NEF 26 MMA CARD FEATURES WOMEN’S FIGHTS, TITLE FIGHTS, RETURNS, DEBUTS AND MORE

Lewiston, Maine (October 21, 2016) – New England njà (NEF) ṣe afihan iṣẹlẹ atẹle adalu-ti ologun-ọna, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” lojo satide, Kọkànlá Oṣù 19 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Sẹyìn loni, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.

 

Ni awọn akọkọ iṣẹlẹ, “Awọn” Ryan Sanders (10-8) yoo pade Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sandersfirst fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered adream matchby Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanderscamp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature an interestingcoach vs. ẹlẹsin” ogun. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founder Josh 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 prospect Aaron “Oró” Lacey (3-0) ati Taylor Trahan (6-6) ni a featherweight ija. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents atNEF 25” osu to koja. 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 between Nick “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) ati 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 forNEF 26.JessicaThe Black WidowBorga (2-2) returns from Florida to meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Brianne Genschel (0-0). Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) will also be in action against Fernanda Araújo (4-4-2).

SECOND WOMEN’S FIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 26

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). Ti o ija, a back and forth battle, has been one of the most memorable this year in NEF and could be in the running for “Ija ti Odun” 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 on November 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. Ni 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.

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (March 31, 2016) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-tókàn iṣẹlẹ, “NEF 22: GBOGBO ona ja nibi” lori Saturday, April 23, 2016 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Sẹyìn loni, NEF kede ni kikun ija kaadi fun awọn iṣẹlẹ. 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 “The Cannon” Berry(11-1, 7 KOs) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James 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 “afiniṣeijẹ” si “The Cannon” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “21 NEF” osu to koja, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon 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 be Jesse “Awọn Viking” Erickson (6-4) ati 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 on The 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,” wi NEF àjọ-eni ati olugbeleke 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” ati “wilddo not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) ati 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 on April 23rd.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate Aaron “Oró” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) ni a featherweight ija. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Kalebu Hall (6-3) ati 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” kẹhin isubu, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Angela Young(0-1) ati “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

WOMEN’S MMA FIGHT CONFIRMED FOR NEF 22 IN Lewiston

Lewiston, Maine (March 8, 2016) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-tókàn iṣẹlẹ, “NEF 22: GBOGBO ona ja nibi” lori Saturday, April 23, 2016 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Sẹyìn loni, NEF announced the addition of an amateur women’s featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” ija kaadi. “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0) yoo jagun 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) ni “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 atNEF 22.

 

I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, lori 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.’ Ti o a wi, 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 nightperformance, 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. Lori 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,” so 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.’ Ni akoko yi, sibẹsibẹ, my hand will be raised.

“Mo ti pato le fi a Pupo diẹ akoko sinu mi onija bi daradara bi ebi mi,” Said Ray. “Awọn awọn onija, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me.

“The tobi ohun ti mo fẹ nipa wa idaraya, Mo gbadun lọ ati jije a apa ti, jẹ nibẹ ni a onirele ẹgbẹ ti omo ile ati oluko,” 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.

 

Awọn “Akọkọ Kíláásì” 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 mina ni rere ti a respectful, didara, ọjọgbọn, likeable olukuluku, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Mo gbiyanju lati toju gbogbo ènìyàn se,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ni-idaraya), leteto, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ti o ba ti won ba ko anesitetiki respectful si awọn oluko tabi awọn miiran omo ile, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave.

Pẹlu siwaju ati siwaju sii titun omo ile bọ nipasẹ rẹ idaraya enu, 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.

“MMA fun awọn obirin ni ko hugely o yatọ ju ti o jẹ fun awọn ọkunrin,” so Young. “O han ni, MMA jẹ akọ a bori idaraya, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Latara iwe yi mo ti ija ibudó grappled, sparred ati jijakadi pẹlu awọn Young ká MMA ija egbe ati ti wọn ti ti unrelentingly atilẹyin. Jije ọkan ninu awọn akọkọ obirin awọn onija jade ti Young ká esan ni awọn oniwe-mọni (bi daradara bi ni iyawo si Ọgbẹni. 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. Mo ti reti awọn obirin lati fi on a nla show nitori a ma ni nkankan si lati fi mule.

Mejeeji Young ká teammate, Kira Innocenti, bi daradara ni o ni rẹ alatako ni “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, dabi lati concur pẹlu Young ká wiwo lori awọn dekun idagbasoke ti awọn obirin ká MMA.

 

“Women ká MMA jẹ lori awọn jinde,” Said Innocenti. “Kọọkan discipline kọni a obinrin nkankan o ko ko mo nipa ara. Mo ti ri ti o kọ igbekele ninu ara mi ati ọpọlọpọ awọn miran. Awọn obirin sii lori awọn awọn maati, awọn dara. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, ati awọn ara mi lati fun o wa gbogbo ki o si lọ si ogun kan bi awọn ọkunrin alagbara ni Young ká MMA ṣe.

“Women ká MMA jẹ a idaraya kan fẹ eyikeyi miiran,” so Reinheimer ti Everett, Massachusetts. “O ni ko ohun igbese movie ibi ti awọn akoni gbalaye jade sinu awọn Woods fun ọjọ mẹta lati irin ni pẹlu a ti ologun ona oluwa ati ki o si ṣẹgun ohun gbogbo ogun.

Lori Kẹsán 12, o le reti a ogun.”

