Lewiston, Maine (Out 31, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) a se mma Young nan nan Bangor pwograme yo fè premye li kont Rachèl Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammateKira Innocenti (0-0) se tou pwograme yo fè premye li kont Hannah Sparrell (0-0) soti nan premye klas mma nan Brunswick.
Angela Young se madanm lan nan Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.
“It’s important for me to test myself,” di Young, “se pa sèlman nan kalòj la viniSeptember 12th, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, li te plis sou andire nan obstak yo ak pouse limit mwen kòm yon konkiran nan yon fason ki pa t 'janm fè tès. Li te sou pwouve tèt mwen, antrenè m 'ak koekipye mwen pou m' te touche dwat mwen nan etap nan kalòj la.”
Ki kote nan fanm ki sot pase yo yo te rlege nan atraksyon ak kado pòsyon yo nan espò konba evènman, tankou boksè, Mma fanm pa te sèlman leve soti vivan nan sitiyasyon egal ak gason an mma, li gen, nan kèk fason, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (Ch). The promotion’s top star, epi ki pi wo li yo peye atlèt, se bantamweight chanpyon fanm li yo nan ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 kat ap fèt nan forefront de yon mouvman yo elaji opòtinite pou fanm nan nivo rejyonal.
“Mma pou fanm se pa lajman diferan pase sa li se pou gason,” deklare Young. “Li evidan, Mma se yon espò majorite gason, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Atravè sa a kan batay mwen te grappled, sparred ak batay kont mma ekip batay Young la ak yo te bay sipò inègzorableman. Pou ou kab vin youn nan premye konbatan yo ki fi soti nan Young a sètènman gen presyon li yo (osi byen ke yo te marye ak Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Mwen atann mwen fanm yo mete yo sou yon montre gwo paske nou gen yon bagay yo pwouve. Mwen mete san, swe ak dlo nan je nan fòmasyon ak ou pi bon kwè mwen an konsideran opozan m 'fè menm bagay la tou. Sa yo te di, fanm yo yo ale nan mache dèyè li ki plante poto yo nan kalòj la nef.”
Koekipyèr Tou de Young a, Kira Innocenti, osi byen gen opozan li nan “Nef XIX,” Rachèl Reinheimer, sanble yo dakò ak opinyon Young la sou kwasans lan rapid nan mma fanm.
“Mma Fanm se nan monte la,” Di Innocenti. “Chak disiplin anseye yon yon bagay fanm li pa konnen sou tèt li. Mwen te wè li bati konfyans nan tèt mwen ak anpil lòt moun. Fanm yo plis sou tapi yo, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, ak tèt mwen bay li nou an tout ak ale nan lagè jis tankou vanyan sòlda yo gason an mma Young yo fè. Nou te travay di ki reprezante jimnastik nou an. Nou pral goumen ak fyète, pasyon, epi ki gen kwen yo pi fò kap soti pou nou. Mwen kapab asire ou ke epizod fanm yo pral inoubliyab.”
“Mma Fanm se yon espò jis tankou nenpòt ki lòt,” deklare Reinheimer nan Everett, Massachusetts. “Li pa yon fim aksyon kote ewo a kouri soti nan Woods yo pandan twa jou nan tren ak yon mèt masyal atis ak Lè sa a defèt yon lame tout antye. Li pa yon tapaj ba. Li pa yon ale al kache kò tounen. Fanm sa yo se atlèt grav ki tren avèk dilijans pou ane lè l sèvi avèk fòmasyon an pi bon, ekipman ak resous ki disponib. Fanm ki konpetisyon nan espò konba depanse dè milye de èdtan nan san, swe ak dlo nan je achevman espò yo. Yo fè bèt pou touye. Anplis de sa, gen règ ak limit tan ak prekosyon pou sekirite. Lè yon moun se abitye avèk lide a nan mma fanm, Mwen li konpare l ak boksè oswa kloti, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Opozan mwen ak mwen, yo toulède yo soti nan grav, kan travay di. Nou tou de se manman ak li pran yon anpil nan detèminasyon ak kondwi fè sa a espò pandan y ap jungle travay ak timoun. Mwen t ap travay san pran souf ak ekip mwen an depi batay dènye mwen amelyore jwèt mwen nan tout aspè. Mwen se konsa rekonesan pou fòmasyon an etonan ak koekipye nan Sityodtong ki pouse m 'sa difisil. Sou Sèptanm 12, ou kapab atann yon lagè.”
