Lewiston, Majno (Januaro 10, 2018) – Kreskante en la sama blua-kolumo komunumo kaj antaŭante tra la sama, famkonata sportoj programo ne nepre faras du viroj plej bonaj amikoj.

 

 

 

Iama Mountain Valley High School samteamanoj, kaj estontaj Nova Anglio Fights miksita luktosporto oponantoj, Ryan Burgess kaj Nate Boucher estas pruvo de la malnova maksimo, “familiareco reproduktiĝas malestimo.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, kaj Boucher, 21, batalos en amatora muŝapeza atako ĉe "NEF 32: Ekstra Sabato?? Sur Sabato, Februaro 3. La batalo ĉe Androscoggin Banko Colisee determinos la numero unu defianto en la 125-funta divido, kaj gajni la venkinto titolon pafis kontraŭ ĉampiono Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Ĝi estis preskaŭ jaro ekde Burgess, trifoja Majno mezlernejo luktado ĉampiono kaj preter NEF titolita, marŝis en la kaĝo. Li nomis NEF kunposedanto kaj edzperisto Matt Peterson kaj specife petis la Boucher batalo.

 

 

 

Kial? Unuflanke, ĝi estis komerca decido post Boucher la proksimaj, disdivido decido perdo al Witham en novembro batalo por la titolo.

 

 

 

"Mi estis ekstere dum jaro. Mi estis esperanta por salti dekstra reen en titolo batalo,"Burgess klarigis. "Post Nate batalon kun Witham, Mi sciis ke li volas la tuja rematĉon. Iam ĝi iĝis evidente ke ne okazos ĝis aprilo, Mi demandis se ni povus fari tion batalo en februaro, kaj Nate prenis ĝin. "

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) poste lanĉita unu-du sociaj amaskomunikiloj grenadoj kiuj ŝajnis indiki iun nivelon de malkonkordo al sia kamarado Falcon. Verŝajne malpli persona ol taktikaj; Burgess sentis eblecon ekspluati kion li vidas kiel unu el la fendetoj en Boucher la kiraso.

 

 

 

"Nate, ekde kiam li estis infano, havas pis-malriĉa sinteno kiam perdas. Mi esperas konfuzu lin iomete kaj fari certa, ke li ne devas zorgi pri tio batalo ricevas en la manoj de la juĝistoj,"Burgess diris. "Nate verŝajne povus estinti du- aŭ tri-tempa ŝtata ĉampiono se li tion mem la ŝancon fari tion. Se li ankoraŭ havas la saman sintenon li havis tiutempe, ĝi tuj finos same. "

 

 

 

Burgess estas unu el nur kvar tri-tempa stato ĉampionoj en MVHS historio. Coincidentally, Boucher frato, Etan, ankaŭ plenumita la heroaĵon.

 

 

 

Boucher, kiuj jam prenis el kvarfoja Majno mezlernejo mato ĉampiono, kaj dufoja Nova Anglio finalisto, Jeremia Barkac de Dexter dum lia tempo en la NEF seslatero, aspektas kaj sonas kiel malsama karaktero ol tiu, kiu luktis for de la mato kiel adoleskanto.

 

 

 

Post gajni sian unuan du bataloj facile, Boucher (2-1) ne estis la sola en la konstruaĵo kiu sentis li jam faris sufiĉe por gajni la zonon en Portland.

 

 

 

"Mi pensis, ke mi kontrolis la unuaj du preterpasas de la batalo. ĉiuj tri, vere. La unuaj du mi preskaux havis (Witham) sufokis eksteren,"Boucher diris. "Ĝi finis estante lernado sperto por mi, ke vi ne povas forlasi la batalon al la juĝistoj. La granda afero pri la amatora vicoj estas, dum kompreneble mi zorgas pri mia disko, fine de la tago, ĝi estas parto de la procezo de lernado por fari vin pli bona profesia. "

 

 

 

Responde al Burgess’ salvo en Facebook, Boucher pridemandis la antaŭa ĉampiono konduto post gajni la NEF rimeno du bataloj en lian karieron.

 

 

 

"Mi ne estas multe por la rubujon parolado. Mi nur ĝuas la sporto. Mi ŝatas batali kaj poste simple iri hejmen. Li faras ĝin iom konstrui sian egoon mi pensas,"Boucher diris. "Li faligis la zonon ĉar li havas problemojn farante pezo, kiuj estas sufiĉe malrespekta, miaopinie. Estis ekstere dum momento, tiel nun mi antaŭ li, kaj li scias, li devas iri tra mi. "

 

 

 

Burgess diris li uzis ke maldungo por kompletigi sian kolegioedukon kaj evoluigi sian akreditaĵojn kiel fizika terapiisto asistanto, indikante ke la medicina profesio estas pli verŝajne esti lia longtempa kariero ol MMA.

