Efterlad en kommentar

Maine (August 7, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) afholder sin næste blandede kampsportbegivenhed, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” på September 8 på Cross Insurance Center i Bangor. Tidligere i dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight title fight to the card. Pat Kelly (4-0) is scheduled to defend his strap against the challenge of fellow undefeated MMA competitor Tim Manning (2-0).

The fight will be the final contest for the 53-year-old Kelly who began competing in MMA four years ago in his late 40s. He brought to the cage unmatched wrestling credentials earned through a lifetime on the mats. Kelly is nothing short of a legend in Maine wrestling circles. He won a state championship as a senior competing for the former Camden-Rockport High School. Kelly went on to wrestle for the University of Maine where he claimed a New England title and competed in the national NCAA championships. Senere, as a coach Kelly would lead Camden-Rockport and Camden Hills Regional High School to multiple state championships. Among the students he coached is current UFC star Tim Boetsch (21-11). Kelly was inducted into the Maine Wrestling Hall of Fame in 2007.

“I started this journey five years ago in Bangor with Young’s MMA,” said Kelly. “It is only fitting I have my farewell fight in the same great city. I am very grateful to NEF for the opportunity to fight in their cage and ultimately win an ammy title. For mig, age is simply a number. I have searched for tough and competitive challenges my entire career, and this fight is certainly another big challenge.”

For all his accomplishments in wrestling, Kelly’s time in the MMA cage has been impressive as well. He was able to finish his first three bouts on his way to earning a crack at the NEF Amateur Lightweight Championship. Last summer at “NEF 29,” Kelly handed then-undefeated Rafael Velado (4-1), an athlete fourteen years Kelly’s junior, the first loss of his career to claim the belt. Over a year later, Kelly promises to bring his trademark intensity to both his training camp at Young’s MMA and his final fight on September 8.

“I train hard, periode,” exclaimed Kelly. “And I am sure my opponent does the same thing, and that’s what it is all about – the willingness to prepare to win. Derudover, it is important for me to let coach Chris Young and Ernie Fitch know that I truly have appreciated them letting me become a part of the Young’s MMA family. To my teammates at Young’s and to all my fans – thanks for the ride… I have enjoyed you all.”

Kelly’s challenger on September 8, Tim Manning, is also undefeated. Fighting out of F2 Arena in Gainesville, Florida, Manning is nicknamed “Murder” for good reason. It took Manning a mere 37-seconds to submit his opponent with an armbar in his amateur debut last fall. He followed up that performance with another impressive first round submission earlier this year in his sophomore cage appearance.

NEF næste mixed-martial-arts begivenhed, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Lørdag, September 8, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Billetter er til salg nu på www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

UFC 183: Hvem vil dukke op?

Efterlad en kommentar

The Ultimate Fighting Championship har ramt det ud af parken så langt i 2015, med sine første to store kort af året lever op til den hype af deres vigtigste begivenheder. Lys sværvægter mester Jon Jones domineret Daniel Cormier at bevise, at han er den pund-for-pund bedste fighter i verden i UFC 182, og ved UFC live kort i Boston, Mass., i januar, Conor McGregor sikret en fjerlette titel skud mod José Aldo og spildte ingen tid at komme i hans næste modstanders ansigt.

Hvilket bringer os til UFC 183 i aften, og en main event, der betragtes som en drøm matchup af mange. Anderson Silva vender tilbage til Octagon efter lider en grufuld benskade i hans sidste kamp mod UFC mellemvægt mester Chris Weidman i 2013. Nick Diaz også gør hans tilbagevenden til UFC efter at miste sin sidste kamp mod den tidligere weltervægt mester Georges St. Pierre i 2013.

Aftens kort er ikke uden andre historier om. Et par væsentlige undercard kampe finder sted under nogle kontroverser, som fluevægt John Lineker kom i overvægt for sin kamp mod Ian McCall, som forventes at bestemme det næste ikke. 1 udfordrer til fluevægt titel. I co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum kom i 9 pounds overvægt for hans kamp mod Tyron Woodley, hvilke organer 30 procent af Gastelum kamp pung faktisk går til Woodley. Tal om spot til skade.

Selvfølgelig, er der altid wild card med Diaz også. Han spiller med sine egne regler, have no-viste de åbne træning tidligere i denne uge. Vil han faktisk møder op til buret til aftenens vigtigste begivenhed? Det er stadig uvist, selvom de fleste alle tror han vil.

Så, sagt alt,, Hvem skal jeg tror vinder i aften?

Miesha "Cupcake" Tate (15-5) vs. Sara McMann (8-1) (Kvinders bantamvægt - 135 lbs.)

