi, qalb, u ruħ fit-taħriġ, u jikkompetu f'dan bout huwa importanti li lili għal ħafna raġunijiet, mhux biss li jirrappreżentaw myself u x-xogħol iebes tiegħi, iżda wkoll biex jirrappreżenta l-ħidma iebsa, dedikazzjoni, u l-inkoraġġiment Irċevejt mill-ħbieb tiegħi, instructors, imsieħba taħriġ, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, huwa fiżikament huwa workout kbir, u huwa wkoll forma tajba ta '"terapija" fl-aħħar tal-jum possibilment stressanti. Għandi ħafna nisa I iħarrġu mal, mhux kollha kemm qed tippjana fuq il-ġlieda, imma l-benefiċċji ta 'l-isport għad hemm, u dawn imħabba hija biss l-istess.”
Innoċenti, bħal ħafna, sar involuti fl-isports ġlieda bħala mod biex jagħmlu, u jibqgħu fil, 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.
“Ittestjar myself fil arti marzjal bout mħallta hija importanti għalija f'ħafna rigward. Sentejn ilu, I kien piż żejjed u titħabat biex issib b'saħħithom, triq li jissodisfaw. Ġurnata waħda, I woke up u ħa l-ħajja mill-sodisfatti bir u f'nofs sena, mitlufa sittin liri fuq tiegħi stess. I laqgħu din l-isfida, irnexxielu, u riedu ieħor. Aaron “Bla ħniena” Lacey told me dwar MMA Young u I kien kostrett li check out. Wara titjib permezz tal-bibien, jippruvaw out kollha tal-klassijiet, u li jissodisfa d-familja li għamel hekk speċjali, I kien hooked. I għamilha għan li jkun wieħed mill-ewwel ġellieda nisa fuq it-tim ġlieda forsi l-aktar dominanti fi New England. I dejjem kienu kompetitur. I igawdu sfida myself u timbotta limiti li huma maħsuba li jkunu impossibbli li jintlaħqu. Jgħixu l-arti marzjal stil ta 'ħajja mħallta hija iebsa. Hija teħtieġ aktar dedikazzjoni minn qatt I immaġina possibbli. Pawżi inti u tibni inti back up fil-persuna int verament huma. Din il-ġlieda huwa importanti għaliex I ġew maħmuġ ma 'tim aqwa minn naħa tiegħi li hija mgħallma mill-coaches aktar motivanti u inkoraġġanti. I am determinat li jagħmluhom kburi u nirringrazzjahom b'id tiegħi li jitqajjmu.”
“Imħallat Martial Arts hija t-test aħħari ta 'l-ispirtu tal-bniedem fuq kull livell: fiżikament, mentalment, u emozzjonalment,” qal Reinheimer. “Għandi xewqa ħruq biex tkun taf kemm I tista 'tmur. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, ħajja tiegħi saret konfini-inqas. Ħajti fuq il-tapit tjiebet ħajja tiegħi off-tapit u viċi versa. Huwa imqaxxar bogħod l-distrazzjonijiet bla bżonn u distillat ħajja tiegħi isfel sa dak li verament importanti, u 'l barra taċ-ċirku. Inħoss bħal dan għen lili jsir ħafna eqreb lejn awtentiċi awto tiegħi. Hu l-aħjar ta 'arti marzjali antika u ħajja moderna.”

“NEF huwa l-promozzjoni solidu li jkollha reputazzjoni kbira,” qal Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. I ma jistgħux jistennew!”
“Naħseb li l-fannijiet jistgħu jistennew juru tassew kbar,” exclaimed Sparrell. “Iktar iva milli le tissielet tan-nisa taw prova li huma ferm divertenti, aħna naturalment trid tipprova nfusna denja f'dan l-isport b'mod prominenti maskili dominati. Dan huwa l-debutt ta tlieta minn erba 'nisa fuq din il-karta, so I know hemm se jkun hemm ħafna ta 'qalb u determinazzjoni jintefa' fil dawn tissielet.
