HOMETOWN PRIDE IS ON THE LINE IN BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLE AT NEF 31

للنشر الفوري: بورتلاند, مين (أغسطس 24, 2017) معارك -New انجلترا (NEF) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland onالجمعة, تشرين الثاني 3, 2017 at Aura with “NEF 31: The Old Port.” في وقت سابق من اليوم, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bantamweight bout to the card. هنري كلارك (3-3) ومن المقرر أن يواجه كارل لانغستون (6-9) في معركة الوزن من 135 جنيه.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. Since his debut in the fall of 2014, Clark has been known for producing exciting moments in the NEF cage. In a memorable bout with Langston’s Young’s MMA teammate, and current NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion, فريد لير (6-2), Clark held onto a triangle choke while Lear viciously slammed him not once but twice. He will look to break a two-fight losing streak with what Clark predicts to be a dominant performance against Langston in front of his hometown fans.

Portland is my town,” declared Clark. “في November 3rd, I’m showing up to prove that. I’ve got a great opponent in Carl who always shows up to fight, but I’m planning on keeping it a dominant, one-sided affair. Truly my only desire is that of violence, my only intention is victory. Both will be achieved.

Like Clark, Carl Langston calls Portland home. With a background in Taekwondo, Langston has thrilled NEF fans on numerous occasions with his prolific striking abilities. He knocked out Alex Johnson (2-3) with a series of violent kicks to the body in Langston’s last NEF appearance. Langston says this will be his last amateur fight before turning professional.

This will be my last amateur fight and there isn’t any better way to go out fighting for NEF’s first card in my hometown in Portland,” stated Langston. “I’m super pumped to be part of this card! بقدر خصمي, he’s a good guy and I have nothing bad to say about him, but come fight time, I’m going to walk through him. He won’t make it out of the second round. He has nothing to offer me.

NEF تبيع مرة أخرى في BANGOR حيث يتألق المقاتلون المحليون في القفص

بانجور, مين (أغسطس 6, 2017) لم يكن هناك مكان مثل المنزل السبت ليلة ل CJ. إبريق, رايان ساندرز وفريد ​​لير من Young’s MMA في بانجور.

القتال أمام قاعة رقص ممتلئة بالكامل على مرمى حجر من مقر التدريب, حقق المقاتلون الثلاثة الموجودون أعلى البطاقة في "Rumble in Bangor" انتصارات رائعة في مركز Cross Insurance Center.

هزم إيوير مايك هانسن “The Moustache” بتقديمه في 1:46 من الجولة الأولى للحصول على لقب الوزن المتوسط ​​الشاغر NEF pro. هبط لير حزام وزن الهواة NEF, بينما شدد ساندرز قبضته على مشهد الوزن الخفيف للمحترفين في نيو إنجلاند في انتصار بدون لقب.

كانت هذه هي عملية البيع الثانية على التوالي في أغسطس في كوين سيتي, تقليد بدأ بـ "NEF Presents Dana White: ينظر في’ من أجل قتال "الصيف الماضي.

بعد فوزه الصعب على جاي إيليس الذي سافر كثيرًا, NEF pro خفيفة الوزن بطل ساندرز, المرتبة لا. 1 في المنطقة, أبقى تعليقاته قصيرة ولطيفة بينما كان ينادي ببطولة Ultimate Fighting المذكورة أعلاه (UFC) رئيس.

"لقد أخذت الرجل الخطأ العام الماضي,قال ساندرز. "تعال خذني الآن."

ساندرز (15-8) لم يكن لديه طريق سهل ضد إليس, مخضرم لأكثر من 80 نوبات للمحترفين. سيطر إليس على ساندرز لمعظم القتال لكنه ترك نفسه عرضة للاختناق المثلث 2:34 الجولة الأولى.

أرسل إوير هانسن بمناورة سريعة مماثلة.

"إنه شعور رائع أن تفوز بها أمام جمهور المضيف,قال إيور. "بقدر ما عملنا (في معسكر التدريب), لم أكن أعتقد أن أي شيء يمكن أن يوقفني ".

