The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. קאַלעב האַלל (6-3) וועט נעמען אויף Erik Nelson (2-2) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title. The championship was vacated earlier this week when previous champion Aaron Lacey (6-1) announced that he would enter the professional ranks atNEF 22.

 

Caleb Hall is a member of the Choi Institute of Portland, מיין. He was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. Hall later wrestled for both Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire and the University of Southern Maine (וסם). He began competing in MMA in September 2012, making his debut atNEF IV.Hall last appeared in the NEF cage this past fall, scoring an impressive first-round submission victory over Matt Tamayo (0-1). He feels that his wrestling experience will carry him to the featherweight title on April 23rd against Nelson.

 

I’m very excited to fight for the belt I have worked for,” said Hall. “My wrestling and constant pressure will be a big problem for Nelson. The scrambles and pressure will fold him and I’ll get the finish.

 

Erik Nelson is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (קמבדזשדזש) located in Lewiston, Maine where he is a jiu-jitsu instructor. אין דעצעמבער, he was awarded his brown belt by head coach Travis Wells. A few weeks later, Nelson would go on to defeat Julio Martinez (0-2) בייַ “נעף 21.” Nelson believes his jiu-jitsu will be the deciding factor when he meets Caleb Hall for the amateur featherweight title on April 23rd.

 

I am very excited for the opportunity to fight for a title in my hometown,” said Nelson. “Caleb is a talented wrestler, but I feel my jiu-jitsu is far superior. No matter where the fight goes, I see my hand being raised at the end.

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 קאַמף קאָרט

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 10, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. Nick Gulliver (2-0) וועט טרעפן דייוו סמיט (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, מיין, as well as the Foundry – אַ בראַזיליאַן דזשיו-דזשיצו (בדזשדזש) academy located in Farmington, מיין. He made his amateur debut last June at “נעף ^ ךן,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) אין דער ערשטער קייַלעכיק. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (וואס) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, דייוו סמיט. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. אַזוי, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, מיין. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (מווהס) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) בייַ “נעף 21” לעצטע חודש.

 

I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.

ANASTASIA YANKOVA WILL MAKE PROMOTIONAL DEBUT AGAINST ANJELA PINK

INFORMATION ON INAUGURAL BELLATOR KICKBOXING EVENT BELOW

Campos” at Pala Alpitour in Torino, Italy on אַפּריל 16.

אויך, Anastasia Yankova (2-0) will make her promotional debut against Anjela Pink in MMA flyweight action and Oktagon competitors Daniele Miceli (2-0) און Daniele Scatizzi (6-2) will round out the MMA card with a featherweight showdown.

"בעללאַטאָר 152: פּיטבולל ווס. Campos” will also include the promotional debut of Italian fan-favorite אַלעססיאָ סאַקאַראַ (17-11), וואס פּנים ברייאַן ראָגערס (12-8) in a light heavyweight matchup and one of MMA’s most promising young prospects, אַ.דזש. מאַקי (3-0), פייץ Danilo Belluardo (5-1) at 145-pounds.

AMATEUR MMA CHAMPION VACATES TITLE TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DEBUT AT NEF 22

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 9, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. אהרן “רילענטליס” לאַסעי (0-0) will make his professional debut against tough veteran “שאַטטערפּראָאָף 2.0” דערעק שאָרי(3-5) בייַ אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 145-פונט.

 

Aaron Lacey leaves behind a legacy of victory in the amateur ranks. He put together an impressive record of 6-1 since his debut in the fall of 2012. Lacey capped off his amateur stint by winning the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Championship last November, handing Caleb Horner (4-1) the first loss of his career in the process. Lacey is currently the number-one ranked amateur featherweight in the northeast. He is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, מיין, און אויף April 23rd Lacey will make his professional debut alongside training partner, and NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, דזשאָש האַרוויי (0-0). Lacey will vacate the amateur featherweight title to enter the professional division. NEF executives are expected to make an announcement on the status of that championship in the very near future.

