UFC STAR’S WIFE IN DOUBLE MMA DEBUT ON NOVEMBER 3RD IN PORTLAND

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Setembro 12, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Carol Linn Powell (0-0) está programado para assumir Francesca Morabito (0-0) in a women’s bantamweight contest.

Carol Linn is the wife of former NEF Lightweight Champion, e atual lutador do UFC, Devin Powell (8-3). Devin earned a contract with the UFC after impressing the company’s president, Dana White, on his web series Dana White: Olhar dentro’ for a Fight at an event promoted by NEF in Bangor, Maine last year. Juntos, the Powells own and operate Nostos MMA & Conditioning Facility in Somersworth, New Hampshire. Mês passado, they were awarded the “Best Martial Arts Gym” no “2017 Best of the Seacoast” prêmios.

“Fighting has been something I’ve fantasized about for a few years and now that it is finally happening, I couldn’t be more excited,” said Carol Linn when reached for comment. “I was supposed to have my first fight in June and it ended up falling through, and I think this fight is a much better match up and is in one of my very favorite towns. Francesca and I have trained together a few times and we were really excited to be a part of each other’s camps, but after realizing what a good matchup we are, we decided to put our friendship aside and both get in there for our first fights. We are very similar, and I’m excited to put a great show on for everyone.”

“I am very excited for my wife to make her debut,” noted Devin. “She’s been around the sport for almost half a decade, but is just recently getting into hard training and the competitive aspect of it. I never told her to fight or said I thought she should. She was very independent in this choice and when somebody chooses to do something on their own and they commit all of themselves to it, I think that is a great equation for a successful person in anything they do. She is going to find out a lot about herself on the 3rd. Happy to have a cage-side seat for it.”

Francesca Morabito trains at the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine. Her true passion lies in her work with non-profit organization Speak About It. Morabito has toured the world as a theatre artist with the Portland-based group, educating high school and college students on affirmative consent, healthy relationships, and sexual assault prevention.

“It is such an honor to make my debut just a couple blocks from where I’ve been training for the past two years,” said Morabito. “I’m elated to fight in my hometown – on the same street where I’ve trudged home on countless Maine winter nights, with my gym bag slung over my shoulder and my wet hair freezing solid underneath my Choi hoodie. My time has come. And I came to win.”

CHARLES LOOKS TO MAKE IT TWO IN A ROW TO START MMA CAREER

Deixe um comentário

Portland, Maine (Agosto 31, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland emSexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Carlton Charles (1-0) vai assumir Nate Evans (0-0) at a catchweight of 175-pounds.

Carlton Charles shocked the Maine MMA community earlier this month with his stunning first-round technical knockout of Josh Jones (2-1) em “NEF 30” em Bangor. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. Por sua vez, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Era, de fato, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.

Charles’ athleticism comes as no surprise, contudo, to those who know him. He excelled in football for Windham High School. As an assistant coach, Charles later lead Windham to a Class A state championship. He went on to play for the NCAA Division I University of Maine Black Bears. Atualmente, Charles trains MMA with Charles Family Fighting alongside his older brother, and seven-fight NEF veteran, Nate Charles.

“I’m real excited about the opportunity to fight in Portland,” disse Charles. “Not often have we seen MMA in Portland, so it’s definitely going to get a lot of attention. It’s a bit closer to home than Bangor was, so I feel like I’ll have a lot of support there. I hope to put on a good show and look to build on the success of my first fight. I know my opponent will be tough so I am training hard to be prepared.”

Nate Evans will be making his debut on 3 de novembro. Like Charles, Evans’ background is in football. He was a star quarterback for Sumter Central High School in Livingston, Alabama. Also like Charles, Evans has begun training and combat sports and is hoping to make a successful transition from the gridiron to the MMA cage.

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agosto 29, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland emSexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Josh Parker (6-9) vai se reunir “The Blackpool Ripper” Matt Probin (0-0) in a featherweight matchup.

Josh Parker is the founder and head coach of Ruthless MMA & Boxe. A two-sport athlete, Parker has split his professional career between the MMA cage and the boxing ring. He has won two of his last three fights for NEF, most recently dominating Andre Belcarris (0-2) for three rounds on his way to a unanimous decision victory in June. Parker will look to continue his winning ways when he meets Probin on 3 de novembro.

