NEF FINISHES 2018 SEASON WITH SOLD-OUT EVENT IN PORTLAND

即時發布: 波特蘭, 緬因 (十一月 18, 2018) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) held its most recent mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 36: 爭鬥為金,” on Saturday night at Aura in Portland, 緬因. The event officially sold-out days prior to doors opening. It was the fifth and final NEF event of the 2018 季節, and what many in attendance insisted was the standout show of the year.

在主要事件, Ryan Sanders (18-9) put the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title on the line against 雅各布·博恩 (7-6). Sanders retained the championship after the cageside doctor stopped the fight due to a cut on Bohn’s head in the second round.

History was made when 拉斯希爾頓 (3-2) 和 Yorgan De Castro (3-0) faced off to crown the first-ever NEF MMA Professional Cruiserweight Champion in the co-main event. De Castro captured the strap in dramatic fashion with a violent first-round knockout of Hylton.

Matt Probin (3-0) made his long-awaited NEF debut against Lionel Young (7-16). Probin remained undefeated in his professional career when he forced a referee stoppage to strikes early in the second round.

In the opening fight of the evening, 泰勒·湯普森 (3-0) 和 CATIE丹寧 (1-1) waged an absolute war that had the entire crowd on its feet to kick off the amateur card. Thompson won a unanimous decision on the judges’ 記分卡.

Later on in the amateur card, 梅根·羅薩 (0-1) 和 沃森的榮耀 (2-0) battled back and forth in another crowd-pleasing thriller that went the distance. Watson was victorious via split decision in a very close fight.

In the third and final women’s fight of the evening, 切爾西塔克 (1-3) picked up the first win of her amateur career with a late-fight technical knockout of BJ Garceau (1-1).

理查德·扎克 (3-0) remained undefeated with a first-round submission of Chris Lachcik (0-2). It was a fight that Richard had dedicated to the memory of his older sister Lacey who passed away from cancer six years ago this weekend at the age of 23.

Likewise, in a post fight interview, an emotional 亨利·克拉克 (5-4) dedicated his victory over Killian Murphy (1-2) to a friend of his named Justin who recently passed away.

NEF further announced that its next event, “NEF 37: SUB ZERO,” would originate from the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on Friday, 二月 1, 2019. The main event will feature 喬希 “勾搭上” 哈維 (5-0-1) 和 賬單 “Jonesi” 瓊斯 (13-11) squaring off for the vacant NEF MMA Professional Featherweight Title.

TITLE FIGHTS HEADLINE FINAL NEF EVENT OF 2018

發表評論

 

波特蘭, 緬因 (十一月 2, 2018) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) 將持有其最終混合武術事件 2018, “NEF 36: 爭鬥為金,” 週六, 十一月 17 在Aura在波特蘭, 緬因. 今天早些時候，, the fight promotion announced the fight card for the event featuring a full slate of professional and amateur fights.

 

 

 

The professional side of the card will be headlined by a pair of title fights as Ryan Sanders (17-9) defends the lightweight strap against 雅各布·博恩 (7-5) 和 拉斯希爾頓 (3-1) 會見 Yorgan De Castro (2-0) to crown the first-ever NEF cruiserweight champion.

 

 

 

Sanders has held the lightweight title since April 2017 when he defeated Jon Lemke (7-9) in a tournament final. He has won a remarkable eight in a row in the NEF cage, not losing on Maine soil in four years. New York’s Jacob Bohn has won his last two in a row over veterans Kenny Foster (12-13) and Lewis Corapi (8-4) 分別.

 

 

 

Ras Hylton is coming off a highlight-reel elbow knockout of Eric Bedard (6-8) 去年八月. The 6’6″ resident of South Portland, known to fans as “牙買加三葉草,” is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage where he also went 3-0 作為一個業餘. Yorgan De Castro is undefeated as a professional, having finished both of his opponents by technical knockout. The bout will be the first in the newly-created NEF 225-pound cruiserweight division which will fall between the light-heavyweight (205-英鎊) 而權重股 (265-英鎊) classes.

