UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

Bruce Boyington protests to referee Jimmy Bickford after his first fight with John Raio is stopped

Lewiston, Maine (Avril 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 that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-8) ap rankontre Jan “Premye Gwoup” Ray (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 nan “Nef XII” nan Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

 

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

 

Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Jen 13 nan Lewiston!”

 

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, an reyalite, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

 

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get reyèl in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “Nef ksvii.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.

 

“I know this is a fight that I want, Bruce wants, and a lot of MMA fans have asked for,” stated Raio when reached for comment. “I look forward to fighting Bruce. Hopefully when the fight is over, there will be no controversy.”

MIDDLEWEIGHT FIGHT SCHEDULED FOR JUNE 13 HAS A HISTORY

Lewiston, Maine (Avril 20, 2015) – When Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) makes his professional debut on Jen 13, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, it will be just days shy of the three-year anniversary of his amateur debut in the very same building. On that warm, late-spring evening in 2012, a crowd of more than 3,000 had assembled to witness the Maine debut of former UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim “Maine-IAC la” Sylvia (31-10) at New England Fights’ (Nef) third mixed-martial-arts (Mma) evènman. Earlier that night, on the amateur portion card, Boutin was in action against BrentFrostyDillingham (1-1). Dillingham won via technical knockout (KI MOUN KI) nan premye tou an. That was not the end of the action, sepandan, as Boutin and Dillingham exchanged in a heated post-fight confrontation, having to be separated by officials.

 

The bad blood has continued over the course of the past three years, with occasional barbs being hurled by both sides on social media. Boutin’s opponent on Jen 13 will be none other than Dillingham’s coach at MMA Athletix, “Chen an Junkyard” Ryan Cowette (2-2). When he met Dillingham, Boutin was an independent fighter with no formal training in the martial arts. In the months that followed, Boutin would join the Choi Institute of Portland, Maine and transform himself into a prolific striker. Boutin is clear that the fighter who will step in the cage on Jen 13 opposite Cowette is not the same undisciplined street fighter who lost to Dillingham three years ago.

 

As an amateur with zero days in a gym, I debuted against MMA Athletix,” recalled Boutin of his amateur debut. “Fast forward three years later, three years straight at the Choi Institute. Here is your throat back, thanks for the loan.

 

Not only is Cowette the head of MMA Athletix, but he is also the founder and pastor of Victory Church in Bath, Maine. Having suffered a major disappointment when his opponent backed out of their scheduled bout during fight week of “Nef ksvii” earlier this month, Cowette is optimistic in regards to the Jen 13 fight with Boutin.

 

This should be a great fight for the fans,” Di Cowette. “We both show up to fight and put on a show. I’m looking to push forward in the 185-pound division. Crowsneck will be a good test. I’m thankful for the opportunities NEF gives me.

RIVAL BANGOR-AREA GYMS VIE FOR FIRST-EVER AMATEUR MMA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (Avril 16, 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 that the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion will be crowned that evening when undefeated Ricky Dexter (3-0), representing Marcus Davis’ Ekip Ilandè, ap pran sou Josh Harvey (3-1) of cross-town rival Young’s MMA. The bout will be contested at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Dexter and Harvey are regarded as two of the top prospects currently on the NEF MMA roster. Both athletes are undefeated in the promotion’s cage. Sou Jen 13, they will carry on a rivalry that has raged in NEF between the Young’s MMA and Team Irish gyms for several years.

 

Both of these young athletes are a testament to their respective gyms, as well as to how far the sport has come in Maine,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “They both came along after NEF was established in the state, and we have seen both of them grow over the past year. We in the NEF front office unanimously believe that Josh and Ricky have a bright future ahead of them in MMA and look forward to this highly competitive bout set to be contested in Lewiston on Jen 13th."

 

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “Nef ksvii.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

 

I’m honored to be fighting for the NEF Lightweight Amateur Title,” stated Dexter. “To me there’s a lot more on the line than just a belt. Sou June 13th you better believe I’m bringing it.

 

When fans last saw Josh Harvey in the NEF cage, he had his arm raised in victory after mauling Caleb Hall (5-2) in the amateur opener of “Nef XVI” sa a fevriye sot pase. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine. Many insiders believe this will be one of Harvey’s final amateur fights before turning professional.

 

“Two top fighters from two top schools, this is a match to be excited about,” stated Harvey when reached for comment. “I have all the respect in the world for Ricky, but there is no where this fight goes that I don’t win.”

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 30, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, anonse jodi a anbochaj la nan ansyen la ap egzekitif Sam Caplan as the company’s new Director of National Business Development. Caplan has signed a contract to work exclusively with the promotion in the New England states through his consulting company Combat Sports Media (CSM). The new position within the organization was created specifically for Caplan.

