MATT GLOVER FINDS FUTURE IN FIGHTING AFTER FOOTBALL

Lewiston, Mejn (April 22, 2016) – During the years 2003-2006, Matt Glover (1-0) Bio u player from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine that you did ne want to end up facing from the other side of the pigskin. Standing over six feet tall and weighing 250-pounds, the nightmarish middle linebacker helped to build Mountain Valley (MV) into a modern day football dynasty by punishing ball carriers for four decorated years and leading MV to two state championships in the process. He bench pressed over 400 pounds in the weight room and was hell on wheels on the field making him a powerful two-way double-threat player on both offense and defense. His reputation is legendary in the River Valley area of Western Maine as a feared and respected athlete.

 

After graduating from Mountain Valley in 2007, Glover left football behind to go to work. He married his longtime girlfriend, Lindsey, and had a son. They bought a home together. Throughout the summer and fall seasons, he traveled the agricultural fair circuit in Maine with his pulling horses, a family tradition he had been brought up in from an early age.

 

“My family has been competing in horse pulling since I was a kid,” Glover explained. “It takes up a lot of time and it keeps my dad young. I get up early every morning to exercise my horse teams before I go into work at night. Between my dad, my wife and I, we have 11 draft horses. We bale our own hay for all of them. I love backing them up to the drag and watching them dig.”

 

But despite the fullness of his life, the call of competition still beckoned to him and left him with a sense of longing. “I would have killed to have had that same feeling again,” Glover recalled. “And then I stepped into the cage.”

 

Početkom 2015, Matt’s younger brother, Ryan—another Mountain Valley football standout—made his mixed martial arts (MMA) debut at “NEF 16.” Ryan swarmed his opponent in his first fight and stopped him in a blistering 12 sekundi. Matt was in attendance that night and found his curiosity piqued at the prospect of competing in a different kind of contact sport.

 

Later in 2015, Ryan competed for the inaugural NEF Amateur Heavyweight Championship. He dropped a decision that night to current title holder, Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1). Nakon pobjede, the trash talk quickly escalated between Leahy and members of Berserkers MMA, based out of Rumford and led by head coaches Gary Dolloff and Mike Hansen (3-3). “When Billy Leahy called out all of the guys at Berserkers after he beat my brother, then it was game-on,” recalled Matt.

 

Matt began training closely with members of the Berserkers coaching staff, including Hansen and others, who he credits for his accelerated learning curve in the sport. Dodatno, Matt sparred extensively with brother Ryan, who was preparing for a fight of his own on the same night that Matt was scheduled to make his MMA debut. “My brother and I are not like other brothers,” Matt explained. “We go into the gym and beat the hell out of each other and then ride home in the same truck—that’s just how we have always been. Push, push, push—everything is competition with us. From the first one to get to the next hay bale in the hay field to the first one to get to the supper table—it’s just how we operate.”

 

“Matt’s a real competitive person,” his wife, Lindsey, confirmed. “Everything is a competition with him. I knew that cagefighting would feed that competitive hunger that he feels all the time when he’s not pulling his horses.”

 

Matt officially made his MMA debut back in February at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS” against durable veteran Gravin Guillen (2-5). Matt exceeded debut expectations by finishing Guillen in just 1:30 of the first round by technical knockout (WHO). When the ref cleared the scene, Guillen’s face showed the effects of Glover’s record-breaking exploits in the weight room. Glover’s Rumford fans that were in attendance in heavy numbers that night, voiced their approval in thunderous applause. “At first, I had butterflies,” Glover remembered, “but once I heard all the people cheering, all it did was pump me up. I was ready to fight. Dobiti ili izgubiti, I knew they had my back and more.”

 

This weekend, Glover is poised to make his second appearance in the NEF cage when he takes on 6’6” Ras Hylton (1-0) from rival gym, First Class MMA. Hylton made his debut on the same night as Glover and, like his challenger this weekend, made quick work of his opponent by earning a TKO victory at 1:21 od prvog kruga.

