QUIEN: Widely considered the greatest kickboxing champion of all time, Don “The Dragon” Wilson is the only person to win 11 world kickboxing titles in three separate weight divisions. En el camino, he defeated 11 other world champions, 12 number one contenders, 15 champions on four continents and was the first kung-fu practitioner to become a kickboxing world champion. Con un historial profesional de 72 victorias, 5 pérdidas y 2 draws — 48 coming by way of knockout — “El dragón” parlayed his success in the ring to multiple high profile roles on the silver screen, notably the legendary “Bloodfist” serie. Total, Wilson has starred in 29 motion pictures and gained fans all across the globe with his tangible charisma. If you’re not familiar with some of the 5th-degree kickboxing black belt’s combat sports work, look no furtherthan this exciting highlight reel.

 

One of the most recognizable MMA fighters of all time, Salón de la Fama Randy Couture transitioned nicely into the entertainment world after his fighting career, starring in several television shows and movies, most notably the Expendables franchise and Dancing with the Stars. Inside the cage, Couture was a fearless underdog, often defeating men with great size advantages. “The Natural” was a multi-time heavyweight and multi-time light heavyweight champion in the UFC.

 

“King Mo” has been a mainstay with Bellator MMA since 2013, luchando contra todos, tanto la división de peso semipesado como la división de peso pesado tiene para ofrecer. This will be Lawal’s first appearance at one of Bellator MMA’s “Fan Fest” events, giving fans the opportunity to meet the explosive striker for the first time. After his recent main event bout with Phil Davis, “Mo” now sets his sights on other “Moneyweight” fights to satiate his thirst.

 

Benson Henderson has accomplished a great deal over the course of his 10-year professional career as a mixed martial artist. A former WEC and UFC lightweight titlist, “Smooth” holds black belts in both Taekwondo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and also earned NAIA All-American honors in both 2005 y 2006. Multiple media outlets named Henderson the fighter of the year in 2012, and has been a part of several epic battles that have received “Pelea del Año” accolades: Donald Cerrone (2009), antonio pettis (2010), Frankie Edgar (2012), and Brandon Thatch (2015).

 

Habiendo peleado por primera vez en el deporte hace casi veinte años., very few men have a more legendary resume than Wanderlei Silva. "The Axe Murderer" es un veterano de Pride y UFC, que trae consigo una presencia intimidante e imponente cada vez que entra en la jaula. Currently one of the biggest free agents in the sport, Silva may soon return to action in hopes of adding to an already-impressive list of wins that include: Guy Mezger, Dan Henderson, Kazushi Sakuraba, Ricardo Arona, Kazuyuki Fujita, Michael Bisping, Cung Le, Brian Stann and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson twice

 

When watching any combat sports event, it’s odd not to see Jacob “Stitch” Duran as the professional cutman on duty. Recientemente, Bellator MMA was pleased to exclusively secure his services as cutman for the foreseeable future, after “Stitch” signed a multi-year contract with the Scott Coker-led promotion. “Stitch” is seen everywhere combat sports events take place, and played a vital role in the recent smash blockbuster, “Creed.”

 

INFO LUCHA: "Bellator: Dynamite 2” se lleva a cabo en Viernes, Junio 24, and airs LIVE and FREE on SPIKE at 8 p.m. Y/7 p.m. CT and features a heavyweight main event of “Rampage” Jackson versus Satoshi Ishii. Los boletos comienzan en sólo $30 and are on sale now at Ticketmaster, and the Scottrade Center Box Office.

BURGESS SIBLINGS READY TO BATTLE AT NEF 24

Deja un comentario

Lewiston, Maine (Junio 16, 2016) – As the only girl in a rough-and-tumble household with three older brothers in Mexico, Maine, Nicole Burgess learned how to fight for pride, for respect, sometimes even just for fun.

Sometimes such sibling rivalries are a challenge and burden. In Nicole’s case, sin embargo, the arrangement furnished three built-in fans and best friends. And the closest bond of all naturally formed with the family’s youngest boy, Ryan, exactly one year and three days older than his sister.

