BELLATOR VETERANS SET TO SQUARE OFF IN LEWISTON

Legg igjen en kommentar

 

FOR UMIDDELBAR RELEASE: Lewiston, Maine (Mai 1, 2017) – Between them they have a dozen fights in the Bellator cage. Nå, they have signed to face each other in the New England Fights (NEF) hexagon. Ray “Alle Business” Wood (8-3) vil møte Alex “Butt” Bezerra (19-5) i hovedturneringen av “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” Arrangementet, which will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts and professional boxing bouts, is scheduled to take place on Saturday, Juni 17, 2017 på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine.

 

“This would be a main card fight on any nationally-televised event,” sa NEF medeier og 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) ved “NEF 8.” Ved å gjøre det, 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) i første runde. He is now looking to rebound from a unanimous decision loss to AJ McKee, Jr. (8-0) på 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, Brasil, 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. Sist, 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,” uttalte NEF medeier og matchmaker Matt 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. Hans motstander, 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.”

 

New England Fights returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine with its next event, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES,” på lørdag, Juni 17, 2017. Tickets are on sale now at the Colisee box office 207-783-2009 x 525 og online på www.TheColisee.com.

A NEW NEF LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION CROWNED IN LEWISTON

Legg igjen en kommentar

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

Denne gangen, men, 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 Lørdag natt på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i 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 Fredag.

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

I 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 pounds, 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 av andre runden. Belcarris was making his pro debut after 34 amatør 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 mark.

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 sekunder.

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 av åpningen strofe.

Many big announcements were made concerning “NEF 29: Stars and Stripes,” which will be held Lørdag, Juni 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.

Professional boxing will return to share the spotlight, led by local favorites Brandon Montella of North Anson and Russell Lamour of Portland, and with a special guest: Former heavyweight champion James “Buster’ Douglas will be in attendance to greet fans and sign autographs.

San Jose, Calif. (Mai 14, 2016) — In the main event of Bellator MMA’s return home to San Jose, Phil Davis og Konge Mo showcased why their widely regarded as two of the top light heavyweights on the planet. I slutten, it was Davis who emerged victorious, taking home a unanimous decision with scores of 29-28, 30-27, 30-27.

The first ten minutes of action were razor thin, with both men using their strengths to gain the upper hand. For Lawal, the American Top Team standout relied heavily upon his power punching, throwing overhand rights with frequency. Davis used his lower limbs, keeping Mo at distance with leg kicks and short jabs. The tides really began to shift in the final frame though, as Davis clipped his opponent with a shot that he parlayed into a single-leg takedown, nearly finishing the bout with a kimura.

After his hand was raised, Davis was joined inside the cage by current Bellator 205-pound kingpin Liam McGeary who will likely face Davis in “Mr. Wonderful’s” next action. The two traded words and passed the eye test when it comes to a future Bellator MMA main event matchup.

Welterweight Bloodbath Ends in TKO Victory for Saad Awad

In the co-main event of “Bellator 154: Davis vs. Konge Mo,” Du Awad (19-7) provided one of the most entertaining performances of the night with a first round TKO win over “Cyborg” Santos (21-17). The knockout came just 4:31 into the bout, when Awad unleashed a flurry of hammer fists that left forced referee Jason Herzog to call a stop to the action. “Assassin” fought off a brutal toe hold earlier in the round and countered with relentless blows to the sides of Santos’ head, eventually opening a large cut that spilled blood onto the canvas. With victories in four of his last five bouts and now a victory at 170-pounds to boot, the options for Awad’s future with the promotion remain endless.

San Diego-Labiano Give it All in Swing Bout on SPIKE

With two quick stoppages to start the card, Bellator aired a swing bout between Josh San Diego (7-1) og Jeremiah Monaghan (9-5). A native of San Jose, “JSD” took full advantage of his opportunity on the big stage, and capped off the fight with a rapid flurry of attacks to end the final frame, earning himself a unanimous decision (29-28) victory over Labiano in front of a loud, hometown crowd. The win is “JSD’s” second with the promotion, both of which ended via unanimous decision.