أفسدت النهاية المفاجئة آمال هانسن في الفوز باللقب لأول مرة في مسيرته الفنية المختلطة التي استمرت 13 عامًا..

"كان هذا أفضل معسكر تدريبي على الإطلاق. كنا فقط نشعر بالدفء,قال هانسن. "كان لدي الكثير لأقدمه, وأنا متأكد من أن C.J. الكثير من العطاء. ولكن مهلا, يمكننا أن نفعل ذلك مرة أخرى ".

سلط لير الضوء على جزء الهواة من البطاقة بضربة قاضية موثوقة في الجولة الثانية من والت شيا.

فقط الجرس أنقذ Shea من هجوم لير في نهاية الفصل الافتتاحي. اكتسب لير الميزة بضربة في الرأس في منتصف تلك الجولة. بعد إغلاق قضيب ذراع تقريبًا كان يمكن أن ينهي القتال, قام لير بدم الشيا الذي لم يهزم سابقًا بسلسلة من الضربات.

بدت النهاية حتمية عندما احتاج Shea إلى مساعدة Lear لإيجاد ركنه بين الجولات, وهجوم آخر متقطع سارع إلى الإنهاء فقط 14 بعد ثوان.

أشاد لير العاطفي بمدربه, كريس يونغ من Young’s MMA, قبل ربط الحزام حول خصر المدرس.

"يعرف الكثير من الناس اسمه هنا, لكنهم لا يعرفون الرجل,قال لير. "إنه أول رجل في صالة الألعاب الرياضية في الصباح وآخر من يغادر في الليل. إنه سبب وجودنا جميعًا هنا. إنه سبب نجاحنا. إنه السبب الذي يجعل البعض منا ليس في السجن ".

في أول معركتين لجوش جونز’ مهنة MMA للهواة, Jones dispatched his opponents by one-punch knockout in a total of 24 ثواني. It took Carlton Charles one fewer tick of the clock to take out Jones in the stunning conclusion to a touted tangle of former star collegiate athletes.

تشارلز, a product of the University of Maine football program taking his initial walk to the NEF cage, turned the tables on Jones (2-1) in a middleweight scrap. Jones again went for the early stoppage with a pair of looping shots, but Charles calmly ducked them before landing one of his own and taking the issue to the mat.

“I just love the competition,” Charles said. “You don’t get hit in the face like this on the football field.”

When the combatants regained their feet, Charles backed Jones against the cage and landed two right hands to the jaw. Jones dropped to one knee and absorbed a sharp left to the head. That persuaded the referee to step in and stop the fight, a verdict that left Jones and his First Class MMA camp visibly puzzled.

It was Charlessecond one-sided combat sports victory in a week’s time. He previously delivered a first-round TKO in the amateur boxing ring. Jones suffered his first defeat since making the transition from basketball, which he played professionally in Europe after starring at Bangor’s Husson University.

One look at يوم الجمعة official weigh-in suggested that the bout between Roger Ewer (251 جنيه) and Dustin Freeman (220) might be the typical stand-up, slug-it-out heavyweight affair. بدلا من, it turned into a ground-and-pound showcase that was right in Ewer’s wheelhouse. C.J.’s older brother, making his debut in the NEF hexagon at 44 سنوات من العمر, hammered out the advantage throughout and earned a TKO via unanswered strikes at 2:31 of the second stanza.

Nate Boucher improved to 2-0 with a first-round stoppage of Jeremiah Barkac, who was making his cage debut. Barkac gained an early advantage in the bantamweight bout with a barrage of strikes, but Boucher cleverly gained leverage with his legs and locked in a triangle choke.

الفوز أو الخسارة, Bangor’s Angela Young announced that her battle with Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga would be the final fight of her career. يدفع (6-3) erased any hopes of a Hollywood ending with a decisive TKO at 2:16 الجولة الافتتاحية. شاب (2-3), wife of Chris, لم تقطع أبدًا أقل من المسافة في أي من انتصاراتها أو خسائرها السابقة.