 

Berserkers MMA Founder and Head Coach, Mike Hansen, predicts a dominant night for Glover. “Matt happens to be much stronger than he even appears, which is incredible if you have ever seen him,” Hansen stated. “A guy of his size normally struggles with agility, but Matt doesn’t. He is a super athlete and easy to coach. Matt improves daily and will be a juggernaut in the heavyweight amateur division.

 

“Ras is used to being the bigger guy in all of his fights. That will not be the case on Saturday night. Matt will put his hands on Hylton in a way he’s never been touched before. I don’t see Ras walking away from this fight with his hand held high. He should consider it a win if he can walk away at all when Matt’s done with him.”

 

Going into Subota noć, Glover feels well prepared to continue building on his success in the sport of MMA that he started to create back in February. If his athletic history is any indicator, he should be confident in the future. “I’m ready for this fight,” Glover stated. “In this fight, I’m more relaxed because my brother’s not fighting and I can just focus on my fight… After that first win, I knew I was hooked because there’s no better feeling.”

 

“When people first started speaking to Matt about competing in MMA, I was completely against it 110%,” Lindsey stated. “But after watching him train so hard with the guys in the gym and seeing that he has the same passion for that as he does for his horse pulling, I felt more at ease and decided that if this was something he wanted to pursue, I would support him in any way that I possibly could.

 

“The Glover brothers fighting in MMA is a big thing for Rumford,” Lindsey stated in closing. “Every time it’s getting close to fight night, this town comes alive. No matter where he goes within the sport, this town and his family support him.”

BAMFORD & GULLIVER: A FIRST CLASS FRIENDSHIP FORGED THROUGH FIRE

Lewiston, Mejn (April 21, 2016) – Bryce Bamford (1-0) and Nick Gulliver (2-0) share a bond that was built by spilling blood and sweat together in Brazilian Jit Jitsu gyms across Maine and New England. When they enter the NEF cage together u subotu night in Lewiston at “NEF 22: Svi putevi vode OVDJE,” it will be the culmination of a combat sports friendship that goes back almost a decade.

 

“Let’s just call him ‘The Hulk,’ since he is a machine on the ground and strong as an ox,” Gulliver, a police officer by trade, joked when asked about his gym partner and confidant, Bamford. “’The Hulk’ and I have been training together for a long time… He is a one of a kind training partner. If I look at him and say that I need help with something, he will help me in any way that he can. He has everything you want in a training partner and a friend. He is a great guy and I’m so happy I can train with someone like Bryce.”

 

Bamford and Gulliver first met several years ago at Fitness Styles, originally located in Livermore Falls, Mejn. “It was more just ‘go and punch each other’ and it was a little wild,” Gulliver recalled. Soon after, Bamford moved his training over to The Foundry in Farmington, Maine where he began focusing on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in earnest. Before long, Bamford recruited Gulliver to join him at The Foundry where the two have remained loyal training partners. “Best thing I could have done,’ Gulliver stated. “I’ve been training with Bryce ever since.”

 

Prošle godine, Gulliver, who currently holds the rank of purple belt in BJJ, began cross-training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham and returned the favor to Bamford by pulling him over to Raio’s gym where the two began supplementing their BJJ studies with rigorous mixed martial arts (MMA) trening. Immediately finding that the sport was a fit for both of them, Gulliver was the first to test his MMA skills in the NEF cage. He made his debut last June at “NEF 18: MADE IN AMERICA” and finished Ora Spratt (0-2) submission u prvom kolu.

 

“One of the most memorable moments that I have of Bryce was after my first MMA fight,” Gulliver recalled. “Bryce came down to speak with me and he congratulated me on my first win. I looked at him and thanked him for all the help that he has given me over the past few years. Then I said to him: ‘Now it’s your turn.’ He looked at me and shook his head. I could tell he was hooked at that moment. But he said, ‘My mom came and watched you and loved it, but I don’t think she can handle watching me fight.’ I laughed because I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he would be in the cage fighting next to me.”

