FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD
Lewiston, Maine (Mei 21, 2015) - New England mapambano (NEF), Namba moja kikanda kukuza Amerika ya kupambana, itafanya wake kumi na nane mchanganyiko wa martial-sanaa (MMA) tukio, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” juu ya Jumamosi, Juni 13, 2015 katika Androscoggin Bank Colisee katika Lewiston, Maine. Mapema leo, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) inakabiliwa 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 Juni 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 Juni 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 Rookie wa Mwaka” 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.”
Tiketi kwa ajili ya “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA” kuanza saa tu $25 na ni juu ya kuuza sasa katika www.TheColisee.com au kwa kupiga Colisee sanduku ofisi katika 207.783.2009 x 525.

Uasi wa Reebok Uliweza Kubadilisha MMA kama Tunavyoijua
By: Rich Bergeron
Unajua vita vya Reebok vinawaka moto wakati watu wanapoteza masharti ya mpango huo kwa mfano na kwa kweli:
Nini kilikuwa kikielezea zaidi juu ya tukio, ingawa, Ilikuwa “Mjomba Dana” kutoingilia kati kumuadhibu mpiganaji huyo aliyefadhaika kwa sababu ya kutomheshimu dhahiri mshirika mkuu wa biashara wa UFC. Huu ulikuwa wakati wa maji kwa “Uasi wa Reebok.”
Je! Dana angefanya nini, baada ya yote? Myles alikuwa kweli akivuta ukurasa kutoka kwa kitabu cha uuzaji cha Rais wa UFC mwenyewe. Jury alikuwa akikasirisha uso wako kuuza hoja yake. Dana hufanya hivyo kila siku.
Wapiganaji wa hali ya juu wanamsugua Bw. Nyeupe njia mbaya siku hizi linapokuja suala la mpango wa Reebok, na ingawa alitoa Jury na Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone kupita kwa kukosoa kwao hivi karibuni, aliuma nyuma dhidi ya anapenda Brandon Schaub.
Kunaweza kuwa na aina tofauti ya fataki mnamo Julai wakati mpango huu mbichi unapoanza kutumika rasmi na wapiganaji wote ambao hawakubaliani na Schaub na Jury wataanza kutambua mtazamo wao mfupi.. Baadhi ya wapiganaji hao wa UFC wanaweza hata kujuta kwa kutokujiunga na wenzao kwenye laini isiyo rasmi ya umma wakati inaweza kuwa muhimu.
Sehemu mbaya zaidi juu ya fiasco hii yote ni wakati. Tume ya Biashara ya Shirikisho imeripotiwa tena kuchunguza UFC baada ya mfululizo wa malalamiko ya hali ya juu ya hatua za kupambana na uaminifu zinazotembea kupitia korti za raia.
Ni ngumu kutuliza ikiwa kukuza nguvu zaidi ulimwenguni kwa kukuza sanaa ya kijeshi kunapita mipaka yake kwa njia ambayo wanajaribu kudhibiti kila nyanja ya kazi ya mpiganaji.. Inaonekana kama mpango mbaya sana kubadilishana pesa kidogo na haki ya kupigana chini ya bendera ya UFC kwa damu, jasho na machozi inachukua kukaa juu ya mchezo wa MMA siku hizi. Hata kuwa katikati ya pakiti kwenye UFC ni changamoto kubwa. Wapiganaji wanapaswa kuanza kujiuliza wakati matuta yaliyokusanywa yanapata michubuko, kutengwa, mishipa inayopasuka, mifupa iliyovunjika na mshtuko huwa mbaya sana kwamba pesa haijalishi tena.
Ni nini kitatokea wakati wimbi la mawimbi la wapiganaji wa zamani wa UFC watakapogundua kuwa utukufu wa kuwa umepigania mioyo yao kwa mashabiki sio kulipa bili na / au kupeleka watoto wao vyuoni? Ni nini hufanyika wakati chanjo ya matibabu ya kuisha inakwisha na hadhi yako ya mpiganaji mashuhuri haimaanishi chochote kwa madaktari na hospitali kukulipa ada ya kukasirisha na ya angani kukufanya uwe na afya ya kutosha kuishi hadi uzee?
Muulize Marc Coleman. Sio nzuri.
