FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD
Lewiston, Maine (Kia 21, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) e anga Johnny Crafts (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.
Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, Maine, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the Pipiri 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “NEF XVIII,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.
“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so Pipiri 13 can’t get here fast enough.”
Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “NEF XVIII,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 Ihupuku o te Tau” by NEF fans.
“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Class Tuatahi” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, Heoi, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ahakoa, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Pipiri 13 i roto i te Lewiston.
NEF homegrown talent, a 2014 “Fighter o te Tau,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Ko te kitenga i Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) i roto i te a'ee taumahawaenga.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.
In other professional bouts: Hehe “Ko te Viking” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “Nef XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; a Iraia “Danger Kiore” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Pū” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.
“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) aRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.
In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) tapawhā atu ki Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.
A women’s fight will also be featured on the amateur card withAlex Walker (0-1) e anga Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 i “Nef XVII” last month with her “Whawhai o te Po” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

Ka taea e Reebok Rebellion te whakahou i te MMA e mohiotia ana e tatou
By: Rich Bergeron
Kei te mohio koe kei te mura haere te pakanga Reebok i te wa e takatakahia ana e te iwi nga kupu whakarite mo te whakarite me te LITERALLY:
He aha atu nga korero mo te kaupapa, ahakoa, ko “Uncle Dana” kaore i te kuhu ki te whiu i te toa riri mo tana tino whakaharahara ki tetahi hoa pakihi nui o te UFC. He waa waipuke tenei mo te “Reebok Whakakeke.”
He aha ta Dana i mahi ai, i muri katoa? I te unuhia e Myles tetahi whaarangi mai i te pukapuka hokohoko a te Perehitini o UFC. E kino ana te Huuri ki te hoko i tana tohe. E mahi ana a Dana i nga ra katoa.
Toa-teitei e komukumuku tonu ana a Mr.. Ma te ara he i enei ra ka tae ana ki te kirimana Reebok, ahakoa i whakawhiwhia e ia ki a Jury me Donald “Kaupoai” Cerrone he paahitanga mo a raatau korero whakahe, ka hoki whakamuri ia ki nga ahuatanga o Brandon Schaub.
Akene he momo ahi ke i te Hurae i te wa ka mana ana te mahi nei me nga toa katoa kaore e whakaae ki a Schaub me Jury ka tiimata te mohio ki o ratau whakaaro poto.. Ko etahi o nga toa UFC ka pouri pea mo te kore e uru atu ki o raatau hoa i runga i te raarangi piketihana a te iwi kaore pea i te mea kua nui.
Ko te mea kino rawa mo tenei mahi nui ko te taima. Ko te Komihana Hokohoko a Federal e kii ana kei te tirotirohia e ia te UFC i muri i te raupatutanga o nga amuamu a te Akomanga-Mahi-a-Tiwhikete-nui e haere haere ana i roto i nga kooti a-iwi.
He uaua ki te kore e paatai mena kei te kaha rawa atu te whakatairanga i nga mahi toi taua i te ao e kaha ana ratou ki te whakahaere i nga ahuatanga katoa o te mahi a te toa.. Te ahua nei he tino kino te mahi ki te whakawhiti moni iti me te tika ki te whawhai i raro i te haki UFC mo te toto, te werawera me te roimata ka noho ki te tihi o te keemu MMA i enei ra. Ahakoa ko waenganui o te kete i te UFC he wero nui tenei. Me tiimata te hunga whawhai ki te paatai i a raatau ano i te wa e pupuhi ana nga pupuhi, nukunuku, hononga herea, whati nga wheua me nga wero ka kino rawa kaore te take e putea.
He aha te mea ka puta mai i te ngaru tai o nga toa UFC o mua i te kitenga ko te kororia o te whawhai ki o raatau ngakau mo nga kaitautoko kaore i te utu i nga putea me te tuku i a raatau tamariki ki te kaareti? He aha te mea ka pau te hipoki rongoa rongoa me to tuunga kaitaua rongonui ehara i te mea nui ki nga taakuta me te hohipera te utu ki a koe i nga utu whakaharahara me te matakite kia pai ai to hauora ki te ora ki te koroheketanga?
Patai ki a Marc Coleman. Ehara i te mea ataahua.
Ko te nui ake o te whawhai UFC, te rerenga rerenga ranei ka huri ki te kore herekore hei kaipakihi me te kore e kaha ki te hanga i to ake tohu, te atu Ko te waea a Scott Coker ka haere tonu ki te tangi i te matau. I te iti rawa i Bellator, Ka taea tonu e nga kaiwhaiwhai te whai i a raatau ake kaitautoko i o raatau poto.
