FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Janvye 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.

 

 

Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.

 

 

“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, ou konnen?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”

 

 

Arnold, ki moun ki vire 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.

 

 

Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Samdi, Fevriye 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Samdi."

 

 

Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian nan 1 minute, 54 segonn.

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Li se yon vanyan sòlda. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Mwen gen yon anpil nan respè pou l '. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”

 

 

Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” prim. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.

 

 

"Yeah, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”

 

 

A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.

 

Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.

 

 

“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”

 

 

In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.

 

 

“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Malerezman, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”

 

 

Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.

 

 

He fell in love with professional wrestling, Mma, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” li te di.

 

 

While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.

 

 

“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, when I was 18 oswa 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, ki moun ki vire 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”

 

 

Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.

 

 

Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.

 

 

“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.

 

 

“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”

 

 

When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.

 

 

“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”

 

 

The opening bell Fevriye 3 se mete pou 7 p.m. Biyè yo disponib nan www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Tansyon Kouri segondè kòm Ansyen fokon kondisip ekip mwen Prepare pou mma kaj batay

Lewiston, Maine (Janvye 10, 2018) – Ap grandi nan menm kominote a ble-kolye ak avanse nan menm bagay la tou, rakonte pwogram espò pa nesesèman fè de mesye pi bon zanmi.

 

 

 

Ansyen ekip Mountain Valley High School, ak pwochen New England Goumen melanje opozan Arts masyal, Ryan Burgess ak Nate Boucher se prèv ki montre Maxim la fin vye granmoun, “connaissance elve meprize.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, ak Boucher, 21, ap batay nan yon mouch bout amatè nan "nèf 32: Super Samdi"Sou Samdi, Fevriye 3. Batay la nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee ap detèmine contender nan nimewo yon sèl nan divizyon an 125-liv, ak touche gayan an yon tit tire kont chanpyon Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Li pral yo te prèske yon ane depi Burgess, yon twa-fwa chanpyon Maine lit lekòl segondè ak sot pase titleholder nef, te mache nan kalòj la. Li te rele nef ko-pwopriyetè ak promoteur Matt Peterson ak espesifikman mande batay la Boucher.

 

 

 

Poukisa? Sou yon sèl men, li te yon desizyon biznis apre fèmen Boucher nan, fann-desizyon pèt Witham nan yon bout tit Novanm.

 

 

 

"Mwen te soti pou yon ane. Mwen te espere so dwa tounen nan yon batay tit,"Burgess eksplike. "Apre batay Nate a ak Witham, Mwen te konnen li ta vle rematch imedya a. Yon fwa li te vin evidan ke pa te ale nan rive jouk avril, Mwen te mande si nou te ka fè sa a batay nan mwa fevriye, ak Nate pran l '. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) imedyatman te lanse youn oubyen de medya sosyal grenad ki te parèt ki endike kèk nivo animosité nan direksyon Falcon parèy li. Li pi sanble mwens pèsonèl pase taktik; Burgess presanti yon opòtinite yo esplwate sa li wè kòm youn nan chinks yo nan zam Boucher nan.

 

 

 

"Nate, depi tout tan li te yon jenn ti kabrit, gen yon atitid piss-pòv lè li pèdi. Mwen espere aprann soumèt l 'yon ti kras, epi fè sèten li pa gen enkyete sou sa a batay ap resevwa nan men yo nan jij yo,"Burgess te di. "Nate pwobableman te kapab yon de- oswa-twa-fwa chanpyon eta si li fin di Bondye tèt li opòtinite pou fè sa. Si li toujou gen menm atitid la li te gen tounen Lè sa a, li pral nan fen menm jan an. "

 

 

 

Burgess se youn nan sèlman kat chanpyon eta twa-tan nan istwa MVHS. Azar, frè Boucher nan, Etan, tou akonpli feat a.

 

 

 

Boucher, ki te deja pran soti kat nan tan chanpyon kabann lekòl segondè Maine, ak de-tan New England finalis, Jeremi Barkac nan Dexter pandan tan li nan egzagòn a nef, sanble ak son tankou yon karaktè diferan pase yon sèl la ki moun ki plede lwen kabann lan kòm yon tinedjè.

 

 

 

Apre genyen de premye batay li yo ak fasilite, Boucher (2-1) pa t 'yon sèl la sèlman nan bilding lan ki te santi li te fè ase yo touche senti a nan Portland.

 

 

 

"Mwen te panse mwen kontwole de premye jij yo nan batay la. tout twa, reyèlman. De la premye fwa mwen bèl anpil te gen (Witham) toufe bon ti plant soti,"Boucher di. "Li te fini ke yo te yon eksperyans aprantisaj pou m 'ke ou pa ka kite batay la nan jij yo. Bagay an gwo sou ranje ki amatè se, pandan y ap nan kou mwen pran swen sou dosye mwen, nan fen jou a, li nan yon pati nan pwosesis aprantisaj la fè ou yon pi bon pwofesyonèl. "

 

 

 

An repons a Burgess’ vole sou Facebook, Boucher kesyone konpòtman chanpyon nan ansyen an apre li fin genyen braslè a nef de batay nan karyè li.

