NEF CAGES THE CAPE ON MAY 14 WITH THRILLING FIGHT CARD

Cia ib saib

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Tej zaum 6, 2016) – It will be no day at the beach, but they might just leave some blood on the sand. Tshiab England Fights (NEF) plans to storm Cape Cod on Saturday, Tej zaum 14, 2016 with the first-ever mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event to be held on the popular tourist destination. The northeast’s top regional fight promotion will pack up its cage in one week and make the 200-mile trek south from NEF’s base of operations in Lewiston, Maine to the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC).

 

The attention the event has received has been staggering. “The Cape Cod community has welcomed us with open arms,” hais tias NEF co-tswv tsev thiab pab txhawb Nick DiSalvo. “The HYCC is a great venue with an awesome staff. Patti Lloyd at the Cape Cod Chamber of Commerce has been a huge help in making this event happen as well. And we have some fantastic new sponsors on the Cape like Bodystrong Fitness who have helped us spread the word.”

 

Tseeb, the word has spread and ticket sales have been so strong, and demand so overwhelming, that the promotion had to order more chairs and tickets when cageside inventory sold out last week. “The fans were asking us to add some more cageside seats, so we happily accommodated them,” noted DiSalvo.

 

And fight fans in attendance will be treated to a night filled with wild cage action. The card is stacked with world class wrestlers and martial artists from Maine, Cape Cod and Massachusetts’ South Shore. Hyannis-based Team Juniko will be prominently featured in no less than six of the evening’s bouts.

 

Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) of Juniko is scheduled to make his professional MMA debut in the heavyweight main event, locking horns with Mike “Lub hwj txwv” Hansen (4-3). Battles was a three-time All American wrestler out of nearby Nauset Regional High School where he won two state championships and three New England championships. Nws yog 2-0 as an amateur MMA fighter. Hansen has a wrestling pedigree of his own, having captured a state title for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Hansen is a ten-year-plus veteran of the MMA cage.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature a rematch from “NEF 15” nyob rau hauv Kaum ib hlis 2014. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-6) will look to avenge a loss to Matt “Ken menyuam roj hmab” Denning (2-2). Shorey’s supporters have claimed for the past year-and-a-half that Denning’s submission victory was a fluke and that Denning would not be able to defeat Shorey a second time should the pair ever meet again. Those claims will be put to the test in Hyannis in this lightweight rematch.

 

“It was a short notice fight that NEF asked for, and I know Derek wanted a rematch,” hais tias Denning. “After I beat him again, I’ll prove it wasn’t a fluke. I wanted this fight so I could get some new fans in Massachusetts and show my skills. I have had two losses in a row to great guys and want to get back in the win column.”

 

“I thought I could beat him the first time, and he caught me with an armbar,” Shorey admitted. “This time I will leave that cage the victor.”

 

“It’s one of those fights we always get asked whether there will be a rematch,” hais NEF co-tswv thiab matchmaker Matt Peterson. “This will finally prove, once and for all, whether Matt Denning got lucky coming up with that armbar that night. Whatever you do, don’t blink! These two guys are finishers. Whatever the outcome, it’s not going to the judges. Someone’s getting knocked out or submitted in this one.”

 

In another pro fight, longtime NEF mainstay Crowsneck Boutin (1-2) will take on another promotion regular in the form of Ruben Redman (0-0). The bout will be Redman’s professional debut after six amateur fights with NEF in Maine. Boutin is a prolific striker based out of the Choi Institute in Portland. The fight will take place at the middleweight limit of 185-pounds.

 

The amateur headliner will see Dustin Veinott (4-4) in a flyweight showdown with Ryan “Razzle Dazzle” Kane (4-3). Veinott is the former NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. He dropped the title in a very close split decision loss to Ryan Burgess (2-0) kawg Kaum ib hlis. Kane, from Plymouth, Massachusetts, is a member of Team Juniko and an accomplished competitor in the ancient Greek martial art of Pankration.