Kadiri mapigano ya UFC au usawa wa ndege unageuka kuwa hauna uhuru wa kuwa mjasiriamali na hakuna uwezo wa kujenga chapa yako mwenyewe, zaidi Simu ya Scott Coker itaendelea kulia. Angalau huko Bellator, wapiganaji bado wanaweza kuwa na wadhamini wao binafsi kwenye kaptula zao.
Hawatupi wapiganaji wao wote nje kwa kupoteza mapigano machache mfululizo, ama. Hawashutumu hadharani wapiganaji wao kwenye mikutano ya waandishi wa habari baada ya vita kwa kutoweka onyesho. Wanalipa kile wanachoweza, na wanajitahidi kadiri wanavyoweza kuzingatiwa kama mshindani wa UFC.
Phil Davis anaweza kuwa wa kwanza wa kasoro nyingi za UFC ambazo zinaweza kuanza kuingia ikiwa mpango huu wa Reebok utaondoa mapato na fursa nyingi kama inavyosikika kama itakavyokuwa..
Kwa kweli nimekata tamaa kwamba Viacom haifanyi kushinikiza zaidi kupata wapiganaji zaidi wa UFC na mikataba yenye faida zaidi, lakini hakuna biashara inayotaka kupoteza pesa. Ni ngumu kwa Bellator kupata mapato makubwa kwa malipo ya uwekezaji wao kwa wapiganaji wao kutokana na jukumu la kufanya uzalishaji wao wenyewe kwa televisheni ya bure. Hata hivyo, wakati huo huo, Usimamizi wa sasa wa Coker na Bellator unaonekana kujali zaidi kidogo juu ya watu ambao wanapigana chini ya bendera yao. Wanajua bora kuliko mtu yeyote kwamba wafadhili wako wanaweza kukuweka hai.
Wapiganaji ambao wanathamini uhuru wao na wanataka udhibiti kidogo juu ya kazi zao wanaweza kuanza kuona mashindano tu ya UFC kama malisho ya kijani kibichi baada ya mkataba wa kipekee wa nguo hii kubwa. Kile kinachopaswa kuonekana kama hatua kuu mbele kwa UFC inaweza kweli kuwakilisha hatua tatu nyuma kwa shirika hili ambalo tayari linapambana na mapigano yaliyofutwa na kuahirishwa kwa sababu ya kuongezeka kwa majeraha ya mafunzo kwa wapiganaji wa hali ya juu..
Kwa kweli hatuwezi kusahau Bingwa wa zamani wa Uzito wa Nene wa UFC Jon Jones anadaiwa kugonga SUV ya kukodi kwenye gari la mjamzito na kuvunjika mkono kabla ya kukimbia eneo kwa miguu. Huu bado ni mfano mwingine mbaya wa UFC kutowajali vya kutosha wapiganaji wao. Je! Hawangewezaje kumtambua jamaa huyu alikuwa na shida ambayo inahitajika kushughulikiwa kwa muda mrefu kabla ya tukio hili la kusikitisha kutokea? Je! UFC inawezaje kuhalalisha kutokuwa na upimaji wao wa dawa bila mpangilio kama michezo mingine ya kitaalam? Dawa haramu ziko sawa vipi kwa mpiganaji kufanya nje ya mashindano hapo kwanza? Ni nani aliyefanya sheria na mwanya huo ulio wazi ndani yao?
Georges St. Pierre amekuwa mmoja wa wakosoaji wengi wa sauti wa UFC mbele ya upimaji wa PED. Bingwa huyo wa zamani anaendelea kukaa pembeni baada ya moja ya mapigano yenye adhabu zaidi katika kazi yake kumfanya atangaze kustaafu kwake na mlango ukiachwa wazi tu ufa. Mpana tu, mpango kamili wa upimaji wa madawa ya kulevya unaweza kumrudisha sasa, St. Pierre anashikilia.
Hata wapiganaji kama Ronda Rousey wanakasirika kidogo na hatua za kudhibiti kazi zinazotumiwa juu yao na wakubwa wao wa vigogo. UFC haitamruhusu Ronda aonekane katika hafla kadhaa zilizoandikwa za WWE. Kwa sababu sketi hizi hudumu kwa muda mrefu kuliko mapigano yake halisi haimaanishi kuwa ni tofauti sana na kile anachofanya katika kazi yake ya sinema. Wakubwa wake wa UFC wako sawa na kufuata majukumu ya sinema ya vitendo, kwa nini sio mieleka feki kidogo? Labda ni ukweli kwamba WWE iliiba chapa ya Tapout na kuichukua nje ya ngome na kuingia kwenye pete ya kupigana. Labda ni wivu kwamba WWE ina aina ya shabiki ambayo huwafanya kuwa tishio halali, na ni aina ya mashabiki UFC inahitaji sana. Labda ni ukweli kwamba UFC ilipoteza nafasi yao ya kubakiza huduma za Brock Lesnar tena na bado wanapata.
