GRIMARD AND VASTA SET TO GO PRO AT NEF 46

ZA immediate release: Portland, Mejn (Novembar 30, 2021) - New England Borbe (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) događaj, "NEF 46: Decenija dominacije,” on Saturday, Februar 12, 2022, u Auri u Portlandu, Maine. Događaj će obilježiti desetogodišnjicu NEF-a. Vodeća regionalna promocija pokrenuta je u februaru 11, 2012. Ranije danas, NEF je najavio dodavanje profesionalnog okršaja u prvoj kategoriji. Bivši NEF amaterski prvak u poluteškoj kategorijiNathaniel Grimard (0-0) planirano je da preuzmeAnthony Just (0-0) na borbu težine od 145 funti.

Nathaniel Grimard je debitovao u NEF MMA u septembru 2019 u “NEF 40: Škola teških udaraca.” Te noći, Grimard je podnio Justina Kangasa (0-3) preko armbara u prvoj rundi. Tokom karantene pandemije, Grimard se dva puta takmičio na Floridi i popravio svoj rekord na 3-0. Njegov neporaženi rekord postavio je Grimarda u izazov za tada upražnjeno NEF prvenstvo u poluteškoj kategoriji. U avgustu, Grimard je zaustavio Brandona Maillet-Fevensa (3-2) u drugom krugu na “NEF 44: Back in Black” da postane nosilac titule od 145 funti. Grimard se odmah vratio u kavez u “NEF-u 45: Ustanak” da odbrani svoju traku od Bilija Vilsona (7-1) iz čuvenog Jackson Wink MMA kampa u Novom Meksiku. Grimard je izgubio teškom odlukom u pet rundi koja je učinila Wilsona novim šampionom. Sada, Grimard pritisne prekidač za resetovanje dok planira da postane profesionalac protiv pridošlice NEF-a, Anthony Just. Grimard predstavlja Nostos MMA Somerswortha, New Hampshire gdje trenira pod UFC i Bellator veteranom, i bivši NEF profesionalni prvak u lakoj kategoriji, Devin Powell (10-5).

“Ne mogu zamisliti bolji način da započnem svoju profesionalnu karijeru nego na čestitki za 10. godišnjicu NEF-a,“, naveo je Grimard. “Imam velike ciljeve za sebe i spreman sam da se suočim sa bilo kim na putu. Nemam ništa osim poštovanja prema Vasti i njegovim borilačkim vještinama, ali nikad nisam bio fokusiraniji.”

Anthony Vasta će također imati svoj profesionalni debi na NEF-u 46. Vasta i Grimard su debitovali u MMA amaterima u razmaku od nekoliko mjeseci. Vasta i Grimard imaju još jednu zajedničku vezu, pošto su se oboje takmičili na istoj karti na Floridi tokom pandemije. Vast mora 1-1 amaterski rekord i trenira na Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy u Wakefieldu, Masačusets.

“Biti u mogućnosti da napravim svoj profesionalni debi protiv još jednog borca ​​Nove Engleske u usponu kojeg poštujem je uzbudljivo,“, naveo je Vasta. “Vrijeme je da napravim sljedeći korak u karijeri, stavim svoje veštine na test, i iskoristi priliku. Moj stil je zaista neortodoksan i za njega se teško pripremiti. Planiram izaći tamo i odigrati dominantan učinak protiv još jednog teškog izgleda ove divizije.”

"NEF 46: Decenija dominacije” održava se u subotu, Februar 12, 2022, u Auri u Portlandu, Maine. Događaj će obilježiti desetogodišnjicu NEF-a. Vrata se otvaraju u 6 pm sa prvom borbom u 7 pm. Karte su sada u prodaji nawww.Ticketmaster.com

CHAMP PROTIV BIVŠEG ŠAMPIONA SET ZA BORBU ZA TITULU U mušoj kategoriji 12. FEBRUARA

ZA immediate release: Portland, Mejn (Novembar 26, 2021) - New England Borbe (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) događaj, "NEF 46: Decenija dominacije,” on Saturday, Februar 12, 2022, u Auri u Portlandu, Maine. Događaj će obilježiti desetogodišnjicu NEF-a. Vodeća regionalna promocija pokrenuta je u februaru 11, 2012. Ranije danas, NEF je najavio dodavanje borbe za amatersko prvenstvo na kartu borbe. NEF šampion u mušoj kategorijiTyler Smythe (3-1) treba da odbrani titulu protiv bivšeg NEF šampiona u mušoj kategorijiRyan "Gordo" Burgess (3-2) pri težini borbe od 125 funti.

