WOMEN’S FIGHT AT NEF 29 IS A MATTER OF RESPECT

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Me 9, 2017) - “I wanna knock her out!” Those were the emphatic words of Alex Walker (3-1) when asked last weekend atNEF 28for her prediction on her upcoming fight with Sarah Ziehm (1-0). The crowd at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee erupted in response.

 

Walker and Ziehm are scheduled to face off when New England Fights (Nef) returns to the Colisee onSamdi, Jen 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “Nef 29: STARS & STRIPES.Walker, a two-fight veteran of the NEF cage and a member of Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Team Kaze, has made it her mission to teach Ziehm a lesson in respect for what Walker viewed as acockyperformance in Ziehm’s debut earlier this year.

 

I have respect for 99% of the females I do battle with, but I do not respect her,” said Walker when reached for comment. “I don’t like the way she handled herself in her first fight, I think she needs to be humbled and I will do that in Juneif she even shows up! My manager told (NEF matchmaker) Matt Peterson to have a backup because she will come up with an excuse not to get a beating.

 

Ziehm made her MMA debut last February with a win over Nicole Burgess (0-2). She submitted Burgess in the third round after a dominant performance. (Of note, Walker also submitted Burgess in the third round just a few months earlier.) Ziehm trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) nan Lewiston.

 

This will be a good battle,” predicted Ziehm. “Alex is a seasoned and skilled warrior. I’m not underestimating her at all. I’m excited to get back into cage and do some work.

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Me 5, 2017) -Nouvo England Goumen (Nef) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Samdi, Jen 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “Nef 29: STARS & STRIPES.The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (Mma) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Matt “Ken poupe” Denning (4-6) ap pran sou Dominic “Domination” Jones (1-0) at a weight of 145-pounds. Both athletes are coming off wins last weekend atNEF 28.

 

Denning entered the cage six days ago looking to break a four-fight skid. The Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) featherweight worked his ground game and submitted Josh Parker (5-9) with a Guillotine Choke in the first round. He donated a portion of his earnings for the fight to Derek Shorey’s (4-9) family members recently left homeless by a fire in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Denning has now vowed revenge for his teammate, Tollison Lewis (1-6), who fell to Jones last weekend, and he has committed to going undefeated for the remainder of the year.

 

I’m excited to continue my fighting career with New England Fights,” di Denning. “I’m coming for another win against someone who just TKO’d my teammate. He seems like a nice kid and a solid wrestler, but I’m a better striker and have far superior jiu-jitsu! I’m not losing again this year! See you guys June 17th.”

 

After a takedown early in the first round, Dom Jones was able to do exactly what his nickname saysdominateagainst Tollison Lewis last Saturday night atNEF 28.Jones used his wrestling to smother Lewis, defending submission attempts in the process, and pounding a TKO win out of Lewis in the final minute of the first round. The bout was Jonesfirst in Maine after a lengthy amateur career in his previous home state of Florida. Jones predicts that he will be the one walking away with a two-fight win streak on Jen 17.

 

I’m excited for this match up,” stated Jones. “Wrestling versus jiu-jitsu! Yon fwa ankò, our gyms clash! It’s a good fight for me. Denning has worked to get where he is now, and I respect his work he has put in. I have to fight smart and not get caught. Tankou June 17th, when that cage door closes, I’m walking out 2-0! Thank you NEF for having me again.

THE TIME FOR TALK IS OVER, NOW IT’S TIME TO FIGHT!

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 1, 2017) – New England Goumen (Nef) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “Nef 28: INVINCIBLE” nan Samdi, Avril 29, 2017 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Matt “Ken poupe” Denning (3-6) ap rankontre Josh Parker (5-8) nan yon pwa batay nan 145-liv.

The fight will mark the culmination of months of trash talking on social media between Denning and Parker’s camp. Denning, a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Auburn, Maine and a veteran of the World Series of Fighting (WSOF) cage, will be looking to rebound from a loss to Ricky Dexter (1-0) mwa pase a nan “NEF 27.

