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

Leave a comment

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) measctha-martial-ealaíon (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. Níos luaithe inniu, 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” arMeán Fómhair 10, 2016 i 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) trí knockout teicniúil chéad bhabhta. 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 na Bliana” sa 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Ar Meán Fómhair 10 i 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 Dé Sathairn, September 10th!”

JOHN RAIO Rathúil I SCOR LE FOIREANN AICME CHÉAD

Lewiston, Maine (Meán Fómhair 3, 2015) - Troideanna Sasana Nua (NEF), Meiriceá uimhir a haon a chur chun cinn gcomhrac réigiúnach, Beidh Tionólfar naoú mheasctha martial-ealaíon (MMA) imeacht, “NEF XIX,” ar an Satharn, Meán Fómhair 12, 2015 ag an Colisée Androscoggin Banc i 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) agus Nick Shea (1-0) as an Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Le déanaí, Rang a hAon MMA bunaitheoir agus cóiste ceann John “Rang a hAon” Ray Chuaigh NEF comh-úinéir agus matchmaker Matt Peterson mar an aoi ar an Podcast NEF.

 

Seo Meitheamh seo caite, 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, lena n-áirítear ullmhú Sparrell, Velado agus Shea as a gcuid babhtaí le teacht.

 

“Is féidir liom a chur cinnte a lán níos mó ama i mo trodaithe chomh maith le mo theaghlach,” Said Ray. “Na trodaithe, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, nuair a bhíonn tú ag traenáil le haghaidh troid, is cuma cé mhéad iarracht tú chun díriú ar Nick Shea nó Nick Gully nó Hannah Sparrell nó Rafael nó aon cheann dár trodaithe, Ní féidir leat a chur i ndáiríre 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, do theaghlach agus do na páistí.”

 

Ó bhreith NEF go luath 2012, agus an pléascadh ina dhiaidh sin tóir ar an spórt ar sa stát, go leor gyms nua sprung suas le blianta beaga anuas, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, níos mó ná aon rud eile, an daingean-knit, atmaisféar teaghlaigh-mhaith a d'fhorbair ag an áis ó d'oscail sé an seomra aclaíochta.

 

“An rud is mó is maith liom mar gheall ar ár seomra aclaíochta, Bainim taitneamh as dul agus a bheith mar chuid de, Is níl grúpa an-humble na mac léinn agus teagascóirí,” 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.”

 

An “Rang a hAon” 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 thuill an dea-cháil ar measúil, classy, gairmiúla, aonair likeable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Déanaim iarracht gach duine a chóireáil go cothrom,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ag an seomra aclaíochta), seal, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, mura bhfuil siad ag gníomhú meas do na teagascóirí nó na mic léinn eile, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Meallann ár seomra aclaíochta, ar chúis éigin, daoine atá daoine ach deas.”

 

Le níos mó agus níos mó mac léinn nua ag teacht tríd an doras a seomra aclaíochta ar, 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.

 

“Tar éis an seó deireanach (NEF XVIII), nuair a chonaic mé Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) Tá a lámh a ardaíodh agus Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Bhí mé chomh sásta do na guys,” 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), Dúirt mé 'má théann muid 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.”
