PAT KELLY TO COMPETE IN FINAL MMA FIGHT ON SEPTEMBER 8 ÎN BANGOR

Lasă un comentariu

Maine (August 7, 2018) - Lupte New England (NEF) își va desfășura următorul eveniment de arte marțiale mixte, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” pe Septembrie 8 la Cross Insurance Center din Bangor. Mai devreme astăzi, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight title fight to the card. Pat Kelly (4-0) is scheduled to defend his strap against the challenge of fellow undefeated MMA competitor Tim Manning (2-0).

The fight will be the final contest for the 53-year-old Kelly who began competing in MMA four years ago in his late 40s. He brought to the cage unmatched wrestling credentials earned through a lifetime on the mats. Kelly is nothing short of a legend in Maine wrestling circles. He won a state championship as a senior competing for the former Camden-Rockport High School. Kelly went on to wrestle for the University of Maine where he claimed a New England title and competed in the national NCAA championships. Mai târziu, as a coach Kelly would lead Camden-Rockport and Camden Hills Regional High School to multiple state championships. Among the students he coached is current UFC star Tim Boetsch (21-11). Kelly was inducted into the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007.

“I started this journey five years ago in Bangor with Young’s MMA,” said Kelly. “It is only fitting I have my farewell fight in the same great city. I am very grateful to NEF for the opportunity to fight in their cage and ultimately win an ammy title. Pentru mine, age is simply a number. I have searched for tough and competitive challenges my entire career, and this fight is certainly another big challenge.”

For all his accomplishments in wrestling, Kelly’s time in the MMA cage has been impressive as well. He was able to finish his first three bouts on his way to earning a crack at the NEF Amateur Lightweight Championship. Last summer at “NEF 29,” Kelly handed then-undefeated Rafael Velado (4-1), an athlete fourteen years Kelly’s junior, the first loss of his career to claim the belt. Over a year later, Kelly promises to bring his trademark intensity to both his training camp at Young’s MMA and his final fight on Septembrie 8.

“I train hard, perioadă,” exclaimed Kelly. “And I am sure my opponent does the same thing, and that’s what it is all about – the willingness to prepare to win. În plus,, it is important for me to let coach Chris Young and Ernie Fitch know that I truly have appreciated them letting me become a part of the Young’s MMA family. To my teammates at Young’s and to all my fans – thanks for the ride… I have enjoyed you all.”

Kelly’s challenger on Septembrie 8, Tim Manning, is also undefeated. Fighting out of F2 Arena in Gainesville, Florida, Manning is nicknamed “Murder” for good reason. It took Manning a mere 37-seconds to submit his opponent with an armbar in his amateur debut last fall. He followed up that performance with another impressive first round submission earlier this year in his sophomore cage appearance.

următor eveniment mixt de arte marțiale ale FEN, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Sâmbătă, Septembrie 8, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Biletele sunt în vânzare acum la www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

KELLY CAPTURES LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE AND JONES BREAKS KNOCKOUT RECORD IN LEWISTON

Lasă un comentariu

PENTRU DIFUZARE: Lewiston, Maine (Iunie 18, 2017) – Ray “All Business” Wood returned to Maine with multiple Bellator Fighting Championships bouts under his belt, seeking a triumphant homecoming at “New England Fights 29: Stars & Stripes.”

The fighting pride of Bucksport simply ran into someone with more upper-level experience in the mixed martial arts cage. Alexandre “Popo” Bezerra put on a ground-and-pound clinic and scored a unanimous decision in the main event Sâmbătă night at Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

Bezerra (20-5) looked every bit the part of a nine-time Bellator veteran, defying every attempt by Wood to gain a semblance of control during the 15-minute skirmish. Wood’s last-ditch attempts to lock in a choke and gain shoulder leverage went by the boards early in the third round, and Bezerra maintained top and side control until the final bell.

Two scorecards had Bezerra pitching a shutout at 30-27, while the third went his way at 29-28. Lemn, a former NEF featherweight champion now living in Amarillo, Texas, and training out of Nick’s Fight Club, dipped to 8-4 as a professional with his third consecutive defeat.

