FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A SHOT AT THE GOLD, JACKSON AND VELADO TAKE MMA CAREERS TO A NEW LEVEL AT NEF 25

Kite yon kòmantè

 

Pa: Kalle Oakes

Humility is the undertone for any conversation with Jimmy Jackson about his mixed martial arts career. It was a humbling experience that twisted Rafael Velado’s arm into the world of combat sports in the first place.

One of the men will depart Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston wielding a source of pride – the New England Fights amateur lightweight championship belt – after their clash at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” this Samdi, Septanm 10.

Mention the idea of his earning a title shot in the hexagon and Jackson (3-2) almost can’t withhold a laugh.

“It’s a big opportunity for someone like me,” Jackson said. “I never thought I would be fighting for a title. I’ve had a ton of teammates come up to me and say, ‘You deserve this! Way to go!’ I just never thought of myself as that top-tier fighter. I’ve always been the guy kind of behind the scenes.”

Easy enough for the Bangor fighter to blend in, considering that he trains at Young’s MMA with the likes of Aaron “Relentless” Lacey, “The” Ryan Sanders, and Josh “Hook On” Harvey.

Fighting for the belt vacated by stablemate Harvey isn’t an endeavor that would have entered Jackson’s mind back in 2012, when he accepted a fight in Vermont on a relative lark. He won via submission, with a choke, nan 96 segonn.

“My training started out as me and a few other guys messing around in a basement,” Jackson said. “My first fight was spur of the moment. I won and it sort of got the adrenaline going, tankou, ‘I can do this. I did pretty good.’”

Through a co-worker, he connected up with Young’s MMA.

After a learning curve that included back-to-back losses in 2013, Jackson steadily improved and defeated two consecutive opponents to earn his title opportunity.

“It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s truly a family. These are guys who truly stand by each other, in hard times, bad times, in and out of the gym,” Jackson said of wearing Young’s colors. “But on the flip side, everybody’s watching you, expecting a certain amount of entertainment from you. I want to perform at such a level that people are excited to watch me fight.”

While most fighters go through the drudgery of training in order to bask in the glory of fight night, Jackson contends that it’s the training he loves most. And entering the cage, he claims, is not about him.

“Fighting, m ', is just what I can do to show everybody what my coaches have accomplished,” Jackson said. “They sacrifice so much to give us fighters the recognition and they get very little recognition in return. The only reason I get in the cage is to represent them.”

Jackson gravitated to MMA with minimal experience in combat sports. Velado, of Norridgewock, brought a decade of jiu-jitsu and a black belt to the table.

That journey had less glamorous beginnings, sepandan.

“In July 2005, I was playing basketball and a guy on my own team, if you can believe it, punched me in the face. He took exception to something and he messed me up pretty good,” Velado said. “From watching UFC, I thought I knew what to do to defend myself, and I pulled him down with an arm bar. Pathetically, but I pulled him down.”

Velado called it a reality check, one that led him to enroll in jiu-jitsu classes taught by Aaron Blake in Boothbay Harbor.

“I think all guys think they will be able to defend themselves in a situation, and most of those guys are wrong,” Velado said.

In more than three years of tournament competition, Velado said he fought more than 50 times and lost only three matches.

He grew restless and sought a new challenge. It led him to John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham. Velado was primed for his debut, but a sparring session with heavyweight teammate Nick Gulliver led to a torn MCL in his knee.

“That took about six to eight months before I fully recovered,” Velado said. “I dropped in on John again in April 2015, and we got a plan together. He got me in there with a lot of good wrestler types, including himself. He let me train with Marcus Davis and some other guys to expand my skill set.”

Velado has won three times in NEF, capped by a split decision over Mike Peitersen of Young’s.

“You’re in for a war. Young’s guys, they’re great. They’re all respectful. They train like savages,” Velado said. “Look who he’s training against…Those guys could fight anywhere in the United States and do well. You can’t not get better training against guys like that. You can’t not be a stud.”

Jackson, who said that MMA has lowered his stress level while reminding him that there is nothing else in life he can’t handle, hinted that he is the underdog on paper.

“He went three rounds with Mike Pietersen, and Mike is a tough dude. I know he’s a black belt in jits,” Jackson said. “I’m taking a realistic approach. I’m more focused on what I need to do and can’t worry about what he’s going to do. I don’t think he’s going to show me anything that I can’t handle.”

The question, Velado said, is whether or not Jackson’s modesty suggests any level of uncertainty.