Pifò moun, tou de gason ak fanm, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, fin vye granmoun ak jenn ti gason, kolye ble ak kolye blan, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, sepandan, yo mòde pa pinèz la konpetisyon.
“Mwen te prezante nan mond lan mma aprè yo te siyen pitit fi mwen moute pou klas jyu jitsu panse li ta benefisye nan li pou aspè nan defans pwòp tèt ou patisipe nan espò a,” raple Hanna Sparrell. “Mwen wè jan li tonbe nan renmen ak jwèt la, pran fòs ak konfyans, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, Lè sa a, finalman te vle ak yo eksplore lòt aspè yo nan mond lan mma. Pou ou kab vin nan jimnastik la te vin devni yon dezyèm kay pou m 'ak pitit fi mwen, patnè fòmasyon mwen, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, li nan yon egzamen sou Atletisme, osi byen ke yon egzamen sou kondwi mantal ak emosyonèl. Depi ke yo te prezante yo melanje mond lan Arts masyal mwen mete kò mwen an, kè, ak nanm nan fòmasyon, ak konpetisyon nan bout sa a se enpòtan nan m 'pou plizyè rezon, pa sèlman nan reprezante tèt mwen ak travay di mwen, men tou, yo reprezante tout travay la difisil, dedikasyon, ak ankourajman mwen te resevwa nan men zanmi m ', enstriktè, patnè fòmasyon, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, li fizikman se yon gwo antrennman, epi tou se yon fòm bon nan "terapi" nan fen yon jou petèt estrès. Mwen gen anpil fanm mwen tren ak, pa tout nan yo se planifikasyon sou batay, men benefis ki genyen nan espò a se toujou la, epi yo renmen li jis menm bagay la.”
Innocenti, tankou anpil, te vin patisipe nan espò batay kòm yon fason jwenn nan, epi rete nan, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.
“Tès tèt mwen nan yon melanje bout Arts masyal se enpòtan nan m 'nan anpil konsidere. De zan de sa, Mwen te twò gwo epi difikilte yo jwenn yon an sante, chemen ranpli. Yon jou, Mwen leve, li pran lavi pa sèl wa yo ak nan mwatye nan yon ane, pèdi swasant liv sou pwòp mwen. Mwen akeyi ki defi, plas, e yo te vle yon lòt. Arawon “Inplakabl” Lacey di m 'sou Mma Young nan epi mwen te ke yo oblije tcheke li soti. Apre kite nan pòt yo, ap eseye soti tout nan klas yo, ak satisfè fanmi an ki te fè li tèlman espesyal, Mwen te branche. Mwen te fè li yon objektif yo dwe youn nan premye konbatan yo ki fi nan ekip la batay joui pi dominan nan New England. Mwen te toujou te yon konkiran. Mwen renmen defi tèt mwen ak pouse limit ke yo te panse yo dwe enposib reyalize. K ap viv melanje fòm nan Arts masyal se difisil. Li mande plis devouman pase mwen janm imajine sa posib. Li kraze ou menm ak bati ou tounen moute nan moun nan ou se vre wi: yo. Sa a batay se yon bagay enpòtan paske mwen te gate ak yon ekip etonan bò kote m 'ki anseye pa antrenè yo ki pi motivasyon ak ankouraje. Se mwen menm ki detèmine ki fè yo fyè ak di yo mèsi avèk men mwen te leve soti vivan.”
“Melanj Martial Arts se tès la ultim nan lespri imen an sou chak nivo: fizikman, mantalman, ak emosyonèl,” di Reinheimer. “Mwen gen yon dezi boule konnen ki jan lwen mwen ka ale. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, te lavi m 'vin fwontyè-mwens. Lavi m 'sou kabann lan vin pi bon lavi mwen an kabann ak vis vèrsa nan. Li nan dezabiye lwen tout distraksyon yo nesesè ak distile lavi m 'desann nan sa ki vrèman enpòtan, nan ak soti nan bag la. Mwen santi mwen tankou li nan te ede m 'vin pi pi pre pwòp tèt ou natif natal mwen. Li nan pi bon an nan Arts masyal ak ansyen lavi modèn.”
