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

Tinggalkan komen

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) bercampur seni mempertahankan diri (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. Awal hari ini, 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” padaSeptember 10, 2016 di 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, dan datang 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) melalui pusingan pertama kalah mati teknikal. 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” dalam 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Pada September 10 di 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 Sabtu, September 10th!”

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kesembilan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XIX,” pada hari Sabtu, September 12, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di 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) dan Nick Shea (1-0) dari Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Baru-baru ini, Pengasas pertama MMA Kelas dan ketua jurulatih John “Kelas Pertama” Ray menyertai NEF pemilik bersama dan Pinang muda Matt Peterson sebagai tetamu pada NEF Podcast.

 

Yang lepas Jun, 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, termasuk menyediakan Sparrell, Velado dan Shea untuk serangan yang akan datang mereka.

 

“Saya pasti boleh meletakkan lebih banyak masa kepada pejuang saya dan juga keluarga saya,” Said Ray. “Pejuang, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, apabila anda latihan untuk bergaduh, tidak kira berapa banyak anda cuba untuk memberi tumpuan kepada Nick Shea atau Nick Gully atau Hannah Sparrell atau Rafael atau mana-mana pejuang kami, anda tidak boleh benar-benar meletakkan 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, keluarga dan anak-anak anda.”

 

Sejak kelahiran NEF pada awal 2012, dan letupan berikutnya populariti sukan itu di negeri ini, banyak sekolah baru telah muncul dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, lebih daripada apa-apa lagi, erat ketat, suasana keluarga seperti yang telah dibangunkan di kemudahan itu sejak dia membuka gym.

 

“Perkara terbesar yang saya suka tentang gim kami, Saya suka pergi dan menjadi sebahagian daripada, ada satu kumpulan yang sangat merendah diri pelajar dan pengajar,” 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.”

 

Yang “Kelas Pertama” 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 memperoleh reputasi yang hormat, bergaya, profesional, individu disukai, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Saya cuba untuk merawat semua orang sama-sama,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (Di gim), seterusnya, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, jika mereka tidak bertindak menghormati pengajar atau pelajar lain, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Gim kami menarik, atas sebab tertentu, orang-orang yang orang hanya bagus.”

 

Dengan lebih ramai pelajar baru yang datang melalui pintu gimnasium beliau, 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.

 

“Selepas persembahan yang lalu (NEF XVIII), apabila saya melihat Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) telah lengannya dibangkitkan dan Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Saya begitu gembira untuk orang-orang lelaki,” 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), Saya berkata 'jika kita pergi 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.”