 

I am super excited to finally be making my pro debut come April,” said Lacey. “This is a goal I have had for a long time and something I have always been working towards. Derek Shorey is a very tough challenge as a debut fight. He has a tremendous skill set and a ton of experience. As far as vacating my belt, I had always viewed capturing the title as the capstone to my amateur career. In the moment, it was an incredible feeling and it is something I will always be proud of. Part of what has made me successful is that I always keep looking forward for my next big challenge and my coaches along with myself believe that those challenges are within the professional ranks.

 

After getting off to a 3-2 start in his professional career, Derek Shorey is looking to bounce back from a three-fight skid. Last September, Shorey scored a career-defining, highlight-reel knockout of Tollison Lewis (0-5), but would go on to taste defeat in his next three matchups. א 1998 Class-C Maine state wrestling champion for Foxcroft Academy, Shorey is the founder and head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club based out of Dexter, מיין. He served his country in the United States Navy for four years of active duty and did a tour of Iraq with SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27. Shorey is hoping to find his rhythm in the cage against Lacey atNEF 22.

 

Aaron is an incredibly tough, resilient fighter,” noted Shorey. “He keeps coming at you, solid technique. Nothing but respect for him and his skills. אַז ווייל האט, I’ve been growing rapidly under new instruction, but have been unable to find my rhythm in the cage. I feel that Aaron will bring his steady, solid pace and be met by my speed and power. I’m excited to welcome him into the professional ranks.

BELLATOR MMA BRINGS FANS CLOSER TO THEIR FAVORITE FIGHTERS WITH NEW VIRTUAL REALITY TECHNOLOGY

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 9, 2016) – Bellator MMA is always looking for new and exciting ways to bring the most forward-thinking technology to its ever-increasing fan-base, providing them with unrivaled access to the world-class promotion and its superstars. During the record-shattering “בעללאַטאָר 149: Shamrock ווס. Gracie” event this past February, Bellator launched a virtual reality initiative, giving fans a new immersive behind-the-scenes experience, from inside and Kimbo Slice’s locker room before their fights to walking down the ramp with the fighters in front of thousands of fans at the Toyota Center in Houston.

 

“We’re continuously looking for new ways to leverage technology to bring our fans into the cage אַזוי צו רעדן,"האט געזאגט Bellator COO Jason Jordan. “We want to make them feel more connected to the sport of MMA, to the fighters themselves and to the underlying storylines that fuel the emotion and passion of the sport. In this sense, we are very excited about the potential that Virtual Reality holds, and this was unequivocally proven in Houston where we captured some groundbreaking and incredibly immersive footage that I’m sure both hardcore and casual fans alike will enjoy. Not only did we break ratings records that night, but we also raised the creative bar with our VR coverage in terms of literally engulfing fans in the energy and excitement that makes MMA like no other sport.”

 

To shoot the VR footage, Bellator used three separate six-camera rigs using GoPro cameras including one that was fully spherical, attached to a stabilized, mobile monopod. This camera was used for capturing fighters as they left their locker rooms and entered the arena. Two rigs were tethered to a monitoring command center, which allowed producers to monitor the cameras from each rig. Bellator also used Kolor’s Autopano software to stitch together the footage from the GoPro rigs and Adobe Premiere and After Effects to edit and apply graphics to the final stitch.

Mixed Martial Arts Legend George St-Pierre To Attend Wizard World Philadelphia June 4-5

Hugely Popular UFC World Champion ‘GSP’ To Greet Fans, Sign Autographs, Pose For Photo Ops In First Wizard World Appearance At Pennsylvania Convention Center

 

GSP_CAASpeakers_photo1-333.jpg

פילאדעלפיע, מאַרץ 8, 2016 – One of the most popular mixed martial arts fighters in the world, Georges St-Pierrewill attend Wizard World Philadelphia on Sunday, יוני 5, at the Pennsylvania Convention Center, it was announced today by the Quebec native and Wizard World, ינק. (OTCBB: WIZD). The three-time former UFC Welterweight champion, known by many as the best “pound-for-pound” MMA athlete ever, will greet fans, sign autographs and pose for photo ops at his first Wizard World comic con appearance.