Nan kat fanm yo goumen sou mòn lan “Nef XIX” kat, only Reinheimer has actively competed in the past. She dominated her opponent this past spring on her way to a unanimous decision victory in her debut. All of the women fighting on September 12 nan Lewiston kontan pou opòtinite a.
“Nef se yon pwomosyon solid ak yon gwo repitasyon,” di Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Mwen pa ka tann!”
“Mwen panse ke fanatik yo ka atann yon montre gwo tout bon,” sèksklama Sparrell. “Pi souvan pase pa batay fanm yo yo te pwouve yo dwe trè amizan, nou nan kou vle pwouve tèt nou merite nan espò evidans gason ki domine sa a. Sa a se premye a pou twa nan kat nan fanm yo sou kat sa a, Se konsa, mwen konnen gen a pwal yon anpil nan kè ak detèminasyon jete nan batay sa yo. Mwen konnen, pèsonèlman, Mwen trè eksite yo reprezante! I couldn’t be more excited to be making my MMA debut in the NEF cage; Mwen te ap gade anpil nan konbatan yo ki mwen idolatre ak gade jiska nan espò sa a soti nan pozisyon yo nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan, gen opòtinite a kounye a dwe soti la ak yo vrèman se yon onè vre.”
“Kòm mwa septanm 12yèm rapidman apwòch, M 'ap vin pi plis eksite ak pare jwenn nan kalòj la,” di Young. “Sa a te gen byen yon vwayaj ak mwen se rekonesan pou opòtinite pou fè amatè mma premye mwen ak nef.”
“Se mwen menm ki vwèman emosyone fè premye mma mwen ak nef mwa septanm 12yèm sou,” Di Innocenti. “Mwen te travay san pran souf yo ka resevwa opòtinite sa a epi mwen menm mwen kontan ke lè a rive.”

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Out 21, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX: REZIDAN,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. Headlining the amateur portion of the fight card will beJosh Harvey (4-1) defann Tit la nef mma Amateur lejè kont Ryan Dibartolomeo(4-3). Dènyèman, Harvey te envite nan nef ko-pwopriyetè ak promoteur Matt Peterson sou nef Podcast a.
Harvey was introduced to the mats early in life. He started wrestling in junior high school and continued through his high school years. He began boxing at the age of 15 and trained in the ring for the next seven years. It was not until he attended “Nef VIII: Nasyon fè kolizyon” nan Bangor ki Harvey reyalize li te kapab gen yon tan kap vini nan espò a nan mma.
“Lè nef rive Bangor ak mwen ap gade Ray Bwa pran tit la, ak mwen vin chonje l 'soti nan lit lekòl segondè, sa ki te Replik mwen an jwenn nan sou sa a,” Di Harvey. “I knew it was a true possibility to go somewhere in MMA. Apre kolèj, there’s nowhere for wrestlers to go. Mma, that’s the outlet. That’s why you see wrestlers dominating in MMA all the way to the top.”
Byento apre evennman an, then Young’s MMA wrestling coach Mark Heathcote reached out to Harvey through Facebook to invite him to train with the team. Harvey quickly found a home at the Bangor gym founded by Chris Young. He joined in on the massive success the team had already found in the MMA cages of New England.
“Mwen te akeyi trè cho nan Young a,” Harvey recalled. “Everyone was very kind over there. Bruce (Boyington, aktyèl nef mma Pwofesyonèl lejè chanpyon) te premye moun ki pran m ', pa vle di anba zèl li, but to get together outside of the gym and we became friends. As far as the success Young’s has had as a team, Mwen pa pral di ou ka lakre li tout moute nan antrenè siperyè, men nou te gen pi bon nan alantou, omwen nan eta sa a, petèt nan New England.”
Sou wout li nan reklame nef mma Amateur lejè chanpyona a sa a mwa Jen sot pase, Harvey finished all three of his NEF opponents in a total of just over three minutes. Harvey, sepandan, wè lavni l 'nan espò a nan divizyon an plum.
“Mwen pa tren fini yo tout nan premye tou an,” Di Harvey. “That’s just how it wound up. Maybe you’ll see me go the distance as the competition gets thicker. That’s why I love this fight with Ryan (Dibartolomeo). Li se, Mwen kwè, Nimewo-de klase, so this is a good way to find out where I lay in that level. I’m not a 55er. As far as I’m concerned, I’m a 45er that’s fighting at 55. Best 45er? Amateur in New England? Wi. The game’s gonna change when I go professional. We’ll see where I stack up there.”