في NEF المتبادل و MMA لاول مرة, أسعد زاك فولكنر جمهوره بفوزه في الجولة الثانية على ديفيد هارت عبر خنق خلفي عاري. وجاءت نهاية في 1:42.

استمتع جيسي هاتشينسون أيضًا بظهوره الأول في صفوف الهواة. أوقف أنتوني لابوينت عند 2:43 من الجولة الأولى في مناوشة وزن الوسط.

أعلنت NEF أيضًا أن الحدث الترويجي القادم للفنون القتالية المختلطة, “NEF 31: الميناء القديم,” سيشهد ظهور الشركة الذي طال انتظاره في بورتلاند, مين في العلامة التجارية الجديدة, هالة مكان على أحدث طراز. من المقرر أن يعقد الحدث في الجمعة, تشرين الثاني 3, 2017. ستطرح التذاكر للبيع يوم الأربعاء, أغسطس 9 في www.auramaine.com.

AMATEUR TITLE FIGHT PROMISES TO BE AN ALL-OUT WAR

للنشر الفوري: ويستون, مين (مايو 3, 2017) معارك -New انجلترا (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on السبت, يونيو 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) ونوبات الملاكمة المحترفة. The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a lightweight title fight that will see رافائيل “Deez NutsVelado (4-0) defend against بات كيلي (3-0).

 

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Velado made his NEF debut in the fall of 2015. He submitted Kelly’s Young’s MMA teammate Jimmy Jackson (3-3) في “إن إي إف 25” to claim the amateur lightweight title. حتى الآن, only Mike Peitersen (3-1), another member of Young’s, has gone the distance with Velado who has established himself as a master of arm bars and Kimuras. Velado is a member of First Class MMA in Brunswick, مين.

 

“نحن نعيد الكرة مرة أخرى,” exclaimed Velado. “We’ve got a friendly rivalry going between First Class MMA and Young’s MMA. They throw a badass at me and I answer the call. PK (بات كيلي) is a legend of sorts. If you wrestle in Maine and you don’t know who he is, you’re out of touch. I think PK a different kind of challenge for me than my previous four fights. I’ve shown that I can get the fight to the ground and that I’m dangerous when I get there, but that’s a wildcard with Pat. This fight is very exciting to me because we are both undefeated and the winner is going to have to prove that they are ready for the next level by bringing a well-rounded game. I have no doubt as to whether PK is capable of taking me down. السؤال هو; will he regret his decision to take me there? We will see on June 17th.”

 

Pat Kelly is, as Velado noted, a legend in the Maine wrestling world. He put together an impressive 116-20 career record at the University of Maine, captured a New England title and wrestled in the NCAA Championships in 1986. The 52-year-old is no stranger to the championship circle as a coach either, having led the Camden Hills team to several state titles over the years, earning himself an induction into the Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in the process. Kelly famously coached current UFC star Tim Boetsch (20-11) to four state wrestling titles during Boetsch’s time at Camden Hills.

 

As a member of Young’s MMA, Kelly made his MMA debut atNEF 14.Known for his intense in-cage performances, Kelly has finished all three of his opponents. A knee injury has forced him to the sidelines since his last victory in the summer of 2015.

 

“أولا, my sincere thanks to NEF for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and to Coach Chris Young and Ernie Fitch along with all my teammates at Young’s MMA,” said Kelly. “I am so pumped-up to get back into the NEF cage. I am now fully recovered from a serious knee injury and am felling better than ever. This fight makes perfect sense in that you have two undefeated fighters that are willing to wage war for the belt.

 

I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Raf’s caliber,” Kelly continued. “I respect the fact he is currently the undefeated champ. To fight him means that my time has come to offer him a challenge worthy of title contention. I have been training for an opportunity like this for the past four years. I will bring to the cage a sense of unpredictability and true grit. In essence, Raf will do what he has to do and I will do what I have to do. مهما حدث, happens.