 

Ọpọlọpọ awọn ẹni-kọọkan, mejeeji awọn ọkunrin ati awọn obirin, 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, arugbo ati ọmọde, bulu kola ati funfun kola, 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, sibẹsibẹ, ti wa ni buje nipa awọn idije kokoro.

 

“Mo ti a ṣe si awọn MMA aye lẹhin wíwọlé ọmọbinrin mi soke fun Jiu Jitsu kilasi lerongba o yoo jẹ anfani ti rẹ fun awọn ara olugbeja aspect lowo ninu awọn idaraya,” idasi Hanna Sparrell. “Mo ti wo bi o ṣubu ni ife pẹlu awọn ere, nini agbara ati igbekele, 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, ati ki o be fe lati Ṣawari awọn miiran ti awọn MMA aye. Kikopa ninu awọn idaraya ti di a keji ile fun mi ati awọn ọmọbinrin mi, mi ikẹkọ awọn alabašepọ, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, o ni a igbeyewo ti athleticism, bi daradara bi a igbeyewo ti opolo ati awọn ẹdun drive. Niwon ni a ṣe si awọn adalu ti ologun ona aye ti mo ti fi ara mi, okan, ati ọkàn sinu ikẹkọ, ati nfigagbaga lori yi ija jẹ pataki si mi fun ọpọlọpọ awọn idi, ko nikan lati soju fun ara mi ati iṣẹ mi lile, sugbon tun lati soju gbogbo iṣẹ àṣekára, ìyàsímímọ, ati itunu ti mo ti gba lati ọrẹ mi, oluko, ikẹkọ awọn alabašepọ, and fellow fighters along the way.

Innocenti, bi ọpọlọpọ awọn, di lowo ninu ija idaraya bi a ona lati gba ni, o si duro ni, 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.

 

“Dán ara mi ni a adalu ti ologun ona ija jẹ pataki si mi ni ọpọlọpọ awọn ṣakiyesi. Odun meji seyin, Mo ti wà apọju iwọn ati ki ìjàkadì lati ri kan ni ilera, a nmu ona.

Ninu awọn mẹrin awọn obirin ija lori awọn “NEF XIX” kaadi, 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 ni Lewiston wa ni yiya fun awọn anfani.

 

“NEF jẹ a ri to igbega pẹlu a nla rere,” wi Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Nko le duro!”

 

“Mo ro pe awọn egeb le reti a nla show nitõtọ,” exclaimed Sparrell. “Igba diẹ sii ju awọn obirin ko njà ti fihan lati wa ni lalailopinpin idanilaraya, a ti dajudaju fẹ lati fi mule ara wa yẹ ni yi iṣafihan akọ-ti jẹ gaba idaraya.

Lewiston, Maine (August 14, 2015) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-ọgọrun adalu-ologun-ona (MMA) ìṣẹlẹ, “NEF XIX: HOMECOMING,” lojo satide, Kẹsán 12, 2015 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. Sẹyìn loni, igbega kede ni ija kaadi fun awọn iṣẹlẹ ifihan kan ni kikun sileti ti awọn ọjọgbọn ati osere magbowo MMA matchups.

 

Awọn iṣẹlẹ ti wa ni aptly ti akole “Homecoming” as it will feature the returns of several athletes who have either been recently inactive or competing outside the NEF umbrella. One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) lati Ithaca, Niu Yoki. Maine and the NEF cage became a home-away-from-home for Heyliger and several of his Bombsquad teammates during the early days of the promotion. Heyliger competed regularly for NEF in 2012 and early 2013. His last appearance in the cage was in May 2013 lodi si Makosi “Awọn Irish Ọwọ grenade” Davis (22-11) ninu awọn ifilelẹ ti awọn iṣẹlẹ ti “NEF VII.” Heyliger will make his return on Kẹsán 12 lodi si Brandon Chagnon (5-4) ti Sityodtong.

 

Awọn ọjọgbọn ẹgbẹ ninu awọn kaadi yoo tun ẹya-ara awọn homecoming ti Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (1-0) after a 10-month extended layoff from action. Denning made his professional debut last November with a win over Derek Shorey (2-2). He will return in front of his hometown crowd against Zenon “Ka-bar” Herrera(0-1).

 

On soro ti ilu awọn onija, Jesse “Awọn Viking” Erickson (5-4), kan lọdọ awọn ti adugbo Obonu, Maine, yoo wo lati fa rẹ win ṣiṣan-to mẹta nigbati o bi mẹẹta Ricky “Savage” Sylvester (2-1). Sylvester’s previous appearance in NEF ended in controversy when many felt he held an armbar a little too long on Tollison Lewis (0-4).

 

Lori awọn magbowo ẹgbẹ ti awọn kaadi, Josh Harvey (4-1) is scheduled to headline in the first defense of his NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title. Harvey will meet the stiff challenge of Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-2) lati John Fain ká Team Ijagunmolu / Boston BJJ ti Nashua, New Hampshire. Harvey won the vacant title this past June with a first-round submission of Ricky Dexter (3-1).

 

Awọn magbowo ìka ti awọn kaadi yio tun ẹya-ara ko ọkan, but two women’s contests. Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine will be represented in both bouts with Angela Young (0-0) ati Kira Innocenti (0-0) making their respective debuts. Angela is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. She will meet Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) lati Sityodtong nigba ti Innocenti yoo square si pa lodi si Hannah Sparrell ti Àkọkọ Kíláásì MMA.