 

A women’s fight will be prominently featured on the amateur card. Angela Hluas (1-1) yog teem rau lub ntsej muag Kylie O’Hearn (0-0). Young is coming off a big win just two weeks ago against Hannah Sparrell (1-1) ntawm “NEF 22” nyob rau hauv Lewiston. O’Hearn, another product of Plymouth, Massachusetts and Team Juniko, will be making her amateur MMA debut. The fight will take place at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

Young’s teammate Victor Irwin (1-0) will make the five-hour road trip along with her from Bangor, Maine to compete in Hyannis. Irwin will square off with newcomer Tracey Schryba (0-0) in the amateur light-heavyweight division.

 

Brewster’s Ed Forlenza (0-0) makes his amateur debut against Frank Johanson (0-1) in a 160-pound catchweight bout. Forlenza is a 2004 graduate of Nauset Regional High School where he was a standout on the wrestling team. Johanson’s opponent pulled out of their bout on fight day two weeks ago at “NEF 22.” Not one to let a good fight camp go to waste, Johanson agreed to take the fight with Forlenza in Hyannis.

 

In another 160-pound catchweight bout, Steve Bang (3-4) yuav siv sij hawm nyob rau hauv Fabian Miranda (2-0). Bang is a member of the famous father-sons fighting family of Auburn, Maine. Miranda represents Team Juniko and will look to add to his undefeated record in the fight with Bang.

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF MMA DEBUT ON CAPE COD

Nyuam qhuav pib hnub no, NEF announced the main event of the fight card. Brendan “Lock Down” Battles (0-0) has signed to face Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (4-3) in a professional bout at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Brendan Battles is a native of Eastham, Massachusetts on Cape Cod. There, he was a three-time All American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. During his high school career, Battles captured a total of two state championships and three New England championships with an amazing 161 wins to his credit prior to graduating in 2012. A multi-sport athlete, he later played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut. Battles made his NEF debut earlier this year at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” when he efficiently dispatched of Mike Hansen’s Berserkers teammate, Dave Smith (2-2) in the first round via TKO ref stoppage. Battles trains out of Gracie Fitness and is a member of Team Juniko based out of Hyannis.

 

“I look forward to Mike coming down to my backyard for my first professional fight,” said Battles. “I know he is a tough fighter, but I look forward to showcasing the skills I have acquired thus far as I continue my journey to become a well-rounded MMA fighter.”

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He won a Maine state championship in wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. Hansen has become known for taking tough fights against opponents that he is generally undersized next to. Less than two weeks ago, he defeated former top-tanked amateur light heavyweight Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-2) via first round submission at “NEF 22: ALL ROADS LEAD HERE.” Always up for a challenge, Hansen requested the opportunity to face Battles in his highly anticipated professional debut.

 

“I like this fight because I get to fight in Massachusetts again,” stated Hansen. “I made my pro debut at Club Lido at the ‘Wonderland’ Blue Line stop just over a decade ago. I rode the ‘T’ from Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 nyob rau hauv thawj puag ncig. Jumping up two weight classes sucks, but I’ve competed at this weight many times. Battles is a very accomplished athlete with a stacked resume. With only three minutes of cage time, I think it’s time Battles was in the cage with someone ready to fight. I will gladly welcome Battles to the professional ranks and see how he stacks up. I’m going to stand right in front of him and make him beat me up and, if he can, nws yog ib tug zoo fighter. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. On May 14th, we will have a fight my friend!"

CROWSNECK Boutin: “NWS YOG IB LOM ZEM khob NEEG TAWM”

Cia ib saib

Lewiston, Maine (Lub yim hli ntuj 17, 2015) - Tshiab England Fights (NEF), America lub xov tooj-ib regional sib ntaus qib, yuav tuav nws puas tawm mixed martial--kawm (MMA) kev tshwm sim, “NEF XIX: Homecoming,” nyob rau hnub Saturday, Cuaj hlis 12, 2015 nyob rau Androscoggin txhab nyiaj Colisée nyob rau hauv Lewiston, Maine. Featured on the professional portion of the card will be a light-heavyweight matchup between Crowsneck Boutin (1-0) thiab Mike “Lub hwj txwv” Hansen (2-2). Both men are competing under NEF developmental deals.

