CONTROVERSIAL FIGHT WILL GET A REMATCH AT NEF 43 IN ORONO

Acha maoni

Kwa haraka RELEASE: Orono, Maine (Februari 28, 2020) - New England mapambano (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. tukio, titled “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, Aprili 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Mapema leo, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) atakabiliwa James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 paundi.

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, naUnderground.

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) katika 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! Aprili 18, we both test ourselves.”

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Moja tu ya FIGHTER walipigana kwa ajili ya yote sita ya promotions haya ambayo kwa sasa ni chini ya mwavuli Zuffa. Mpiganaji? Jeff “Big Frog” Curran.

Curran mwisho 19 miezi yake ya kustaafu na kuingia pembenane katika RFA 24 juu ya Ijumaa, Machi 6 katika Mystic Lake Casino & Hoteli katika Kabla ya Ziwa, Minnesota. tukio itakuwa televisheni kuishi na nchi nzima katika AXS TV. bantamweight mkongwe, Curran (36-16-1) mtihani mettle yake katika ushirikiano kuu tukio dhidi ya kuongezeka kwa Melvin Blumer (11-2) ambaye ni touting 5-kupambana na kushinda streak.

Fikiria nyuma hadi 1991… Ulikuwa unafanya nini? Naam, Curran ilikuwa upana-eyed 14 mwenye umri wa miaka kwamba aliamua kutoa mafunzo kwa jiu-jitsu. Curran anaelezea, “Darasa yangu ya kwanza, Mimi kujifunza kitu kinachoitwa 'rangi ya sakafu’ pia inajulikana kama Americana na nilijua kwamba ni nini nilitaka kufanya na mimi tu kuendelea mafunzo jiu-jitsu tangu. Mimi naendelea lengo la mwenyewe kama mwanamichezo na mpiganaji na jambo moja naendelea kuongoza na mwingine.”

Fast-mbele hadi Agosti 16, 2013 katika RFA 9, Curran waliopotea uamuzi kupasuliwa katika cheo bantamweight mapambano dhidi ya Pedro Munhoz. “Mimi alistaafu baada ya kupambana yangu ya mwisho katika RFA. Nimekuwa vita kwa cheo dunia na wamekuwa katika kila show kubwa katika michezo na imekuwa mapigano, wakati huo, kwa 17 miaka. Mimi tu waliona kwamba pamoja na biashara yangu na mazoezi, ambapo mimi nilikuwa katika kwamba hatua katika maisha yangu, watoto wangu na familia, Nilidhani kwamba ni wakati wa kustaafu.”

Curran anaongeza, “Lakini, hasa, Sikutaka kuwa bora ya pili, Mimi kamwe alitaka kuwa wastani kama mpiganaji. Mara nilihisi ndoto limekwisha au nafasi ameondoka kupanda nyuma UFC, kupambana guys bora katika dunia, Mimi waliona ni bora kuacha tangu mkuu wangu aina ya kupita.”

Hata hivyo, baada ya kujichunguza kwa makini na smoldering hamu ya kuendelea mapigano, Curran aliamua kurudi nyuma katika ngome. “Nilitaka kushinda vita, kushinda ukanda, na kwenda nje juu. Nilihisi itakuwa halisi njia admirable kustaafu, lakini hakuwa na kwenda njia yangu. Hivyo mimi wastaafu – na kamwe ameketi vizuri na mimi,” Curran alielezea. “Na muda zaidi kwamba aliendelea, Nilihisi haja ya kupambana na. Nilianza kuangalia fursa na RFA kupatikana nafasi kwa ajili yangu kupigana tena. Hivyo hapa mimi.”

Mauzauza majukumu kama mtu wa familia, biashara ya mtu, kocha, na mpiganaji wanaweza kufanya baadhi ya watu kichwa spin, lakini Curran anaelezea, “Mimi nilikuwa mazoezi yangu kabla nilikuwa na mapambano yangu ya kwanza, hivyo mimi mara zote kutumika jukumu la kugawa muda wangu, lakini sasa ni mengi zaidi katika kina-kuliko kutumika kuwa kwa sababu wapiganaji wangu ni katika ngazi mbalimbali na kuhitaji muda zaidi. Biashara pia katika ngazi mbalimbali – na mimi kuwa wavulana wawili kuwa ni kukua kwa kasi kwa siku na nina mke wangu. Kuna wajibu katika bodi na ni zaidi kuliko ilivyokuwa ratiba-busara kuliko ya nyuma wakati mimi nilikuwa kufungua shule. Yeah, ni mengi juggle, lakini mimi kufanya hivyo.”

Kupitia majukumu yake yote, Curran inao kuzingatia kwa mapambano yake ujao na hatari Melvin Blumer, “Ushindi wake streak inaelezea, hasa katika Midwest kwa sababu mengi ya guys wewe kupambana ni pretty sawa katika nguvu na ujuzi seti, ili kupata ushindani mgumu na promoters mitaa katika Midwest ni daima kuangalia kuweka kwenye mapambano nzuri. guy kwamba ni 11-2 (Blumer) na 5-kupambana na kushinda streak ni kuvutia kwangu na ni nini hasa nataka.”

Curran anaelezea zaidi, “Sitaki kupambana na baadhi bum au kupigana mtu Najua naweza kuwapiga. Nataka kupambana mtu kwamba unaweza changamoto kwangu na napenda kujua kama bado ni katika mchezo au nipe hisia haki ya accomplishment kama mimi kushinda, hivyo Blumer ni mpinzani mkubwa. Blumer ni mgumu. Mimi kumpa heshima ya kutosha kutoa mafunzo kwa punda wangu mbali na kutibu yake kama juu kumi guy. Lakini pamoja na kwamba kuwa alisema, Najua mimi nina juu kumi caliber, hivyo mimi nina kuleta kila kitu I got na nadhani ni kufanya kwa ajili ya vita vizuri.”

Na nini Curran ijayo hatua na ushindi? Hata yeye si uhakika, “Sijui nini hoja yangu ya pili ni. Sikuweza kufanya uhakika njia uamuzi moja au nyingine. Kwa kuwa waaminifu, Najua wakati mimi waliopotea, kustaafu hakuwa fit vizuri na mimi, lakini pamoja na haki kushinda zaidi uwezekano inaweza, lakini wakati huo huo na kushinda haki, Siwezi kupata mawazo ya UFC na kuamua kama nataka kwenda baada ya UFC ushindi yangu ya kwanza.”

On Ijumaa, Machi 6, Curran na kila mtu kuangalia itakuwa anashangaa “Big Frog ya” mradi wa pili katika maisha itakuwa.
