I’m happy to have the opportunity to get back into the NEF cage,” said Tyler. “I have put in a lot of time into improving my skill set. I feel amazing going into this fight with Cory Trial. На 23 април, everyone is going to see that I’m back.

Training out of Ruthless MMA & Бокс на Бентън, Maine, Trial predicts another KO finish atNEF 22.

 

“Първи, I want to thank NEF for giving me this opportunity and thank Jeremy for taking the fight,” каза Trial. “I’ve been dealing with a couple injuries the last few months and it’s given me time to reflect and get my game right and in this fight everybody will see that I’m back! I was dealing with a couple of injuries leading up to my last fight, but I showed up ’cause I love to fight. I’m healthy now, training with the best team around and you’ll see the best Cory you’ve seen. This fight won’t go to the judgesI’ll be coming for the knockout! This is a fight you won’t want to miss!”

I am very excited for the opportunity to fight for a title in my hometown,” said Nelson. “Caleb is a talented wrestler, but I feel my jiu-jitsu is far superior. No matter where the fight goes, I see my hand being raised at the end.

Тази битка ще бъде първият път, когато няма да се бия пред болния си баща. За него е много да ходи на тези събития, тъй като е толкова болен и постоянно е на кислород. Но баща ми заяви, че ще стигне до последна битка, ако получа шанс за титла. Мисля, че битката с Дейв Смит и победата биха ме поставили в добро място за борба за титла. Търся да се бия пред баща ми, който ме тласка да бъда мъжът, който съм днес. Така, за три кръга 23 април, Ще настоявам по-силно, отколкото в миналото, за да получа тази възможност. Винаги се стремя да впечатля тълпата. Мисля, че борбата с някой като Смит ще задържи тълпата на крака.”

 

Дейв Смит е член на Berserkers MMA, базиран от Rumford, Maine.

AMATEUR MMA CHAMPION VACATES TITLE TO MAKE PROFESSIONAL DEBUT AT NEF 22

Lewiston, Maine (Март 9, 2016) - New England Битки (NEF), Номер едно регионално промоция борбата на Америка, ще проведе следващото си събитие, “NEF 22: Всички пътища водят ТУК” на Събота, Април 23, 2016 най Androscoggin Bank Colisée в Lewiston на, Maine. Бойната карта ще включва комбинация от смесени бойни изкуства (MMA) и професионални боксови мачове. По-рано днес, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” борбата карта. Арон “Безмилостен” Lacey (0-0) will make his professional debut against tough veteran “Нечуплива 2.0” Дерек Шори(3-5) в бой тегло от 145 килограма.

 

Aaron Lacey leaves behind a legacy of victory in the amateur ranks. He put together an impressive record of 6-1 since his debut in the fall of 2012. Lacey capped off his amateur stint by winning the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Championship last November, handing Caleb Horner (4-1) the first loss of his career in the process. Lacey is currently the number-one ranked amateur featherweight in the northeast. Той е член на MMA Янг в Бангор, Maine, и на 23 април Lacey will make his professional debut alongside training partner, and NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion, Джош Харви (0-0). Lacey will vacate the amateur featherweight title to enter the professional division. NEF executives are expected to make an announcement on the status of that championship in the very near future.

 

I am super excited to finally be making my pro debut come April,” said Lacey. “This is a goal I have had for a long time and something I have always been working towards. Derek Shorey is a very tough challenge as a debut fight. He has a tremendous skill set and a ton of experience. As far as vacating my belt, I had always viewed capturing the title as the capstone to my amateur career. In the moment, it was an incredible feeling and it is something I will always be proud of. Part of what has made me successful is that I always keep looking forward for my next big challenge and my coaches along with myself believe that those challenges are within the professional ranks.