History was made on two fronts in the amateur MMA portion of Sâmbătă 12-carte de lupta.

Pat Kelly (4-0), 52, of Rockport, became the oldest titleholder in NEF history, defeating Rafael Velado (4-1) by unanimous decision in a battle of unbeaten warriors to take Velado’s amateur lightweight belt.

Mai devreme seara, Josh Jones (2-0) delivered a vicious right hand to knock out Anthony Spires (0-3) in four seconds, shattering the organization’s previous mark for quickest stoppage.

Three encounters in the ring brought professional boxing back to the NEF stage for the first time since November 2016. Wins by undefeated Jason Quirk (6-0) and Casey Kramlich (8-0-1) and a no-contest in the bout between Russell “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour (15-2) and Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (1-0) gave Portland Boxing Club the upper hand.

Ras Hylton (2-0), Matt Denning (5-6) și Josh Parker (6-9) also prevailed in pro MMA. Kam Arnold (1-0), Jon Tefft (2-0) and Alex Walker (3-1) celebrated victory in the amateur hexagon.

Most observers expected the Kelly-Velado showdown to end up on the mat, given Kelly’s long career as a champion wrestler and coach and Velado’s black belt prowess in jiu-jitsu.

Kelly’s wisdom in staying on his feet allowed him to stay in control throughout. He landed resounding punches to punctuate each of the first two rounds. After his lone takedown in the third round, recognizing that he probably controlled the fight in the judges’ ochi, Kelly allowed Velado to get off the canvas.

It was the last in a series of the all the right moves for the man with the physique of a competitor in his 20s. Kelly prevailed by scores of 30-27, 30-27 și 29-28. In a tremendous act of sportsmanship, a smiling Velado wrapped the title belt around Kelly’s waist.

Jones rocked Spires’ world with a vicious hook, raising the former pro basketball player’s record to 2-0 with two early stoppages in his career with First Class MMA.

Hylton and Tefft gave First Class two more first-round victories.

“Rasquatch,” outweighed by almost 30 de lire sterline, finished Oklahoma’s Eric Ramsey with a series of 10 unanswered bombs to stay unbeaten as a pro.

Tefft lost a pair of trunks in the process but gained his second amateur win against no defeats, earning what was officially a first-round TKO over Mike Williams of Lewiston’s Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu. Each man had a chance to end the fight early, but it was Tefft finishing the round with a reversal and a series of strikes. Williams (injured left shoulder) then failed to answer the bell for the second stanza.

Denning shut down Dominic Jones (1-1) with a standing rear naked choke at 2:05 of the first round for his second consecutive victory.

Parker absorbed a vicious kick to the back of his left leg from Andre Belcarris (0-2) în runda a doua, but he dominated the first and third sessions to eke out a unanimous verdict.

Arnold was triumphant in his MMA debut, dropping Glenn Kasabian (1-3) to his knees and finishing with a resounding right-left combination for a TKO at 1:54 din primul tur de scrutin.

Walker (4-1) won her fourth consecutive bout in an eagerly anticipated women’s strawweight scrap with Sarah Ziehm (1-1). The New Hampshire native locked in an armbar late in the first round, resulting in a technical submission at the referee’s discretion with three seconds remaining.

The Lamour-Boyington bout was ballyhooed as Maine’s version of Floyd Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor, and Boyington’s unorthodox style gave the veteran Lamour some difficulty. The second round was stopped twice briefly, and finally halted for good after an accidental head butt sent a bloodied Boyington face-first to the deck. Since it was too early to take the bout to the scorecards at that stage, the fight was ruled a no-contest.

Kramlich defeated Bellator MMA veteran Bryan Goldsby by third-round knockout. A right cross sent Goldsby to one knee, where he remained for the count of 10.

Quirk dispatched veteran Borngod Washington by second-round TKO.

"NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” will be held at Cross Insurance Center in Maine’s Queen City sâmbăta. August 5. Tickets are available beginning Luni la ticketmaster.com.