 

Gulliver was right.

 

Bamford, 40, a dedicated father and family man, runs a slasher at Palletone in Livermore Falls during his day job. The soft spoken, yet charismatic heavyweight currently holds the rank of Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As complimentary as Gulliver is of him, Bamford equally values Gulliver’s work ethic and the deep bond that the two share. “When Nick sets a goal, he doesn’t stop until he gets there,” Bamford stated. “He is relentless.”

 

After witnessing Gulliver’s stellar debut in the NEF hexagon, Bamford felt the itch to follow his friend’s lead and challenge himself in the ultimate proving ground. “I blame Nick for the fact that I am stepping into the cage and not sitting up in the stands drinking cold beer with everyone else,” laughed Bamford.

 

Bamford made his NEF debut in November 2015 at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.” He needed only 19 seconds to stop his opponent that night.

 

“Bryce is 40 godina star, but that number means nothing—just ask anyone who has grabbed ahold of him,” Gulliver stated. “If he would have got involved in this sport 20 prije mnogo godina, no one would have touched him if he was training the way he trains today. He’s the first guy in the gym and the last guy out. That is why his age means nothing. He has heart and a lot of it. I respect a guy with the outlook on life like Bryce Bamford has. He can teach us all something.”

 

This weekend, Bamford and Gulliver are set to take to the cage again. Bamford is scheduled to face a man ten years younger than him in Joe Krech (0-1) and Gulliver is set to take on his biggest challenge to date when he faces former multiple-time state champion wrestler Dave Smith (2-1) from Beserkers MMA in Rumford, Mejn.

 

“’All Roads Lead Here’ is a title so fitting for a story like the one between Bryce and I,” Gulliver stated. “Every day we have been training—every time we make each other bleed or sweat or tired—it all leads up to 23. aprila. This is why we push each other—for opportunities like this.”

 

Leading into this weekend’s blockbuster event, there are strong rumors that this could be Bamford’s last MMA fight. At 40-years old and with a loving wife and child at home, there are other interests that the camping and motorcyclist enthusiast is passionate to pursue. If NEF 22 is in fact the last time that the two storied training partners take to the cage together, they intend to capitalize on the opportunity to solidify their martial arts history with a pair of wins u subotu.

 

"U 20 godina from now, I can see Bryce and I talking about this fight, drinking a beer,” Gulliver stated in closing. “We won’t talk about how much work we put into the fight, or how many hours we trained, or how many times we kicked each other’s asses—but we will talk about the fun time we had in that moment. Some things in life, you don’t forget. Times like this upcoming weekend are one of those moments. I’m glad I can share that with Bryce.”

Hyannis, Masačusets (April 8, 2016) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, will bring Cape Cod its first sanctioned mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event this spring. Ovaj događaj, pod nazivom “NEF 23: CAGE THE CAPE,” will take place on Maj 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC) in Hyannis, Masačusets. Both professional and amateur MMA bouts will be presented that evening. Ranije danas, NEF announced the first amateur bout on the fight card. Ryan “Razzle Dazzle” Kane (4-3) će se sastati Dustin Veinott (4-4) in a three-round amateur flyweight bout at a fight weight of 125-pounds.

 

At age eighteen, Ryan Kane burst onto the New England MMA scene in early 2014. And while eighteen may seem like an early start, Kane had already established himself in combat sports at a younger age. U 2011, and then again in 2012, Kane medaled in the World Pankration Championships in Greece. The Plymouth, Massachusetts-native trains with Team Juniko and Sityodtong. Kane will be looking to rebound from a first-round loss in his last MMA bout earlier this year.

 

“I train with the best to become the best,” said Kane when reached for comment. “I will outclass Dustin anywhere this fight goes. If he’s judging me from my last fight, he’s in for a very long night. I promise you I’m hungrier than ever and I’m ready to eat.