“We were born pretty much back-to-back,” said Ryan Burgess, the pride becoming perceptible in his voice. “She’s always been tough. She’s really strong, just very athletic.”

Ryan, 22, has backed up his three high school championships as a wrestler with a pair of impressive mixed martial arts wins and the New England Fights amateur flyweight title.

Para no quedarse atrás, multi-sport athlete Nicole, 21, finished fourth against primarily male competition in the state wrestling meet her sophomore, junior and senior years of high school. She has carved out a successful college field hockey career at Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

Similarly accomplished, so close in age, rarely seen apart from one another in childhood, Ryan and Nicole’s athletic and life stories remain intertwined as young adults. Nicole will follow her brother into the NEF cage on Sábado, Junio 18, making her debut against Alex Walker (0-1) in a 115-pound women’s bout at “NEF 24: Promised Land.”

Anybody who grew up with a brother or a sister probably can imagine the good-natured ribbing that has taken place in training camp.

“He thinks I’m probably going to want to throw up,” Nicole said with a laugh.

Ryan, who will defend his strap on the same card against Dustin Veinott in a rematch of their split-decision title tilt from November 2015, knows there is no substitute for experience in the cage.

Although he was one of the most accomplished wrestlers in the history of his proud community, Ryan discovered in his first two cage confrontations that the variety of skills and size of the crowd at an MMA event demanded a quantum leap.

“You don’t know what to expect,"Él dijo. “Before my debut, I had never been in a fight in my life. I thought I had, but I really hadn’t. I told myself ‘It’s just another wrestling match,’ but it’s not.”

Burgess stuck with what he knew best and ground out a unanimous decision over Justin Witham in June 2015.

He was introduced as an independent. His studies at Kennebec Valley Community College interfered with his training schedule, and Burgess’ coaches at Berserkers MMA didn’t want him representing the stable until he spent a full cycle under their watchful eyes.

The same night, he scouted out Veinott’s win over Norman “Sleepy” Fox and felt that he compared favorably to both fighters. He proved it in a championship setting cinco meses mas tarde, albeit by an on-paper verdict that most cage-side observers felt could have gone either way.

After struggling to find an opponent worthy for the title shot in his weight class, Burgess was eager to extend Veinott (4-4) a second chance.

“I’ve already been in the cage 18 acta, which is more fight time than a lot of guys who’ve been in four of five fights can say they’ve had,” Ryan said. “I’m completely confident now with the venue, los fans. The only person I hear now is my coach.”

He doesn’t even hear Nicole, although little sister was so enamored with the environment as a spectator that she couldn’t wait to resume her own combat sports career.

“I always watched UFC and stuff like that," ella dijo. “I actually started boxing before Ryan even got into it.”

Nicole donned the gloves in high school after giving up softball. In sixth grade, she made a similar transition from basketball to wrestling after waiting for a ride home, watching one of Ryan’s grueling mat practices and deciding that it looked fun.

“It was weird at first. I didn’t want to touch the guys,” Nicole said. “Then you heard things like, 'Oh, it’s just a girl.’ Often times the guys would be stronger, but I had good technique.”

Walker brings experience, in the form of a loss to Randi Beth Boyington, and a tough stand-up game.

Speaking with the typical subtlety of a big brother, Ryan said that Nicole “should be OK as long as she doesn’t get kicked in the head.”

He quickly noted that she has the poise and talent to enjoy a successful debut if she can shake off the requisite whirlwind of emotions.

“As long as she can put together everything she’s learned. You have to overcome the nerves and the adrenaline dump,” Ryan said. “I remember that from my debut. It stunk.”

Nicole said she would like to end the fight early but predicted that it probably will go the distance.

Her brother aims for his first stoppage and forecasts that his improved striking will catch Veinott and everyone else by surprise.

“Up until now, I was focused on school, just graduating in May, and trying to get my career started,” Ryan said. “I was working 40 hours a week for free as an internship and working 20 more hours on the weekend trying to make ends meet. Dustin is going to see a completely different fighter this time.”

