Оставить комментарий

Горам, Мэн (Июнь 22, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) announced earlier today that the fight promotion would once again sponsor an athlete at this year’s Brawlin’ Lobsta Wrestling Clinic & Турнир. The camp is set to take place at the Gorham campus of the University of Southern Maine (USM) от Июль 17 to July 22. For the fifth year in a row, NEF will select one winner for which the fight promotion will cover tuition to the program.

“It’s a thrill for us to once again be supporting the Brawlin’ Lobsta Wrestling Clinic,” stated NEF co-owner and Matchmaker Matt Peterson. “This year it’s all the more exciting to be partnering with Maine wrestling legend Brandon Bushaw to send not one, but two wrestlers to clinic. Mike Morin’s USM program is exploding and with the latest round of recruits that he’s brought in, I have no doubt that they will be a threat at the national level within the next two to three seasons. I encourage every Maine wrestler to apply for this scholarship to earn a chance to work with Morin’s decorated staff clinicians. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to sharpen your skills, as well as learn some new ones, during the off-season.”

Дополнительно, NEF MMA veteran Brandon Bushaw has also agreed to sponsor an athlete in the program this year. Now a business owner residing in South Carolina, Bushaw cut his teeth on the mats growing up in Westbrook, Мэн. He won two Maine state titles wrestling for Westbrook High School. После старшей школы, Bushaw went on to wrestle for Michigan State University where he was a teammate of current UFC competitors Rashad Evans and Gray Maynard. He is a member of the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame.

“I attended Boston University wrestling camp between my sophomore and junior seasons in high school,” recalled Bushaw. “Not only did it change me as a wrestler, but I really feel that it changed me as a person. I have attended and coached many camps, and the life lessons you learn there are very important. I am proud to sponsor a young wrestler to attend USM’s Brawlin’ Lobsta wrestling clinic because I feel it is important to give back to a sport and community that has given me so much!”

Camp instructors Mike Morin and Jon Deupree have both competed in the MMA cage in the past. Morin is the head wrestling coach at USM and a two-time All-American. Deupree is an assistant coach with USM. He was a two-time NCAA national qualifier wrestling for the Huskies.

“I would like to thank NEF for supporting USM wrestling and sponsoring another wrestler to attend the Brawlin’ Lobsta Camp this summer,” said Morin. “This sponsorship is huge in allowing kids to have the opportunity to wrestle year-round who might not have that opportunity otherwise. It’s great for our program at USM and great for the state as a whole to get better in the sport of wrestling!”

Interested contestants are asked to submit a photograph of themselves wrestling via email to newenglandfights@gmail.comalong with a brief statement of 100 words or less detailing why they believe the clinic will help them achieve their goals. The winners will also each receive a pair of tickets to “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” as well as an NEF apparel package to wear during the clinic.

NeF в следующем смешанных боевых искусств событие, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Мэн. Мероприятие планируется провести Суббота, Сентябрь 8, 2018 с колоколом 7 вечера. Билеты уже в продаже в www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

CRESPO OUT, МЕРФИ ПРОТИВ АРНОЛЬДА В НЕФСКОЙ ТИТУЛЬНОЙ БОРЬБЕ

Оставить комментарий

Портленд, Мэн (Мая 31, 2018) - Ранее, на этой неделе, Нью-Ингленд Бои (NEF) официальным лицам сообщили, что Майк Креспо был травмирован во время своего боевого лагеря и не сможет участвовать в соревнованиях. “NEF 34: Дом отважных” на Июнь 16 в Портленде. Креспо изначально планировалось встретить Пришел Арнольд (3-0) за вакантный чемпионат NEF MMA среди любителей в легчайшем весе. Киллиан Мерфи (1-0) вышел на замену Креспо и сразился с Арнольдом в Aura за 135-фунтовый титул в запланированном пятираундовом матче..

Мерфи дебютировал в “NEF 33” в прошлом месяце в Портленде с впечатляющей победой над Кришной Скоттом (0-1) с помощью первого раунда техническим нокаутом. Ему не чужд круг победителей. Мерфи - бывший чемпион штата Мэн по борьбе., завоевав титул класса А для средней школы Маршвуд в Эллиотте в 2015. Сегодня, он тренируется с Nostos MMA в Сомерсворте, Нью-Гэмпшир под руководством подписанта UFC, и бывший чемпион NEF в профессиональном легком весе, Девин Пауэлл (8-3). Изначально Мерфи должен был соревноваться с Габриэлем Диасом из Флориды на “NEF 34,” но Диас отказался от боя в начале этого месяца.

