LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Fikr qoldirish

Bangor, Meyn (Iyul 30, 2016) - Jarod “So'nggi daqiqa” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor at “NEF Presents Dana White: Ichariga qaramoq’ Jang uchun.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, to say the least. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “Redneck” Mundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. Aslida, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

“It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

“I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Said Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

YUQORI MENNING ENGLIGI UCHUN IMKONIYAT

Fikr qoldirish

Bangor, Meyn (Iyul 29, 2016) - Devin Pauell aralash yakkakurashlar bo'yicha o'qituvchi va jangchi sifatida o'zining talabchan hayotidan bir oqshom dam olayotgan edi..

U odatdagi mashg'ulot menyusida bo'lmagan ovqat bilan o'ralgan edi. Xfinity markazida baland musiqa va ziyofat muhitiga mos keladigan bayramona ichimliklar bor edi, Mansfilddagi ochiq kontsert maydoni, Massachusetts.

Qandaydir tarzda, Pauell uning telefon jiringlaganini eshitdi, yoki cho'ntagida tebranishini his qildi. Yaqinlashib kelayotgan suhbat uning keyingi kun rejalarini sezilarli darajada o'zgartirdi.

Pauell Jon Lemke bilan "NEF Presents Dana White" da qaytishni qabul qildi: Jang qidirmoqda,” o‘tkaziladi Juma, Avgust 5 Bangordagi Cross Insurance Center-da.

"Yaxshi do'stim Jessi Erikson jarohat olganini bildim,- dedi Pauell, "va ular mendan to'ldirishimni so'rashdi. Men "albatta" dedim. UFC vakili bo'lgan har qanday kishi, Hech qachon Dana White, agar sizda ularning oldida jang qilish imkoniyati bo'lsa, agar imkoningiz bo'lsa, buni qilishni xohlaysiz. Bu yoqimli bo'lishi kerak, samimiy muhit."

Powell (7-1) engil vaznda NEF chempioni, tasmani Eriksonning “NEF”da texnik nokauti bilan mustahkamladi 22: Barcha yo'llar bu erga olib boradi" aprel oyida. Lemke (5-5) ushbu kamar uchun kurashda avvalgi chempion Bryus Boyingtonga yutqazdi.

Jang engil vazn chegarasidan besh funt yuqori bo'lib, ushlash vaznida bo'lib o'tadi 160.

“Bu juda katta imkoniyat,- dedi Lemke, qo'shni Brewerda yashaydi. “Men juda minnatdorman. Men MMAdagi eng nufuzli odam oldida jang qilishni intiqlik bilan kutaman.

Ularning jangi Uayt oldida namoyish etiladigan sakkizta professional to'qnashuvlardan biridir, yaqin atrofdagi Hermon shahrida tug'ilgan, va kogortalar Din Tomas va Mett Serra. Uchlik mamlakat bo'ylab MMA bo'yicha kashf qilinmagan iste'dodlarni izlash uchun Uaytning YouTube sahifasida, shuningdek, UFC Fight Pass obunasiga asoslangan oqimli video xizmatida namoyish etiladigan realiti-shouda sayohat qiladi..

Ma'lumki, hech bir inson diqqat markazidan qochmaydi. Lemke Bellatorda Eriksonni to'xtatdi 93 ikki yil oldin Lyuistonda. Pauell o'zining g'alabali seriyasini 5 taga ko'tardi va bu g'alabaga erishdi Iyun 17 Foxwoodsdagi Butunjahon janglar seriyasida Tommy Marcellino ustidan.

“Bilaman, ular bu yerda asosiy musobaqadagi yigitlarni tomosha qilish uchun kelgandir,Pauell Uayt va uning atrofidagilar haqida aytdi, "Lekin men ular uxlay olmaydigan spektakl qo'yishni rejalashtiryapman. Jang uslubim bilan, juda tajovuzkor va g'ayrioddiy, Ishonchim komilki, men ularning e'tiborini tortaman. Bu sport to'g'ri imkoniyatni qo'lga kiritish va undan foydalanishni o'z ichiga oladi”.