SANDERS ON LEMKE REMATCH: “I’M GOING TO STEAL HIS SOUL AND I’M GOING TO BREAK HIS WILL

 

للنشر الفوري: ويستون, مين (أبريل 27, 2017) – أبدا إلى التراجع عن التحدي, or an opportunity to call out the competition, “The” Ryan Sanders is irked by the tone of the scuttlebutt since his first fight with Jon Lemke last November.

نعم, the skirmish stopped during the third round, due to a deep cut on Lemke’s head. But with Sanders leading comfortably, 20-18, على جميع البطاقات الثلاث, he was declared the winner.

It all fell in line with the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, and it surely reflected Sanders’ conviction that he was well in command of the bout and on his way to victory, regardless. Since that night, ال السبت before Thanksgiving, لكن, ساندرز, 29, says that Lemke and others in his camp have been a tad too outspoken about their belief that it was somehow a tainted victory.

In a recent interview with Jason Floyd on “The MMA Report Podcast,” Sanders held nothing back when queried about his motivation to dole out another beating when the former training partners meet this Saturday, أبريل 29 in a rematch at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

هذه المرة, it’s the tournament final for the vacant lightweight title at “NEF 28: Invincible.”

“I was a little upset afterwards that (لمكه) said he thought it should have been a no-contest,قال ساندرز. “What Jon won’t talk about or say is that right before I got that takedown, he quit. He quit in my arms.”

ساندرز (13-8) clarified that comment, adding that while Lemke (6-7) didn’t say the word explicitly, his vast experience in the cage underscored his belief that the end was nigh.

“A fighter knows when someone is about to give up, and Jon was about to give up,"هو قال. “He wasn’t fighting that takedown in my arms. He was just dead weight in my arms, so it’s a bit frustrating that he would say that.”

It didn’t take long for the stars to align and serve up the second helping that both fighters’ fan bases crave. With a shot at the strap in the offing, both men made short work of their 155-pound tournament semifinal opponents in February.

Sanders landed a vicious kick to the jaw of John Ortolani that ended their confrontation in a mere 15 ثواني. Lemke was just as impressive, needing only a minute longer to dispatch Jesse “the Viking” Erickson.

Typically it’s the defeated fighter in this scenario who covets the chance at vindication, but Sanders sounds like the one with an axe to grind after hearing some of the public perception about his previous win.

“I’m happy that we get a rematch and to be able to show everyone that the first time it wasn’t a fluke and to have my hand raised again,” Sanders, من هو 6-1 in his past seven fights, قال. “I’m unstoppable right now. I’m surrounded with the best people. I’ve got great teammates, great coaches and an amazing wife … Any guy who fights me, they are (screwed)."

Asked if he is bent on earning a submission to achieve a measure of unfinished business, Sanders quickly declared that any form of victory will suffice.

“Not necessarily to get a stoppage victory, but I’m going to show him. It will be five months since we fought, and I’ve been in the gym every day, and I’m going to show him that he’s not on my level,قال ساندرز. “Eventually the victory will come whether it’s a submission, a TKO, a knockout. Jon does have a lot of heart, but I’m going to be stealing it from him. I’m going to steal his soul and I’m going to break his will.

“I’m a grappler, so I do prefer a nice submission victory," هو أكمل. “But whatever he gives me I’ll take, and I’m going to go in there and take it. I’m going to take that belt home. That is my belt, and I’ve worked too hard to let anyone else take it from me.”

The rivalry between Sanders and Lemke is a natural one. They were former stablemates at Team Irish before Sanders switched to rival Young’s MMA.

Sanders said he didn’t earn enough takedowns for his liking in the previous encounter, but he believes the scorecards were an accurate reflection of how he dominated the fight.

“I knew he was a tough dude. He could take a punch. He could take a kick,قال ساندرز. “I feel like I was getting the best of it.”

A second bout with Lemke fits Sanders’ profile as a fighter willing to take on anyone, في كل مكان, في أي وقت.

ساندرز, who has been matched in his career with the likes of Marcus Davis, Gil de Freitas, Levan Makashvili, Luis Felix and Derrick Kennington, has won his last five in a row on Maine soil.

