BOYINGTON TRIUMPHANT IN RETURN, ERICKSON SETTLES A SCORE AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Februari 4, 2018) – Two years of traveling the world in pursuit of mixed martial arts glory had not even a shred of negative impact on Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington’s mystique in the New England Fights cage.

 

 

 

 

Battered, bloodied Taylor Trahan somehow made it to the end of the second round at Androscoggin Bank Colisee, but a relentless Boyington punctuated a dominant performance with a rear naked choke at 1:08 of the third in the 150-pound main event at “NEF 32: Super Hari Sabtu."

 

 

 

 

Boyington (15-11) had fought in such diverse locales as New York City and Moscow since his most recent NEF appearance. He extended his winning streak in the promotion to four fights at the expense of Trahan (7-9).

 

 

 

 

Four other professional bouts and 10 amateur affairs highlighted the busy evening.

 

 

 

C.J. Ewer’s bid to become the first simultaneous NEF champion in two different divisions fell short against Kemran Lachinov.

 

 

 

 

Lachinov (6-2), a Bellator veteran based out of Ludlow, Massachusetts, captured the vacant welterweight crown with a tapout to a kneebar at 3:01 dari putaran pertama.

 

 

 

Ewer was undefeated in three previous pro fights, including a submission victory over Mike Hansen for the middleweight strap six months ago.

 

 

 

 

Hansen also absorbed a choke-out loss on this card. Coming off a week of controversy about their agreed-upon catch weight, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson showed that his apparent size disadvantage was no issue.

 

 

 

 

After dominating the early exchanges, Erickson (10-7) applied a guillotine. With Hansen (5-9) appearing unresponsive, the referee stepped in and stopped the contest at 2:41 dari babak pembukaan.

 

 

 

 

Aaron Lacey rebounded from the first loss of his career, thoroughly dominating veteran Josh Parker in a 145-pound tangle. Lacey (5-1) controlled the lone round of the bout, dropping Parker (6-10) with a knee to the head. He maintained control with a vicious assault to the body, then sent Parker to dreamland via rear naked choke at 4:30.

 

 

 

 

Persistence paid off for independent mainstay Zenon Herrera, who picked up his first professional victory in his seventh try. Both Herrera and opponent Nate Charles have an extensive boxing background, but it was Herrera’s domination on the ground that paved the path to an unanimous decision.

 

 

 

 

In the headline amateur event, Ryan Burgess scored a narrow victory over Nate Boucher in a grueling, ground-and-pound flyweight fracas.

 

 

 

 

The bout between former Mountain Valley High School wrestling teammates was billed as a grudge match, fueled by a war of words on social media. Not surprisingly it ended in a lengthy embrace after the bell, with both men lying spent in the center of the cage.

 

 

 

 

There was little to choose between the Rumford rivals. Burgess (3-2) pushed the attack in rounds two and three and may have gained the final 29-28 edge on two scorecards with a few well-placed knees to the midsection. Boucher (2-2) swept all three rounds in the other judge’s estimation.

 

 

 

 

Dengan kemenangan tersebut, Burgess snapped a two-fight losing skid and earned a June title fight against Justin Witham. Burgess initially won the title back in 2015.

 

 

 

 

Kam Arnold (2-0) left an indelible impression on both the crowd and opponent Kyle Kenney in his first-round victory. After patiently finding a seam, Arnold slammed Kenney to the canvas early in the bout and gained the TKO with a barrage of strikes at the two-minute mark.

 

 

 

 

Former amateur light heavyweight champion Ryan Glover (4-2) made a triumphant return in his first appearance since losing the belt exactly one year ago. Glover ended a slugfest with newcomer Joe Berube by verbal submission to strikes in the opening seconds of the third round.

 

 

 

 

Mohammad Al-Kinani ran his amateur record to 3-0 with a first-round TKO of Isaac Therrien. It was Al-Kinani’s stand-up acumen against Therrien’s wrestling background, and Therrien gained the early advantage with three takedowns. He was unable to keep the action on the deck, akan tetapi, and Al-Kinani’s fistic prowess proved too tough to overcome.

 

 

 

 

Juga, Shawn Lunghi kept his record perfect through three fights with a first-round rear naked choke over previously unbeaten Devin Corson. The convincing, 68-second victory earned Lunghi an April shot at the amateur featherweight title against Taylor Costantino at NEF 33 in Portland.

 

 

 

 

Former University of Maine football standout Carlton Charles delivered the quickest knockout of the evening. Charles rebounded from his initial loss in November with a 12-second stoppage of Delmarkis Edwards, who was making his debut at 175 pon.

