Earlier today, the promotion announced the first amateur bout on the fight card. Fred Lear (3-1) se pwograme al kontre Henry Clark (2-1) nan yon catchweight nan 140-liv.

 

Lear made his amateur debut with NEF in the summer of 2013. He has accumulated a perfect record of 3-0 nan kalòj la nef, his only amateur loss coming outside the promotion on a fight card in New Hampshire this past spring. Two of Lear’s three victories in NEF have come by strikes while in mount position. He has exhibited one of the most effective ground-and-pound offenses of any amateur currently on the NEF roster. Lear is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

Lear is correct in his conclusion. Henry Clark represents the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine, and he has shown a wide array of abilities in his first three bouts both on his feet and on the mat. In his debut fight at “Nef XV” otòn dènye, Clark te byen file ak frape l 'nan premye tou an kont Sheldon Bang (2-2) prior to submitting Bang off his back in the second with a triangle choke. Clark recognizes that Lear is especially deadly in top position, men se konfyans ke li te ka vin lwen ak viktwa a sou Septanm 12 nan Lewiston.

 

“Mwen se absoliman fou sou sa a batay,” s'ékriya Clark. “Sa a se batay la egzak mwen vle kòm yon atis k ap grandi masyal. Fred is super tough and a nightmare once he gets on top of you. Sa te di, I feel as though I have the skill and ability to ruin Fred’s night on September 12th. I’m hungry for this challenge.”

NEW ENGLAND batay gen fò premye mwatye nan 2015

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Jen 30, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, ki te fèt dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made In America,” yon ti kras plis pase de semèn de sa nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. The event was the third held by the fight promotion at the venue in just a four-month stretch, epi li mete limit peryòd la demi-ane ki gen plis siksè nan istwa pwomosyon nan.

 

Nef se brainchild la nan avoka Massachusetts Nick DiSalvo ak Maine Eta Reprezantan Matt Peterson (D-RUMFORD). The pair met in the fall of 2011 and formed a business partnership with the intent of promoting MMA events. Both being avid, fanatik tout vi li nan espò konba, DiSalvo ak Peterson deside nan boutik konfigirasyon nan Lewiston, Maine, the famed home of the Muhammad Ali-Sonny Liston world heavyweight championship rematch of 1965. NEF’s first event in Lewiston, ki te fèt nan mwa fevriye 2012, outdrew Ali-Liston II pa plis pase 800 fanatik ak plis pase 3200 nan prezans nan lekòl.

 

Depi lè sa a, ak nan yon mache kote konpetitè te floundered, NEF has continued to draw huge crowds to its events. The promotion has hosted fights of many UFC veterans, ki gen ladan ansyen de-tan chanpyon pwa loud mond Tim “Maine-IAC la” Sylvia (31-10). Nan 2013, NEF co-promoted an event in Lewiston with national promotion Bellator. That event was broadcast live on Spike TV. Anplis de sa, Videyo nef an sou Youtube gen dè milyon de opinyon atravè lemond, ak en evènman pwomosyon nan ka souvan ka wè sou AXS televizyon an Anndan mma pwogram.

 

Nan pwemye mwatye nan 2015, plis pase 6,000 people have been drawn to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee for three NEF events. It is the largest attendance number the promotion has accumulated in such a brief period of time – yon plis 18 semèn soti nan “Nef XVI” souFevriye 7 to “Nef XVIII Atik” sou jen 13. It is also another example of NEF thriving in a time when other regional fight promotions struggle.

 

“Li nan vrèman jis rezilta a nan yon anpil nan travay di ak eksperyans biznis,” Di DiSalvo, yon 1999 gradye sòm nan jaden cum laude nan Merrimack College nan North Andover, MA, kote li te yon Scholar Prezidansyèl, epi pita yon diplome nan Suffolk University Law School nan Boston, MA. “Nef reyisi paske Matt ak mwen gen yon pasyon reyèl pou pwomosyon batay, and we’re willing to do the not-so-glamorous grunt work that others shy away from. You need to understand your audience. You need to know your way around a spreadsheet, yon enskri chèk, and have a good grasp on finance and budgeting. It’s a business like any other.”

 

Akòz kwasans lan nan biznis la, DiSalvo and Peterson decided to add a third executive to the mix earlier this year. They hired longtime Bellator Vice President of Talent Relations Sam Caplan to serve as NEF’s Director of National Business Development.

