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) mixed-Martial 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. Tun da farko a yau, 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” a kanSatumba 10, 2016 a 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 farko-zagaye fasaha 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 na shekarar” a cikin 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. A kan Satumba 10 a 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 Asabar, September 10th!”

Lewiston, Maine (Satumba 3, 2015) - New England Combats (NEF), Amurka ta lambar-daya yankin yaki gabatarwa, Za ka rike ta goma sha tara mixed-Martial Arts- (MMA) taron, “NEF XIX,” a ranar Asabar, Satumba 12, 2015 a Androscoggin Bank Colisée a 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) da kuma Nick Shea (1-0) daga Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Kwanan nan, Na farko Class MMA kafa da kuma kocin John “Na farko Class” Ray koma NEF co-mai shi da matchmaker Matt Peterson a matsayin bako a kan NEF Podcast.

 

Wannan baya Yuni, 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, ciki har da shirya Sparrell, Velado da Shea, sabõda mai zuwa bouts.

 

“I shakka zai iya sa mai yawa karin lokaci zuwa cikin mayakan da iyãlĩna,” Said Ray. “Da mayakan, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, a lokacin da kana horar ga wani yaki, ko da nawa ka yi kokarin mayar da hankali ga Nick Shea ko Nick Gully ko Hannah Sparrell ko Rafael ko wani daga cikin mayakan, za ka iya ba da gaske sa 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, iyalanka, ku da yara.”

 

Tun da haihuwar NEF a farkon 2012, da kuma m fashewa da wasanni ta shahararsa a jihar, da yawa sabon gyms sun Zuriyar a cikin 'yan shekarun nan, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, fiye da wani abu, da m-Knit, iyali-kamar yanayi da ya ɓullo da a kurkuku tun da ya bude dakin motsa jiki.

 

“Babban abu na son game da dakin motsa jiki, Na ji dadin faruwa da kuma kasancewa wani ɓangare na, shi ne akwai wani mai kaskantar da kai rukuni na dalibai da kuma malamai,” 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.”

 

A “Na farko 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 sanã'anta da suna da wani m, classy, sana'a, likeable mutum, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Na yi kokarin yi wa kowa da kowa daidai,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (a dakin motsa jiki), bi da bi, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, idan suka kana ba aiki m ga malamai da sauran dalibai ko, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Mu dakin motsa jiki janyo hankalin, saboda wasu dalilai, mutanen da suka su ne kawai nice mutane.”

 

Tare da kuma da sabon dalibai zuwa ta wurin dakin motsa jiki ta ƙofar, 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.

 

“Bayan na karshe show (NEF XVIII), lokacin da na ga Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) sun hannu tãyar da Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Na kuwa ya faru farin ciki ga wadanda mutane,” 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), Na ce 'idan muka je 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.”
