Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Portland, Maine (Ágúst 25, 2017) -New England Berst (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onFöstudagur, Nóvember 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” Fyrr í dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. John “First Class” Ray (2-8) mun mæta 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) í júní 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 sinnum á þremur árum. 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. Á 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,” Said 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 Fight CARD

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 10, 2016) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda næstu atburði þess, “NEF 22: Allir vegir liggja HÉR” á Laugardagur, Apríl 23, 2016 á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Fyrr í dag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” Baráttan kort. Nick Gulliver (2-0) mun mæta 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 Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) í fyrstu umferð. 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 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, 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. Svo, 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) á “NEF 21” í síðasta mánuði.

 

“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.”

 

New England Berst 'Næsta atburður, "NEF 22: Allir vegir liggja HÉR," fer fram Laugardagur, Apríl 23, 2016 á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í Lewiston, Maine.

JOHN RAIO blómleg í starfslokasamninga við fyrsta flokks TEAM

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína nítjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XIX,” á laugardag, September 12, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) og Nick Shea (1-0) frá Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Nýlega, First Class MMA stofnandi og yfirþjálfari John “First Class” Ray gekk NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker Matt Peterson sem gestur á NEF Podcast.

 

Í júní síðastliðnum, 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, þ.mt undirbúa Sparrell, Velado og Shea fyrir komandi viðureign sinni.

 

“Ég örugglega setja mikið meiri tíma í bardagamenn mínum og fjölskyldu minni,” Said Ray. “Bardagamenn, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, þegar þú ert að þjálfa fyrir bardaga, sama hversu mikið þú reynir að einblína á Nick Shea eða Nick Gully eða Hannah Sparrell eða Rafael eða einhverju bardagamenn okkar, þú getur í raun ekki sett 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, fjölskylda þín og börnin þín.”

 

Frá fæðingu NEF í byrjun 2012, og síðari sprenging vinsældir íþróttarinnar í því ríki, Mörg ný gyms hafa sprottið upp á undanförnum árum, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, meira en nokkuð annað, sem þétt-prjóna, fjölskyldu-eins andrúmsloft sem hefur þróað á leikni síðan hann opnaði í ræktina.

 

“The allstór hlutur ÉG eins og óður ræktina okkar, Mér finnst gaman að fara og vera hluti af, er að það er mjög auðmjúkur hópur nemenda og kennara,” 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.”

 

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 unnið orðspor virðingu, flottur, faglega, viðkunnanlegur einstaklingur, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Ég reyni að meðhöndla alla jafnt,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (í ræktinni), aftur á móti, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ef þeir eru ekki að vinna virðingu kennara eða öðrum nemendum, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Ræktina okkar laðar, fyrir sumir ástæða, fólk sem er bara gott fólk.”

 

Með fleiri og fleiri nýir nemendur koma í gegnum dyrnar ræktina hans, 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.

 

“Eftir síðasta sýning (NEF XVIII), þegar ég sá Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) hafa armur hans vakti og Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ég var svo ánægð fyrir þá félaga,” 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), Ég sagði "ef við förum 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.”

Nýlega, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Léttur meistari, og John “First Class” Ray(2-7) byrjuðu NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker Matt Peterson á sérstakt “Höfuð-til-höfuð” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, meðal annars efni.

 

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 “hönd bylgja.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington hefur því fram að hann var eingöngu merkja við aðdáendur sína í hópnum að halda var ekki að gera skaða.

 

“Ég get sagt þér hvernig þetta kvöld endaði,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Í grundvallaratriðum, 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, og eins og ég greip vinstri Bicep mína og vinstri hönd mín var að fara á bak við höfuð hans, dómarinn stöðvaði baráttunni… Ég var mjög undrandi að hann hafði tapped því, heiðarlega, Ég vissi að ég hafði mikið af þrýstingi á kjálka hans… Ef í raun er hann var að veifa, að sjúga hann.”

 

“Í því ástandi, Ég man sérstaklega Bickford horfa á mig, Ég er að horfast í augu, hann er að fara til háls minn og ég er að veifa,” Said Boyington. “Allir byrjar öskrandi alvöru hávær og ég man Bickford segja, "Nei Bruce, þú getur ekki sagt að "… Ef þú heldur að ég senda eða ég er í vandræðum eða getur ekki andað, you don’t tell the fighter, “Þú getur ekki sagt að,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ég sé mikið af mismunandi hlutum sem John hefur sagt á netinu, og margt annað fólk hefur sagt, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Áður Boyington gefa upp bakið, many felt he had been winning that first round. Reyndar, 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.

 

“Óhjákvæmilega, Ég held John hefði verið slegnir út,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ég held ekki að ég ætla að leggja hann, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Ég held að ef dómarinn ekki hætta á þeim tíma, þegar ég var á kjálka hans með framhandlegg minn og ég var að ná á bak hálsinn,” Ray geta sér, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Svo, Ég held ekki að það myndi hef farið til aðra umferð.”

 

Á dögum, vikur og mánuði eftir að berjast, 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,” bæði íþróttamenn snert á hvað vera enn þýðir að þeim, og hvað þeir þurfa að sanna þetta Helgina.

 

“Ég get bara ekki fara í það og slá Jóhannes,” Said Boyington. “Jafnvel hans eigin aðdáendur eiga von á að… Ég get ekki bara farið í það á 13 júníand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ég veit að, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, vegna þess að annar armurinn er ekki einu sinni að vinna núna… 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.”

 

“Í tengslum við Bruce klára mig fljótt, og gerir það auðvelt, og í raun ekki að hafa áhyggjur af baráttunni of mikið, Mér finnst bara að það disrespectful eins mikið af hlutum sem hann sagði við mig, fjölskyldan mín og vinir mínir,” replied Raio. “Það voru tímar þegar síðustu baráttu þegar fólk var congratulating mig (á 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. Svo, eftir að ég sagði "Bruce og ég erum í raun ekki vinir lengur,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… en þegar fólk vanvirðing mig eins og hann hefur það er erfitt að eins og strákur.”

Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014.

Burtséð, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Júní 13 í Lewiston.

“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) ogRyan Glover (1-0).

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 (Apríl 21, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) mun mæta John “First Class” 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 á “NEF XII” í 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,” rifjaði upp meðeiganda NEF og hvatningarmanninn 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, Júní 13 í 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, í raun, 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 “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.”
