Kite yon kòmantè

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Orono, Maine (Fevriye 28, 2020) - New England Goumen (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. Evènman an, titled “NEF 43: Sakaje,” will take place on Saturday, Avril 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) ap fè fas a James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 liv.

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, akUnderground nan.

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) nan 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! Avril 18th, we both test ourselves.”

New England Goumen’ next mixed-martial-arts event, “Nef 43: Sakaje,” will take place on Saturday, Avril 18, 2020, at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. Biyè yo se sou vant kounye a nanwww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.

POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Jiyè 10, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) ap defann Tit la nef mma Pwofesyonèl Plum kont Vovk “Kgb” Clay (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.

 

Morrison etoudi mesye linivè a nef sa a sot pase mwa fevriye lè li te rive nan Lewiston epi soumèt vil ewo 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, lanèj lannwit nan Lewiston.

 

“Mwen pat janm wè yon bagay tankou sa anvan,” said NEF co-owner and 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, ki gen ladan yon misyonè nan Mondyal Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 

“Mwen trè rekonesan pou li retounen nan eta a bèl nan Maine, pou premye defans tit mwen an,” 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.

 

“Chak avyon de gè te gen yon rèv la fè li nan ch la,” said Clay. “Gen kèk chwazi yo ale apre tit san sans ak pad dosye yo goumen Nobodies. 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. It won’t be easy, but if I fight my fight, Mwen pral fini Morrison ak mwen yo pral nef Plum Champion la.”

JEFF CURRAN: Pa rele li yon reaparisyon!

VANDREDI MARCH 6TH Ap viv sou BEARINGS AXS televizyon

BY K. David Bena

Ch, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Sèlman gen yon sèl avyon de gè goumen pou tout sis nan pwomosyon sa yo ki kounye a anba parapli a Zuffa. Sa avyon de gè? Jeff “Big krapo” Curran.

Curran fini pran retrèt 19-mwa l ', li antre nan oktagòn lan nan RFA 24 sou Vandredi, Mas 6th nan Mystic Lake Casino la & Hotel nan Anvan Lake, Minnesota. Ap evènman an ap televize ap viv ak tout peyi sou BEARINGS AXS televizyon. Bantamweight nan veteran, Curran (36-16-1) pral teste kouraj l 'nan evènman an ko-prensipal kont torantueu Melvin Blumer la (11-2) ki moun ki touting yon 5-batay genyen tras.

Panse tounen nan 1991… Ki sa ou te fè? Oke, Curran te yon lajè-Peas 14-ane fin vye granmoun ki te deside nan tren jyu-jitsu. Curran eksplike, “Premye klas mwen, Mwen te aprann yon bagay yo rele 'penti etaj la’ tou li te ye kòm yon Americana ak mwen te konnen sa a, se sa m 'te vle fè ak mwen jis kontinye fòmasyon jyu-jitsu depi tout tan. Mwen te kenbe konsantre sou tèt mwen tankou yon atlèt ak yon avyon de gè ak yon sèl bagay kenbe ki mennen ale nan yon lòt.”

Vit-pou pi devan pou Out 16, 2013 nan RFA 9, Curran pèdi yon desizyon fann nan yon batay tit bantamweight kont Pedro Munhoz. “Mwen pran retrèt apre batay dènye mwen an RFA a. Mwen te goumen pou yon tit nan lemonn ak gen nan chak pi gwo montre nan espò a ak te goumen, nan tan sa a, pou 17 ane. Mwen jis te santi ke ak biznis mwen an ak jimnastik la, kote mwen te nan ki etap nan lavi m ', timoun mwen ak fanmi, Mwen te panse ke li te tan yo pran retrèt ou.”

Curran ajoute, “Men,, sitou, Mwen pa t 'vle yo dwe dezyèm pi bon, Mwen pa janm te vle fè mwayèn kòm yon avyon de gè. Yon fwa mwen te santi menm rèv la ale oswa te opòtinite a ale nan monte tounen nan ch la, al goumen mesye yo pi byen nan mond lan, Mwen te santi m li te pi bon yo sispann depi pwemye mwen kalite pase.”