AGE IS NOTHING BUT A NUMBER IN LEWISTON TITLE FIGHT

Lasă un comentariu

 

 

PENTRU DIFUZARE: Lewiston, Maine (Iunie 12, 2017) – There are wink-and-nudge undertones when 38-year-old Rafael Velado declares “I’m the young guy, for once” as he contemplates his New England Fights amateur lightweight title defense on Sâmbătă, Iunie 17. Apoi din nou, el este, by nearly a decade-and-a-half.

 

It’s a disservice to label hall of fame competitor and coach Pat Kelly a sentimental favorite in his quest to win the 155-pound strap. Yet the 52-year-old assuredly is, as evidenced by at least one internet poll that shows him as the clear people’s choice to win the fight.

 

Velado vs. Kelly is a bundle of contradictions, an intriguing mix of styles, perhaps even a pairing that defies logic. It’s certainly a spotlight neither man would have predicted for himself five years ago. It’s also a clash of undefeated warriors that promises to rock the house at Androscoggin Bank Colisee.

 

“You can buy a ticket for this fight, but I truly believe you’re only going to need the edge of your seat,” Kelly, an amateur wrestling legend from the Camden-Rockport region. “I think we’re going to light the place up.”

 

“Everybody seems excited, and wouldn’t that be a cool story? If I end up saying later on, ‘I fought a guy when he was 52, and he beat my butt,’ the moral of the story is don’t ever count anybody out,” Velado said.

 

Just to clarify, Velado (4-0) doesn’t expect that to happen. A black belt in jiu-jitsu fighting out of First Class MMA of Brunswick, he looks to extend his winning streak over fighters from Young’s MMA of Bangor.

 

Velado claimed the vacant crown with a first-round demolition of Jimmy Jackson last September. Înainte de aceasta, Mike Peitersen took Velado the distance in his toughest test to date.

 

“It makes sense from a record standpoint, but I’ve fought four times since the last time Pat did, and two of those were against his training partners,” Velado said. “If you look at strength of opposition, I don’t know that it’s that close. I’m not saying that means it won’t be a good match. I just don’t think it’s very comparable. But we all know the MMA magic can happen.”

 

Due to lengthy rehabilitation from a knee injury, Tijă de antrenare (3-0) hasn’t fought since June 15, 2015 at “NEF 18: Made in America de,” when he won by technical knockout over Steve Bang Sr. He beat Bang’s son and namesake in the same manner and also defeated Frank Dellasala in his debut, which came at welterweight.

 

The champion wrestler (Universitatea din Maine) and coach (Camden Hills High School, where he mentored now-UFC star Tim Boetsch) weighed in at over 200 pounds before he began the three-hour round trip to and from Bangor, four times each week.

 

“I’m an amateur’s amateur,” Kelly said. “I got into this four years ago to stay in shape, make contacts, make new friends and enjoy the experience. When they asked me if I’d like to try getting in the cage, era, ‘Yeah, I’ll give that a shot.’

 

Kelly said he was welcomed with open arms, then “beaten to a pulp,” by the likes of Bruce Boyington, Ryan Sanders and Aaron Lacey – all accomplished pro fighters from the Bangor gym.

 

It wasn’t long, predictably, before he fell in love with the concepts of competition and self-discipline all over again.

 

“There’s a bold truth to this sport,” Kelly said. “It’s one-on-one, locked in a cage with the other guy, and what are you going to do to survive? I love that feeling.”

 

Conventional wisdom dictates that the fight will go to the ground quickly. Then it’s a case of which fighter can assert his will and expertise.

 

Velado doesn’t lack for training partners who test his mettle every day. Six of them are scheduled to appear in the same cage at NEF 29. First Class owner John Raio also mirrors Kelly in terms of size and decorated wrestling background.

 

“Pat and I have been in (sporturi de luptă) a long time. We’ve both won against some excellent people and some not-so-excellent people,” Velado said. “The road to winning against me, a guy has to be better in two disciplines and also have a better game plan.”

