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

Ħalli kumment

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mħallta marzjali arti- (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. Earlier today, 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” fuqSettembru 10, 2016 fil 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 eliminatorja tekniċi-ewwel rawnd. 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 tas-Sena” fil- 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Fuq Settembru 10 fil 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 IS-SIBT, September 10th!”

Lewiston, Maine (Settembru 3, 2015) - Tissielet New England (NEF), Amerika Numru ta 'wieħed promozzjoni ġlieda reġjonali, se torganizza mħallta marzjali arti-dsatax tagħha (MMA) avveniment, “NEF XIX,” nhar is-Sibt, Settembru 12, 2015 fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisée fil 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) u Nick Shea (1-0) mill-Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Recently, Fundatur Ewwel Klassi MMA u head coach John “Ewwel Klassi” Ray ssieħbu NEF ko-proprjetarju u matchmaker Matt Peterson bħala l-mistieden fuq il-Podcast NEF.

 

Dan passat Ġunju, 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, inkluż il-preparazzjoni Sparrell, Velado u Shea għall bouts li jmiss tagħhom.

 

“I definittivament jistgħu jagħmlu ħafna aktar ħin fil ġellieda tiegħi kif ukoll tal-familja tiegħi,” Said Ray. “Il-ġellieda, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, meta int taħriġ għal ġlieda, irrispettivament minn kemm inti tipprova tiffoka fuq Nick Shea jew Nick Gully jew Hannah Sparrell jew Rafael jew xi ġellieda tagħna, inti ma tistax verament tpoġġi 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, familja tiegħek u gidjien tiegħek.”

 

Peress li l-twelid ta 'NEF kmieni 2012, u l-isplużjoni sussegwenti tal-popolarità tal-isport fl-istat, gyms ġodda ħafna mmullata fl-aħħar snin, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, aktar minn kull ħaġ'oħra, l-maħdumin tight, atmosfera bħal-familja li żviluppat fil-faċilità peress li huwa fetaħ il-gym.

 

“L-akbar ħaġa I simili dwar gym tagħna, I igawdu għaddejjin u li jkunu parti mill, huwa hemm grupp umli ħafna ta 'studenti u għalliema,” 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.”

 

Il “Ewwel Klassi” 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 qalgħu l-reputazzjoni ta 'rispettuż, classy, professjonali, individwali likeable, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Nipprova biex jikkura kulħadd bl-istess mod,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (fil-ġinnasju), imbagħad, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, jekk dawn mhux qed jaġixxu rispettuż għall-għalliema jew l-istudenti l-oħra, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Ġinnasju tagħna jattira, għal xi raġuni, nies li huma nies biss sbieħ.”

 

Bil aktar u aktar studenti ġodda li ġejjin permezz ta 'bieb ġinnasju tiegħu, 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.

 

“Wara l-aħħar ispettaklu (NEF XVIII), meta rajt Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) jkunu driegħ tiegħu mqajma u Rob (Robinson, 1-0), I kien tant kuntenti għal dawk 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), I qal "jekk immorru 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.”