 

Dustin Veinott began his amateur MMA career at 0-3. Refusing to give up, Veinott came roaring back, winning his next four in a row. U junu 2015, he captured the NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Title, losing it later that year to Ryan Burgess (2-0) in a very close split decision on the judges’ scorecards. Veinott trains at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) u Lewiston, Mejn. Borbe na Maj 14 will be Veinott’s first outside of his home state of Maine.

 

“Losing the title has made me more determined than I have ever been – especially after the way I lost the belt,” said Veinott of the split-decision loss to Burgess. “I’m eager to step up in competition and get into the cage with someone who trains at the level that he trains. Razzle Dazzle is very well-rounded, but I don’t think anyone has seen me at my full potential. I truly hope he doesn’t underestimate me. I have trained very hard for this fight and I am ready to showcase the things I have been working on. I will show up prepared and ready for a war!”

NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP

ZA immediate release: Lewiston, Mejn (April 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. New England Borbe (NEF) Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (13-8) took to Facebook to notify his fans that he had vacated the title belt. Some speculated that it could be an April Fools’ vic, but those rumors were later quelled when Boyington himself stated under the thread that his decision had been made for personal and medical reasons, citing recent surgeries and a host of longstanding injuries.

 

“After one of the most inspirational and exhilarating rides of my life, I have talked with my wife, my coaching staff and teammates and have decided it’s now time to let go of one chapter and turn the page for another,” Boyington stated when reached for official comment. “NEF has been there for me since the start and I couldn’t ask for a better group to get me where I want to go. I like the thought of vacating the belt on top and handing it off to one of my teammates, hopefully Josh Harvey (0-0) and I will be excited to watch a couple other lightweight warriors going after the strap. Obviously Jon Lemke has quite a claim to that shot and I see my friend Jesse Erickson in the mix as well. Whatever should happen, I will always cherish every battle I’ve had in the NEF cage. Thank you sincerely to Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo.”

 

NEF executives acted quickly and formulated a plan by ponoć to fill the title that sits atop the fight promotion’s most hotly contested professional division. As a new day dawned, that plan had come to fruition.

 

Bruce was a great champion,” rekao je NEF suvlasnik i promoter Nick DiSalvo. “He was the face of this promotion for two years. The 155-pound title is our most coveted championship and there is no shortage of worthy challengers. The decision to fill it as soon as possible was an easy one to make.

 

Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) i Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: Svi putevi vode OVDJE” to crown a new champion. The bout was already signed as a non-title three-rounder to headline the MMA portion of the 23. aprila fight card in Lewiston, Mejn. Both athletes quickly agreed to go five rounds with the title on the line. Both athletes have each won their last three fights in a row respectively.

 

I am honored to be able to fight for the title which I saw Bruce Boyington recently defend against Jon Lemke (5-4) in the best local fight I’ve ever gotten to see,” said Powell. “I hope Jesse and I can put on a show for the fans that can be talked about for years to come. I’ve been training too hard and too long to not hop on this opportunity. I can’t wait to get in that cage 23. aprilain front of an always amped up NEF crowd!”

 

Speaking of Lemke, NEF executives placed one condition on the upcoming Erickson-Powell bout – the winner must make his first defense of the lightweight title against Lemke. Lemke lost a very close split decision in an attempt to claim the title from Boyington earlier this year. That fight has been calledthe greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cageby many observers.

 

Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21was nothing short of epic. I was completely spellbound watching that fight for the full 25-minutes it was contested. It’s a bittersweet time at NEF. Bruce was a great fighting champion and despite the high stakes every time he stepped into the cage, he was always one of the most active competitors on the NEF roster. Bruce’s warrior spirit and memorable performances in the NEF cage will be dearly missed, but we are fortunate to have so many superb athletes waiting in the wings right behind him to fill that void. There will be no shortage of upcoming action in the NEF lightweight division.