La campana de apertura de Junio 18 se establece para 7 p.m. La agenda actual incluye cinco combates de boxeo profesional, four pro MMA bouts and eight amateur MMA skirmishes. Las entradas para “NEF 24: Tierra prometida”comenzará a las $25 y están disponibles enwww.TheColisee.com o llamando a la taquilla en Colisee 207.783.2009, extensión 525.

Superior 5 Tips On Choosing Martial Arts Training Camp

Deja un comentario

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, choosing a martial arts training camp is a tough decision. I’d like to share with you the top 5 tips on choosing the right camp from 8 martial arts experts that will help you simplify the daunting selection process. Read on!

  1. Class size

Similar to any other kind of training, if you happen to be a beginner in MMA, it’s best to stick to a smaller-sized class. Regardless of your level, the smaller the class, the more 1-on-1 attention and supervision your trainer is able to give you. Idealmente, a training class only consists of 3-4 trainees per coach. You should steer clear of any class that has more than 10 students for each trainer.

 

As MMA is considered one of the most ‘brutal’ combat sports out there, your trainer will need to closely supervise your techniques and provide you with more guidance to minimize the likelihood of injuries during your practice. With a large-sized class, it’s unlikely that they would be able to give the attention you need.

 

  1. Equipment

According to Aaron of Fight Quality, the most important equipment in an MMA gym is properly padded mats on the floor. This way, you are likely to minimize injuries when you get knocked down during a fight. Most MMA establishments should have a cage; sin embargo, some may have a ring instead.

 

MMA gyms should also have high quality pads to hold. Good gyms will have a nice selection of pads, from boxing mitts, to Thai style kick pads to strike shields. These will be used by either one of the gym’s instructors or students in partner exercises.

 

When practicing striking, another important thing to look out for are heavy bags. Bags come in all shapes and sizes, and most gyms will have a selection of several types. These are great for perfecting techniques on your own.

 

To recap, a good MMA training camp should also have the following:

 

  • Rings or cages
  • Punching or spar bags
  • Boxing equipment
  • Full weights equipment
  • Aptitud & cardio machines

 

Quality training camps and gyms may also offer ‘spare’ gear available to use or rent. This may be an alternative if you are only going to be using it only a couple of times. Even though these gears are probably cleaned after every use, it’s always best to buy your own in order to ensure the best quality and hygiene.

 

  1. Precio

Prices for MMA training camps vary greatly depending on the level of trainers, localización, facilities & equipo, and so forth. Sin embargo, it doesn’t always mean that a cheaper training camp has less qualified trainers than more expensive one. Por ejemplo, to give you a better idea on the price range, a budget option of Super Pro’s 1 month MMA & Muay Thai training in Thailand is priced as low as US$ 344 (incluye 30 days/29 nights acommodation) whereas a more luxury option such as Evolve MMA retreat in Singapore would cost you US$ 2490 (also includes 30 days/29 nigths acommodation). Despite on different price ranges, there are positive reviews for both types of camps, and their visitors have shared that they significantly developed their skills after their training, which illustrates that lower-priced training camp doesn’t necessarily equal to low quality of training.

 

  1. Training program

In order to evaluate the price range, you might want to compare the training program that is offered. Típicamente, you will undergo at least 3 training sessions in different martial arts training disciplines. Some training courses offer additional classes such as yoga, meditation, or cross training sessions. Whether you are a beginner, an intermediate, or a pro, it’s advisable to always carefully weigh out the fee of the training camp against what is being offered. Take your time and feel free to ask around and make comparisons in determining whether the price tag is ‘worth it’ to invest in.

 

  1. Ubicación

If you are more serious about your training and looking to hone your skills in MMA, location may not be a huge variable that you need to take into account in making your selection. You can instead focus on evaluating which options would best assist you in becoming the great MMA champion you are striving to become. Sean of Muay Thai Guy also shared his insights in terms of location: “The people and the coaches make the place doesn’t matter if you are training in a remote place or in a busy city it all comes down to the people and how they treat you as an individual, but if the camp is near a beach, that’s always a plus!"

