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

Leave a comment

NAFAHANA avy hatrany: Lewiston, Maine (Mey 9, 2017) - “I wanna knock her out!” Those were the emphatic words of Alex Walker (3-1) when asked last weekend at “NEF 28” for 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 onAsabotsy, Jona 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 a “cocky” performance 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 June – if 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) ao 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.”

NAFAHANA avy hatrany: Lewiston, Maine (Mey 5, 2017) -New England ady (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Asabotsy, Jona 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. Vao maraina androany, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (4-6) dia handray Dominic “Domination” Jones (1-0) at a weight of 145-pounds. Both athletes are coming off wins last weekend at “NEF 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,” hoy 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 says – dominate – against Tollison Lewis last Saturday night at “NEF 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 Jones’ first 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 Jona 17.

 

“I’m excited for this match up,” stated Jones. “Wrestling versus jiu-jitsu! Fanindroany, 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. Toy Ny 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!

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Martsa 1, 2017) – New England ady (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” amin'ny sabotsy, Aprily 29, 2017 amin'ny Bank Androscoggin Colisee any Lewiston, Maine. Vao maraina androany, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (3-6) hifanena Josh Parker (5-8) amin'ny ady lanjan'ny 145-kilao.

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) tamin'ny volana lasa teo “NEF 27.”

“After Josh’s win over Derek Shorey, I wanted to fight him,” Denning said. “Amin'ny taratasy, 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. Hatramin'izay ady, 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. Koa, 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,” Said Parker. “It’s to prove a point. My name has come out of this kid’s mouth too many times. Amin'ny April 29th, I’m gonna shut it.”

NEF 26 MMA CARD FEATURES WOMEN’S FIGHTS, TITLE FIGHTS, RETURNS, DEBUTS AND MORE

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Oktobra 21, 2016) – New England ady (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” amin'ny sabotsy, Novambra 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Vao maraina androany, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.

 

Ao ny tena zava-nitranga, “The” Ryan Sanders (10-8) hifanena Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sanders’ first fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered a “dream match” by Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanders’ camp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature an interesting “coach vs. mpanazatra” ady. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founder Josh Parker (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest. Shorey is coming off a big win in Rhode Island earlier this fall, while Parker will be returning to the MMA cage after spending the last three years competing as a boxer.

 

Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be undefeated prospect Aaron “Kijanona” Lacey (3-0) ary Taylor Trahan (6-6) ao amin'ny featherweight bout. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” tamin'ny volana lasa. Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport. Trahan will be looking to play the role of spoiler while also avenging the loss of his Team Link teammate John Santos (3-5) to Lacey in Bangor this past August.

 

The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Nick “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) ary Yorgan DeCastro (2-2). DeCastro stepped up to the plate to face Gulliver when no other heavyweight in the region would do so. Gulliver has been on a path of destruction, ripping through three opponents in a combined two minutes.

 

Two women’s fights are on tap for “NEF 26.” Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga (2-2) returns from Florida to meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Brianne Genschel (0-0). Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) will also be in action against Fernanda Araujo (4-4-2).

 

Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy in Portland, Maine will send two new fighters to the cage at “NEF 26.” Chad Pierce (0-0) will debut against Shatterproof’s Lyman Curtis (0-0), raha Phil Chiasson (0-0) mihaona Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics.

SHATTERPROOF AND RUTHLESS IN MAINE TURF WAR AT NEF 26

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Oktobra 4, 2016) – New England ady (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” amin'ny sabotsy, Novambra 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Vao maraina androany, NEF executives announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Josh Parker (4-8) dia handray“Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (4-7) amin'ny ady lanjan'ny 145-kilao.

 

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,” Said Parker. “Faly aho mba hiverina ao an-tranom-borona. I feel like I have a lot to prove. I will show up this time and I will finish this fight – don’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. “Izy lehibe, 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.”

 

The opening bell on Saturday, Novambra 19 no voatendry ho 7 p.m. Tapakila manomboka amin'ny $25 ary tsy hita ao amin'ny www.TheColisee.com na tamin'ny fiantsoana ny Colisee birao boaty amin'ny 207.783.2009, extension 525.

NEW SPORT, IHANY ady fitiavana JOS Parker

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Novambra 5, 2015) - New England ady (NEF), Amerika isa-paritra iray ady fampiroboroboana, dia hanao ny hetsika manaraka, “NEF XX: A TANTARAN'NY HERISETRA” amin'ny Asabotsy, Novambra 21, 2015 tao amin'ny Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mifangaro-miaramila-kanto (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) dia nanao sonia ny tarehy Elias “Loza Mouse” Leland (0-0) ao amin'ny efa-manodidina fifaninanana.

 

Raha ny bout dia ho Parker lalao ady totohondry voalohany amin'ny 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, fa amin'ny ady totohondry peratra.

 

“Ady totohondry dia mendrika tsara kokoa ho ahy foana aho satria tia ny standup ampahany amin'ny MMA,” nanamarika Parker. “Rehefa natolotra ny Brandon Berry (9-1) miady ary nanomboka mifantoka tamin'izany ihany, Fantatro fa nahita ny tena antso. I nialako ny asako, nanomboka ny fanorenana ny ady ekipa, and have done nothing but study and train since. My plan is to stay very active, Te-hiady mpivady rehetra volana raha azo atao.”

 

Araka ny voalaza tetsy, Parker nanomboka ny ady totohondry asa tamin'ny lohataona ny 2014 rehefa nanaiky ny bout amin'ny Brandon Berry in Avaratra 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.

 

“Fantatrao, ny olona manontany foana fa, fa tena tsy miraharaha ady Brandon indray,” Said Parker. “Ianao mijery ny ady, ary lazao amiko ny fomba mpitsara niakatra niaraka tamin'ny maro nataony. 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, saingy tsy zavatra mieritreritra aho.”

 

Inona no ao amin'ny Parker ny saina no ady ekipa – Indrafo MMA & Ady totohondry. Opened in 2014 ary monina avy tany 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 dia mazava tsara fa izy ihany no mahaliana mampiofana ireo izay zava-dehibe ny mifaninana toy ny mpiady.

 

“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, isan'andro. I’m building a fight team. When we fight, no tadiavinao hatramin'ny farany.”

 

Indrisy anefa fa 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, ary ny olon-kafa tia azy, tsy maintsy ho soa avy amin'ny orinasa fahamarinan-toerana sy ny fandaharam-potoana tsy miovaova hetsika.

 

“Izany dia midika hoe Tena mahasorena,” hoy Parker ny miezaka mba hahita ady totohondry lalao. “Niezaka aho mametraka ny mpivady miady amin'ny alalan'ny fisondrotana hafa avy amin'ny fanjakana ary efa lavo amin'ny alalan'ny. I know I can always count on NEF to give me the opportunity to showcase my skills. I’m extremely excited for November 21, indrindra mba ho anisan'ny voalohany MMA fiaviana roa sy ny ady totohondry Show. It’s been a year-and-a-half since my boxing debut. Nanao na inona na inona aho fa ny fiaran-dalamby hatramin'ny. I can’t wait to finally be able to put all that hard work to the test.”

 

Ary Parker dia, tsy isalasalana, halaim-panahy amin'ny Novambra 21 amin'ny “NEF XX.” Ny mpanohitra, Elias Leland, dia mpikambana ao amin'ny Jay Jack ny Academy ny MMA in Portland, Maine. Leland is a talented mixed-martial-artist who has competed regularly on NEF cards.
