Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 17, 2016) - Combattimenti New England (NEF), Numero uno di promozione lotta regionale dell'America, terrà la sua prossimo evento, “NEF 22: TUTTE LE STRADE PORTANO QUI” su Sabato, Aprile 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” carta di lotta. Microfono “Il Mustache” Hansen (3-3) ha firmato a faccia Jesse “Il Barbaro” Baughman (0-1) con un peso lotta di 205 libbre.

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. He is an alumni of Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) where he won a state championship wrestling as a heavyweight in 2004. Hansen made his MMA debut shortly after graduating from high school, only to step away from the sport for a decade in order to serve his country as a combat engineer in the United States Army. He returned to the MMA cage in 2015 as a member of the NEF roster. After restarting his career with a record of 2-1, Hansen dropped his first bout of 2016 to Zach Elkins (1-1) il mese scorso. He will look to rebound from that loss on Aprile 23.

 

“I’m looking forward to getting back in the cage fast coming off this loss,” said Hansen. “I wasn’t mentally in that fight, so this time around with Baughman, I’m going to be mentally focused. Jesse is a big guy and a tough fighter – and he seems like a guy I could get along with. Così, when we are done smashing each other up, hopefully we can get a drink.”

 

Like Hansen, Baughman is a United States military veteran, where he served in a recon unit of the special forces and earned a level-three certification in Army combatives. He is currently a member of Team Link based out of Hooksett, New Hampshire. As an amateur MMA fighter, Baughman put together a perfect record of 5-0 and was the number-one ranked light-heavyweight in the northeast region prior to turning professional. Baughman made his pro debut last November at “NEF 20” against Matt Andrikut (2-0).

 

“Su April 23rd, I’m looking forward to getting back in there and putting on a show,” Detto Baughman. “My fans from New Hampshire want to see a war – and best believe they will! Mike Hansen is a worthy opponent. He knows going in, this will be a bloody battle till the end. I have the best guys around preparing me for this matchup. Big thanks to Taylor Trahan, Kevin Haley, Brett Trahan and Rob Belliveau.”

HEAT RISING ON UPCOMING DENNING-HARVEY FIGHT AT NEF 22 APRIL 23RD

Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 16, 2016) - Combattimenti New England (NEF), Numero uno di promozione lotta regionale dell'America, terrà la sua prossimo evento, “NEF 22: TUTTE LE STRADE PORTANO QUI” il Sabato, Aprile 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. All'inizio di questo mese, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” carta di lotta. Opaco “Ken Doll” Denning (2-1) si incontreranno Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) con un peso di 150 lotta-libbre. Since the announcement, the anticipation has continued to accelerate for the upcoming bout. In a recent interview with Jason Floyd on The MMA Report, Harvey made some comments that has sent the energy around the fight into overdrive.

 

“I find him disrespectful as a person and I want to keep it classy on a podcast,” Harvey stated in the beginning of the interview. “I do not want to speak my full mind. You meet the guy, talk to him for a minute and you want to fight him. But it depends on which Matt you are talking to. Because he can rub people the wrong way and he can kiss their ass on the same day. That is who he is.”

 

The bad blood between the two rivals has been rising for a long time. The potential matchup had been talked about for years, but is scheduled to finally become a reality on April 23rd.

 

“In this case, I’ve wanted to fight Matt Denning since we were both amateurs,” Harvey stated to Floyd during the interview. “I couldn’t make it happen then. I guess I wasn’t the fight he wanted. Al momento, I only had one or two amateur fights and he was towards the end of his amateur career.”

 

“He’s backed out of fights before at the pro level,” “Harvey stated. “He’s missed weight. Is it a career? Is it a hobby? Voglio dire, it’s for him to decide, but we’ll find out if he wants to show up to fight.”

 

When Floyd asked Harvey if the fight was personal, Harvey confirmed the obvious. “I think it is,” Harvey replied. “I’m not saying they’re going to want two refs in there to pull me off of him, but it’s going to finish that way.”

 

During the interview, Harvey also noted the difference in quality of training partners, as he sees it, and how that will impact the outcome of the fight.

 

“I don’t think he’s rolling with the animals that we’re bringing in every day,” Harvey stated. “The people he has submitted, I don’t think their jitz game was tight—and that’s why he took those fights.”

 

When asked how he would like to end the fight with Denning, Harvey explained to Floyd that a submission finish would be satisfying, but that he was prepared to create the finish wherever it presents itself.

 

“It would be nice to turn Ken Doll into Stretch Armstrong—that would be sweet,” Harvey stated toward the end of the interview. “But I’m going to beat him wherever the fight goes. I’m not going to force it down to beat him on the ground and I’m not going to force it to stay up. Naturalmente, if he tries to take me down—I don’t give up takedowns for nobody. I’ll beat him wherever the fight goes.”

MATT MITRIONE SCEGLIE BELLATOR MMA, FIRMA UN ESCLUSIVO, CONTRATTO MULTICONTRO CON LA PROMOZIONE

Lascia un commento

SANTA MONICA (Marzo 14, 2016) - La settimana scorsa, il miglior agente libero di arti marziali miste Matt Mitrione (9-5) si è unito allo spettacolo "MMA Hour" di Ariel Helwani e ha rivelato di aver ricevuto offerte da più promozioni, compresa una grande offerta che aveva ricevuto da Bellator MMA. In una mossa molto rara, Helwani ha invitato Mitrione a partecipare al suo popolare talk show per la seconda settimana consecutiva per annunciare che i documenti sono stati finalizzati, rendendo Mitrione il nuovo membro della divisione dei pesi massimi di Bellator MMA.