Kaore e peia katoahia e raatau toa mo te ngaro o etahi whawhai i te rarangi, rānei. Kaore ratou e kino ki te iwi whaanui i nga huihuinga huihuinga i muri i te pakanga mo te kore e whakaatu whakaaturanga. Ka utua e raatau nga mea e taea ana e raatau, ana ka whakapau kaha ratou kia kiia ai he kaiwhakataetae UFC.
Ko Phil Davis pea te tuatahi o te maha o nga kaihuri UFC ka tiimata ki te uru mena ka whakakorehia e tenei mahi Reebok te nui o te moni me te mea angitu i te mea e pai ana..
Kei te tino pouri ahau mo te kore o Viacom e akiaki nui kia nui ake nga toa UFC me nga kirimana whai hua, engari kaore he pakihi e hiahia ki te ngaro moni. He uaua ake ki a Bellator te whiwhi hua nui hei utu mo a raatau moni haumi ki a raatau toa na te kaha ki te mahi i a raatau ake mahi mo te pouaka whakaata koreutu.. Otiia, i te wa ano, Ko te mana whakahaere o Coker me Bellator inaianei he ahua nui ake mo nga taangata e whawhai ana i raro i to raatau haki. He pai ake to ratou mohio ki ta tetahi ka taea e o kaitautoko te whakaora kia ora koe.
Ko nga kaiwhawhai e aro nui ana ki to raatau herekore me te hiahia kia kaha ake te whakahaere i a raatau umanga ka tiimata ki te kite i te whakataetae UFC anake hei mahinga maaka nui ake i muri i te kirimana kakahu motuhake a tenei tupua sneaker.. Ko te mea e tika ana kia anga whakamua mo te UFC akene he tohu kia toru nga hokinga whakamuri mo tenei umanga e kaha pakanga ana me nga whawhai kua whakakorea me te hiki tonu na te mea kua nui haere nga wharanga whakangungu ki nga toa o runga.
Ae ra, kaore e taea e taatau te wareware i te Toa UFC Maama Taumaha o mua a Jon Jones e kii ana i te tukinga i tetahi SUV reti ki te motuka o te wahine hapu, ka whati tona ringa i mua i te rerenga i te waahi i runga i ona waewae.. Koinei ano tetahi o nga tauira aitua o te UFC kaore i te aro nui ki o raatau toa. Me pehea e kore ai ratou e mohio he raru ta tenei taane me aata aro wawe atu i mua i te putanga mai o tenei kaupapa kino? Me pehea te UFC e kore ai e whai i a raatau ake whakamatautau tarukino tupurangi kia rite ki etahi atu hakinakina ngaio? He aha te pai o nga raau taero kore ture mo te kaiwhawhai kia kore e whakataetae i te tuatahi? Na wai i whakarite nga ture me taua puare kua pakaru?
Georges St. Ko Pierre tetahi o nga kaikorero tino nui a te UFC i te aroaro o te whakamatautau-PED. Ko te toa o mua i noho tonu ki te taha i muri o tetahi o nga whawhai whiu o tana umanga i kii ai ia ki te whakaatu i tana reti me te kuaha ka tuwhera noa.. He whanui noa iho, Ka taea e te kaupapa whakamatautau rongoa whanui te whakahoki mai i a ia inaianei, St. Kei te mau tonu a Pierre.
Ahakoa nga toa penei i a Ronda Rousey kei te riri haere ki nga tikanga whakahaere umanga kei runga i o raatau rangatira rangatira. Kaore e tukuna e te UFC a Ronda kia puta i etahi waahanga WWE i tuhia. Na te mea he roa ake enei reti i etahi o ana whawhai tuuturu ehara i te mea he rereketanga ke atu i nga mahi o tana mahi kiriata. Kei te pai ona rangatira UFC me tana whai i nga mahi kiriata, na he aha te take o te nonoke rūpahu iti? Akene ko te mea i tahae a WWE i te waitohu Tapout a tangohia ana i waho o te whare herehere ka uru atu ki te mowhiti nonoke. Mahalo ko te hae kei a WWE te momo momo kaiwhaiwhai e tino whakawehi ana i a raatau, a ko nga momo kaiwhaiwhai e hiahiatia ana e te UFC. Akene koinei pea te UFC i ngaro to raatau tupono ki te pupuri ano i nga ratonga a Brock Lesnar ana kei te kaha tonu ratou ki te whakahaere.
