LIGHTWEIGHT PROSPECT LOOKS TO REBOUND AGAINST PURPLE BELT

Zanechat komentář

Portland, Maine (Září 27, 2018) - New England utkání (NEF) bude držet své závěrečné smíšené-bojových umění události 2018, “NEF 36: Bitva o zlato,” v sobotu, Listopad 17 na Aura v Portlandu, Maine. Dneska, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card. Mohammad Al Kinani (4-1) je naplánováno na tvář Jamie Sprague (0-0) na boj hmotnosti 155 liber.

 

 

 

Mohammad Al Kinani will look to rebound from the first loss of his amateur career against Ramano Medina (5-0) last summer in New Hampshire. Prior to that time, Al Kinani had won the first four fights of his career, the most recent three emphatically by first-round knockout. He is a perfect 2-0 v NEF kleci. Al Kinani is a member of Evolution Athletix, a team housed in a brand new, state-of-the-art training facility opened earlier this year just off Route 1 in Saco, Maine.

 

 

 

“Jamie is definitely dangerous, but I always go in there knowing my opponent is dangerous,” Al Kinani stated. “I’d like to think I am too. More than ever. I’m feeling extremely sharp and I know I can bring in all the heat to that cage. Sprague has been training for a long time under one of the best schools in the area and probably thinks I’m an easy win, but I have been training and putting in more work than ever with the best of the best to come back from a first recent loss. He will understand the pressure of being locked up in there with me. I’m ready to shock everyone November 17th.”

 

 

 

Despite his lack of cage competition experience, Jamie Sprague is no newcomer to the combat sports world. As Al Kinani indicated, Sprague has trained for some time in the martial arts. He holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a member of Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire under current UFC competitor, and former NEF Pro Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (9-3).

 

 

 

“Mo’s a tough guy,” said Sprague, “no doubt about that. But with all due respect, I want to make a statement. I want his neck.”

 

 

 

Nef příští událost smíšených bojových umění, “NEF 36: Bitva o zlato,” uvidí společnost dělat jeho návrat k Aura v Portlandu, Maine. Událost se bude konat sobotu, Listopad 17, 2018 s dobou zvonu z 7 odpoledne. Vstupenky jsou již v prodeji v www.AuraMaine.com.

LFA TO HOST A GOOD OLD-FASHIONED SHOWDOWN DEEP IN THE HEART OF TEXAS

LFA 52 – RODRIGUEZ vs. GUTIERREZ
MAIN EVENT:
“THE JUDGE”
RAY RODRIGUEZ
proti.
“EL GUAPO”
CHRIS GUTIERREZ
Bantamové SHOWDOWN
Pátek, OCTOBER 19th LIVE on AXS TV
BELL COUNTY EXPO CENTER
v BELTON, TEXAS
Tickets are on sale NOW through LFATIX.com

 

LAS VEGAS, Nevada – LFA CEO Ed Soares announced today that the promotion will head deep in the heart of Texas in October with a high-stakes bantamweight showdown at the top of LFA 52.

 

 

 

Hlavní událostí LFA 52 will feature a good old-fashioned showdown between Texas natives and top LFA bantamweights Ray “The Judge” Rodriguez and Chris “El Guapo” Gutierrez. LFA 52 – Rodriguez vs. Gutierrez takes place Friday, October 19th at the Bell County Expo Center in Belton, Texas. Celá hlavní karta bude vysílán živě a na celostátní úrovni AXS televizi na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT.

 

 

 

 

“I am excited to bring LFA to the Centroplex of Texas at LFA 52,” Stanovené Soares. “Ray Rodriguez and Chris Gutierrez are two of the top prospects in Texas and they both looked great in their LFA debuts. Now they have the chance to gain Texas bragging rights, while establishing divisional dominance. They will face each other in the main event of LFA 52 at the Bell County Expo Center on Friday, October 19th.”

 

 

 

Tickets for LFA 52 – Rodriguez vs. Gutierrez are available for purchase NOW at LFATIX.com

 

 

 

Rodriguez (13-4) is a San Antonio native that is arguably one of the most accomplished fighters to hail from Alamo City. Over the past three years, he has defeated eight consecutive opponents, but ironically the man known as “The Judge” only let those eight fights go to the judge’s scorecards twice during the streak. Rodriguez now has his sights set on winning gold on a global stage. In order to jump into the title picture in a stacked LFA bantamweight division, the talented Texan is looking to make an example of an intrastate rival in the biggest MMA event to hit Central Texas this year. Judgement Day for “The Judge” comes Friday, October 19th at LFA 52.

 

 

 

Guiterrez (11-2-1) is perhaps the only Texan to experience a similar level of success as Rodriguez within the ultra-competitive LFA bantamweight division. Both men picked up marquee wins over top-tier Brazilian opposition in their promotional debuts. The wins took place 6 months apart from each other and chatter within the “Lone Star State” reached a fever pitch about a possible clash between the state’s two bantamweight kingpins. “El Guapo” expects to be rewarded handsomely with a second straight win over an LFA main event victor. Gutierrez, a Greenville native, will meet the surging San Antonian in an epic I-35 showdown in Belton, Texas.

