PRESSMEDDELANDE: Lewiston, Maine (December 6, 2016) -Nya England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Februari 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Tidigare idag, the fight promotion announced the first amateur fight confirmed for the card. Henry Clark (3-2) är planerad att möta Alex Clark (3-2) vid en catchweight av 140-pounds.

 

Henry Clark fights out of the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine. With wins over the likes of Sheldon Bang (2-2) and Fred Lear (4-2), Henry earned a shot at the NEF Amateur Bantamweight Title earlier this year. The finish of the bout was mired in controversy as Henry contended that the referee stoppage resulting in a technical knockout victory for Johnny Crafts (4-1) was actually the result of an illegal eye poke suffered by Clark.

 

“I’m coming into to this fight with an iron will and a desire for violence,” declared Henry Clark. “After my last loss, I can guarantee it will not go that way for me again. I’m the best 135-pounder in Maine, and I’m here to prove that. After I take what I want from Alex, there’s only one place for me to go and that’s a championship fight. I look forward to facing the challenges Alex will bring.”

 

Alex Clark is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Maine. He recently returned to the NEF cage after an extended leave of nearly three years from active competition. Vid “NEF 26” förra månaden, Alex lost a hard-fought battle against Florida’s Shawn Lunghi (2-0). He will be looking to bounce back from that loss at “NEF 27,” and he promises an exciting contest for fight fans.

 

“I’m super excited about this fight,” said Alex Clark. “Henry is a tough guy with absolutely no quit in him. He’s not afraid to stand and exchange and has good BJJ to back it up. This is an awesome matchup between a couple of strong willed warriors, but I think my strength and athleticism is going to be the difference. Styles make fights and there’s no doubt that this one will be a crowd pleaser.”

 

NEF’s next event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE” sker på Lördag, Februari 11, 2017 vid 7 p.m. Biljetter börjar på $25 och finns det erbjudanden nu på www.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisee biljettkassan på 207.783.2009, extension 525.

Harvey is a former NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

“I’m training for the fight I want, and this opponent is just one more step closer to where I am going,” said Harvey of the upcoming bout with Collingham. “Wishing him a healthy training camp and that he shows up.”

 

When Richie Collingham steps foot in the NEF cage on Februari 11 it will have been nearly a decade since his last fight. Now training out of Lakes Region Vale Tudo in New Hampshire, Collingham has not actively competed since 2007. He was very active on the California MMA circuit at that time and put together a string of submission victories.

 

“I’m very excited about stepping into the cage with a tough fighter like Josh Harvey and fighting for NEF and putting on a good show for everyone,” said Collingham. “I’m putting in hard work and February 11th can’t come soon enough.”

The seventh annual “Operation Knockout,” held this past Nov. 19th på Downtown Las Vegas Events Center, was created to help Randy Couture’s G.I. Foundation raise funds and awareness for wounded soldiers and their families.
Denna spännande, unique charity event featured a night of amazing fights and a fabulous silent auction that featured gloves signed by Randy Couture, Luke Rockhold, Miesha Tate och Gray Maynard, tickets to Criss Angel, Rock of Ages och Legends in Concert, and many more items. There was something for everyone with nine amateur MMA fights, four of which were for title belts, and six super-fight grappling bouts featuring Bellator’s Ryan Couture, ex-UFC fighter Ulysses Gomez and current UFC fighter Anthony Birchak, former Bellator fighter and active military, Michael Parker, former Lion Fight fighter Fanny Tommasino, and current Combate Americas fighter and former Tuff-N-Uff fighter, Kyra Batara.
Veteran MMA announcers Sean Wheelock, Joey Varner and living legend Couture called all the action live from ringside.
“Tuff-N-Uff is honored to have a hand in helping to raise funds for and bring awareness to our brave service members who have sacrificed so much for our great country,” Tuff-N-Uff CEO Jeff Meyer sa. “Any little bit helps and the least we could do was put together a fight card with the Future Stars of MMA, as well as some big names in MMA who participated.

Xtreme Couture G.I. Stiftelsen ger nödvändigt stöd och tjänster för sårade soldater och deras familjer, varav många återvänder med traumatiska amputationer, skottskador, brännskador och blast skador.

“I can’t tell you how thankful I am for the support from Tuff-N-Uf, Downtown Las Vegas Events Center and the D Las Vegas of ‘Round 7, Operation Knockout’ and wounded veterans through xcgif.org,” Couture commented. “We at XCGIF appreciate your help and support of this cause.
“We train our warriors to suppress strong emotional reactions in the face of adversity, to tolerate physical and emotional pain, and overcome the fear of injury and death. The military can’t decrease the intensity of that conditioning without negatively affecting the fighting capability of our military. It is a Catch-22. A chilling truth is service members are, simply put, more capable of killing themselves by sheer consequence of their professional training and we are losing 22 a day. This must change. We need to retrain our warriors on what defines success for them.”
“It’s going to be a great night of fighting and grappling. Thank you all for your contributions.”