«Это захватывающий поворот событий - бороться за 135-фунтовый пояс.,” Мерфи сказал. “Когда я начал это путешествие, моей целью было выиграть этот пояс – и я благодарен за эту возможность. Хочу поблагодарить NEF, мои тренеры, мои товарищи по команде и сторонники. 16 июня, Я заберу этот пояс в Ностос.

Возможно, ни один другой член списка NEF за последние двенадцать месяцев не добился того же успеха, что Кам Арнольд.. В первом раунде он пронзил троих оппонентов, как горячий нож по маслу, включая нокаут ветерана Дэвида Томпсона за одиннадцать секунд в прошлом месяце на турнире. “NEF 33.” Арнольд является членом Центрального штата Мэн бразильского джиу-джитсу Льюистона., Мэн.

"Во-первых, Я просто хочу сказать "спасибо" Киллиану за то, что принял этот бой, а также Мэтту Петерсону за то, что он нашел мне другого противника,” сказал Арнольд, когда обратился за комментарием. “Киллиан многообещающий, захватывающий боец – и я рад столкнуться с ним. Я знаю, что он будет готов, и он будет стремиться встряхнуть это разделение и сделать заявление. Я буду продолжать усердно работать, внести коррективы в стратегию и перейти к следующему этапу. Это будет отличный бой – и я буду следующим чемпионом NEF в 135 фунтах ".

«Ничто не волнует меня больше, чем когда спортсмен появляется в кратчайшие сроки и ухватывается за возможность получить славу. – и это то, что сделал Киллиан Мерфи, согласившись провести этот бой против непобежденного животного, такого как Кам Арнольд,” заявил совладелец NEF и сваха Мэтт Петерсон. “Кама невозможно остановить с тех пор, как он дебютировал менее года назад. – и теперь мы можем увидеть, как он проверяет себя против титулованного борца, чтобы получить шанс на золото NEF.. Как будто эта открытка уже не была летним салютом – теперь мы видим, как два непобежденных шпильки пытаются сбить друг друга в течение пяти раундов чемпионского боя. Это не добирается немного лучше, чем это!"

NeF в следующем смешанных боевых искусств событие, “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” будет проходить в Aura в Портленде, Мэн в субботу, Июнь 16, 2018. Билеты на продаже сейчас на сайте www.AuraMaine.com.

BANTAMWEIGHT BOUT ADDED TO ALREADY-STACKED PORTLAND FIGHT CARD

Оставить комментарий

Портленд, Мэн (Мая 24, 2018) – Last week New England Fights (NEF) released the official card for its upcoming return to Aura in Portland, Мэн. The mixed-martial-arts event, озаглавленный “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, Июнь 16, 2018 с колпаком времени 7:00 вечера EDT. NEF matchmakers, однако, were still hard at work on adding fights to the card, and earlier today they announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the event. Генри Кларк (3-4) столкнется Дейв Браун (1-3) в борьбе веса 135 фунтов.

 

 

 

The lead-up to “NEF 34” has been somewhat of a wild ride for Henry Clark. He was originally scheduled to face Florida’s Krishna Scott (0-1) on the card. Just prior to the announcement of the full fight card, Scott’s camp informed NEF that he was pulling out of the fight. Clark remained in training camp at the Choi Institute in Portland in the hope that NEF matchmakers would find him a replacement opponent. When Dave Brown stepped up to the plate, Clark was quick to accept the opportunity to fight in front of his hometown fans and friends once more.

 

 

 

“I’m so grateful that Dave Brown stepped up,” сказал Кларк. “It takes a lot of guts to take a short notice fight. I would have fought anyone on a week’s notice if it meant fighting in Portland. It’s great motivation for me to finish up my camp knowing who I’m fighting. I’m coming to showcase and steal the show.”

 

 

 

Уроженец Северной Андовер, Массачусетс, Dave Brown is a three-fight veteran of the NEF cage. Prior to his time competing in MMA, Brown wrestled for Plymouth State University in Plymouth, Нью-Гемпшир. He will return to NEF after a three-year absence following his loss to Norman Fox in the spring of 2015. Коричневый, “‘Downtown’ Дейв Браун” as he is known to his fans and friends, is looking forward to his return to action.

