Laisser un commentaire

Bangor, Maine (Décembre 6, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) tiendra son prochain événement mixtes arts martiaux, “NEF 37: sub Zero,” vendredi, Février 1, 2019 au Centre Croix-Assurance à Bangor, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title fight to the card. Fred Lear (6-2) doit se réunir Zac Richard (3-0) for the vacant 145-pound championship.

Fred Lear will look to replicate the success he had the last time he fought in Bangor. In August 2017, Lear captured the amateur bantamweight strap with a second-round technical knockout of Walt Shea (3-1) at the Cross Insurance Center.

Lear has had a stellar amateur career fighting out of Young’s MMA in Bangor. Prior to competing in mixed-martial-arts, Lear wrestled for John Bapst High School also based in the Queen City. He has won his last three in a row in the MMA cage. Should Lear win the featherweight title, he will become the first competitor in NEF history to hold championships in multiple weight divisions.

“This title fight is an opportunity to develop and grow,” said Lear. “An undefeated opponent with nothing but finishes, I like it—it’s polarizing. I want to turn professional. This is how I get better, that’s all I’m focused on.”

Like Lear, Zac Richard brought a wrestling background with him to the MMA cage. He won a state championship in 2015 competing for Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine. Richard now trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under head coach, current UFC competitor, et ancien champion léger NEF professionnel, Devin Powell (9-4).  Richard has finished all three of his previous opponents in the first round.

“Je suis très excité pour ce combat,” a déclaré Richard. “The belt is great and all, but it’s just a stepping stone to my goals. I think this is a great opportunity for me to really show the hard work I put in. This fight camp is going to be extremely different for me and I cannot wait to have that cage locked. This fight will be just past the year mark of when I started training in MMA. It’s just the beginning.”

prochain événement mixte arts martiaux de NEF, “NEF 37: SUB ZERO,” aura lieu le vendredi, Février 1, 2019 au Centre Croix-Assurance à Bangor, Maine avec un temps de cloche de 8 pm. Tickets are on-sale now atwww.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Septembre 27, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) tiendra sa dernière épreuve-arts martiaux mixtes de 2018, “NEF 36: Bataille pour l'or,” Samedi, Novembre 17 à Aura à Portland, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card. Mohamed Al Kinani (4-1) est prévue pour faire face à Jamie Sprague (0-0) à un poids de combat de 155 livres-.

 

 

 

Mohammad Al Kinani will look to rebound from the first loss of his amateur career against Ramano Medina (5-0) last summer in New Hampshire. Avant cette date, Al Kinani had won the first four fights of his career, the most recent three emphatically by first-round knockout. Il est un parfait 2-0 dans la cage NEF. Al Kinani is a member of Evolution Athletix, a team housed in a brand new, state-of-the-art training facility opened earlier this year just off Route 1 in Saco, Maine.

 

 

 

“Jamie is definitely dangerous, but I always go in there knowing my opponent is dangerous,” Al Kinani stated. “I’d like to think I am too. More than ever. I’m feeling extremely sharp and I know I can bring in all the heat to that cage. Sprague has been training for a long time under one of the best schools in the area and probably thinks I’m an easy win, but I have been training and putting in more work than ever with the best of the best to come back from a first recent loss. He will understand the pressure of being locked up in there with me. I’m ready to shock everyone November 17th.”

 

 

 

Despite his lack of cage competition experience, Jamie Sprague is no newcomer to the combat sports world. As Al Kinani indicated, Sprague has trained for some time in the martial arts. He holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and is a member of Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire under current UFC competitor, and former NEF Pro Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (9-3).

 

 

 

“Mo’s a tough guy,” said Sprague, “no doubt about that. But with all due respect, Je veux faire une déclaration. I want his neck.”

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Septembre 13, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) tiendra sa dernière épreuve-arts martiaux mixtes de 2018, “NEF 36: Bataille pour l'or,” Samedi, Novembre 17 à Aura à Portland, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight title fight to the card. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (6-2) is scheduled to meet Bill Jones (13-10) for the vacant NEF Professional Featherweight Championship.

Lacey is coming off one of the biggest wins of his professional career to date. Last weekend at “NEF 35” before his hometown fans in Bangor, Maine, Lacey submitted Jon Lemke (7-9) just under two minutes into the first round. It was a rebound win for Lacey who lost a decision to a very tough Da’Mon Blackshear (5-2) earlier this summer in Portland. À “NEF 36,” Lacey will look to capture gold in the promotion for the second time – he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title at “NEF 20” en Novembre 2015 in what would be his final amateur fight. Lacey is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor.