 

After getting off to a 3-2 start in his professional career, Derek Shorey is looking to bounce back from a three-fight skid. Last September, Shorey scored a career-defining, highlight-reel knockout of Tollison Lewis (0-5), but would go on to taste defeat in his next three matchups. A 1998 Class-C Maine state wrestling champion for Foxcroft Academy, Shorey is the founder and head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club based out of Dexter, Maine. He served his country in the United States Navy for four years of active duty and did a tour of Iraq with SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27. Shorey is hoping to find his rhythm in the cage against Lacey atNEF 22.

 

Aaron is an incredibly tough, resilient fighter,” noted Shorey. “He keeps coming at you, solid technique. Nothing but respect for him and his skills. Това се каза, I’ve been growing rapidly under new instruction, but have been unable to find my rhythm in the cage. I feel that Aaron will bring his steady, solid pace and be met by my speed and power. I’m excited to welcome him into the professional ranks.

She looks forward to representing First Class MMA for a second time atNEF 22.

 

I’m excited to be entering the NEF cage again, на 23 април, against Angela Young,” said Sparrell. “Angela, coming from the school recently named New England’s ‘team of the year,’ has proven to be a heavy hitter, as we saw in her blood-shedding battle at ‘NEF XIX.’ Това се каза, First Class has been putting its name on the map, displaying our skilled training, coaches and leadership, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about going head-to-head against Young’s MMA once again. I learned a lot from the experience from my last fight and have used it as a catalyst in my focused training this winter. I will be entering the NEFXXII cage confidently and ready for a good solid fight.

 

Angela Young is the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young. Like Sparrell, Young made her debut in the NEF cage last fall at “NEF XIX.” In a wild, “битка на нощта” производителност, Young battled back and forth with Rachel Reinheimer (2-0) of Team Sityodtong. Reinheimer would win the decision on the judges’ скоркарти, but Young would win the respect of the entire New England MMA community with her valiant effort. На 23 април, Young vows to chalk up the first win on her record.

 

I am beyond ecstatic for the opportunity to fight for NEF again,” заяви Young. “Especially against an opponent as respectful and professional as Hannah. I’ve put the work in, I’ve improved my game and I’m aiming for another ‘fight of the night.’ Този път, обаче, my hand will be raised.

It’s going to be spectacular.

Like the Bishop match, Boutin is preparing for another war with Montella on Април 23.

 

Brandon is a very tough opponent,” каза Boutin. “He’s going to present me with many obstacles. My training is grueling and I’ll be prepared for a war.

 

Brandon Montella is a 1998 graduate of Carrabec High School in North Anson, Maine.

When two men as determined as we are get in the ring in front of a large crowd, magic happens. We grow larger than life and the fans get one hell of a treat.

I think the crowd will be very happy and impressed with the talent level James brings. This is a big test for me and I hope that with nine weeks to prepare it’s a test that I can pass. He brings so much to the table that can give me problems in the ring, so me showing up anything less than 100% will be unacceptable.

 

I know that Tommy (Duquette), Ed (LaVache), Luke (Yetten) and the rest of Boston Boxing will push me to the limit and bring me into the ring prepared. James Lester has been around and fought some very good fighters. He had an amazing amateur career, and has spent years training at one of the most legendary boxing facility’s in the world, the Kronk Gym. Who doesn’t want to see this fight? See you all 23 април, and as always thank you all so much for the amazing support. The tickets sales are unreal.

 

As Berry noted, James Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym of Detroit, Мичиган. It was there he honed his craft alongside world champions like Thomas “Наемен убиец” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Нокаута), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Нокаута), Ленъкс Люис (41-2-1, 32 Нокаута) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Нокаута), да назовем само няколко, under legendary trainer Emanuel Steward. Като аматьор, Lester was ranked nationally at number-two. He competed against the likes of future Olympian Andre Dirrell (24-2, 16 Нокаута) and future WBC Super Middleweight Champion Anthony Dirrell (28-1-1, 22 Нокаута) while in the amateur ranks. The bout with Berry will mark the second time Lester has ventured to New England in his professional career. He competed on a card in Worcester, Massachusetts in 2011. Lester looks forward to making his return to the region.