“The difference between us is that I know I have jiu-jitsu in my tool box. He doesn’t have anything like that in his tool box that I know of,” Velado said. “He’s going to see what level he’s at in this fight. He’s going to find a way to get past me, or he’s going to take a step back and say is this something I really want to be doing? He definitely has to have confidence if he wants to beat me.”

The opening bell on this Samdi, Septanm 10 se mete pou 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps.

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

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 28, 2016) – Less than 24-hours after the announcement of the amateur light-heavyweight title fight between Young’s MMA’s Victor Irwin (2-0) and First Class MMA’s Nick Shea (2-0), fight promotion New England Fights (Nef) released a second championship bout between the two gyms at “Nef 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” Undefeated Rafael “Air Guard” Velado (3-0), Shea’s teammate at First Class MMA, se pwograme fè fas a Jimmy Jackson (3-2), a teammate of Irwin at Young’s MMA, for the vacant NEF mixed-martial-arts (Mma) amateur lightweight title. The title was previously held by Josh Harvey (1-0) of Young’s MMA and vacated last April when he moved up to the professional ranks.

 

“Premye a tout, I appreciate the opportunity that NEF has given me to show my skills in the cage,” Di Velado. “There are other promotions in New England, but nobody puts on a show like NEF. I’ve made it very clear that I am here to fight the toughest guys I can and once again I’m getting my way.”

 

In Velado’s last fight, he took on and defeated Mike Peitersen (3-1). In doing so, Velado handed him the first loss of his career. Peitersen is another teammate of Jimmy Jackson at Young’s MMA.

 

“Leading up to the Mike Peitersen fight, he and I respectfully challenged each other to train hard and bring it,” Velado continued. “I believe that we did that and then some. Now I have another Young’s fighter in front of me and I couldn’t be happier. Jimmy Jackson has been looking good in his last few outings and I believe we are a good match-up. I see a trend of BJJ players who come over into MMA and think they are just going to jits their way through every fight. I can assure you that I am not that guy and you will see a constant evolution of skills in my fights.”

 

Jackson will have the opportunity to gain a measure of revenge for his team against Velado. After starting his amateur career at 1-2, Jackson has won his last two in a row, including a submission victory over Kris Welch (0-1) nan “NEF 16” ane pase a.

 

“Fighting Raf is a huge opportunity for me – an opportunity I am very grateful for,” said Jackson when reached for comment. “This is the time for me to show how far I’ve come and how much time and work Chris Young (Young’s MMA head coach) and the rest of the coaching staff and team have put into making me the best version of myself. Mwen fè sa pou yo, my team and my family.”

 

“I am pumped to be fighting alongside my First Class MMA brothers and sisters in September and I will be so proud to hand that 155 NEF Championship belt to John Raio (First Class MMA head coach) and tell him, ‘There’s more where that came from,'” said Velado in closing. “As far as ‘Heroes & Villains,’ I believe every man or woman who steps in that cage is a hero, but you have to have a little villain inside you to do what’s necessary to win.”

 

pwochen evènman New England Goumen ', "nèf 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, Septanm 10, 2016 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine.

Tyler King after retaining the Heavyweight Title on Saturday night

Lewiston, Maine (Fevriye 9, 2015) -Nouvo England Goumen’ (Nef) dènye melanje-masyal arts- (Mma) evènman "XVI nef,"Te pran plas Samdi swa nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. With temperatures dropping to below zero, ak menas la nan yon tanpèt nèj parèt sou zòn nan, plis pase 2,500 fight fans braved the elements to pack the state’s most venerable fight venue. The crowd was treated to a total of 24 batay aksyon-chaje, ki gen ladan kat epizod pwofesyonèl, de nan ki te pou nef mma senti tit.

 

Evènman an prensipal nan wè a aswè Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) unseat Ray “Tout biznis” Wood (5-1) to become the new NEF MMA Featherweight Champion. The loss spoiled what was expected to be a triumphant return home for Wood. The native of Bucksport, Maine te demenaje ale rete nan South Carolina nan 2014 yo pouswiv objektif li nan konpetisyon nan ultim koup la Goumen (Ch). Morrison was considered Wood’s toughest challenge to date, li te gen tèt li konpetisyon sou sèn nasyonal la nan la ap ak Dezyèm ekstrèm Cagefighting (WEC). Toujou, Wood te rekonèt kòm pi renmen an pral antre nan bout la Samdi lannwit.

