Joan “Primera Classe” Rayo (2-8) es reunirà Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera (0-5) at a catchweight of 150-pounds.

For John Raio, the bout will mark his return to the cage after more than two years. Raio retired following his rematch with Bruce Boyington (13-11) al juny 2015. He has decided to make one more run at competing. Competition has been in Raio’s blood since his youth. He won a Maine state championship wrestling for Gardiner Area High School in 1995, and he went on to wrestle for Plymouth State University and the University of Southern Maine. While working for the United States Postal Service, Raio began competing in MMA in 2012. Since his retirement, Raio has concentrated on training fighters at his gym First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. He has led several to championship gold in the NEF cage while working full-time at his current position with Bath Iron Works (BIW).

“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Said Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 vegades en tres anys. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. En November 3rd, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.

“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” dit Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 TARGETA DE LLUITA

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Març 10, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” a Dissabte, Abril 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cartellera. Nick Gulliver (2-0) es reunirà David Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – 1 brasiler Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) en la primera ronda. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (QUI) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, David Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Així, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) a “NEF 21” mes passat.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

JOHN Raió prosperant en JUBILACIÓ AMB UN EQUIP DE PRIMERA CLASSE

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Setembre 3, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà la seva dinovena mixtes d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment, “NEF XIX,” en dissabte, Setembre 12, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Vetllat (0-0) i Nick Shea (1-0) Del Braunschweig, Maine-based gym. Recentment, Fundador de la primera classe de MMA i l'entrenador en cap Joan “Primera Classe” Rayo sumat NEF copropietari i matrimonier Matt Peterson com a convidat a la NEF Podcast.

 

Aquest passat mes de juny, 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, incloent la preparació Sparrell, Vetllat i Shea per als seus propers combats.

 

“Definitivament puc posar molt més temps a les meves lluitadors, així com la meva família,” Said Ray. “Els avions de combat, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, quan vostè està entrenant per a una baralla, no importa quant tracti de concentrar-se en Nick Shea o Nick Gully o Hannah Sparrell o Rafael o qualsevol dels nostres combatents, realment no es pot posar 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, la família i els fills.”

 

Des del naixement de NEF a principis de 2012, i la posterior explosió de la popularitat de l'esport en l'estat, molts dels nous gimnasos han sorgit en els últims anys, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, més que qualsevol altra cosa, la molt unida, familiar com l'atmosfera que s'ha desenvolupat a les instal·lacions des que va obrir el gimnàs.

 

“La cosa més gran que m'agrada del nostre gimnàs, M'agrada anar i ser una part de, és que hi ha un grup molt humil dels estudiants i instructors,” 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.”

 

La “Primera Classe” 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 va guanyar la reputació d'una respectuosa, amb classe, professional, individu simpàtic, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Intento tractar a tots per igual,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (al gimnàs), successivament, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, si no estan actuant respectuós amb els instructors o els altres estudiants, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… El nostre gimnàs atreu, per alguna raó, persones que són gent agradable.”

 

Amb més i més nous estudiants que entra per la porta del seu gimnàs, 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.

 

“Després que l'últim show (NEF XVIII), quan vaig veure a Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) tenir el seu braç aixecat i Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Jo estava tan feliç per als nois,” 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), Jo vaig dir 'si anem 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.”

Boyington VA CAP A CARA AMB Raio DIES ABANS DE LLUITA: “Vaig a anar-hi i destruir-”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Juny 10, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu divuitè mixtes d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment, “NEF XVIII: FET A AMERICA,” aquest dissabte nit, Juny 13, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. Recentment, caps de cartell Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), el campió lleuger Professional NEF MMA, i Joan “Primera Classe” Rayo(2-7) sumat NEF copropietari i matrimonier Matt Peterson en un especial “Cap a peus” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, entre d'altres temes.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “onada mà.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ha sostingut que simplement estava assenyalant als seus fans a la multitud que el celler no estava fent cap mal.

 

“Els puc dir com va acabar aquella nit,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Fonamentalment, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, i com jo vaig agafar el meu bíceps esquerre i la mà esquerra anava darrere del cap, l'àrbitre va detenir la baralla… Em va sorprendre que havia aprofitat perquè, honestament, Jo sabia que tenia un munt de pressió sobre la mandíbula… Si, de fet, ell agitava, que merda per a ell.”

 

“En aquesta situació, Recordo específicament Bickford mirant-me, Estic cap per amunt, que va del coll i m'estic agitant,” Said Boyington. “Tothom comença a rugir tot volum i record Bickford dient, 'No Bruce, no es pot dir que '… Si vostè pensa que estic presentant o que estic en problemes o no puc respirar, you don’t tell the fighter, “No es pot dir que,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Veig un munt de coses diferents que John ha dit en línia, i un munt de coses que altres persones han dit, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Abans de Boyington renunciar a la seva esquena, many felt he had been winning that first round. En efecte, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Inevitablement, Crec que John hagués estat noquejat,” stated Boyington emphatically. “No crec que el presentaré, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Crec que si l'àrbitre no es va aturar en el temps, quan jo era a la mandíbula amb el meu avantbraç i jo estava arribant darrere del seu coll,” Ray va especular, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Així, No crec que hagués anat a una segona volta.”

 

En els dies, setmanes i mesos següents a la lluita, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” tots dos atletes es van tocar en el que significa la revenja a ells, i el que necessiten per provar aquest cap de setmana.

 

“No puc anar-hi i vèncer John,” Said Boyington. “Fins i tot els seus propis aficionats s'espera que… No puc entrar aquí en Juny 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. El es, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, perquè l'altre braç ni tan sols treballant en aquest moment… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Pel que fa a Bruce em acabar ràpidament, i el que és fàcil, i realment no preocupar-se per la lluita massa, Acabo de trobar una falta de respecte com un munt de coses que ha dit a mi, la família i els amics,” replied Raio. “Hi va haver moments després de l'última baralla quan la gent em felicitaven (En Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Així, després que et vaig dir 'Bruce i jo no som molt amics més,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… però quan la gent em falta de respecte com ho ha fet, és difícil d'agradar el tipus.”

UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

Bruce Boyington protests to referee Jimmy Bickford after his first fight with John Raio is stopped

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 21, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu divuitè mixtes d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” a Dissabte, Juny 13, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. El dia d'avui, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) es reunirà Joan “Primera Classe” Rayo (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 a “NEF XII” a Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

 

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

 

“Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Juny 13 a Lewiston!”

 

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, de fet, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

 

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get real in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “XVII NEF.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.

 

“I know this is a fight that I want, Bruce wants, and a lot of MMA fans have asked for,” stated Raio when reached for comment. “I look forward to fighting Bruce. Hopefully when the fight is over, there will be no controversy.”
