VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Lewiston, Maine (Augustus 21, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy negentiende gemengde martial arts-hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF XIX: TUISKOMS,” Saterdag, September 12, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. Headlining the amateur portion of the fight card will be Josh Harvey (4-1) verdediging van die NEF MMA Amateur liggewigtitel teen Ryan Dibartolomeo(4-3). Onlangs, Harvey was die gas van NEF mede-eienaar en Match Matt Peterson op die NEF Podcast.
Harvey was introduced to the mats early in life. He started wrestling in junior high school and continued through his high school years. He began boxing at the age of 15 and trained in the ring for the next seven years. It was not until he attended “NEF VIII: Nasies Collide” in Bangor dat Harvey besef hy het 'n toekoms kan hê in die sport van die MMA.
“Wanneer NEF het na Bangor en ek gekyk Ray Wood vang die titel, en ek onthou hom van die hoërskool stoei, dit was my cue om te kry op hierdie,” Said Harvey. “I knew it was a true possibility to go somewhere in MMA. , there’s nowhere for wrestlers to go. Plaasmoorde, that’s the outlet. That’s why you see wrestlers dominating in MMA all the way to the top.”
Kort na die gebeurtenis, then Young’s MMA wrestling coach Mark Heathcote reached out to Harvey through Facebook to invite him to train with the team. Harvey quickly found a home at the Bangor gym founded by Chris Young. He joined in on the massive success the team had already found in the MMA cages of New England.
“Ek was baie hartlik gegroet by Young se,” Harvey recalled. “Everyone was very kind over there. Bruce (Boyington, huidige NEF MMA Professionele liggewigkampioen) was die eerste persoon om my te neem, nie te sê onder sy vlerk, but to get together outside of the gym and we became friends. As far as the success Young’s has had as a team, Ek is nie gonna sê jy kan dit alles kryt tot beter afrigting, maar ons het die beste om het, ten minste in hierdie toestand, moontlik in New England.”
Op sy pad na die eis NEF MMA Amateur Liggewig Championship die afgelope Junie, Harvey finished all three of his NEF opponents in a total of just over three minutes. Harvey, egter, sien sy toekoms in die sport in die afdeling veergewigtitel.
“Ek het nie op te lei om hulle almal klaar in die eerste ronde,” Said Harvey. “That’s just how it wound up. Maybe you’ll see me go the distance as the competition gets thicker. That’s why I love this fight with Ryan (Dibartolomeo). Hy is, Ek glo, posisie nommer twee, so this is a good way to find out where I lay in that level. I’m not a 55er. As far as I’m concerned, I’m a 45er that’s fighting at 55. Best 45er? Amateur in New England? Ja. The game’s gonna change when I go professional. We’ll see where I stack up there.”
Wanneer Harvey begin praat potensiaal teenstanders vir “NEF XIX” met NEF matchmakers, he was very clear that he wanted the toughest opponent they could find for him. If he wanted tough, he will get just that in Ryan Dibartolomeo. Dibartolomeo is out of John Fain’s Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire. After dropping his first three, Dibartolomeo het sy laaste vier gevegte gewen het in 'n ry, 'n indrukwekkende streep wat begin by “NEF X” in September 2013.
“Al sy gevegte wat hy gewen het deur 'n besluit is,” Said Harvey. “In my gedagtes, he let the judges win those fights for him. Fights aren’t won by judges. Fights are won by fighters. My prediction is it’s gonna be a finish. I’m gonna go out there, kill or be killed. He’s either gonna finish me or I’m gonna finish him. That’s how it’s gonna happen.”