2016 VM i MMA i november 26-27 i Macao

Lämna en kommentar

Monte Carlo, Monaco (Oktober 28, 2016)- World Mixed Martial Arts Association (WMMAA) president Vadim Finkelchtein har formellt meddelat att 2016 Världsmästerskap i MMA kommer att hållas November 26-27 i Macao, Kina.
“De senaste europeiska MMA-mästerskapen gick mycket bra,” Sa Finkelchtein. “Det ryska landslaget visade återigen de högsta tävlingsresultaten. I Ryssland, kämparna är riktigt starka krigare, som upprepade gånger bevisar sin högsta nivå vid EM och VM, vinna en mycket svår tävling. Baren har ställts betydligt högt. Vi har sett idrottare från Tyskland, Ukraina, och Vitryssland deltar vid dessa evenemang. Ukrainare är inte längre så långt efter ryssarna och tyska krigare har blivit mycket starkare på relativt kort tid. Förutom The Championships, vi höll ett rättsligt seminarium, där vi diskuterade många viktiga frågor om utvecklingen av vår sport. Övergripande, Jag tycker att allt var fantastiskt.
“Vi ser fram emot världsmästerskapet i MMA i Macau November 26-27. Vi förväntar oss att idrottare ska delta 40 till 50 länder runt om i världen. Många har redan ansökt; trots det långa avståndet måste de resa för att slåss. Världsmästerskapet i MMA kommer att hållas på en ny plats i Macao Studio City. Detta är en enorm, nytt komplex som är helt täckt av marmor och byggkostnaderna når cirka $3 miljard. Jag har granskat det och byggnadens omfattning är fantastisk.
“Nu, vi kan säga att mästerskapet kommer att ha många representanter från Latinamerika, Asien och Ochurope. Den afrikanska regionen är underutvecklad just nu, så bara ett fåtal länder deltar därifrån, men Australien och Nya Zeeland tävlar. Vi förväntar oss spektakulära, konkurrenskraftiga slagsmål. Vi kommer också att arrangera nästa WMMAA-kongress, där många MMA-frågor i förhållande till barn och kvinnor kommer att diskuteras. Vi kommer att bestämma vilka länder som kommer att vara värd för Ochuropean, Asiatiska och MMA-VM nästa år, samt skapa en rättslig kommitté. Vi kommer att diskutera tiden för det obligatoriska referensdatumet för varje land, med tanke på alla idrottare, och fixa det sedan. Vi kommer att lösa frågan om att hålla seminarier som är obligatoriska för tränare, domare och medicinska specialister i varje land. Vi är fortfarande en relativt ung organisation, så det finns fortfarande brister. Men vi går framåt och arbetar hårt för att förbättra.”

(L-R) – WMMAA Argentina president Diego Fernandez &
WMMAA Pan-American Division president Tomas Yu
Monte Carlo, Monaco (Oktober 27, 2016)- The future of the new World MMA Association (WMMAA) Argentina is bright with unlimited opportunities for future growth, largely due to Argentina’s youths continuing to drive increased consumption of healthier lifestyles.
FAAMM, the Argentinean MMA Federation, restructured its organization under the leadership of president Diego Fernandez to earn WMMAA Pan-American Division’s fastest growing federation to date.
“One of my main objectives was to share the organization’s (FAAMA) story with the government and the private sector community to bring its competitive advantages to light,” Fernandez explained in an interview with ENLACE. “I also leveraged the WMMAA skills and resources to help guide the due diligence and restructing to emerge with the proudly earned name, WMMAA ARGENTINA.
“Transforming the organization from an association to a federation and now known to the world as WMMAA Argentina was the largest progressive step we’ve completed to date in the organization’s history. The business model as the new WMMAA Argentina is very straightforward: our job to help our nation’s athletes.”
The new Argentina has a prominent footprint with many qualified board members. The new WMMAA Argentina is well positioned to offer customized solutions that drive increased value, developed from a mere structure provider into a services and solutions organization for the sport in all aspects.
WMMAA Argentina has solid reporting, industry-leading analytics and repeatable methodologies, plus hard-working members, collogues and full support from the WMMAA Pan-American Division.