Lè Harvey te kòmanse diskite sou opozan potansyèl pou “Nef XIX” ak matchmakers nef, he was very clear that he wanted the toughest opponent they could find for him. If he wanted tough, he will get just that in Ryan Dibartolomeo. Dibartolomeo is out of John Fain’s Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire. After dropping his first three, Dibartolomeo te genyen kat dènye batay l 'nan yon ranje, yon tras enpresyonan ki te kòmanse nan “Nef X” nan mwa septanm nan 2013.
“Tout batay l 'ke li te te genyen yo te pa desizyon,” Di Harvey. “Nan lide m ', he let the judges win those fights for him. Fights aren’t won by judges. Fights are won by fighters. My prediction is it’s gonna be a finish. I’m gonna go out there, kill or be killed. He’s either gonna finish me or I’m gonna finish him. That’s how it’s gonna happen.”

Lewiston, Maine (Out 17, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX: REZIDAN,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. Featured on the professional portion of the card will be a light-heavyweight matchup betweenCrowsneck Boutin (1-0) ak Mike “Moustach nan” Hansen (2-2). Both men are competing under NEF developmental deals.
Dènyèman, Boutin was NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson’s guest on the NEF Podcast. Boutin discussed, nan mitan lòt sijè, ap grandi nan LUBEC, Maine, bout la k ap vini ak Hansen, and his recent signing to a multi-fight NEF development deal. Boutin and Peterson touched on their first meeting some three-and-a-half years ago, yon ti tan anvan Boutin te fè premye li nan amatè “Nef III.”
“Mwen te pandye soti ak yon kopen kèk moun ki te resevwa tikè a ou (Nef) premye evènman, Se konsa, mwen te ale nan sa ki epi li te bagay la pi gran,” recalled Boutin. “I remember talking with people and then contacting you. I really wasn’t doing anything at that time. I was feeling kind of lost. I was kind of clinging to the feeling of want. I just wanted to do something. Plis, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.”
Ki pa gen okenn fòmasyon fòmèl, Boutin would lose his first bout. Yon ti tan apre, Peterson mete Boutin an kontak ak antrenè Jon Pinette nan Enstiti a Choi nan Portland, Maine. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, an menm tan an, tou, tankou zanmi fò ak relasyon ak koekipye.
“Li se yon atmosfè trè pè,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “Mwen pa janm te te rete nan yon sèl kote trè long tout lavi m ', except for this place. I don’t see myself leaving. It’s a great atmosphere over here. I called Jon. I remember being really nervous to call Jon, Mwen te panse sou sa a pi bonè, men li te vrèman envite… Tout moun isit la ki te reyèlman envite, really supporting. There’s a really good mix of people here. We have young to old. We have everything in between. It’s a very accepting place to be. It’s a great place to train. Everyone gets along inside and outside the gym.”
Boutin te pran desizyon an yo vire pwofesyonèl pi bonè ane sa apre li fin konpetisyon nan yon total de 13 batay amatè. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. In doing so, Boutin te vin jwenn yon mezi nan tire revanj kòm li te protégé Cowette nan Brent Dillingham (1-1) ki moun ki te lage Boutin premye pèt li nan amatè premye Boutin a nan “Nef III.” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, men echanj la pòs-batay ant Boutin ak Dillingham nan “Nef III” nan 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.
“Osi lwen ke Brent Dillingham ale, li se yon moun mwen ta vrèman renmen al goumen byento nan 205 si li ka jwenn nan fòm yo ak kontre avè m 'gen,” Boutin declared. “Mwen ta renmen genyen ki nenpòt moman batay byento.”
Boutin pral gen travay li koupe soti pou l 'ak Hansen sou Septanm 12 nan Lewiston. Hansen is an accomplished wrestler, li te gen te genyen yon chanpyona eta a pou Lekòl Segondè Mountain Valley nan RUMFORD, Maine in 2004. Boutin, sepandan, se konfyans nan kapasite pwòp tèt li tou de kanpe ak sou kabann lan.
“Mwen santi mwen pare pou tout kote batay la ale,” di Boutin. “Si li rete sou de pye yo, evantyèlman plis pase twa jij, I’m gonna try to knock him out. It’s always fun to knock people out. If it goes to the ground, Mwen pral met la.”
