HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 FIGHT KĀRI

Waiho he tākupu

The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. I mua i teie mahana, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” kāri whawhai. Nick Gulliver (2-0) ka tutaki 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 – he Palāsilá Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) i roto i te taka noa tuatahi. 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. Na, 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) i “NEF 21” whakamutunga marama.

 

“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 RAIO momoho i I Tuhinga WITH te CLASS TEAM TUATAHI

Waiho he tākupu

Lewiston, Maine (Mahuru 3, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma iwa whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XIX,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Mahuru 12, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hana Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) a Nick O'Shea (1-0) i te Brunswick,, Maine-based gym. Aita i maoro a'e, Tuatahi Class MMA kaiwhakaū me te kaiako matenga John “Class Tuatahi” Ray piri NEF ngā-rangatira, me te matchmaker Matt Peterson rite te āheinga i runga i te NEF Podcast.

 

Tenei Pipiri mua, 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, tae atu ki te whakarite Sparrell, Velado ko O'Shea mo ratou pāngia ka ū mai.

 

“Ahau tino taea e hoatu i te rota wā atu ki toku whawhai me te toku utuafare,” Said Ray. “Ko nga whawhai, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, ka e koutou te whakangungu mo te whawhai, noa'tu te nui tamata koe ki te arotahi ki runga i Nick O'Shea ranei Nick Gully ranei Hana Sparrell ranei Rafael ranei tetahi o tatou whawhai, e kore e taea te hoatu tino e koe 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, to outou utuafare, a koutou tamariki.”

 

Mai te whanautanga o NEF roto i te tīmatanga 2012, me te pahūtanga muri o te rongonui te hākinakina o roto i te kāwanatanga, Kua tupu ake maha kori hou i roto i nga tau tata nei, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, hau atu i tetahi atu, te raru-noho kotahi, huru utuafare-rite i whakawhanakehia e i te wāhi mai i uakina ana e ia te omaoma.

 

“Ko te mea nui e ahau rite e pā ana ki to tatou omaoma, He pārekareka ki ahau e haere, me te hoko ko ha konga o, Ko reira te he rōpū tino haehaa o ngā ākonga, me te hunga e tohutohu,” 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.”

 

Te “Class Tuatahi” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Roaa Raio te ingoa o te whakaute, classy, ngaio, takitahi manakoa ai, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Tamata e ahau ki te hamani katoa rite,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (i te omaoma), roto i te tahuri, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ki te kore ratou e mahi whakaute ki te hunga e tohutohu ana i te tahi atu ngā ākonga ranei, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Tatou omaoma tohoakii, mo etahi take, te iwi nei e te iwi pai noa.”

 

Ki te nui noa atu te ākonga hou e haere mai i roto i te tatau o tona omaoma, 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.

 

“I muri i te whakaaturanga whakamutunga (NEF XVIII), no te kitenga o ahau Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) kua whakaarahia tona ringa, me te Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ko ahau na fiefia mo te hunga takatu,” 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), Ka mea ahau 'ki te haere tatou 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.”

“Ka taea e ahau te korero ki a koutou me pehea te takanga o taua po,” I maumahara a Raio mo te tukinga tuatahi. “Fele, Na Bruce i whakahoki mai tana tuara ki ahau. I taku tangohanga i tana tuara, I a au nga matau a he koka nga tua-tahanga o taku raina kauae. I te tarai ahau ki te pehi i raro i tana korokoro, a kia rite ki mau ahau toku bicep maui, me toku ringa i mahue haere i muri i tona matenga, te tohutoro mutu te whawhai… I miharo ahau i kairïwhi ia no te, tika, I mohio ahau e ahau he rota o te pēhanga ki runga ki tona kauae… Ki te i roto i te meka i poipoia e ia, e ngotea hoki ia.”

 

“I roto i taua āhuatanga, Āta mahara ahau titiro Bickford i ahau, Au fehangahangai ahau ake, te haere ia mo toku kaki, me te au poipoia ahau,” Said Boyington. “Katoa tīmata e hamama ana tūturu nui, me te mahara ahau Bickford mea, 'Kāore he Bruce, e kore koutou e taea e te mea e '… Ki te whakaaro koe e ahau te tuku ranei e ahau au e ahau i roto i te raru ranei, e kore e taea manawa, kaore koe e korero ki te toa, “E kore e taea e koe te mea e,” ka peke noa koe ka mutu te pakanga. Kei te whakaaro ahau kua he tana. Kei te mohio ahau kei te mohio ia ki tena… Kite ahau i te rota o te mea rerekē i mea e kua Hoani online, a ka kua mea atu te iwi i te rota o te mea, a koinei te wa i tino tiimata ahau ki te awangawanga mo nga mea i tupu. I penei au ka taea e ia te whakahaere pai ake.”