If you are curious and want to learn more on choosing an MMA training camp, check out the full version of ‘The Definite Guide On Choosing the right MMA training camp’ created by BookMartialArts.com in collaboration with 8 top experts in MMA and related disciplines!

Entrenamiento con pesas para luchadores

Deja un comentario

En el pasado, los luchadores se mantenían alejados del entrenamiento con pesas., pensando que los haría más lentos, pero la investigación ha demostrado lo contrario, principalmente porque hay diferentes tipos de fuerza. Cualquier luchador, de todos los estilos, busca desarrollar fuerza de velocidad y fuerza explosiva.

El bioquímico deportivo de gran prestigio Vladimir Zatsiorsky, fue un reconocido entrenador de fuerza / consultor de los equipos olímpicos que competían por la Unión Soviética hace muchos años. Dijo que la capacidad de cualquier atleta para producir la fuerza máxima en un tiempo mínimo se conoce como fuerza explosiva.. Dice que un cuerpo fuerte no significa necesariamente una fuerte fuerza explosiva..

Está claro que desarrollar un tipo de fuerza como la fuerza máxima no garantizará el desarrollo de otro tipo de fuerza como la fuerza explosiva o la fuerza de velocidad.. La fuerza de la velocidad se define como la capacidad de ejecutar cualquier movimiento descargado contra una pequeña resistencia muy rápidamente..

Un buen ejemplo sería golpear un saco de boxeo pesado que se consideraría una pequeña resistencia externa.. Las pocas onzas de peso que pesan sus guantes serían insuficientes para calificar como resistencia mínima.. Pero, Todos los luchadores deben tener en cuenta que el entrenamiento de fuerza máximo excesivo puede eventualmente afectar la velocidad de fuerza., Reducir la velocidad técnica de un buen boxeador..

La resistencia a la fuerza es diferente, ya que se define como el mantenimiento de la función / integridad muscular de los músculos durante períodos más prolongados.. No importa qué estilo use un luchador, la fuerza la resistencia es de vital importancia para cualquier luchador de combate competitivo. Tener mucho poder y velocidad sin resistencia no va a llevar a un luchador muy lejos.

Los eventos deportivos de combate requieren que el atleta sea polifacético y completo en lo que respecta a la preparación de la fuerza.. Desarrollar la fuerza máxima a expensas de otras fortalezas no ayudará al atleta. Un luchador necesita una combinación completamente única de estas fortalezas..

No significa que los luchadores nunca deban hacer un entrenamiento máximo para mejorar su fuerza., un luchador necesita entender un poco de fisiología muscular para poder apreciar lo importante que puede ser el entrenamiento máximo para un luchador. Las fibras musculares siempre se agrupan en diferentes unidades motoras..

Cada una de estas unidades motoras contiene un nervio y cientos de fibras musculares separadas.. El nervio envía la señal para que un músculo se dispare., contracción lenta o rápida, dependiendo de cuantas repeticiones, el peso utilizado y el músculo(s) aislado. Luego, las fibras musculares se contraen cuando se envía la señal..

Entrenamiento específico para el desarrollo de energía, un luchador necesita apuntar solo a las fibras musculares de contracción rápida. Pero desafortunadamente, no todas las unidades motoras se activarán a la vez. Cualquier ejercicio de baja intensidad no activará las importantes fibras de contracción rápida..

Si el ejercicio que realiza un luchador no estimula ninguna unidad motora de contracción rápida, entonces las fibras musculares dentro de esa unidad motora no podrán adaptarse al entrenamiento. Si no se está reclutando la unidad motora, no habrá respuesta. Pero cuando el atleta levanta cargas pesadas, activará las fibras musculares de contracción rápida..

Los entrenadores de fuerza de todo el mundo reconocen la importancia del entrenamiento de fuerza máxima porque es la mejor manera de mejorar la coordinación intramuscular e intermuscular., requerido para cualquier luchador.

