ZA immediate release: Orono, Mejn (Februar 28, 2020) - New England Borbe (NEF) will present its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. Ovaj događaj, titled “NEF 43: Divljanje,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Ranije danas, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) će se suočiti James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 funti.

The bout will be a rematch of the first fight between Austin and Ploss that took place three years prior in April 2017 at “NEF 28.” Austin was declared the winner of that first contest, but not without controversy. Seconds into the first round, Ploss had a tight guillotine choke applied to Austin. Austin tapped out, but the referee was out of position to see the tap. Ploss released Austin from the hold, thinking he had won the fight. The referee, to Ploss’ bewilderment, ordered the fight to continue. As Ploss tried to make sense of the situation, Austin took him down and finished the fight moments later by technical knockout.

In the days that followed, many were critical of Austin on social media. The matter seemed to die down after a few days, only to be brought back to the forefront with a vengeance late last year when former UFC and WEC star Mike Brown (26-9) shared the clip on Twitter as an example of “fighting until the referee tells you to stop.” Suddenly, the fight received global attention from major online news sources likeBloody Elbow, MMA Junkie, The Athletic, iThe Underground.

The first fight with Ploss was Caleb Austin’s amateur MMA debut. He was 18-years-old at the time and still a senior at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Austin was a standout wrestler in high school, putting together a record of 208-11 over four years and winning state titles at 126 pounds his junior and senior years. He was named the 2017 “Wrestler of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal. After graduation, Austin continued his wrestling career at the University of Southern Maine, but he took the next two years off from MMA competition. He returned last summer and has won three fights in a row since he made his comeback. Austin currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) u Lewiston, Maine.

“I’m excited to finally be able to fight James again to gain some closure,” said Austin of the rematch with Ploss. “My MMA debut has haunted me since it happened almost three years ago. I’m thankful to James and his team for giving me this opportunity to get back in there with him. I’ve wanted this for a long time and I promise to make the most of the moment. When I exit the cage this time, it will be without question or controversy—it will end definitively.”

James Ploss went on to fight two more times in 2017 and has not competed since. He is a member of Greg Williams’ Team Kaze based in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Like Austin, Ploss will be looking for closure to the outcome of their first encounter.

“I’m grateful for a rematch with Caleb,” said Ploss. “Reflecting, I have pondered the question, ‘Am I better than Caleb or is he better than me?’ This is the perfect chance to find out—a second chance for us both to give it our all and see who comes out on top giving the fans, MMA community, and both of us the rematch we all want! 18. april, we both test ourselves.”

New England Borbe’ next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 43: Divljanje,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. Ulaznice su u prodaji na sadawww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.

Ranije danas, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Antonije “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) braniti NEF MMA Professional Featherweight Naslov protiv Vovk “KGB” Glina (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.

 

Morrison je zapanjio NEF univerzum prošlog februara, kada je stigao u Lewiston i dostaviti rodni grad heroj Ray Wood (5-1) in the fifth round to win the championship title. It was as if he had sucked all the air out of the Colisée with a vacuum. Morrison played the role of spoiler that cold, snežnu noć u Lewiston.

 

“Nikad nisam vidio ovako nešto,” rekao je NEF suvlasnik i promoter Nick DiSalvo. “The entire place just dropped into a dead silence. I don’t think anyone in Maine saw that coming, and I certainly don’t think anyone who’s followed NEF expected a fighter to come in and do that to Ray Wood. Everyone was shocked. It was a surreal moment.”

 

Morrison is a seasoned veteran with more than a decade’s experience in the sport. He has competed against the best MMA has to offer on the national stage, uključujući i mandata u World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pensilvanija.

 

“Ja sam vrlo zahvalan da se vrate u prekrasnom stanju Maine, za moju prvu titulu odbranu,” said Morrison. “It will be a very entertaining fight and another victory for the five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Mixed martial arts champion, Anthony Morrison.”

 

Vovka Clay is undefeated as a professional. He competed as an amateur twice in NEF and won both fights by submission in an impressive fashion. Clay is considered one of the true rising stars of the New England fight scene. A win over an accomplished veteran like Morrison could potentially propel Clay onto the national stage. He is a product of Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire.

 

“Svaki borac ima san što ga u UFC,” said Clay. “Neki odluče da idu nakon besmislene zvanja i pad njihove evidencije bore nikogovici. I choose to fight the highest level of competition possible. I am thrilled to be fighting Anthony Morrison for the NEF Featherweight title. He is a very durable and crafty veteran. To neće biti lako, but if I fight my fight, Ja ću završiti Morrison i ja ću biti NEF Featherweight prvaka.”

JEFF CURRAN: Ne zovi IT povratak!

RFA 24 U Minesoti

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Samo jedan FIGHTER se bori za svih šest od ovih promocije koji su trenutno pod okriljem Zuffa. To borac? Džef “Big Frog” Curran.