“I’m excited to be fighting for this strap,” écria Lacey. “I was NEF’s first amateur 145-pound champion and I look forward to being one of the first people to hold amateur and professional belts for New England Fights! I have a very formidable and experienced opponent, but this belt has been calling my name for a long time and I am going to take what I have worked for all along!"

Bill Jones is one of the pioneers of the New England MMA scene, having competed in the region since 2007. He holds wins over some of the top fighters ever to come out of the area such as UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-9) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-9). Jones has competed at the national level for the World Series of Fighting (WSOF). Like Lacey, he also holds a first-round submission of Jon Lemke to his credit. À “NEF 33″ in Portland last spring, Jones was victorious over Matt Denning (5-8) via KO technique au deuxième tour. He is currently a member of Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

“I’m at my most dangerous when I’m focused—and you best believe that I’ll be bringing a whole new level of commitment to my camp with the NEF Featherweight title on the line, a belt that I’ve had my eyes on for a long, longtemps,” stated Jones. “I have a lot left in the tank and I’m out to prove in this fight that I’m no journeyman—I’m hard work for anyone that wants some. I can’t wait to be back in the NEF cage and put on a show for everyone!"

DEUXIEME COMBAT DE FEMMES ANNONCÉ POUR LE NEF 36 À PORTLAND, MAINE

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Septembre 12, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) tiendra sa dernière épreuve-arts martiaux mixtes de 2018, “NEF 36: Bataille pour l'or,” Samedi, Novembre 17 à Aura à Portland, Maine. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, la promotion du combat a annoncé l'ajout d'un combat de poids mouche amateur féminin à la carte. B.J. Garceau (1-0) doit affronter Chelsea Tucker (0-3) à un poids de combat de 125 livres-.

B.J. Garceau a fait la une des journaux nationaux plus tôt cette année alors qu'elle se préparait à ses débuts en cage avec NEF. Diagnostiqué de diabète juvénile de type 1 1993, Garceau est devenu une source d'inspiration pour ceux de la communauté diabétique qui cherchent à pratiquer les arts martiaux. À “NEF 32” février dernier, elle a parcouru la distance avec Sarah Ziehm (1-2) dans un concours de va-et-vient, remportant finalement la victoire par décision partagée sur les juges’ tableaux de bord. Garceau est membre du MMA Young basé à Bangor, Maine.

“Quand Coach (Chris) Young m'a demandé si j'étais libre le 17 novembre, Je pensais qu'il voulait que je sois la fille de l'eau pour les gars sur la carte,” Garceau a plaisanté. “Je dis ça en plaisantant, mais nous avons eu du mal à trouver des matchs pour la WMMA des jeunes (arts martiaux mixtes féminins) équipe dans le passé. Moi et mes filles avons faim de se battre. Alors quand il a demandé si je combattrais Chelsea, qui est un guerrier qui ne recule devant rien, bien sûr, ma réponse a été «oui.’ J'adore Chelsea et je suis prêt à faire un putain de spectacle pour les fans, mon équipe et la belle ville de Portland, Maine en novembre.”

L'observateur occasionnel ne devrait pas laisser le record de Chelsea Tucker les tromper. Décousu, talentueux et plein de cœur, Tucker est venue se battre à chaque fois qu'elle est entrée dans la cage. Elle est apparue quatre fois dans la cage NEF, y compris un match de grappling non sanctionné avec Carol Linn Powell qui a fait match nul en avril dernier à Portland. Tucker sert fièrement son pays en tant que spécialiste culinaire avec les garde-côtes américains stationnés à Boothbay, Maine. Elle s'entraîne avec First Class MMA à Brunswick, Maine.

“Je suis très excité de revenir dans la cage,” dit Tucker. “J'ai hâte de combattre B.J. Cela va être un grand combat, et j'ai hâte de représenter mon gymnase et mes compétences à nouveau dans la cage NEF.”

prochain événement mixte arts martiaux de NEF, “NEF 36: Bataille pour l'or,” verra la société faire son retour à Aura à Portland, Maine. L'événement devrait avoir lieu le samedi, Novembre 17, 2018 avec un temps de cloche 7 h. Les billets sont en vente maintenant sur www.AuraMaine.com.