 

 

 

“I’ve seen Henry Clark in action and I have a lot of respect for his abilities,” said Brown when reached for comment. “But come June 16, I’m gonna take him down… весь путь в центре города!”

THE FAMILY THAT BLEEDS TOGETHER…

Оставить комментарий

 

Портленд, Мэн (Мая 9, 2018) – The family that bleeds together, stays together.

 

 

 

It isn’t exactly warm, fuzzy, wall-hanging material that you’ll find overlooking somebody’s mantle, but the statement applies to Tampa, Florida-based domestic partners Amanda Gallo and Michael Vizza.

 

 

 

They’ll travel to Maine for their second New England Fights card in four months – and the first featuring both their names on the docket – for “NEF 34: Home of the Brave.”

 

 

 

Fight night is Saturday, Июнь 16 в Ауре в Портленде.

 

 

 

Gallo (1-1), who stunned the crowd with her victory over Jayda Bailey in February, is scheduled to face Brianne Genschell (0-1) in a bantamweight clash. Vizza (1-2) will be paired with NEF newcomer Christian Barrett.

 

 

 

“It was supposed to happen one time, but then I got injured in training. So we’ve had fight camp together before,” Gallo said. “It’s interesting when you’re both training for a fight at the same time. When you put two hungry, angry people together, it can get difficult.”

 

 

The two fought one week apart in their most recent trips to the cage.

 

 

 

Vizza was still training for a bout in Florida when they paid a four-day visit to Maine in the dead of winter for Gallo’s showdown with then-undefeated Bailey.

 

 

 

“Like any relationship it has ups and downs,” Vizza said. “I think we have more ups than downs because we get to spend a lot of time together.”

 

 

 

Since relocating from Tallahassee to Tampa, the couple has trained at RMNU South Tampa. One of their coaches is NEF mainstay John Ortolani.

 

 

 

“We’re basically gym partners. It’s good to have the same interests,” Gallo said. “It’s cool at the gym, because when it’s time partner up with someone to drill or whatever, you know the person.”

 

 

 

After fighting in Georgia and Florida, Gallo wound up taking her first fight in Maine through her connection with Ortolani.

 

 

 

The former lacrosse player, ветеран 20 про бои ММА, spoke highly of his own experience with NEF. Gallo felt the same welcoming atmosphere from both the promotion and its fans in her first go-round.

 

 

 

“John had so many good things to say about the organization,” Gallo said. “And I did have an awesome experience. It’s very well organized. They treat the fighters really well.”

 

 

 

It took a while for her to win over the crowd, конечно. Many of them were responsible for selecting Bailey as NEF’s 2017 rookie of the year.

 

 

 

В преддверии боя, Gallo saw an internet poll in which 97 percent of the fans picked her opponent to win.

 

 

 

“It can mess with your head a little bit when you feel like you’re considered that big an underdog, but I also used it as motivation to prove them wrong,” Gallo said. “You feel like there’s nothing to lose.”

 

 

 

Gallo had to laugh at the crowd response during fighter introductions, which was similarly slanted.

 

 

 

“They announced her name and everybody screamed,” Gallo said. “When they announced mine you could hear crickets.”

 

 

 

After losing her debut in Thomasville, Грузия, by split decision to a veteran opponent, Gallo balanced the books with a unanimous decision victory at Bailey’s expense.

She will take on another local favorite in Genschell (0-1), who fights out of Farmington and First Class MMA of Topsham.

 

 

 

“I know she’s a black belt in jiu-jitsu, so that will be an interesting challenge,” Gallo said of Genschell.

 

 

 

Challenges and surprises are part of the attraction of fighting in Maine, added Vizza, who also will take on a foe from the First Class stable in Barrett.

 

 

 

Vizza has a TKO win and losses by split decision and submission in his home region.

 

 

 

“It’s just good to get a different perspective. We kind of know most of the people who fight around here,” Vizza said of the southeast. “It’s fun to train to fight someone you’ve never really seen or heard of, and to do it about as far away as you can go.”

 

 

 

Both fighters were impressed by the passion and loyalty of NEF fans. Vizza noted that seeing thousands of casual spectators at a local MMA promotion is unheard of in Florida.

