This would be a main card fight on any nationally-televised event,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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) fi “NEF 8.In doing so, 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) fl-ewwel rawnd. He is now looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to AJ McKee, Jr. (8-0) fil 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, Brażil, 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. Aktar reċentement, 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!”

A NEW NEF LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION CROWNED IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Maine (April 30, 2017) – Again, blood flowed from the head of Jon Lemke. Għal darb'oħra, “The” Ryan Sanders had his hand raised in victory.

Din id-darba, madankollu, 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 IS-SIBT lejl fil-Androscoggin Bank Colisee fil 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 Il-ġimgħa.

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

Fil-każ ta 'ko-prinċipali, 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 liri, 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 tat-tieni rawnd. Belcarris was making his pro debut after 34 bouts dilettanti.

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 sekondi.

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 tal-stanza ftuħ.

Many big announcements were made concerning “NEF 29: Stars and Stripes,” which will be held IS-SIBT, Ġunju 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.

Parker has a long history in the NEF MMA cage, wara li ikkompetew seba 'darbiet għall-promozzjoni ġlieda bejn Frar 2012 u Novembru 2013. Aktar reċentement, Parker baqgħet barra mill-gaġġa MMA li tiffoka fuq il-karriera tiegħu bħala boxer professjonali, kif ukoll il-bini ġinnasju tiegħu.

 

Parker fetaħ il-gym fil Benton, Maine as a way of giving back to the fight community. He sees Ruthless MMA & Boxing as a means to introduce young athletes from the area to the burgeoning world of combat sports and provide them with opportunities to compete. That includes his own sons.

 

“Stajt ġiet ħsieb dwar jibdew ġinnasju tiegħi stess għal filwaqt li issa,” Said Parker. “Ġlieda ewwel tiegħi kien kważi għaxar snin ilu meta tifel tiegħi kien tlieta. Now he’s 13 u lesta biex tibda karriera ġlieda tiegħu stess, u I biss kellhom tifel ieħor. I knew it was time to build my boys a place where they can train whenever they want to. This is a fight family.

“Stil tagħna huwa sempliċi, aħna nixtiequ stand u bang,” Parker elaborated. “Meta aħna spar, aħna nixtiequ biex tara li tista 'tolqot l-agħar. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- sakemm huma jiksbu hit.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Il-guys fil bla ħniena ġejjin minn kull aspett tal-ħajja- jekk kienx ġlied triq jew ġlied gaġġa dawn kollha daħal mal esperjenza jitfg fists. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Valuri tagħna huma sempliċi- meta inti tidħol fil titlaq ego tiegħek fil-bieb. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, int mistenni li twettaq lilek innifsek bħala professjonali- sportiv u r-rispett huma għandhom.”

 

Bryant ORICK (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, madankollu, be his first time in the cage. Orick, nattiv ta 'Ohio issa jgħixu fil Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years.

Fil “NEF XVI” dan il-weekend, ORICK se jkunu x-xogħol tiegħu maqtugħa għalih ma undefeated Fred Lear (2-0) ta MMA Young.

 

“Jien joħorġu jagħmlu isem għalija nnifsi fil NEF,” said Orick. “I am ukoll l-eqreb u ser jitqiegħdu fuq juru. I train hard every day, jkollhom coach kbir u teammates. Nothing will surprise me in my upcoming bout.

 

” Being a coach għallmitni li bil-mod l-isfel u jġibu lura għall-affarijiet bażiċi,” Parker iddikjarat. “Il-ġlieda kontra verament hija pjuttost sempliċi, knock-Guy-oħra barra u inti tirbaħ. I demand 100% minn ġellieda tiegħi, u I jagħtuhom 100% back. Fighting is not a hobby, huwa stil ta 'ħajja.”

Sieħbu Wood fiż MMA Young, Fred Lear (2-0), se tidher fuq il-porzjon dilettanti tal-kard bout catchweight kontra Bryant ORRICK (3-5) from Ruthless MMA and Boxing. The fight will be contested at 140-pounds.

 

“Dawn in-nies timbotta me li tkun ġellied aħjar, student, u persuna,” qal Lear ta teammates tiegħu u coaches fil MMA Young fil Bangor, Maine. “Ich danke għall-preżenza tagħhom fil-ħajja tiegħi, huwa xi ħaġa I se teżor dejjem. I am onorat li jiġu jiġġieldu għall MMA Young.”

Ma tfittex lil hinn ġlieda tiegħu stess, Lear jirrimarka tliet matchups eċċitanti teammates tiegħu Josh Harvey (2-1), Mike Pietersen (1-0) u Aaron Lacey (4-1) se jikkontesta kontra l-membri tal-Istitut Choi ta Portland, Maine.

 

“Wassal għal "XVI NEF,’ I iżda ma jistax jgħin jenfasizzaw matchups tagħna mal ta Choi,” Lear kompliet. “Nick Spencer [Opponenti Lacey tal- (7-4)] hija perikoluża kullimkien, Henry Clark [Opponenti Pietersen tal- (1-0)] huwa ġejjin off ta 'debutt impressjonanti, u stajt magħrufa Caleb[Hall – Opponenti Harvey tal- (5-1)] peress iskola għolja u m'hemm l-ebda dubju dwar żrar tiegħu u t-talent. L-atmosfera fil-Colisee se jkun electrifying bħala sitt ġellieda kalibru għoli tfittex li jħallu marka tagħhom.”

 

Hall u Harvey huma stabbiliti biex tiftaħ l-ispettaklu fi bout featherweight fi 7:00 pm sharp. Hall has competed on six previous NEF MMA events, u hu jkun definittivament ndunat eċċitament akbar minn fannijiet li jwassal fil “NEF XVI.”

 

“L-antiċipazzjoni hija fi żmien l-għoli għaliex ta 'l-ups logħba tajba fuq il-karta,” noted Hall. “Fuq Frar 7, Jien jistennew li jkun il-lejl aktar eċċitanti s'issa.”

 

Wara li ġġieldu għal promozzjonijiet iżgħar fil-passat, Harvey is clear that the size of the crowd does not matter to him. He will bring his A-game to the cage whether the fight be under the big lights in a world-famous arena like the Androscoggin Bank Colisee or held in a tiny, kamra ħażin imdawwal bil ftit siġġijiet twaqqaf madwar gaġġa.

 

Personally it doesn’t matter who or how many people are watching,” stated Harvey. “Jien ser jitqiegħdu fuq juru jekk hemmx 20 people or 20,000. I love to entertain. After Caleb hooks on to me he’ll know he’s been in a fight.

 

Jason Lachance (0-1) minn MMA Athletix fl Bath, Maine huwa skedat li jissodisfaw Steven Bang (3-2) ta Central Maine Brażiljan Jiu-Jitsu fil Auburn, Maine fi “NEF XVI.” Lachance credits the level of talent on the NEF roster with bringing in large crowds like the crowd expected on Frar 7.

 

“NEF għandha ħafna ta 'talent fuq dan il-lejl ta' ġlied, kif dejjem jagħmlu,” qal Lachance. “Nistenna xejn inqas minn lejl eċċitanti għall-fannijiet. The support from our fans means everything, u ġellieda sħabi tiegħi u nasal lest li tarmi l isfel u jibgħat dar kulħadd ma saħansitra aktar antiċipazzjoni għall-avveniment li jmiss. God has blessed us with another opportunity to do what we love to do in front of so many.