He dropped back-to-back decisions to de Freitas in his two previous bids for an NEF title and naturally predicts that he won’t let the third chance at gold slip away.

“I know with the training I’m putting in that I’m destined for greatness,قال ساندرز. “My work has shown that, and my future fights will show that. I know I’m there to fight the best. Look at the guys I’ve fought. They’re UFC or Bellator vets, or they’re top-five fighters in the region.

"(The fans are) going to witness a great fight, a great performance by Ryan Sanders,” he concluded. “They may say, ‘This guy’s being (a jerk). He’s real cocky.’ It’s not that I’m cocky. I’m fully confident in my training and in my training partners and in my coaches and in myself that I am ready to fight anybody in the region and beat anybody in the region.”

LEMKE ON LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE SHOT: “I JUST THINK ABOUT GETTING THAT BELT AND DEFENDING THAT BELT

 

للنشر الفوري: ويستون, مين (أبريل 27, 2017) – Not everybody in life gets blessed with a shot at redemption. Jonathan Lemke will bask in that opportunity on multiple fronts when he battles “The” Ryan Sanders for the vacant NEF lightweight title this السبت, أبريل 29 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee as part of “NEF 28: Invincible.”

It’s the second shot at the NEF strap for Lemke, who lost a split decision to Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington in February 2016 at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS.” Lemke also looks forward to the rematch with Sanders after their fight in November was abbreviated due to a gash on Lemke’s head.

“Definitely after the way the last one ended, I still feel like I have a little unfinished business, a little chip on my shoulder,” Lemke said recently in an interview on “The Maine Event” podcast with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole. “I definitely want to go out there and take care of business this time.”

ساندرز (13-8) won a unanimous decision when the verdict went to the scorecards by virtue of the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.

Like his opponent and former stablemate, لمكه (6-7) has carved out a reputation as a fighter who will take on all comers. The first bout with Sanders extended his winless streak to four fights, but the quality of opposition – Devin Powell, Josh LaBerge and Boyington preceded Sanders – are good for more than an asterisk.

He snapped that run in short order with a first-round TKO of Jesse “The Viking” Erickson in February’s tournament semifinals.

“I’m very excited, very grateful,قال ليمكه. “This is the culmination of a lot of years, a lot of hard work, to be at this point again and see some of that pay off.”

Lemke doesn’t believe that he needs the title to validate his years under the NEF umbrella. On the flip side, لكن, it is a line on the personal checklist on which he is hungry to leave his mark.

“It would mean a lot,” he acknowledged. “It wouldn’t define me either way, but at the same time certainly one of the goals I set out to achieve when I first started this sport was to take care of business on the regional end and to be a regional champion.”

Previous champions Powell, Boyington and Dez Green made the lightweight belt NEF’s most coveted honor by using it as a springboard to opportunities on a national scale.

لمكه, who has enjoyed the spotlight as part of both a Bellator card and Dana White’s “Lookin’ for a Fight” UFC audition, denied that he is looking ahead to greener pastures.

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought about where it would take me,"هو قال. “I just think about getting that belt and defending that belt. It’s always one fight at a time.”

Between their days training together with Team Irish (Sanders now fights out of Young’s MMA) and their previous fight, Lemke and Sanders know one another as well as any NEF title fight opponents in history.

While Lemke allows for the possibility that both men will dip into their bag of tricks, he said fans shouldn’t expect too many surprises.

“I think stylistically it will be a little bit different. Game plan wise it will be a little bit different. At the start you might see some different wrinkles from both,” Lemke said “But at the end of the day we are both familiar with each other, so it will be a similar type fight.”

He also sees the confrontation living up to every ounce of its billing.

“One of the statements from the first card was that I believe this fight could headline any card, any regional or national promotion, and I still believe that,قال ليمكه. “It’s a fight the fans want to see.”

And it’s a fight he naturally believes he will win the second time around.

“I’m healthy as can be. Had a good, tough camp, and I’m looking forward to getting out there and performing my business,قال ليمكه. “I believe in my overall skill set and believe that overall skill set will lead to the victory.”