 

 

 

“The energy is definitely crazy. I’ve never seen so many people so excited to watch people fight that they haven’t even heard of,"Он сказал. “Down here you’re pretty much fighting in front of your family and friends. Up there people are excited to go see people they don’t even know. It’s for the genuine appreciation of the sport.”

 

 

 

In Gallo’s case, women’s opponents are hard to find in her corner of the country. The sudden spike of competitiveness in NEF’s female ranks could make Maine a semi-regular destination for years to come.

 

 

 

“When I lived in Tallahassee it was extremely difficult to find women’s fights, or fights in general. MMA is just not very big there,” Gallo said. “Down in Tampa there is a lot more promotion of the sport, but it’s still hard. All the fighters kind of know each other.”

 

 

 

At this rate, Gallo and Vizza may become a well-known power couple – some 1,450 miles from home – in no time.

BANTAMWEIGHT REMATCH SIGNED FOR NEF 34 В Портленде

Оставить комментарий

Портленд, Мэн (Апреля 30, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) возвращается к Aura в Портленде, Мэн с его следующим событием смешанных боевых искусств, “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” в субботу ночь, Июнь 16, 2018. Ранее сегодня, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Эрнесто Орнелас (3-7) подписал контракт на лицо Карл Langston (0-1) в борьбе веса 135 фунтов.

The bout will be a rematch of their fight in Portland earlier this month. Ornelas and Langston initially met at “NEF 33” апреля 14 at Aura. Орнелас, a member of Portland’s The Choi Institute, put on an impressive showing for the duration of three rounds on his way to a unanimous decision win on the judges’ системы показателей. The victory was Ornelas’ first in the NEF cage with four previous attempts since the promotion’s inception in February 2012. (Он имеет рекорд 1-0 as a professional in the NEF boxing ring as well.) Not only is Ornelas predicting another win over Langston on Июнь 16 – he promises to finish his foe this time.

“Carl said his nerves got the better of him that night. Не, they didn’t – Я got the better of him, once I stepped into that cage and took the center and looked him in the eye,” said Ornelas imperatively. “I saw fear. A true fighter has no fear. Июнь 16, he will see what a true fighter looks like, as he looks up at me from the flat of his back.”

The “NEF 33” bout with Ornelas was Langston’s pro debut after a lengthy amateur career that spanned 16 fights and more than four years. Many of his friends and family had turned out for the event in his hometown of Portland. And while Langston did force Ornelas to the scorecards, the Young’s MMA member was disappointed in his own performance, blaming the loss on nerves. He immediately asked NEF matchmakers for a rematch against Ornelas on the Июнь 16 Portland card.

“I couldn’t be more excited about getting this rematch,” declared Langston. “I asked for this rematch the same night I lost to Ernie. I just wasn’t me that night. It was my first pro fight and my nerves got to me. I just didn’t feel like myself in there. Это, как говорится, I still took him to a decision being that he had nine pro fights and I was making my pro debut. He still doesn’t bring the skill set and talent that I bring to the cage. This was a big mistake for Ernie to accept this rematch. He got lucky the first time, and I promise I will finish him this time. I know what it feels like being in there with him now, and I will make him fold without a doubt in my mind. He’s a mouthpiece, and I’m going to silence him and his groupies.”

Портленд, Мэн (Апреля 27, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) возвращается к Aura в Портленде, Мэн с его следующим событием смешанных боевых искусств, “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” в субботу вечером, Июнь 16, 2018.

She lost to Sarah Matulis (1-0) via TKO last fall at “NEF, 31.” She returned to meet Catie Denning (1-0) in February at “NEF 32.” Tucker forced Denning to a decision, but lost on the judges’ системы показателей.

“I look forward to stepping into the cage with Glory,” said Tucker. “It’s always an honor to step into the cage with anyone who puts in the time and work. She comes from a very good gym and so do I. I have some great sparring partners and coaches. I’m excited to show what I have learned every time I make an appearance.”

“NEF 34” will be the debut of Glory Watson in the MMA cage. Watson is a product of Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine where she is a teammate of Catie Denning who defeated Chelsea Tucker earlier this year. She is eager to test the skills she has picked up from her team in the cage this June.