 

 

 

Also on the professional card will be a flyweight contest between Portland fan-favorite 埃內斯托·奧尼拉斯 (4-7) and undefeated Massachusetts prospect Jose Lugo (3-0). Ornelas is riding a two-fight win streak while Lugo, nicknamed “El Salvaje,” has finished all three of his opponents.

 

Matt Probin (2-0) is scheduled to make his long-awaited debut with NEF when he meets veteran Lionel Young (7-15) 在輕量級比賽. Probin has won back-to-back bouts in Vermont via knockout to start his professional career.

 

 

 

截至記者發稿時, NEF was still searching for a replacement opponent for 卡爾·蘭斯頓 (0-1) in a professional featherweight bout after several previous opponents had pulled out. Interested featherweights should contact NEF matchmakers via email at newenglandfights@gmail.com. Serious inquiries only please.

 

 

 

The amateur portion of the card is scheduled to feature a total of three women’s MMA bouts. 沃森的榮耀 (1-0) 將在 梅根·羅薩 (0-0), 而 BJ Garceau (1-0) 會見 切爾西塔克 (0-3) 和 CATIE丹寧 (1-0) 與面臨關閉 泰勒·湯普森 (2-0). 沃森, Garceau and Tucker are all members of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine owned and operated by coach Chris Young. The trio has been nicknamed “克里斯’ Angels.”

SANDERS AND BOHN WILL BATTLE FOR THE GOLD IN PORTLAND

發表評論

波特蘭, 緬因 (十月 11, 2018) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) 將持有其最終混合武術事件 2018, “NEF 36: 爭鬥為金,” 週六, 十一月 17 在Aura在波特蘭, 緬因. 今天早些時候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight championship bout to the card. “該” Ryan Sanders (17-9) is scheduled to defend the NEF Professional Lightweight Title against Jacob “捷豹” Bohn (7-5).

It is only fitting that the lightweight championship will be defended at the top of the card titled “Battle for the Gold.” The NEF 155-pound strap is the most-coveted in all of New England. It has been known as the jumping off point for many athletes from the regional scene onto the national level of the sport. Current UFC competitor Devin Powell (9-3) held the title just prior to signing with the world’s biggest MMA promotion. Desmond “捕食者” 綠色 (21-8), also currently on the UFC roster, signed with Bellator just days after winning the NEF lightweight belt in 2013. And Bruce “漂亮男孩” Boyington (16-11), another of the NEF 155-pound titleholders, went on to compete nationally for the World Series of Fighting.

Despite holding such a prestigious regional championship, the fight opportunities at lightweight for Ryan Sanders have been few and far between. To say it has been frustrating for him and his coaches at Young’s MMA would be a major understatement. Sanders has called out virtually every top 155-pound competitor in the New England region, but none have been brave enough to step in the cage with him. Even the casual observer cannot really blame them. Sanders literally tore current Glory Kickboxing signee Vince McGuiness’ (5-8) arm out of its socket earlier this year at “NEF 34” and then followed-up that performance with a dominant submission win over Mando Montoya (10-7) 在 “NEF 35” 上個月.

“I was sitting around, eating my feelings because I was convinced that there was no one that would fight me,” said Sanders. “但 (NEF owners) 缺口 (DiSalvo) and Matt (彼得森) went out of New England where I assume there are less cowards and found a quality opponent in Jacob. I look forward to methodically breaking Jacob, showing my ever improving skill set and defending my lightweight belt. I have the mindset and work ethic to be the greatest fighter that has ever come out of Maine and on November 17, I will show why I am ready for the next level.”

雅各布·博恩, based out of Waterville, 紐約, is coming off two big wins in lightweight bouts earlier this year. He defeated longtime veteran Kenny Foster (12-13) via split decision on a card in Long Island, 紐約. Bohn went on to submit Lewis Corapi (8-4) in the first round of a bout in Rhode Island this past summer.

