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

Jäta kommentaar

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mixed-võitluskunstile (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. Täna, 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” edasiSeptember 10, 2016 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, Maine.

 

“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) via esimese ringi tehnilise 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” aastal 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Edasi September 10 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 Laupäev, September 10th!”

JOHN Raio jõudsalt pensionile esimese klassi TEAM

Jäta kommentaar

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England võitleb (NEF), Ameerika number üks piirkondliku võitluse edendamine, korraldab selle XIX mixed-võitluskunstile (MMA) sündmus, “NEF XIX,” laupäeval, September 12, 2015 kell Androscoggin Bank Colisée Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) ja Nick Shea (1-0) Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Hiljuti, First Class MMA asutaja ja peatreener John “Esimene klass” Kiir liitus NEF kaasomanik ja kosjasobitaja Matt Peterson kui külastaja NEF Podcast.

 

Möödunud juuni, 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, sealhulgas valmistab Sparrell, Velado ja Shea oma tulemas hood.

 

“Ma kindlasti ei pane palju rohkem aega minu võitlejad samuti minu pere,” Said Ray. “Võitlejad, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, kui oled treeninud võitlus, ükskõik kui palju sa püüad keskenduda Nick Shea või Nick restkaevude või Hannah Sparrell või Rafael või meie võitlejad, te ei saa tõesti panna 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, oma pere ja oma lapsed.”

 

Kuna sündi NEF alguses 2012, ja sellele järgnenud plahvatuse spordi populaarsus riik, palju uusi spordisaalid on tärganud viimastel aastatel, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, rohkem kui midagi muud, tihe-rull, pere-like atmosfäär, mis on välja kujunenud rajatis, kuna ta avas jõusaali.

 

“Suurim asi, mida ma meeldib meie jõusaali, Naudin läheb ja on osa, on seal väga tagasihoidlik grupp üliõpilasi ja õppejõude,” 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 “Esimene klass” 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 teenitud maine lugupidaval, stiilne, professionaalne, sümpaatne üksikute, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Püüan ravida kõiki võrdselt,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (jõusaalis), vastutasuks, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, kui nad ei tegutse lugupidav instruktorid või teiste õpilastega, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Meie jõusaali meelitab, mingil põhjusel, inimesed, kes on lihtsalt toredaid inimesi.”

 

Rohkem ja rohkem uusi õpilasi tulemas läbi oma jõusaali uks, 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.

 

“Pärast viimast näidata (NEF XVIII), kui ma nägin Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) on tema käe tõstis ja Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ma olin nii õnnelik, need kutid,” 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), Ma ütlesin, "kui me läheme 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.”