Pauell jangni uch hafta oldin ogohlantirganligi sababli u biron bir ustunlikni sezdimi yoki yo'qligini so'rashganda, Lemke muloyimlik bilan u Eriksonga bundan ikki hafta oldin tayyorgarlik ko'ra boshlaganini ta'kidladi.

Lemke esa Josh LaBergega yutqazdi bo'yicha Iyun 10.

“Menda tayyorgarlik ko'rishim uchun yana bir necha hafta bor edi. Men hali ham mashq qilardim, lekin hammasi shu. Men juda yaxshi formada edim, lekin jangovar holatda emasdim,- dedi Lemke. "Bu sizdan so'raydigan narsalardan biri va siz o'zingizga o'xshaysiz, “Oh, bir, Men buni chindan ham qilishni xohlayman, lekin.’ Bu emas, balki faqat juda katta imkoniyat. Bu mutlaqo ideal emas, lekin jangchi sifatida, Albatta, siz bu qiyinchilikni qidiryapsiz, Devin esa bu yerdagi o'yindagi eng yaxshi yigitlardan biri."

U buni birinchi qo'ldan o'rgandi, va jarangdor uslubda, ikki jangchi avvalroq may oyida to'qnashganda 10, 2014. Pauell faqat bo'g'ilish orqali g'alaba qozondi 23 soniya.

Bu Lemkening sakkiz oy oldin Jon Ortolaniga qarshi chempionlik o'yinidan keskin chiqib ketganidan keyin qaytgan jangi edi..

"O'tgan safar unchalik yaxshi o'tmadi. O'sha jangga qadar men uchun juda ko'p chalg'itadigan narsalar va turli vaziyatlar bo'lgan. Undan oldin chempionlik uchun kurashdan voz kechishim kerak edi, buni siz hech qachon qilishni xohlamaysiz. Men uchun jangning to'rtdan uch qismi endigina qafasga qaytish edi,- dedi Lemke.

“Men hozir butunlay boshqacha jangchiman,- deya qo'shimcha qildi u. "Men hamma joyda oldinga siljdim deb o'ylayman, nafaqat o'z mahoratim, balki yondashuvim bilan. Men juda ko'p janglar o'tkazdim va g'alaba va mag'lubiyatlardan saboq oldim. Siz doimo o'rganasiz. Ba'zan qiyin yo'lni o'rganasiz."

Lemke va Pauellning har biri bir yildan kamroq vaqt ichida to'rtinchi marta qafasga kirishadi. Aynan shu faoliyat qisqarttirilgan o'quv lageridan so'ng hech bir kishi bunday qiyin vazifani qabul qilishdan bezovtalanmasligining sababidir..

Pauell misolida, Jang - bu Somersvortdagi Nostos MMAda egasi va bosh o'qituvchisi sifatida uning kundalik hayotining tabiiy davomi., N.H.

“Men bor narsam uchun minnatdorman. Mening 4 yoshli qizim bor va u akademiyaga kelib jiu-jitsu bilan shug'ullanishni yaxshi ko'radi.,- dedi Pauell. “Mening ajoyib hayotim bor. Men faqat dars berishim kerak, mashq qiling va jang qiling. Ko'p odamlar har kecha bolalari bilan bir necha soatdan ko'proq vaqt o'tkazmaydilar. Biz bu sport uchun ko'p narsani qurbon qilamiz. Odamlar faqat ko'rishadi 15 do'zax daqiqalari. Ular boshqa hamma narsani ko'rmaydilar."

Pauell o'zining gullab-yashnagan karerasida uchinchi marta NEF vakili bo'lishdan mamnun.

