Jamie Yager vs. Greg Parker

The 32-year-old Yager of Huntington Beach, Calif. will return to the cage after being sidelined for three years due to injuries.

A lifelong athlete who took up Jiu-Jitsu while attending Pasadena City College, Yager was the middleweight winner of the 2008 MMA competition reality television series, The Iron Ring, that aired on BET.

Yager went on to compete in season 11 sa Ang Ultimate Fighter kamatuoran sunod-sunod nga, scoring a punishing, 26 second KO on Ben Stark with a head kick in the first episode and, later, sa usa ka una nga round (1:09) KINSA (welga) sa Charles Blanchard.

Between March 2009 and April 2011, Parker was perfect as an amateur, sa paghugpong sa usa ka 3-0 nga rekord, before running to four consecutive wins, all by way of (T)KO o pagpasakop, in his first four professional bouts.

Alvarez’s five consecutive victories all came by way of (T)KO o pagpasakop, and all but one of them occurred inside the first round of action.

Ramm of Costa Mesa, Calif. via Bremerton, Hugasan. is a 31-year-old submission expert who recently earned his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu under mentor and famed trainer Eddie Bravo.

GLOVER AND WILLIAMS TO FACE OFF FOR NEF GOLD

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Pebrero 1, 2016) - New England away (Kaha), America ang numero-usa ka regional away promotion, mopahigayon sa iyang mga sunod nga panghitabo, "NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” this Sabado, Pebrero 6, 2016 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. Ryan Glover (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

 

Miaging tuig, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. Karon, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.

 

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, tungod kay, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. Williams, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) sa Auburn, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"Miingon NEF co-tag-iya ug matchmaker Mat Peterson. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, agresibo, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”

 

Bag-ong England away 'sa sunod nga panghitabo, "NEF 21: ANG imortal,” takes place Saturday, Pebrero 6, 2016 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa Lewiston, Maine. Tickets for “NEF 21” start at just $25 ug sa sale karon sa www.TheColisee.com o pinaagi sa pagtawag sa mga Colisée box office sa207.783.2009 x 525.

I can’t guess how these fights will end up. Every single fighter has his advantages. Busa, I think all of these fights are 50-50.”
Emeev (13-3-0, M-1: 7-1-0), ang 2015 M-1 Global Fighter of the Year, is a two-time M-1 Challenge middleweight champion. Born in Azerbaijan but fighting and training out of Markaxhkala, Russia, Emeev originally captured the vacant M-1 Challenge middleweight crown in 2012 sa M-1 Challenge 35, winning a decision over Mario Miranda.

This time we will feature a 4-man tournament, rather than the usual 8-man pairings, because the 4-man version is faster and more entertaining. We don’t want to bore people with long expectation periods and lessen the risk of occasional injuries and fighter changes in the tournament.”
The first M-1 Grand Prix match of 2016 is set in the middleweight division as three-time Bellator champion Alexander “Storm” Shlemenko (51-9-0, M-1: 2-0-0) takes on former M-1 Challenge middleweight and light heavyweight titlist Vyacheslav Vasilevsky (27-3-0, M-1: 10-1-0)sa M-1 Challenge 64, Pebrero 19 sa Olympic Stadium sa Moscow.

Alexander is still under Bellator’s exclusive contract. Busa, we had to negotiate with Bellator, which kindly allowed us to sign with M-1 Global. We expect Alexander Shlemenko to take part in major M-1 Challenge events as they are always organized at a high level and broadly covered by the media.”