 

Already a 2nd dan Kyokushin karate black belt at 12, Georges dedicated himself to martial arts and training throughout his teen years. After seeing jiu-jitsu legend Royce Gracie fight in 1993 ביי UFC 1, “Rush” knew exactly what he wanted to do with his life and how he was going to reach those goals: he invested all his energy and all his time at becoming a better version of himself. When he wasn’t training or at school, Georges worked as a doorman in nightclubs, or hung off the back of a garbage truck, hauling in refuse. He discovered a simple truth: never stopping helps reach goals.

 

He grew as a person and as a fighter, adding fighting disciplines such as boxing, ראַנגלערייַ, and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu to his karate background and competed in his first amateur bout at age 16. He won that match, and continued his steady improvement. אין 2006 he became the UFC Welterweight Champion. He lost the title in 2007 but subsequently regained it in front of his hometown fans of Montreal in 2008 and hasn’t lost a single title defense since then.

 

Along his career, St-Pierre, 34, accomplished numerous firsts and awards including: the all-time most consecutive welterweight title defenses, three-time consecutive Canadian Athlete of the Year Awards (’08– ’10) by Rogers Sportsnet, Fighter of the Year Awards ('09) bySports Illustrated , World MMA Awards, MMAPayout, Inside MMA and MMAJunkie, the “Most Dangerous Man of the Year” by the Spike Guys Choice Awards (’10) and the MMA Fighter of the Year Award (’08) by Black Belt Magazine .

St-Pierre is the author of the New York Times bestseller The Way of the Fight. Released in 2013, the book shares the lessons he’s learned on the way to the top. Later that year, St-Pierre officially announced that he had decided to vacate the title and take some time off from MMA, taking a role in the 2014 blockbuster Captain America: Winter Soldier. He has not ruled out a return to the ring in the future. GSP is based in Montreal.

 

St-Pierre, who appeared in joins an amazing lineup of superstar entertainers scheduled to attend the pop culture extravaganza, including “Marvel” movie standouts Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston, David Duchovny (“The X-Files”), the Back to the Futuretrio of Michael J. פוקס, Christopher Lloyd and Lea Thompson andThe Walking Deadstandout Norman Reedus , with many other headliners.

 

Wizard World comic con and gaming events bring together thousands of fans of all ages to celebrate the best in pop-fi, pop culture, סרטים, graphic novels, cosplay, comics, טעלעוויזיע, sci-fi, toys, video gaming, gaming, original art, collectibles, contests and more.

Hannah Sparrell was introduced to the sport when she began taking her daughter to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (בדזשדזש) classes. Sparrell soon found herself training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Brunswick, מיין. She made her in-cage debut last fall against Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-1) בייַ “נעף קסיקס” אין לעוויסטאָן. Sparrell was victorious that evening, scoring a unanimous decision from the judges after an exhausting three-round fight. She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time atNEF 22.

 

I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, אויף April 23rd, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ אַז ווייל האט, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.

 

Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “נעף קסיקס.” In a wild, “fight of the nightperformance, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. אויף April 23rd, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.

 

I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” סטייטיד יונג. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ דאס מאָל, אָבער, my hand will be raised.

טהאַקקערוויללע, גוט. (מאַרץ 4, 2016) – It’s safe to say דאַרריאָן קאָלדוועל (9-0) asserted himself as a legitimate title contender with his victory over דזשאָו וואָראַן (13-5) אין די הויפּט געשעעניש פון “בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwellאויף פרייטאג night in front of a sold-out crowd at WinStar Resort and Casino.

As many expected, the fight quickly made it to the mat, מיט “The Wolftaking down the self-proclaimedBaddest Man on the Planetand initiating a sequence of ground-and-pound offense. After Warren made it back to his feet, the former NC State wrestler suplexed Warren and sunk in a rear-naked chokethat Warren refused to tap toforcing referee Dan Miragliotta to wave off the bout at 3:23 פון קייַלעכיק איינער.

Following the technical submission victory, Caldwell made good use of his time on the microphone with color commentator Jimmy Smith, calling out current bantamweight champion Marcos גאַלוואַאָ, simply saying: “F*ck you [Marcos] גאַלוואַאָ, you’re a p*ssy.That’s nine straight victories for the former NCAA Champion to begin his mixed martial arts career, three wins since making the transition from featherweight to bantamweight. דערווייַל, Warren has now dropped two out of three and will not get a shot at the winner of Galvao and Eduardo דאַנטאַס when they do finally meet.