 

“It was a privilege and honor to fight Bruce for the lightweight title,” stated Lemke when reached for comment. “After the fight, I was pretty confident I did enough to win. Sada, after watching the fight numerous times, there is no doubt in my mind that I won that fight. If Bruce doesn’t want to fight me again and vacate his belt, I understand and respect that decision. Međutim, I am hungrier than ever and want what I believe is rightfully mine. It would be an honor to fight the winner of Erickson versus Powell for the title and I very much look forward to it.”

 

The 23. aprila bout will be Jesse Erickson’s third attempt to capture the lightweight title. He had competed against Boyington twice previously unsuccessfully for the championship.

 

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to compete once again for the NEF lightweight title,” stated Erickson. “I was embarrassed postponing my first fight with Devin due to injury, but it seems everything happens for a reason. To bleed for gold and glory. My Viking ancestors would be proud. Give me the battle I crave, Devin. Victory or Valhalla!”

Bobica, jedan od najpopularnijih boksera koji je ikada izašao iz Mainea, će tražiti svoju četvrtu uzastopnu pobjedu od povratka nakon povrede ramena prošle godine.

 

To će se pokazati lakše reći nego učiniti s Lesterom koji stoji u suprotnom uglu. Lester je proizvod svjetski poznatog Kronk Gyma u Detroitu gdje su svjetski prvaci poput Thomasa “Plaćeni ubica” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 KOs), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs) i Vladimir Kličko (64-4, 53 KOs) trenirao je kod pokojnog Emmanuela Stewarda. Lester je kao amater bio rangiran kao drugi na nacionalnom nivou. On predstavlja opasnu prijetnju Berryju, onaj koji bi vrlo dobro mogao igrati ulogu “spojler” u “Top” i njegova legija obožavatelja.

 

Nakon krvavog rata profesionalnog boksačkog debija u “NEF 21” prošlog mjeseca, NEF MMA redovno Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) ponovo će zakoračiti u bokserski ring, ovaj put suočavanje Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 KOs). Montella, sada stanovnik Massachusettsa, odrastao je u Maineu i služio je u marinskom korpusu Sjedinjenih Država.

 

Profesionalni MMA dio borbene karte bit će naslovni Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (6-4) i Devin Powell (5-1) u lakoj konkurenciji. Oba borca ​​trenutno su u nizu od tri pobjede.

 

„Pokušavam da se fokusiram na ono što je ispred mene,” rekao je Erickson tokom nedavnog intervjua na Podcast MMA Report. “Nikada nisam gledao dalje od svojih protivnika, ali volim da razmišljam kakva će biti nagrada kada pobedim ovog momka.”

 

Nijedan sportista ne može sebi priuštiti da previdi onog drugog, ali pobjeda za bilo koje drugo bi mogla značiti poziv iz jedne od nacionalnih promocija. Erickson je već bio tamo sa Bellatorom. Powell je svestrani talenat sa nekoliko sjajnih završnica.

 

“Ovo je vrsta MMA borbe koju apsolutno volimo,” rekao je NEF suvlasnik i promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Imate dva tipa koji se tako dobro slažu. Obojica su nizali pobjede. Suočili su se sa nekim od istih protivnika. Oboje su čvrsti na strunjači i na nogama. Očekujem da će ovo biti još jedno ludilo, divlji NEF MMA glavni događaj!”

 

“Ludo” i “divlji” nemojte ni početi da opisujete ljutnju koja se razvila između Zadirkivati “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) i Matt “Ken Doll” Denning (2-1). Ogorčeni rivali će se sastati u borbi od 150 funti “NEF 22” u MMA meču. Meč će biti Harveyjev profesionalni debi nakon zvijezde 5-1 amaterskom karijerom u kojoj je osvojio NEF MMA amatersku titulu u lakoj kategoriji, kao i sjeveroistočne regije broj jedan na ljestvici. Dobro objavljeni lični problemi između Harveya i Denninga bit će riješeni u kavezu 23. aprila.

 

Profesionalni dio MMA kartice također će sadržavati profesionalni debi Harvey's Youngovog MMA timskog kolege Aaron “Nemilosrdan” Lacey (0-0) pošto preuzima veterana “Nerasprskavajuće 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) u pero borbe. Lacey je napustila NEF MMA amatersku titulu u poluteškoj kategoriji kako bi postala profesionalka.

