Leave sa usa ka comment

SA HINANALING PAGPAGAWAS: Lewiston, Maine (Marso 16, 2017) – New England away (Kaha) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “Kaha 28: INVINCIBLE” sa Sabado, Abril 29, 2017 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition an amateur women’s bout to the card. Alex Walker (2-1) makigtagbo Katie Baker (0-0) at the strawweight limit of 115-pounds.

 

Walker and Baker were originally scheduled to face each other last month at “NEF 27.” Subo nga, a medical issue forced Walker to withdraw from the contest just days before the fight. Now fully healed, Walker is back training regularly at the Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire in preparation for “NEF 28.”

 

“Injuries have plagued me and my team for the last two years, but I am healthy now, so watch out,” exclaimed Walker. “I am going on a run and nothing will stop me!”

 

Losing her opponent so close to the event was definitely a disappointment for Baker and her many fans. Training in the martial arts from an early age, the eighteen-year-old had waited years to compete in the MMA cage. Baker is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. She made her amateur boxing debut last year.

 

“I was really bummed when Alex withdrew from our fight,” said Baker. “You make the sacrifices it takes to train and diet, not to mention the disappointment of those who purchased tickets. But I knew, and our fans knew, Alex is a warrior and would not back out unless something was wrong. I’m looking forward to finally meeting her in the cage on April 29th.”

 

New England Fights returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Kaha 28: INVINCIBLE,” sa Sabado, Abril 29, 2017. Tickets are on sale now at the Colisee box office 207-783-2009 x 525 ug sa online sa www.TheColisee.com.

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Enero 11, 2017) -bag-Ong England away (Kaha) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Pebrero 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the full card for the event. The night will feature both amateur and professional MMA bouts.

 

Headlining the evening will be the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new professional lightweight champion. The title was vacated when previous champion Devin Powell (8-1) signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Ryan Sanders (12-8) kuhaon sa John Ortolani (8-10) samtang Jon Lemke (5-7) mga nawong Jesse Erickson (9-5) in a rematch from Bellator 93. The winners of those two bouts will meet in the finals tentatively scheduled for “NEF 28” later this year.

 

In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Ras Hylton (0-0) mohimo sa iyang propesyonal nga debut batok sa Mike Hansen (5-4). Ang 6’6″ Hylton, o “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie sa Tuig” by NEF fans after going 3-0 ingon nga usa ka amateur. Hansen was a Maine state wrestling champion for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS), and he has developed quite a reputation for downing larger opponents on both the mats and the MMA cage. Hansen was the recipient of the “2016 Submission of the Year” award.

 

Speaking of 2016 award mananaog, ang “Fighter sa Tuig,” featherweight paglaom Aaron Lacey (4-0), will look for his fifth consecutive victory in less than a year when he meets Florida’s Chris Jacobs (1-0). Jacobs put together an impressive 8-3 rekord ingon sa usa ka amateur, winning regional titles along the way.

 

The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) modepensa batok sa Victor Irwin (2-0). Glover has held the title since last February. Both Glover and Irwin were Maine state wrestling champions – Glover with MVHS and Irwin with Brewer High School.

 

Also scheduled on the amateur card are no less than three women’s bouts. Angela Young (1-2), who put on multiple “Fight sa Night” performances in 2016, returns to face New Hampshire’s Christine Brothwell (0-2). Young’s teammate, Katie Baker (0-0), will make her in-cage debut against another tough competitor from the Granite State in the form of Alex Walker (2-1), samtang Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).