Портленд, Мэн (Апреля 26, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) возвращается к Aura в Портленде, Мэн с его следующим событием смешанных боевых искусств, “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” в субботу ночь, Июнь 16, 2018. Ранее сегодня, промоушен боя объявил о добавлении в кард боя профессионального легкого веса. Reigning NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion “The” Райан Сандерс (15-9) столкнется Vince McGuiness (5-7) in a non-title bout at a fight weight of 155-pounds.

Ryan Sanders has had a storied career in the NEF cage. He competed in, и выиграл, the main event of the very first NEF card in February 2012 over veteran Dan Keefe (7-3). Sanders fought on ten of the first fifteen NEF cards, including the company’s co-promotion with Bellator in the spring of 2013. After more than a two-year absence from NEF, Sanders returned to the promotion in August 2016 and went on a five-fight win-streak over the course of the next year – the longest streak of his career. During that stint, Sanders captured his first gold in NEF – the coveted professional lightweight title – with a victory over Jon Lemke (7-8) Последняя весна. The bout with McGuiness will be Sanders’ first in the NEF cage since August 2017. He will be looking to bounce back from a loss in Massachusetts last month. Sanders is a longtime member of Bangor, Maine’s Young’s MMA fight team.

“I’m ecstatic to be back fighting for the NEF, it has been too long,” said Sanders. “I’m back to show the fans that I’m the best lightweight in the region, and that I’m on the road to be the best lightweight in the world. I really appreciate Vince taking this fight. I look forward to showing my improvements and the work that I’ve been putting in while away from the cage. I have great coaches, teammates, and an amazing wife in my corner that makes me truly feel unstoppable. Come watch me take another step towards my destiny on Июнь 16 in Portland.”

Уроженец Бруклина, New York and current head coach of Bang Muay Thai in Tampa, Флорида, Vince McGuiness is no stranger to the New England MMA scene. His two most recent fights have been in Massachusetts, and McGuiness has even competed previously on a Portland fight card in 2015. He will be looking to rebound against Sanders after losing his last four bouts in the cage.

“I’m excited to be back in New England fighting again,” said McGuiness. “I always get love up there. I’m ready to put on a scrap!"

Портленд, Мэн (Апреля 25, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) возвращается к Aura в Портленде, Мэн с его следующим событием смешанных боевых искусств, “NEF 34: Дом отважных,” в субботу вечером, Июнь 16, 2018. Ранее сегодня, продвижение борьбы объявило о добавлении любителя женщин веса боя на карту. Кэрол Линн Пауэлл (0-1) планируется к лицу Сара Матулис (1-0) в борьбе веса 135 фунтов.

 

 

 

 

Powell is the wife of current UFC signee and former NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (8-3). Вместе, the couple owns and operates Nostos MMA & Conditioning Facility in Somersworth, Нью-Гемпшир. The gym earned the “Best Martial Arts Gym” designation in the 2017 “Best of the Seacoast” награды. Carol Linn made her in-cage debut last November in Portland against Francesca Morabito (1-0), losing a hard-fought decision on the judges’ системы показателей. Ранее в этом месяце, Powell grappled Chelsea Tucker to a draw to open “NEF 33″ в Портленде.

 

 

 

 

“Words can’t describe how excited and thankful I am to be partaking in the third NEF event in Portland after competing in the first and second,” said Powell when reached for comment. “Both times I’ve been in the cage have been very entertaining—the first of which ended in me getting my contacts knocked out and looking like Sloth after—and this time will be no different, I just plan on getting the job done quicker. I am looking forward to getting back in there and testing myself again and getting to witness how much better I have gotten at the sport. Sarah and I both made our debuts at ‘NEF 31’ в ноябре, and I can’t wait to overcome the new challenges she has for me and to get my first win in the cage.”

 

 

 

 

Like Powell, Sarah Matulis did indeed make her cage debut at “NEF 31” last November in Portland. That evening she was victorious over Chelsea Tucker with a first-round technical knockout. By day, Matulis is a mother and nurse practitioner who studied nursing at Pace University in New York. She is a member of The Outlet based in Dexter, Maine and regularly competes in grappling events throughout the New England region.

 

 

 

 

“I’m thrilled to be competing again for NEF,” said Matulis. “Carol Linn and I are both budding amateur fighters. I know she’s hunting for her first win, but I plan to remain undefeated. NEF fans are accustomed to seeing spectacular WMMA bouts, and I fully expect this fight will keep to that standard.”