After Josh’s win over Derek Shorey, I wanted to fight him,” Denning said. “Sou papye, both of our last wins were against the same opponent (Shorey). I thought the fight made sense. We both have had a lot of fights against very tough fighters. Depi ki te goumen kont, there has been some Facebook bashing from Parker’s brother, and my response was for Josh to sign the contract. He was insulting me and trash talking, so I wanted to prove them wrong. There is no place in a fight where Parker can beat me and on April 29th, I’ll show that to the NEF fans. I’d like to thank (NEF owners) Nick (DiSalvo) and Matt (Peterson) for giving me another opportunity to fight for them. Epitou, I’d like to thank Kill Their Will and all my family at CMBJJ for their ongoing support.

Parker’s victory over Shorey last November marked his return to the MMA cage after a three-year absence. He spent the vast majority of that time competing in the boxing ring, yet it was a submission that Parker used to overcome Shorey. For Parker, the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine, the fight with Denning is not business as usual. The nature of the trash talking has turned personal, and Parker vows vengeance for what he sees as disrespect on Denning’s part.

There comes a time in every fighter’s career that the fight has nothing to do with records or money,” Di Parker. “It’s to prove a point. My name has come out of this kid’s mouth too many times. Sou April 29th, I’m gonna shut it.

SHATTERPROOF AND RUTHLESS IN MAINE TURF WAR AT NEF 26

Lewiston, Maine (Oktòb 4, 2016) – New England Goumen (Nef) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Nef 26: SUPREMACY,” nan Samdi, Novanm 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Earlier today, NEF executives announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Josh Parker (4-8) ap pran sou“Enkasabl 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7) nan yon pwa batay nan 145-liv.

 

Parker is the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine. A regular in the NEF MMA cage during the early days of the promotion, Parker has spent the last several years competing in the boxing ring. He battled Elias Leland to a draw last November in a boxing bout at “Nef XX.” Parker predicts a finish in his long-awaited return to cage competition.

 

I want to thank NEF for the opportunity and Derek for taking the fight,” Di Parker. “Mwen se eksite yo ka resevwa tounen nan kalòj la. I feel like I have a lot to prove. I will show up this time and I will finish this fightdon’t miss it!”

 

Derek Shorey, founder of the Shatterproof Combat Club at the Outlet in Dexter, Maine, is coming off a huge win in Rhode Island just over a week ago. It was the spark Shorey had been looking for after dropping his last four in a row in the NEF cage. Admittedly, Shorey is filled with both fear and excitement coming into the fight with Parker.

 

This is a fight that has scared the crap out of me in the past,” declared Shorey. “Li se yon gwo, strong 145er that has good movement and boxing. Standing and trading could end horribly for either of us. His strength may be enough to keep my slams in check and I’m not a jits expert, so he can probably power out of whatever I throw at him. It’s a puzzle I’m both excited and terrified to tackle.

Josh Parker is the founder and head coach of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine. Prior to entering the boxing ranks, Parker was a regular in the NEF MMA cage. He boxed to a draw against fellow NEF MMA alum Elias Leland (0-0-1) last November in Lewiston. Pi resamman, Parker dropped a decision to undefeated Julio Perez (4-0) on a boxing card in Rhode Island. He is hungry for his first victory as a professional boxer.

 

I want to thank NEF for another opportunity to fight,” Di Parker. “I have a lot to prove. My skills have not been reflected in my past few performances. I’ve switched up some aspects of my training and I’m confident that I will finally be able to bring the real me to the ring. I will be facing an experienced opponent who will present some tough challenges for mewhich is exactly what I wanted. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced is myself, and now that I’ve figured him out, it doesn’t matter who’s standing in front of me.

 

A veteran of more than twenty professional fights, Evincii Dixon has been one of the northeast’s most active boxers since his debut in the summer of 2013. Dixon, who calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania his home, often fights multiple times in a given month in places as far away as Texas, California and, pi resamman, Ohio. He made the 500-mile trek to Lewiston, Maine last month, picking up a win in the NEF ring against Antonio Chaves Fernandez (7-26-3).

