Ninggalake komentar

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (Wiro sableng) campuran-tukang pencak seni (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. Sadurungé dina, 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 “Wiro sableng 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” ingSeptember 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) liwat putaran kapisan kalah technical. 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 “Anyar ing Taun” ing 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. On 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 Setu, September 10th!”

“Aku mesthi bisa nyelehake akèh sing wektu menyang pejuang sandi uga kulawarga,” Said Ray. “Pejuang, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, nalika sampeyan lagi latihan kanggo perang, ora ketompo carane akeh sing nyoba kanggo fokus ing Nick Shea utawa Nick Gully utawa Hannah Sparrell utawa Rafael utawa kong kita, sampeyan ora bisa nemen sijine 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, kulawarga lan dicekel bocah.”

 

Wiwit lair saka NEF ing awal 2012, lan jeblugan sakteruse popularitas olahraga ing negara, akeh gyms anyar wis kabentuk ing taun anyar, including First Class MMA.

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.”

 

Ing “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 entuk reputasi saka kae, gaya, profesional, individu likeable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Aku nyoba kanggo nambani everybody merata,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ing gedung olahraga), ing siji, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, yen lagi ora tumindak kae kanggo instruktur utawa siswa liyane, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Gym kita nengsemake, sakperangan alesan, wong sing wong mung becik.”

 

Kanthi luwih lan luwih mahasiswa anyar teka liwat lawang gym kang, 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.

 

“Sawise acara pungkasan (NEF XVIII), nalika aku weruh Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) wis lengen wungu lan Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Aku dadi seneng kanggo wong lanang,” 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), Aku ngandika 'yen kita menyang 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.”
