GLOVER VACATES; A NEW LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION TO BE CROWNED AT NEF 25

Ostavite komentar

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mješovitih borilačkih-arts- (MMA) amateur light-heavyweight title. The months to come would see Glover accept a new job that would take him up and down the East Coast. With little time to train to defend the title, and in the interest of doing right by the division, Glover recently made the difficult decision to relinquish the championship.

 

NEF executives were quick to act. Ranije danas, the fight promotion announced that Victor Irwin (2-0) would meet Nick Shea (2-0) to fill the vacancy. The two undefeated athletes are scheduled to face-off to determine a new light-heavyweight champion at “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” naSeptembar 10, 2016 u Lewiston.

 

Irwin was a standout wrestler at Brewer High School in Brewer, Maine at 195-pounds where he was a Class-A state champion. His love for the sport is so strong that when Irwin attended Eastern Maine Community College (EMCC) and learned the school did not have a wrestling program, he created one himself. As a college freshman in 2014 Irwin went to Nationals and achieved All-American status. He currently trains out of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Mejn.

 

“I’ve thought a lot about this fight and I’ve come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter what I say,” said Irwin, “it matters what I do, and come September 10thyou’re gonna see some serious doing.”

 

2015 was a great start to the MMA career of Nick Shea. In February of that year, he won his debut fight over the much more experienced Jacob Cameron (1-5) preko prvom krugu tehničkih knockout. Later in the year, Shea would go on to defeat Ruben Redman (0-1) by decision in a hard-fought contest. It would earn Shea a nomination for the “Rookie of the Year” u 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Na Septembar 10 u Lewiston, Shea will attempt to become the first member of the First Class MMA fight team to capture gold in the NEF cage.

 

“It’s an honor to fight someone from Young’s MMA,” said Shea. “I believe this will be my biggest test in the cage to date. I’m grateful and excited to compete for the amateur light heavyweight title. Victor and I will put on an exciting fight on Subota, September 10th!”

 

sljedeći događaj New England Fights ', "NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” takes place on Saturday, Septembar 10, 2016 na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Mejn.

JOHN RAIO uspješan u penziji uz prvoklasnu TIM

Lewiston, Mejn (Septembar 3, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju devetnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XIX,” u subotu, Septembar 12, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Mejn. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) i Nick Shea (1-0) iz Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Nedavno, First Class MMA osnivač i trener Jovan “First Class” Zrak pridružio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson kao gost na NEF Podcast.

 

U junu ove godine, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, uključujući pripremu Sparrell, Velado i Shea za njihov predstojeći Bouts.

 

“Ja definitivno može staviti puno više vremena u moje borce kao i moja porodica,” Said Ray. “Borci, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, kada osposobljavanje za borbu, bez obzira na to koliko ste pokušali da se fokusiraju na Nick Shea ili Nick Gully ili Hannah Sparrell ili Rafael ili bilo koji od naših boraca, ne možete stvarno staviti 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, vaša obitelj i vaši klinci.”

 

Od rođenja NEF u ranoj 2012, i kasnije eksplozije popularnost sporta u državi, mnoge nove teretane su iznikle u posljednjih nekoliko godina, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, više od bilo čega drugog, uske-knit, porodica-poput atmosfera koja se razvila u pogonu jer je otvorio teretanu.

 

“Najveća stvar mi se sviđa kod nas u teretani, Uživam ide i kao dio, je tu je vrlo skroman grupa studenata i instruktora,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.”

 

The “First Class” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio stekao reputaciju poštovanja, elegantan, profesionalac, dopadljiv pojedinačne, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Trudim se da svi tretiraju jednako,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (u teretani), zauzvrat, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ako oni ne djeluje poštovanja prema instruktora ili drugim studentima, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Naša teretana privlači, iz nekog razloga, ljudi koji su samo dobri ljudi.”

 

Sa više i više novih studenata koji dolaze kroz vrata njegove teretani, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.

 

“Nakon što je posljednji nastup (NEF XVIII), kad sam vidio Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) su podignutom rukom i Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Bila sam tako sretna za one momke,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Rekao sam 'ako odemo 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.’ I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.”