 

Ta titula neće dugo ostati prazna Caleb Hall (6-3) i Eric Nelson (2-2) suočiti se kako bi odredili novog šampiona na vrhu amaterske MMA karte. Hall dolazi s pobjedom u prvom krugu submissionom na “NEF XX” prošle jeseni, dok je Nelson nedavno postigao jednoglasnu pobjedu na “NEF 21.”

 

Amaterska MMA karta će sadržavati i žensku borbu Angela Young(0-1) i “Holivud” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young i Sparrell su debitovali prošle godine u “NEF XIX.”

He is hungry for his first victory as a professional boxer.

 

I want to thank NEF for another opportunity to fight,” Said Parker. “I have a lot to prove. My skills have not been reflected in my past few performances. I’ve switched up some aspects of my training and I’m confident that I will finally be able to bring the real me to the ring. I will be facing an experienced opponent who will present some tough challenges for mewhich is exactly what I wanted. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced is myself, and now that I’ve figured him out, it doesn’t matter who’s standing in front of me.

 

A veteran of more than twenty professional fights, Evincii Dixon has been one of the northeast’s most active boxers since his debut in the summer of 2013. Dixon, who calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania his home, often fights multiple times in a given month in places as far away as Texas, California and, Posljednje, Ohajo. He made the 500-mile trek to Lewiston, Maine last month, picking up a win in the NEF ring against Antonio Chaves Fernandez (7-26-3). Dixon will be looking to get back in the win column at “NEF 22” after a loss last weekend.

Crni pojas VRAĆA U akciju na NEF 22 U LEWISTON

Lewiston, Mejn (Mart 24, 2016) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, će održati svoj sljedeći događaj, “NEF 22: Svi putevi vode OVDJE” na Subota, April 23, 2016 na Androscoggin banke Colisée u Lewiston, Mejn. Borbena karta će sadržavati mješavinu mješovitih borilačkih vještina (MMA) i profesionalni bokserski mečevi. Ranije danas, NEF najavio dodatak profesionalnog velter borba na VMA dio “NEF 22” borba kartica. Jarod “Last Minute” Lawton (4-2) vraća u NEF kavez da se suoči Aaron Aschendorf (2-2) na borbu težine od 170 funti.

 

Jedan od prave zvijezde NEF roster, Jarod Lawton prošle pojavio za promociju prije godinu dana na “NEF 17.” That night, Lawton lost a split decision to Bellator veteran Dennis Olson (14-11) nakon tri runde brutalnog, physical battle. It was Lawton’s first loss in the cage u tri godine.

 

Lawton ima crni pojas u brazilskom Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Along with his wife, Marcela Sorentina Lawton, on je suvlasnik tima Lawton Martial Arts i inovativnih Atletika – tim New England United (NEW) affiliate sjedištem u Farmingdale, Mejn. With a reputation for pulling out late-fight submission victories, Lawton says that he will be looking for the finish against Aschendorf on April 23.

 

“Ja sam naporno radi na poboljšanju svoje igre,” Said Lawton. “I am in the best shape of my life and excited to be fighting again. I don’t know much about Aaron, but I’m always prepping to fight tough opponents and put on very exciting fights. I will be hunting for the finish as always.

 

Aaron Aschendorf je član Atlantic Beach Combat Club zasnovan od Atlantic Beach, Florida. He began actively competing in the sport of MMA in 2004. After a four year break, Aschendorf vratio u kavez prošle jeseni za House of Fame VMA u Jacksonville, Florida. He is clear that he plans on coming in aggressive against Lawton when he makes the trip to Maine next month.

 

“Sve što mogu reći o ovoj borbi je da sam te noći ostavljajući sve u kavezu,” said Aschendorf. “I’m going to fight hard and aggressive. Jarod bolje biti spreman za rat, because I’m not holding anything back.