Ahakoa te take, ko te UFC kei te takahi i nga mea ka taea e nga toa kaore e taea te mahi i roto me waho o te whare herehere, ana neke atu ki tua atu o te nonoke rūpahu. Kei te kaha haere te taumaha o nga kirimana i roto i nga ahuatanga katoa.
I mahi ano te UFC ki te poipoi i te ahuarangi kaore he toa e maia ki te korero kupu kino mo te whakahaere, mo nga whakahaerenga pakihi ranei.. Ka kino atu te whiu i te whiu mena ka whakatau a Dana kia hoatu ki a koe te maimoatanga a Brendan Schaub i roto i nga perehi.
Amuamu, a ka kiia koe he tangata whakamataku, he tupapaku ranei. Ehara koe i te kaitakaro roopu, ko etahi kaare kuare ka kii tonu ka piri ana to kaki i raro i te kirimana UFC. Otiia, kaore i rava tenei awangawanga ki te aukati i tenei ngaru hou o te poroteehi ka tipu pea ki te mahi whakamataku i mua noa atu ranei i muri i te whakatuturutanga o te kaupapa Reebok.
Ko nga minita koretake e whakahe ana i nga toa mo te korero mo o raatau hiahia tino kai noa i te ringaringa o Dana White, ahakoa e pahemo atu ana e ia te paitini kiore. He mea whakarihariha te whakarongo atu me te kite i te nuinga o nga tangata e whakaae ana ki te taangata kaore nei i whawhai i tetahi momo rangatira runaruna o nga momo ahakoa te whakarongo ki te tangata nana i whakapau kaha ki te whakataetae i roto i te pakanga herehere ngaio.
Ka tae ana ki nga kaupapa he aha ake te tikanga “hei toa F # $% ing,” Ka taea e Dana te tuku i nga whaikorero ngutu katoa e hiahia ana ia, engari ko nga kaiwhawhai pono i whakaheke toto mo nga tau i raro i te haki UFC nana i whakaputa taua korero he tino tikanga me te haangai ki nga kaitautoko e koropiko ana inaianei ki te whenua e hikoi ana a Dana. Hoki te wahi tino, ko enei kaiwhaiwhai anake e tino rata ana ki a White na te mea e korero ana ia me nga korero rite tonu ki a raatau. Tonu, kotahi toa UFC i uiuitia e au i nga tau kua hipa i kii mai ki ahau he kino kei roto i te hakinakina ana ko te tangata e tino mohiotia ana i te MMA ko Dana White. Kare i taea e au te whakaae ake.
Ko te herekore ehara i te kupu hei whakahawea, a kaore i te waatea te korero koreutu i nga wa o mua. Waitohu koe i runga i te raina iraira ki te hikoi i roto i te whare herehere UFC, ana me whakarite e koe ki o raatau ture, ara ko nga mea kaore koe e pai, kaore ranei koe e whakaae. I kino tera i te wa koinei noa nga kaiwhawhai raruraru i aro atu. Na, he kino rawa atu na te kirimana Reebok me nga raru me nga raru ka puta.
Ka warewarehia e etahi taangata tenei kirimana ka wehe atu i etahi atu o nga kaitautoko roa o te UFC me ana kaiwhawhai. Whakaarohia era kamupene kaakahu kaore e taea te hoko i a raatau hua inaianei me te hono ki nga huihuinga UFC whaimana. Te heke mai Te ahua UFC Fan Expo he tauira nui mo te ahua kaore te UFC e aro nui ki nga pakihi me nga kaitautoko i awhina i a raatau ki te mahere i te tuatahi..
Ko nga taangata kei muri i tenei riiki mana MMA ka wehe tetahi, i tetahi roopu tangata ranei kia kaha ake te tuara o nga taangata pai ake i a raatau. Ko tenei mahi Reebok he tohu ora mo tera. Ahakoa ko nga moni katoa mai i te hononga Reebok ka riro ki nga toa, ko era pakihi ka mutu kua kati i nga kirimana kaitautoko toa me tuuru ki te haina i nga kirimana motuhake me te umanga ano. Koira ranei, ka tahuri ranei ratou ki nga kaitautoko o Bellator ka whai i nga toa UFC kua tahuna ki taua umanga.
Tere tonu te tangi o taua piana tuarua ka taea te tahae i te whakaaturanga, me taku matapae ka kore pea e mate a Bellator e ahua maoro ana, e maia ana inaianei.
“Na kei te hiahia koe kia waiho hei toa $ f ^ toa?”
Me hoatu e au ki a koe te nama a Scott Coker.
