Ebe ọ bụ na oge, na a n'ọma ahịa ebe asọmpi na-floundered, NEF has continued to draw huge crowds to its events. The promotion has hosted fights of many UFC veterans, gụnyere mbụ abụọ oge ụwa heavyweight mmeri Tim “The Maine-iac” Sylvia (31-10). Na 2013, NEF co-promoted an event in Lewiston with national promotion Bellator. That event was broadcast live on Spike TV.

It is the largest attendance number the promotion has accumulated in such a brief period of time – a ọzọ 18 izu si “NEF XVI” naFebruary 7 ka “NEF XVIII” na June 13.

You need to understand your audience. You need to know your way around a spreadsheet, a ego aha, and have a good grasp on finance and budgeting. It’s a business like any other.

 

N'ihi na uto nke azụmahịa, 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.

 

“Mgbe oge nke oké mkpi na igba mgbe ọ na-abịa na mpaghara Emmanuel ohere, NEF arahụ na kpọmkwem abụghị ntụziaka na n'ezie ụba ha n'ozuzu azụmahịa,” kwuru Caplan mgbe ruru n'ihi na ikwu. “Iji na-ekwu na ọkwa nke ibu na NEF e enwe n'oge na-adịbeghị bụ obere ga-abụ ihe ekwesighi.

Na nso nso, headliners Bruce “Mara Nwa” Boyington (10-8), na NEF Emmanuel Ọkachamara Kedu otu m ga onye mmeri, na John “Mbụ na klas” Ray(2-7) sonyeere NEF ngalaba-nwe na matchmaker Matt Peterson na a pụrụ iche “Isi na-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, ndị ọzọ isiokwu.

 

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 “aka-efegharị efegharị.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington alụso na ọ bụ nanị egosi ya Fans na ìgwè mmadụ na jide e na-eme ihe ọ bụla mebiri.

 

“M nwere ike ịgwa gị otú ahụ n'abalị ahụ biri,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ọwọrọ, 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, na dị ka m jidere m ekpe bicep na m aka ekpe na-aga n'azụ ya isi, na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu kwụsịrị ndị agha… O juru m anya na o tapped n'ihi, n'eziokwu, Ama m na m nwere ọtụtụ nsogbu na ya n'agba… Ọ bụrụ na eziokwu ọ na-à, na eme nzuzu maka ya.”

 

“Na ọnọdụ, M kpọmkwem na-echeta Bickford na-achọ na m, M ihu, ọ na-aga n'ihi na m n'olu na m na-atụ,” kwuru Boyington. “Onye ọ bụla amalite ebigbọ n'ezie oké olu na-m na-echeta Bickford si, 'Ọ dịghị Bruce, i nwere ike na-ekwu na '… Ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na m na-enyefe ma ọ bụ na m na nsogbu ma ọ bụ enweghị ike na-eku ume, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ị nwere ike na-ekwu na,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… M na-ahụ a otutu dị iche iche ihe na Jọn kwuru online, na ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ kwuru, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Tupu Boyington inye ya azụ, many felt he had been winning that first round. N'ezie, 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.

 

“-Apụghị izere ezere, M na-eche John ga na a na-kụrụ aka,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Echeghị m na m agbarapụ n'okpuru ya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“M na-eche na ọ bụrụ na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu akwụsịghị n'oge, mgbe m bụ ya bụ na agha na m aka m na-eru n'azụ ya n'olu,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Ya mere, Echeghị m na ọ ga-na-na na ine a abụọ gbaa gburugburu.”

 

Na ụbọchị, izu na ọnwa na-esonụ agha, 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,” ma na-eme egwuregwu otụk na ihe rematch pụtara ha, na ihe ha mkpa iji gosi na a na-abịa izu ụka.

 

“M nnọọ ike na-aga n'ebe ahụ ma na-eti John,” kwuru Boyington. “Ọbụna ya onwe ya Fans na-atụ anya na… Apụghị m nnọọ na-aga n'ebe ahụ na June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Amaara m nke ahụ, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, n'ihi na ndị ọzọ ogwe-aka-adịghị ọbụna na-arụ ọrụ ugbu 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.

 

“N'ihe banyere Bruce gụchara m ngwa ngwa, na-eme ka ọ dị mfe, na n'ezie echegbu onwe anyị banyere ndị agha ukwuu, M nnọọ na-achọta ya enweghị nkwanye ùgwù dị ka a ọtụtụ ihe ọ na-sị m, ezinụlọ m na ndị enyi m,” replied Raio. “E nwere oge mgbe ikpeazụ agha mgbe ndị mmadụ na-congratulating m (na 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. Ya mere, mgbe m kwuru 'Bruce na m bụ n'ezie enyi ọzọ,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Ma mgbe ndị mmadụ akparị m dị ka o nwere ọ bụ ike ka Ihọd.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

 

Lewiston, Maine (Ka 21, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na asatọ mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XVIII: Mere na America,” na Saturday, June 13, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisee na 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) ihu Johnny Crafts (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 Craftsteam New England United (NEW), so the June 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “NEF XVIII,” 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 13 can’t get here fast enough.

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “NEF XVIII,” 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 nke Afọ” 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.
