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

Fi kan ọrọìwòye

It was a bitterly cold night in Lewiston last February when Ryan Glover (3-1) won the New England Fights (NEF) adalu-ologun-ona (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. Sẹyìn loni, 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” loriKẹsán 10, 2016 in 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) nipasẹ akọkọ-yika imọ 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 “Oṣere titun ti Odun” ni 2015 NEF Year-End Awards. Lori Kẹsán 10 in 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 Saturday, September 10th!”

Lewiston, Maine (Kẹsán 3, 2015) - New England njà (NEF), America ká nọmba-ọkan agbegbe ija igbega, yoo mu awọn oniwe-ọgọrun adalu-ologun-ona (MMA) ìṣẹlẹ, “NEF XIX,” lojo satide, Kẹsán 12, 2015 ni Androscoggin Bank Colisée in 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) ati Nick Shea (1-0) lati awọn Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Laipe, First Class MMA oludasile ati ori ẹlẹsin John “Akọkọ Kíláásì” Ray darapo NEF àjọ-eni ati matchmaker Matt Peterson bi awọn alejo lori awọn adarọ ese NEF.

 

Eleyi ti o ti kọja June, 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, pẹlu ngbaradi Sparrell, Velado ati Shea fun wọn ìṣe bouts.

 

“Mo ti pato le fi a Pupo diẹ akoko sinu mi onija bi daradara bi ebi mi,” Said Ray. “Awọn awọn onija, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, nigba ti o ba ikẹkọ fun ija a, ko si bi Elo o ba gbiyanju lati idojukọ lori Nick Shea tabi Nick koto tabi Hannah Sparrell tabi Rafael tabi eyikeyi ti wa onija, o ko ba le fi gan 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, rẹ ebi ati awọn ọmọ wẹwẹ rẹ.”

 

Niwon awọn ibi ti NEF ni ibẹrẹ 2012, ati awọn tetele bugbamu ti awọn idaraya ká gbale ni ipinle, ọpọlọpọ awọn titun gyms ti si hù soke ni to šẹšẹ years, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, diẹ ẹ sii ju ohunkohun miiran, awọn ju-knit, ebi-bi bugbamu ti o ti ni idagbasoke ni awọn apo niwon ó ṣí àwọn idaraya.

 

“The tobi ohun ti mo fẹ nipa wa idaraya, Mo gbadun lọ ati jije a apa ti, jẹ nibẹ ni a onirele ẹgbẹ ti omo ile ati oluko,” 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.”

 

Awọn “Akọkọ Kíláásì” 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 mina ni rere ti a respectful, didara, ọjọgbọn, likeable olukuluku, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Mo gbiyanju lati toju gbogbo ènìyàn se,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (ni-idaraya), leteto, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, ti o ba ti won ba ko anesitetiki respectful si awọn oluko tabi awọn miiran omo ile, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Wa-idaraya attracts, fun diẹ ninu awọn idi, eniyan ti o wa ni o kan dara eniyan.”

 

Pẹlu siwaju ati siwaju sii titun omo ile bọ nipasẹ rẹ idaraya enu, 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.

 

“Lẹhin ti o kẹhin show (NEF XVIII), nigbati mo si ri Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) ti apa rẹ dide ki o si Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Mo ti wà bẹ dun fun awon enia buruku,” 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), Mo wi 'ti o ba ti a lọ 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.”