Piccolotti Continues to Submit Opponents, Finishes Wood on Short Notice

In a highly emotional bout, Adam Piccolot (8-0) thoroughly dominated Ray Wood (7-2) over the course of their lightweight bout, sealing the deal after 3:17 with a standing rear-naked choke submission. The win was Adam “Bomb’s” second first-round finish and the quickest of his budding career. Med seieren, the Half Moon Bay, Calif. native remains undefeated and has solidified himself as one of the company’s brightest young prospects. Piccolotti was originally slated to fight Jordan Parsons before his death, hvilken Bellator instated a memorial scholarship fund in his honor earlier on in the day.

Fialho Remains Unbeaten With Monstrous Hammer Fist Knockout

In the opening bout of the main card on SPIKE, Andre Fialho (7-0) ferdige Rick Reger (7-2) with a vicious hammer fist knockout 2:11 inn i første ramme. Fialho was the aggressor from the get-go, setting the tone early and often with heavy fists and quick combinations. The 22-year-old Portuguese star continues to climb the ranks in a stacked Bellator welterweight division, as he remains undefeated with six consecutive knockouts and back-to-back first round finishes since joining the Bellator fray. At the conclusion of the fight, Fialho took a moment to acknowledge the significance of his win, dedicating the victory to his friend who had recently passed away.

Lewiston, Maine (Februar 9, 2015) -Ny England Fights’ (NEF) nyeste mixed-kampsport- (MMA) hendelse "NEF XVI,"Fant sted Lørdag natt på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. With temperatures dropping to below zero, og trusselen om en snøstorm truende over området, mer enn 2,500 fight fans braved the elements to pack the state’s most venerable fight venue. The crowd was treated to a total of 24 actionfylte kamper, inkludert fire profesjonelle bouts, to av dem ble for NEF MMA tittel belter.

 

Den viktigste hendelsen i kveld sag Anthony “Cheeses” Morrison (17-9) unseat Ray “Alle Business” Wood (5-1) to become the new NEF MMA Featherweight Champion. The loss spoiled what was expected to be a triumphant return home for Wood. The native of Bucksport, Maine hadde flyttet til South Carolina i 2014 å forfølge sitt mål om å konkurrere i Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Morrison was considered Wood’s toughest challenge to date, har selv konkurrert på den nasjonale scenen i Bellator og World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC). Fortsatt, Wood ble anerkjent som favoritt går inn i bout Lørdag natt. Morrison was dominant for most of the fight, out-bryting Wood før du sender ham med en giljotin choke i den femte runden for å fange beltet.

 

The loss was also the sole blemish on what was otherwise a perfect night for Young’s MMA. The Bangor, Maine-baserte teamet hadde vunnet sine åtte foregående kamper i løpet av kvelden, an amazing feat considering that the Young’s corners were often running back and forth from the cage to the locker room to prepare their fighters for bouts that were mere moments apart from each other. Of particular note, åpningen kamp av kortet kjennetegnet Josh Harvey (3-1) av Youngs rive gjennom topp-ti-rangert amatør fjærvekt Caleb Hall (5-2) med en teknisk knockout (WHO) victory a mere 36-seconds into the first round. Senere, Young nyeste teammedlem, Carl Langston (4-7), fikk sin første seier noensinne på Maine jord med en avgjørelse i løpet av Sheldon Bang (1-2) i en omkamp av en bout Langston hadde mistet på “NEF XIII” i fjor.

 

Marcus Davis Team irsk gikk 2-0 på natten med Ricky Dexter(2-0) plukke opp den andre seier av sin amatørkarriere og Rick Matthews (1-1) getting his first victory. 44-year old Matthews won a decision over Emmett Huber (0-1) mens Dexter scoret en stor knockout på Cory Trial (0-1) i den andre runde, sende Trial til et nærliggende sykehus i prosessen.