 

In the co-main event of the evening, פערנאַנדאָ גאָנזאַלעז (25-13) extended his winning streak to five at the expense of גילבערט סמיט (12-5), taking home a split decision win (29-28, 28-29, 29-28). The takedowns were likely the difference on the judges’ סקאָרעקאַרדס, but both fighters had their moments over the course of 15 מינוט. Gonzalez now moves even closer to a shot at the 170-pound title, or a matchup with מיכאל Page, who was originally slated to face “די מעניפעע מאַניאַק” before withdrawing. The future of the division will be much clearer following “בעללאַטאָר 153: קאָרעשקאָוו ווס. Hendersonאַפּריל 22, ווען בענסאָן הענדערסאָן challenges אַנדריי קאָרעשקאָוו for the welterweight belt.

 

יאַמאַוטשי אַרויף (19-3) came into his fight against באַבאַ דזשענקינס (11-2) riding a wave of momentum after three-straight wins, but the Arizona State wrestling standout used his world-class grappling to neutralize the striking and jiu-jitsu prowess of Yamauchi. The 23-year-old Japanese competitor took the back of Jenkins for the duration of round one and nearly secured an arm bar late in the final round, אָבער “The Highlight Kid’seffective grappling was the difference, earning the unanimous decision (29-28, 30-27, 29-27). Jenkins now has won three consecutive fights since his January 2015 אָנווער צו געאָרגי קאַראַכאַניאַן.

During the opening main card contest at “בעללאַטאָר 151: וואָראַן ווס. Caldwell,” סירוואַן קאַקאַי (12-4) dropped his first fight under the Bellator MMA banner to Joe Taimanglo (22-6-1) דורך יונאַנאַמאַס באַשלוס (29-28, 29-28, 29-28). It looked as thoughBaby Joewas going to finish the contest early — sinking in an Anaconda Choke before transitioning to a deep guillotine — butZohanweathered the storm and hung around for the final ten minutes, even creating some bright spots of his own in the third and final round. אין די סוף, די ריכטער’ cage side awarded the Guam-native his third consecutive victory and sent Kakai back to the drawing board.

FIGHTERS HOPE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES IN THE CAGE AT NEF 22

The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. מאַט “קען ליאַלקע” דענינג (2-1) וועט טרעפן דזשאָש “Hook OnHarvey (0-0) בייַ אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 150-פונט.

 

Lewiston’s Matt Denning is coming off the first loss of his professional career this past November against Jon Lemke (5-4). Prior to that defeat, Denning was riding a four-fight win streak, all four of those wins coming by way of submission. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (קמבדזשדזש). Denning acknowledges personal issues have existed in the past between he and Harvey, culminating in a cageside confrontation between the two athletes at the close of “נעף קסוו” in the fall of 2014.

 

I’m honored to have been asked specifically for this fight,” האט דעננינג. “Josh is the 155 ammy champ and is an amazing fighter. I’m excited to watch him continue his career as a pro and move up to the top of the professional rankings. We had some personal issues between the two of us because of a poor decision I made, and I hope with us fighting it will clear the air and I’ll be able to cross train with him and Young’s MMA. We gotta give the fans what they want and this is what they wanted. I look forward to seeing everyone April 23rd.

 

The bout will indeed be the professional debut for Harvey after an amateur career in which he went 5-1. He is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, a title which he will now vacate as a professional. Harvey capped off his amateur stint with a highlight reel knockout over Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-4), a victory that solidified his position as the northeast region’s top-ranked amateur lightweight. Harvey is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, מיין. He recently signed a long-term NEF developmental deal.

 

I’m feeling blessed to be a signed professional cage fighter,” האט האַרוויי. “I’m one step closer to my goal and April 23rd I’ll take another. I’ve wanted a chance to fight ‘Ken Dollever since I met himhe is just one of those guys. I’m thankful for the opportunity.

 

One thing is very clear in this matchup – Josh and Matt don’t like each other,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “There is some deep, pent-up frustration that has been percolating between these two for a long timeand on April 23rd, the cork comes out. It’s going to be spectacular.
