ZA TAKOJŠNJO OBJAVO: Portland, Maine (Februar 10, 2020) – More than 2000 braved frigid temperatures on Saturday night as New England Fights (NEF) brought its most recent mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event to the stage of Merrill Auditorium in Portland. 22 fights took place under the shadow of the world-famous 1911 Kotzschmar Memorial Organ. It was NEF’s debut at the century-old venue, and the event opened the venerable fight promotion’s ninth season of MMA competition.

V glavnem primeru zvečer, UFC veteranManny “The Bermudez Triangle” Bermudez(15-2) predloženBruce "Pretty Boy" Boyington (19-12) with a guillotine choke in the first round. The bout was originally scheduled to be contested for the NEF Professional Lightweight Title, but with Bermudez missing championship weight, he was not eligible to win the belt. The title currently remains vacant.

Bermudez’s victory capped a perfect night for the South Shore Sportfighting team of Rockland, Massachusetts. Teammates Darryl Andrews (1-0) in Tim Birkenhead (2-0) were both successful in their respective fights to lift their gym to a 3-0 record on the event.

Also going 3-0 on the evening was the team of Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.Teddy Politis (1-0), Ben Grady (1-0), inTyler Smythe (1-0) all stopped their opponents within the first minute of the first round of their respective fights to win their respective amateur debuts.

The biggest story of the night, undoubtedly, came in the co-main event as longtime NEF veteranJesse “The Viking” Erickson(10-8) handedJosh “Hook On” Harvey(7-1-1) the first loss of his professional career. Erickson, who represents both Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Recon Fitness, put on a brilliant jiu-jitsu clinic that will be remembered for years to come. Trapped against the cage by Harvey early-on in the first round, Erickson pulled guard and transitioned through a chain of submissions before finally settling in with an armbar to force the tapout, sending the Portland crowd into an absolute frenzy.

In a wild heavyweight slugfest that also took place on the professional portion of the card, Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (5-3) downedBrad Lee(0-1) via technical knockout in the second round. After several minutes of feeling each other out, the pair exchanged in a back-and-forth slobber-knocker in the closing moments of the first round. A little over a minute into the second round, the referee called a halt to the action after several unanswered strikes from the 6’6” Hylton.

Hylton’s First Class MMA teammateJacob Deppmeyer(1-0) had a successful pro debut, zmagiCarl Langston(0-5) via first-round technical knockout. Deppmeyer, trapped Langston in a reverse triangle and rained down a series of unanswered elbows, giving the referee no option but to stop the bout at that point.

On the amateur card, top prospectMike Bezanson (5-0) of Kaze Dojo remained undefeated with a technical knockout win overGreg Ishihara(2-2) V prvem krogu.

Also remaining undefeated in the amateur ranks wereNate “The Mule” White(5-0) inCaleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0), both fighting out of CMBJJ, who finished their respective opponents in the first round.

Another CMBJJ product, Garry Carr (3-1), broke his own record for a second consecutive time when he became, yet again, the oldest athlete to win a fight in the NEF cage. At 58-years-young, Carr took a unanimous decision victory over 23-year-old Austin Hamilton (0-2) in a catchweight amateur fight.

NEF also announced that its next event would see the promotion return to the campus of UMaine Orono at the Collins Center for the Arts on April 18 with “NEF 43: Rampage.” Already confirmed for the event, Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) will defend the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title againstDevin Corson(3-1), medtemChelsea Tucker(3-3) is scheduled to meet Oregon’sCaree Hill(6-2) for the NEF Amateur Women’s Flyweight Championship, and Caleb Austin facesJames Ploss (1-2) in a long-awaited rematch of their controversial 2017 konec.

BOJNI ŠPORTI DAJO SMER BEZANSONU PO DRUŽINSKI TRAGEDIJI

Pustite komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Junij 13, 2016) – Bojni športi so dali Mike Bezanson (1-0) smer. Pomagali so mu tudi pri vzpostavljanju odnosa z očetom, ki si ga je vedno zaželel, a nikoli ni mogel dojeti.

Zdaj, na predvečer Očetovega dne, manj kot teden dni po štiriletnici očetove prezgodnje smrti, Bezanson je pripravljen narediti še en korak v karieri, ki so bile njune skupne sanje.

Bezanson, 21, Lancaster, N.H., se vrne v šesterokotnik New England Fights, da ga prevzame Shawn Bang (1-1) Auburn, Maine, v dvoboju v polmeru na “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela." Njihov amaterski dvoboj je ena izmed mnogih zanimivosti naSobota, Junij 18 kartico pri Androscoggin Bank Colisee v Lewistonu.

