Lewiston, Maine (Mars 10, 2017) – Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) présente son prochain événement d'arts martiaux mixtes “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Samedi, Avril 29, 2017 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank à Lewiston, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Mat “Pretty Boy” Probin (0-0) se réunira Voler “La Bête” Best (0-0) à un poids de combat de 145 livres-.

Probin, a well known boxer, kickboxer and mixed-martial-artist, came to Maine and began training in the Pine Tree State in 2015. A native of Blackpool, Angleterre, Probin had spent time training in North Carolina prior to arriving in Maine. He put together a 6-2 record as an amateur MMA competitor and won a regional title in the Carolinas. While he has not competed in MMA since moving to Maine, Probin has stayed active competing in other combat sports. Il est 2-2 comme un boxeur professionnel, and he has also spent time training Muay Thai in Thailand in recent years. Probin even competed at the world famous Bangla Boxing Stadium – one of Thailand’s premier Muay Thai venues. He will make his professional MMA debut on Avril 29 en tant que membre de Bangor, MMA Young Maine.

“I feel like this has been a long time coming,” said Probin when reached for comment. “I’m excited to make my debut for NEF and put on a show for my friends and fans in my adopted hometown. Ne clignez pas des yeux!”

With more than two-dozen fights since 2011, Rob Best has been one of the Northeast’s most continuously active MMA competitors in recent years. Comme un amateur, Best captured a regional lightweight title in New York state. He is a member of Mohawk Valley MMA based in the Utica area. Like Probin, the bout on Avril 29 will be Best’s professional MMA debut.

SALON SPORTIF DE COMBAT FNU: Spectacle hommage à Lou Duva, Le psychique Tom Padgett écrase absolument l'UFC 209 Prédictions, Garcia vs. Récapitulation et analyse de Thurman

Tony Penecale (gauche) et Lou Duva (droit) au Brockton, Dédicace de la statue de Rocky Marciano dans le Massachusetts.

Notre émission de cette semaine était consacrée à Lou Duva (en haut à droite avec notre co-animateur Tony Penecale). Lou est décédé plus tôt cette semaine à l'âge vénérable de 1994. Il était un grand ami de Rocky Marciano, un promoteur de 19 champions du monde, et un homme qui avait tous ses fers dans le seul feu qui a allumé sa vie: boxe. Le promoteur/entraîneur/manager/légende est apparu dans l'émission FNU Combat Sports il y a des années, mais malheureusement le son est granuleux et inégal. Si vous écoutez attentivement, les joyaux de notre discours l'emportent sur les points difficiles à entendre.

L'interview complète de Lou Duva est ici:

KNOCKOUT ARTIST UP NEXT FOR HARVEY AT NEF 28

Laisser un commentaire

Lewiston, Maine (Mars 8, 2017) – Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) présente son prochain événement d'arts martiaux mixtes “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Samedi, Avril 29, 2017 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank à Lewiston, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Josh “Hook On” Harvey (3-0) se réunira Eric “Argent” Mendiola (2-1) à un poids de combat de 145 livres-.

Harvey, the former NEF amateur division lightweight champion, is undefeated to date since making his professional debut last spring. With a solid amateur boxing background, as well as the pedigree of a two-time Maine state wrestling champion, matchmakers have had difficulty in finding opponents willing to step into the cage with him. The Young’s MMA prospect has displayed both devastating knockout power and slick submission skills throughout his career thus far. Plus récemment,, Harvey submitted Richie Collingham (3-4) le mois dernier à “NEF 27.”

“«Argent’ and I are the type of fight that takes the spotlight, and I know it’s one that people will be talking about for a long time,” remarked Harvey on the upcoming fight. “I’m prepared for war in this kill-or-be-killed contest.”

Mendiola, a product of Mohawk Valley MMA in the Utica, New York area, will make his first appearance in the NEF cage on Avril 29, but he is far from a newcomer to the sport of MMA. He had more than twenty amateur fights prior to turning pro in 2015. Mendiola has built a reputation as a knockout artist. After numerous knockout finishes in the amateur ranks, Mendiola put the lights out for his first two pro opponents, both in under a minute. He will look to rebound from his first loss as a pro last fall.

“I’m a different kind of focused for this fight, mentalement et physiquement,” stated Mendiola when reached for comment. “Harvey looks like a tough kid with a good record, and I’m up for the challenge. I have a bad taste in my mouth from a couple of months ago, and I’m coming to lay it all on the line and showcase all of my skills. Let’s get to it!”

LACEY TO TAKE ON BELLATOR VETERAN AT NEF 28

Laisser un commentaire

 

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE: Lewiston, Maine (Mars 7, 2017) – Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) présente son prochain événement d'arts martiaux mixtes “NEF 28: INVINCIBLE” Samedi, Avril 29, 2017 au Colisée Androscoggin Bank à Lewiston, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (4-0) a signé à face Walter “All-Day” Smith-Cotito (4-5) à un poids de combat de 145 livres-.

Aaron Lacey, undefeated as a professional, has won seven in a row going back to his amateur career. He was prepared to compete at “NEF 27” mois dernier, but Mother Nature had other plans when a snowstorm prevented his opponent from making the trip to Lewiston from Florida. The setback has made Lacey even hungrier to return to action, but the Young’s MMA standout knows that he has his toughest test to date in front of him in the form of Cotito.

“This is going to be an amazing fight,” dit Lacey. “Walter is a skilled and dangerous opponent, and he is realistically one of the most dangerous people I have fought to date. That’s alright with me though – the tougher the opponent, plus je travaille. After what went down in February, I’m chomping at the bit to get back in there.”

