Hylton ee hadda-halyeeyga ah ee ku soo kordhay heerarka miisaanka culus ee NEF waa mid ka mid ah sheekooyinka waaweyn ee 2016. 6’6″ and towering over the top of the MMA cage, Hylton cuts an imposing figure. The only thing more impressive than Hylton’s size and appearance might be his athletic abilities. A prolific striker, Hylton finished all three of his opponents this year by either knockout or technical knockout.

 

“Rasquatch,” or as some fans call him “The Jamaican Shamrock,” really began to raise eyebrows with a highlight-reel head kick knockout of Matt Glover (1-1) last spring. Markaas, bishii la soo dhaafay ee “NEF 26,” Hylton pounded an extremely tough Kevin Smith (3-3) to a bloody pulp. It was immediately after that dominant performance that Hylton’s coaches at First Class MMA and Dragon Fire Martial Arts felt the time was right for him to make the jump to the pro ranks.

 

“Aad ayaan ugu faraxsanahay inaan la dagaallamayo nin darajo weyn leh Mike Hansen qoyskeyga iyo asxaabteyda hortooda,” ayuu yidhi Hylton. “Maaddaama uu yahay dagaalyahankii ugu horreeyay ee xirfad yaqaan ah ee ka soo baxa labada Farshaxanka Dab-damiska iyo Fasalka Koowaad ee MMA, iyo tilmaamaha Shihan Andy Campbell, John “Darajada koowaad” Raio iyo kooxdayda, waxaan isku diyaarinaynaa inaan dagaal galo maxaa yeelay taasi waa waxa Mike had iyo jeer keensado qafiska.”

 

Horyaalka legdanka culus ee hore ee gobolka Maine oo ka baxay Dugsiga Sare ee Mountain Valley, Mike Hansen waligiis kama fogaan inuu la dagaallamo qof isaga ka weyn. Dhab ahaantii, Hansen, kaasoo sidoo kale ku tartama qaybaha fudud-culeyska iyo miisaanka dhexe, waxay ku heshay sumcad ahaan xoogaa a “dilaa weyn.”

 

Horaantii sanadkaan, Hansen wuxuu gudbiyay Jesse Baughman oo aad uga weyn (0-2) wareegii koowaad ee “NEF 22.” Wuxuu raacay waxqabadkaas cajiibka ah isaga oo ku sigtay inuu tuuro Dagaalo aad u ballaadhan oo Brendan ah (1-1) gacanta midig at “NEF 23.” Deyrtan Hansen wuxuu ku dhowaad nus cag u dhiibtey Matt Andrikut (2-1) oo wuxuu gudbiyey kii ka weynaa ee wareegii koowaad. Illeen, Faa'iidada baaxadda leh ee Hylton ayaa kaalin yar ka ciyaari doonta natiijada dagaalkan haddii Hansen wax ka yiraahdo.

 

“Super faraxsan, waayo, dagaalka this waxaan ahay,” ayuu yiri Hansen. “Waxaan jecelahay inaan ka mid noqdo kuwan 'dagaallada waaweyn'.’ Waan ogahay Ras inuu leeyahay xero weyn gadaashiisa wuuna imaan doonaa 100% diyaariyey. Waxaan ka rajeynayaa wax ka yar Raio, laakiin waxaan dareemayaa waayo-aragnimadayda iyo degenaashaha qafiska inay noqon doonaan hantidayda ugu fiican taasna maahan wax uu ku tababaran karo in 10 toddobaadyo. Febraayo 11-keedii dagaal baan galidoonaa, markaa intaas uun ka filo.”

HEAVYWEIGHTS WILL BATTLE FOR SUPREMACY ON NOVEMBER 4 Lewiston

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (September 27, 2016) – OnFriday, November 4, 2016 at the historic Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Dagaaladu New England (NEF) and Classic Entertainment & Sports (Waxaaad) will team up for a joint super-show featuring the stars of New England’s two most prestigious mixed-martial-arts promotions.

 

The televised portion of the fight card, “CES 39,” will air live on AXS TV. Goor hore oo maanta, NEF executives announced the first fight scheduled for the non-televised portion of the card, “NEF 26.” Maine heavyweights Ras Hylton (2-0) iyo Kevin Smith (3-2) will collide in a battle of two of the region’s largest mixed-martial-artists.

 

Standing in at a towering 6’6,” and holding a black belt in Taekwondo, undefeated Ras Hylton, has become a quick fan-favorite during his short time in NEF. “Ras-squath,” as he has become known amongst his many fans, made his NEF cage debut in February of this year, downing Zak Bergeron (0-1) just over a minute into the first round of their “NEF 21” dhamaadka. Hylton would follow up that performance with a highlight-reel head-kick knockout of Matt Glover (1-1) which will undoubtedly be in the running for “Ko ee sannadka” honors. He is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine.

 

“I am looking forward to fighting Kevin Smith November 4th,” said Hylton when reached for comment. “Young’s puts out great fighters and I’m sure he will live up to their reputation. The more wins you get, the tougher your opponents are. He will be my strongest challenge in the cage so far.”

 

It has been over two years since Kevin Smith stepped into an MMA cage to compete. Prior to that time, Smith had been undefeated on NEF events. All three of his victories with the promotion were finishes – two by way of submission and one knockout. Like Hylton, Smith has never had to rely on the judges’ scorecards. He is a member of Young’s MMA of Bangor, Maine. During his time off from active cage competition, Smith took stock of his life goals and decided to make a career of mixed-martial-arts.

 

“I knew deep down that fighting is what I was made to do, and I won’t be happy doing a regular job,” shared Smith, “so I put everything aside to focus on this full time and my ultimate goal is to make it to the big show and fight in Bellator or the UFC.”

 

Qiimaha tikidhada “CES vs. NEF: Supremacy” bilaaban doono $25 and are available now atwww.TheColisee.com ama adiga oo waca xafiiska sanduuqa Colisee at 207.783.2009, kordhinta 525.