“I’m excited to visit Maine and can’t wait to make my NEF debut against Ryan Sanders for the lightweight belt,” stated Bohn when reached for comment. “I only take fights that I think will take me to the next level, and Sanders looks like a game opponent. Get ready for a show New England, I’m coming for that strap!”

NEF的下一個混合武術事件, “NEF 36: 爭鬥為金,” 將看到該公司使其在波特蘭恢復靈氣, 緬因. 本次活動定於星期六, 十一月 17, 2018 與鐘時間 7 下午. 門票現已公開發售，在 www.AuraMaine.com.

VETERAN WEST COAST FIGHTER MONTOYA FINDS A NEW HOME IN MAINE MMA SCENE

發表評論

Brunswick, 緬因 (八月 15, 2018) – It’s absolutely no secret that few New England lightweights have raised their fists to volunteer for a mixed martial arts showdown with “The” Ryan Sanders in recent years.

 

The competition at welterweight isn’t clamoring for a date with Sanders, 或, although a newcomer to the region with ties to another hotbed of the sport is eager to embrace the challenge at “New England Fights 35: Wicked Season.”

 

Armando “Chino” Montoya, 老牌 16 專業的較量, and linked closely with a pioneering figure in combat sports, will answer the call 星期六, 九月 8. The bout will take place on Sanders’ home turf at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. Opening bell time is 7 P.M.

 

“(NEF共同擁有和媒人) Matt Peterson asked me if I wanted to fight, and I was happy to take it,” Montoya said. “I like to push myself. I don’t like easy fights.”

 

That attitude is a product of both Montoya’s cultural and professional background.

He’s proud to be a first-generation Mexican-American and a product of the relentless, fighting culture that has made his parents’ homeland such a force in boxing and MMA.

 

While living, working and fighting in California, he was a student of Thomas “Wildman” Denny, a veteran with almost 50 pro fights under his belt.

 

“That’s a name well-known to longtime fans of the sport,” Peterson said. “Denny was known for always having exciting fights, 輸贏, and I know he instilled some of that mentality in his students, such as Armando.”

 

Montoya (10-6) fought primarily in California, Colorado and New Mexico. He was in line to fight on a UFC card in Wyoming when a hand injury forced him to withdraw from the bout.

 

Although work and family commitments have slowed his pace in recent years, only five years separate him from a six-fight win streak.

 

“I’ve fought the top local guys wherever I’ve been my whole career. I fought against guys who wound up fighting for UFC or Strikeforce,” Montoya said. “我 38, which I know is pretty old in this business, but I still like to challenge myself. It’s become more like a hobby. I have to work and support my family, but when the opportunities have come up, I love to train and give it a shot.”

 

A union carpenter by trade, Montoya sought more lucrative opportunities in that realm. Maine wound up on his radar because it is his mother-in-law’s home.

After the move, Montoya sought a local gym where he could continue to hone his craft in the martial arts. At 6-foot-3, having spent much of his career at middleweight, Montoya said he didn’t find many sparring partners his size.

 

“Then I was working in Portland and the superintendent there was a friend of John Raio,” Montoya recalled. “他說, ‘You should check out First Class MMA in Brunswick,’ so I did.”

 

Both family-oriented men with a passion for the sport and their shared faith, Raio and Montoya became fast friends.

 

“Armando is a strong leader and our most experienced fighter,” Raio said. “He’s the most humble guy you will ever meet and a devout Christian. His warm presence and willingness to share his knowledge and experience at First Class MMA make him a strong asset to our gym. He has been a huge reason for the growth of our students. I’m honored to call him my fighter and a great friend. He’s like family to me.”

 

First Class doesn’t have many exact matchups for the newcomer’s body type, 或, but Montoya likes the mix of personalities and youthful exuberance.

 

“It’s exciting to see other people so excited about the sport,” Montoya said. “First Class has a lot of young guys who are just starting out, that have had one or two fights.”