 

“Ajoute yon twazyèm egzekitif nan sa a melanj te esansyèl,” di nef pwomotè Nick DiSalvo ki moun ki ko-posede pwomosyon nan batay ak promoteur Matt Peterson. “As we’ve grown and the TV deals have been offered and we get more and more calls from big name fighters looking to fight for us, it’s become a lot for the two of us to handle along with the regular day-to-day operation of this business. Sam has been at the national level for a long time. He’s probably one of the top-five most experienced people in this country working at the highest stage of MMA event promotion. He is a major asset to our company. We are extremely fortunate to have him with us.

 

Caplan te Vis Prezidan an nan Talent Relasyon pou la ap soti nan 2009 jouk 2014. Prior to that time, li te travay pou M-1 Global pwomosyon Fedor Amelianenko a, Titan Goumen chanpyona, and also worked in television for CBS and Showtime developing the first broadcasts of EliteXC and Strikeforce. Nan 2013, te rele li youn nan la “Top 20 Pifò moun ki enfliyan nan mma” pa USA Jodi a ak youn nan la “Pouvwa 20 nan mma” pa Goumen Magazine.

Creating a regional fight promotion that can sustain itself is no small fete in today’s MMA landscape. In a short time, Matt ak Nick te fè yon travay etonan grandi nef nan yon pwen kote li toujou mete fanatik 3,000-plis nan chèz sa yo pou evènman li yo. I also believe that NEF hasn’t even yet scratched the surface with regard to its growth and CSM looks forward to playing a role in the promotion’s evolution.

 

This will not be the first time Caplan has worked with NEF. Caplan worked on a co-promotion NEF undertook with Bellator in March 2013.

 

“Travay ak Sam se toujou yon plezi,” stated Peterson. “Mwen te li te ye Sam pou plizyè ane kounye a, since he created 5OuncesofPain.com. There is no one more respected at the national level in MMA.

Lewiston, Maine (Mas 24, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, retounen nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine sou Avril 11, 2015 ak disetyèm melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman. NEF released the full fight card for the event last week. Earlier today, the company announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the fight card. CJ egyèr (3-1) ap fè fas a Connor “Se sèlman Artikule” Barry (4-1) nan yon pwa batay nan 165-liv.

 

Egyèr, yon manm nan mma Young nan nan Bangor, Maine, took the NEF MMA amateur ranks by storm in the summer of 2013. In the matter of just ten weeks, Egyèr chalked moute twa viktwa, dènye a nan yo ki te chèf veteran Crowsneck Boutin (6-7). His streak was brought to a halt by the tough Wayne Ahlquist (1-1) later that fall. Ewer would take more than a year off to serve his country in the United States Air Force security forces. Now back home and training with his teammates at Young’s, Egyèr sanble pou pi devan pou tès tèt li yon lòt fwa ankò nan kalòj la nef mma.

 

“Mwen trè enkyete yo jwenn tounen nan konpetisyon nan nef apre yo te fin ale pou prèske yon lane ak mwatye nan yon,” di egyèr. “And I’m thankful Young’s welcomed me back and took the time to train me. Connor looks like a very tough opponent, epi li pral yon gwo tès pou mwen.”

 

Connor Barry se yon avyon de gè endepandan kounye a ki baze soti nan Lowell, Massachusetts. Barry has become known as a “eFinisyon” nan rejyon an, li te gen bat twa nan opozan l 'yo atravè pentch teknik (KI MOUN KI) and one via submission. His only loss to date came by judge’s decision. Already having put in two fight camps for a planned pro-debut that never happened, Barry se konfyan ki se li ki nan fòm nan pi bon nan karyè l ', li pral gen yon premye nef siksè nan depans egyèr a.

 

“Mwen te pran sa a batay paske mwen te gen pro premye tonbe mwen an nan de fwa,” Di Barry. “Mwen te fòmasyon pou yon batay pro pou senk mwa kounye a, se konsa an tèm de kondisyone, he’s gonna be in for a surprise. In terms of fighting, Mwen panse ke mwen surpase l 'nan tout aspè sèl. From watching his fights, li sanble pè yo Bang, epi si li se pè yo Bang kont mwen, li pral jwenn frape soti rapid.”

Pwochen mma evènman nef an, “Nef ksvii,” la pwograme yo pran plas souAvril 11, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Bruce “Joli ti gason” Boyington (10-7) ap defann nef mma lejè Tit la kont nimewo-yon sèl contender Jamie Harrison (5-1).