“I want to thank NEF for making this fight,” said Parker when reached for comment. “I’m excited to get back in there. We recently expanded Ruthless and moved to a new location. Our team keeps growing and they are pushing me every day. I look forward to putting on a show on 3 de novembro.”

Originally from Blackpool, England and now a Maine resident, Matt Probin divides his training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Young’s MMA. Probin went 6-2 over the course of his amateur MMA career. While Probin has not competed in MMA in more than three years, he has been active as a professional boxer and kickboxer in recent years. Em 2016, Probin had a stint training Muay Thai in Thailand where he competed at the world famous Bangla Boxing Stadium – one of Thailand’s most venerated fight venues.

“I’m pumped for this fight,” declared Probin. “I don’t think I’ve ever been this excited about fighting someone before. Thanks to NEF for making it happen. I guarantee this fight will not go the distance. I respect his game and experience, but that’s it. I’m coming out with bad intentions. Não pisque!”

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agosto 25, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland emSexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Banheiro “First Class” Raio (2-8) vai se reunir Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera (0-5) com um peso de captura de 150 libras.

For John Raio, the bout will mark his return to the cage after more than two years. Raio retired following his rematch with Bruce Boyington (13-11) em Junho 2015. He has decided to make one more run at competing. Competition has been in Raio’s blood since his youth. He won a Maine state championship wrestling for Gardiner Area High School in 1995, and he went on to wrestle for Plymouth State University and the University of Southern Maine. While working for the United States Postal Service, Raio began competing in MMA in 2012. Since his retirement, Raio has concentrated on training fighters at his gym First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. He has led several to championship gold in the NEF cage while working full-time at his current position with Bath Iron Works (BIW).

“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” said Raio. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 vezes em três anos. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. Em 3 de novembro, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.

“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” Disse Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”

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

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agosto 24, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland emSexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bantamweight bout to the card. Henry Clark (3-3) está programado para enfrentar Carl Langston (6-9) com um peso de luta de 135 quilos.

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, Fred Lear (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. “Em 3 de novembro, 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! Quanto ao meu oponente, 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.”

WWE SIGNEE TO CHALLENGE GULLIVER FOR HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE IN PORTLAND

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agosto 22, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua estreia em Portland em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta pelo título amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Nick Gulliver (4-0) will defend the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title against Terrance Jean-Jacques (1-0).

“NEF is an amazing organization and I love fighting for them,” said Gulliver. “This will be my fifth fight for NEF and to me, this fight is different. During my fighting career I’ve always been fighting for someone, or something, and I’ve never really had time or the energy to really enjoy it. This fight I’m fighting to prove to myself that I’m good enough to be the heavyweight champion. People tell me every day after sparring or training that I’m good, but I don’t see it yet. I don’t see what others see and this is a time for me to see and believe. This camp I’m going to work and find myself in the process.”

Gulliver, a product of First Class MMA and the Foundry BJJ, has been nothing short of perfect over the course of his amateur career with NEF. “O guardião,” as he is known amongst his fans and teammates, has finished all four of his previous opponents, including a third-round technical knockout of Yorgan DeCastro (2-4) last fall to claim the title belt. DeCastro is the first, and only, opponent to date to make it out of the first round with Gulliver.

“I have a lot to prove to myself and I’m going to look into the mirror on 3 de novembro and see the man I’ve wanted to be in the cage and out,” continued Gulliver. “I’m going to work as much as I can and never give up. Something I always repeat to myself is ‘cowards never start, the weak never finish, winners never quit,’ and I’m not quitting on November 3rd.”

Terrance Jean-Jacques brings a solid amateur wrestling background with him to the NEF cage. The Haverhill, Massachusetts native put together an impressive 22-6 record as the starting heavyweight for the NCAA Division I Iowa Hawkeyes as a freshman. He later transferred to Rhode Island College and was a runner-up at the 2015 Division III wrestling championships. Jean-Jacques signed a developmental deal with the WWE in the spring of 2016 to train at their performance center in Florida.

“Everybody fights for different things,” remarked Jean-Jacques. “Minha coisa é, I’m not doing this for anyone else but my daughter and myself. It’s much bigger than this fight. I’m reinventing myself and it’s kill or be killed. This will be the best version of myself to date. I have goals that I’m charging at in an unstoppable manner and I’m coming to get it. This is my destiny.”