 

 

 

Hlavní Card (Vysílán na TV AXS na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT):

 

 

Main Event | Bantamweight Bout (135 lb)

– Ray Rodriguez (13-4) proti. Chris Gutierrez (11-2-1)

 

Co-Main Event | Flyweight Bout (125 lb)

– Jonathan Martinez (9-1) proti. Cee Jay Hamilton (13-6)

– Cameron Graves (7-2) proti. Peter Stanonik (5-4)

 

 

 

 

LFA 52 will be the first LFA event to take place in the Centroplex of Texas. It will also be the thirteenth time that LFA has traveled to “The Lone Star State” Texasu. Celá hlavní karta LFA 52 bude vysílán živě a celostátní na AXS televizi na 9 p.m. A / 6 p.m. PT.

Lehká koruna M-1 Challenge je neobsazená, protože poslední mistr, Damir Ismagulov, nedávno se vzdal svého titulu k podpisu smlouvy UFC.

 

 

 

Hruška (20-5-0, M-1: 4-2-0) vyhrál jeho poslední čtyři zápasy, včetně technického knockoutu v jeho poslední akci, také na M-1 Challenge 94 loni v červnu, když Oktom Baktybek Po úvodním kole nebylo možné pokračovat v boji. Pereira má dvě globální ztráty M-1 za pár šampionů M-1 Challenge, Ismagulov a Alexander Butenko, oba rozhodnutím.

 

 

 

Pereira nedávno vstoupila do The Rage, aby zodpověděla několik zajímavých otázek:

 

Jak se cítíte o tomto titulu zastřelil a nedostal odvetu proti?

 

 

 

Rp: "Jsem velmi vděčný za příležitost bojovat o titul.". Pracoval jsem tvrdě, abych získal svůj titulní snímek a, samozřejmě, Doufal jsem, že se mi podaří znovu zápasit se šampionem, Damir Ismagulov. Překvapilo mě, když mi řekli, že Ismagulov nechal pás prázdný, aby podepsal UFC. Jsem pro něj šťastná. Je to skvělý bojovník a vím, že se může stát mistrem UFC, také".

 

Jak se cítíte o boji v M-1 Global?

 

 

 

Rp: "Baví mě boje v M-1 Global a rád bych tady zůstal po dlouhou dobu.". Chovali se ke mně opravdu dobře. Nyní, Jsem na čtyři-vítězný pruh, ale nebyl jsem tak úspěšný, když jsem se poprvé připojil k propagaci. Po dvou ztrátách v řadě jsem si myslel, že mě pošlou domů, ale dali mi další šanci a já jsem to chytil.

 

Jak efektivně klesáte téměř 50 libry z vaší chodící váhy k boji jako lehký?

 

 

 

Rp: "Nemám žádné zvláštní tajemství.". Jen jsem tvrdě trénovat, třikrát denně, Neděle až neděle. Obvykle, Vážím se kolem 92 kilogram (203 lbs), ale nikdy mi neunikne váha a vždycky 70 kilogram (154 lbs) pro vážení. Někteří si myslí, že je to pro mě v boji obrovská výhoda, ale, věř mi, Trpím mnohem víc než kdokoli jiný. “

 

Co víte o vašem dalším soupeři, Roman Bogatov?

 

 

 

"Roman Bogatov je tvrdý soupeř.". Možná má lepší zápas a zastavení šíření, ale jsem mnohem lepší zápasník. Jsem sebevědomý a vím, že ho mohu využít. Pokud mě vezme dolů, to je pro mě lepší. Měl jsem skvělý tábor a jsem připraven na pět kol, ale jeden z nás padne před třetím kolem. “

TOP BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS TO SQUARE OFF AT NEF 36 v Portlandu, MAINE

Zanechat komentář

Portland, Maine (Září 17, 2018) - New England utkání (NEF) bude držet své závěrečné smíšené-bojových umění události 2018, “NEF 36: Bitva o zlato,” v sobotu, Listopad 17 na Aura v Portlandu, Maine. Dneska, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the card. Henry Clark (4-4) je naplánováno na splnění Killian Murphy (1-1) in a battle of top contenders to the promotion’s 135-pound amateur title.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. After starting his amateur career at 3-1, Clark would lose his next three in a row. He would bounce back this past June with a first-round submission of Jack Greene (2-6) via D’Arce choke at “NEF 34” v Portlandu. It was a return to form as Clark had picked up all three of his previous wins by submission – all various forms of chokeholds. He previously challenged for the amateur bantamweight title in early 2016 in a losing effort to Johnny Crafts (4-1).

