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, Dave 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. Beraz, 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, joan izana 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process.

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.

“Behin betiko dut asko jarri ahal izango du denbora gehiago nire borrokalari sartu baita nire familia gisa,” Said Ray. “Borrokalari, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, Borroka bat duzunean entrenatzen ari, ez du axola zenbat Nick Shea edo Nick Gully edo Hannah Sparrell edo Rafael edo gure borrokalari edozein ardatz saiatzen zara, Ezin duzu benetan jarri 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, zure familia eta zure seme-alabek.”

 

NEF jaiotzaren hasieran geroztik 2012, eta ondorengo kirola, bere ospea eztandak estatuan, gimnasioak berri asko sortu dituzte azken urteotan, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, beste ezer baino gehiago, estu-knit, duela instalazioak garatu gimnasioa ireki zuen geroztik familia-giro atsegin.

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.

 

The “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 errespetuzko ospea du irabazi, classy, profesionalak, likeable banakako, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Denek berdin tratatzea saiatzen naiz,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (gimnasioa), Txanda, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ari ez bada begirale edo beste ikasle errespetuzkoa jarduneko, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Gure gimnasi erakartzen, arrazoi batzuk, besterik ez dira politak herriz herri.”

 

Gero eta gehiago, ikasle berriak bere gimnasioa atea bidez datozen, 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.

 

“Azken ikuskizuna ondoren (NEF XVIII), denean Nick ikusi nuen (Gulliver, 1-0) dute bere besoa altxatu eta Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Beraz, guys pozik nengoen,” 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), Esan nion, 'joan badugu 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 GOES buru-to-burua RAIO egun BORROKA AURRETIK: “Botako nago hor ETA suntsitu zion”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England Borrokak (NEF), Amerikako zenbaki-ko erregional borrokan sustapena, bere misto borroka-arteen XVIII ospatuko da (MMA) Ekitaldia, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” Larunbat honetan Gau, June 13, 2015 Androscoggin Bank Colisee Lewiston at, Maine. Berriki, izenburukoek Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Lanbide Lightweight txapelduna, eta John “First Class” Ray(2-7) fitxatu NEF jabekide eta matchmaker Matt Peterson berezi bat “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, besteak beste.

 

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 “olatua.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington sostengatu du bere zale zuela seinalatzeko zen besterik Epaileak ere ez zela inolako kalte egiten.

 

“Gau horretan nola amaitu dizut,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Funtsean, 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, eta ezkerreko nire bicep harrapatu nuen, eta baita nire ezkerreko zen bere burua atzean joan, Nahiko borrokan gelditu… Harritu nintzen zuela delako tapped, zintzotasunez, Banekien presio handia izan duela bere cefalópodo dut… Hain zuzen ere, astintzen zen bada, harentzat sucks.”

 

“Egoera horretan, Zehazki gogoratzen dut Bickford niri begira, Naiz gora begira, Nire lepoa zuen joan eta agurtzen naiz,” Said Boyington. “Denek hasten benetako ozen roaring eta gogoan dut Bickford esanez, 'No Bruce, Ezin duzu esan '… Hori aurkezteko edo naizela uste baduzu arazorik egon naiz, edo ezin arnasa, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ezin da esan duten,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Gauza asko duten John online esan du ikusten dut, eta gauza asko beste pertsona esan dute, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Aurretik Boyington bizkarrean behera uzten, many felt he had been winning that first round. Izan ere, 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.

 

“Ezinbestean, Uste dut John Zuk postuan litzateke,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ez dut uste botako dut aurkeztu zion, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Nahiko ez bazen garai hartan gelditu dela uste dut, denean bere nire forearm batera jaw nengoen eta lepoa atzean iritsi zen I,” Ray espekulatu, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Beraz, Ez dut uste desagertu dut litzateke bigarren txanda bat.”

 

Egunetan, aste eta hilabeteetan borroka jarraian, 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,” bai kirolari zer errebantxa esan nahi du ukitu, eta asteburu honetan frogatu behar dutena egiteko.

 

“Ezin dut han joan eta beat John,” Said Boyington. “Nahiz eta bere zale egin direla espero… Ezin dut besterik joan ez dago, Ekainaren 13anand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ezagutzen dut, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, Beste besoa ez da, nahiz eta oraintxe bertan lanean delako… 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.

 

“Bruce dagokionez me azkar akabera, eta erraza egiteko, eta ez benetan borrokari buruz kezkagarria gehiegi, Aurkitu besterik ez dut disrespectful zuen esan zidan gauza asko bezala, nire familia eta nire lagunak,” replied Raio. “Baziren aldiz jendea ziren me zoriondu azken borroka ondoren (Facebook-en) 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. Beraz, Horren ondotik, esan nuen, "Bruce eta biok ez garela benetan jada lagunak,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Baina jendeak disrespect me bezalakoa egiten duela zaila da zentzuduna gustatzen.”

Lehenago, gaur egun, sustatzeko borroka txartela osoa iragarri gertaera.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Profesionalen Lightweight txapelduna Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “First Class” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, ordea, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Kontuan hartu gabe, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, eta 2014 “Urteko Fighter,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) middleweight bout batean. Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

 

In other professional bouts: Jesse “Viking du” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “NEF XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; eta Elias “Danger Mouse” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Gun” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.

 

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) etaRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

 

In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) plazak aurka off Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

 

A women’s fight will also be featured on the amateur card withAlex Walker (0-1) begira Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 at “NEF XVII” last month with her “Gauaren Fight” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

Erronka bat gustatzen zait, erronkarik handiena, eta denbora iritsiko da, baina oraingoz, jendeari azken aldian gertatuko zena erakustea da eta oraindik hiru mailatan nagoela erakutsi dezaket hari ekiteko asmoz. Kaiola horretan ezbeharrekin amaitu naiz. Aukera guztiak aprobetxatzen ari naiz eta ez diot zerbait berriro irrist egiten utziko. Markatu nire hitzak, iritsi da benetako nire borrokan. "