“I want to thank my training partners and my family,” said Gulliver in closing. “I want to thank FirstClass MMA and The Foundry BJJ for everything they have given me. I’ve been training with FirstClass MMA and John Raio for almost three years now and I’ve been training with The Foundry BJJ going on eight years now. I appreciate all they do for me. I can name over 100 people that I train with every week that help push me, day in and day out, and I can’t thank them enough for it.

“Esta luta será uma guerra. If you put me and my opponent, Terrance, side by side and took bets, I’d be the loser all day. Shit, even I would bet against me if it was about size and looks. But this fight will be won by one thing and one thing only and anyone that knows me knows what I’m about to say. This fight will be won with heart. I’m not great at anything I do. I fail at most things, but I have a lot of heart and I push. Sometimes in life heart is what people need most. I’m looking to see what I’ve got on 3 de novembro and I’m looking forward to November 4th when I can wake up and see that I had enough heart and that I am the still the champ. Thank you to everyone involved in my life and thanks again for this fight I greatly appreciate it. Thank you to Terrance Jean-Jacques for coming to Portland to fight. Também, just a quick thank you to my friend Josh Jones, who made me remember the fun in this game again. He got me motivated to fight in this one. I’m hoping this fight is just like watching fireworks at a baseball game. If you’ve never seen fireworks at a baseball game come to this fight and I’ll show you the feeling.”

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a empresa fazer sua tão esperada estreia em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.auramaine.com.

NEF VENDE-SE NOVAMENTE NO BANGOR QUANDO OS LUTADORES LOCAIS BRILHAM NA GAIOLA

Deixe um comentário

Bangor, Maine (Agosto 6, 2017) –Não havia lugar como o lar Sábado noite para C.J. Jarro, Ryan Sanders e Fred Lear do MMA de Young em Bangor.

Lutando em frente a um salão de baile lotado a poucos passos de seu quartel de treinamento, os três lutadores no topo do card em “NEF 30” Rumble in Bangor ”, todos registraram vitórias impressionantes no Cross Insurance Center.

Ewer derrotou Mike “The Mustache” Hansen por finalização em 1:46 da primeira rodada para capturar o título vago NEF pro dos médios. Lear conquistou o cinturão de peso galo amador do NEF, enquanto Sanders apertou seu controle sobre a cena profissional leve da Nova Inglaterra em um triunfo sem título.

Foi a segunda lotação esgotada de agosto consecutiva em Queen City, uma tradição que começou com “NEF Presents Dana White: Olhar dentro’ For a Fight ”no verão passado.

Depois de sua difícil vitória sobre o viajado Jay Ellis, Sanders campeão dos leves profissionais do NEF, Não classificados. 1 na região, manteve seus comentários curtos e amáveis ​​enquanto chamava o supracitado Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) presidente.

“Você pegou o cara errado ano passado,”Sanders disse. "Venha me buscar agora."

Sanders (15-8) não teve um caminho fácil contra Ellis, um veterano de mais de 80 lutas profissionais. Ellis manteve Sanders sob controle durante a maior parte da luta, mas se deixou vulnerável a um estrangulamento em triângulo em 2:34 do primeiro turno.

Ewer despachou Hansen com uma manobra igualmente rápida.

“É uma sensação ótima vencer na frente da torcida,”Ewer disse. “Por mais que trabalhemos (no acampamento de treinamento), Não achei que nada pudesse me impedir. "

O final repentino estragou as esperanças de Hansen de ganhar um título pela primeira vez em seus 13 anos de carreira em artes marciais mistas.

“Este foi de longe o melhor campo de treinamento que já tive. Nós estávamos apenas nos aquecendo,”Hansen disse. “Eu tinha muito mais para dar, e tenho certeza C.J. tinha muito mais para dar. Mas ei, poderíamos fazer de novo. ”

Lear destacou a parte amadora do card com um nocaute oficial no segundo assalto de Walt Shea.

Apenas o sino salvou Shea do ataque de Lear no final do capítulo de abertura. Lear ganhou a vantagem com um chute na cabeça no meio dessa rodada. Depois de quase travar em uma barra de braço que poderia ter encerrado a luta, Lear ensanguentou Shea, até então invicto, com uma série de ataques.