The loss was also the sole blemish on what was otherwise a perfect night for Young’s MMA. The Bangor, Ekip Maine ki baze sou te genyen uit epizod anvan yo sou kou a nan aswè a, an amazing feat considering that the Young’s corners were often running back and forth from the cage to the locker room to prepare their fighters for bouts that were mere moments apart from each other. Of particular note, batay la ouvèti ki nan yon kat la chin an tap Josh Harvey (3-1) nan chire Young a nan dis tèt--klase amatè plum Kalèb Hall (5-2) ak yon pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI) victory a mere 36-seconds into the first round. Apre sa, Dernye manm ekip Young nan, Carl Langston (4-7), te resevwa genyen premye l 'tout tan tout tan sou Maine tè avèk yon desizyon sou Sheldon Bang (1-2) nan yon rematch nan yon bout Langston te pèdi nan “Nef XIII” ane pase a.

 

Ekip Ilandè Marcus Davis nan ale 2-0 sou nwit la la ak Ricky Dexter(2-0) davwa ke yo pran dezyèm genyen an nan karyè l ', li amatè Rick Matthews (1-1) getting his first victory. 44-year old Matthews won a decision over Emmett Huber (0-1) pandan y ap Dexter bay nòt yon gwo pentch sou Cory Jijman (0-1) nan-wonn nan dezyèm, voye Jijman nan yon lopital ki tou pre nan pwosesis la.

 

Debouchur Highlight-bobine te par pou kou a nan “Nef XVI.” Among them, Ch, La ap ak Strikeforce veteran Nah-Shon “Rock-n-Rolla nan” Burrell (11-5) te deja sanglan Ryan Hodge(6-10) before knocking him out in the first round of their professional middleweight contest. The most-talked-about knockout of the evening, sepandan, te ale nan Kalèb FARRINGTON (2-0) Ekip New England United (NEW) ki moun ki tonbe Brandon “Enigm a” Russell (0-1) with a single right hand just 8-seconds into the first round. The knockout broke the all-time record of 11-seconds previously set by Buck “Knuckles” Pineau (7-4) nan mwa avril 2012.

 

Plis istwa te fèt nan “Nef XVI” lè yon papa l 'ak pa gen yon sèl, but two of his sons competed on the same MMA card. Following losses by his sons, Sheldon ak Steve Bang (3-3), Dr. Steve Bang(1-0), yon manm nan Central Maine brezilyen jyu-jitsu (CMBJJ), entered the NEF MMA cage to a loud ovation from the crowd. The bariatric surgeon wasted little time in going to work on his opponent, Matye Hanning (0-1), pran l 'desann ak bate soti yon viktwa via abit-estopaj.

 

NFL ak ch Ultim konba a veteran Tyler wa (8-2) avèk siksè defann Tit la nef mma lour nan evènman an ko-prensipal nan mitan lannwit lan, bat Terry “Polè Bear a” Blackburn (5-3). King stormed into the arena with a determined fire in his eyes. Mid-way through the first round, Wa pran blackburn desann nan kabann lan ak travay yon soumisyon Kimura, forcing Blackburn to tap-out. During his post-fight victory interview in the cage, Wa rele yon touye nan heavyweights ak limyè-heavyweights ki gen ladan non lokal tankou Eric Bedard (6-5), kòm byen ke zetwal nasyonal tankou Muhammad la ap la “Wa Mo” Lawal (14-4).

Destriktè pi nouvo an KONBAT EKIP NOISE FÈ MAINE'S nan kalòj la mma

Kite yon kòmantè

Lewiston, Maine (Fevriye 3, 2015) -Nouvo England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, prezante pwochen melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman sa a Samdi night at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card, ki gen tit “Nef XVI,” ap prezante de manm nan dernye ekip batay Maine nan, San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè, nan epizod amatè.

 

San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè te fonde an 2014 by veteran fighter Josh Parker (4-8). Parker has a long history in the NEF MMA cage, li te gen konpetisyon sèt fwa pou pwomosyon nan batay ant fevriye 2012 ak novanm 2013. Plis dènyèman, Parker te rete soti nan kalòj la mma yo konsantre sou karyè li kòm yon boxer pwofesyonèl, menm jan tou bilding jimnastik li.

 

Parker louvri jimnastik la nan Benton, Maine as a way of giving back to the fight community. He sees Ruthless MMA & Boxing as a means to introduce young athletes from the area to the burgeoning world of combat sports and provide them with opportunities to compete. That includes his own sons.

 

“Mwen te panse sou kòmanse pwòp mwen jimnastik pou yon ti tan kounye a,” Di Parker. “Batay premye mwen se te prèske dis ane de sa lè pitit gason m 'te twa. Now he’s 13 ak pare yo kòmanse pwòp karyè batay l ', ak mwen jis te gen yon lòt pitit gason. I knew it was time to build my boys a place where they can train whenever they want to. This is a fight family.”