A pesar de lo que haya escuchado sobre el entrenamiento con pesas pesadas, Es un mito común que todo entrenamiento con pesas pesadas solo resultará en un volumen innecesario, que luego reducirá el rango de movimiento y el desarrollo de la velocidad. Esto es totalmente falso, Cualquier luchador que esté considerando el entrenamiento de fuerza mejorará su competitividad en el ring..

El conocido entrenador ruso Yuri Verkhoshansky, dijo en uno de sus manuales que cuando se utiliza cualquier metodología eficaz para planificar una rutina de entrenamiento con pesas, la resistencia utilizada promoverá un aumento en la velocidad de un movimiento, pero también mejorará la coordinación muscular, reacción motora más la rapidez y la frecuencia de los movimientos.

Continúa explicando que la función principal de un músculo no es aumentar de tamaño cuando el entrenamiento de fuerza, sino más bien para aumentar la contractibilidad para una estimulación nerviosa efectiva. Explica que el entrenamiento de fuerza correctamente aumentará la capacidad de su músculo para relajarse mientras desarrolla la resistencia muscular local y aumentará la capacidad anaeróbica máxima de ese grupo de músculos..

MIKE HANSEN: FACING FEAR HEADFIRST

Deja un comentario

Mike Hansen

Lewiston, Maine (Junio 15, 2016) – Fighting anyone, dondequiera, anytime and under any circumstances has become Mike Hansen’s calling card with New England Fights.

No surprise, entonces, that the 30-year-old father of three from Rumford, ME will gladly entertain the idea of a mixed martial arts contest … against an opponent about whom he admittedly knows precious little … on the eve of Father’s Day.

Hansen (4-4) will take on Robert Laroski in a heavyweight clash at “NEF 24: Promised Land” on Sábado, Junio 18 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

There is no fear of the unknown in a man who has carved out his reputation confronting substantially bigger foes since his days as a state champion wrestler at Mountain Valley High School. During his relatively short time in NEF, Hansen has fought as a middleweight, light heavyweight and heavyweight.

“When I took the fight (at NEF 23 in Massachusetts) against Brendan Battles, people were saying, ‘You’re crazy! He’s going to bust your head!’ I understand why the weight classes exist, and I respect that it’s about safety and all that, but I’ve always felt that a fighter should be ready to fight anybody, no importa qué,”Dijo Hansen. “In high school, I would drink two gallons of water and put lead in my uniform just so I could get to the minimum weight for the unlimited class.”

That’s the attitude of a fighter whose skill and talent level far exceed his current record as a professional.

Hansen’s docket includes a stoppage win over former NEF “Fighter of the Year” Crowsneck Boutin. His record also includes TKO losses to Battles and Cody Anderson and a choke-out at the hands of Zach Elkins.

When he reflects upon his unique life story, Hansen, who fought twice for the World Fighting League as a 20-year-old college student, marvels that he ever got back into the cage at all.

“I started the winter of 2004-05. I started training because I had gone from 187 a 242 pounds in a few months. I was seeing stretch marks,” Hansen recalled. “I was pretty upset with myself for allowing that to happen. I started doing Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu two nights a week to get in shape. Then I went home for the summer and ended up with my first fight in August. My friends got me the fight without my coaches knowing about it. They told me it was a good thing I won, or they would have kicked my butt.”

Hansen kept a promise to his father to quit the sport after a knockout loss to Alexander Chianurashvili in 2006. He was studying at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy, with intentions to enter the medical field.

He was stabbed and attacked with a baseball bat by three men in a case of mistaken identity not long thereafter. “I walked out of the hospital the next day, and all three of them were still in there from the beating I gave them in self-defense,” Hansen said proudly.

That dogged determination served Hansen well in the United States Army, where he studied in the elite Combatives program.

“They ask you ‘Who wins the fight?’ and the answer is, ‘Whoever’s buddy gets there first to help him clean up.’ That’s what Combatives taught me: How to survive that extra 30 a 60 segundo,”Dijo Hansen. “Work ethic is what it taught me. It helped me grow and do things I might have questioned mentally whether or not I could do. Not many people find that extra little motivation. The Army taught me how to find it and utilize it.”