 

 

 

 

Stacy Lupo picked up his first win in the cage over David Hart. Lupo used knees and kicks to gain the advantage before gaining the TKO via strikes at 1:10 of the opening round of the 155-pound scrap.

 

 

 

 

In a wildly entertaining women’s bout to christen the card, B.J. Garceau made a successful amateur debut with a split decision over Sarah Ziehm. All three judges offered a 29-28 verdict, but a strong start and authoritative finish gave Garceau the edge. Garceau dedicated her debut to awareness of diabetes, a disease she battles outside the cage.

 

 

 

 

 

Two other women’s bouts went the distance. Catie Denning won her debut by unanimous decision over Chelsea Elizabeth, while Amanda Gallo made her trip from Florida pay off with a clean sweep of the cards against 2017 NEF rookie of the year Jayda Bailey.

WEIGHT JUST A MINUTE! DISAGREEMENT OVER MMA FIGHT TERMS TURNS INTO FIERY FACEBOOK FIASCO

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Januari 29, 2018) - Sabtu ini malam, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mikropon “The Kumis” Hansen (5-8) of Berserkers MMA will square off at a fight weight of 179-pounds. That is a full nine pounds heavier than the original agreed-to weight. The change in contract terms was a result of a request from Hansen who realized he would not be able to cut to 170-pounds just over a week out from the fight. Erickson, upon learning that Hansen could not make weight, immediately took to Facebook with his outrage.

One week from weigh ins my opponent Michael B. Hansen wants the fight moved up 9 pounds or he’s going to pull from the fight,” wrote Erickson on his Facebook status on January 25. “We took this fight in October man. I’m on weight now, am I supposed to gain 8 pounds in a week? I’m already fighting up a weight class as it isyou can’t even do 175?”

The post was immediately met with anger from Erickson’s friends and teammates with several calling Hansenunprofessionalfor his actions. In the fall of 2017, Hansen and Erickson had agreed to fight this coming February at welterweight. 170-pounds was heavy for Erickson who had spent the majority of his career fighting in the 155-pound lightweight division. Flash forward nearly four months, dan sekarang, with Hansen unable to make 170-pounds, Erickson was on the spot to accept or decline a fight in what was essentially the middleweight divisiontwo weight classes higher than where he would normally compete. If he declined, Erickson would be wasting months of training in preparation for the fight.

Beberapa saat kemudian, Hansen came to his own defense on Erickson’s Facebook thread.

Hey sorry for the bad news but just being honest with people,” wrote Hansen. “I’m currently 9 pounds over my marks. I’m only 2 weeks off from my medical suspension from a fractured tibia. It was a set back for sure in getting in the work I needed. I’m down to fight, but j [s.i.c.] will not give up 50% of my show/win/and commission. Sorry but you know I’m game to fight

Hansen is referring to the standard contract terms in which he had agreed to forfeit $100 per pound for each pound he weighed over 170-pounds at weigh-ins.

F**k you, I’m still going to kick your ass,” retorted Erickson on the thread. “179 it is scumbag. Hope your [s.i.c.] happy you got your way.

The argument went on publicly for several days between the two sides with many of each fightersfriends and teammates chiming in with their opinions. Pada akhirnya, the fight was saved with Hansen and Erickson agreeing to meet at a catchweight of 179-poundsSabtu ini night in Lewiston. The fans will be the winners as they will get to see one of the most anticipated fights in recent memory.

We agreed to fight at 170,stated Erickson when reached for comment. “I typically fight at 155, and I’m not the biggest 155er as it is. I didn’t pressure him to take it at 170. He accepted and should make the weight or pay the fine for missing. Malah, he decided to say he wants the bout at 179 or he’s going to pull from the fight one week from weigh-ins. I don’t care about his bulls**t excuses, you agreed, you should do what you agreed to do. We had almost four months for this. With that much time, there is absolutely no excuse. We’re supposed to be professionals. So here we are now, fighting at 179, which only gives him a greater size advantage. Even still, it won’t be enough. I would have been merciful and just finished him quick, but now he’s going to pay for his disrespect.

“I’m not exactly sure why Jesse took this to Facebook, but great idea really, now everyone is talking about it again,” said Hansen when contacted for comment. “The situation sucks, tapi itu adalah apa itu. I was injured a few weeks after signing this fight. I was medically suspended and had to see how this injury would heal and if it would stop me from competing. I don’t think it’s bad enough to stop me from competing, but it stopped me from getting in a camp the way I should. Jika sesuatu, Jesse should be happy he is fighting a lesser version of myself. I’m not at my best right now. I didn’t want to pull out and Jesse is the one running around telling everyone he will fight me no matter at what weight. I believe him, so what’s the big deal. If I would of pulled out due to injury a few weeks back, everyone would be saying the same s**t for that reason. I didn’t make this fight, dia melakukan. He knew where I fought and decided he wanted to fight. I didn’t ask him to do this. Dia ingin melawan – he will get a fight.

FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Januari 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.

 

 

Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.

 

 

“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, kamu tahu?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”

 

 

Arnold, yang ternyata 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.

 

 

Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Hari Sabtu, Februari 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Hari Sabtu."

 

 

Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian di 1 minute, 54 detik.

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Dia seorang pejuang. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Saya memiliki banyak rasa hormat untuk dia. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”

 

 

Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” hadiah. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.

 

 

"Ya, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”

 

 

A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.

 

Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.

 

 

“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”

 

 

In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.

 

 

“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Sayangnya, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”

 

 

Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.

 

 

He fell in love with professional wrestling, MMA, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” dia mengatakan.

 

 

While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.

 

 

“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, when I was 18 atau 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, yang ternyata 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”

 

 

Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.

 

 

Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.

 

 

“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.

 

 

“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”

 

 

When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.

 

 

“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”

 

 

The opening bell Februari 3 ditetapkan untuk 7 p.m. Tiket tersedia di www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Ketegangan Menjalankan tinggi sebagai Mantan Falcons Rekan tim Siapkan untuk MMA Cage Pertempuran

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Januari 10, 2018) – Tumbuh di komunitas kerah biru yang sama dan memajukan melalui sama, Program olahraga bertingkat tidak lantas membuat dua orang sahabat.

 

 

 

Mantan rekan Gunung Valley High School, dan masa depan New England Perkelahian campuran lawan seni bela diri, Ryan Burgess dan Nate Boucher adalah bukti dari pepatah lama, “keakraban melahirkan penghinaan.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, dan Boucher, 21, akan pertempuran di amatir kelas terbang pertarungan di “NEF 32: Super Hari Sabtu"Pada tanggal Hari Sabtu, Februari 3. Pertarungan di Androscoggin Bank Colisee akan menentukan nomor satu pesaing di divisi 125-pound, dan mendapatkan pemenang judul ditembak melawan juara Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Ini akan menjadi hampir satu tahun sejak Burgess, tiga kali juara Maine gulat SMA dan juara NEF masa lalu, berjalan ke kandang. Dia disebut NEF co-pemilik mak comblang Matt Peterson dan secara khusus meminta pertarungan Boucher.

 

 

 

Mengapa? Di satu sisi, itu adalah keputusan bisnis setelah dekat Boucher ini, loss split-keputusan untuk Witham dalam pertarungan gelar November.

 

 

 

“Aku sudah keluar selama satu tahun. Aku berharap untuk melompat kembali ke pertarungan gelar,”Burgess menjelaskan. “Setelah berjuang Nate dengan Witham, Aku tahu dia ingin pertandingan ulang segera. Setelah menjadi jelas bahwa tidak akan terjadi hingga April, Saya bertanya apakah kami bisa melakukan laga ini pada bulan Februari, dan Nate mengambilnya.”

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) kemudian meluncurkan satu atau dua granat media sosial yang muncul untuk menunjukkan beberapa tingkat kebencian terhadap sesama Falcon-nya. Sangat mungkin kurang pribadi daripada taktis; Burgess merasakan kesempatan untuk mengeksploitasi apa yang ia lihat sebagai salah satu celah dalam baju besi Boucher ini.

 

 

 

“Nate, sejak dia masih kecil, memiliki sikap kencing-miskin ketika dia kalah. Saya berharap untuk merendahkan dirinya sedikit dan pastikan dia tidak perlu khawatir tentang pertarungan ini mendapatkan di tangan para hakim,”Kata Burgess. “Nate mungkin bisa menjadi dua- atau tiga kali juara negara jika ia telah memberikan dirinya kesempatan untuk melakukan itu. Jika ia masih memiliki sikap yang sama ia kembali maka, itu akan berakhir dengan cara yang sama.”

 

 

 

Burgess adalah salah satu dari hanya empat juara negara tiga kali dalam sejarah MVHS. Secara Kebetulan, saudara Boucher ini, Ethan, juga mencapai prestasi yang.

 

 

 

Boucher, yang telah diambil empat kali juara tikar Maine SMA, dan dua kali finalis New England, Yeremia Barkac dari Dexter selama waktunya di segi enam NEF, terlihat dan terdengar seperti karakter yang berbeda dari orang yang berjuang menjauh dari tikar sebagai remaja.

