Parker kommer att försöka fortsätta sina senaste framgångar i MMA-buren efter de senaste segrarna över Andre Belcarris (0-2) och Derek Shorey (4-9).

 

 

CJ Ewer (3-0) är ute efter att skriva historia genom att bli den första konkurrenten att hålla NEF-mästerskap samtidigt i flera viktdivisioner. Ewer är regerande NEF Pro Mellanviktsmästare.

Ryan Glover Ready to Rock at NEF February 11th

 

Av: Kalle Oakes

PRESSMEDDELANDE: Lewiston, Maine (Februari 9, 2017) – Championships have played a defining role in Ryan Glover’s young life.

That tradition dates back to his junior year at Mountain Valley High School, when Glover achieved the rare double of a team state championship in football and an individual heavyweight wrestling title in the space of three months.

He has continued that tradition as a mixed martial artist, winning the New England Fights light heavyweight amateur strap in only his fourth career foray into the cage.

Growing up in blue-collar Rumford and Mexico also taught Glover that sports aren’t everything, emellertid. That is why his initial title defense against Victor Irwin at “NEF 27: Resurgence” will be his first appearance in the hexagon i 53 weeks.

Glover-Irwin will headline the amateur segment of an ambitious card Lördag, Februari 11 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

“I was on the road in Florida and Virginia a lot for work all summer and didn’t have time to train with the guys I usually train with,” Glover said. “You have to pay the bills before you can go do this stuff. This is just for fun. I hope (Irwin) knows I’ll be prepared for this one.”

Once the opening bell tolls, Glover (3-1) will have experienced more title bouts in the cage than non-title trials. He also battled in an unforgettable slugfest for the NEF amateur heavyweight belt, one that went to his opponent in that fight by a close but unanimous decision.

His experience is one of the reasons Glover envisions a triumphant return.

“He’s a good athlete, but a young kid who doesn’t have any experience beyond the first round,” Glover said. “When I had my first title fight, that was my first time going into a second round and I was kind of dead in the water at that point.”

Glover won the title with a second round submission via arm lock over Mike Williams.

That rapid ascent through the New England heavyweight ranks so early in his career shouldn’t surprise anyone who has followed Glover’s athletic achievements. He has always been ahead of the usual learning curve.

As a junior on an undefeated 2010 Mountain Valley football powerhouse that featured senior standouts Cam Kaubris and Christian Durland, Glover’s work at linebacker was so impressive that he was named the Lewiston Sun Journal player of the year.

“It helps,” Glover said of his gridiron background. “I’ve seen some of the biggest venues there are when it comes to high school sports.”

State wrestling finals packed in two of Maine’s most hallowed indoor sports facilities – Augusta Civic Center and the old Bangor Auditorium – during Glover’s four years on the mat.

Glover made the jump from the 215-pound class to 285 his sophomore year, even though he tipped the scales far beneath the limit. It was a tradition started by Berserker’s MMA stablemate and fellow NEF star Mike “The Mustache” Hansen about six years earlier.

“Mike was kind of the guinea pig for wrestling against those bigger heavyweights,” Glover said. “That’s the way (Coach) Gary Dolloff sold it to me. I remember him saying that the reason he decided to try that with me was because Mike had been successful at it. And of course he was right, because we got a state championship out of it.”

Senior year didn’t live up to that junior promise. Illness and injury conspired to keep Glover from defending both the football and wrestling titles.

“I was ranked No. 1 going into my senior year and got sick,"Sa han. “That just goes to show that sometimes life gets in the way.”

Glover didn’t follow the college track, opting for the work force instead, and it seemed that his sports days were over.

He tried auto racing for a while, then turned to boxing and MMA training to get back in shape. That led to his debut in February 2015, followed quickly by three more cage fights and an amateur boxing match for good measure.

Only when his work commitments returned to the River Valley this past fall did Glover consider getting back into the cage. Family obligations came first, sa han. And yes, pride in the name he’s made for himself over the years was a factor too.

“It’s definitely a sport where you can get hurt if you try to do it (halfway), especially against an opponent like I’m fighting,” Glover said. “He’s a good athlete. He’s as good at wrestling as I ever was, maybe even better.”

Family and friends in the close-knit, upstart Berserkers camp have Glover better prepared than ever. Ryan’s brother, Matt, also has two NEF appearances to his credit.

“I’ve been rolling with my brother and other guys who are 250 or better,” Glover said. “It’s a game-changer. I feel like I’m lot more of a scrambler than (Irwin) är. And especially where I’ll be cutting weight to get to 205, I’ll have the strength advantage.”

He might enjoy one other distinct advantage: Fan support.

Name recognition has its privileges. Or perhaps it is a case of Glover’s absence making his fans’ hearts grow fonder. In any case, his fight is shaping as one of the most anticipated attractions at NEF 27.