A few years later, Hansen found that inner fire again. Even as he returned to coaching wrestlers in his hometown, his own physical fitness suffered as work and fatherhood took precedence.

Hansen vividly describes sitting in a bean bag chair, eating snack food, watching TV at 2:11 a.m. when his phone rang. He assumed it was a friend in trouble.

“It was (NEF co-owner) Matt Peterson. Our families grew up maybe 200 yards apart. My high school wrestling coach had called him, unbeknownst to me, to tell him he needed to get me back in the cage,”Dijo Hansen.

Three weeks later y 20 pounds lighter, Hansen dispatched super heavyweight fixture Artie Mullen at “NEF 16: New Blood Rising,” and the comeback was on.

En el 15 months that have followed, Hansen has been instrumental in launching Berserkers MMA and building his reputation as both a fighter and an instructor.

Life is blossoming at home, además. Hansen is the father of two girls, siglos 5 y 2, and a boy of four months. His older daughter, Kaydn, often accompanies Dad to the gym at Greater Rumford Community Center. He returns the favor by chaperoning field trips for her kindergarten class.

“She and her friends will be on the playground practicing boxing stances and stuff,”Dijo Hansen. “Her teacher says it’s adorable. Hopefully she is learning to take care of herself so I don’t have to.”

Kaydn’s parents are making plans to take her to her first live NEF show after she turns 6. Por ahora, she is content to watch her Dad’s fights on YouTube.

“If we’re watching TV together,”Dijo Hansen, “we have a thing where I get two shows and then she gets two shows. If I put in a fight tape, she’ll say, ‘Daddy, I know this doesn’t count as one of your shows, because this is your work.’”

FIGHT WITH DENNING IS THE CROSSROADS FOR BUSHAW

Deja un comentario

Lewiston, Maine (Junio 14, 2016) – Like so many headline-grabbing heavy hitters with New England Fights, Maine native Brandon Bushaw (1-2) had nothing left to prove in his combat sports career.

Bushaw parlayed his undefeated state championship season as a Westbrook High School senior in 1999 into a college wrestling career at Michigan State University, where he was a teammate of UFC light heavyweight champion Rashad Evans (19-5-1).

“I was with my high school girlfriend (Cynthia), now my wife, so I knew we would always have ties to Maine,” Bushaw said. “Other than being on wrestling scholarship, I thought I was done fighting.”

The couple settled in Myrtle Beach, S.C., and opened Island Bar and Grill, which they have owned and operated for a dozen years.

It is a good, comfortable life. Extended family visited and found the area so alluring that they stayed permanently.

Those competitive juices never completely evaporated, sin embargo.

“I had teammates who turned to mixed martial arts,” Bushaw said. “I watched them, and as I approached 30, it became a bucket list thing. Now here I am, 17 fights later.”

Bushaw, 35, explained the journey in a phone interview as he prepared for his fourth professional bout, a featherweight clash with Auburn’s Matt "Ken Doll" Denning (3-2) en "NEF 24: Promised Land” on Sábado, Junio 18 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

The fight is Bushaw’s first on his original home turf since a 2014 loss to Elias Leland at the 135-pound limit. He ascends to 145 libra, where he admitted he is more comfortable (“at my advanced age,” Bushaw quipped) for the confrontation with Denning.

“It’s weird, because I thought I was done competing up that way when I graduated from high school, but when I go home after all these years, all the old friends that I haven’t seen for years turn out to watch me fight,” Bushaw said. “I’ve fought all over, but any time I fight in Myrtle Beach or in Maine, it’s more special.”

Some athletes return to their competitive arena because they miss the allure of the cheering crowd.

That’s true of Bushaw, to a degree, although even the spectator interest he drew with the Blue Blazes and Spartans pales by comparison to what greets him surrounding the NEF hexagon.