The fight for Cotito will represent a rubber match of sorts with Young’s opponents. In the spring of 2013, Cotito took Ray Wood (8-3) deep into the third round before Wood, then Young’s standout featherweight prospect, was able to finish the fight. Cotito would gain a measure of revenge against the Bangor gym when he submitted Bruce Boyington (14-10) à “NEF X” later that year. Between a pair of recent appearances for global fight promotion Bellator, Cotito scored a second-round submission of Elias Leland (3-2) à “NEF 25” Septembre dernier.

“I’m super excited to fight this kid that they’re all talking about,” exclaimed Cotito. “He has a lot of potential, they keep saying – good, this just makes it more exciting for me! Nobody has seen the real Walter Cotito in the cage yet. Don’t miss this fight because ‘All-Day’ is coming for you!”

JULIA BUDD WINS INAUGURAL WOMEN’S FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE AT BELLATOR 174 — MARLOES COENEN CALLS IT A CAREER

Laisser un commentaire

 

Julia Budd (10-2) vaincu Marloes Coenen (23-8) par TKO (poinçons) à 2:42 de la quatrième ronde

 

Devis: “I have dreamt about this moment forever. Quand j'étais 21 and first started kickboxing, I dreamt about being a champion and I didn’t make it, I lost.” Budd said. “Si, this is my dream come true. The moment I signed with Bellator, I saw all the champions up there on the banners and I said to myself that i want to be up there with them some day. Now it feels like everything has come together.”

“Theres only one message that I want to give out to all the fighters out there and that’s please listen to your body. I’m very proud of all the women in MMA and I’m very grateful for Bellator,” Coenen said. “This company picked me up when I was in a dark place and Scott Coker has given me so many opportunities throughout my career. Bellator MMA will always be my home.”

Fernando Gonzalez (26-14) vaincu Brandon Girtz (14-6) par décision unanime (29-28, 29-27, 30-26)

 

Devis: “Everything I thought was going to happen ce soir, arrivé. Every time he was going to go for a take down, I wanted to make him pay for it.” Gonzalez dit. “I had to keep him busy and make him scramble. My plan was to box with him and then keep him away with the leg kicks. I wanted to make him work and get him tired and it proved to be effective in the third round. My next fight, Je voudrais Andrey Koreshkov. He is one of the best and Bellator’s former champion. I think I will win that fight, which will put me right in line with Douglas Lima next.”

Justin Wren (13-2) vaincu Roman Pizzolato (8-9) par soumission (triangle de bras) à 2:35 de la première ronde

 

Devis: “I’m so grateful for Bellator and Spike to be able to come out here, do what I love and perform. Mais, pour moi, it’s about so much more than the competition, it’s all about knocking some dude out, so that we can knock out the water crisis with my team out there in the Congo,” Wren said. “They are so incredible. I just train them and put the tools in their hands. They are much better fighters than I ever could be in this cage, so I want to be as good as I can, so that I can give them a voice.”

Rafael Lovato Jr.. (5-0) vaincu Charles Hackman (4-5) via TKO à 0:13 de la première ronde

 

Devis: “I was completely prepared for this fight and had an incredible camp," Lovato Jr. dit. “I’m just so happy and thankful to be with Bellator now. I’m so excited about my future, so let’s ride this wave.

Preliminary Card Results/Photos:

Justin Patterson (9-1) vaincu Jason Witt (7-4) via TKO à 0:13 de tour de trois

Gabrielle Holloway (6-5) vaincu Alexis Dufresne (6-3) via TKO à 2:53 du deuxième tour

Emily Ducote (5-2) vaincu Katy Collins (6-2) par soumission (rear naked choke) à 4:53 de la première ronde

Emmanuel Rivera (6-0) vaincu Treston Thomison (10-5) par décision unanime (30-26, 30-27 2x)

Cody Pfister (13-6-1) vaincu Jonathan Gary (12-8-2) par soumission (rear naked choke) à 4:04 de la première ronde

 

Devis: "Jonathan Gary is a class act, a great guy, and I’m glad that I had the chance to compete against him ce soir. My retirement caught a lot of people by surprise," Pfister said. “I’m going to take time off to focus on other aspirations, but who knows, maybe I’ll be back. Bellator is a class company and I’m honored that my last fight will be with them. Scott Coker and Bellator know how to take care of the fighters and I really like what they’ve done with the company.”

POUR DIFFUSION IMMÉDIATE

Guerriers de Cage 82 is all set to be the biggest show in the promotion’s history, with a stacked card full of the best Merseyside talent.

Just hours after the Merseyside Derby decides the City’s footballing bragging rights at Anfield, the red and blue halves of Liverpool will reunite once more to support their local heroes at the Echo Arena on April 1st for Cage Warriors 82.

The event is headlined by Liverpool’s own world champion, featherweight king Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett who takes on Nad Narimani in his latest title defence. Cage Warriors other Merseyside champion, Chris Fishgold, will also be in action in the night’s co-main attraction, defending his lightweight belt.

Another Liverpool fighter, Ellis Hampson (6-3, 1Caroline du Nord), will also feature on the card in a 160lb catchweight bout against Perry Goodwin (6-4).

And new Cage Warriors signing Dean Trueman (7-3) will look to follow up his spectacular 12-second KO win at CW79 with another impressive victory when he takes on undefeated Swede Frantz Slioa (4-0) à un concours plume.

“We’ve already sold more tickets for this event than we did when more than 3,000 people watched Paddy win the belt at the Echo last year,” said Cage Warriors president Graham Boylan.

“This show is all set to showcase the very best of Liverpool’s fighting talent, and no city supports their own more passionately than the city of Liverpool.

“This is shaping up to be the biggest show we’ve ever done, and I’m expecting a special atmosphere in the Echo Arena on April 1.”
