He is currently a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, and he looks forward to fighting for the first time in front of his home crowd.

“I’m absolutely ecstatic to be finally fighting on my home turf,” Said Dexter. “I’m getting pushed by some of the best fighters in New England every day. Op die top van dat, I’ve got a MMA mastermind in my corner, Chris Young, who’s sharpening my technique and working out the kinks. Come February 1st, you will see a completely different and evolved fighter.”

Ruben Redman will likewise return to the NEF cage after an extended absence. Redman last competed in August 2016 in Bangor. He will be looking for his first victory as a professional. Redman’s last win came in his amateur days when he scored a technical knockout in the first round against Heath Hanson (1-3) by “NEF 13” in Junie 2015.

“I’m healthy and ready for a great fight—that’s all I can say,” stated Redman. “The rest will be determined when the cage door locks.”

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Lewiston, Maine (Januarie 6, 2017) -Nuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) keer terug na die Androscoggin Bank Colisee op Februarie 11, 2017 met sy volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vegkuns, “NEF 27: Herlewing.” Vroeër vandag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional catchweight fight to the card. Matt “Ken pop” Definiering (3-5) is geskeduleer om gesig Ricky Dexter (0-0) at a weight of 160-pounds.

 

Denning is fresh off an appearance for World Series of Fighting (WSOF) at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past New Year’s Eve. All of Denning’s previous professional bouts had been for NEF. The Lewiston resident is looking to break a string of three losses after submitting Derek Shorey (4-8) last spring at “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Denning is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

 

“I’m coming back to NEF to make a statement,” said Denning emphatically. “I’m coming off of a couple of losses in a row and I’m coming to get that win. They think I’m all Jiu Jitsu and can’t take a punch. You want to brawl with me? Let’s stand toe-to-toe. You’re going to try and lay on me like you did in your amateur career? I’m going to welcome Dexter to the pros in a mean way. It’s a new level here and I’m going to come out on top!’

 

Ricky Dexter will vacate the NEF Amateur Welterweight Title to turn professional and face Denning on Februarie 11. Dexter won that championship last February with a first-round technical knockout of Caleb Farrington (3-1). As 'n amateur, Dexter put together a very impressive record of 5-2 with all five of his wins coming by finish. Dexter represents Team Irish in Brewer, Maine.

 

“Once Matt Denning feels my power and the inability to take me down, he’s going to be looking for a way out like he always does, except I’m not looking for the sub,” Said Dexter. “11 Februarie, I’m going to show the NEF fans that Matt Denning is in the fight game for the wrong reasons. I’m coming from the ‘ammo league,’ but I’ve been training with killers my whole career. I’m going to show everyone I belong here.”

 

NEF se volgende geleentheid, “NEF 27: herlewing” vind plaas op Saterdag, Februarie 11, 2017 by 7 namiddag. Kaartjies begin by $25 en is nou te koop by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009, uitbreiding 525.

That night, Span Ierse se Ricky Dexter (3-1) is geskeduleer om te voldoen aan CJ Ewer (3-2) in an NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Title eliminator. Onlangs, Dexter was die gas op die NEF Podcast aangebied deur NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson.

 

'N veteraan van die Verenigde State Vloot, Dexter by Marcus Davis se span Ierse gym na beweeg die tuiste van Bangor, Maine at the conclusion of his military service. Uiteindelik, Dexter het oor die fiksheid program by die gym, nou bekend as “207 Atlete.” Dexter touched on his progression from joining the gym to becoming a trainer.

 

“Ek wou hou uit te werk en in 'n goeie toestand te hou,” said Dexter of his return home to Maine from military service. “I figured I’d go work out with the guys at Team Irish. I started doing their workout regimen. I dabbled a little bit with MMA training. Slowly I got more into it over time. It was a good workout. As time went on, I got better at it. I got more addicted with the more I learned, met Marcus se kennis, I got addicted to it. He hired me to run his fitness class. Na dit, I figured I’d take a fight. I was in pretty good shape.”

 

Vroeër vanjaar, Dexter betrokke is in 'n uitmergelende slugfest met Cory Trial (1-1) by “NEF XVI.” It was just Dexter’s second fight in the MMA cage. The bout ended in a knockout victory for Dexter. The highlight-reel knockout will, geen twyfel, wees in die hardloop vir 'n nominasie vir “KO van die Jaar” by die “NEF 2015 Jaareinde Awards.”

 

“Die eerste ronde ek pretty much onthou,” recalled Dexter. “The second round I kind of went into a trance. I don’t really remember much of it, just from watching the video. When you get to that point your training takes over. You kind of black out and, voor jy dit weet, jy kry jou hand grootgemaak.”

 

In alle, Dexter klaar sy eerste drie amateur aanvalle op sy pad te kry 'n skoot op die NEF MMA Amateur Liggewig Championship by “NEF XVIII” die afgelope Junie teen Josh Harvey (4-1).

“Hy is 'n baie goeie stoeier, 'n groot man,” Dexter said of Ewer. “He looks like he’s pretty skilled. He comes from a respected school in Young’s. We all know what he’s gonna do, en ons almal weet wat ek moet doen.”

The winner of the bout will get a shot at becoming the inaugural NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion at a later date.

 

Ricky Dexter is 'n lid van die span Ierse in Brewer, Maine en 'n protégé van die legendariese Marcus “Die Ierse handgranaat” Davis (22-11).

Verlede maand, Dexter gekonfronteer CJ Ewer se spanmaat Josh Harvey (4-1) in a losing effort for the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title. Dexter will look to avenge that loss on September 12.

RIVAL BANGOR-AREA GYMS VIE FOR FIRST-EVER AMATEUR MMA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

Skryf 'n opmerking

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (April 16, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy agtiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” op Saterdag, Junie 13, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced that the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion will be crowned that evening when undefeated Ricky Dexter (3-0), representing Marcus Davis’ Span Ierse, sal plaasvind op Josh Harvey (3-1) of cross-town rival Young’s MMA. The bout will be contested at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Dexter and Harvey are regarded as two of the top prospects currently on the NEF MMA roster. Both athletes are undefeated in the promotion’s cage. Op Junie 13, they will carry on a rivalry that has raged in NEF between the Young’s MMA and Team Irish gyms for several years.

 

“Both of these young athletes are a testament to their respective gyms, as well as to how far the sport has come in Maine,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson. “They both came along after NEF was established in the state, and we have seen both of them grow over the past year. We in the NEF front office unanimously believe that Josh and Ricky have a bright future ahead of them in MMA and look forward to this highly competitive bout set to be contested in Lewiston on Junie 13ste."

 

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “NEF XVII.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

 

“I’m honored to be fighting for the NEF Lightweight Amateur Title,” stated Dexter. “To me there’s a lot more on the line than just a belt. Op 13 Junie you better believe I’m bringing it.”

 

When fans last saw Josh Harvey in the NEF cage, he had his arm raised in victory after mauling Caleb Hall (5-2) in the amateur opener of “NEF XVI” die afgelope Februarie. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine. Many insiders believe this will be one of Harvey’s final amateur fights before turning professional.

 

“Two top fighters from two top schools, this is a match to be excited about,” stated Harvey when reached for comment. “I have all the respect in the world for Ricky, but there is no where this fight goes that I don’t win.”

 

NEF se volgende MMA geval, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” will originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine on June 13, 2015. Kaartjies vir “NEF XVIII” begin by net $25 en is nou te koop by www.TheColisee.com of deur die Colisee loket by 207.783.2009 x 525.
