DESPITE SETBACKS, NATE BOUCHER IS NOT BACKING DOWN

Оставете коментар

За незабавно освобождаване: Бангор, Maine (Януари 23, 2019) – Nate Boucher’s journey inside the New England Fights’ (NEF) смесени бойни изкуства (MMA) cage has not been a course without its challenges and heartbreak along the way.

After winning his first two outings at the start of his amateur fight career, Буше, a lifelong wrestler, earned a chance to compete for the NEF Flyweight Championship. His title shot came in November 2017 in front of a sold-out crowd when NEF made its highly anticipated Portland, Maine debut. Тази нощ, Boucher was outscored on the judge’s cards and dropped a close, controversial split-decision to NEF veteran Justin Witham. It’s a loss that continues to confound Boucher almost a year and a half later.

“As far as I’m concerned, I won the flyweight title that night,” Boucher stated recently in an interview with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole on theBetween Rounds Radioподкаст. “I try to watch that fight and be optimistic the best that I can. I try to watch that fight and be respectful of what the judge’s could have seen. There’s not an absolute bone in my body that sees the fight going the way the judge’s said it went. Това се каза, they decided that Justin Witham won that night. He knows I’m coming after him. I’m going to do what it takes to get back into that title conversation and I’m going to get that win back. "

The Witham loss would be followed by two more defeats for Boucher.

In Boucher’s first fight back after losing to Witham, he dropped another split-decision against his hometown wrestling rival, multiple-time state champion, and former NEF Flyweight Champion, Райън "Gordo" Burgess.

Jumping right back into the cage two months after his loss to Burgess, Boucher sustained the only stoppage defeat on his record when he lost via third-round technical knockout to former bantamweight title contender, Walt Shea, who fights out of John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

През ноември миналата година, down but not out, Boucher rebounded from three-losses-in-a-row by finishing 2018 off with a first-round submission victory over Jordan Young, a state champion wrestler from Belfast, Maine. The contest took place in the 135-pound weight class.

“Jordan was coming off of a win against my teammate—a tough teammate of mine,", Каза Баучър. “Not many guys on a three-fight skid would take a fight with a guy coming off of a win and then beat him in the first round. Така, I hope that opened some eyes for people so they know exactly what I’m about and they know that I’m strong mentally.

“I’m very happy with myself that I was able to fight like I train,” Boucher recounted regarding his win over Young. “The cut to 135 isn’t as much as it is to flyweight and I think that played a big part in my cardio. I was in great shape for that fight. Умствено, I knew I was going to win months before the fight happened.”

With six bouts already under his belt, Буше, at only 22-years of age, knows that he still has limitless room to grow within the sport.

“I’m an amateur,” he noted to Jarrell and Stackpole. “I’m a student of the game and I’m learning and developing my skills. I haven’t even come close to what my full potential is. I knew what I can achieve—I know what is possible if I stay on the path.”

Boucher’s 2019 fight season officially begins on Friday, Февруари 1во when he’s scheduled to face newcomer Dillon Henry from First Class MMA. Henry is also a wrestler, having competed for Windham High School. Henry now trains with one of Boucher’s previous opponents, Walt Shea. Regardless of being pitted against the teammate of the only fighter that’s ever stopped him in MMA competition, Boucher stated that he’s confident in the matchup.

“I know he’s going to be training with Walt Shea, очевидно,", Каза Баучър. “I know that Walt Shea is going to pass down information he feels is going to help him. It won’t… He seems to look like a strong guy. All I am going to do is I’m going to prepare myself and I’m going to become a better fighter in this fight camp and I’m going to go out there and fight him. I think it will go my way, for sure.”

Squaring off in the cage against other talented wrestlers is nothing new for Boucher. He defeated four-time Maine state wrestling champion Jeremiah Barkac by first-round submission the last time he competed in Bangor. Ryan Burgess was a three-time state champion for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

“I probably perform at my best against wrestlers,” Boucher stated. “They have really bad habits that a lot of wrestlers don’t seem to be able to shake off their first couple of fights, including myself. Fortunate for me, I have a coach like Jesse Erickson who’s a top-level guy when it comes to the jiu jitsu game around these parts, and he’s shown me the difference between what wrestling the sport is and what wrestling in a fight is. They’re different types of wrestling. I think he’s [Хенри] going to expose himself and leave himself open. He’s going to make some rookie mistakes and I’m going to capitalize.”