“I’m hyped about this fight with Killian,” Said Clark. “He’s as game as they come, but he is nowhere near ready for me. I’ll smash him up, and then next I’ll take that belt and put it around my waist with my own hands. This is my time to shine.”

Killian Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion. He captured a title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Murphy made his amateur MMA debut earlier this year at “NEF 33” in Portland with a technical knockout of Krishna Scott (0-1). Like Clark, he would also make an unsuccessful bid for the amateur bantamweight title. Murphy lost to current champion Kam Arnold at “NEF 34” in a hard-fought battle that will certainly be a contender for “Boj roku” at the end of 2018. He trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, a současný bojovník UFC, Devin Powell (9-3).

“I’m excited to fight Henry,” Said Murphy. “Beating Henry gives me another shot at the title – and winning that belt has always been my goal.”

Nef příští událost smíšených bojových umění, “NEF 36: Bitva o zlato,” uvidí společnost dělat jeho návrat k Aura v Portlandu, Maine. Událost se bude konat sobotu, Listopad 17, 2018 s dobou zvonu z 7 odpoledne. Vstupenky jsou již v prodeji v www.AuraMaine.com.

Atlantic City, N.J. (Září 16, 2018) – The newest entity in MMA, MMA Pro League, launched Saturday as Team Pennsylvania led by head coach Daniel Gracie defeated Team New Jersey led by head coach Dan Miller by a score of 14 – 6 v Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City and on FloCombat.com.

 

 

 

In the opening bout on FloCombat.com, Joseph Penafiel of Team Pennsylvania defeated Turpal Khamzayev of Team New Jersey by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28), securing three points for Team Pennsylvania.

 

 

“Getting that first win for my team meant everything,” said Penafiel. “I wanted to set the tone for my team and let everyone know we’re here to bang. I knew (Khamzayev) was tough, but I’m way too much for him. Even when he tried to strike me I was able to stay comfortable. And in the grappling department I don’t think many people can mess with me.”

 

 

 

The second official team bout saw Cody Hier of Team Pennsylvania secure a TKO victory over Gabriel Ruiz of Team New Jersey 3:43 into round two and earning Team Pennsylvania five more points, expanding their lead 8 – 0.

 

 

 

“I finally feel like I’m hitting my rhythm in the cage,” said Hier. “I did everything that I could to help Team Pennsylvania get the win tonight. I could tell Ruiz was out and he was quitting. When I hit him with that first big ground and pound, I felt how well I tagged him. And then when he tried to go to his side that’s when I really got aggressive and finished him.”

 

 

 

In the third fight, Team New Jersey’s Claudio Ledesma won by unanimous decision (29-27, 30-27, 30-27) přes Andre Bernardo of Team Pennsylvania, earning Team New Jersey their first three points and tightening the team contest 8 – 3.

 

 

 

“I was glad to do my part for my team,” said Ledesma. “I’m a little mad that I wasn’t able to stop him, ačkoli. I hit him with everything but the kitchen sink, but I just couldn’t finish him. After the second round, once I realized that I probably wasn’t going to finish (Bernardo), I knew my main goal was to just secure the win and that’s what I did.”

 

 

 

The fourth official contest of the night featured a unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) victory by Zedekiah Montanez of Team Pennsylvania over Mike Pagano of Team New Jersey, capturing three more points for Team Pennsylvania and growing the lead 11 – 3.

 

 

 

“It felt great to get the win. I was just trying to listen to my coach and my teammates,” said Montanez. “I also had my son right there watching me tonight. He helps remind me what I do this for. But tonight, I was happy to get this experience under my belt and get the win for my team.”

 

 

 

In the evening’s fifth bout, Team Pennsylvania’s Rafael Celestino defeated Team New Jersey’s Emmanuel Walo jednomyslným rozhodnutím (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). With Celestino’s win, Team Pennsylvania collected three more points, widening the score 14 – 3, and officially securing Team Pennsylvania victory.

 

 

 

“I’m very happy with my win and to be able to help my team earn the victory tonight,” said Celestino. “Walo is a very tough opponent and he came to fight tonight, but I did enough to get the win and am happy with my performance.”

 

 

 

The sixth and final official contest showcased an exhilarating finale as Kevin Sears of Team New Jersey scored a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) přes Ahmed Samir of Team Pennsylvania, making the final team score 14 – 6 in favor of Team Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

“I went in there and fought for my team, but I was also fighting for my daughter and my family,” said Sears. “I’m doing this to make my daughter’s life better. She helps push me and drives me to fight. Samir had me shook in the first round, and then again in the second, but I just dug deep and did what I needed to get this win.”

 

 

 

“The way we won showed me a lot about my team,” said coach Gracie. “We won decisively and showed the type of performance that I’ve come to expect from my guys.

 

 

 

“MMA needs innovation and something new to excite the fans and help bring the masses to our sport,” added Gracie. “I think MMA Pro League and this team concept is exactly what will help bring that added attention and take this sport to the next level.”
