VETERAN FIGHTERS RETURN TO THE NEF CAGE ON NOVEMBER 3RD IN PORTLAND

Hapụ ikwu

Ozugbo tọhapụ: Portland, Maine (August 25, 2017) -New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onFriday, November 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. John “Mbụ na klas” Ray (2-8) ga- 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) na June 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,” Kwurula Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 ugboro n'ime afọ atọ. 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. On 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,” kwuru 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 Ọgụ kadị

Lewiston, Maine (March 10, 2016) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya na-esote omume, “NEF 22: Okpukpe niile HERE” na Saturday, April 23, 2016 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée na Lewiston, Maine. The agha kaadị ga-Njirimara a mix nke mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) na ọkachamara ọkpọ oké mmanya. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” agha kaadị. Nick Gulliver (2-0) ga- Dave 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 – a Brazil Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) ke akpa gburugburu. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23 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 23, 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. Ya mere, for three rounds on April 23, 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) na “NEF 21” ikpeazụ nke ọnwa.

 

“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.”

“M maa nwere ike tinye a otutu ihe oge m alụso nakwa dị ka ezinụlọ m,” Kwurula Ray. “The alụso, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, mgbe ị na-ọzụzụ maka a ọgụ, n'agbanyeghị otú ị na-agbalị-elekwasị anya na Nick Shea ma ọ bụ Nick gully ma ọ bụ Hannah Sparrell ma ọ bụ Rafael ma ọ bụ ihe ọ bụla nke anyị alụso, ị nwere ike ghara n'ezie etinye 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight.

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 “Mbụ na klas” 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 akwụ aha nke a nkwanye ùgwù, classy, ọkachamara, likeable onye, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“M na-agbalị na-emeso mmadụ nile dokwara,” Kwurula Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (na-amụ), n'oge ya, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ma ọ bụrụ na ha na-agaghị na-eme nkwanye ùgwù na andikpep ma ọ bụ ụmụ akwụkwọ ndị ọzọ, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Anyị mgbatị adọta, n'ihi ihe ụfọdụ, ndị na-dị nnọọ mma ndị mmadụ.”

 

Na ihe na ndị ọzọ ọhụrụ ụmụ akwụkwọ na-abịa site na ya mgbatị n'ọnụ ụzọ, 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.

 

“Mgbe ikpeazụ show (NEF XVIII), mgbe m hụrụ Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) nwere ogwe aka ya zụlitere Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Dị m nnọọ ụtọ maka ndị ụmụ okorobịa,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win.

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 “aka-efegharị efegharị.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington alụso na ọ bụ nanị egosi ya Fans na ìgwè mmadụ na jide e na-eme ihe ọ bụla mebiri.

 

“M nwere ike ịgwa gị otú ahụ n'abalị ahụ biri,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ọwọrọ, 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, na dị ka m jidere m ekpe bicep na m aka ekpe na-aga n'azụ ya isi, na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu kwụsịrị ndị agha… O juru m anya na o tapped n'ihi, n'eziokwu, Ama m na m nwere ọtụtụ nsogbu na ya n'agba… Ọ bụrụ na eziokwu ọ na-à, na eme nzuzu maka ya.”

 

“Na ọnọdụ, M kpọmkwem na-echeta Bickford na-achọ na m, M ihu, ọ na-aga n'ihi na m n'olu na m na-atụ,” kwuru Boyington. “Onye ọ bụla amalite ebigbọ n'ezie oké olu na-m na-echeta Bickford si, 'Ọ dịghị Bruce, i nwere ike na-ekwu na '… Ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na m na-enyefe ma ọ bụ na m na nsogbu ma ọ bụ enweghị ike na-eku ume, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ị nwere ike na-ekwu na,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… M na-ahụ a otutu dị iche iche ihe na Jọn kwuru online, na ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ kwuru, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Tupu Boyington inye ya azụ, many felt he had been winning that first round. N'ezie, 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.

 

“-Apụghị izere ezere, M na-eche John ga na a na-kụrụ aka,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Echeghị m na m agbarapụ n'okpuru ya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“M na-eche na ọ bụrụ na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu akwụsịghị n'oge, mgbe m bụ ya bụ na agha na m aka m na-eru n'azụ ya n'olu,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Ya mere, Echeghị m na ọ ga-na-na na ine a abụọ gbaa gburugburu.”

 

Na ụbọchị, izu na ọnwa na-esonụ agha, 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,” ma na-eme egwuregwu otụk na ihe rematch pụtara ha, na ihe ha mkpa iji gosi na a na-abịa izu ụka.

 

“M nnọọ ike na-aga n'ebe ahụ ma na-eti John,” kwuru Boyington. “Ọbụna ya onwe ya Fans na-atụ anya na… Apụghị m nnọọ na-aga n'ebe ahụ na June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Amaara m nke ahụ, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, n'ihi na ndị ọzọ ogwe-aka-adịghị ọbụna na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a… 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.”

 

“N'ihe banyere Bruce gụchara m ngwa ngwa, na-eme ka ọ dị mfe, na n'ezie echegbu onwe anyị banyere ndị agha ukwuu, M nnọọ na-achọta ya enweghị nkwanye ùgwù dị ka a ọtụtụ ihe ọ na-sị m, ezinụlọ m na ndị enyi m,” replied Raio. “E nwere oge mgbe ikpeazụ agha mgbe ndị mmadụ na-congratulating m (na 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. Ya mere, mgbe m kwuru 'Bruce na m bụ n'ezie enyi ọzọ,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Ma mgbe ndị mmadụ akparị m dị ka o nwere ọ bụ ike ka Ihọd.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF Emmanuel Professional Kedu otu m ga Champion Bruce “Mara Nwa” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Mbụ na klas” 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, Otú ọ dị, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. N'agbanyeghị, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 na Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, na 2014 “Agha nke Year,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “The ere Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) na a middleweight n'obi. 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 “The Viking” 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; na Elias “Danger Adila” 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) naRyan 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) n'ámá anya megide 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) ihu Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 na “NEF XVII” last month with her “Ọgụ nke Night” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

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

Lewiston, Maine (April 21, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na asatọ mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Saturday, June 13, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisee na Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Mara Nwa” Boyington (10-8) ga- John “Mbụ na klas” Ray (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 na “NEF XII” na 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, June 13 na 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, n'ezie, 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 n'ezie 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 “NEF XVII.” 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.”