“Right after I took the fight I sold 50 tickets by myself,” Glover said. “When my song comes on, I know the place is going to blow up. Young’s (Bangor) always brings a big crowd, so we need that support.”

The opening bell for “NEF 27: Resurgence” on February 11 är inställd för 7 p.m. Biljetter börjar på $25 och finns på www.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisee biljettkassan på 207.783.2009, extension 525.

MATT GLOVER FINDS FUTURE IN FIGHTING AFTER FOOTBALL

Lewiston, Maine (April 22, 2016) – During the years 2003-2006, Matt Glover (1-0) var den player from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine that you did inte want to end up facing from the other side of the pigskin. Standing over six feet tall and weighing 250-pounds, the nightmarish middle linebacker helped to build Mountain Valley (MV) into a modern day football dynasty by punishing ball carriers for four decorated years and leading MV to two state championships in the process. He bench pressed over 400 pounds in the weight room and was hell on wheels on the field making him a powerful two-way double-threat player on both offense and defense. His reputation is legendary in the River Valley area of Western Maine as a feared and respected athlete.

 

After graduating from Mountain Valley in 2007, Glover left football behind to go to work. He married his longtime girlfriend, Lindsey, and had a son. They bought a home together. Throughout the summer and fall seasons, he traveled the agricultural fair circuit in Maine with his pulling horses, a family tradition he had been brought up in from an early age.

 

“My family has been competing in horse pulling since I was a kid,” Glover explained. “It takes up a lot of time and it keeps my dad young. I get up early every morning to exercise my horse teams before I go into work at night. Between my dad, my wife and I, we have 11 draft horses. We bale our own hay for all of them. I love backing them up to the drag and watching them dig.”

 

But despite the fullness of his life, the call of competition still beckoned to him and left him with a sense of longing. “I would have killed to have had that same feeling again,” Glover recalled. “And then I stepped into the cage.”

 

I början av 2015, Matt’s younger brother, Ryan—another Mountain Valley football standout—made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut at “NEF 16.” Ryan swarmed his opponent in his first fight and stopped him in a blistering 12 sekunder. Matt was in attendance that night and found his curiosity piqued at the prospect of competing in a different kind of contact sport.

 

Later in 2015, Ryan competed for the inaugural NEF Amateur Heavyweight Championship. He dropped a decision that night to current title holder, Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1). Efter vinsten, the trash talk quickly escalated between Leahy and members of Berserkers MMA, based out of Rumford and led by head coaches Gary Dolloff and Mike Hansen (3-3). “When Billy Leahy called out all of the guys at Berserkers after he beat my brother, then it was game-on,” recalled Matt.

 

Matt began training closely with members of the Berserkers coaching staff, including Hansen and others, who he credits for his accelerated learning curve in the sport. Dessutom, Matt sparred extensively with brother Ryan, who was preparing for a fight of his own on the same night that Matt was scheduled to make his MMA debut. “My brother and I are not like other brothers,” Matt explained. “We go into the gym and beat the hell out of each other and then ride home in the same truck—that’s just how we have always been. Push, push, push—everything is competition with us. From the first one to get to the next hay bale in the hay field to the first one to get to the supper table—it’s just how we operate.”

 

“Matt’s a real competitive person,” his wife, Lindsey, confirmed. “Everything is a competition with him. I knew that cagefighting would feed that competitive hunger that he feels all the time when he’s not pulling his horses.”

 

Matt officially made his MMA debut back in February at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” against durable veteran Gravin Guillen (2-5). Matt exceeded debut expectations by finishing Guillen in just 1:30 of the first round by technical knockout (VEM). When the ref cleared the scene, Guillen’s face showed the effects of Glover’s record-breaking exploits in the weight room. Glover’s Rumford fans that were in attendance in heavy numbers that night, voiced their approval in thunderous applause. "I början, I had butterflies,” Glover remembered, “but once I heard all the people cheering, all it did was pump me up. I was ready to fight. Vinna eller förlora, I knew they had my back and more.”

 

This weekend, Glover is poised to make his second appearance in the NEF cage when he takes on 6’6” Ras Hylton (1-0) from rival gym, First Class MMA. Hylton made his debut on the same night as Glover and, like his challenger this weekend, made quick work of his opponent by earning a TKO victory at 1:21 av den första omgången.

 

Berserkers MMA Founder and Head Coach, Mike Hansen, predicts a dominant night for Glover. “Matt happens to be much stronger than he even appears, which is incredible if you have ever seen him,” Hansen stated. “A guy of his size normally struggles with agility, but Matt doesn’t. He is a super athlete and easy to coach. Matt improves daily and will be a juggernaut in the heavyweight amateur division.

 

“Ras is used to being the bigger guy in all of his fights. That will not be the case on Saturday night. Matt will put his hands on Hylton in a way he’s never been touched before. I don’t see Ras walking away from this fight with his hand held high. He should consider it a win if he can walk away at all when Matt’s done with him.”

