ZA TAKOJŠNJO OBJAVO: Orono, Maine (Februar 28, 2020) - New England Fights (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. Dogodek, titled “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Že danes, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) bo obraz James Ploss (1-2) pri teži, boj za 125 funtov.

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, inUnderground.

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) v 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.”

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, vključno Omejiti v svetovnem Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

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, Bom končal Morrison in bom NEF lahka stvar prvak.”

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Samo ONE FIGHTER se je boril za vseh šest od teh promocij, ki so trenutno pod okriljem Zuffa. Da je borec? Jeff “Big Frog” Curran.

Curran konča svojo 19-mesečno upokojitev in vstopi osmerokotnika na RFA 24 na Petek, 6. marec na Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel in Prior Lake, Minnesota. Dogodek se bo na televiziji v živo in po vsej državi na AXS TV. Veteran bantamweight, Curran (36-16-1) bo preizkusite svoje vnema v so-glavni dogodek proti skokovita Melvin Blumer (11-2) ki je touting 5-boj win streak.

Pomisli nazaj v leto 1991… Kaj ste počeli? Dobro, Curran je s široko odprtimi očmi 14-letnik, ki je odločilo za vlak jiu-jitsu. Curran pojasnjuje, “Moj prvi razred, Naučil sem se nekaj, kar se imenuje "slikati besedo’ znan tudi kot Americana, in vedel sem, da je tisto, kar sem hotel storiti, in sem nadaljeval usposabljanje jiu-jitsu, odkar. Obdržal sem osredotočenost na sebi kot športnik in borec in ena stvar vodi vodi v drugo.”

Hitro naprej do avgusta 16, 2013 na RFA 9, Curran izgubil split odločitev v naslovni bantamweight boju proti Pedro Munhoz. “Sem se upokojil po moji zadnji boj v RFA. Sem borili za naslov svetovnega prvaka in bil v vseh večjih kažejo v športu in bil boj, takrat, za 17 let. Pravkar sem se počutil, da je z mojo poslovno in telovadnice, kjer sem bil na tej stopnji v mojem življenju, moji otroci in družina, Mislil sem, da je čas, da se upokojijo.”

Curran dodaja, “Vendar, predvsem, Nisem hotel, da bi drugi najboljši, Nikoli nisem želel biti v povprečju kot borec. Ko sem mislil, da je šla sanje ali priložnost je šla splezati nazaj na UFC, za boj najboljše fante na svetu, Čutil sem, da je najbolje, da se ustavi, ker je moja glavna vrsta opravil.”

Vendar, Po skrbni introspekcije in tli želja, da še naprej spopadov, Curran je odločilo za korak nazaj v kletko. “Sem želel zmagati v boju, osvojiti pas, in šel ven na vrhu. Čutil sem, da bi bilo resnično občudovanja način, da se upokojijo, vendar pa ni šel moj način. Tako sem se upokojil – in ni nikoli dobro sedel z mano,” Curran je pojasnil. “In več časa, da se je na, Čutila sem, da je treba boriti. Sem začel iskati priložnosti in RFA našel priložnost za mene, da spet boj. Torej, tukaj sem.”

Žongliranje vlogo kot družinski človek, poslovni človek, Trener, in morda borec bo glavo spin nekaterih ljudi, vendar Curran pojasnjuje, “Sem imel telovadnico, preden sem imel svoj prvi boj, tako da sem bil vedno uporablja za odgovornost razdelitvijo moj čas, zdaj pa je veliko bolj poglobljeno, kot je bilo nekoč, ker so moji bojevniki na različnih ravneh in zahtevajo več časa. Posel je tudi na drugačni ravni – in imam dva fanta, ki rastejo hitreje, iz dneva v dan in imam ženo. Tam je odgovornost na vseh področjih in to je več, kot je bilo Napovednik-moder kot zadnji, ko sem bila odprtju šole. Ja, to je veliko, da Manipulirati, ampak sem to naredil.”

Skozi vse svoje odgovornosti, Curran ohranja osredotočiti za njegov prihajajoči boj z nevarnim Melvin Blumer, “Njegov win streak govori obseg, zlasti v srednjem zahodu, ker so veliko fantov boriš precej podobna moč in spretnost niz, tako da boste dobili ostro konkurenco in lokalne promotorje v srednjem zahodu so vedno videti, da se na dobrih bojev. Fant, ki je 11-2 (Blumer) in na 5-boju win streak je impresivno, da me in to je točno to, kar si želim.”

Curran nadalje pojasnjuje, “Nočem se boriti nekaj bum ali boj nekoga, vem, da lahko premagati. Želim se boriti nekoga, ki mi lahko izpodbijajo in mi sporočite, če sem še vedno sodijo v igri ali pa mi pravi občutek dosežek, če zmagam, tako Blumer je velik nasprotnik. Blumer je težka. Sem mu dal dovolj spoštovanja usposobiti mojo rit in ga obravnavati kot top deset fanta. Ampak s tem pa je dejal, Vem, da sem top ten caliber, tako da sem prinaša vse, kar sem dobil, in mislim, da bo za dober boj.”

In kaj je Curran je naslednji korak z zmago? Tudi on ni prepričan,, “Ne vem, kaj je moja naslednja poteza je. Nisem za dokončno odločitev, en ali drug način. Če sem iskren, Vem, da ko sem izgubil, upokojitev ni dobro ujema z menoj, vendar s pravico zmago najverjetneje lahko, vendar istočasno s pravo zmago, Lahko dobim pozornost UFC in se odločiti, če želim, da lovi svoj prvi UFC zmago.”

On Petek, 6. marec, Curran in vsakdo gledal bo spraševala, kaj je “Big Žabji” Naslednji podvig v življenju ne bo.