“It’s nothing like high school or even college wrestling,” Bushaw said. “You show up and there’s two, tres, four thousand people watching. It’s so different. You don’t get multiple chances to fight in a week or even a single weekend. It lasts a few minutes and then it’s the highest of the highs or the lowest of the lows.”

The physical toll and the necessary complement of skills also exceed what Bushaw knew in his youth.

He made that discovery about a minute into his initial amateur bout.

“MMA is more dynamic than wrestling. I remember my first fight, the guy picked me up and threw me down and I landed on my head,” Bushaw said. “I remember thinking, ‘This was probably not such a good idea,’ but I found a way to get the win.”

“You can be better than a guy in four different categories, but if he’s better in just one, he’s capable of beating you," él continuó. “You think things are going your way and then it’s the biggest letdown in the world.”

There’s a camaraderie in that unpredictable realm that only veterans of the cage can fully understand. Bushaw, who has trained with the likes of childhood friend Jamie Harrison and Amos Collins, noted that he has become cordial with almost all his prior opponents.

Denning (3-2) is one of the few with whom Bushaw (1-2) became “friends” on social media before their fight.

“It’s kind of strange, but all those things go out the window,” Bushaw said. “He’s fought my buddy Dom Cofone. He’s a local boy. I know it’s going to be a tough challenge for me.”

In many respects it is a crossroads bout for Bushaw, who admitted that he has considered retirement from the sport.

“Probably my last five fights I’ve gone in saying, ‘One more fight and I’m done,’ and then I keep going. I don’t shy away from anybody,"Él dijo. “My last fight was against a kid who was 23 and he’d been in Thailand for two years or some (cosas). That was one time when I might have said, 'Qué estoy haciendo?'

“For me it’s family, then business, then fighting. For a lot of these younger guys, fighting is first, and that makes it a challenge.”

Deportes de combate dar dirección Bezanson DESPUÉS tragedia familiar

Deja un comentario

Lewiston, Maine (Junio 13, 2016) – deportes de combate dieron Mike Bezanson (1-0) dirección. También ayudaron a cultivar la relación con su padre que siempre codiciado pero nunca podría parecen comprender.

Ahora, en la víspera del Día del Padre, menos de una semana más allá del cuarto aniversario de su papá de muerte prematura, Bezanson está a punto de dar un paso más en la carrera que era su sueño compartido.

Bezanson, 21, de Lancaster, Nueva Hampshire, vuelve a la hexagonal de Combates de Nueva Inglaterra para asumir Shawn explosión (1-1) de Auburn, Maine, en una pelea de peso welter a “NEF 24: Tierra prometida." Su combate aficionado es una de las muchas atracciones en laSábado, Junio 18 tarjeta en Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston.

“Creo que esta pelea va a ser bueno para mí, porque voy a ser capaz de mostrar mis habilidades contra un oponente con más experiencia en la jaula que tengo,”Dijo Bezanson. "También, el hecho de que Junio 18 es el día antes del día de padre hace esta una pelea sentimental y emotivo para mí “.

El bis llega casi un año después del día en Bezanson detuvo Jeff Dustin (0-1) por nocaut técnico a través de huelgas en su debut en las artes marciales mixtas de junio 13, 2015. Bang ha dividido sus dos primeros veredictos en la jaula NEF.

exhibicionismo de Bezanson, estilo de palo y movimiento atrajo críticas mixtas de la gran multitud que fue testigo de su esfuerzo novato. Algunos abuchearon la relativa falta de acción, quizá sospechando que Bezanson estaba jugando con un oponente superados.

Todo era parte de su plan para saborear el momento y tomar ventaja de la oportunidad.

“La verdad es que teníamos un plan de juego para obtener experiencia,”Dijo Bezanson. “Si tengo alguna idea de convertirse en profesional, Necesito conseguir tanta experiencia como pueda. Si vas por allí y golpea a un tipo de 10 segundo, no me malinterpreten, tienes un nocaut y eso es genial, pero no está aprendiendo lo que se necesita para sentirse cómodo en el otro lado de ese 10 segundo. No sabes la cantidad de energía que vas a necesidad “.