O fim parecia inevitável quando Shea precisava da ajuda de Lear para encontrar seu canto entre as rodadas, e outro ataque interrompido acelerou o final apenas 14 segundos mais tarde.

Um Lear emocionado elogiou seu treinador, Chris Young do MMA de Young, antes de colocar o cinto em volta da cintura do professor.

“Muita gente por aqui sabe o nome dele, mas eles não conhecem o homem,”Lear disse. “Ele é o primeiro cara na academia pela manhã e o último a sair à noite. Ele é a razão de estarmos todos aqui. Ele é a razão de nosso sucesso. Ele é a razão de alguns de nós não estarmos na prisão. "

Nas duas primeiras lutas de Josh Jones’ carreira de MMA amador, Jones despachou seus oponentes por nocaute com um soco em um total de 24 segundos. Carlton Charles levou um tique-taque a menos para derrubar Jones na impressionante conclusão de um emaranhado de ex-atletas universitários famosos.

Charles, um produto do programa de futebol da Universidade do Maine em sua caminhada inicial até a jaula do NEF, virou o jogo em Jones (2-1) em uma sucata de peso médio. Jones novamente foi para a paralisação antecipada com um par de tiros em loop, mas Charles calmamente os abaixou antes de pousar um dos seus e levar a questão para o tapete.

“Eu simplesmente amo a competição,”Charles disse. “Você não leva uma pancada na cara assim no campo de futebol.”

Quando os combatentes se recuperaram, Charles apoiou Jones contra a gaiola e acertou a mandíbula com as duas mãos direitas. Jones se ajoelhou e acertou um golpe de esquerda na cabeça. Isso convenceu o árbitro a intervir e parar a luta, um veredicto que deixou Jones e seu campo de MMA de primeira classe visivelmente confusos.

Era o charles’ segunda vitória unilateral em esportes de combate em uma semana. Anteriormente, ele entregou um nocaute técnico no primeiro round no ringue de boxe amador. Jones sofreu sua primeira derrota desde a transição do basquete, que jogou profissionalmente na Europa depois de estrelar na Universidade Husson de Bangor.

Um olhar para Sexta-feira Pesagem oficial sugeriu que a luta entre Roger Ewer (251 libras) e Dustin Freeman (220) pode ser o típico stand-up, caso de peso pesado. Em vez, transformou-se em uma vitrine de peso e peso que ficava bem na casa do leme de Ewer. Irmão mais velho de C.J., fazendo sua estreia no hexágono NEF em 44 anos de idade, martelou a vantagem ao longo e ganhou um nocaute técnico por meio de ataques sem resposta em 2:31 da segunda estrofe.

Nate Boucher melhorou para 2-0 com uma paralisação na primeira rodada de Jeremiah Barkac, quem estava fazendo sua estréia na gaiola. Barkac ganhou uma vantagem inicial na luta do galo com uma enxurrada de ataques, mas Boucher habilmente ganhou vantagem com as pernas e travou em um estrangulamento triangular.

Ganhar ou perder, Angela Young de Bangor anunciou que sua batalha com Jessica "The Black Widow" Borga seria a luta final de sua carreira. Pagamento (6-3) apagou qualquer esperança de um final de Hollywood com um nocaute técnico decisivo em 2:16 da rodada de abertura. Jovem (2-3), esposa de chris, nunca tinha ido menos do que a distância em qualquer uma de suas vitórias ou derrotas anteriores.

Em uma estreia mútua entre NEF e MMA, Zach Faulkner encantou sua torcida com uma vitória no segundo turno sobre David Hart, com mata-leão. O fim veio em 1:42.

Jesse Hutchinson também teve uma estreia triunfante nas fileiras amadoras. Ele parou Anthony LaPointe em 2:43 do primeiro turno em uma escaramuça de meio-médio.

NEF também anunciou que o próximo evento de artes marciais mistas da promoção, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a empresa fazer sua tão esperada estreia em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos estarão à venda nesta quarta-feira, Agosto 9 em www.auramaine.com.

RUMFORD’S HANSEN GETS LONG-AWAITED SHOT AT MMA GOLD

Deixe um comentário

 

Matt Andrikut v Mike Hansen square off in MMA action from NEF 25.

