The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) lan pertarungan tinju profesional.

Nick Gulliver (2-0) bakal ketemu 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 Brasil Jiu-Jitsu (Judo) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) ing babak pisanan. 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. Dadi, 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, wis lunga 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) ing “NEF 21” pungkasan sasi.

 

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.

When you’re fighting, nalika sampeyan lagi latihan kanggo perang, ora ketompo carane akeh sing nyoba kanggo fokus ing Nick Shea utawa Nick Gully utawa Hannah Sparrell utawa Rafael utawa kong kita, sampeyan ora bisa nemen sijine 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, kulawarga lan dicekel bocah.”

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.

 

Ing “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 entuk reputasi saka kae, gaya, profesional, individu likeable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Aku nyoba kanggo nambani everybody merata,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ing gedung olahraga), ing siji, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, yen lagi ora tumindak kae kanggo instruktur utawa siswa liyane, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Gym kita nengsemake, sakperangan alesan, wong sing wong mung becik.”

As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Aku ngandika 'yen kita menyang 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 dadi HEAD-TO-HEAD WITH RAIO HARI sadurunge perang: “Aku badhe teka ing kono lan numpes wong”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Juni 10, 2015) - Kämpfe New England (Wiro sableng), Amérika kang nomer siji promosi perang regional, bakal terus mixed-tukang pencak seni wolulas sawijining (MMA) acara, “NEF XVIII: Digawe IN AMERIKA,” Setu iki wengi, Juni 13, 2015 ing Westprovinz Bank Colisee ing Lewiston, Maine. Bubar, headliners Bruce “Cantik Boy” Boyington (10-8), ing NEF MMA Profesional Lightweight Juara, lan John “First Class” Ray(2-7) gabungan NEF co-pemilik lan matchmaker Matt Peterson ing khusus “Sirah-kanggo-Lowongan” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, antarane topik liya.

 

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 “gelombang tangan.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington wis contended piyambakipun namung menehi tandha kanggo pembuangan ing akeh sing ditahan iki ora mengkono karusakan apa wae.

 

“Aku pitutur marang kowe carane wengi sing rampung,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Sejatine, 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, lan aku nyekel bicep kiwa lan tangan kiwa iki arep konco sirahe, ref mandegake perang… Aku iki kaget sing wus tapped amarga, sajujure, Aku sumurup aku wis kathah meksa ing rahang… Yen ing kasunyatan piyambakipun waving, sing nyedot kanggo wong.”

 

“Ing kahanan sing, Aku khusus elinga Bickford looking ing kula, Aku ngadhepi munggah, kang arep kanggo sandi gulu lan aku waving,” Said Boyington. “Everybody wiwit nggero nyata banter lan Aku elinga Bickford matur, 'Ora Bruce, sampeyan ora bisa ngomong sing '… Yen sampeyan mikir sing aku ngajokake utawa aku ing alangan utawa ora bisa ambegan, you don’t tell the fighter, “Sampeyan ora bisa ngomong sing,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Aku weruh akèh iku beda sing Yohanes wis ngandika online, lan akèh iku wong liya wis ngandika, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Sadurunge Boyington menehi munggah maneh, many felt he had been winning that first round. Pancen, 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.

 

“Pesti, Aku Yohanes bakal wis kalah metu,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Aku ora mikir aku badhe ngirim wong, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Aku yen ref durung mungkasi ing wektu, nalika aku ana ing rahang karo lengen lan aku iki sik njongko konco gulu,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Dadi, Aku ora mikir kang bakal wis musna kanggo babak kapindho.”

 

Ing dina, minggu lan sasi ingkang perang, 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,” loro atlit kena apa tegese rematch kanggo wong-wong mau, lan apa kang kudu mbuktekaken akhir minggu teka.

 

“Aku mung ora bisa teka ing kono lan ngalahake John,” Said Boyington. “Malah pembuangan dhewe sing dikarepake sing… Aku bisa ora mung ana ing 13 Juniand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Aku ngerti sing, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, amarga lengen liyane ora malah apa sapunika… 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.