“NEF – mamlakatdagi eng katta aksiyalardan biri. Ular Meyndan kelgan yigitlardan super yulduzlarni yaratadilar,- dedi Pauell. “Men Butunjahon janglar seriyasi uchun jang qildim, va men ularni taqillatganim kabi ovoz berishni xohlamayman, lekin bu ancha kichikroq shou edi. NEF juda ko'p muxlislarga ega, va endi siz ularni Cape Cod va Bangor kabi joylarga borishlarini ko'rasiz, va bu faqat uni yanada oshirishi mumkin. Ular buni to'g'ri qilishadi, va ular uchun u erga qadam qo'yganimdan xursandman."

Lemke nafaqat Uayt, balki Bangor hududidan kelgan ona shahri muxlislari oldida kurashning qo'shimcha bosimiga duch kelmoqda..

Ularning ko'pchiligi uning Lyuistondagi uchrashuvlari uchun to'rt soatlik aylanma sayohatga o'rganmagan.

“Jang baribir shunchaki jang, va keyingi jang nima bo'lishidan qat'i nazar, eng katta kurashdir. Siz u erda kim tomosha qilishini yoki natijada nima bo'lishini hech qachon bilmaysiz,- dedi Lemke, u raqibi bilan ko'proq tashvishlanayotganini ko'rsatadi. “Devin ajoyib jangchi. U ajoyib mahoratga ega. U juda mashhur va u buni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun ajoyib rekordga ega. Bu, albatta, men uchun bir umrlik sinov. U qafasdan tashqarida ham ajoyib yigit. Men u bilan yaxshi munosabatdaman. O‘ylaymanki, biz bir-birimizni hurmat qilamiz”.

Pauell bu shubhalarni tasdiqladi, Garchi u o'z maqsadi navbatdagi hal qiluvchi g'alabadan kam emasligini yana bir bor ta'kidladi.

“U yaxshi yigit. Men bunday chuqurlikka borishim shart emas, qorong'u joy. Men tushunamanki, mening vazifam kimnidir shu qadar qattiq xafa qilishdirki, uning hayotini saqlab qolish uchun hakam harakatga kirishishi kerak. Bu go'zal, zo'ravonlik sporti. Men bilan bir xil maqsadlar bilan u erga kirishga jur'at etgan har bir kishini hurmat qilaman,- dedi Pauell. “Men Lemke bilan uchrashuv kutyapman. U agressiv bo'ldi. U jang qilish uchun keladi. Men ham xuddi shunday narsalarni qilishni yaxshi ko'raman. Birinchi jang qisqa muddatli edi. Agar buni takrorlay olsam, Ishonchim komilki, Dana Uayt baxtli bo'ladi."

YOUNG’S MMA HAS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE ON AUGUST 5 IN BANGOR

Fikr qoldirish

Bangor, Meyn (Iyul 28, 2016) – The dedicated delegation from Young’s MMA of Bangor usually relish their reputation as road warriors in New England Fights.

Lewiston is long established as the hub city for the organization, drawing competitors and spectators from both directions on the Maine Turnpike. Fighters and fans from the Penobscot River valley find that staying engaged for those fight cards four or five times a year requires greater commitment than most.

For only the second time in its history, the regional promotion will bring its cage to the Queen City. "NEF taqdim etadi: Dana White Lookin’ for a Fight” is slated for Friday, Avgust 5 at Cross Insurance Center.

Young’s, the gym located just a few blocks away at 127 Hammond Street, will celebrate by showcasing one of its fighters in four of the eight scheduled professional bouts. Battle-tested Ryan Sanders and relative newcomers Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey and CJ Ewer all are poised to take their best shot with the support of a raucous, partisan crowd.

“That’s the most exciting part for me, being from Brewer. I went to Brewer High School,” Lacey said. “It was definitely a huge, huge draw for me, seeing it in person. I went to the fights when NEF came to Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Iyul 12, 2013) and all I could think is, ‘Man, I want to do this.’ This has been a goal of mine for a long time.”

Sanders (10-7) will battle Derrick Kennington (11-7) in a clash of wily lightweights that will be on the featured attractions on the docket.

