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) ni June 2015.

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.

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. Lori 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 Ija Kaadi

Lewiston, Maine (March 10, 2016) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-tókàn iṣẹlẹ, “NEF 22: GBOGBO ona ja nibi” lori Saturday, April 23, 2016 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Sẹyìn loni, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” ija kaadi. Nick Gulliver (2-0) yoo pade 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) ni akọkọ yika. 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. Nítorí, 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) ni “21 NEF” osu to koja.

 

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.

“Mo ti pato le fi a Pupo diẹ akoko sinu mi onija bi daradara bi ebi mi,” Said Ray. “Awọn awọn onija, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me.

“The tobi ohun ti mo fẹ nipa wa idaraya, Mo gbadun lọ ati jije a apa ti, jẹ nibẹ ni a onirele ẹgbẹ ti omo ile ati oluko,” 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.

 

Awọn “Akọkọ Kíláásì” 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 mina ni rere ti a respectful, didara, ọjọgbọn, likeable olukuluku, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Mo gbiyanju lati toju gbogbo ènìyàn se,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ni-idaraya), leteto, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ti o ba ti won ba ko anesitetiki respectful si awọn oluko tabi awọn miiran omo ile, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave.

Pẹlu siwaju ati siwaju sii titun omo ile bọ nipasẹ rẹ idaraya enu, 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.

“Ni ipo ti, Mo ti pataki ranti Bickford nwa ni mi, Mo wa dojuko soke, o n lọ fun mi li ọrùn ati ki o Mo n Map,” Said Boyington. “Pipe gbogbo bere ramúramù gidi rara ati ki o Mo ranti wipe Bickford, 'Ko Bruce, o ko ba le so pe '… Ti o ba ro wipe mo ti n fohunsile tabi Mo wa ni wahala tabi ko le simi, you don’t tell the fighter, “O ko le so pe,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mo ti ri kan pupo ti o yatọ si ohun tí John ti wi online, ati opolopo awon ohun miiran awon eniyan ti wi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Šaaju si Boyington fun soke re pada, many felt he had been winning that first round. Nitootọ, 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.

 

“Sàì, Mo ro pe yoo John ti sọ a ti lu jade,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Emi ko ro pe mo ti wa maa yonda fun u, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Mo ro pe ti o ba ti Ref ko da ni akoko, nigbati mo wà lori rẹ bakan pẹlu mi forearm ati ki o Mo ti a ti nínàgà sile ọrùn rẹ,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Nítorí, Emi ko ro pe o yoo ti sọ lọ si a keji yika.”

 

Ni awọn ọjọ, ọsẹ ati awọn osu wọnyí ni ija, 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,” mejeeji elere bà lori ohun ti rematch tumo si wọn, ati ohun ti wọn nilo lati fi mule yi bọ ìparí.

 

“Mo ti o kan ko le lọ ni nibẹ ati ki o lu John,” Said Boyington. “Ani rẹ ti ara egeb ti wa ni reti wipe… Emi ko le o kan lọ ni nibẹ lori June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Mo mo yen, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, nitori awọn miiran apa ti wa ni ko paapaa ṣiṣẹ ọtun bayi… 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.

 

“Ni iyi si Bruce finishing mi ni kiakia, ati ṣiṣe awọn ti o rorun, ati ki o ko gan idaamu nipa ija ju Elo, Mo ti o kan ri o alaibọwọ bi a pupo ti ohun ti o ti n sọ fún mi, ebi mi ati awọn ọrẹ mi,” replied Raio. “Ko si wà ni igba lẹhin ti awọn ti o kẹhin ija nigba ti awon eniyan ti won congratulating mi (lori 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.

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Ọjọgbọn Lightweight asiwaju Bruce “Lẹwa Ọmọkùnrin” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Akọkọ Kíláásì” 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, sibẹsibẹ, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 in Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, ati 2014 “Onija ti Odun,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Awọn Junkyard AjA” Ryan Cowette (2-2) ni a middleweight ija. 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 “Awọn 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; ati Elias “Ewu Asin” 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) atiRyan 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) onigun mẹrin si pa lodi si 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) ti nkọju si Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 ni “NEF XVII” last month with her “Ija ti awọn Night” 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 England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-eighteenth adalu-ologun-ona (MMA) ìṣẹlẹ, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” lori Saturday, June 13, 2015 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisee ni Lewiston, Maine. Sẹyìn loni, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Lẹwa Ọmọkùnrin” Boyington (10-8) yoo pade John “Akọkọ Kíláásì” 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 ni “NEF XII” in 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 in 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, ni pato, 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 gidi 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.”