CRESPO OUT, MURPHY EN CONTRE ARNOLD EN NEF TITRE FIGHT

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Mai 31, 2018) - Plus tôt cette semaine, Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) les responsables ont été informés que Mike Crespo avait été blessé lors de son camp de combat et serait incapable de soutenir la concurrence à “NEF 34: Home of the Brave” sur Juin 16 à Portland. Crespo avait été initialement prévue pour faire face Kam Arnold (3-0) pour le titre vacant NEF MMA amateur Championnat des poids coq. Killian Murphy (1-0) a intensifié pour remplacer Crespo et prendre Arnold à Aura pour le titre de 135 livres dans une affaire prévue de cinq rondes.

Murphy a fait ses débuts à “NEF 33” le mois dernier à Portland avec une victoire impressionnante sur Krishna Scott (0-1) par l'intermédiaire du premier tour KO technique. Il est pas étranger au cercle du vainqueur. Murphy est un ancien champion de lutte de l'État du Maine, ayant capturé un titre de classe A pour Marshwood High School à Elliott dans 2015. Aujourd'hui, il forme avec Nostos MMA à Somersworth, New Hampshire sous la direction de l'UFC signee, et ancien champion léger NEF professionnel, Devin Powell (8-3). Murphy était initialement prévue pour rivaliser avec Gabriel Diaz de la Floride à “NEF 34,” mais Diaz a sorti de ce combat plus tôt ce mois-ci.

«C'est un tour passionnant d'événements pour finir par se battre pour la ceinture de 135 livres,” dit Murphy. “L'objectif quand j'ai commencé ce voyage était de gagner cette ceinture – et je suis reconnaissant pour cette occasion. Je tiens à remercier NEF, mes entraîneurs, mes coéquipiers et les supporters. 16 juin, Je prends cette maison de ceinture Nostos « .

Peut-être aucun autre membre de la liste de NEF a eu la course au cours des douze derniers mois que Kam Arnold a eu. Il a coupé à travers trois adversaires au premier tour comme un couteau chaud dans du beurre, y compris un onze KO au deuxième du vétéran David Thompson le mois dernier à “NEF 33.” Arnold est membre du jiu-jitsu brésilien Central Maine de Lewiston, Maine.

"Tout d'abord, Je veux juste dire « merci » à Killian d'avoir accepté ce combat, et aussi à Matt Peterson pour moi de trouver un autre adversaire,” dit Arnold lorsqu'il est atteint pour commentaires. “Killian est un plein de promesses, combattant excitante – et je suis très heureux d'entrer en conflit avec lui. Je sais qu'il va venir prêt et il va chercher à secouer cette division et faire une déclaration. Je vais continuer à travailler dur, faire un ajustement à la stratégie et aller balles à la paroi à partir de là. Ce sera un grand combat – et je serai prochain champion de 135 livres de NEF « .

« Rien ne me excite plus que quand un athlète sur les étapes et saisit court préavis l'occasion de saisir la gloire – et que de ce que Killian Murphy a fait en acceptant de prendre ce combat contre un animal invaincue comme Kam Arnold,” a déclaré NEF co-propriétaire et agent de liaison Matt Peterson. “Kam a regardé imparable depuis qu'il a fait ses débuts il y a moins d'un an – et maintenant nous arrivons à lui-même tester voir contre un lutteur décoré pour avoir une chance d'or NEF. Comme si cette carte n'a pas déjà été feux d'artifice – maintenant on arrive à voir deux goujons invaincus essayer de frapper les uns les autres au cours d'un combat de championnat de cinq rondes. Il ne peut pas faire mieux que cela!"

VACANT BANTAMWEIGHT TITLE TO BE DECIDED AT NEF 34 À PORTLAND

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Mai 1, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) retourne à Aura à Portland, Maine avec son prochain événement mixtes arts martiaux, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” Samedi nuit, Juin 16, 2018. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight championship bout to the card. Kam Arnold (3-0) se réunira Michael Crespo (3-3) for the vacant NEF amateur 135-pound title. The championship was previously held by Fred Lear (6-2) who vacated when he turned professional. The bout between Arnold and Crespo will make history as the first five-round amateur title fight in both NEF and Maine history. All previous amateur championship fights had been scheduled for three rounds.