While the prospect of defeating another wrestler in the NEF cage is an inspiring proposition to Boucher, he’s also excited by the opportunity to once again compete in Maine’s Queen City.

“I’ve never lost in Bangor,” Nate said. “I love that venue. I love the city of Bangor. I’m excited to be there and I’m excited to be sharing a card with some of the monsters that are on it. There’s a lot of great fights on this card and I’m very much looking forward to seeing some of them myself. It’s going to be a great show—I can’t wait.”

“I’m starting to earn my stripes a little bit in the cage,” Boucher added. “I’m starting to get more comfortable. I’m starting to feel more and more like a recognized name in the NEF—and I think all of that is going to play a factor. I think he’s [Хенри] bit off a little more than he can chew for his first fight and, за съжаление, he’s going to figure that out very hard on February 1.”

Като 2018 came to a close, Буше, like many forward-thinking individuals, clearly defined his goals for the year ahead.

“I will be the flyweight champ in the NEF at the end of this year [2019],” Boucher stated confidently. “No doubt about it. That’s what my mind is set on right now.

“My teammate, Кам Арнолд, he’s going to carry that belt straight through at 135. Мъж, the two of us together are some bad dudes. I’m fortunate to have him to push me through this mentally and be able to get me on the right mindset of what a champion is supposed to be—and I’m going to be there, right there with him at flyweight. Мъж, it’s going to be one hell of a one-two punch, това е сигурно."

следващо събитие смесени бойни изкуства NEF си, "NEF 37: ПОД НУЛАТА,” will take place on Friday, Февруари 1, 2019 в Cross Insurance Center в Бангор, Мейн с час на камбана от 8 следобед Билетите са в продажба в момента наwww.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Напрежението се разгарят като Бивши Falcons съотборници се подготвят за MMA Cage Battle

Оставете коментар

Lewiston, Maine (Януари 10, 2018) – Израснал в същата синьо-яка общност и напредък през едни и същи, едноетажна спортна програма, не означава непременно да направи двама мъже добрите приятели.

 

 

 

Бивши съотборници Mountain Valley High School, и бъдещето на Нова Англия Битки смесени бойни изкуства опоненти, Райън Бърджис и Нейт Баучър са доказателство на старата максима, “познаване породи презрение.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, и Баучер, 21, ще се бият в Flyweight мач любител на "НЕФ 32: Супер Събота"Върху Събота, Февруари 3. Борбата в Androscoggin Bank Colisee ще определи номер едно претендент в разделението на 125-килограмова, и спечелете победителя заглавие прострелян срещу шампион Джъстин Уитам.

 

 

 

Тя ще да е почти една година, тъй като Burgess, трикратен Мейн гимназията шампион по борба и покрай NEF Титуляр, влезе в клетката. Той призова NEF съсобственик и сватовник Мат Питърсън и иска по-специално борбата Баучер.

 

 

 

Защо? От една страна, това е бизнес решение, след като близо Буше, загуба разделен решение за Уитам в заглавие мач ноември.

 

 

 

"Аз съм бил в продължение на една година. Надявах се да скочи обратно в борбата заглавие,"Бърджис обяснено. "След битка на Нейт с Уитам, Знаех, че той би искал непосредствена реванша. След като стана ясно, че няма да се случи до края на април, Попитах дали можем да направим тази борба през февруари, и Нейт го взе. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) впоследствие стартира една или две социални медии гранати, която се появи за да покаже някакво ниво на враждебност към колегата си Falcon. Много е вероятно по-малко лично от тактическа; Бърджис усети възможност да се възползват от това, което вижда като една от пукнатините в броня на Буше.

 

 

 

"Нейт, Оттогава той е бил дете, има пикня-лошо отношение, когато той губи. Надявам се да го смири малко и се уверете, че той не трябва да се притеснявате за тази борба все в ръцете на съдиите,", Каза Burgess. "Нейт вероятно биха могли да бъдат от два- или-трикратния шампион състояние, ако той самият е дадена възможност да направи това. Ако той все още има същото отношение той имаше тогава, че ще свърши по същия начин. "

 

 

 

Бърджис е една от само четири трикратните шампиони в историята на държавни MVHS. По стечение на обстоятелствата, брат на Буше, Итън, Също така извършва подвиг.

 

 

 

Буше, който вече е изваден четирикратен шампион Мейн гимназията мат, и два пъти финалист Нова Англия, Еремия Barkac на Декстър по време на престоя си в шестоъгълник NEF, изглежда и звучи като различен характер от този, който се бореше от тепиха като тийнейджър.