 

Høydepunkt-hjuls knockouts var pari for kurset på “NEF XVI.” Among them, UFC, Bellator og Strikeforce veteran Nah-Shon “Rock-n-Rolla” Burrell (11-5) hadde allerede blodig Ryan Hodge(6-10) before knocking him out in the first round of their professional middleweight contest. The most-talked-about knockout of the evening, men, gikk til Caleb Farrington (2-0) Team New England forente (NEW) som droppet Brandon “Enigma” Russell (0-1) with a single right hand just 8-seconds into the first round. The knockout broke the all-time record of 11-seconds previously set by Buck “Knoker” Pineau (7-4) i april 2012.

 

Mer historie ble gjort på “NEF XVI” når en far og ikke en, but two of his sons competed on the same MMA card. Following losses by his sons, Sheldon og Steve Bang (3-3), Dr. Steve Bang(1-0), et medlem av Central Maine brasiliansk Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), entered the NEF MMA cage to a loud ovation from the crowd. The bariatric surgeon wasted little time in going to work on his opponent, Matthew Hanning (0-1), tar ham ned og pounding ut en seier via dommer-stans.

 

NFL og UFC The Ultimate Fighter veteran Tyler kong (8-2) hell forsvarte NEF MMA tungvektstittelen i co-main event på natten, ødeleggende Terry “Isbjørnen” Blackburn (5-3). King stormed into the arena with a determined fire in his eyes. Mid-way through the first round, Kongen tok Blackburn ned til matten og jobbet en Kimura innsending, forcing Blackburn to tap-out. During his post-fight victory interview in the cage, Konge kalt ut massevis av tungvektere og lys-tungvektere inkludert lokale navn som Eric Bedard (6-5), så vel som nasjonale stjerner som Bellator er Muhammed “Konge Mo” Lawal (14-4).

 

To kamper ble annonsert for NEF sin neste MMA event, “NEF XVII,” planlagt for April 11, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. NEF MMA Lett Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington(10-7) møtt-off i buret med Jamie Harrison (5-1) for an interview. Boyington will defend his title at “NEF XVII” against number-one-contender Harrison in the main event. Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-1) og Bellator veteran Dennis Olson (12-7) were also brought into the cage for an interview. The two exciting welterweights will square off at “NEF XVII” i en bout mange lokale observatører mener kan ende opp som en kandidat for “Fight of the Year” i regionen.

Maine NYESTE FIGHT TEAM lage støy i MMA CAGE

Legg igjen en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Februar 3, 2015) -Ny England Fights (NEF), USAs nummer-én regional kamp forfremmelse, presenterer sin neste blandede-kampsport- (MMA) begivenhet denne lørdagen night at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card, tittelen “NEF XVI,” vil inneholde to medlemmer av Maine nyeste fight teamet, Nådeløs MMA & Boksing, i amatør bouts.

 

Nådeløs MMA & Boxing ble stiftet i 2014 by veteran fighter Josh Parker (4-8). Parker has a long history in the NEF MMA cage, ha konkurrert sju ganger for kampen opprykk mellom februar 2012 og november 2013. Mer nylig, Parker har holdt seg ut av MMA bur til å fokusere på sin karriere som profesjonell bokser, samt å bygge hans gym.

 

Parker åpnet gym i 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.

 

“Jeg har tenkt på å starte mitt eget treningsstudio for en stund nå,” Said Parker. “Min første kamp var nesten ti år siden da min sønn var tre. Now he’s 13 og klar til å starte sin egen kamp karriere, og jeg bare hadde en annen sønn. I knew it was time to build my boys a place where they can train whenever they want to. This is a fight family.”

 

Parker introduserte sin første protesjé, Alex Johnson (1-1), in the fall of 2014. Johnson is coming off a win over Rick Matthews (0-1) i en brutal, back-og-tilbake slugfest på “NEF XV” denne siste November. The bout was considered by many to be the “Fight of the Night” av det kortet.

 

Corey Trial (0-0), en annen av Parkers prospekter, håper å fortsette suksessen førte til Ruthless MMA & Boxing by his teammate Alex Johnson. Trial makes his NEF MMA debut denne lørdagen natt i Lewiston når han møter Ricky Dexter (1-0) av Team irsk i en lett konkurranse.