 

Parker entwodwi premye protégé l ', Alex Johnson (1-1), in the fall of 2014. Johnson is coming off a win over Rick Matthews (0-1) nan yon brital, do-ak-soti riks a “Nef XV” sa a Novanm sot pase. The bout was considered by many to be the “Goumen nan mitan lannwit lan” nan ki kat.

 

Corey Jijman (0-0), yon lòt nan kandida Parker a, espere ke yo kontinye siksè nan mennen l 'bay San fwa ni lwa mma & Boxing by his teammate Alex Johnson. Trial makes his NEF MMA debut sa a Samdi lannwit nan Lewiston lè li satisfè Ricky Dexter (1-0) Ekip Ilandè nan yon konkou ki lejè.

 

“Mwen te toujou reve pou yo te kapab kout pyen yon moun nan figi a epi yo pa ale nan prizon pou li,” Jijman deklare. “Kounye a ke mwen gen ki opòtinite, ou pi bon kwè yon moun nan ap resevwa fè mal.”

 

“Style nou an se senp, nou renmen kanpe epi bang,” Parker elaborated. “Lè nou SPAR, nou renmen wè ki moun ki ka frape pi di a. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- jiskaske yo jwenn frape.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Mesye yo nan San fwa ni lwa soti nan tout mache nan lavi- si li te batay lari oswa kaj batay yo tout vin rive ak eksperyans voye pwen. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Valè nou yo se senp- lè ou vini nan ou kite mwa ou nan pòt la. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, w ap espere pote tèt ou kòm yon pwofesyonèl- espò ak respè yo se yon dwe.”

 

Bryant Orick (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, sepandan, be his first time in the cage. Orick, yon natif natal nan Ohio viv kounye a nan Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years. He is a veteran of eight bouts, goumen nan Buckeye Eta a, Kansas ak Indiana, to name a few states. Orick hopes to find a home and success in NEF alongside his Ruthless MMA & Boxing teammates. Nan “Nef XVI” fen semèn sa a, ORICK ap gen travay li koupe soti pou l 'ak undefeated Fred Lear (2-0) nan mma Young nan.

 

“Mwen vini soti nan fè yon non pou tèt mwen nan nef,” said Orick. “Se mwen menm ki ki byen balanse ak ale nan mete yo sou yon montre. I train hard every day, gen yon gwo antrenè ak koekipye. Nothing will surprise me in my upcoming bout.”

 

” Pou ou kab vin gen yon antrenè te moutre m 'yo ralanti li desann, epi pote l' tounen nan Basics yo,” Parker te deklare. “Goumen reyèlman se trè senp, frape nèg la lòt soti epi ou genyen. I demand 100% soti nan avyon de gè m ', ak mwen ba yo 100% tounen. Fighting is not a hobby, li nan yon fòm.”

 

San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè a sitiye nan Benton, Maine. You can learn more about the team at their Facebook page “San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè.”

The event is scheduled to originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. The show will mark the three-year anniversary of the company’s inception. NEF executives announced today that they were expecting one of the largest crowds ever for the wildly-popular fight promotion’s event.

 

“Evènman fevriye nou te toujou bato nou an,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Makonnen ak lefèt ke se kat sa a ki chaje ak ch, La ap, Veteran NFL, de batay tit, epi retounen nan Ray Wood (5-0), li nan pa gen sipriz ke lavant tikè yo te ale chemen an, yo ve yo te prale.”

 

Vreman vre, ticket sales have been at an all-time high for this event. It is not unusual for the fight promotion to sell out their floor seats for any given show. The sell-out, sepandan, has always come on fight night. The floor seats for “Nef XVI” yo te vann soti yon plen 17 days prior to the event. NEF executives give partial credit for the quick sales to the addition of complimentary waitress drink service for all cage-side ticketholders. They did not confirm whether or not the promotion was considering adding more floor seats for the event.

 

Kòm DiSalvo endike, fanatik yo reklam pou retounen nan nan Ray “Tout biznis” Wood ki moun ki pral defann Tit la nef mma Plum kont la ap ak Dezyèm ekstrèm Cagefighting (WEC) veteranAnthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (16-9). This will be Wood’s first homecoming after moving from Maine to South Carolina in late-2014.