 

Tsis ntev los no, Boutin was NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson’s guest on the NEF Podcast. Boutin discussed, cov lwm yam ntsiab lus, loj hlob nyob rau hauv Lubec, Maine, yavtom ntej bout nrog Hansen, and his recent signing to a multi-fight NEF development deal. Boutin and Peterson touched on their first meeting some three-and-a-half years ago, ua ntej Boutin ua nws pib xyaum ua debut ntawm “NEF III.”

 

“Kuv twb dai tawm nrog ib tug ob peb buddies uas tau txais daim pib mus rau koj (NEF) thawj kev tshwm sim, ces kuv txawm mus ntawd thiab nws yog tus loj tshaj plaws,” recalled Boutin. “I remember talking with people and then contacting you. I really wasn’t doing anything at that time. I was feeling kind of lost. I was kind of clinging to the feeling of want. I just wanted to do something. Ntau, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.”

 

Nrog tsis tau kawm, Boutin would lose his first bout. Tsis ntev tom qab ntawd, Peterson muab Boutin nyob rau hauv kev sib cuag nrog kev ntaus kis las Jon Pinette ntawm lub Choi koom haum nyob hauv Portland, Maine. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, nyob rau tib lub sij hawm, forging muaj zog phooj ywg thiab kev sib raug zoo nrog cov hauv pawg football.

 

“Nws yog ib tug zoo nkauj txaus cua,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “Kuv twb yeej tsis nyob nyob rau hauv ib qhov chaw ntev heev tag nrho kuv lub neej, except for this place. I don’t see myself leaving. It’s a great atmosphere over here. I called Jon. I remember being really nervous to call Jon, Kuv twb xav txog qhov no ua ntej lawm, tab sis twb yog nws caw… Txhua leej txhua tus no twb tau tiag tiag caw, really supporting. There’s a really good mix of people here. We have young to old. We have everything in between. It’s a very accepting place to be. It’s a great place to train. Everyone gets along inside and outside the gym.”

 

Boutin txiav txim siab los tig kev dhau lub xyoo no tom qab uas tau sib nyob rau hauv ib tug tag nrho ntawm 13 pib xyaum ua fights. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. In doing so, Boutin tau ib qho kev ntsuas ntawm cov kua zaub ntsuab li nws twb tau Cowette lub protégé Brent Dillingham (1-1) uas tau muab Boutin nws thawj tsis nyob rau hauv pib xyaum ua Boutin tus debut ntawm “NEF III.” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, tab sis lub post-sib ntaus sib pauv ntawm Boutin thiab Dillingham ntawm “NEF III” nyob rau hauv 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.

 

“Raws li deb raws li Brent Dillingham mus, nws yog leej twg kuv yuav yeej nyiam sib ntaus sib tua tsis ntev tom 205 yog hais tias nws yuav tau txais nyob rau hauv lub cev thiab tau raws li kuv muaj,” Boutin declared. “Kuv yuav hlub kom muaj kev sib ntaus uas tej tsam sai sai.”

 

Boutin yuav muaj nws ua hauj lwm txiav tawm rau nws nrog Hansen nyob Cuaj hlis 12 nyob rau hauv Lewiston. Hansen is an accomplished wrestler, muaj yeej ib lub xeev championship rau Roob Valley High School nyob rau hauv Rumford, Maine in 2004. Boutin, Txawm li cas los, yog ntseeg nyob rau hauv nws tus kheej muaj peev xwm tag nrho ob qho sawv thiab nyob rau hauv lev.

 

“Kuv xav tias npaj txhij rau txhua qhov chaw uas sib ntaus mus,” hais tias Boutin. “Yog hais tias nws nyob qis qis rau hauv ko taw, nws thiaj li tshaj peb rounds, I’m gonna try to knock him out. It’s always fun to knock people out. If it goes to the ground, Kuv mam li yeej muaj.”
