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

Mag-iwan ng komento

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) mixed-militar sining- (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. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, 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” saSetyembre 10, 2016 sa 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) sa pamamagitan ng first-ikot teknikal na 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 “Rookie of the Year” sa 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Sa Setyembre 10 sa 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 Sabado, September 10th!”

JOHN RAiO thriving sa RETIREMENT WITH A first class TEAM

Lewiston, Maine (Setyembre 3, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito siyam na mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XIX,” sa Sabado, Setyembre 12, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisée sa 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) at Nick Shea (1-0) mula sa Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Kamakailan lamang, Unang Klase MMA founder at head coach John “Primera klase” Sinag sumali NEF co-may-ari at tagagawa ng mga posporo Matt Peterson bilang ang guest sa NEF Podcast.

 

Ito nakaraang Hunyo, 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, kasama na ang paghahanda Sparrell, Velado at Shea para sa kanilang mga paparating na bouts.

 

“Ako talaga ay maaaring maglagay ng isang pulutong ng mas maraming oras sa aking mandirigma pati na rin ang aking pamilya,” Said Ray. “Ang fighters, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, kapag ikaw ay pagsasanay para sa isang away, kahit na kung magkano subukan mong mag-focus sa Nick Shea o Nick kanal o Hannah Sparrell o Rafael o alinman sa aming mga mandirigma, hindi ka maaaring talagang ilagay 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, iyong pamilya at iyong mga anak.”

 

Dahil ang kapanganakan ng NEF sa unang bahagi ng 2012, at ang kasunod na pagsabog ng katanyagan ng isport sa estado, maraming bagong mga gym ay may sprung up sa mga nakaraang taon, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, higit sa anumang bagay, masikip na niniting, family-tulad ng kapaligiran na ay bumuo ng sa pasilidad dahil binuksan niya ang gym.

 

“Ang pinakamalaking bagay na gusto ko tungkol sa aming gym, Masiyahan ako pagpunta at pagiging isang bahagi ng, ay mayroong isang napaka-abang na grupo ng mga mag-aaral at guro,” 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.”

 

Ang “Primera klase” 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 nakakuha ng reputasyon ng isang magalang, pangunahing uri, propesyonal, kaibig-ibig mga indibidwal, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Subukan ko upang matrato ang lahat ng tao ay pare-pareho,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (sa gym), naman, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, kung hindi sila ay kumikilos magalang sa mga instructor o ang iba pang mga mag-aaral, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Umaakit aming gym, para sa ilang kadahilanan, mga tao na lamang gandang tao.”

 

Sa higit pa at mas bagong mga mag-aaral na nanggagaling sa pamamagitan ng pinto ng kanyang gym ni, 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.

 

“Matapos ang huling show (NEF XVIII), kapag nakita ko Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) may kanyang braso itataas at Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Ako ay kaya masaya para sa mga 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), Sinabi ko 'kung pumunta kami 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.”