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Rumford, Maine (Agosto 3, 2017) – New Mike Hansen’s dreams of becoming a mixed martial arts (MMA) champion were admittedly premature. Then they were derailed for nearly a decade by a combination of injuries, service to his country and fatherhood.

 

The teenage ambition that made Hansen believe he could conquer the world, or at least his little corner of it, never went away, embora.

 

Twenty-nine months after resurrecting his career with New England Fights, Rumford’s Hansen (5-5) finally gets that coveted title shot. He will battle hometown favorite C.J. Jarro (2-0) em “NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” this Sábado, Agosto 5 at Cross Insurance Center for the organization’s vacant middleweight title. The card starts at 7 p.m.

Hansen, que virou 32 em julho 21, says the opportunity fulfills an early goal while living and fighting in Massachusetts back in 2005.

 

“I was 19 years old and thought I had a great head on my shoulders, so I called out the (Liga Mundial de Luta) champion at the time, who was John “Doomsday” Howard,”Hansen disse. “I said that I wanted that belt and that I was coming after him. Knowing what I know now, he probably would have whipped the (porcaria) out of me.”

 

Howard went on to compete at the highest level with Ultimate Fighting Championships (UFC) and is now a veteran of 37 journeys into the cage. Hansen’s career path had many more stops, starts and detours.

 

He started with six amateur wins out of the gate and won his initial professional foray with ease. The title fight will take place on the eve of the 12th anniversary of that pro debut.

 

“Being 19 anos, I was kind of cocky. I remember telling my dad nobody could compete with my wrestling,”Hansen disse. “Back then, MMA hadn’t really evolved. The wrestler had the advantage over the jiu-jitsu guy. You could just hold a guy down and snuggle and hug and sweat out a win.”

 

After his first knockout loss, Hansen promised his father he would quit the sport. But he had already caught the fever, and his confidence was sky high.

 

Hansen was training for a bout at Laconia, New Hampshire’s bike week when he suffered a broken ankle two weeks before the weigh-in. He recovered and was in training for another fight when he was stabbed and beaten with a baseball bat in what could have been a fatal case of mistaken identity.

 

He remarkably walked out of the hospital a day later and soon embarked on a more structured path as a combat engineer in the United States Army. While enlisted, Hansen suffered a serious shoulder injury. Even after retirement, a return to the MMA cage seemed unlikely.

 

Then came a fateful call from an old friend and neighbor, NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson, and the rest is history. Hansen has carved out a reputation as one who will take on any opponent in any weight class at any time, and perhaps there is no greater example than the Ewer matchup.

 

“The belts are vacant at 170, 185 e 205 (libras). I can make weight for all those if I have enough time,”Hansen disse. “I guess Peterson thought it made sense to kill two birds with one stone and put me in with Ewer at 185. Six weeks ago is when they called me, and at first they asked me about 170. I really liked the fight, but the weight didn’t make sense. I was sitting on the couch at 248.”

 

Hansen has spent most of his time in the heavyweight and light heavyweight divisions. He was glaringly outweighed in his last bout, a February loss to Ras Hylton.

 

Only once previously has he downsized to the middleweight threshold, a February 2016 loss to Zach Elkins. In the case of Ewer, who has done most of his work at 170, meeting in the middle might play to Hansen’s advantage.

 

“We’re two different styles of fighters. He’s coming up in weight and I’m coming down,”Hansen disse. “He’s never been in the cage against anybody with my kind of power. When I’m hitting somebody at 200 libras, I’m hitting them with the force of somebody who’s 245. My opponents have told me they’ve never been hit harder by a guy my size. I feel like it’s my fight to lose, as long as I don’t make any mistakes and go in there with the stamina I need to have.”

 

Hansen is confident against Ewer, who had a 5-2 amateur record with notable wins over Ricky Dexter and Crowsneck Boutin before turning pro. He knows better, contudo, than to underestimate any fighter out of the Young’s MMA stable.

 

“I feel like I’m the more talented fighter and that I have more tools in my tool box. But I know Young’s MMA is a great camp and that he trains with a lot of great guys,”Hansen disse. “Chris (Jovem) finds a way to set you up to fight the fight you need to win. Look at the Pat Kelly fight (against Rafael Velado). They prepared to turn that into a kickboxing fight, and then he went out and did just that.”