Undefeated Kam Arnold has been on a hot streak since his debut in the summer of 2017. The product of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) à Lewiston, Maine has cut through all three of his previous opponents with little resistance. None have made it past the two-minute mark of the first round with Arnold. It took him a mere 11-seconds to knock out David Thompson with a single punch at “NEF 33” last month in Portland. Arnold considers the opportunity to fight for the bantamweight title the highlight of his fight career thus far.

“I’m ecstatic for the opportunity to bring Lewiston back a title,” dit Arnold. “Everything I’ve gone through in my life has led me to this exact moment. I’ve always said, even way back when I was a young lad, that I’m going to be champion one day. To be living the vision that I’ve had since being a small boy is just absolutely mind blowing. I’m great at what I do, and I will continue to prove everyone wrong – all the naysayers and doubters. To all the people who have bullied me and talked s**t about my passion over the years, here’s a big ‘f**k you.’ I’m taking this one fight at a time, and I will continue this streak that I’m on. Chaque combat, I want to go in there and just pulverize my opponent to the point that they never want to fight again. I’m the king of 135 and Crespo is going to feel the devastating power and strength I have on 16 juin. If you even dream about beating me, you better wake up and apologize!"

Michael Crespo, “Croustillant” to his fans and teammates, is a six-fight veteran of the NEF cage. A perpetual contender for the bantamweight title over the years, Crespo’s biggest win came at “NEF 18” when he upset Caleb Costello (3-4) par décision unanime. He is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine.

“Fighting for the 135 title is a great opportunity and a chance to showcase my style and skill against a formidable fighter,” said Crespo when reached for comment. “It’s a great opportunity to not only showcase my weapons, but to also solidify myself within the NEF talent pool as someone to be reckoned with. Let’s make it a show, Kam!”

prochain événement mixte arts martiaux de NEF, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” aura lieu à Aura à Portland, Maine samedi, Juin 16, 2018. Les billets sont en vente en ligne à www.AuraMaine.com.

Laisser un commentaire

Portland, Maine (Avril 30, 2018) - Combats Nouvelle-Angleterre (NEF) retourne à Aura à Portland, Maine avec son prochain événement mixtes arts martiaux, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” Samedi nuit, Juin 16, 2018. Plus tôt aujourd'hui,, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Ernesto Ornelas (3-7) a signé à face Carl Langston (0-1) à un poids de combat de 135 livres-.

The bout will be a rematch of their fight in Portland earlier this month. Ornelas and Langston initially met at “NEF 33” sur Avril 14 at Aura. Ornelas, a member of Portland’s The Choi Institute, put on an impressive showing for the duration of three rounds on his way to a unanimous decision win on the judges’ tableaux de bord. The victory was Ornelas’ first in the NEF cage with four previous attempts since the promotion’s inception in February 2012. (He holds a record of 1-0 as a professional in the NEF boxing ring as well.) Not only is Ornelas predicting another win over Langston on Juin 16 – he promises to finish his foe this time.

“Carl said his nerves got the better of him that night. Ne Pas, they didn’t – je got the better of him, once I stepped into that cage and took the center and looked him in the eye,” said Ornelas imperatively. “I saw fear. A true fighter has no fear. Juin 16, he will see what a true fighter looks like, as he looks up at me from the flat of his back.”

Le “NEF 33” bout with Ornelas was Langston’s pro debut after a lengthy amateur career that spanned 16 fights and more than four years. Many of his friends and family had turned out for the event in his hometown of Portland. And while Langston did force Ornelas to the scorecards, the Young’s MMA member was disappointed in his own performance, blaming the loss on nerves. He immediately asked NEF matchmakers for a rematch against Ornelas on the Juin 16 Portland card.

“I couldn’t be more excited about getting this rematch,” declared Langston. “I asked for this rematch the same night I lost to Ernie. I just wasn’t me that night. It was my first pro fight and my nerves got to me. I just didn’t feel like myself in there. Cela étant dit, I still took him to a decision being that he had nine pro fights and I was making my pro debut. He still doesn’t bring the skill set and talent that I bring to the cage. This was a big mistake for Ernie to accept this rematch. He got lucky the first time, and I promise I will finish him this time. I know what it feels like being in there with him now, and I will make him fold without a doubt in my mind. He’s a mouthpiece, and I’m going to silence him and his groupies.”
