Lewiston, Maine (Maio 18, 2016) - Em Junho 18, 2016 Lutas da Nova Inglaterra (NEF) will return to Lewiston with the fight promotion’s latest fight card, “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND.” A full slate of professional and amateur mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing is planned for the event. Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur MMA welterweight bout to the fight card. Shawn bang (1-1) will return to take on Mike Bezanson (1-0) com um peso de combate de 170 libras-.
Shawn Bang is a member of the famous Bang family of fighters from nearby Auburn, Maine. Along with his father and brothers, Bang é um membro da Central Maine brasileiro Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). It has been nearly three years since he last competed in the NEF MMA cage. Bang has spent the last two years serving as a missionary in accordance with his Mormon faith. Finally back home and reunited with both his natural family and gym family, Bang is ready for his return to the cage.
“After two years of amazing missionary service, I cannot begin to express how excited I am to reunite with my CMBJJ brothers,” Disse bang. “I have only spoken with my own family on Christmas and Mother’s Day, and to have the opportunity to rejoin the ‘Bang Clan’ in battle on June 18th is a fitting reunion. Since childhood our father has always told us, ‘The first rule of brothers is to stick together.’ Em última análise, it will be me alone in the cage to battle my opponent but it is family, both immediate and extended, that gets me there and beyond.”
Lancaster, New Hampshire’s Mike Bezanson debuted in the NEF MMA cage one year ago at “NEF 18.” Early in the fight, it became evident that his opponent that evening, Jeff Dustin (0-1), was outmatched against the Team Kaze product. Although Dustin hung in there for almost two full rounds before the referee stopped the fight, Bezanson put on a striking clinic that left his opponent bloodied. Bezanson took his time and looked like a cat toying with its prey. Some in attendance saw his performance as showboating, while others were impressed by his pinpoint striking. Like it or not, no one could deny that Bezanson provided the entertainment that night.
“I received a lot of mixed reviews from my debut fight at NEF,” recalled Bezanson. “Staying true to myself, Eu sou quem eu sou – in and out of the cage. Gosto de entreter, keep people on their toes. Some might say my style of fighting is cocky and unorthodox, but it’s who I am, what I do – and I’m comfortable fighting that way. It is in no way meant to belittle or disrespect my opponent, it’s merely a technique. I have a great deal of respect for all fighters, treinadores e fãs. One of the reasons I train to fight is the self discipline. I push myself to be the best I can be and I love to compete! Ganhar ou perder, I take away whatever I can from the experience to better myself and grow. You know what they say, ‘There’s no losing, you either win or learn.’ I’m excited to get in the cage in June, and put all my hard work to the test! It’s going to be an entertaining show!”