 

Going into Lördag natt, Glover feels well prepared to continue building on his success in the sport of MMA that he started to create back in February. If his athletic history is any indicator, he should be confident in the future. “I’m ready for this fight,” Glover stated. “In this fight, I’m more relaxed because my brother’s not fighting and I can just focus on my fight… After that first win, I knew I was hooked because there’s no better feeling.”

 

“When people first started speaking to Matt about competing in MMA, I was completely against it 110%,” Lindsey stated. “But after watching him train so hard with the guys in the gym and seeing that he has the same passion for that as he does for his horse pulling, I felt more at ease and decided that if this was something he wanted to pursue, I would support him in any way that I possibly could.

 

“The Glover brothers fighting in MMA is a big thing for Rumford,” Lindsey stated in closing. “Every time it’s getting close to fight night, this town comes alive. No matter where he goes within the sport, this town and his family support him.”

Prior to competing in MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.

 

Förra året, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. Nu, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.

 

“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, eftersom, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”

 

Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. Williams, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (CMBJJ) i Auburn, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.

 

“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.

 

“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"Uppgav NEF delägare och matchmaker Matt Peterson. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, aggressiv, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”

NEF XVI RECAP: KING BEHÅLLER; WOOD detroniserad; Youngs MMA GOES 8-1

Tyler King after retaining the Heavyweight Title on Saturday night

Lewiston, Maine (Februari 9, 2015) -Nya England Fights’ (NEF) senaste mixed-martial-arts (MMA) händelse "NEF XVI,"Ägde rum Lördag natt på Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. With temperatures dropping to below zero, och hotet om en snöstorm hotande över området, mer än 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 actionfyllda slagsmål, inklusive fyra professionella skjutningarna, varav två var för NEF MMA titel bälten.

 

Den viktigaste händelsen i kvällens sågen Anthony “Cheeses” Morrison (17-9) unseat Ray “Alla Business” Trä (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 hade flyttat till South Carolina i 2014 att fullfölja sitt mål att konkurrera i Fighting Championship Ultimate (UFC). Morrison was considered Wood’s toughest challenge to date, ha själv tävlat på den nationella scenen i Bellator och World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC). Fortfarande, Trä erkändes som favorit går in i matchen Lördag natt. Morrison was dominant for most of the fight, out-brottning Wood innan du skickar honom med en giljotin choke i den femte rundan att fånga bältet.

 

The loss was also the sole blemish on what was otherwise a perfect night for Young’s MMA. The Bangor, Maine-baserade teamet hade vunnit sina tidigare åtta matcher under loppet av kvällen, 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, öppnings kamp kortet presenterade Josh Harvey (3-1) av Youngs rivning genom topp-tio-rankad amatör fjäderviktare Caleb Hall (5-2) med en teknisk knockout (VEM) victory a mere 36-seconds into the first round. Senare, Young nyaste teammedlem, Carl Langston (4-7), fick sin första seger någonsin på Maine jord med ett beslut över Sheldon Bang (1-2) i ett omspel av en släng Langston hade förlorat på “NEF XIII” förra året.

 

Marcus Davis Team irländare gick 2-0 på natten med Ricky Dexter(2-0) plocka upp den andra segern av hans amatörkarriär och Rick Matthews (1-1) getting his first victory. 44-year old Matthews won a decision over Emmett Huber (0-1) medan Dexter gjorde en stor knockout på Cory Trial (0-1) i andra omgången, skicka Trial till ett närliggande sjukhus i processen.

 

Markera-hjuls knockouts var par för kursen på “NEF XVI.” Among them, UFC, Bellator och Strike veteran Nä-Shon “Rock-n-Rolla” Burrell (11-5) hade redan 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, emellertid, gick till Caleb Farrington (2-0) Team New England (NY) som tappade 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 “Knuckles” Pineau (7-4) i April 2012.

 

Mer historia gjordes vid “NEF XVI” när en far och inte en, but two of his sons competed on the same MMA card. Following losses by his sons, Sheldon och Steve Bang (3-3), Dr. Steve Bang(1-0), en medlem av central Maine Brazilian 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), ta ner honom och bankar ut en seger via referee-stopp.

 

NFL och UFC The Ultimate Fighter veteran Tyler kung (8-2) framgångsrikt försvarade NEF MMA Heavyweight titel i co-main event i natten, besegra Terry “Polar Bear” Blackburn (5-3). King stormed into the arena with a determined fire in his eyes. Mid-way through the first round, Kungen tog Blackburn ner på mattan och arbetade en Kimura inlämnande, forcing Blackburn to tap-out. During his post-fight victory interview in the cage, Kungen ropade en massa tungviktare och lätta tungviktare inklusive lokala namn som Eric Bedard (6-5), liksom nationella stjärnor som Bellator Muhammed “Kung Mo” Lawal (14-4).

