Lewiston, Maine (Februar 11, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vender tilbage til Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine den April 11, 2015 med sit syttende blandede martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed. Kampkortet, rammende titlen “NEF XVII,” vil funktionen et højt fagligt weltervægt konkurrence mellem Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-1) og Dennis Olson (12-7).
“Det er den form for kamp, vi elsker at gøre i NEF,” sagde NEF medejer og matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Det er to spændende krigere, der kommer med 100% each and every time they step into that cage. Neither of them could have a boring fight if they tried. Begge disse atleter bringe en sjælden intensitet for deres efteruddannelse regimer og kampstile. Når vi ser tilbage i slutningen af 2015, Jeg forventer, at denne kamp for at være i diskussionen om "Fight of the Year".”
Lawton, en brasiliansk Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) sort bælte ud af Augusta, Maine, recently signed a long-term promotional contract with NEF. He has been a regular in the NEF cage for three years, four of five of his professional bouts having been for the promotion. Lawton’s sole loss came to Darrius Heyliger (5-2) when the cage-side physician stopped the bout due to a cut. He had been beating Heyliger soundly up until that point.
Lawton ville fortsætte med at vinde sin næste tre i træk, becoming known for his late fight finishes of opponents. He currently owns and operates Team Lawton Martial Arts – en Team New England (NEW) affiliate baseret i Farmingdale, Maine. With the Androscoggin Bank Colisee being just down the road from his base of operations, Lawton føler, at han vil have den hjem felt fordel i forhold Olson i deres April 11 ende.
“Jeg håber, at fans er så begejstrede som jeg om mig at komme tilbage i buret,” Said Lawton. “I plan to make this a breakout year for myself and Team Lawton-NEU. I am ready to take this step up in competition against Olson. We are both very durable and I am expecting fireworks for this fight, men NEF er mit hjem – this guy is coming to my home, mine fans’ hjem. When we step in that cage, det vil være mere end mig i buret – it will be an entire arena against him. All my preparation will be thanks to my training partners, trænere, studerende og min kone og søn, og NEF for alle de muligheder, de har givet mig.”
Dennis Olson er en af de mest respekterede, og frygtet, athletes in the history of the New England MMA scene. He is a product of John Fain’s Team Triumph in Nashua, NH, og var, på én gang, the kingpin of the region’s welterweight division. Olson is a two-fight veteran of the Bellator cage and has spent over a decade competing in MMA. His list of opponents reads like a “hvem er hvem” af New England welterweights årenes løb, herunder en bemærkelsesværdig sejr over UFC veteran og Dolce Diet navnebror Mike Dolce (4-9). Olson vil utvivlsomt se at hævne tidligere tab af sin Triumph holdkammerater John Ortolani (7-9) og Cody Anderson (1-2) i hænderne på Lawton.
“April 11, 2015, Jeg kravler ind i buret for 22. gang, Lawton for sjette,” sagde Olson. “Jeg respekterer alle mine modstandere’ ability to throw a punch or snag a choke. Men, with the level of competition that I have seen leads me to believe that there is nothing Lawton can use to surprise me or catch me off guard. Knowing this information leaves me with only one option. I have to take advantage of absolutely every second I have in order to prepare myself to prove that information as fact. I am going to do my best to take every ounce of heart and soul from you. I’m going to make you want to give up, give dig lyst til at dø. I’m going to do my best to dismantle you piece by piece. To prove to you and I and everyone else that I am your alpha. Jeg er over dig, du kan ikke og vil ikke besejre mig.”