 

Fighting Brandon will be exciting, and I’m ready for anything he has to bring,” said Lester. “Fighting in New England was awesome a few years ago against Ryan Kielczewski (24-1, 7 Нокаута). I met some real good people there and can’t wait to come put on a show for them again.

TRASH TALK BEGINS AROUND FEATHERWEIGHT BOUT AT NEF 22

Lewiston, Maine (Февруари 12, 2016) - New England Битки (NEF), Номер едно регионално промоция борбата на Америка, ще проведе следващото си събитие, “NEF 22: Всички пътища водят ТУК” на Събота, Април 22, 2016най Androscoggin Bank Colisée в Lewiston на, Maine. Бойната карта ще включва комбинация от смесени бойни изкуства (MMA) и професионални боксови мачове. По-рано днес, NEF announced the addition of a featherweight contest to the amateur portion of the “NEF 22” борбата карта. Bantamweight Champion Джони занаяти (4-0) will move up in weight to face Taylor Costantino (2-1) при 145 паунда.

 

Crafts was successful last Saturday in his attempt to capture the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Title. He took out Henry Clark (3-2) in the third round of their bout in Lewiston. Crafts is a decorated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) brown belt out of Team New England United (NEW). He also cross-trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) в Lewiston.

 

I’m excited to step up to 145 to fight Taylor,” said Crafts of the upcoming matchup with Costantino. “I will be very strong at that weight seeing as I cut pretty extensively to make 135. It will allow me to focus on different areas this camp instead of putting a lot of my energy into cutting weight.

 

Costantino is himself coming off a big win last Saturday at “NEF 21.” It took him a mere 25-seconds to down Frank Johanson (0-1), a training partner of Crafts at CMBJJ, в първия кръг. Costantino is clear that he is coming to fight on Април 23, and he does not plan on engaging in a grappling contest with Crafts.

 

Respect to him for coming up in weight,” said Costantino of Crafts. “He’s a glorified pajama warrior that has never been punched in the face with any type of authority. He will clinch quickly and look for the takedown. He’ll realize real quick that he has never fought or trained with anybody like me.

 

Crafts and Costantino are not strangers to one another. Еха, the two met in a jiu-jitsu tournament with Crafts coming out on top.

 

Taylor and I have competed before in a sport jiu-jitsu tournament,” recalled Crafts. “Taylor says I am a glorified pajama warrior who has never been punched in the face, but if I recall correctly, I submitted him without my ‘pajamasno-gi in that tournament pretty quickly. I train with a lot of very talented and tough fighters daily who punch me in the face very hard. People say the same thing about me not getting punched – добре, I have had four fights and they just haven’t had the chance to. Anyone who has trained with high-level fighters will tell you that gi jiu-jitsu only makes you more of a technical fighter. If he doesn’t believe that, that is finehe will feel it on 23 април.”

 

Johnny did submit me when I first moved to Maine,” Costantino admitted. “Legit submission, and his pure grappling is definitely high level. My grappling is MMA based, not slow jitsu. It’s grimy, grueling and punishing. Pure grappling, I would worry about his game. But it’s a fight, sport jiu-jitsu means next to nothing to me.

 

I wish I could say people will get to see my whole game, but I can’t guarantee that. Johnny will feel my power and look to go to his comfort zone. I will break him, you will see quit in his eyes.

 

After Taylor won in impressive fashion at NEF 21, he immediately screamed at me while still inside the cage that he wanted a black belt for his next challenge,” каза NEF съсобственик и сватовник Мат Питърсън. “Добре, he’s getting a brown belt in Johnny Crafts who, by all accounts, is due to receive his black belt any day, е перфектен 4-0 in the cage and is the current NEF amateur bantamweight champion. This fight is dripping with drama and will define a future top contender for the featherweight title in NEF’s stacked 145-pound division.