Tyler Smythe je zabilježio svoju treću MMA pobjedu i osvojio željeno NEF zlato u tom procesu kada je nedavno zaustavio dosad neporaženog kandidata u mušoj kategoriji Caleba “Dr.. Feelgood” Austin (5-1) in a “Fight of the Night” performance at “NEF 45: Uprising.” Down on the scorecards but not discouraged, Smythe waged a come-from-behind victory to earn the technical knockout (WHO) stoppage over Austin in the final second of the fourth round of their championship bout. Never one to slow down, Smythe, who is trained by Nate Libby out of Evolution Athletix in Saco, Mejn, is anxious to make an immediate turnaround and defend his title against a former NEF Champion.

“From bell to bell, every round, I’ll be going at this kid like he owes me money,” Smythe stated. “I want a quick finish. Ryan doesn’t deserve to be in that cage with me. February 12th, I’ll show why I’m the NEF flyweight champ.”

Ryanu Burgessu nisu stranci šampionski izazovi. Poreklom iz Rumforda, Mejn, Burgess je jedan od samo četiri strunjača u srednjoj školi Mountain Valley koji su ikada osvojili trostruku državnu krunu u rvanju. Skupio je nevjerovatnu 151-23 ukupni srednjoškolski rekord prije diplomiranja i usmjeravanje pažnje na mješovite borilačke vještine. Burgess je brzo stekao ime u MMA kada je u novembru osvojio NEF prvenstvo u mušoj kategoriji 2015 sa podijeljenom odlukom glavom prema tadašnjem šampionu Dustinu Veinottu (5-4). Kada se Burgess posljednji put takmičio, pokazao je opasan brazilski jiu-jitsu (BJJ) igra s leđa u pobjedi Natea Bouchera (0-1) u žestokom rivalstvu rodnog grada. Burgess, ljubičasti pojas za BJJ, trenira pod Jasonom "JB" Bellom i bori se iz Bell's Famoso BJJ.

„Izuzetno sam uzbuđen što se vraćam u emisiju povodom 10 godina NEF-a,” Burgess stated. “It’s been a long time coming for me to return to the cage and I can’t think of a more perfect scenario than coming back and regaining my flyweight title with a finish over Smythe. It’s been three years since I’ve competed, but my coach, Jason Bell, and I have been putting in work behind the scenes. I can’t wait to showcase my skills and put on a show for the fans.

“Smythe seems like a tough opponent, and it was no easy feat for him to defeat Caleb Austin for the belt,” Burgess continued. “With that being said, I see many holes in his game that I plan to exploit come February 12th. I hope he’s not expecting the same fighter he’s watching in the three-plus-year-old film he’s researching to better understand me. Mentally and skillfully, I am a far superior fighter compared to my previous bouts and only my training partners actually know the weapons I’ll be bringing into that cage to get the job done. Smythe may rethink his entire pursuit of a professional MMA career when I’m finished with him. The pressure I’m going to bring would melt any of these amateur flyweights in New England and come February they will all be on notice.”

"NEF 46: Decenija dominacije” održava se u subotu, Februar 12, 2022, u Auri u Portlandu, Maine. Događaj će obilježiti desetogodišnjicu NEF-a. Vrata se otvaraju u 6 pm sa prvom borbom u 7 pm. Karte su sada u prodaji nawww.Ticketmaster.com

ZA immediate release: Portland, Mejn (Septembar 21, 2021) - New England Borbe (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) događaj, "NEF 45: Uprising,” on Friday, Novembar 5, 2021, u Auri u Portlandu, Maine. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the fight card. Reigning NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionNathaniel Grimard(4-0) will defend his belt againstBilly Wilson (6-1).

Since his debut in September 2019, undefeated Nathaniel Grimard has emerged as one of the top amateur prospects on the New England MMA circuit. Grimard submitted Justin Kangas (0-3) in the first round at “NEF 40” in Orono, Maine. During the Covid-19 pandemic, and the resulting shutdown of combat sports events in the northeast region, Grimard kept himself active by taking fights in Florida where he was victorious twice. Last month at “NEF 44” he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title with an impressive second-round technical knockout of Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2).  Grimard predstavlja Nostos MMA Somerswortha, New Hampshire gdje trenira pod UFC i Bellator veteranom, i bivši NEF profesionalni prvak u lakoj kategoriji, Devin Powell (10-5).

“I’m very excited to fight in Portland against my toughest opponent yet,” said Grimard. “Billy comes from a very credible gym with a little more experience than me, but that’s what motivates and excites me about this fight. I believe this will be a great fight, and I’m expecting to put on my best performance to date.”