»Mislim, da bo ta boj zame dober, ker bom svoje sposobnosti lahko pokazal proti nasprotniku z več izkušnjami v kletki, kot jih imam,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Tudi, Dejstvo, da je Junij 18 je dan pred očetovskim dnevom to zame sentimentalna in čustvena borba. "

Na bis pride skoraj leto dni po dnevu, ko je Bezanson ustavil Jeffa Dustina (0-1) s tehničnim nokautom s stavkami v svojem prvem mešanem borilnem športu junija 13, 2015. Bang je razdelil prvi dve sodbi v kletki NEF.

Bezansonovo razstavljanje, Stil stick-and-move je pri množici, ki je bila priča njegovim začetniškim prizadevanjem, naletel na mešane kritike. Nekateri so izžvižgali relativno pomanjkanje ukrepov, morda sumil, da se je Bezanson poigraval s prekomerno izbranim nasprotnikom.

Vse je bilo del njegovega načrta, da se nauži trenutka in izkoristi priložnost.

»Resnično smo imeli načrt igre, da bi dobili izkušnje,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Če imam kakšne misli, da bi šel pro, Moram pridobiti čim več izkušenj. Če vstopiš tja in nekoga zavrneš 10 sekund, ne razumite me narobe, dobil si nokavt in to je super, vendar se ne naučite, kaj je potrebno, da se počutite udobno na drugi strani tega 10 sekund. Ne veste, koliko energije boste potrebovali. "

Bezansonu ni nikoli primanjkovalo energije, ali osebnost, od otroštva. Zase se opisuje kot mladenič, ki ni nikoli zašel v resnejše težave, in nikoli ni eksperimentiral z drogami ali drugimi neurejenimi vedenji, ampak tisti, ki je svobodno izpodbijal oblast.

Kot borec v srednji šoli je gravitiral boksarskemu ringu. Dalo mu je smer. Prav tako je zagotovil temelje za vnovično, spet odnos z očetom, Jamie.

»Preden sem se lotil boksa, moj oče v resnici ni bil veliko vpleten v moje življenje. Prišel bi in odšel, veš, iz osebnih razlogov,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Ko sem začel boksati, res smo se zbližali. Boks in dirke so bile njegove stvari. Vsem in vsem bi povedal, da boksam in kako ponosen je, in to mi je veliko pomenilo. "

Jamie Bezanson ni nikoli imel priložnosti gledati, kako se njegov sin razvija kot borec. Junij 15, 2012, med letnim "kolesarskim tednom" v Laconiji, njegov motocikel je prečkal sredinsko črto in udaril v drugo vozilo.

Starejši Bezanson je podlegel poškodbam. Bil 37.

»Nekaj ​​časa sem ga izgubil. Nehal sem boksati. Mentally, Bil sem ravno na zelo čustvenem mestu,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Potem tik ob moji hiši, Kaze Dojo se je odprl. Rekel sem, "To bi lahko naredil."

Bezanson je začel trenirati v brazilskem Jiu-Jitsuju z Gregom Williamsom. Izkazal se je kot naravni talent, osvojil zlato medaljo v svojem prvencu na Vermont Open.

Nato je prišlo do naravnega napredovanja v MMA, kjer se je njegovo stand-up znanje izkazalo za pretežko, da bi ga Dustin zagovarjal. Bezanson je kletki ukazal z držo in kirurško natančnostjo veterana.

»Sem naokoli precej samozavesten fant. Res nisem bil tako živčen. Zakaj bi me bilo strah, če ste pripravljeni in ste opravili ves ta trening?"Je dejal. »Devetdeset odstotkov spopadov je izgubljenih, še preden sploh prideš v kletko. Če pustite, da čustva pridejo do vas, ne boste nastopili po svojih najboljših močeh. "

Bezanson je na treningu kmalu zatem utrpel katastrofalno poškodbo kolena. Preteklo leto je preživel na okrevanju po operaciji popravljanja raztrganega ACL in meniskusa.

Ko se je vrnil v telovadnico, Bezanson se je večino svojega časa posvetil svoji razvijajoči se igri na tleh. Bang bi ga moral kraljevsko preizkusiti, nekdanji srednješolski rokoborec iz znane deželne borbene družine.