His three stablemates each emerged victorious in their only previous pro bout. Lacey will lock up with John Santos (3-3) of Derry, N.H., tuklar kurashda. Harvey has an appointment at featherweight. Ko'za, who won an amateur bout at the outdoor concert venue in Bangor, will be tested by Ruben Redman (0-1) in a welterweight scrap.

Even with numerous friends in attendance, the four men know it is the presence of UFC president White, who grew up in nearby Hermon, which could have career-changing ramifications.

“It’s a great opportunity. It’s awesome to know that someone like that is going to be in the building on fight night,” Sanders said. “But for me it’s just another fight. I don’t want to get caught up in all that. Just let it unfold.”

White and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra travel the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Ha, the entrepreneur’s Maine connections are well-documented. White also previously brought UFC Fight Night 47 to Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, ammo.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,” Harvey said. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Men sizlardan buning uchun xursandman. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. People see that and want to train with the best guys they can,” Sanders said. “We definitely push each other. You have guys who kick your ass every day. We want the best for each other. That’s why we’re here.”

Harvey expects the numbers and commitment to grow after White’s visit. He has been training at Young’s for three years. The cage side seat at the waterfront inspired him to step up his own training regimen. It’s a built-in advantage, Harvey noted, that has belonged almost exclusively to Lewiston until now.

“That’s what gets most people started. They go and see the fights and they want to try it,” Harvey said. “That’s why you see places like Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) and First Class MMA (Topsham) growing so much. The fights are right there in their backyard.”

Lacey characterizes Young’s as “a gym full of killers.”

The statistics underscore Lacey’s point. The three pros with unblemished records all won their debut in two minutes or less.

“Ryan has only gone to a decision I think one time in his career. He’s a finisher. Josh won his fight by submission in the first round. CJ is super strong,” Lacey said. “They challenge me to be the best I can be every day. They keep me focused not just in the gym but in the game of life outside the cage.”

Although he is facing an opponent with significantly greater experience, Lacey expects a helpful adrenaline rush from having so many familiar faces at his back.

“It is different. I fought I think seven times in Lewiston between amateur fights and my pro debut,"Dedi. “This gives me a chance to be in my comfort zone. And a lot of my fans can’t make it down there. By the time you figure in the travel, the price of the tickets, maybe staying overnight, they just can’t do it.”

Harvey agreed, pointing out that it’s the initial fight for which he hasn’t needed to pack a suitcase.

“This will be the first time I’ve slept in my own bed the night before a fight. I think it’s a huge advantage,” Harvey said. “Some people might think with more of your fans there that there’s more pressure, but I think it just builds you up.”

Monte Carlo, Monaco(Iyul 28, 2016)- Jahon MMA uyushmasi (WMMAA) Vadim Finkelchtein has gone public to explain the recent WMMAA decision regarding Team Maldonado’s appeal, which resulted in the change of the official Jangchilardan biri Fedor Yemelyanenkodir–Fabio Maldonado fight result to a draw, in addition to terminating its Head of Judges, Radmir Gabdullin.