 

Interesting choice of words, when you consider Kelly’s admission that he is more inclined to fly by the seat of his pants.

 

“My coaches talk about a game plan, but I don’t know if I’m a game plan kind of guy. I go right back to how I know to survive. That’s the warrior in me,” Kelly said. “What you have are two guys who are not going to give up. I think that’s part of the interest. That’s what makes it a good fight.

 

“Raf is experienced,” he continued. “He’s undefeated. He’s the champion. I’m the old guy coming in and trying to knock him off. There are a number of parallels that make this a fascinating fight.”

 

The combatants’ thoughtful words in separate interviews even followed the same wavelength.

 

Velado graciously said he understands the fans’ desire to see Kelly keep turning back time, extend his own record as the oldest winner in NEF history and add the distinction of oldest champion to that list.

 

“I actually am a fan of Pat,” Velado said. “The MMA fan in me is rooting for him. I’d like to see him have whatever level of success is just short of winning. Mentally it wouldn’t wreck me if I lost the fight.”

 

Likewise, Kelly is prepared for the possibility that the outcome won’t go his way.

“I don’t ever train to lose, but often times winning comes in unique ways,", A spus el.

If his four children perceive the merits of his commitment to MMA as more than a midlife crisis, Kelly believes he has already won the greatest battle of all.

 

“Yes, of course you want to win, but I also want them to see that when you have a personal goal, you can’t just say you want it. You have to go get it,", A spus el. “When I spend all that time driving back and forth, whether I’m talking to myself to thinking or listening to music, most of the time when I’m chasing this thing, I’m on my own. And I know my kids and students can see that.”

 

The Iunie 17 card tentatively features four professional MMA fights, four pro boxing matches, and seven amateur skirmishes in the cage. Tickets to “NEF 29: Stars & Stripes” start at $25 si sunt disponibile prin apel la (207) 783-2009 ext. 525 sau la thecolisee.com.

AMATEUR TITLE FIGHT PROMISES TO BE AN ALL-OUT WAR

Lasă un comentariu

PENTRU DIFUZARE: Lewiston, Maine (Mai 3, 2017) Lupte -New Anglia (NEF) revine la Colisée Androscoggin Bank pe Sâmbătă, Iunie 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) și lupte profesionale de box. The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a lightweight title fight that will see Rafael “Deez Nuts” Velado (4-0) defend against Pat Kelly (3-0).

 

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Velado made his NEF debut in the fall of 2015. He submitted Kelly’s Young’s MMA teammate Jimmy Jackson (3-3) la “NEF 25” to claim the amateur lightweight title. Până în prezent, only Mike Peitersen (3-1), another member of Young’s, has gone the distance with Velado who has established himself as a master of arm bars and Kimuras. Velado is a member of First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

 

“Here we go again,” exclaimed Velado. “We’ve got a friendly rivalry going between First Class MMA and Young’s MMA. They throw a badass at me and I answer the call. PK (Pat Kelly) is a legend of sorts. If you wrestle in Maine and you don’t know who he is, you’re out of touch. I think PK a different kind of challenge for me than my previous four fights. I’ve shown that I can get the fight to the ground and that I’m dangerous when I get there, but that’s a wildcard with Pat. This fight is very exciting to me because we are both undefeated and the winner is going to have to prove that they are ready for the next level by bringing a well-rounded game. I have no doubt as to whether PK is capable of taking me down. Întrebarea este; will he regret his decision to take me there? We will see on June 17th.”

 

Pat Kelly is, as Velado noted, a legend in the Maine wrestling world. He put together an impressive 116-20 career record at the University of Maine, captured a New England title and wrestled in the NCAA Championships in 1986. The 52-year-old is no stranger to the championship circle as a coach either, having led the Camden Hills team to several state titles over the years, earning himself an induction into the Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in the process. Kelly famously coached current UFC star Tim Boetsch (20-11) to four state wrestling titles during Boetsch’s time at Camden Hills.