 

“Jeg har alltid drømt om å være i stand til å sparke noen i ansiktet og ikke gå i fengsel for det,” Trial uttalte. “Nå som jeg har den muligheten, du bedre tror noen er å bli skadet.”

 

“Vår stil er enkel, vi liker å stå og bang,” Parker elaborated. “Når vi sparre, vi liker å se hvem som kan treffe hardest. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- før de kommer hit.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Gutta på Ruthless kommer fra alle samfunnslag- enten det var gatekamper eller bur slåss de alle kom med erfaring kaste never. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Våre verdier er enkle- når du kommer du lar egoet på døren. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, du er forventet å bære deg selv som en profesjonell- sportsånd og respekt er et must.”

 

Bryant Orick (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, men, be his first time in the cage. Orick, opprinnelig fra Ohio nå bor i Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years. He is a veteran of eight bouts, kjemper i Buckeye State, Kansas og Indiana, to name a few states. Orick hopes to find a home and success in NEF alongside his Ruthless MMA & Boxing teammates. Ved “NEF XVI” denne helgen, Orick vil ha sitt arbeid kutte ut for ham med ubeseiret Fred Lear (2-0) av Youngs MMA.

 

“Jeg kommer ut for å gjøre et navn for meg selv på NEF,” said Orick. “Jeg er godt avrundet og kommer til å sette på et show. I train hard every day, ha en stor trener og lagkamerater. Nothing will surprise me in my upcoming bout.”

 

” Å være en trener har lært meg å roe det ned og ta det med tilbake til det grunnleggende,” Parker uttalte. “Fighting egentlig er ganske enkel, banke den andre fyren ut og du vinner. I demand 100% fra mine jagerfly, og jeg gir dem 100% tilbake. Fighting is not a hobby, det er en livsstil.”

 

Nådeløs MMA & Boksing ligger i Benton, Maine. You can learn more about the team at their Facebook page “Nådeløs MMA & Boksing.”

 

NEF sin neste MMA event, “NEF XVI,” Foregår dette Lørdag, Februar 7, 2015, med en all-star lineup av kamper planlagt.

“Våre februar hendelser har alltid vært vårt flaggskip,” sa NEF medeier og promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Kombinert med det faktum at dette kortet er lastet med UFC, Bellator, NFL veteraner, to tittelkamper, og retur av Ray Wood (5-0), det er ingen overraskelse at billettsalget har gått den måten de har gått.”

 

Faktisk, billettsalg har vært på en all-time high for denne hendelsen. Det er ikke uvanlig for kampen opprykk til selge ut sine gulvet plasser for enhver showet. Den sell-out, men, har alltid kommet på kampen natt. Setene for gulv “NEF XVI” ble solgt ut en hel 17 dager før arrangementet.

Dette vil være Wood første hjemkomst etter flytting fra Maine til South Carolina i sen-2014.

 

“Jeg er begeistret for denne kampen,” sa Wood når nådd for kommentar. “Jeg har absolutt ingenting å tape. Anthony Morrison har kjempet noen av de beste krigerne i verden, og jeg har en mulighet til å uttale seg med denne kampen. Jeg forbedre mine ferdigheter hver gang jeg går inn i buret, og jeg vet at dette viser vil være noe unntak. Jeg har respekt for Anthony og hvor han har vært i denne sporten, og jeg er beæret over å få muligheten til å kjempe mot ham.”

 

Wood lagkamerat på Youngs MMA, Fred Lear (2-0), vil bli omtalt på amatørdelen av kortet i en catchweight bout mot Bryant Orrick (3-5) fra Ruthless MMA og boksing. Kampen vil bli omstridt på 140-pounds.

Han vil bringe sin A-spillet til buret om kampen være under de store lys i en verdensberømt arena som Androscoggin Bank Colisee eller holdt i en liten, dårlig opplyst rom med noen stoler satt opp rundt et bur.

 

“Personlig det ikke spiller noen rolle hvem eller hvor mange som ser på,” uttalte Harvey. “Jeg kommer til å sette opp en forestilling om det er 20 mennesker eller 20,000. Jeg elsker å underholde. Etter Caleb kroker på til meg vil han vet han har vært i en slåsskamp.”