 

 

 

След като спечели първите си два двубоя с лекота, Буше (2-1) не беше единственият, в сградата, който смяташе, че е направил достатъчно, за да печелят на колана в Портланд.

 

 

 

"Мислех, че контролира първите два кръга от борбата. И трите, наистина. Първите две съм почти трябваше (Уитам) задавено,", Каза Баучър. "Това в крайна сметка е поучителен опит за мен, че не може да напусне борбата за съдиите. Най-хубавото на аматьорски редиците е, докато разбира се, че ми пука за запис, В края на деня, това е част от процеса на обучение, за да ви направи по-добър професионалист. "

 

 

 

В отговор на Burgess’ залпа на Facebook, Буше разпитан поведение на бившия шампион, след като печели каишката NEF две битки в кариерата си.

 

 

 

"Аз не съм много за разговори за боклук. Аз просто се наслаждавате на спорта. Харесва ми да се бият и след това просто да се прибера вкъщи. Той го прави малко, за да се изгради своя Аз мисля, че,", Каза Баучър. "Той се отказа от колана, защото той е проблеми при извършването на тегло, което е доста неуважително, според мен. Той е бил за известно време, така че сега съм пред него, и той знае, че трябва да мине през мен. "

 

 

 

Бърджис, каза той използва, че съкращения, за да завършите колежа си образование и развитие на акредитивните си писма като физическо асистент терапевт, което показва, че медицинската професия е по-вероятно да бъде негова дългосрочна кариера от ВМА.

 

 

 

Докато той продължава обучението си график, при Читалище Rumford с берсеркерите ВМА, Бърджис каза, че е по-малко интензивен и структуриран преди загубите си срещу Уитам и Дъстин Veinott. Бърджис-рано победи и двете съперници.

 

 

 

"Физически аз все още трябва да ги бият, но психически не бях като получи, както трябваше да съм. Сега съм много по-фокусирани,", Каза Burgess. "По времето, когато аз бях завършил училище, работа на непълно работно време 20 към 30 часа на седмица и да ходят на училище за най-вероятно друг 40. Загубих две битки, където бях при тегло. Бях наддава, докато другите момчета бяха рязане тегло. Аз ще отида там на границата и те ще постави на 10 към 15 лири между тегленето и борбата. "

 

 

 

Буше разбира се никога не достига своя потенциал като гимназията борец. Той е последван от друг път Burgess, записване в Централна Мейн бразилско жиу-житцу - когато той все още тренира днес - годишна възраст 13.

 

 

 

"Имам някои от най-трудните и най-добри партньори за обучение в държавата,", Каза Баучър. "Моята жиу-житцу извървя дълъг път, почти на мястото, където той е преминал моята борба малко. Разбира се, борба е това, което винаги се връщам, когато имам нужда от него. Моето впечатление прави през нощта и деня. Беше ужасно за първата си битка. "

 

 

 

Той добави, че най-голямото му успех в ММА е дошъл, за сметка на бившите борци.

 

 

 

Бърджис разчита на Буше да подценяваме останалата част от репертоара си. Като човек, който заема по борба в средното училище младши играя за отбор в седми клас, той каза, че неговата история като бърз проучване е пренесена в сферата на джиу-джицу и бокса.

 

 

 

"Мисля, че той ще се изненадате. Той мисли, че знае какво доведе до масата,", Каза Burgess. "Всичко, което знае за мен е моята борба, но имам много повече от това да падне обратно на. Аз вече знам това, което той носи на масата. И той няма да се научи за два месеца това, което съм научил след две години."

 

 

 

камбаната на отваряне на Февруари 3 е определен за 7 p.m. Билетите са на разположение в www.TheColisee.com.

NEF FLYWEIGHT TITLE WILL BE UP FOR GRABS IN PORTLAND

Портланд, Maine (Август 21, 2017) - New England Битки (NEF) will make its debut in Portland on Петък, Ноември 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts title bout to the card. Нейт Баучер (2-0) ще се изправят Джъстин Witham (3-4) with the winner to be crowned the new NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. The 125-pound title currently sits vacant.

Nate Boucher brings a background in wrestling with him to the cage. He competed for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) in Rumford, Maine prior to training in MMA. Boucher made his NEF debut in 2014, just months after his eighteenth birthday – the legal age limit for competing in MMA in Maine. Earlier this month in Bangor, Boucher made his return to the NEF cage. He was victorious by first-round submission over Jeremiah Barkac (0-1). Boucher is currently a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ).