WMMAA president Vadim Finkelchtein
Vadim, talk us through the appeal process. Why did you accept it in the first place since Russian MMA Union rejected Maldonado manager’s appeal?
VF: “Everyone could see what was going on in the media and MMA community after the bout. Being the founder of both the Russian MMA Union and World MMA Association, I received tons of messages and calls from people demanding an explanation about how it was possible for Russian MMA Union employees to officiate their own boss’ jang. I read hundreds of negative comments disparaging the Russian MMA Union and WMMAA. Some even went so far to say it was about Russian Mafia doing business there, all Russian judges are bought, etc. I tried to stay away from this debacle, since the fight occurred in another promotion, but when Maldonado’s manager sent an appeal to the WMMAA, asking to reassess the fight outcome, we couldn’t say no. WMMAA’s reputation was on the line as well as that of the Russian MMA scene, ham.”
What did the process of choosing the reassessment commission look like and why was head judge Radmir Gabdullin suspended?
VF: “Asosan, I had to make Radmir, as the WMMAA’s head judge, responsible for the whole process. Ammo, since he was one of the reasons the appeal surfaced in the first place, the most logical decision was to suspend him temporarily and appoint WMMAA’s Secretary General (Alexander Engelhardt) to handle it.”
In his recent interview, Radmir Gabdullin belittled the significance of WMMAA’s verdict, stating it was all unofficial and that he had never received any appeal.
VF: “There’s nothing to comment about here. It’s a pure lie. I don’t understand what he was trying to accomplish by saying something like this. If necessary, I can show the manager’s e-mail with Russian MMA Union employees, Kamil Gadzhiev and WMMAA employees as recipients. Saying he’s never received an appeal is absurd and a silly excuse.”
At the same time he insulted the professionals that reassessed the fight by calling them incompetent.
VF: “When I read it my first reaction was vast disappointment. How could he, as the official head judge, state something like this towards his colleagues who he knows really well? He used to officiate multiple events with them. Their experience is ten or maybe even hundred times greater than Radmir’s. Marco Broersen has been officiating major European events, including KSW, M-1 Global and many others, uchun 15 yil. He’d been working in this field when Radmir was still in school. It’s a shame for him to say something like that. It’s degrading for both Radmir and the Russian MMA Union.”
Can you explain why 24-year-old Radmir had been chosen to become the head judge in both WMMAA and Russian MMA Union having no experience or appropriate education whatsoever?
VF: “Bilasiz, it all started back in 2010-2011, when I decided to start developing amateur MMA in order to provide thousands of young athletes with career opportunities. For that to happen the MMA Union in Russia was necessary, as well as official recognition of Mixed Martial Arts as a sport. It was hard. I had no experience working in a Federation; plenty of paper work. We lacked a qualified staff when we started to look for people. I offered Fedor Emelianenko to be the Union president with me heading the WMMAA. Gabdullin’s name was mentioned by Fedor. He said there was this young and promising guy, let’s see what he can do. I agreed completely, although I realized he had neither experience nor knowledge.”
What was your reaction to Kamil Gadzhiev’s comments claiming in each interview that a draw was the best outcome, but after the result was changed by Sherdog following the WMMAA’s verdict, he changed his mind and promised to call and mail Sherdog to protest its action?
VF: “I had a phone chat with Kamil. He made it clear that he trusts the WMMAA and Russian MMA Union, while repeating his personal opinion that the draw would be the most righteous decision. I don’t know why his words were not consequently supported by his deeds.”
Russian MMA Union has a lot of officials. Hali, no one would comment on the situation, including Fedor himself. Nima sababdan?
VF: “I can’t answer this question. Most important for me is justice and reputation and that holds for Russian MMA and WMMAA, ham. I couldn’t choose sides, which is the reason why an international commission of judges was created. No one tried to take the other man’s victory, as some have claimed in comments. As the WMMAA president, I feel ashamed the situation went that far. The vast majority of the leading MMA sites supported the WMMAA’s verdict; Sherdog changed the outcome. Another example is the Match TV poll result, in which 56-percent of Russian voters said Fedor didn’t win the fight. "Big’ John Makkarti said it. Sergey Kharitonov,Alexey Oleinik and many others have said the same. People who have been cheering for Fedor for years realized that. And now we have one person stating the opposite, saying our decision is unofficial, that experienced judges have become incompetent in no time, and he’d never received an appeal. That’s a sad situation and we need to handle it appropriately. The world awaits sound and reasoned decisions but gets excuses and lies instead. Our reputation is on the line because of that.”

The Long Beach, Calif. native will bring his flashy skillset just down the 91 Freeway to Honda Center, where he will have the opportunity to put on a show in front of his hometown fans.

After beginning his professional career 12-0, Corrales will enter the cage for the second time this year in search of his first win under the direction of Bellator MMA.

Heading into his 11th fight under the Bellator MMA banner, the 28-year-old “Highlight Kid” looks to put on a stand-out performance in Bellator’s incredibly deep featherweight division.