 

Hansen has seen his name rise into the New England top-five conversation. Most of the fighters ahead of him have experience with larger promotions.

 

He said a win over Ewer could inspire him to travel and continuing to pursue the dream. That’s consistent with the personality he has shown through this second act of his career.

 

“I’ve been fighting the top-level guys in NEF for about the past two-and-a-half years,”Hansen disse, “I always told Peterson to set me up with a guy who’s in the top 10 or just above me. I wanted to work my way up.”

 

From his days as a high school state wrestling champion at Mountain Valley High School, Hansen flaunted a distaste for winning that served him well.

 

In those days, he wore a T-shirt that read, ‘Nobody remembers second place,’ with four gold medals beneath it. Hansen’s attitude remains, but the mainstay of Berserker’s MMA out of the Greater Rumford Community Center noted that it is never only about himself.

 

“I want to win the title for all the people who have supported me and trained with me in Rumford. I also want it for my gym. We’ve done this three times in the amateurs and now we’re going to do it with a pro,"Ele disse. "(GRCC is) just a little on-profit that helps people pursue their dreams. I’d love to hang that belt on the wall. It shows people in the community what we’re capable of here, and hopefully it gets them interested and grows the gym. That’s my goal.”

RUMBLE NO CARTÃO DE LUTA BANGOR CHEIO DE FAVORITOS DE VENTILADORES DO MAINE

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Julho 21, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna ao Cross Insurance Center no sábado noite, Agosto 5, 2017 com o próximo evento misto de artes marciais da promoção luta, “NEF 30: Rumble em Bangor.” Hoje cedo, NEF anunciou o cartão de luta completo para o evento.

No evento principal da noite, Do próprio Bangor CJ Ewer (2-0) vai se reunir Mike Hansen (5-5) de Rumford, Maine em uma competição de cinco rounds para coroar um novo campeão dos médios do NEF MMA Pro. Ewer é membro da academia local de Young’s MMA, enquanto Hansen representa o Berserkers MMA com base na região de River Valley, no estado. Ewer teve um nocaute no carretel de destaque sobre Ruben Redman (0-1) em sua última luta na cruz – exatamente um ano antes do dia em que ele conhecerá Hansen.

O co-evento principal da noite terá o companheiro de equipe de Ewer’s Young, perspectiva invicta de Bangor Aaron Lacey (4-0) enfrentar o veterano do Bellator Bryan Goldsby (17-16). Goldsby representará o desafio mais experiente de Lacey até agora. Lacey tem sido nada menos que “Implacável” – o apelido dele – desde que se tornou profissional. Ele finalizou três de seus quatro oponentes no primeiro round. Só joão santos (3-5) conseguiu sobreviver a três rodadas completas com Lacey no verão passado em Bangor. Lacey venceu a luta por decisão dividida em um acidentado, vai e volta, “luta da noite” atuação.

Completar o card profissional será outra pedra angular de Young, “O” Ryan Sanders (14-8), quem vai conhecer Milwaukee, Veterano de Wisconsin Jay Ellis (14-68) em um concurso welterweight. Sanders é o atual campeão dos leves do NEF MMA Pro, tendo derrotado Jon Lemke (6-8) em uma final de torneio em abril passado para reivindicar o título. A luta com Ellis será um caso sem título. Sanders tem uma seqüência de quatro vitórias consecutivas que começou há um ano no Cross.

A atração principal da parte amadora do card de luta será uma luta pelo título de peso galo amador do NEF MMA. Fred Lear (5-2) de Bangor vai lutar com Jefferson, Maine de Walt Shea (2-0) para o campeonato vago de 135 libras. Lear e Shea continuarão uma rivalidade competitiva que se desenvolveu nas fileiras amadoras nos últimos anos entre o MMA Young’s de Lear e a equipe de MMA de Primeira Classe de Shea com base em Brunswick, Maine.

A abertura da noite será uma luta de mulheres entre Angela Jovem (2-2), esposa do fundador do MMA de Young e treinador principal Chris Young, e Flórida Jessica “A viúva negra” Pagamento (5-2). Espera-se que a sucata seja empolgante. Jovem, uma enfermeira registrada no Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC), colocou vários “luta da noite” apresentações que levaram o público ao frenesi. Borga fará sua terceira viagem ao Maine no ano passado para competir na jaula do NEF.