»Presenetljiva je zagotovo ena mojih prednosti. Sem dolgočasen stari, in to poskušam v celoti izkoristiti,"Je rekel Bezanson. »Sem pa na treningu res trdo delal na svoji igri na tleh. V prvi borbi res nisem dobil priložnosti, da bi to pokazal, ampak vem, da bom tokrat. "

Bezanson vidi svoj drugi vstop v kletko kot pravi začetek, za katero upa, da bo plodna kariera.

Poleg številnih oboževalcev, ki se bodo odpravili na štiriurno krožno pot iz Severne države, da ga gledajo, Bezanson ve, da bo imel v svojem kotu ene posebne oči.

»Boks me je naučil veliko discipline. MMA je ista stvar. Ljudje ga lahko uporabljajo, kakor hočejo, ampak to počne zame,"Je dejal. "To je nekaj, kar rad počnem in nekaj, za kar vem, da je moj oče hkrati ponosen."

Odprtje zvonec na Junij 18 je določen za 7 p.m. Trenutni paket vključuje pet profesionalnih boksarskih dvobojev, trije pro MMA dvoboji in osem amaterskih MMA spopadov. Vstopnice za “NEF 24: Obljubljena dežela «začetek ob $25 in so na voljo nawww.TheColisee.com ali s klicem blagajni Colisée na 207.783.2009, podaljšanje 525.

FAMILY AND THE PASSION TO ENTERTAIN DRIVE MMA WELTERWEIGHTS

Pustite komentar

 

Lewiston, Maine (Maj 18, 2016) - On Junij 18, 2016 New England Fights (NEF) will return to Lewiston with the fight promotion’s latest fight card, “NEF 24: OBLJUBLJENA DEŽELA.” A full slate of professional and amateur mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing is planned for the event. Že danes, NEF announced the addition of an amateur MMA welterweight bout to the fight card. Shawn Bang (1-1) will return to take on Mike Bezanson (1-0) pri teži, boj za 170 funtov.

 

Shawn Bang is a member of the famous Bang family of fighters from nearby Auburn, Maine. Along with his father and brothers, Bang je član centralne Maine brazilski Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). It has been nearly three years since he last competed in the NEF MMA cage. Bang has spent the last two years serving as a missionary in accordance with his Mormon faith. Finally back home and reunited with both his natural family and gym family, Bang is ready for his return to the cage.

 

“After two years of amazing missionary service, I cannot begin to express how excited I am to reunite with my CMBJJ brothers,” Said Bang. “I have only spoken with my own family on Christmas and Mother’s Day, and to have the opportunity to rejoin the ‘Bang Clan’ in battle on June 18th is a fitting reunion. Since childhood our father has always told us, ‘The first rule of brothers is to stick together.’ Navsezadnje, it will be me alone in the cage to battle my opponent but it is family, both immediate and extended, that gets me there and beyond.”

 

Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Mike Bezanson debuted in the NEF MMA cage one year ago at “NEF 18.” Early in the fight, it became evident that his opponent that evening, Jeff Dustin (0-1), was outmatched against the Team Kaze product. Although Dustin hung in there for almost two full rounds before the referee stopped the fight, Bezanson put on a striking clinic that left his opponent bloodied. Bezanson took his time and looked like a cat toying with its prey. Some in attendance saw his performance as showboating, while others were impressed by his pinpoint striking. Like it or not, no one could deny that Bezanson provided the entertainment that night.

 

“I received a lot of mixed reviews from my debut fight at NEF,” recalled Bezanson. “Staying true to myself, Jaz sem, ki sem – in and out of the cage. I love to entertain, keep people on their toes. Some might say my style of fighting is cocky and unorthodox, but it’s who I am, what I do – and I’m comfortable fighting that way. It is in no way meant to belittle or disrespect my opponent, it’s merely a technique. I have a great deal of respect for all fighters, trainers and fans. One of the reasons I train to fight is the self discipline. I push myself to be the best I can be and I love to compete! Zmaga ali poraz, I take away whatever I can from the experience to better myself and grow. You know what they say, ‘There’s no losing, you either win or learn.’ I’m excited to get in the cage in June, and put all my hard work to the test! It’s going to be an entertaining show!”

 

NEF se vrne v banko Colisée Androscoggin Bank v Lewistonu, Maine na Junij 18, 2016 s “NEF 24: OBLJUBLJENA DEŽELA.” Vstopnice za NEF 24 se začnejo šele ob $25 in so v prodaji zdaj www.TheColisee.com ali s klicem blagajni Colisée na207.783.2009 x 525.