 

As a member of Young’s MMA, Kelly made his MMA debut at “NEF 14.” Known for his intense in-cage performances, Kelly has finished all three of his opponents. A knee injury has forced him to the sidelines since his last victory in the summer of 2015.

 

“În primul rând, my sincere thanks to NEF for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and to Coach Chris Young and Ernie Fitch along with all my teammates at Young’s MMA,” said Kelly. “I am so pumped-up to get back into the NEF cage. I am now fully recovered from a serious knee injury and am felling better than ever. This fight makes perfect sense in that you have two undefeated fighters that are willing to wage war for the belt.

 

“I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Raf’s caliber,” Kelly continued. “I respect the fact he is currently the undefeated champ. To fight him means that my time has come to offer him a challenge worthy of title contention. I have been training for an opportunity like this for the past four years. I will bring to the cage a sense of unpredictability and true grit. In essence, Raf will do what he has to do and I will do what I have to do. Orice s-ar întâmpla, happens.”

 

New England Combate revine la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine with its next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES,” sâmbăta, Iunie 17, 2017. Biletele sunt în vânzare acum la box-office Colisee 207-783-2009 x 525 și online lawww.TheColisee.com.

TATĂL CĂUTĂ SĂ RĂZBĂNEȘTE FIUL ÎN CUSCĂ MMA

Lasă un comentariu

 

Lewiston, Maine (Aprilie 23, 2015) - Sună ca linia argumentală a unui film de acțiune de două stele din anii 1980. Această poveste, totuși, nu se joacă pe cablul de bază într-o după-amiază în timpul săptămânii. Nu există explozii, fără urmăriri auto, fără arme semiautomate. Brian Dennehey nu joacă nici rolul ticălosului, nici al patriarhului eroic. În schimb, această poveste se joacă în New England Fights (NEF) mixt-martiale-arte (MMA) cuşcă, și nu îi are în vedere pe unul, ci pe doi bărbați de vârstă mijlocie care posedă impulsul, abilitate și atletism la care majoritatea bărbaților cu jumătate de vârstă nu pot decât să viseze.

50-de ani Pat Kelly (2-0) este o adevărată legendă a luptei din Maine. Profesor și antrenor la liceul regional Camden Hills din Rockport, Maine, Kelly a fost inclusă în Hall of Fame din Alianța de lupte amatori din Maine 2007. Cu numeroase titluri de lupte de stat și regionale în calitate de concurent și antrenor, și-a făcut debutul în MMA ca membru al Young’s MMA din 2014.

Dr. Steve Bang ajunge pentru lupta sa la NEF XVI

Adversarul lui Kelly pornit Iunie 13 în Lewiston, Maine, 45-de ani Dr. Steve Bang (1-0), are el însuși un background de lupte, la fel ca și fiii săi Steven Bang, Jr. (3-3), Sheldon Bang (2-2), Shawn Bang (1-1) și Skylar Bang. La “NEF XV” în noiembrie anul trecut, Dr. Bang a urmărit din partea cuștii cum Pat Kelly și-a terminat fiul Steven prin eliminarea tehnică (OMS). Va fi acea pierdere Dr.. Bang va încerca să se răzbune când îl va întâlni pe Kelly Iunie 13 la Androscoggin Bank Colisee la “NEF XVIII: Fabricat in America.”

 

“Fiul meu Steven și Pat s-au întâlnit anterior în cușcă și Pat a obținut acea victorie,” a spus dr. Bang. “Mă văd ca fiind deja în jos 0-1. NEF 18 este despre răscumpărare și arătarea băieților cum se face. Așa cum spun mereu, la sfarsit, ne vom îmbrățișa cu o legătură de frăție și respect, care este unică pentru luptă, dar până atunci, este război.