Sababu yoyote, UFC inabana zaidi na zaidi juu ya nini wapiganaji wanaweza na hawawezi kufanya ndani na nje ya ngome, na huenda zaidi ya mieleka bandia. Mikataba inazidi kuwa na kikwazo kwa kila njia.
UFC pia ilitumia kukuza hali ya hewa ambapo hakuna mpiganaji atakayethubutu kusema neno chafu juu ya usimamizi au usimamizi wowote wa biashara.. Adhabu hiyo ingekuwa mbaya zaidi kuliko faini ikiwa Dana angeamua kukupa matibabu Brendan Schaub kwenye vyombo vya habari.
Kulalamika, na ungeitwa mwoga au bum. Wewe sio mchezaji wa timu, mashabiki wengine wasio na ujinga bado watasema wakati unapoweka shingo yako nje wakati wa mkataba wa UFC. Hata hivyo, hali ya hewa hii haitoshi kuzuia wimbi hili jipya la maandamano ambayo inaweza kukua hadi kuwa crescendo ya kutisha kabla au baada ya mpango huu wa Reebok kuwa ukweli.
Marafiki wasio na akili ambao hukosoa wapiganaji kwa kusema kwa masilahi yao wenyewe hula tu kutoka kwa mkono wa Dana White, hata wakati anatoa sumu ya panya. Ni jambo la kuchukiza kusikia na kuona watu wengi wakikubaliana na mvulana ambaye hakuwahi hata kupigana na bout rasmi ya amateur ya aina yoyote badala ya kumsikiliza mtu ambaye aliweka bidii kushindana katika pambano moja la ngome.
Linapokuja suala la mambo ya nini inamaanisha kweli “kuwa mpiganaji wa F # $% ing,” Dana anaweza kutoa hotuba zote zenye kinywa anazotaka, lakini ni wapiganaji halisi ambao walimwaga damu kwa miaka chini ya bendera ya UFC ambao walitoa hotuba hiyo maana halisi na sauti kwa mashabiki ambao sasa wanaabudu ardhi Dana anatembea juu. Kwa sehemu kubwa, hawa mashabiki wanapenda White tu kwa sababu yeye huzungumza na kujibugua kama wao. Bado, mpiganaji mmoja wa UFC niliyemuhoji miaka iliyopita aliniambia kuna kitu kibaya na mchezo huo wakati mtu anayejulikana zaidi katika MMA ni Dana White. Sikuweza kukubali zaidi.
Uhuru sio neno la kuchukuliwa kwa uzito, na uhuru wa kusema sio huru kama ilivyokuwa zamani. Unasaini kwenye laini iliyotiwa alama ili kuingia kwenye ngome ya UFC, na unapaswa kucheza na sheria zao, hata zile ambazo hupendi au haukubaliani nazo. Hiyo ilikuwa mbaya vya kutosha wakati huo ndio wapiganaji wa shida tu waliokabiliwa. Sasa, it’s much worse because of the Reebok deal and the ramifications and ripple effects it will cause.
Some people forget this deal also alienates other long time sponsors of the UFC and its fighters. Think of all those apparel companies who will not be able to sell their products now in association with any official UFC event. The upcoming UFC Fan Expo situation is a prime example of how the UFC just doesn’t seem to care about the businesses and backers that helped put them on the map in the first place.
The people behind this powerhouse MMA league will alienate anyone or any group of people to make a buck off the backs of better men than themselves. This Reebok deal is living proof of that. Even if all the money from the Reebok partnership does go to the fighters, all those businesses that end up locked out of fighter sponsorship deals will have to line up to sign exclusive contracts with the organization itself. Either that, or they will convert to Bellator supporters and follow burned UFC fighters to that organization.
Suddenly that second fiddle is sounding like it could steal the show, and my prediction that Bellator could fail looks premature and presumptuous now.
“So you want to be a f$%^ing fighter?”
Let me give you Scott Coker’s number.