 

 

 

Setelah memenangkan dua perkelahian pertama dengan mudah, Boucher (2-1) bukan satu-satunya di gedung yang merasa telah berbuat cukup untuk mendapatkan sabuk di Portland.

 

 

 

“Saya pikir saya dikendalikan dua putaran pertama laga. ketiga, benar-benar. Dua yang pertama aku cukup banyak (Dengan saya) tersedak keluar,”Kata Boucher. “Itu berakhir menjadi pengalaman belajar bagi saya bahwa Anda tidak bisa meninggalkan perjuangan untuk para hakim. Hal yang besar tentang jajaran amatir, sementara tentu saja aku peduli rekor saya, pada akhir hari itu bagian dari proses belajar untuk membuat Anda lebih baik profesional.”

 

 

 

Menanggapi Burgess’ tembakan di Facebook, Boucher mempertanyakan perilaku mantan juara setelah memenangi tali NEF dua perkelahian dalam karirnya.

 

 

 

“Aku tidak banyak untuk pembicaraan sampah. Aku hanya menikmati olahraga. Saya suka melawan dan kemudian pulang saja. Dia melakukan sedikit untuk membangun egonya saya pikir,”Kata Boucher. “Dia menjatuhkan sabuk karena ia mengalami kesulitan membuat berat badan, yang cukup sopan, menurutku. Dia keluar untuk sementara waktu, jadi sekarang aku di depan dia, dan dia tahu dia harus melalui saya.”

 

 

 

Burgess mengatakan ia digunakan PHK itu untuk menyelesaikan pendidikan tinggi dan mengembangkan kepercayaan sebagai asisten terapi fisik, menunjukkan bahwa profesi medis lebih mungkin untuk menjadi karir jangka panjang dari MMA.

 

 

 

Sementara ia melanjutkan jadwal pelatihan di Rumford Community Center dengan Berserkers MMA, Burgess mengatakan itu kurang intens dan terstruktur sebelum kerugian melawan Witham dan Dustin Veinott. Burgess sebelumnya mengalahkan kedua rival.

 

 

 

“Secara fisik saya masih harus mengalahkan mereka, tapi secara mental aku tidak siap seperti yang saya seharusnya. Sekarang aku jauh lebih terfokus,”Kata Burgess. “Pada saat itu saya sedang menyelesaikan sekolah, kerja paruh waktu 20 untuk 30 jam seminggu dan pergi ke sekolah untuk mungkin lain 40. Saya kehilangan dua perkelahian di mana aku berada di bawah berat badan. Saya kenaikan berat badan sementara orang-orang lain memotong berat badan. Aku akan pergi ke sana pada batas dan mereka akan memakai 10 untuk 15 pound antara menimbang-in dan pertarungan.”

 

 

 

Boucher diakui tidak pernah mencapai potensinya sebagai pegulat SMA. Ia telah mengikuti jalan yang berbeda dari Burgess, mendaftar di Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - di mana ia masih melatih hari ini - pada usia 13.

 

 

 

“Saya memiliki beberapa mitra pelatihan terberat dan terbaik di negara bagian,”Kata Boucher. "Saya jiu-jitsu telah datang jauh, hampir titik di mana itu telah berlalu saya bergulat sedikit. Tentu saja, gulat adalah apa yang saya selalu kembali ke ketika saya membutuhkannya. mencolok saya adalah malam-dan-hari. Itu mengerikan untuk laga pertama saya.”

 

 

 

Dia menambahkan bahwa keberhasilannya terbesar dalam MMA telah datang dengan mengorbankan mantan pegulat.

 

 

 

Burgess mengandalkan Boucher meremehkan sisa repertoar. Sebagai seseorang yang mengambil bergulat di tim universitas junior sekolah menengah di kelas tujuh, ia mengatakan bahwa sejarah sebagai studi cepat telah dibawa ke ranah jiu-jitsu dan tinju.

 

 

 

“Saya pikir dia akan terkejut. Dia pikir dia tahu apa yang saya bawa ke meja,”Kata Burgess. “Semua yang dia tahu tentang saya adalah gulat saya, tapi aku punya banyak lebih dari itu untuk jatuh kembali. Aku sudah tahu apa yang dia membawa ke meja. Dan dia tidak akan belajar dalam dua bulan apa yang saya pelajari dalam dua tahun."

 

 

 

Bel pembukaan di Februari 3 ditetapkan untuk 7 p.m. Tiket tersedia di www.TheColisee.com.
