Bogatov (8-0, M-1: 7-0), boreći se iz Rusije, is a grappling master who literally put to sleep three of his last four victims. Bogatov, who has a superior ground attack, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge title last September atM-1 Challenge 97, when he won a five-round decision overRubenilton Pereira.  In his first title defense this past January, Bogatov used an arm triangle choke to submit another Brazilian challengerMichel Silva.

Lebout (19-9-2, M-1: 3-1) is a dangerous challenger from France, who has won three of four M-1 Global fights to date. An all-around fighter, Lebout can adjust to his opponent, whether he needs to use his striking, grappling and tactical skills to win.

Former M-1 Challenge title challengerAndrey “Iron” Lezhnev (18-8, M-1: 6-4) brings his invaluable experience into The Rage to face popularBusurmankul Abdibait Uulu (11-2-1, 3-0-1) u zajedničkom događaju.

Lezhnev, Ukrajine, has won eight of his last 10 borbe, knocked down M-1 Challenge featherweight championNate Landwehr, albeit in a losing effort, in his most recent action.

Brazilian flyweightFlavio “Madruga” de Silva Santos (9-3, M-1: 0-0) makes his M-1 Global debut againstArman Ashimov (10-3-1), of Kazakhstan. Santos is the latest in a wave of Brazilian fighters who’ve found a home in M-1 Global.

Brazilian National Champion and BJJ black beltJean “Panqueka” Petrick (10-3-1, M-1: 2-0) throws-down withBoris “Bora” Polejay (18-6-1, M-1: 2-1-0), of Ukraine. The winner of this bout will likely position himself for a title shot.

Opening the main card is a bantamweight showdown betweenVazha Tsiptauri, Georgian National MMA and kickboxing champion, and Russian prospect Selem Evloev.

American bantamweight“Gorgeous” George Garcia (9-3, M-1: 1-0) took his M-1 Global debut fight on short notice, yet he used his grappling acumen to defeatYuriy Chobuka, by way of a rear naked choke, only 20-seconds into the opening round of their fight last March atM-1 Challenge 101.  The California grappler, who is riding a six-fight win streak, returns on the undercard against notorious finisherBair kući, Rusije.

Also fighting on the undercard is French featherweightAnthony “La Masse” Dizy (12-3, M-1: 1-0) vs. RuskiZalimbek Omarov (10-3-1, M-1: 7-2-1), Ruski velterMikhail “Bulldozer” Doroshenko (3-0, M-1: 0-0) vs. AzerbejdžanBayram Mamedov (0-1 (M-1: 0-0), and a battle between Russian strawweghtsZarina Gumerova (1-1-1, M-1: 0-0) vsAsiya Klyutova (1-1, M-1: 1-0) in a rare female M-1 Global fight.

ZAC RICHARD RETURNS TO NEF CAGE IN LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION AGAINST BRANDON SEWALL

Za immediate release: Orono, Mejn (Srpanj 19, 2019) - New England Borbe (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Ranije danas, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the card. Zac Richard (3-2-1) će zadovoljiti Brandon Sewall (0-1) na borbenoj težini od 155 funti.

Zac Richard has competed twice previously in the lightweight division, winning both fights in 2018. That same year, Richard was voted “Rookie of the Year” by NEF fans. He has yet to taste victory in 2019 with all three of his fights this year thus far taking place in the 145-pound featherweight division. Richard went to a five-round draw with Fred Lear for the amateur featherweight championship last February in what has been a leading contender for “Borba godine” in 2019. On September 7, Richard will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses in his two most recent fights this spring. AtNEF 38,Richard dropped a five-round unanimous decision to Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) prior to losing via first-round submission to Miguel Cuevas (6-1) u lipnju.

“I’m very excited to get back in there after coming off two losses a month apart,” said Richard.  “I’m extremely unhappy with my fight against Tom—I definitely can’t have another off-day on fight day again. I’ve made a lot of changes to make myself happier with my life. The grind is different now.”

“Having watched Zac compete since he was a child during his youth wrestling days, I’ve seen how he navigates challenges,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “He doesn’t look for the easy way out—he’s a born competitor and he always seeks out the toughest opponents. Whether it was in wrestling or now in MMA, he comes to fight. I have no doubt that he will be on the warpath on September 7th, looking to get back to his winning ways.”

Zac Richard has drawn a big one for his return to the lightweight division. Brandon Sewall stands 6’1,towering over most others in the weight class. The resident of Bath, Maine will look for his first win in the NEF cage after losing his debut to Jimmy Jackson (4-3) prošlog mjeseca na “NEF 39.

