BELLATOR VETERANS SET TO SQUARE OFF IN LEWISTON

 

SA HINANALING PAGPAGAWAS: Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 1, 2017) – Between them they have a dozen fights in the Bellator cage. Karon, they have signed to face each other in the New England Fights (Kaha) hexagon. Ray “Ang tanan nga Business” Kahoy (8-3) makigtagbo Alexandre “Butt” Bezerra (19-5) sa main event sa “Kaha 29: STARS & STRIPES.” Ang maong kalihokan, which will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts and professional boxing bouts, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Hunyo 17, 2017 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine.

 

This would be a main card fight on any nationally-televised event,” miingon ang kauban sa tag-iya sa NEF ug promoter nga si Nick DiSalvo. “It doesn’t get any bigger or better than this on the regional level. This is the kind of fight we love to deliver to the NEF fans.

 

Wood grew up in Bucksport, Maine and became a top MMA prospect after joining Young’s MMA in Bangor. He was victorious in ten of his first eleven fights over the course of his amateur and early professional careers. Wood’s sole loss during that impressive run came when he moved up to the lightweight division to face a larger Shane Manley (3-3).

 

It took Wood just over a minute to submit Lenny Wheeler (9-5) sa “NEF 8.” Sa pagbuhat niini, Wood became the first NEF Featherweight Champion. He went on to successfully defend the title against tough Brazilian prospect Gabriel Baino (6-2) with a second-round TKO. Months later, Wood would drop the title to Anthony Morrison (20-11) via fifth-round submission.

 

The next few years would see Wood travel away from Maine to settle first in South Carolina and later Texas. Since leaving Maine, he has been training at some of the top gyms in all of mixed martial arts with world-class athletes, and he has fought for national promotion Bellator three times. Wood’s Bellator debut saw him finish Chris Jones (10-5) sa unang round. He is now looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to AJ McKee, Jr. (8-0) sa Bellator 166 late last year. The fight with Bezerra will be Wood’s first on Maine soil since February 2015.

 

I’m excited to fight in front of the New England fans once again,” said Wood when reached for comment at his home in Amarillo, Texas. “It’s been way too long. It’s time to get back to where all my success began. The last time I fought in Maine, I left with a loss, and I have no easy task in front of me this time. Alexandre is no joke, and has fought some of the best in the world, and with me coming off back-to-back losses, I have no choice but to have my hand raised by the end of three rounds. I have never lost three straight in anything.

 

A native of Sao Paolo, Brazil, Alexandre Bezerra now lives and trains in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where he is a member of Daddis Fight Camps. Bezerra holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and he is also a teacher of the sport.

 

Bezerra has nine Bellator bouts under his belt. He competed in both the Season Six and Season Eight featherweight tournaments, making it past the quarterfinal rounds but losing in the semifinals each time. Labing bag-o lang, Bezerra competed for national promotion Titan Fighting Championships in late 2016. Like Wood, Bezerra is looking to bounce back from a loss.
I am very excited to compete for NEF, they are a fantastic organization and I am extremely grateful for the opportunity,” said Bezerra. “My opponent is a tough, up-and-coming prospect, and this should be a great fight. Both of us are looking to finish fights, so the fans are in for a treat!”

 

Everyone in Maine and New England fight sports knows the talent that is Ray Wood,” gipahayag NEF co-tag-iya ug matchmaker Mat Peterson. “He cut his teeth in NEF and after going on to compete in several high-profile Bellator fights, he’s coming back home to where it all began for him. Iyang kontra, a native of Brazil, is a seasoned veteran that has a black belt in jiu-jitsu. Fans can expect to see the highest level of mixed martial arts skill on display in this blockbuster main event.

A NEW NEF LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION CROWNED IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 30, 2017) – Again, blood flowed from the head of Jon Lemke. Pag-usab, “The” Ryan Sanders had his hand raised in victory.

Kini nga panahon, Apan, there was zero controversy or conjecture about the finish, and that authoritative ending made Sanders an NEF mixed martial arts champion for the first time.

Sanders used a guillotine choke to stop Lemke just 22 seconds into the second round and win the vacant New England Fights lightweight championship at “NEF 28: Invincible,” held Sabado gabii sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston.

Their previous non-title confrontation in November 2016 ended with Lemke unable to continue due to an accidental cut. Sanders earned the victory by winning the first two rounds on all three judges’ scorecards.

In the title-bout rematch, Sanders likely was behind on those cards after Lemke used a late takedown to punctuate what had been a back-and-forth, stand-up opening session.

“He hit me right in the … gut, and it … hurt,” Sanders said, peppering the statement with the smile and the expletives that are his calling card. “I knew the first round was going to tough, because he’s a killer, and I tend to be a slow starter.”

Sanders (14-8) wasted no time getting Lemke (6-8) to the mat and earning the tap in round two. It was his seventh win in nine NEF appearances.

The Bangor-based battler dedicated the win to his wife, Vanessa, who was in the cage to put the belt around her husband’s waist. The couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary Biyernes.

“She saved my life,” Sanders said. “She’s the reason I’m here, the reason I fight, and the reason I’m a champion.”

Sa co-main event, Josh Harvey (4-0) stayed undefeated with a brutal, 50-second knockout of Derek Shorey.