 

 

 

Dum li daŭrigis sian trejnadon horaro en Rumford Komunuma Centro kun Berserkers MMA, Burgess diris ĝin estis malpli intensa kaj strukturita antaŭ sia perdoj kontraŭ Witham kaj Dustin Veinott. Burgess antaŭe venkis ambaŭ rivaloj.

 

 

 

"Fizike mi ankoraŭ devus esti batita ilin, sed mense mi ne estis tiel preta kiel mi devus esti. Nun mi estas multe pli enfokusigitaj,"Burgess diris. "Tiutempe mi estis finante lernejo, laboranta partatempan 20 Al 30 horoj semajne kaj iranta al lernejo por probable alia 40. Mi perdis du bataloj kie mi estis sub pezo. Mi estis gajnante pezo dum la alia uloj estis rikoltantaj pezo. Mi iros tien je la limo kaj ili surmetis 10 Al 15 funtoj inter la pezi-en kaj la batalo. "

 

 

 

Boucher rekoni neniam atingis sian potencialon kiel mezlernejo luktisto. Li sekvis malsaman padon ol Burgess, rekrutado en Centra Majno Brazila ĵuĵicuo - kie li daŭre trejnas hodiaŭ - en la aĝo 13.

 

 

 

"Mi havas kelkajn el la plej malmolaj kaj plej bonan trejnadon partneroj en la stato,"Boucher diris. "Mia jiu-jitsu venis longan vojon, preskaŭ la punkto kie pasis mia luktado iomete. Certe, luktado estas kion mi ĉiam revenu al kiam mi bezonas ĝin. Mia okulfrapa estas nokta kaj hodiaŭ. Estis terura pro mia unua batalo. "

 

 

 

Li aldonis, ke lia plej granda sukceso en MMA venis je la kosto de iamaj luktistoj.

 

 

 

Burgess kalkulas pri Boucher subtaksi la reston de lia repertuaro. Kiel iu, kiu prenis luktadon en la meza lernejo junior varsity teamo en sepa grado, Li diris, ke lia historio kiel rapida studo transportitaj al regno de jiu-jitsu kaj boksado.

 

 

 

"Mi kredas ke li estas iranta esti surprizita. Li pensas ke li scias kion mi alportos al la tablo,"Burgess diris. "Ĉiuj li scias pri mi, estas mia luktado, sed mi havas multe pli ol tio fali reen sur. Mi jam scias, kion li alportas al la tablo. Kaj li ne iras por lerni en du monatoj kion mi lernis en du jaroj.?

MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST

Lasi rimarkon

Mike Hansen

Lewiston, Majno (Junio 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, anywhere, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.

No surprise, tiam, that the 30-year-old father of three from Rumford, ME will gladly entertain the idea of a mixed martial arts contest … against an opponent about whom he admittedly knows precious little … on the eve of Father’s Day.

Hansen (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Promised Land” on Sabato, Junio 18 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

There is no fear of the unknown in a man who has carved out his reputation confronting substantially bigger foes since his days as a state champion wrestler at Mountain Valley High School. During his relatively short time in NEF, Hansen has fought as a middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.

“When I took the fight (at NEF 23 in Massachusetts) against Brendan Battles, people were saying, ‘You’re crazy! He’s going to bust your head!’ I understand why the weight classes exist, and I respect that it’s about safety and all that, but I’ve always felt that a fighter should be ready to fight anybody, no matter what,” Hansen said. “In high school, I would drink two gallons of water and put lead in my uniform just so I could get to the minimum weight for the unlimited class.”

That’s the attitude of a fighter whose skill and talent level far exceed his current record as a professional.

Hansen’s docket includes a stoppage win over former NEF “Fighter of the Year” Crowsneck Boutin. His record also includes TKO losses to Battles and Cody Anderson and a choke-out at the hands of Zach Elkins.

When he reflects upon his unique life story, Hansen, who fought twice for the World Fighting League as a 20-year-old college student, marvels that he ever got back into the cage at all.

“I started the winter of 2004-05. I started training because I had gone from 187 Al 242 pounds in a few months. I was seeing stretch marks,” Hansen recalled. “I was pretty upset with myself for allowing that to happen. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu two nights a week to get in shape. Then I went home for the summer and ended up with my first fight in August. My friends got me the fight without my coaches knowing about it. They told me it was a good thing I won, or they would have kicked my butt.”

