I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Said Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 beses sa tatlong taon. 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.

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Lumaban CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Marso 10, 2016) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay hawak nito susunod na kaganapan, “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE” sa Sabado, Abril 23, 2016 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” labanan card. Nick Gulliver (2-0) ay nakakatugon 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 – isang Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) sa unang round. 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. Kaya, 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) sa “NEF 21” noong nakaraang buwan.

 

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 thriving sa RETIREMENT WITH A first class TEAM

Lewiston, Maine (Setyembre 3, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito siyam na mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XIX,” sa Sabado, Setyembre 12, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa 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) at Nick Shea (1-0) mula sa Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Kamakailan lamang, Unang Klase MMA founder at head coach John “Primera klase” Sinag sumali NEF co-may-ari at tagagawa ng mga posporo Matt Peterson bilang ang guest sa NEF Podcast.

 

Ito nakaraang Hunyo, 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, kasama na ang paghahanda Sparrell, Velado at Shea para sa kanilang mga paparating na bouts.

 

“Ako talaga ay maaaring maglagay ng isang pulutong ng mas maraming oras sa aking mandirigma pati na rin ang aking pamilya,” Said Ray. “Ang fighters, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, kapag ikaw ay pagsasanay para sa isang away, kahit na kung magkano subukan mong mag-focus sa Nick Shea o Nick kanal o Hannah Sparrell o Rafael o alinman sa aming mga mandirigma, hindi ka maaaring talagang ilagay 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, iyong pamilya at iyong mga anak.”

 

Dahil ang kapanganakan ng NEF sa unang bahagi ng 2012, at ang kasunod na pagsabog ng katanyagan ng isport sa estado, maraming bagong mga gym ay may sprung up sa mga nakaraang taon, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, higit sa anumang bagay, masikip na niniting, family-tulad ng kapaligiran na ay bumuo ng sa pasilidad dahil binuksan niya ang gym.

 

“Ang pinakamalaking bagay na gusto ko tungkol sa aming gym, Masiyahan ako pagpunta at pagiging isang bahagi ng, ay mayroong isang napaka-abang na grupo ng mga mag-aaral at guro,” 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.

 

Ang “Primera klase” 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 nakakuha ng reputasyon ng isang magalang, pangunahing uri, propesyonal, kaibig-ibig mga indibidwal, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Subukan ko upang matrato ang lahat ng tao ay pare-pareho,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (sa gym), naman, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, kung hindi sila ay kumikilos magalang sa mga instructor o ang iba pang mga mag-aaral, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Umaakit aming gym, para sa ilang kadahilanan, mga tao na lamang gandang tao.”

 

Sa higit pa at mas bagong mga mag-aaral na nanggagaling sa pamamagitan ng pinto ng kanyang gym ni, 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.

 

“Matapos ang huling show (NEF XVIII), kapag nakita ko Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) may kanyang braso itataas at Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ako ay kaya masaya para sa mga guys,” 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), Sinabi ko 'kung pumunta kami 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 napupunta HEAD-TO-HEAD sa Raio ARAW BAGO FIGHT: “I'M GONNA GO IN THERE AND Wasakin SIYA”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Hunyo 10, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: GINAWA SA AMERIKA,” ito Sabado gabi, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Kamakailan lamang, headliners Bruce “Kahanga-Boy” Boyington (10-8), ang NEF MMA Professional lightweight Kampeon, at John “Primera klase” Sinag(2-7) sumali NEF co-may-ari at posporo Matt Peterson sa isang espesyal na “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, bukod sa iba pang paksa.

 

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 “wave ng kamay.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ay nakipagtalo na lamang siya ay pagbibigay ng senyas sa kanyang mga tagahanga sa karamihan ng tao na ang hold ay hindi paggawa ng anumang pinsala.

 

“Maaari ko bang sabihin sa iyo kung paano natapos ang gabi,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Talaga, 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, at bilang ko grabbed aking kaliwang bicep at ang aking kaliwang kamay ay pagpunta sa likod ng kanyang ulo, tumigil ang ref ang labanan… Ako ay namangha na siya ay tapped dahil, matapat, Alam ko na ako ay isang pulutong ng presyon sa kanyang panga… Kung sa katunayan siya ay waving, na sucks para sa kanya.”

 

“Sa sitwasyon na, Ako mismo tandaan Bickford naghahanap sa akin, Ako ay mukha up, siya ay pagpunta para sa aking leeg at ako ng waving,” Sabi ni Boyington. “Lahat ng tao ay nagsisimula atungal real maingay at tandaan ako Bickford sinasabi, 'No Bruce, hindi mo maaaring sabihin na ang '… Kung sa tingin mo na ako ng pagsusumite o hindi ako sa problema o hindi makahinga, you don’t tell the fighter, “Hindi mo maaaring sabihin na,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Nakikita ko ang maraming iba't ibang mga bagay-bagay na John ay may sinabi sa online, at isang pulutong ng mga bagay-bagay sa iba pang mga tao ay may sinabi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Bago Boyington pagbibigay up ang kanyang likod, many felt he had been winning that first round. Sa katunayan, 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.

 

“Hindi maaaring hindi, Sa tingin ko ang John ay na-knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Hindi sa tingin ko ako gonna magsumite kanya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Sa tingin ko kung ang ref ay hindi hihinto sa oras, kapag ako ay sa kanyang panga sa aking mga bisig at ako ay umaabot sa likod ng kanyang ulo,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Kaya, Hindi sa tingin ko ay ito Na wala sa pangalawang round.”

 

Sa mga araw, linggo at buwan ng pagsunod sa mga fight, 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,” parehong ATLETA baliw sa kung ano ang kahulugan ng rematch sa kanila, at kung ano ang kailangan nila upang patunayan ito darating na weekend.

 

“Ko lamang ay hindi maaaring pumunta sa doon at matalo John,” Sabi ni Boyington. “Kahit na ang kanyang sariling mga tagahanga ay umaasa na… Hindi ako maaaring pumunta sa loob lamang doon sa Hunyo 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Alam ko na, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, dahil ang iba pang mga braso ay hindi pa gumagana sa ngayon… 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.

 

“Sa pagsasaalang-alang sa Bruce pagtatapos akin mabilis, at ginagawang mas madali, at hindi tunay na nababahala tungkol sa paglaban ng masyadong maraming, I hanapin lamang ito lapastangan tulad ng isang pulutong ng mga bagay na siya ay sinabi sa akin, aking pamilya at mga kaibigan ko,” replied Raio. “May mga oras matapos ang huling labanan kapag ay binabati ako ng mga tao (sa 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. Kaya, matapos na ako sinabi 'Bruce at ako ay hindi talaga anymore kaibigan,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ngunit kapag kalapastanganan sa akin ang mga tao tulad siya ay may mahirap na gusto ang guy.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional lightweight Kampeon Bruce “Kahanga-Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Primera klase” Sinag (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, gayunman, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Anuman, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Hunyo 13 sa 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) atRyan 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 (Abril 21, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Kahanga-Boy” Boyington (10-8) ay nakakatugon John “Primera klase” Sinag (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 sa “NEF XII” sa 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, Hunyo 13 sa 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, sa katunayan, 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.”