NEF 26 MMA CARD FEATURES WOMEN’S FIGHTS, TITLE FIGHTS, RETURNS, DEBUTS AND MORE

Lämna en kommentar

Lewiston, Maine (Oktober 21, 2016) – New England Fights (NEF) presenterar sin nästa blandade krigs-arts händelse, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” på lördag, November 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Tidigare idag, NEF executives announced the full fight card for the event which will be the fight promotion’s grand finale for 2016.

 

I main event, “Den” Ryan Sanders (10-8) kommer att träffa Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sanders’ first fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered a “dream match” by Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanders’ camp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature an interesting “coach vs. tränare” slåss. “Okrossbart 2,0” Derek Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founder Josh Parker (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest. Shorey is coming off a big win in Rhode Island earlier this fall, while Parker will be returning to the MMA cage after spending the last three years competing as a boxer.

 

Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be undefeated prospect Aron “Relentless” Lacey (3-0) och Taylor Trahan (6-6) i en fjäderlätt bout. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents at “NEF 25” förra månaden. Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport. Trahan will be looking to play the role of spoiler while also avenging the loss of his Team Link teammate John Santos (3-5) to Lacey in Bangor this past August.

 

The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a heavyweight title fight between Nick “The Guardian” Gulliver (3-0) och Yorgan DeCastro (2-2). DeCastro stepped up to the plate to face Gulliver when no other heavyweight in the region would do so. Gulliver has been on a path of destruction, ripping through three opponents in a combined two minutes.

 

Two women’s fights are on tap for “NEF 26.” Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga (2-2) returns from Florida to meet Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Brianne Genschel (0-0). Genschel’s First Class MMA teammate “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-1) will also be in action against Fernanda Araujo (4-4-2).

 

Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy in Portland, Maine will send two new fighters to the cage at “NEF 26.” Chad Pierce (0-0) will debut against Shatterproof’s Lyman Curtis (0-0), medan Phil Chiasson (0-0) möter Rik Seymour (0-0) of 3Ronin Athletics. Both bouts will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

Gulliver is a member of John Raio’s First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Farmington, Maine. Making his MMA debut in 2015, Gulliver scorched his first two opponents via first-round technical knockout prior to facing Dave Smith (2-1) last spring at “NEF 22.” It took Gulliver a mere 28-seconds to dispatch Smith. I alla, Gulliver’s first three opponents have lasted barely over a combined two minutes in the cage with him. He will be looking to continue that dominance of the NEF amateur heavyweight division on November 19 and claim its top prize.

 

” I would like to thank NEF for the opportunity to fight again,” said Gulliver. “This is the biggest fight of my life. I’m excited to be fighting for the heavyweight title belt on November 19th in front of my family and friends. My goal in this sport was to get a title belt, but something bigger than that was to fight for the belt in front of my father. When I started back in June of last year my coach John Raio told me I would someday fight for the belt. This day has come and now it’s my time to finish what I set out to do.

 

“My father was not able to make my last fight because he was too sick. When I found out about this fight I called my parents and told them I would be fighting for the belt and my dad said he would do everything he could to make it. Så, not only am I looking for a victory, but I’m looking to do it in front of my father.

 

“This fight is also big since my Brazilian Jiu Jitsu coach Brianne Genschel will be fighting alongside me. Brianne has been working so hard for this and she deserves this fight and for her hand to be raised. I’m also excited to have longtime friend and Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belt Shawn Smith in my corner which is also an honor. I truly want to thank The Foundry and First Class MMA for all the support and dedication they have had with me and my training.

 

“I believe this will be a great fight and I’ll have to show people a side of me they have not been able to see yet and I look forward to that. I greatly respect my opponent for taking this fight and wish him the best of luck. To my fans be ready for the Guardian to come out like you have never seen him before. I appreciate this opportunity and I’ll do my best to put a smile on everyone’s face. I would also like to thank my wife Heather for all the help and support she has given me.”

 

A native of Portugal, Yorgan DeCastro came to the United States with a solid kickboxing background. He began competing in mixed-martial-arts in 2014, quickly rattling off a pair of victories on fight cards in Massachusetts. November 19 will be DeCastro’s debut on Maine soil, and he plans to return home to South Shore Sportfighting (SSSF) with the heavyweight title belt in tow.

 

“I’m excited for the opportunity to showcase my skills in front of a new crowd,” said DeCastro. “I don’t plan on letting the fight go the distance, but I’m ready for whatever he brings to the table. I’ve faced tougher opposition, so I know I’m prepared.”

 

The opening bell on Saturday, November 19 är inställd för 7 p.m. Biljetter börjar på $25 och finns på www.TheColisee.com eller genom att ringa Colisee biljettkassan på 207.783.2009, extension 525.