Hansen kept a promise to his father to quit the sport after a knockout loss to Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. He was studying at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, with intentions to enter the medical field.

He was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat by three men in a case of mistaken identity not long thereafter. “I walked out of the hospital the next day, and all three of them were still in there from the beating I gave them in self-defense,” Hansen said proudly.

That dogged determination served Hansen well in the United States Army, where he studied in the elite Combatives program.

“They ask you ‘Who wins the fight?’ and the answer is, ‘Whoever’s buddy gets there first to help him clean up.’ That’s what Combatives taught me: How to survive that extra 30 Al 60 Sekundoj,” Hansen said. “Work ethic is what it taught me. It helped me grow and do things I might have questioned mentally whether or not I could do. Not many people find that extra little motivation. The Army taught me how to find it and utilize it.”

A few years later, Hansen found that inner fire again. Even as he returned to coaching wrestlers in his hometown, his own physical fitness suffered as work and fatherhood took precedence.

Hansen vividly describes sitting in a bean bag chair, eating snack food, watching TV at 2:11 .M. when his phone rang. He assumed it was a friend in trouble.

“It was (NEF co-owner) Matt Peterson. Our families grew up maybe 200 yards apart. My high school wrestling coach had called him, unbeknownst to me, to tell him he needed to get me back in the cage,” Hansen said.

Three weeks later Kaj 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.

En la 15 months that have followed, Hansen has been instrumental in launching Berserkers MMA and building his reputation as both a fighter and an instructor.

Life is blossoming at home, also. Hansen is the father of two girls, ages 5 Kaj 2, and a boy of four months. His older daughter, Kaydn, often accompanies Dad to the gym at Greater Rumford Community Center. He returns the favor by chaperoning field trips for her kindergarten class.

“She and her friends will be on the playground practicing boxing stances and stuff,” Hansen said. “Her teacher says it’s adorable. Hopefully she is learning to take care of herself so I don’t have to.”

Kaydn’s parents are making plans to take her to her first live NEF show after she turns 6. Nuntempe, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.

“If we’re watching TV together,” Hansen said, “we have a thing where I get two shows and then she gets two shows. If I put in a fight tape, she’ll say, ‘Daddy, I know this doesn’t count as one of your shows, because this is your work.’”

MATT GLOVER FINDS FUTURE IN FIGHTING AFTER FOOTBALL

Lasi rimarkon

Lewiston, Majno (Aprilo 22, 2016) – During the years 2003-2006, Matt Glover (1-0) Estis La player from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine that you did Ne want to end up facing from the other side of the pigskin. Standing over six feet tall and weighing 250-pounds, the nightmarish middle linebacker helped to build Mountain Valley (MV) into a modern day football dynasty by punishing ball carriers for four decorated years and leading MV to two state championships in the process. He bench pressed over 400 pounds in the weight room and was hell on wheels on the field making him a powerful two-way double-threat player on both offense and defense. His reputation is legendary in the River Valley area of Western Maine as a feared and respected athlete.

 

After graduating from Mountain Valley in 2007, Glover left football behind to go to work. He married his longtime girlfriend, Lindsey, and had a son. They bought a home together. Throughout the summer and fall seasons, he traveled the agricultural fair circuit in Maine with his pulling horses, a family tradition he had been brought up in from an early age.

 

“My family has been competing in horse pulling since I was a kid,” Glover explained. “It takes up a lot of time and it keeps my dad young. I get up early every morning to exercise my horse teams before I go into work at night. Between my dad, my wife and I, we have 11 draft horses. We bale our own hay for all of them. I love backing them up to the drag and watching them dig.”

 

But despite the fullness of his life, the call of competition still beckoned to him and left him with a sense of longing. “I would have killed to have had that same feeling again,” Glover recalled. “And then I stepped into the cage.”

 

In early 2015, Matt’s younger brother, Ryan—another Mountain Valley football standout—made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut at “NEF 16.” Ryan swarmed his opponent in his first fight and stopped him in a blistering 12 Sekundoj. Matt was in attendance that night and found his curiosity piqued at the prospect of competing in a different kind of contact sport.