 

 

 

"Mwen pa anpil pou pale nan fatra. Mwen jis jwi espò a. Mwen renmen al goumen ak sa a, jis ale lakay ou. Li fè li yon ti kras yo bati mwa l 'Mwen panse ke,"Boucher di. "Li tonbe senti a paske li te gen pwoblèm fè pwa, ki se trè derespektan, nan opinyon mwen. Li te soti pou yon ti tan, se konsa kounye a mwen se devan yo nan l ', epi li konnen li te gen yo ale nan m '. "

 

 

 

Burgess te di ke li itilize ke konpresyon ranpli edikasyon kolèj l ', li devlope kalifikasyon li kòm yon asistan terapis fizik, ki endike ke pwofesyon medikal la se pi plis chans yo dwe karyè alontèm li pase mma.

 

 

 

Pandan ke li te kontinye orè fòmasyon l 'nan RUMFORD Sant Kominotè ak Berserkers mma, Burgess te di li te mwens entans ak estriktire anvan pèt l 'kont Witham ak Dustin Veinott. Burgess deja bat tou de rival.

 

 

 

"Fizikman mwen toujou ta dwe bat yo, men mantalman mwen pa t 'kòm prepare jan mwen ta dwe. Koulye a, mwen pi plis konsantre,"Burgess te di. "Nan moman sa a mwen te fini lekòl, k ap travay a tan pasyèl 20 to 30 èdtan nan yon semèn ak ale nan lekòl pou pwobableman yon lòt 40. Mwen pèdi de batay kote mwen te anba pwa. Mwen te pran pwa pandan y ap mesye yo lòt yo te koupe pwa. Mwen ta antre nan peyi a nan limit la epi yo ta mete yo sou 10 to 15 liv ant peze-an an ak batay la. "

 

 

 

Boucher Byensir pa janm rive potansyèl li kòm yon wrèstle lekòl segondè. Li te swiv yon chemen diferan pase Burgess, enskri nan Central Maine brezilyen jyu-jitsu - kote li te toujou tren jodi a - nan laj 13.

 

 

 

"Mwen gen kèk nan patnè yo pi di ak pi bon fòmasyon nan eta a ki,"Boucher di. "Te mwen jyu-jitsu vini yon fason lontan, prèske pwen kote li te pase batay m 'yon ti kras. Natirèlman, lit se sa m 'toujou ale tounen nan lè mwen bezwen li. travyè mwen se lannwit-ak-jou. Li te terib pou premye batay mwen an. "

 

 

 

Li te ajoute ke te pi gran siksè l 'nan mma vini nan depans lan nan luteur ansyen.

 

 

 

Burgess se konte sou Boucher underestimate rès la nan repètwa l '. Kòm yon moun ki pran batay sou lekòl mwayen ekip la varsity jinyò nan setyèm klas, li te di ke te istwa li kòm yon etid rapid te pote sou nan domèn nan jyu jitsu-yo ak boksè.

 

 

 

"Mwen panse li te ale nan dwe etone. Li panse li konnen ki sa mwen pote nan tab la,"Burgess te di. "Tout li konnen sou m 'se lit mwen, men mwen gen yon anpil plis pase sa yo tonbe sou do yo. Mwen deja konnen sa l 'pote sou tab la. Apre sa, li pa nan pral aprann nan de mwa ki sa mwen te aprann nan de ane."

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

WILL MAKE COLOR COMMENTARY DEBUT AT La ap 192 SOU JAN. 20 – LIVE ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK

TOU, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

LOS ANGELES – Bellator is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with Jan McCarthy to serve as color commentator during broadcasts on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network, which kicks off with La ap 192 sou Samdi, Janvye 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Jan. 20 debut on the Paramount Network,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “With John and Chael providing analysis, you’re getting two people who have spent more time in the cage than they have spent with a headset on, and that will translate to a positive viewing experience for Bellator fans.”

 

Over the past 20 ane, “Big” John McCarthy has set the bar when it comes to officiating in MMA, a sport where he has overseen countless fights promoted by Bellator and other promotions all over the world, serving as the referee for some of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport. A former Los Angeles Police Officer, and a Self-Defense Instructor at the Los Angeles Police Academy, McCarthy is also the founder of “C.O.M.M.A.N.D.,” a program that trains and certifies hopeful MMA referees and judges. McCarthy’s regulatory work is equally as impressive, as he was a key figure in the writing of the sport’s Unified Rules, which are recognized by the ABC and athletic commissions all across North America.

 

Along with his broadcasting duties, the man behind the catchphrase “Let’s get it on!” will also provide a unique level of first-hand insight to the plethora of original content produced by Bellator’s digital team.

 

“I first want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity I have been given to work with the incredible team Bellator has assembled. It is always so hard to leave something you love, but I have always wanted to step away based on my terms rather than someone else’s. My goals are to work as hard as I can to meet the expectations everyone will have for me and to hopefully someday exceed them.” McCarthy said. “I cannot think of anyone I would rather be working with than Scott Coker. Scott has always been a person I admire because of his honesty, loyalty and love for the martial arts. I want to thank everyone from Bellator and Viacom for the trust you are bestowing upon me to keep the commentating of Bellator MMA at the highest levels of the sport.”

 

Anplis de sa, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg ak Mauro Ranallo.

 

Chael Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC and WEC, a run that saw him defeat former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (de fwa), Rashad Evans, “Shogun” Rua, Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, having done broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz nan La ap 170 in January and then went on to defeat Wanderlei Silva during the main event of La ap: NYC.

 

Bellator and the soon-to-launch Paramount Network open 2018 with a bang when La ap 192: Lima vs. MacDonald emanates from The Forum in California on Jan. 20. Anchored by a welterweight world title fight featuring Douglas Lima defending his championship against Rory MacDonald, the blockbuster event also will see the aforementioned Chael Sonnen compete against “Rampage” Jackson in the opening contest of 2018’s Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix.