“It is going to be simplelocate him, get at him, and strike him as hard as I can,” said Sewall when reached for comment.

“Brandon embodies the martial spirit,” izjavio je Peterson. “When I suggested Zac to him as an opponent, he didn’t hesitate at all. He’s eager to prove the validity of his training and disciplined diet in the NEF cage in front of a big audience. Brandon will be the much bigger man in the bout. Whatever the outcome, I know that both guys will be looking to set a furious pace and finish the fight quickly.”

New England Borbe’ sljedeći događaj mješovitih borilačkih vještina, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” will take place Saturday, Rujan 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Mejn.

NEF ANNOUNCES THE FIRST PRO FIGHT SIGNED FOR DEBUT CARD IN ORONO

Za immediate release: Orono, Mejn (Srpanj 11, 2019) - New England Borbe (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Ranije danas, NEF announced the first professional fight signed for the card. The Jamaican ShamrockRasRasquatchHylton (4-2) održat će se na Chris Sarro (0-0) u cruiserweight borbe.

Ras Hylton is coming off a big win last April over Charles Penn (0-1) in Portland, Maine. The doctor stopped that fight in the first round when a cut over Penn’s eye could not be closed. Hylton opened the gash with a straight right hand that left blood pouring down to the mat.

Hylton is a mainstay of the NEF heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. The 6’6athlete holds a second-degree black belt in Shotokan karate. He currently trains with Dragon Fire Martial Arts in Portland and First Class MMA in Brunswick, Mejn.

I am quite fortunate to be at the point in my career when I’m called upon to introduce new professionals to our work experience,” said Hylton.  “Boxers like my opponent offer a great risk with their familiarity in the pocket and at distance, so of course we’ll both be more than happy to trade our best shots for the win! I love the arts, but it’s in the fighting aspects of martial arts that competitors like us truly live and find purpose. So we train like our lives depend on it, because to us, that’s how it is. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, Chris. MMA 101 is now in session.

As noted by Hylton, his opponent Chris Sarro may be a newcomer to the MMA cage, but he is no stranger to the world of combat sports. Sarro made a name for himself as an amateur boxer with a record of 7-1. He captured the 2019 Northern New England Golden Gloves championship in the superheavyweight division. A native of Ellsworth, Mejn, Sarro currently represents Acadia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I’m just excited to fight close to home,” said Sarro.  “Orono feels like my backyard. Come September 7th, I’m going to show the world there’s a new heavyweight in town. This is my time.”

New England Borbe’ sljedeći događaj mješovitih borilačkih vještina, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” will take place Saturday, Rujan 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Maine.

CORAPI OUT, ZAKLON U PROTIV ERICKSONA; BORITE SE SADA ZA LAKI NASLOV NA NEF-u 39

Za immediate release: Lewiston, Mejn (Lipanj 4, 2019) - New England Borbe (NEF) vraća se u subotu u Androseggin Bank Colisee, Lipanj 22 sa svojim sljedećim događajem mješovitih borilačkih vještina, “NEF 39: SVE AMERIČKI.” Ranije danas, promocija borbe je to objavila Jesse “VikingErickson (9-7) će zadovoljiti Dylan Lockard (5-1) za upražnjeno NEF profesionalno prvenstvo u lakoj kategoriji. Bivši prvak Ryan Sanders (18-9) odlučio je iseliti naslov krajem prošle godine zbog ekstremnih rezova težine koje je morao podnijeti da bi napravio laganu granicu 155 funti.

Bout, prvotno planirano da bude nenaslovna veza između Ericksona i Lewisa Corapija (8-5), nastao nakon što se Corapi morao povući zbog bolesti.

“Jesse Erickson višegodišnji je kandidat od početka NEF-ovog naslova u lakoj kategoriji,” izjavio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson. “U 22 sukobi između njegove amaterske i profesionalne karijere, moraš se vratiti sve do njegove prve borbe u 2012 kako bi pronašli jedan put da se Erickson ikad potukao, otišli do sudačkih bodova. Uvijek se natječe sa žestinom koja ga vodi do osiguranja cilja, ili biti gotov. Čista je vatra svaki put kad se popne u kavez. Dylan Lockard, na isti način, je samo jednom izgubio između amaterskih i profesionalnih izleta i trenutno je jedan od najzanimljivijih izgleda u Novoj Engleskoj. Kao amater, Lockard je pobijedio i Josha Harveyja i Caleba Halla - dvije NEF-ove spojnice koje su neporažene i izgledaju nezaustavljivo otkako su postali profesionalni. Ne biste mogli tražiti savršeniju borbu između dvoje iskusnih, gladni sportaši za popunjavanje toliko željenog naslova u lakoj kategoriji.”