 

Två matcher har aviserats för NEF nästa MMA event, “NEF XVII,” planerad till April 11, 2015 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. NEF MMA Lätt Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington(10-7) möter-off i buren 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 “Sista-minuten” Lawton (4-1) och 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 många lokala observatörer känner skulle kunna hamna en utmanare till “Fight of the Year” i regionen.

MAINE nyaste FIGHT TEAM väsnas i MMA CAGE

Lewiston, Maine (Februari 3, 2015) -Nya England Fights (NEF), USA: s nummer ett regionalt kamp främjande, presenterar sina kommande mixed-martial-arts (MMA) händelse denna lördag night at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine. The fight card, titled “NEF XVI,” kommer att innehålla två medlemmar av Maine nyaste kampen laget, Hänsynslösa MMA & Boxning, i amatör skjutningarna.

 

Hänsynslösa MMA & Boxning grundades 2014 by veteran fighter Josh Parker (4-8). Parker has a long history in the NEF MMA cage, ha tävlat sju gånger för kampen främjande mellan februari 2012 och november 2013. På senare tid, Parker har varit ur MMA buren för att fokusera på sin karriär som professionell boxare, samt bygga hans gym.

 

Parker öppnade gymmet 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.

 

“Jag har funderat på att starta min egen gym ett tag nu,” Said Parker. “Min första kamp var nästan tio år sedan när min son var tre. Now he’s 13 och redo att börja sin egen kamp karriär, och jag hade bara en annan son. 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 introducerade sin första adept, Alex Johnson (1-1), in the fall of 2014. Johnson is coming off a win over Rick Matthews (0-1) i en brutal, back-och-tillbaka slugfest på “NEF XV” detta tidigare November. The bout was considered by many to be the “Fight of the Night” av det kortet.

 

Corey Trial (0-0), en annan av Parkers utsikter, hoppas kunna fortsätta framgången kommit till Ruthless MMA & Boxing by his teammate Alex Johnson. Trial makes his NEF MMA debut denna lördag natt i Lewiston när han möter Ricky Dexter (1-0) Team irländare i en lätt tävling.

 

“Jag har alltid drömt om att kunna stämpla någon i ansiktet och inte åka i fängelse för det,” Trial uppgav. “Nu när jag har den möjligheten, du bättre tror någons bli sårad.”

 

“Vår stil är enkel, vi gillar att stå och bang,” Parker elaborated. “När vi spar, Vi gillar att se vem som kan slå hårdast. Mike Tyson said it best ‘everybody’s got a plan- tills de får hit.’ We want to give the fans exciting fights. We’re looking for knockouts.

 

“Killarna på Ruthless kommer från alla samhällsskikt- om det var gatustrider eller bur slåss de alla kom med erfarenhet kastar nävar. They each approached me after hearing I was building a gym. Våra värderingar är enkla- när du kommer in du lämnar ditt ego vid dörren. When you’re a part of the Ruthless team, du förväntas bära dig själv som en professionell- sportsmannaanda och respekt är ett måste.”

 

Bryant Orick (3-5) is another Ruthless team member scheduled to make his NEF MMA debut this Saturday night. It will not, emellertid, be his first time in the cage. Orick, född i Ohio bor nu i Clinton, Maine, has competed in the sport for five years. He is a veteran of eight bouts, slåss i Buckeye staten, Kansas och Indiana, to name a few states. Orick hopes to find a home and success in NEF alongside his Ruthless MMA & Boxing teammates. Vid “NEF XVI” denna helg, Orick kommer ha sitt arbete skära ut för honom med obesegrad Fred Lear (2-0) av Youngs MMA.

 

“Jag kommer ut för att göra ett namn för mig själv på NEF,” said Orick. “Jag är väl avrundad och ska sätta på en show. I train hard every day, har en stor tränare och lagkamrater. Nothing will surprise me in my upcoming bout.

 

” Att vara en coach har lärt mig att sakta ner och föra den tillbaka till grunderna,” Parker uppgav. “Fighting egentligen är ganska enkel, knock den andra killen ut och du vinner. I demand 100% från mina fighters, och jag ger dem 100% tillbaka. Fighting is not a hobby, det är en livsstil.”

 

Hänsynslösa MMA & Boxning är beläget i Benton, Maine. You can learn more about the team at their Facebook page “Hänsynslösa MMA & Boxning.”

 

NEF nästa MMA event, “NEF XVI,” Sker detta Lördag, Februari 7, 2015, with an all-star lineup of fights scheduled. Ray “Alla Business” Trä (5-0) återgår den natten för att försvara NEF MMA Featherweight titel mot Bellator och WEC veteran Anthony “Cheeses” Morrison (16-9).