Curran završava njegov 19-mjesečni penziju i ulazi u oktagon na RFA 24 na Petak, 6 mart u Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel u Prior Lake, Minesota. Ovaj događaj će biti na televiziji uživo i zemlje na AXS TV. The veteran bantam, Curran (36-16-1) će testirati svoju hrabrost u co-main event protiv nadiru Melvin Blumer (11-2) koji je kojima se hvali 5-win borba niz.

Razmislite natrag u 1991… Što ste radili? Dobro, Curran bio širom otvorenih očiju 14-godišnji koji je odlučio da treniram jiu jitsu-. Objašnjava Curran, “Moj prvi razred, Naučio sam nešto što se zove 'slikam podu’ također poznat kao Americana i znao sam da je to ono što sam htio da radim i ja samo nastavio obuku jiu jitsu-otkako. I zadržao fokus na sebe kao sportaš i borac i jedna stvar vodi vodi u drugu.”

Fast-forward do avgusta 16, 2013 na RFA 9, Curran je izgubio split odluku u naslovu bantam borbi protiv Pedro Munhoz. “I u penziji nakon moje posljednje borbe u RFA. Borio sam se za svjetski naslov i bili u svakom većem show u sportu i bili borbama, u to vrijeme, za 17 godina. Samo sam smatrao da sa svojim poslovnim i teretana, gdje sam ja bio u toj fazi u životu, moju djecu i porodicu, Mislio sam da je vrijeme da se povuče.”

Curran dodaje, “Ali, uglavnom, Nisam htio da bude drugi najbolji, Nikada nisam želio biti prosječna kao borac. Jednom sam osjetio san je nestao ili je prilika otišla da se popne natrag u UFC, da se bore protiv najboljih ljudi na svijetu, Osjetio sam da je najbolje da se zaustavi, jer moj primarni je vrsta prošlo.”

Međutim, nakon pažljivog introspekcije i tinjanje želju da nastavi borbu, Curran odlučili na korak nazad u kavez. “Hteo sam da dobijem borbu, osvojiti pojas, i izaći na vrhu. Osjetio sam da će biti pravi način divljenja u mirovinu, ali to ne ide moj način. Tako da sam u penziji – i nikada dobro sat sa mnom,” Objasnio Curran. “I više vremena, koji su trajali, Osjetio sam potrebu da se borim. Počeo sam tražiti mogućnosti i RFA našao priliku za mene da se ponovo boriti. Dakle, ovdje sam.”

Žongliranje uloge kao obiteljski čovjek, poslovni čovjek, trener, i borac možda napraviti neke ljudi se zavrti u glavi, ali objašnjava Curran, “Imao sam teretanu prije nego što sam imao moj prvi borbu, tako da sam uvijek koristi za odgovornost puca mi vremena, ali sada je puno dublja nego što je to nekada bilo jer su moji borci su na različitim nivoima i zahtijevaju više vremena. Posao je također na različitim nivoima – i imam dva sina koji rastu brže od dana i imam moju ženu. Tu je odgovornost preko odbora i to je više nego što je bilo raspored-mudar nego kad sam otvaranja škole. Da, to je dosta da žongliraju, ali ja to radim.”

Kroz sve svoje odgovornosti, Curran održava fokusirati zbog predstojeće borbe s opasnim Melvin Blumer, “Njegov win streak govori, posebno u Midwest jer dosta momaka li se boriti su prilično slični u snagu i vještine set, tako da se oštroj konkurenciji i lokalnih promoteri na srednjem zapadu su uvijek u potrazi za staviti na dobrom tuče. A tip koji je 11-2 (Blumer) i na 5-win borba niz je impresivan za mene i to je upravo ono što želim.”

Curran objašnjava dalje, “Ne želim da se borim nekih bum ili se boriti nekoga Znam da ne mogu pobediti. Želim se boriti nekoga da me ne može osporiti i pusti me da znam da li sam još uvijek pripadam u igri ili me pravo smislu ostvarenja ako pobedim, tako Blumer je veliki protivnik. Blumer je teška. Dajem mu dovoljno poštovanja da trenira moje dupe i tretirati ga kao top deset tip. Ali, s tim što je rekao, Znam da sam top deset kalibra, pa sam donosi sve što imam i mislim da će za dobru borbu.”

A ono što je sljedeći korak Curran s pobjedom? Čak i da nije siguran, “Ne znam kakav je moj sledeći potez je. Nisam napraviti definitivna odluka jedan ili drugi način. Da budem iskren, Znam kad sam izgubio, penzionisanja nije dobro uklapa sa mnom, ali s pravom osvojiti ga najvjerojatnije mogao, ali u isto vrijeme s pravom win, Ne mogu dobiti pažnju UFC i odlučiti ako želim da jure moj prvi UFC pobjede.”

Na Petak, 6 mart, Curran i svi su gledali će se pitati šta “Big Frog-a” pored venture u životu će biti.