Dette er faktisk den vigtigste begivenhed i det foreløbige kort på Fox Sports 1. Tate anmodet om at konkurrere på denne del af kortet i stedet for pay-per-view-kort, tager en side fra Urijah Fabers playbook. Tate er også ivrig for en tredje kamp med Ronda Rousey for kvindernes bantamvægt titel. Begge disse kvinder har lidt Rousey vrede, især McMann, der blev revet ned af Rousey i omkring et minut sidste år.

McMann er en ren wrestler med meget lidt andet at hendes repertoire, mens Tate bygget på hendes etablerede wrestling færdigheder til at blive en effektiv angriber. Jeg tror, ​​hun vil proppe McMann forsøg på at tage denne kamp til måtten og bruge hende langt overlegen slående færdigheder til at holde McMann omtåget på vej til en dominerende sejr.

Vinder: Tate ved enstemmig afgørelse

Jordan "Young Gun" Mein (29-9) vs. Thiago "Pitbull" Alves (25-9) (Weltervægt - 170 lbs.)

Alves har vekslet gevinster og tab i sine sidste seks kampe, mens Mein rider en to-kamp win streak. Alves er altid farligt med hans Muay Thai og slående, mens Mein landede en første runde TKO sejr i sin sidste kamp. Dette bør være en spændende stand-up kamp med hverken fyr villige til at give en tomme. Jeg tror Alves er den mere farlig fighter her, og vil lande et godt skud til at banke Mein fjollet.

Vinder: Alves efter anden runde TKO

Thales Leites (24-4) vs. Tim "The Barbarian" Boetsch (18-7) (Mellemvægt - 185 lbs.)

Leites comes into this fight on a roll, having won his last seven fights, with the last two coming by way of TKO. Boetsch has alternated wins and losses in his last four fights, including a TKO victory in his last fight against Brad Tavares.

Boetsch is a slow, plodding bruiser best known for derailing the Hector Lombard hype train when he first made his UFC debut. Leites is a crafty, dangerous fighter who can finish you with his hands or by submission. I think Leites will avoid Boetsch’s power and wait for Boetsch to make a mistake, where Leits will capitalize.

Vinder: Leites by third round submission

Joe Lauzon (24-10) vs. Al “Raging” Iaquinta (10-3-1) (Lightweight – 155 lbs.)

You know what you’re getting with a Joe Lauzon fight. You’re going to see an exciting, action packed bout that will most likely end with him locking in a slick submission or, in the case of his fight against Jim Miller, suffering a gnarly cut that will guarantee a blood battle.

Iaquinta has been on a roll since his time on The Ultimate Fighter Live, having only lost once in his last six fights. A win against Lauzon would be a real feather in his cap and might propel him into title contendership discussion. But Lauzon is one of the best submission specialists in the UFC, and I think the crafty veteran has another submission up his sleeve.

Vinder: Lauzon by second round submission

Tyron "The Chosen One" Woodley (14-3) vs. Kelvin Gastelum (11-0) (Weltervægt - 170 lbs.)

As mentioned above, Gastelum weighed in 9 pounds over for this fight and will forfeit 30 percent of his purse directly to Woodley. It was reported that Gastelum spent time in the hospital leading up to this fight, which contributed to him coming in overweight.

Woodley will be angry in this fight, and rightly so. It’s not fair that his opponent will have a weight advantage due to his own failure to do what he was supposed to do. Give Woodley credit for wanting to keep fighting when it would have been perfectly understandable to postpone it.

Woodley will channel his rage into a blitzkrieg of offense at Gastelum, and the lethargic and probably still-injured Gastelum will have no response.

Vinder: Woodley by second round TKO

Anderson "The Spider" Silva (33-6) vs. Nick Diaz (27-9-1) (Mellemvægt - 185 lbs.)

This is one of the several main events that have fight fans buzzing in 2015. Many didn’t think Silva would ever walk again after his leg injury against Weidman, let alone come back to the UFC to fight. The matchup style of Diaz wanting to push the pace, get in his opponent’s face and sucker him into trading blows against Silva’s unrivaled elusiveness will be interesting to watch.

Diaz said he wouldn’t trash talk Silva during this fight out of respect. But if Silva keeps bobbing and weaving and dodging Diaz’s punches, we’ll see how long Diaz commits to that. I think we’ll see vintage Silva in this fight, making Diaz look silly in some spots while landing well-timed strikes that will confuse and frustrate Diaz, which will allow Silva to land even more.

Diaz is too tough to finish, but this fight will show that Silva still has it and is the vastly superior fighter.

Vinder: Silva by unanimous decision