 

“Mwen eksite pou sa a batay,” said Wood when reached for comment. “Mwen pa gen absoliman anyen a pèdi. Anthony Morrison has fought some of the best fighters in the world and I have an opportunity to make a statement with this fight. I improve my skills each time I step in the cage and I know that this showing will be no exception. I have respect for Anthony and where he’s been in this sport and I am honored to have the opportunity to fight him.”

 

Koekipyèr Wood la nan mma Young nan, Fred Lear (2-0), yo pral tap sou pòsyon nan amatè nan kat la nan yon bout catchweight kont Bryant ORRICK (3-5) from Ruthless MMA and Boxing. The fight will be contested at 140-pounds.

 

“Moun sa yo pouse m 'yo dwe yon pi bon avyon de gè, elèv, ak moun,” di Lear nan kamarad ekip li yo ak antrenè nan mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine. “Mwen rekonesan pou prezans yo nan lavi m ', li se yon bagay mwen pral trezò pou tout tan. Mwen onore yo dwe goumen pou mma Young nan.”

Pa kap pi lwen pase batay pwòp tèt li, Lear pwen soti twa matchups enteresan koekipye li Josh Harvey (2-1), Mike Pietersen (1-0) ak Arawon Lacey (4-1) pral konteste kont manm nan Enstiti a Choi nan Portland, Maine.

 

“Ki mennen jiska 'XVI nef,’ Mwen pa ka ede men mete aksan sou matchups nou ak Choi a,” Lear kontinye. “Nick Spencer [Opozan Lacey a (7-4)] se danjere toupatou, Henry Clark [Opozan Pietersen a (1-0)] la ap vini sou nan yon premye enpresyonan, epi mwen te li te ye Kalèb[Hall – Opozan Harvey la (5-1)] depi lekòl segondè epi pa gen okenn dout sou gravye l ', li talan. Atmosfè a nan Colisee a pral elèktrizant kòm sis avyon de gè-wo kalib gade yo kite mak yo.”

 

Hall ak Harvey yo mete yo louvri montre nan nan yon bout plum nan 7:00 pm sharp. Hall has competed on six previous NEF MMA events, e li te definitivman remake yon eksitasyon ogmante de fanatik ki mennen nan “Nef XVI.”

 

“Patisipe a se nan yon tan tout segondè paske nan tout UPS yo matche ak bon sou kat la,” noted Hall. “Sou Fevriye 7th, Mwen tann li nan dwe nwit la la pi eksitan ankò.”

 

Èske w gen te goumen pou pi piti pwomosyon nan tan lontan an, Harvey is clear that the size of the crowd does not matter to him. He will bring his A-game to the cage whether the fight be under the big lights in a world-famous arena like the Androscoggin Bank Colisee or held in a tiny, mal-limen chanm ak yon chèz kèk mete kanpe otou yon kaj.

 

“Personally it doesn’t matter who or how many people are watching,” stated Harvey. “Mwen pral mete yo sou yon montre si gen 20 people or 20,000. I love to entertain. After Caleb hooks on to me he’ll know he’s been in a fight.”

 

Jason Lachance (0-1) soti nan mma Athletix nan Bath, Maine se pwograme al kontre Steven Bang (3-2) nan Central Maine brezilyen jyu-jitsu nan Auburn, Maine nan “Nef XVI.” Lachance credits the level of talent on the NEF roster with bringing in large crowds like the crowd expected on Fevriye 7.

 

“Nef gen yon anpil nan talan sou Jou lannwit sa a nan batay, menm jan yo toujou fè,” di Lachance. “Mwen atann mwen pa gen anyen mwens pase yon jou lannwit enteresan pou fanatik yo. The support from our fans means everything, ak avyon de gè parèy mwen epi mwen vini pare yo voye jete desann epi voye tout moun lakay ou ak menm plis antisipasyon pou evènman an pwochen. God has blessed us with another opportunity to do what we love to do in front of so many.”

 

Billy “Bigfout” Leahy (1-1) pral wè tou aksyon nan “Nef XVI” lè li etap nan kalòj la fè fas a debu endepandan avyon de gèBrandon Lessard (0-0) nan yon bout pwa loud. Leahy got the first win of his MMA career this past September at “Nef XIV” before some 2,000-plus fans at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Kòm sa yo, se li ki abitye avèk santi a ki soti nan fè pou yon masiv, devoran foul moun batay.

 

“Mwen tann yon jou lannwit gwo nan batay,” fi Leahy. “Mwen onore yo dwe sou tankou yon gwo kat. The NEF fans are like no other, epi mwen pa ka tann yo mete yo sou yon montre gwo nan devan nan fanmi m ', zanmi ak fanatik yo.”