 

Later in 2015, Ryan competed for the inaugural NEF Amateur Heavyweight Championship. He dropped a decision that night to current title holder, Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1). After the win, the trash talk quickly escalated between Leahy and members of Berserkers MMA, based out of Rumford and led by head coaches Gary Dolloff and Mike Hansen (3-3). “When Billy Leahy called out all of the guys at Berserkers after he beat my brother, then it was game-on,” recalled Matt.

 

Matt began training closely with members of the Berserkers coaching staff, including Hansen and others, who he credits for his accelerated learning curve in the sport. Cetere, Matt sparred extensively with brother Ryan, who was preparing for a fight of his own on the same night that Matt was scheduled to make his MMA debut. “My brother and I are not like other brothers,” Matt explained. “We go into the gym and beat the hell out of each other and then ride home in the same truck—that’s just how we have always been. Push, push, push—everything is competition with us. From the first one to get to the next hay bale in the hay field to the first one to get to the supper table—it’s just how we operate.”

 

“Matt’s a real competitive person,” his wife, Lindsey, confirmed. “Everything is a competition with him. I knew that cagefighting would feed that competitive hunger that he feels all the time when he’s not pulling his horses.”

 

Matt officially made his MMA debut back in February at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” against durable veteran Gravin Guillen (2-5). Matt exceeded debut expectations by finishing Guillen in just 1:30 of the first round by technical knockout (TKO). When the ref cleared the scene, Guillen’s face showed the effects of Glover’s record-breaking exploits in the weight room. Glover’s Rumford fans that were in attendance in heavy numbers that night, voiced their approval in thunderous applause. "Unue, I had butterflies,” Glover remembered, “but once I heard all the people cheering, all it did was pump me up. I was ready to fight. Win or lose, I knew they had my back and more.”

 

This weekend, Glover is poised to make his second appearance in the NEF cage when he takes on 6’6” Ras Hylton (1-0) from rival gym, Unua Klasa MMA. Hylton made his debut on the same night as Glover and, like his challenger this weekend, made quick work of his opponent by earning a TKO victory at 1:21 De la unua rondo.

 

Berserkers MMA Founder and Head Coach, Mike Hansen, predicts a dominant night for Glover. “Matt happens to be much stronger than he even appears, which is incredible if you have ever seen him,” Hansen stated. “A guy of his size normally struggles with agility, but Matt doesn’t. He is a super athlete and easy to coach. Matt improves daily and will be a juggernaut in the heavyweight amateur division.

 

“Ras is used to being the bigger guy in all of his fights. That will not be the case on Saturday night. Matt will put his hands on Hylton in a way he’s never been touched before. I don’t see Ras walking away from this fight with his hand held high. He should consider it a win if he can walk away at all when Matt’s done with him.”

 

Going into Sabato Nokto, Glover feels well prepared to continue building on his success in the sport of MMA that he started to create back in February. If his athletic history is any indicator, he should be confident in the future. “I’m ready for this fight,” Glover stated. “In this fight, I’m more relaxed because my brother’s not fighting and I can just focus on my fight… After that first win, I knew I was hooked because there’s no better feeling.”

 

“When people first started speaking to Matt about competing in MMA, I was completely against it 110%,” Lindsey stated. “But after watching him train so hard with the guys in the gym and seeing that he has the same passion for that as he does for his horse pulling, I felt more at ease and decided that if this was something he wanted to pursue, I would support him in any way that I possibly could.

 

“The Glover brothers fighting in MMA is a big thing for Rumford,” Lindsey stated in closing. “Every time it’s getting close to fight night, this town comes alive. No matter where he goes within the sport, this town and his family support him.”

Mike “The Mustache” Hansen (3-3) subskribis al vizaĝo Jesse “La Barbaro” Baughman (0-1) at a fight weight of 205-pounds.

He is an alumni of Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) where he won a state championship wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. After restarting his career with a record of 2-1, Hansen dropped his first bout of 2016 to Zach Elkins (1-1) Lasta monato. He will look to rebound from that loss on Aprilo 23.

 

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the cage fast coming off this loss,” said Hansen. “I wasn’t mentally in that fight, so this time around with Baughman, I’m going to be mentally focused. Jesse is a big guy and a tough fighter – and he seems like a guy I could get along with. Tiel, when we are done smashing each other up, hopefully we can get a drink.”

 

Like Hansen, Baughman is a United States military veteran, where he served in a recon unit of the special forces and earned a level-three certification in Army combatives. He is currently a member of Team Link based out of Hooksett, Nov-Hampŝiro.

“Sur April 23rd, I’m looking forward to getting back in there and putting on a show,” said Baughman. “My fans from New Hampshire want to see a war – and best believe they will!