 

I mua ki Boyington hoatu ake tona hoki, he maha i mahara kua wikitoria ia i te rauna tuatahi. Ko e mo'oni, Ko te aitua o Boyington te mea nui i taua ahiahi. I patai a Peterson ki nga kaiwhakataetae e rua kia whakaarohia he aha ka tupu mena kaore te kaitautoko i aukati i te pakanga i tera wa.

 

“Heipü, Whakaaro ahau e Hoani kua patototanga i,” kī Boyington tino. “E kore e whakaaro ahau au pepa ahau tuku ia ia, na te mea ko te mea pai tena ki a au. He kaha ia ki te tiaki i tetahi tono.”

 

“Whakaaro ahau, ki te kahore i mutu i te tohutoro i te wa, i ahau i runga i tona kauae ki toku kikowhiti, a pa e ahau i muri i tona kaki,” Ie Ray, “Ki taku whakapono kua paheke atu toku ringa i raro i tana korokoro ana kua mutu i etahi wa i mua o te rauna. Na, E kore e whakaaro ahau e ua te reira riro ki te rua a tawhio noa.”

 

I roto i nga ra, wiki, me marama e whai ake nei i te whawhai, e rua nga kaiwhaiwhai a Boyington me Raio i tino kaha ki te whakaputa korero i runga i te ao papaho e pa ana ki te mutunga o te whakataetae. Kua roa te taupatupatu i waenga i nga taha e rua neke atu i te kotahi tau neke atu. Me te nui o nga moni kei ia taha mo te “NEF XVIII,” pa e rua kaitäkaro i runga i te tikanga o te rematch ki a ratou, a te mea e ti'a ratou ki te whakamatau i tenei wiki e haere mai.

 

“Ahau e kore e tika e taea te haere ki roto i te reira, ka whiua a Hoani,” Said Boyington. “Ahakoa tana ake pā kei te hua noa e… E kore e taea e ahau te haere ki noa i roto i reira i runga i Pipiri 13ka whiua a John Raio. Me haere ahau ki reira ki te whakangaro i a ia. Ranei ka ngaro tonu ahau i tenei pakanga. E mohio ana ahau e, ana ka haere ahau ki reira korero ai. Ana ka mahia e au ma te ringa kotahi, e kore e te no te mea noa te mahi atu i te ringa matau i teie nei… Kaore au i te awangawanga mo tenei ra mai i te ra tuatahi. Kaore he aha ki a John Raio. Kaore au e whakahawea ki te taane. Kaore au e pai ki te taane. He tangata pai ia. Kei noa ahau i tetahi atu taumata. Me whakaatu atu au ki te whakamatau i tena. Koira tena ki ahau. Ehara i te mea mo taku patu i a John. Ko tenei mo au ki te whakaatu ki nga taangata katoa kei hea ahau.”

 

“I roto i te whakaaro ki a Bruce whakaoti ahau hohoro, a hanga ngāwari te reira, e kore a tino manukanuka te whawhai rawa nui, Tika kitea e ahau faatura i te reira, ano he rota o nga mea ngā mea ia ki a ahau, toku hapu, me oku hoa,” ka whakahoki a Raio. “He nga wa i muri i te whawhai whakamutunga, i congratulating ahau te iwi (i runga i Facebook) a ka haere tonu ia kia rite ki te korero mo te kotahi, e rua ranei nga pararangi i runga i nga korero katoa i whakatakotoria e te katoa ki taku whaarangi mo te toru ra te roa. Na, i muri i mea ahau, Bruce, a kahore e tino ahau a muri hoa,’ na ka mukua ia e ahau. He pai ki ahau i mua o tera pakanga… engari ka faatura ahau te iwi, ano he ia te reira uaua ki te rite i te taata.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Class Tuatahi” 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, Heoi, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ahakoa, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Pipiri 13 i roto i te Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, a 2014 “Fighter o te Tau,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Ko te kitenga i Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) i roto i te a'ee taumahawaenga. 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: Hehe “Ko te 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; a Iraia “Danger Kiore” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Pū” 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) aRyan 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) tapawhā atu ki 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) e anga Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 i “Nef XVII” last month with her “Whawhai o te Po” performance against Randi Knowles (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 (April 21, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) ka tutaki John “Class Tuatahi” 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 i “NEF XII” i roto i te 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, Pipiri 13 i roto i te 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, i roto i te meka, 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 mau 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.”
