Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Agosto 17, 2016) – For the second time in New England Fights (NEF) storia, a professional women’s mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout will take to the fight promotion’s cage. SuSettembre 10, 2016 when NEF returns to Lewiston with its next event, “NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI,” the professional portion of the MMA card will feature a women’s flyweight bout between Sarah “SwitchKick” Fare clic (0-1) e Valerie “Valociraptor” Aspaas (0-0). Click and Aspaas will look to continue the recent tradition of women’s fights taking “Fight of the Night” honors at NEF events. Judging from the extensive martial arts backgrounds of both competitors, the fight could very well do just that.

 

Sarah Click made her initial foray into the martial arts world at just eight-years-old when she began training in Taekwondo. Now a sergeant in the United States Army, Click began competing in MMA in 2014 after returning from a tour of Afghanistan. Over the course of her amateur career, Click captured several regional titles throughout New England and New York. She made her professional debut for national promotion Invicta last spring. Click is a member of Team Juniko of Hyannis, Massachusetts.

 

“I’m really excited for the opportunity to fight at one of New England’s best promotions,” said Click of NEF. “They are doing big things for fighters, and they are coming off one of their best shows to date. Valerie has fought some of the best 125 talento, going the distance with KGB and Kaitlyn Chookagain. I’m going to do what I do best and bring a war that you won’t want to miss!”

 

Like her opponent, Valerie Aspaas got her start in martial arts at a young age, training in Isshin-Ryu Karate. She currently holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). In 2014, Aspaas won the Buffalo, New York version of the Golden Gloves. She made her NEF debut at “NEF IX” a Biddeford, Maine, defeating Maria Rios (2-3) tramite decisione unanime. The fight was a brutal bloodbath that had the capacity crowd on the edge of its collective seat for the duration. Aspaas will enter the professional ranks at “NEF 25.”

 

“My professional debut has been a long time coming, and I am honored to have the opportunity to do it under NEF,” said Aspaas when reached for comment. “I fought for them a few years back, and I believe that the promotion and the people of Maine remember the bloody, exciting battle I fought against Maria Rios. They should expect to see more of the same ferocity and grit from a more evolved version of the Valociraptor when I step back into the cage on September 10th.”

 

prossimo evento New England Combattimenti ', "NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI,"Si svolge il Sabato, Settembre 10, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. I biglietti partono da soli $25 e sono già in vendita su www.TheColisee.com o chiamando il botteghino al Colisée 207.783.2009 x 525.

DENNING INKS NEW NEF DEAL; WILL FACE TRAHAN AT NEF 25

Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Agosto 15, 2016) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Lewiston su Settembre 10, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI.” Proprio oggi, NEF executives announced the re-signing of Lewiston featherweight mixed-martial-artist Opaco “Ken Doll” Denning (3-3) to a new developmental deal. The first fight of the deal will see Denning face Taylor Trahan (5-6) on the main card of “NEF 25.”

 

“I’m excited to have signed another contract with NEF,” ha detto Denning. “I was planning on retiring, but I still have too much fight left in me. I haven’t been doing great record-wise, but if people have seen the opponents I have faced and the performances I put on, they know I’m evolving.”

 

Denning, un membro del Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), has had eleven of his thirteen combined amateur and professional fights in the NEF MMA cage. He signed his first developmental deal with the promotion in the fall of 2014. Denning got off to a 2-0 start as a pro before dropping three of his next four. He says that his new focus will be on improving his abilities through tough fights rather than trying to pad his record.

 

“I’m excited to fight Taylor Trahan. E 'un duro, dura lotta, but I wanted it. I need the motivation to get back in prime shape like I was when I fought Jeremy Tyler and made my pro debut against Derek Shorey. I’m over records. I’m done with everyone’s opinions. I talked to my coaches and team and I’m going to fight tough guys and do my best to beat them and get better. When I am finally done fighting, I want people to remember that I fought extremely tough opponents and did very well. Thanks to Matt and Nick for asking for me back. I plan on putting on a great show come September 10th. Chi lo sa–maybe the NEF fans will see me in the boxing ring soon! Oss.”

 

Looking at the length of his career, it is hard to believe Taylor Trahan is only 25-years-old. The native of Littleton, New Hampshire, and current resident of St. Johnsbury, Vermont, made his amateur MMA debut back in 2009, shortly after his 18th birthday. Seven years and 26 fights later, Trahan is recognized as one of the most prolific competitors in all of New England MMA. While he has fought in every corner of the region, Trahan has yet to step into the NEF MMA cage. He predicts that he and Denning will put on an exciting, fight-of-the-night performance in his NEF debut.

 

“I’m looking forward to being a part of NEF 25,” said Trahan. “NEF always puts on a great show. I’ll be fighting Matt ‘Ken Doll’ Denning. He’s a game opponent, but I see holes in his game that I’ll be looking to exploit. I predict the fight having a lot of fireworks and being fight of the night.”

 

prossimo evento New England Combattimenti ', "NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI,"Si svolge il Sabato, Settembre 10, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. I biglietti partono da soli $25 e sono già in vendita su www.TheColisee.com o chiamando il botteghino al Colisée 207.783.2009 x 525.

Bellator 93 REMATCH TO FEATURE PROMINENTLY ON NEF 25 FIGHT CARD

Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Agosto 11, 2016) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) torna a Lewiston su Settembre 10, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI.” NEF executives announced earlier today that Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (7-5) e Jon Lemke (5-6) will square off for the second time in their respective careers. Lemke won the first meeting at NEF’s co-promotion with Bellator, “Bellator 93,” nella primavera del 2013. The bout will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

 

Originally scheduled to take place earlier this month at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” in Bangor, Erickson-Lemke II was postponed when Erickson suffered an injury in training. Devin Powell (8-1) stepped in to replace Erickson in the bout. While he was stopped late in the first round, Lemke put on a valiant performance, shattering Powell’s nose in the process. Lemke hopes to get back on the winning track at “NEF 25.”

 

“My last couple of performances have been a bit disappointing for me as a fighter, so I wanted to fight again as soon as possible and figure this out,” ha detto Lemke. “I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to fight for NEF. I am learning how to separate who I am as a person and man versus who I am as a fighter when I step in to that cage. This will enable me to stop holding back and really leave it all in the cage. Jesse is a fighter through and through and this will be a great battle for sure.”

 

Erickson, d'altra parte, is coming off a brutal knockout victory over Amos Collins (4-5) lo scorso giugno. It was just the latest in a string of improved striking performances from Erickson in the past couple of years. He says that he will welcome the opportunity to stand and exchange with Lemke should the opportunity present itself.

 

“I can’t wait to step into the NEF cage against Jon,” said Erickson. “Ho molto rispetto per lui. He is a talented well rounded fighter and always puts on a show. He beat me in my pro debut, but that was years ago and I’m very excited to show everyone how far I’ve come. I’m not the same fighter I was then and now that I’ve recovered from injury, I look forward to competing against him. Most people expect me to look for the takedown to utilize my jiu jitsu, but I love to strike and want to show him and everyone else that I’ve got Thor’s hammer in these hands. If he thinks the outcome will be the same and he will walk through me, it’ll be a rough night for him. Victory or Valhalla.”

 

prossimo evento New England Combattimenti ', "NEF 25: EROI & CATTIVI,"Si svolge il Sabato, Settembre 10, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. I biglietti partono da soli $25 e sono già in vendita su www.TheColisee.com o chiamando il botteghino al Colisée 207.783.2009 x 525.