Sepandan, apre atansyon enteryorite ak dezi a an dife yo kontinye batay, Curran deside etap tounen nan kalòj la. “Mwen te vle genyen batay la, genyen senti a, epi ale soti sou tèt. Mwen te santi m li ta yon reyèl fason admirab nan pran retrèt ou, men li pa t 'ale wout mwen. Se konsa, mwen pran retrèt – epi li pa janm chita byen avè m ',” Curran eksplike. “Ak tan an plis ki te ale nan, Mwen te santi m bezwen nan goumen. Mwen te kòmanse gade pou opòtinite ak RFA jwenn yon opòtinite pou m 'al goumen ankò. Se konsa, isit la mwen menm.”

Jungle wòl tankou yon moun k'ap fanmi, nonm biznis, antrenè, ak avyon de gè ta ka fè kèk moun nan tèt vire, men Curran eksplike, “Mwen te gen jimnastik mwen anvan m 'te gen batay premye mwen, Se konsa, mwen te toujou itilize yo responsablite nan divize tan mwen, men kounye a li nan yon anpil plis nan pwofondè-pase sa li itilize yo dwe paske konbatan mwen yo nan diferan nivo epi mande pou plis tan. Biznis se tou sou yon nivo diferan – epi mwen te gen de ti gason ki yo ap grandi pi vit pa jou a ak mwen gen madanm mwen. Genyen responsablite atravè Komisyon Konsèy la ak li nan plis pase sa li te orè-ki gen bon konprann pase tounen lè mwen te louvri yon lekòl. Yeah, li nan yon anpil nan Jungle, men mwen fè li.”

Atravè tout responsablite li, Curran kenbe konsantre pou batay kap vini li yo ak danjere Melvin Blumer la, “Genyen li tras pale komèsan, espesyalman nan Midwès la paske yon anpil nan mesye yo ou goumen yo trè menm jan an nan fòs ak konpetans seri, konsa ou jwenn konpetisyon difisil ak pwomotè lokal yo nan Midwès la toujou ap chèche mete yo sou bon batay. Yon nèg ki se 11-2 (Blumer) ak sou yon 5-batay genyen tras se enpresyonan m 'ak li nan ekzakteman ki sa mwen vle.”

Curran eksplike pi lwen, “Mwen pa vle goumen kèk bom oswa goumen yon moun mwen konnen mwen ka bat. Mwen vle goumen yon moun ki ka defi m 'ak kite m' konnen si mwen toujou fè pati nan jwèt la oswa ban m 'sans nan dwa nan akonplisman si mwen genyen, se konsa Blumer nan yon opozan gwo. Blumer se difisil. Mwen ba l 'ase respè nan tren manman bourik mwen an koupe ak trete l' tankou yon dis tèt nèg. Men, avèk ki yo te di, Mwen konnen mwen se dis tèt kalib, se konsa mwen pote tout bagay mwen te resevwa e mwen panse li pral fè pou batay la byen.”

Ak sa ki se pwochen etap Curran a ak yon viktwa? Menm se li ki pa sèten, “Mwen pa konnen sa deplase pwochen mwen an se. Mwen pa t 'fè yon definitif desizyon yon sèl fason oubyen yon lòt. Yo dwe onèt, Mwen konnen lè m 'pèdi, pou pran retrèt pa t 'anfòm byen avè m', men ak dwat a genyen li gen plis chans te kapab, men an menm tan an ak genyen nan dwa, Mwen ka jwenn atansyon a nan ch la epi deside si mwen vle kouri dèyè premye ch viktwa m 'yo.”

Sou Vandredi, Mas 6th, Curran ak ap gade tout moun ap mande sa ki nan “Big krapo la” antrepriz pwochen nan lavi yo pral.