“It’s an amazing feeling knowing that my childhood dream is coming true,” said Boucher when reached for comment. “This fight was only a matter of time. All my years of training is for this moment.”

Justin Witham got off to a slow start in his amateur career. He lost his first three in a row prior to his first victory over Brent Ouellette (0-1) by technical knockout in the first round. Witham is currently riding a two-fight win streak. По-рано тази година, he submitted previous flyweight champion Ryan Burgess (2-2) in a non-title bout, avenging an earlier loss to Burgess. Witham represents the Shatterproof Combat Club.

“Much respect to my opponent and anyone who steps inside the cage,” said Witham. “Every fighter has a fight that makes or breaks him. I will not break. This is the culmination of three years of hard work. Blood, пот и сълзи – time away from my loved ones. Capturing the 125-pound title means everything to me and I will not be leaving without it over my shoulder!”

BROTHER AND SISTER MMA FIGHTERS RETURN TO CAGE AT NEF 27

Оставете коментар

 

Lewiston, Maine (Декември 15, 2016) -Нови Англия Битки (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Февруари 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced the addition of two amateur bouts to the card. Райън Burgess (2-1) ще се бият Джъстин Witham (2-4) in a flyweight contest while his sister, Nicole Burgess (0-1), придобива Sarah Ziehm (0-0) in the strawweight division.

 

This will not be the first time the Burgess siblings have competed on an NEF card together. Last June at “NEF 24,” Ryan and Nicole would taste defeat at the hands of Dustin Veinott (5-4) and Alex Walker (2-1), съответно. They will look to redeem themselves on Февруари 11.

 

“I’m super excited to get my sister back in the cage on the same card as me,” said Ryan Burgess. “She has always been a competitor and being able to train side by side with her throughout this fight camp will help me as much as it will help her. She is tough as nails and everything I will be helping her learn over the next two months will just reinforce the knowledge I have already obtained from my coaches. Her debut was against a seasoned fighter in Alex Walker and I can’t wait to see her take home her first win on February 11th.”

 

Ryan and Nicole are based out of the Berserkers MMA camp in Rumford, Maine. They grew up in neighboring Mexico, Maine. Ryan was a three-time state wrestling champion out of Mountain Valley High School, while Nicole, a multi-sport athlete, also wrestled and excelled in field hockey. She has continued her field hockey career at Plymouth State University. Ryan captured the NEF MMA Flyweight Title last year. Both siblings are confident that Nicole can replicate his success in the cage.

 

“Training with my brother is both a challenge and a blessing,” said Nicole. “We’ll get on each other’s nerves, but at the end of the day we want each other to succeed. Още, he’s a good partner to have on your team.”

 

Ryan’s bout at “NEF 27” will be a rematch. In their first meeting, he defeated Justin Witham via unanimous decision at “NEF 18” in the summer of 2015.

 

“Rematching Witham will be a perfect opportunity for me to showcase the huge strides I have made over the last year and a half since the beginning of my MMA career. He is a really tough dude and I know he will show up for a war, but I have made huge improvements in all aspects of my game since adding Jason Bell to my corner and I will be the one to decide the outcome of this fight. I will control the pace of the fight and whether I want to take it to him on the feet or take him down and submit him, there is nothing he will be able to do to stop me. This fight will not go three rounds.”

 

Justin Witham is a member of the Shatterproof Combat Club. Since his loss to Burgess, Witham has gone 2-1 including an impressive submission win over Conner Murphy (1-1) В последната си разходка. Witham is certain that he can defeat Burgess in the rematch.

 

“I’ve been wanting this fight since the second our first fight was over,” exclaimed Witham. “I can and will win!”

 

As for Nicole, she will be taking on the debuting Sarah Ziehm. Ziehm is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in nearby Auburn, Maine.

 

“I’m looking forward to getting back into the cage,” said Nicole. “I think my first fight was a good learning experience and I got out all my nerves that I didn’t expect to have. Сега, it’s my turn to come out with a ‘W’ for my team.”

 

NEF’s next event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE” ще се състои на Събота, Февруари 11, 2017 при 7 p.m. Билетите започват от $25 и са в продажба сега в www.TheColisee.com или като се обадите на боксофис Colisee в 207.783.2009, extension 525.