Shorey (4-9) returned to the NEF cage to raise funds for four of his children and their mother, who lost their home in a recent New Hampshire apartment fire.

“He’s a great guy and a super warrior. I’m glad he stepped up to fight,” Harvey said. “Next I’d like to fight someone else who’s undefeated.”

Matt Denning of Auburn ended his four-fight winless streak with authority. “Ken Doll” made his long-awaited return to the NEF cage with a first-round verdict over Josh Parker.

Denning used his grappling strength to win the grudge match. He rallied from an early takedown, dominated on the ground, and used a guillotine to put it away in the fourth minute.

“It feels good to win. I finally got one,” Denning said. “I’m at 145 libra, which is where I belong.”

Bellator veteran Walter Smith-Cotito improved his NEF record to 3-0, and he has done it against eye-opening opposition. On the heels of past wins over Bruce Boyington and Elias Leland, Smith-Cotito defeated Andre Belcarris via rear naked choke at 2:05 sa ikaduhang round. Belcarris was making his pro debut after 34 amateur bouts.

Dominic Jones made a triumphant pro debut, taking out NEF mainstay Tollison Lewis with only 30 seconds remaining in the first round. Jones won all his amateur fights by decision, but be used his wrestling acumen to dominate his taller opponent on the ground and earn the TKO.

First-round stoppages also were the rule in the amateur portion of the card, with all four fights ending in under two minutes.

The most controversial result involved Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin, an 18-year-old senior out of Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, taking on James Ploss of Kaze Dojo in Lancester, New Hampshire. It was the cage debut for both combatants.

Ploss was the aggressor from the opening bell and immediately took the action to the mat. That also played to the strengths of Austin, who amassed an astonishing 208-11 record while winning two state championships as a schoolboy wrestlers.

At about the 30-second mark, Ploss applied a guillotine and forced a tap from Austin. Unfortunately for Ploss, the referee did not see Austin tap and he allowed the fight to continue after Ploss had released the hold.

Austin took full advantage of the reprieve and showed power in both his stand-up and striking game, eventually earning a TKO in the flyweight fracas at the 1:57 marka.

Josh “Basketball” Jones left no doubt whatsoever in his debut victory over Sean Worcester (0-3).

Jones, 29, who was drafted by the NBA Development League before embarking on a professional career in Germany and Canada, went on the early attack with looping haymakers. He dropped Worcester to the canvas and ended the middleweight scrap with a barrage of haymakers after only 20 seconds.

Jacob Deppmeyer evened his ledger in the amateur hexagon at 1-1 with a 77-second dismissal of Glenn Kasabian at a catch weight of 140. The wins by Dominic and Josh Jones as well as Dettmeyer made First Class MMA a perfect 3-0 on the evening.

Mason Travers joined the parade of fighters making a successful amateur debut with his win over Nigel Moye at 1:10 sa pag-abli estansa.

Many big announcements were made concerning “NEF 29: Stars and Stripes,” which will be held Sabado, Hunyo 17 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. The main event will feature the Maine homecoming of Ray “All Business” Wood. Former NEF bantamweight champion Paul Gorman will also be featured.

“Ako sa kanunay nangandoy nga makahimo sa sukmag sa usa ka tawo diha sa nawong ug dili moadto sa bilanggoan alang niini,” Trial miingon. “Karon nga ako adunay nga oportunidad, kamo nga mas maayo sa usa ka tawo nagtuo nga ang pagkuha masakitan.”

 

“Ang atong estilo mao ang yano nga, kita sama sa pagbarug ug bang,” Parker elaborated. “Kon kita Marquez dakong hagit, kita sama sa pagtan-aw kinsa ang naigo sa pinakalisud. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- hangtud nga sila na-igo.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Ang guys sa way kaluoyng gikan sa tanang kahimtang sa kinabuhi- bisan kon kini mao ang dalan away o halwa panag-away sila nga tanan uban sa kasinatian paglabay kumo. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Ang atong mga hiyas yano nga- sa diha nga ikaw moabut sa imong biyaan ang imong ego sa pultahan. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, ikaw gilauman nga dad-on sa imong kaugalingon ingon sa usa ka propesyonal nga- sportsmanship ug pagtahod mao ang usa ka kinahanglan.”

 

Bryant Orick (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, Apan, be his first time in the cage. Orick, usa ka lumad sa Ohio karon nga nagpuyo sa Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years.

Sa “Lisa XVI” niini nga semana, Orick na sa iyang buhat pagaputlon gikan sa alang kaniya uban sa undefeated Fred Lear (2-0) sa Young MMA.

 

“Ako nganhi sa paghimo sa usa ka ngalan alang sa akong kaugalingon sa Kaha,” said Orick. “Ako-rounded ug sa pagsul-ob sa usa ka show. I train hard every day, adunay usa ka dako nga coach ug mga kauban sa team. Nothing will surprise me in my upcoming bout.

 

” Ingon nga usa ka coach nagtudlo kanako sa mahinay niini ug dad-on kini pagbalik ngadto sa mga sukaranan,” Parker miingon. “Nakig-away sa tinuod mao ang pretty yano nga, pagtuktok sa uban nga mga lalaki, ug nga kamo modaog. I demand 100% gikan sa akong mga manggugubat, ug ako mohatag kanila sa 100% balik. Fighting is not a hobby, kini usa ka pamaagi sa kinabuhi.”