 

“Sunt încântat și onorat să intru din nou în cușcă Iunie 13lea. Acesta va fi unul pentru cărțile de înregistrări. Împreună, Pat și cu mine aducem 95 ani de experiență de viață în cușcă. Aducem luptele la un nivel diferit din cauza a tot ceea ce avem în joc. Acest lucru este adevărat și, cu siguranță, nu viteza ta de vârstă mijlocie traversează câmpiile cu Curly și nici săptămâna ta pe Harley cu The Wild Hogs. Sper cu adevărat că toate vor fi distrate, dar când voi intra în cușcă, Nu intru decât cu intenții proaste. Ca rezultat al antrenamentului cu Jiu Jitsu brazilian din Central Maine (CMBJJ), fiecare mișcare, fiecare combinație, fiecare grevă este tratată cu intenția de a termina și poate fi în prima rundă. Totuși, dacă aceasta merge la ultimele runde, veți vedea geniul Clinicii de condiționare Central Maine și a atletismului variabil primar. M-au echipat cu sistemul cardiovascular non-stop folosit de triatletele Ironman de clasă mondială.”

 

“Această luptă este între doi domni care încă îmbrățișează mentalitatea de războinic,” a spus antrenorul Kelly când a ajuns la comentarii. “Personal, Mă voi antrena pentru această luptă cu o forță motrice care nu poate fi exprimată în cuvinte. De asemenea, cu un sentiment de recunoștință pentru faptul că Young’s MMA a luat timp să mă antreneze și aprecierea NEF pentru că mi-a oferit această oportunitate de a intra în cușca lor.”

 

Un chirurg bariatric de zi cu zi, Dr. Bang a avut ocazia să lupte alături de fiii săi Steven și Sheldon pe “NEF XVI” card în februarie trecut. Când pășește în cușcă la “NEF XVIII” împotriva lui Kelly, totuși, va fi Dr.. Bang, și Dr.. Bang singur, reprezentând familia.

 

“Încerc să identific și să apreciez cu adevărat acele oportunități unice care apar în viață,” a declarat dr. Bang. “‘NEF XVI’ a fost una dintre acele rare ocazii când toate piesele au căzut la locul lor. Lupta pe aceeași carte cu doi dintre băieții mei a fost epică. Steven se reabilitează acum de la un accident de antrenament devastator și Sheldon va părăsi statul în mai pentru o misiune de slujire de doi ani pentru biserică. Shawn mai are un an în misiune și Connor (Murphy) este în Garda de Coastă din California. O oportunitate similară poate fi o perioadă lungă de timp, deci pentru ‘NEF XVIII,’ totul este despre mine. Eu singur voi reprezenta Clanul Bang.

 

“Vorbirea de gunoi nu mi se potrivește bine. Am încercat chiar o dată doar pentru efect. nu, încă nu mi se potrivește. Îmi place Pat. Îl respect cu siguranță și sunt sigur că vom fi prieteni grozavi, dar chiar acum, tocmai a primit ceva care nu-i aparține. De fapt, îi sunt foarte recunoscător lui Pat. Ca răspuns la cei care au încercat să împace dihotomia vieții mele, Susțin că aceasta a fost întotdeauna o parte a vieții mele la un anumit nivel. Saltul în locul MMA, totuși, a fost imens și miza este mare. A trecut ceva timp până când a fost momentul potrivit și chiar și atunci, Nu l-am recunoscut până nu i-am văzut pe Steven și Pat luptându-se. Nu este nimic ca a-l privi pe fiul tău luptând în timp ce ești la doar câțiva metri distanță și neajutorat. Pe cât de stresant este să te pregătești și să-ți executi propria luptă, este de zece ori mai rău pentru mine să-i privesc. Aș prefera mult să lupt cu luptele decât să-mi văd fiii luptându-se cu ei. În timpul acelei lupte am știut că este timpul și ce modalitate mai bună decât un meci de răscumpărare? A durat ceva timp ca să se întâmple, dar voi obține ceea ce am cerut. Mulțumesc pentru Pat.

 

“A câștiga înseamnă a-i învinge pe ceilalți, victoria este să te depășești,” a spus dr. Bang în concluzie. “Pe 13 iunie Voi căuta să le fac pe amândouă.”
