NEF CAGES THE CAPE ON MAY 14 WITH THRILLING FIGHT CARD

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Ka 6, 2016) – It will be no day at the beach, but they might just leave some blood on the sand. New England ho loana ka (NEF) plans to storm Cape Cod on Moqebelo, Ka 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,” a re NEF sebedisana mong'a le a ntsetsa pele 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.

 

Ka 'Nete, 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 MassachusettsSouth Shore. Hyannis-based Team Juniko will be prominently featured in no less than six of the evening’s bouts.

 

BrendanLock DownBattles (0-0) of Juniko is scheduled to make his professional MMA debut in the heavyweight main event, locking horns with Mike “The Mustache” 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. O ile a e ne e 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 fromNEF 15” ka November 2014. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-6) will look to avenge a loss to Mat “Ken Doll” 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,” o ile a re 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,” o ile a re NEF sebedisana mong'a le 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 ella elle la “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) ho qetela November. 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 Young (1-1) e ho lokiselitsoe ho tobana le Kylie O’Hearn (0-0). Young is coming off a big win just two weeks ago against Hannah Sparrell (1-1) ka “NEF 22” a Lewiston.

Motsoalle oa Young 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 atNEF 22.Not one to let a good fight camp go to waste, Johanson agreed to take the fight with Forlenza in Hyannis.

MAIN EVENT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF MMA DEBUT ON CAPE COD

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Ka 3, 2016) - New England ho loana ka (NEF) Amerika oa nomoro ya-e mong o lebatowa ntoa ntshetsopele, tla ahlola hlahlamang ketsahalo, "NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE” on Moqebelo, Ka 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth and Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Pele ho moo kajeno, 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 ‘Tfrom Fenway to Wonderland on August 6th, 2005 to make my debut against Eric Brown who I beat by rear naked choke at 1:27 a ga tikologo ya ntlha. 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, o ile a 's e ntle ntoa se. If he can’t, it is because I didn’t want him to. Ka la 14go th, we will have a fight my friend!"

CROWSNECK Boutin: “Kamehla ho Fun ho kokota batho ba”

Lewiston, Maine (August 17, 2015) - New England ho loana ka (NEF), Amerika oa nomoro ya-e mong o lebatowa ntoa ntshetsopele, tla ahlola eona ea leshome le metso e robong e tsoakiloeng-sesole-bonono (MMA) ketsahalo, “NEF XIX: HOMECOMING,” ka moqebelo, September 12, 2015 a le Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. Featured on the professional portion of the card will be a light-heavyweight matchup between Crowsneck Boutin (1-0) le Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (2-2). Both men are competing under NEF developmental deals.

 

Recently, Boutin was NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson’s guest on the NEF Podcast. Boutin discussed, har'a tse ling dihlooho tse, hōla a Lubec, Maine, e tlang gia le 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, nakoana pele Boutin o ile a tsenwe qalo kwa “NEF III.”

 

“Ke ile ka Hanging out le tse seng kae buddies ba ile tickets ya (NEF) pele ketsahalo, e le ke ile ka ea hore le e ne e le khōlō ka ho fetisisa ntho,” 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. Hape, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.

 

Le ha koetlisoang, Boutin would lose his first bout. Nakoana ka mor'a moo, Peterson beha Boutin a kopana le mokoetlisi Jon Pinette ya Choi Institute in Portland, Maine. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, ka nako e tšoanang, forging ba le metsoalle ea le dikamano ka teammates.

 

“Ke le ntle hlollang sepakapakeng,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “Ke e-s'o o ile a lula sebakeng se seng ka e telele haholo bophelo bohle ba ka, 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, Ke ile ka ho nahana ka ena pele ho moo, empa o ne a sebele memela… Mong le e mong mona o 'nile a sebele memela, 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 entse qeto ho retelehela litsebi pele ho moo selemong sena ka mor'a hore competed a ka kakaretso ho 13 tsenwe lintoa. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. In doing so, Boutin ile ka tekanyo e itseng ho iphetetsa joalokaha ho e ne e bile Cowette ea protégé Brent Dillingham (1-1) ba neng ba nehelana ka Boutin la hae la pele lahleheloa ke a Boutin ea tsenwe qalo kwa “NEF III.” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, empa morago ga loana le phapanyetsano pakeng tsa Boutin le Dillingham kwa “NEF III” a 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.

 

“Ho ea fihla Brent Dillingham o tsoela, a 's motho e Ke kopa sebele rata ho loana haufinyane kwa 205 haeba a ka fumana a sebopeho le kopana le 'na ho na le,” Boutin declared. “Ke kopa rata ho ba le hore loana ka nako e itseng haufinyane.”

 

Boutin tla ba le mosebetsi oa hae etsetsoa ka eena ka Hansen ka September 12 a Lewiston. Hansen is an accomplished wrestler, kaha hlōla le boemo 'mampoli bakeng sa Mountain Valley High School a Rumford, Maine in 2004. Boutin, leha ho le joalo, o kholisehile a hae bokhoni ba ka bobeli eme 'me ka khoa mat.

 

“Ke ikutloa ke loketse ho kae kapa kae moo ntoeng ea ho loanela o tsoela,” o ile a re Boutin. “Haeba ho lulang a ka maoto, qetellong tse fetang tse tharo garela, I’m gonna try to knock him out. It’s always fun to knock people out. If it goes to the ground, Ke tla hlōla moo.”
