MONTOYA STEPS UP TO FACE SANDERS ON SEPTEMBER 8 IN BANGOR

Залишити коментар

Бангор, Мен (Серпня 8, 2018) - New England Бої (NEF) проведе наступний захід із змішаних єдиноборств, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” на Вересень 8 у Крос-страховому центрі в Бангорі. Раніше сьогодні, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the card. “The” Ryan Sanders (16-9) зіткнеться Армандо “Big Chino” Montoya (10-6) в бій маси 170 фунтів.

The bout will be the third for Sanders in front of his hometown friends, family and fans. 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 Дана Уайт: Lookin’ for a Fight” and a submission of Jay Ellis (15-78) last year at the Cross. Загальний, 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” в Портленді, Мен.

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 Вересень 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. Montoya has fought for national promotions like King of the Cage and the Resurrection Fighting Alliance. Нещодавно, Montoya relocated to Maine where he trains with First Class MMA in Brunswick. The bout with Sanders will be his first fight back from a layoff that began in early 2017.

“I’m excited to be fighting again after a year and a half off,” said Montoya. “Thanks to NEF and Maine for the opportunity to be able to fight for an awesome promotion. Thanks to Sanders. It’s exciting to fight a worthy opponent in September. God is good, God bless us all!”

NeF в наступному змішаних бойових мистецтв подія, “NEF 35: Wicked Season,” will see the company make its return to the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Мен. The event is scheduled to take place Субота, Вересень 8, 2018 з часом дзвону 7 вечора. Квитки вже у продажу в www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

The main event will feature two rising East Coast prospects when Bangor, Maine’s own Аарон “Невпинний” Лейсі (5-1) meets Fayetteville, North Carolina’s Da’Mon “The Diamond” Blackshear (4-1) в напівлегкій бій.

LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION RETURNING TO NEF CAGE IN PORTLAND

Залишити коментар

Портленд, Мен (Квітня 26, 2018) - New England Бої (NEF) повертається до Аури в Портленді, Мен із наступною подією змішаних єдиноборств, “NEF 34: Будинок хоробрих,” в суботу ніч, Червень 16, 2018. Раніше сьогодні, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the card. Reigning NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion “The” Ryan Sanders (15-9) зіткнеться 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, і виграв, 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) last spring. 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 Червень 16 in Portland.”

A native of Brooklyn, New York and current head coach of Bang Muay Thai in Tampa, Флорида, 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!"