 

Montoya’s first inclination is a stand-up clash. Most of his opponents have been substantially shorter, 雖然, and prefer ground-and-pound affairs in which his reach advantage is less of a factor. He said he enjoys the contrast of styles.

 

Sanders (16-9) is the clear favorite. In his prime at 31, undefeated through his past seven sojourns in the NEF hexagon, he has been more active than his unfamiliar opponent.

 

“Unfamiliar” is the operative word. The unknowns – namely Montoya’s vast experience against a different talent pool – make it a can’t-miss matchup.

 

Montoya can appreciate the challenge Sanders will face in ascending a class to face him.

 

“I’m used to being the one going up in weight,“他說，. “Being 6-foot-3, I’m used to bumping up from 170 到 185. It’s kind of cool being on the other side this time.”

While Montoya is quick to acknowledge God for his forward motion in life, he gives MMA proper credit for its role in his salvation, 還有.

 

Before entering the amateur ranks at age 25, ‘Mando’ spent five years in federal prison and walked out mad at the world.

 

“I had a lot of anger issues,“他說，. “This sport showed me how to take out that anger in a constructive way. I didn’t need to fight in the bars and the clubs anymore.”

 

Many have gained from Montoya’s personal triumphs. 現在, add NEF’s devoted fan base to that list.

 

“We’re lucky to have someone of Armando’s caliber stepping up to face Ryan,” Peterson said. “As if this card weren’t already exciting enough, now we have this added fight to thrill the Bangor fans. It doesn’t get any better than this.”

 

NEF的下一個混合武術事件, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, 緬因. The event is scheduled to take place 星期六, 九月 8, 2018 與鐘時間 7 下午. 門票現已公開發售，在 www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

MONTOYA STEPS UP TO FACE SANDERS ON SEPTEMBER 8 IN BANGOR

發表評論

班戈, 緬因 (八月 8, 2018) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) will hold its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” 上 九月 8 at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor. 今天早些時候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the card. “該” Ryan Sanders (16-9) 將面臨 Armando “Big Chino” Montoya (10-6) 在170磅重的鬥爭.

The bout will be the third for Sanders in front of his hometown friends, 家人和歌迷們. He is undefeated in the Queen City, where Sanders trains at Young’s MMA. He scored a decision over Derrick Kennington (13-11) two years ago at “NEF Presents Dana白色: Lookin’ for a Fight” and a submission of Jay Ellis (15-78) last year at the Cross. 總體, Sanders is on a roll, having won six of his last seven. During that stretch, he captured the NEF Professional Lightweight Title, knocked out veteran John Ortolani (8-13) in a mere 15-seconds, and literally tore Vince McGuiness’ (5-8) arm out of its socket earlier this summer at “NEF 34” 在波特蘭, 緬因.

Unfortunately for Sanders, his meteoric rise to the top of New England’s 155-pound division over the course of the last two years has come with consequences. He has called out virtually every other top lightweight prospect in the region in recent months with the sound of crickets as the only response. It is a testament to both Sanders’ skill and the respect, (or fear for that matter), that his peers hold for him. Hence Sanders’ move to the heavier welterweight division to find opponents willing to step in the cage across from him.

“I am excited that I get another chance to fight in my backyard,” said Sanders. “I appreciate Montoya for taking this fight because not many men are willing to fight me regionally. I look forward to displaying my ever evolving tool set come 九月 8 and getting another step closer to being the best in the world. It’ll be a great night for Young’s MMA and myself.”

Armando Montoya is a longtime veteran of the MMA cage. He started his professional career back in 2009 on the West Coast and has competed extensively throughout the Southwest over the years.

發表評論

 

波特蘭, 緬因 (五月 18, 2018) –Earlier today, 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) released the official card for its upcoming return to Aura in Portland, 緬因. The mixed-martial-arts event, 有權 “NEF 34: 勇者之家,” is scheduled to take place on Saturday night, 六月 16, 2018 與鐘時間 7:00 美國東部時間下午.