 

“Nan yon moman nan gwo kontraksyon ak consolidation lè li rive rejyonal mma espas ki la, Nef te ale nan yon direksyon ki egzak opoze ak aktyèlman ogmante biznis jeneral yo,” deklare Caplan lè jwenn pou fè kòmantè. “Pou di nivo nan kwasans ki nef ki te wap dènyèman se ra ta dwe yon egzajere. Kwasans pwomosyon a se yon kontra Bondye nan pwofesyonalis ak biznis disiplin la nan propriyeter chèf li yo, Nick DiSalvo ak Matt Peterson.”

BOYINGTON PASE tèt-a-tèt ak RAIO JOU anvan batay: “Mwen pral antre nan peyi a ak detwi l '”

Kite yon kòmantè

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Jen 10, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made In America,” sa a Samdi lannwit, Jen 13, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Dènyèman, headliners Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-8), nef mma Pwofesyonèl lejè chanpyon an, ak Jan “Premye Gwoup” Ray(2-7) Joined nef ko-pwopriyetè ak promoteur Matt Peterson sou yon espesyal “Tèt-a-tèt” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, nan mitan lòt sijè.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “men onn.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington te rale ke li te senpleman siyal fanatik li nan mitan foul moun la ki kenbe la pa te ap fè nenpòt domaj.

 

“Mwen ka di ou ki jan, jou swa sa te fini,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Fondamantalman, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, ak jan mwen te pwan biceps gòch mwen ak men gòch mwen te ale dèyè tèt li, ref la sispann batay la… Mwen te sezi ke li te eksplwatè paske, onètman, Mwen te konnen ke mwen te gen yon anpil nan presyon sou machwè l '… Si an reyalite li te leve, ki absorb pou l '.”

 

“Nan ki sitiyasyon, Mwen espesifikman sonje Bickford gade nan m ', Mwen se fè fas a moute, li te ale pou kou m epi mwen leve,” Di Boyington. “Tout moun kòmanse Roaring reyèl byen fò ak mwen sonje Bickford di, 'Pa gen Bruce, ou pa ka di ke '… Si ou panse ke mwen soumèt oswa mwen se nan pwoblèm oswa ou pa ka respire, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ou pa ka di ke,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Mwen wè yon bann bagay sa yo diferan ki Jan te di sou entènèt, ak yon anpil nan bagay sa yo lòt moun yo te di, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Anvan yo fè Boyington bay moute do l ', many felt he had been winning that first round. Vreman vre, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Fatalman, Mwen panse ke Jan ta ve yo te frape soti,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Mwen pa panse mwen pral soumèt l ', because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mwen panse ke si ref la pa t 'sispann nan moman an, lè m 'te sou machwè l' ak avanbra mwen epi mwen te rive dèyè kou l ',” Ray espekile, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Se konsa,, Mwen pa panse ke li ta te ale nan yon dezyèm tou.”

 

Nan jou sa yo, semèn ak mwa ki vini apre batay la, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “Nef XVIII Atik,” tou de atlèt manyen sou sa rematch a vle di yo, ak sa yo bezwen pwouve nan fen semèn sa a ap vini.

 

“Mwen jis pa ka antre nan peyi a ak bat Jan,” Di Boyington. “Menm fanatik pwòp tèt li ap tann ki… Mwen pa ka jis ale nan gen sou June 13thand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Mwen konnen ke, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, paske lòt bra a se pa menm k ap travay kounye a… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Nan sans Bruce fini m 'byen vit, ak fè li fasil, epi yo pa vrèman mangonmen sou batay la twòp, Mwen jis jwenn li derespektan tankou yon bann bagay sa yo li te di m ', fanmi m ak zanmi m ',” replied Raio. “Te gen fwa apre batay ki sot pase a lè moun yo te remersye m ' (sou Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Se konsa,, apre ke mwen te di 'Bruce ak mwen yo se pa reyèlman zanmi ankò,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… men lè moun ki mank respè m 'tankou li te gen li difisil renmen nèg la.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Me 21, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe dizwityèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XVIII Atik: Made In America,” sou Samdi, Jen 13, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) fè fas a Johnny Atizana (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

 

Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, Maine, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the Jen 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “Nef XVIII Atik,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.

 

“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so June 13th can’t get here fast enough.”

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “Nef XVIII Atik,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 Rookie pou Ane a” by NEF fans.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”