Bezanson nunca le faltó energía, o de la personalidad, desde la niñez. Se describe como un hombre joven que nunca se metió en problemas serios, y nunca experimentado con drogas u otra alteración del orden público, pero uno que desafió libremente la autoridad.

Gravitó al ring de boxeo en su primer año en la escuela secundaria. Se le dio la dirección. También proporciona una base para el nuevo en, fuera de nuevo la relación con su padre, Jamie.

“Antes de tomar el boxeo, mi padre no estaba muy involucrado tanto en mi vida. Él iba y venía, ya sabes, por razones personales,”Dijo Bezanson. “Cuando empecé el boxeo, llegamos muy cerca. Boxeo y las carreras eran sus cosas. Le diría a nadie y todo el mundo que era el boxeo y lo orgulloso que estaba, y eso significa mucho para mí “.

Jamie Bezanson nunca tuvo la oportunidad de ver a su hijo a desarrollar como un luchador. En Junio 15, 2012, durante la anual “Semana de la Bicicleta” en Laconia, su motocicleta cruzó la línea central y golpeó a otro vehículo.

El anciano Bezanson sucumbió a sus heridas. Era 37.

“He perdido por un tiempo. Dejé de boxeo. Mentalmente, Acabo de estar en un lugar muy emocional,”Dijo Bezanson. “Entonces, justo al lado de mi casa, Kaze Dojo abrió. Dije, ‘Eso es algo que podría hacer’”.

Bezanson comenzó a entrenar en Jiu-Jitsu con Greg Williams. Demostró ser un talento natural, ganando la medalla de oro en su debut en el Abierto de Vermont.

Luego vino la progresión natural de MMA, donde sus habilidades de pie resultaron ser demasiado difícil para Dustin para defender. Bezanson ordenó la jaula con el equilibrio y la precisión quirúrgica de un veterano.

“Soy un tipo bastante seguro de todo. Realmente no estaba tan nervioso. figura que por qué tener miedo si está preparado y que ha puesto en todo lo que la formación?"Él dijo. “El noventa por ciento de las peleas se pierden incluso antes de llegar a la jaula. Si deja que las emociones lo que le, usted no va a rendir al máximo de su capacidad “.

Bezanson sufrió una lesión catastrófica rodilla en un entrenamiento poco después. Ha pasado la mayor parte del año pasado recuperando de una cirugía para reparar un ligamento cruzado anterior y el menisco desgarrado.

Una vez que regresó al gimnasio, Bezanson pasó gran parte de su tiempo se centró en la evolución de su juego de tierra. Debe ser probado magníficamente de Bang, un ex luchador de la escuela secundaria de una renombrada familia de lucha regional.

“Llama la atención es sin duda uno de mis puntos fuertes. Soy un tipo espigado, y trato de usar que a mi el máximo provecho,”Dijo Bezanson. “Sin embargo, he trabajado muy duro en mi juego de tierra en el entrenamiento. Yo realmente no tengo la oportunidad de mostrarlo en mi primera pelea, pero sé que lo haré esta vez “.

Bezanson ve a su segunda incursión en la jaula como el verdadero comienzo de lo que espera sea una prolífica carrera.

Además de los muchos aficionados que hará el viaje redondo de cuatro horas desde el norte del país para vigilarlo, Bezanson sabe que tendrá un conjunto especial de los ojos en su esquina.

“El boxeo me ha enseñado mucho de la disciplina. MMA es la misma cosa. La gente puede usarlo como quieran, pero eso es lo que hace por mí,"Él dijo. “Es algo que me gusta hacer y algo que sé que hace que mi padre orgulloso, todo al mismo tiempo.”

La campana de apertura de Junio 18 se establece para 7 p.m. La agenda actual incluye cinco combates de boxeo profesional, tres combates de MMA a favor y ocho combates de MMA aficionados. Las entradas para “NEF 24: Tierra prometida”comenzará a las $25 y están disponibles enwww.TheColisee.com o llamando a la taquilla en Colisee 207.783.2009, extensión 525.