NEW SPORT, MENM pasyon Goumen pou JOSH PARKER

Lewiston, Maine (Novanm 5, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe evènman pwochen li yo, “Nef XX: Yon istwa de VYOLANS” sou Samdi, Novanm 21, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – melanje-masyal arts- (Mma) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. In a featured lightweight professional boxing match, Josh Parker (0-1) te siyen nan figi Eli “Danje sourit” Leland (0-0) nan yon konkou kat-wonn.

 

Pandan ke bout a pral Parker nan premye match boksè ak nef, he is no stranger to longtime fans of the promotion. Parker was a regular on NEF MMA cards during the early days of the company. He put together a record of 4-8 as a professional MMA competitor over the course of five years. Parker feels that he has found his true home not in the MMA cage, men nan bag la boksè.

 

“Bòks se yon pi bon anfòm pou m 'paske mwen te toujou te renmen pati nan standeup nan mma,” te note Parker. “Lè yo te ofri mwen Brandon Berry a (9-1) goumen ak te kòmanse konsantre sou ki pou kont li, Mwen te konnen mwen te jwenn apèl vre mwen. Mwen kite travay mwen, te kòmanse bati yon ekip batay, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Mwen ta renmen al goumen chak mwa koup si sa posib.”

 

Jan yo note sa, Parker te kòmanse karyè boksè l 'nan sezon prentan an nan 2014 lè li te aksepte yon bout ak Brandon Berry nan North Anson, Maine. Parker held his own in the bout, eventually dropping a four-round decision. Fans have speculated that there would be a rematch at some point down the road between the two.

 

“Ou konnen, moun ki toujou mande ki, men mwen reyèlman pa pran swen sou kouman pou konbat Brandon ankò,” Di Parker. “Ou gade batay la epi di m 'ki jan jij yo te vini ak nòt yo yo te fè. That fight was on five weeks of boxing training. Now I’ve had a year and a half. If he’s standing in the path on the way to the top then so be it, men li la pa yon bagay mwen ap panse sou yo.”

 

Ki sa ki se sou tèt Parker a se ekip batay l ' – San fwa ni lwa mma & Boksè. Opened in 2014 ak ki baze soti nan Benton, Maine, Ruthless is one of the standout new teams emerging on the Maine fight scene consisting of scrappy young athletes. In founding the team, Parker se trè klè ke se li ki sèlman ki enterese nan fòmasyon moun ki grav sou konpetisyon kòm avyon de gè.

 

Ruthless is different because I’m not in it for the money. I don’t take people who are just trying to get in shape or learn about MMA or boxing. We don’t do ‘classes.We fight, chak jou. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, nou ap chèche pou fini an.”

 

Malerezman pou Parker, he has had some trouble finding boxing matches in the past year-and-a-half following the Berry fight. With NEF now operating as an MMA and boxing promotion, Parker, ak lòt moun renmen l ', yo destine yo benefisye de estabilite ak evènman ki konsistan orè yo nan konpayi an.

 

“Li te trè fwistre,” di Parker nan ap eseye jwenn boksè alimèt. “Mwen te eseye mete kanpe yon batay koup nan lòt pwomosyon soti nan leta ak yo te tonbe a. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for Novanm 21yèm, espesyalman yo dwe yon pati nan premye doub mma ak boksè montre nan. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Mwen te fè pa gen anyen men tren depi. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.

 

Apre sa, Parker pral, pa gen dout, fè tès sou Novanm 21 nan “Nef XX.” Opozan li, Eli Leland, se yon manm nan Akademi Jay Jack a nan mma nan Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards. He is currently 2-1 kòm yon pwofesyonèl mma avyon de gè apre mete ansanm yon 3-1 dosye kòm yon amatè. While Leland has established himself as a submission specialist, li te montre men trè bon ak kapasite standeup nan dat nan mma epizod.

 

“Mwen atann mwen li nan dwe batay la byen mennen pou fanatik yo,” di Parker nan match la boksè kap vini ak Leland. “I’ve never been one to trash talk before a fight. I’ll let my hands do the talking on Novanm 21yèm. Fans can expect to see me looking for a knockout for as long as it lasts. Li k ap pase yo dwe genyen yon batay enteresan.”
