CONTROVERSIAL FIGHT WILL GET A REMATCH AT NEF 43 IN ORONO

Hapụ ikwu

Ozugbo tọhapụ: Orono, Maine (February 28, 2020) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF) will present its next mixed-martial-arts (Emmanuel) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. Ihe omume, titled “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, April 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) ga na-enwe James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 pound.

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, naThe Yeah.

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) na 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! April 18, we both test ourselves.”

Ozugbo tọhapụ: Lewiston, Maine (July 10, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na itoolu mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XIX,” na satọde, September 12, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisée na Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) ga-echebekwa ndị NEF Emmanuel Ọkachamara Featherweight Mbụ megide Vovk “KGB” Clay (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.

 

Morrison n'ijuanya na NEF eluigwe na ala a gara aga February mgbe ọ bịarutere na Lewiston na osụk n'obodo dike Ray Osisi (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, snowy n'abalị Lewiston.

 

“M na-ahụtụbeghị ihe dị ka na tupu,” sị NEF co-nwe na-akwalite 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, gụnyere a stint na World Oke Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 

“Enwere m nnọọ ekele laghachi ndị mara mma ala nke Maine, n'ihi na m na mbụ aha agbachitere,” 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.

 

“Ọ bụla fighter nwere nrọ nke na-eme ka ya na UFC,” said Clay. “Ụfọdụ na-ahọrọ na-aga mgbe efu utu aha na mpe mpe akwa ha ndia na-alụ ọgụ 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, M ga-agbacha ọsọ Morrison na m ga-NEF Featherweight onye mmeri.”

The vetiran bantamweight, Curran (36-16-1) ga-anwale ya mettle na ngalaba-isi omume megide n'ogbu Melvin Blumer (11-2) onye na-touting a 5-agha mmeri streak.

Chee echiche azụ na 1991… Gịnị ka unu na-eme? Ọfọn, Curran bụ a obosara-eyed afọ 14 ochie na kpebiri zụọ jiu-jitsu. Curran akọwa, “My mbụ na klas, Ihe m mụtara na-akpọ 'agba n'ala’ -mara dị ka ihe Americana na m maara na nke ahụ bụ ihe m chọrọ ime na m nnọọ aka iso ọzụzụ jiu-jitsu kemgbe.

Ngwa-ngwa-atụ August 16, 2013 na RFA 9, Curran furu efu a gbawara n'etiti mkpebi a bantamweight aha agha megide Pedro Munhoz. “M lara ezumike nká mgbe ikpeazụ m ọgụ na RFA.

M nnọọ chere na na azụmahịa m na mgbatị, ebe m nọ na ogbo ná ndụ m, m ụmụaka na ezinụlọ, Echere m na ọ bụ oge ịla ezumike nká.”

Curran agbakwụnye, “Ma, tumadi, Achọghị m na-abụọ kasị mma, Ọ dịghị mgbe m chọrọ ịbụ nkezi dị ka a fighter. Ozugbo m chere nrọ nọ na-arahụ ma ọ bụ ohere na-arahụ ịrị azụ ka UFC, na-alụ ọgụ ndị kasị mma ụmụ okorobịa na ụwa, M chere na ọ bụ ihe kasị mma na-akwụsị ebe m praịm nwere ụdị ebe.”

Otú ọ dị, mgbe anya introspection na smoldering ọchịchọ-anọgide na-alụ ọgụ, Curran kpebiri kwụpụ azụ n'ime onu. “M chọrọ imeri n'ọgụ, emeri belt, na-aga n'elu.

Ya mere, ebe m.”

Ụma ọrụ dị ka ezinụlọ nwoke, azụmahịa nwoke, nchịkwa, na fighter nwere ike ime ka ụfọdụ ndị isi atụ ogho, ma Curran akọwa, “M nwere m mgbatị tupu mbụ m agha, otú ahụ ka m mgbe niile na-eji ibu ọrụ nke kewara oge m, ma ugbu a ọ bụ a otutu ihe na-omimi karịa ka ọ na-eji na-n'ihi na m na mgbanyụ na ọkwa dị iche iche na-achọ oge.

Site niile ibu ọrụ ya, Curran ekwusi anya ya na-abịa ọgụ na ize ndụ Melvin Blumer, “Ya mmeri streak ekwu mpịakọta, karịsịa na Midwest n'ihi na a otutu nke ụmụ okorobịa gị na-alụ ọgụ ndị mara mma yiri ike na nkà set, otú ị ga-esi siri ike mpi na mpaghara na-akwalite na Midwest na-mgbe na-achọ na-etinye na ezi ọgụ. A Ihọd na 11-2 (Blumer) na a 5-agha mmeri streak bụ kemmasi m na ọ bụ kpọmkwem ihe m chọrọ.”
