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

Skildu eftir athugasemd

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) blönduð 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. Fyrr í dag, 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” áSeptember 10, 2016 í 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) gegnum fyrstu umferð tæknilega 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 “Nýliði ársins” í því 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Á September 10 í 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 Laugardagur, September 10th!”

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína nítjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XIX,” á laugardag, September 12, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í 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) og Nick Shea (1-0) frá Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Nýlega, First Class MMA stofnandi og yfirþjálfari John “First Class” Ray gekk NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker Matt Peterson sem gestur á NEF Podcast.

 

Í júní síðastliðnum, 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, þ.mt undirbúa Sparrell, Velado og Shea fyrir komandi viðureign sinni.

 

“Ég örugglega setja mikið meiri tíma í bardagamenn mínum og fjölskyldu minni,” Said Ray. “Bardagamenn, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, þegar þú ert að þjálfa fyrir bardaga, sama hversu mikið þú reynir að einblína á Nick Shea eða Nick Gully eða Hannah Sparrell eða Rafael eða einhverju bardagamenn okkar, þú getur í raun ekki sett 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, fjölskylda þín og börnin þín.”

 

Frá fæðingu NEF í byrjun 2012, og síðari sprenging vinsældir íþróttarinnar í því ríki, Mörg ný gyms hafa sprottið upp á undanförnum árum, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, meira en nokkuð annað, sem þétt-prjóna, fjölskyldu-eins andrúmsloft sem hefur þróað á leikni síðan hann opnaði í ræktina.

 

“The allstór hlutur ÉG eins og óður ræktina okkar, Mér finnst gaman að fara og vera hluti af, er að það er mjög auðmjúkur hópur nemenda og kennara,” 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 unnið orðspor virðingu, flottur, faglega, viðkunnanlegur einstaklingur, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Ég reyni að meðhöndla alla jafnt,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (í ræktinni), aftur á móti, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ef þeir eru ekki að vinna virðingu kennara eða öðrum nemendum, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Ræktina okkar laðar, fyrir sumir ástæða, fólk sem er bara gott fólk.”

 

Með fleiri og fleiri nýir nemendur koma í gegnum dyrnar ræktina hans, 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.

 

“Eftir síðasta sýning (NEF XVIII), þegar ég sá Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) hafa armur hans vakti og Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ég var svo ánægð fyrir þá félaga,” 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), Ég sagði "ef við förum 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.”