Erickson je već tri puta pokušao osvojiti lagani pojas, dva puta protiv Brucea Boyingtona (17-11) i jednom protiv trenutnog UFC-ovog konkurenta Devina Powella (9-4), samo da bi u svakoj borbi izostao. Erickson kaže da će biti strpljiv u ovoj borbi u nadi da će osvojiti naslov koji mu je do danas izmicao.

"Prvi, Želim zahvaliti Dylanu što je istupio i prihvatio borbu,” primijetio je Erickson. “Djeluje dobro zaokruženo i ima pobjede nad nekim kvalitetnim protivnicima. Naporno radim svaki dan i ući ću u kavez u najboljoj formi u kojoj sam ikad bio. Neću žuriti u kavezu 22. lipnja. Imam pet rundi da ga sklonim i napokon izađem s tim pojasom. Pobjeda ili Valhalla, četvrti put je čar. "

Lockard će definitivno ući na neprijateljski teritorij sa stotinama Ericksonovih prijatelja iz rodnog grada, obitelj i obožavatelje u gomili. Borba će se odvijati deset kilograma teže od ograničenja u perolakoj kategoriji na kojem se Lockard obično natječe.

Sve o pozadini Lockarda, međutim, ukazuje na to da ustaje kako bi se suočio s bilo kojim izazovom. U 2010 osvojio je državno prvenstvo u 152 hrvanje kilograma za regionalnu srednju školu Timberlane u Plaistowu, New Hampshire, završivši seniorsku sezonu s impresivnim 38-9 snimiti. Svoju amatersku MMA karijeru započeo je godine 2014 i otišao savršen 4-0, porazivši neke od najboljih koje regija može ponuditi, uključujući Harveyja i Halla. Lockard je postao profesionalac u ljeto 2016. Njegov jedini gubitak do danas bio je protiv vrlo žilavog Shanea Manleyja (5-5), koga će dugogodišnji navijači NEF-a pamtiti kao sportaša koji je uručio i Jesseja Ericksona i Raya Wooda (8-5) prvi gubici njihove MMA karijere. Lockard je trenutno u nizu od dvije borbe od poraza od Manleyja, nedavno preokrenuti prethodno neporaženi Anthony Wright (4-1) na borbenoj kartici na Rhode Islandu prošle jeseni.

“Uzbuđen sam što ću doći u Maine i boriti se za NEF naslov,” rekao je Lockard kad je posegnuo za komentarom.  “Jesse je doista težak protivnik, i mislim da se dobro podudaramo. Bit će to uzbudljiva borba za navijače. "

“NEF 39: SVE AMERIČKI,” održat će se u subotu, Lipanj 22, 2019 na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Maine s vremenom zvona od 7 pm. Ulaznice su na prodaju sada www.TheColisee.com.

SECOND WOMEN’S BOUT ADDED TO NEF 39 BORBA CARD

Za immediate release: Lewiston, Mejn (Svibanj 29, 2019) - New England Borbe (NEF) vraća se u subotu u Androseggin Bank Colisee, Lipanj 22 sa svojim sljedećim događajem mješovitih borilačkih vještina, “NEF 39: SVE AMERIČKI.” Ranije danas, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bantamweight bout to the card. Megan Rosado je na rasporedu u lice Sarai Knapp u borbi težine od 135 funti.

Megan Rosado is currently an even 1-1 since debuting in the NEF cage late last year. She took on Glory Watson atNEF 36in September and went the distance in a back-and-forth, thrilling contest. Watson was able to pull out a split decision on the judgesscorecards to take the victory. Rosado returned last month atNEF 38in Portland, Maine to face Amanda Bennett (0-2).  Opet, the fight went to the judges’ bodovima, but this time it was Rosado walking out of the cage with the win. She represents Nate Libby’s Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Mejn.

“I’m super excited to step back into the cage for my third amateur fight,” rekao je Rosado. “It’s safe to say that I’m addicted to the whole fight experience! I may not have a squeaky clean undefeated record, but getting a taste of a loss and a win is what makes you more dangerous, po mom mišljenju. Ne znam ništa o mom protivniku, but that doesn’t even begin to scare me. Im’ma bring it, and I’m going to win on June 22. Nemoj propustiti!"