 

 

 

The main event will feature two rising East Coast prospects when Bangor, Maine’s own 亞倫 “狠” 萊西 (5-1) meets Fayetteville, 北卡羅來納州 Da’Mon “The Diamond” Blackshear (4-1) 在輕量級回合. Lacey is coming off a dominant win over veteran Josh Parker (6-9) 今年早些時候，, while Blackshear looks to rebound from the first loss of his professional career last August.

 

 

 

Lacey’s Young’s MMA teammate “該” Ryan Sanders (15-9) will see action in the co-main event against Tampa, 佛羅里達州 Vince McGuiness (5-7). Sanders is the reigning NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Champion. The fight with McGuiness will be a non-title affair.

 

 

 

Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be yet another Young’s MMA competitor in the form of 卡爾·蘭斯頓 (0-1) who is scheduled to rematch The Choi Institute’s 埃內斯托·奧尼拉斯 (3-7) in a battle of Portland fan-favorites. Langston and Ornelas initially met last month at “NEF 33” with Ornelas coming out on top via unanimous decision. Langston immediately requested a rematch blaming his performance on nerves surrounding his pro debut. Ornelas obliged and has promised to finish Langston this time out, leaving no room for question.

 

 

 

The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a pair of title fights. Undefeated Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) 前景 錦阿諾德 (3-0) 將面臨 邁克爾·克雷斯波 (3-3) of First Class MMA for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship. In the second title fight, 查爾斯·卡爾頓 (2-1) of the Charles Fighting Family and Berserkers MMA meets Duncan “The Highlander” 工匠 (2-2) of Evolution Athletix to crown a new NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Champion. Both fights are scheduled for five three-minute rounds – a first in the NEF amateur division as all previous title fights had been scheduled for three three-minute rounds.

 

 

 

Three women’s bouts will take place on the amateur card. Brianne Genschel (0-1) of First Class MMA and the Foundry will take on Tampa, 佛羅里達州 阿曼達·加洛 (1-1) while Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate 切爾西塔克 (0-2) faces the debuting 沃森的榮耀 (0-0) 年輕的MMA的, 和 Carol Linn Powell (0-1) 會見 Sarah Matulis (1-0) of the Outlet.

Reigning NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion “該” Ryan Sanders (15-9) 將面臨 Vince McGuiness (5-7) in a non-title bout at a fight weight of 155-pounds.

Ryan Sanders has had a storied career in the NEF cage. He competed in, 並榮獲, the main event of the very first NEF card in February 2012 over veteran Dan Keefe (7-3). Sanders fought on ten of the first fifteen NEF cards, including the company’s co-promotion with Bellator in the spring of 2013. After more than a two-year absence from NEF, Sanders returned to the promotion in August 2016 and went on a five-fight win-streak over the course of the next year – the longest streak of his career. During that stint, Sanders captured his first gold in NEF – the coveted professional lightweight title – with a victory over Jon Lemke (7-8) 上個春天. The bout with McGuiness will be Sanders’ first in the NEF cage since August 2017. He will be looking to bounce back from a loss in Massachusetts last month. Sanders is a longtime member of Bangor, Maine’s Young’s MMA fight team.

“I’m ecstatic to be back fighting for the NEF, it has been too long,” said Sanders. “I’m back to show the fans that I’m the best lightweight in the region, and that I’m on the road to be the best lightweight in the world. I really appreciate Vince taking this fight. I look forward to showing my improvements and the work that I’ve been putting in while away from the cage. I have great coaches, teammates, and an amazing wife in my corner that makes me truly feel unstoppable. Come watch me take another step towards my destiny on 六月 16 in Portland.”

布魯克林本地人, New York and current head coach of Bang Muay Thai in Tampa, 佛羅里達, Vince McGuiness is no stranger to the New England MMA scene. His two most recent fights have been in Massachusetts, and McGuiness has even competed previously on a Portland fight card in 2015. He will be looking to rebound against Sanders after losing his last four bouts in the cage.

“I’m excited to be back in New England fighting again,” said McGuiness. “I always get love up there. I’m ready to put on a scrap!”
