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

Zanechať komentár

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) zmiešaných bojových umení (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. Dneska, 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” naSeptembra 10, 2016 v 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 prvom kole technický knokaut. 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” v 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Na Septembra 10 v 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 Sobota, September 10th!”

Lewiston, Maine (Septembra 3, 2015) - New England zápasu (NEF), Číslo jedna regionálna podpora boj Ameriky, sa bude držať jeho devätnástom zmiešané bojových umení (MMA) udalosť, “NEF XIX,” v sobotu, Septembra 12, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée v Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velada (0-0) a Nick Shea (1-0) od Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Nedávno, First Class MMA zakladateľ a hlavný tréner John “First Class” Lúč pripojil NEF spolumajiteľ a Dohadzovač Matt Peterson ako hosť na NEF Podcast.

 

Tento rok v júni, 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, vrátane prípravy Sparrell, Velada a Shea pre svoje nadchádzajúce záchvaty.

 

“Rozhodne môžem dať oveľa viac času do mojich bojovníkov, rovnako ako moja rodina,” Said Ray. “Bojovníci, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, keď ste školenia pre boj, bez ohľadu na to, ako veľmi sa pokúsite zaostriť na Nick Shea alebo Nick Gully alebo Hannah Sparrell alebo Rafael, alebo niektorý z našich bojovníkov, Nemôžete naozaj dať 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, vaša rodina a vaše deti.”

 

Od narodenia NEF začiatkom roka 2012, a následné explózie športu popularity v štáte, mnoho nových telocvične sa objavili v posledných rokoch, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, viac ako čokoľvek iné, tesné, pletené, rodinná atmosféra, ktorá vyvinula v objekte, pretože on otvoril telocvičňu.

 

“Najväčšia vec sa mi páči o našej telocvični, Baví ma ísť a byť súčasťou, je tu veľmi skromný skupina študentov a inštruktorov,” 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 vyslúžil povesť úctivý, nóbl, profesionálne, sympatický individuálny, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Snažím sa liečiť všetci rovnako,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (v posilňovni), na rade, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, v prípade, že nie ste konať úctivo inštruktorov alebo ostatnými študentmi, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Naše posilňovňa priťahuje, z nejakého dôvodu, ľudia, ktorí sú jednoducho milí ľudia.”

 

S viac a viac nových študentov prichádza dverami jeho telocvični v, 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.

 

“Po poslednej výstave (NEF XVIII), keď som videl Nicka (Gulliver, 1-0) sa jeho paže zvýšila a Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Bol som tak šťastný pre tých chlapcov,” 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), Som povedal, "keď pôjdeme 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.”