Billy “The Kid” Wilson comes to Maine as the challenger on November 5thOf his six victories, Wilson holds four finishes with three technical knockouts and one submission. He has actively competed in the sport since summer 2017. Wilson currently represents Jackson Wink based in Albuquerque, New Mexico – a world-renowned MMA training academy whose roster reads like a “who’s who” of UFC champions and legends like Jon Jones (26-1) and Holly Holm (33-2-3) just to name a few.

“I’m very blessed to have the opportunity to go out and travel to a whole new area to compete,” said Wilson when reached for comment.  “I had just switched my camps to Jackson Wink, and I think the fans will see a whole new fighter.”

The event, titled “NEF 43: Divljanje,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT.Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) is scheduled to defend the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title that evening against the challenge ofDevin Corson(3-1).  They will meet at the lightweight championship limit of 155 pounds in a bout scheduled for five three-minute rounds.

Richard won the then-vacant championship last November in Portland, Maine with a unanimous decision victory over “Magic” Mike Murray (3-2).  He is no stranger to titles, having won a Maine State Championship wrestling for Massabesic High School in Waterboro in 2015. The win capped a tremendous sophomore year in the cage for Richard as the follow-up to his 2018 “Rookie of the Year” season. The last time Richard fought on the stage of the Collins Center, u rujnu 2019, he scored a vicious slam knockout of Erik Tainter (0-2).  The slam has become a signature move for Richard over the course of his young career. He is a product of Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC veteran and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (10-4).

Speaking of slams, there may be no athlete who has ever delivered more highlight-reel slams in the NEF cage than the challenger Devin Corson. Like Richard, Corson brings a strong wrestling base with him to the MMA game, having been a standout competitor on the mats for Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Corson is currently riding a two-fight win-streak with unanimous decision wins over both Jacob Deppmeyer (sada 1-0 kao pro) and Taylor Bartlett (2-3-1) in 2019. He represents the Outlet based in Dexter, Mejn.

“I don’t think much about Zac besides he is in my way,” stated Corson. “He’s the man I have to defeat to get the 155 belt. After all is said and done, I will be the one with my hand raised.”

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. Tickets will be on sale this week atwww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.

HEAVYWEIGHTS PREPARE FOR WAR AT NEF 27

 

Lewiston, Mejn (Decembar 7, 2016) -Nova England Borbe (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Februar 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Ranije danas, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional contest to the card. RasRasquatchHylton (0-0) će njegov profesionalni debi protiv Mikrofon “Brkove” Hansen (5-4) u teškoj kategoriji.

 

Hylton’s now-legendary rise through the ranks of the amateur heavyweight division in NEF is one of the major stories of 2016. At 6’6and towering over the top of the MMA cage, Hylton cuts an imposing figure. The only thing more impressive than Hylton’s size and appearance might be his athletic abilities. A prolific striker, Hylton finished all three of his opponents this year by either knockout or technical knockout.

 

Rasquatch,” or as some fans call himThe Jamaican Shamrock,” really began to raise eyebrows with a highlight-reel head kick knockout of Matt Glover (1-1) last spring. Onda, prošlog mjeseca na “NEF 26,Hylton pounded an extremely tough Kevin Smith (3-3) to a bloody pulp. It was immediately after that dominant performance that Hylton’s coaches at First Class MMA and Dragon Fire Martial Arts felt the time was right for him to make the jump to the pro ranks.

 

I am so grateful to be fighting a man of Mike Hansen’s stature in front of my family and friends,” said Hylton. “As the first professional fighter to come out of both Dragon Fire Martial Arts and First Class MMA, and with the instruction of Shihan Andy Campbell, Jovan “First Class” Raio and my team, we are preparing for me to go to war because that is what Mike always brings to the cage.

 

A former Maine state heavyweight wrestling champion out of Mountain Valley High School, Mike Hansen has never shied away from taking a fight with someone bigger than him. Zapravo, Hansen, who also competes in the light-heavyweight and middleweight divisions, has gained a reputation as somewhat of agiant killer.

 

Ranije ove godine, Hansen submitted a substantially bigger Jesse Baughman (0-2) in the first round atNEF 22.He followed up that impressive performance by nearly knocking out a much larger Brendan Battles (1-1) with a right hand atNEF 23.This fall Hansen gave up nearly half a foot to Matt Andrikut (2-1) and submitted his bigger opponent in the first round. Doista, Hylton’s size advantage will play little role in the outcome of this fight should Hansen have anything to say about it.

 

“Ja sam super uzbuđen za ovu borbu,” exclaimed Hansen. “I like being part of these ‘super fights.I know Ras has a great camp behind him and he will come 100% prepared. I’ll expect nothing less from Raio, but I feel my experience and composure in the cage will be my best asset and that’s not something that he can train up on u 10 weeks. February 11th we will go to war, so expect just that.