 

"Arriva un momento nella vita di ogni atleta, dove gli scenari cambiano e il paesaggio si è eroso da quello che ti ha fatto innamorare inizialmente,”Disse Mitrione. “È diventato quel momento per me. Dopo un periodo di free agency reciprocamente vantaggioso, Ho deciso di spostare la mia carriera a Bellator. Mi sono goduto quasi ogni secondo della mia carriera e, a differenza della maggior parte, ho cambiato organizzazione perché sono stato tagliato o non sono più in grado di esibirmi ai livelli più alti, Sto portando un corpo e un set di abilità che stanno solo migliorando e non vedo l'ora di mettere alla prova le mie capacità contro il meglio che Bellator ha da offrire ".

 

Affettuosamente definito "Meathead,"Mitrione è uno dei pochi combattenti ad aver iniziato la sua carriera professionale con l'UFC senza aver precedentemente gareggiato nel circuito regionale. Il suo periodo di 14 incontri con quella promozione è iniziato nel 2009, dove ha affrontato avversari formidabili del calibro di: Kimbo Slice, Gabriel Gonzaga, Ben Rothwell, Derrick Lewis, Brendan Schaub, Roy Nelson, Shawn Jordan e Travis Brown tra gli altri.

 

Prima di competere in MMA, Mitrione ha guadagnato una borsa di studio per giocare a placcaggio difensivo per la squadra di calcio Purdue Boilermakers, non lontano da dove è cresciuto a Springfield, Malato. Dopo l'università, ha giocato nella NFL per i New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers e Minnesota Vikings fino al 2005.

 

Alla conclusione della sua carriera calcistica professionistica, la cintura nera di Karate Shotokan ha concentrato tutta la sua attenzione sullo sport delle MMA. Mitrione ha trascorso del tempo ad allenarsi con Duke Roufus e il rispettato team Roufusport prima di atterrare con il famoso campo di Blackzilians a Boca Raton, FLA, dove si allena oggi.

 

Il popolarissimo e ben parlato Mitrione ha permesso ai giudici di determinare il risultato del suo combattimento solo due volte, contro Joey Beltran e Cheick Kongo, entrambi attualmente combattono per Bellator MMA. Il suo divertente stile di combattimento gli è valso il riconoscimento “Performance della notte” (due volte) e “Fight of the Night” riconoscimenti.

 

Prima della sua ultima battaglia con la sua ex promozione, Mitrione è stato costretto a partecipare a una seduta mediatica a piedi nudi, poiché le sue scarpe non aderivano alla rigida politica delle uniformi aziendali. Non avrà questi problemi a Bellator, dove è libero di assicurarsi i propri sponsor e di tenere i piedi al caldo con le calzature di sua scelta.

 

Bellator ha rafforzato la loro divisione dei pesi massimi negli ultimi tempi, e Mitrione diventa il secondo free agent dei pesi massimi che la promozione ha firmato in altrettanti mesi, come Sergei Kharitonov si è unito alla mischia a febbraio. La divisione è attualmente sostenuta da Vitaly Minakov, e include altri nomi importanti come Slice, Bobby Lashley, Cheick Kongo, Vinicius “Spartan,"Tony Johnson, Justin Wren, Dan Charles e Augusto Sakai.

Lascia un commento
MONTE CARLO, Monaco (Marzo 14, 2016)- Associazione mondiale di arti marziali miste (WMMAA) Presidente Vadim Finkelchtein, who founded the sanctioning organization in 2012, continues to lead WMMAA and the sport into a very bright future.
In four short years, WMMAA has alreadydeveloped into the strongest sanctioning body in the MMA world, hosting some of the sport’s most prestigious championships, as well as creating a highly respected culture in throughout sports worldwide.
Finkelchtein answered some pertinent questions below about WMMAA, its past and future, in addition to addressing the growth of mixed martial arts:
Can you tell us about you and your experience in Martial Arts?
VF: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.”

How did you first enter the world of MMA?
VF: “In 1995, I was offered an opportunity to sponsor an MMA event. That’s when I learned about and fell in love with no holds barred, or free-fight, as it was called then. In 1997, I organized my own event in Russia. The rest is history.”

When did you first hear of MMA and what was your first impression? Did
you expect this sport to grow as much as it has today?
VF: “When I saw my first MMA event in 1995, I was amazed by its scale and how many people came to watch. People were genuinely interested. It was a whole other level and approach to a sports event. And I had seen a lot so I could compare empirically. I have always believed in MMA and expected it would eventually become the number one sport in the world, although back then no one would acknowledge MMA as a sport. Nostro
athletes and fight teams had a hard time. They were not even welcome in sambo gyms to train there. It was a long and a hard way to change MMA’s image that was deemed as human cock fighting or closely related to organized crime. Thanks to the fact I have never had any relations to crime, when this sport landed in my hands in late 90’s, esso
helped greatly as we were able to turn the tide and after all these years to help governments to officially recognize MMA.”

What is your function and main activities within WMMAA?
VF: “I founded the World MMA Association in 2012 because I felt the time had come. MMA is the fastest growing sport and it’s time to start developing it at another level, giving it a new but essential dimension. Due to its popularity, thousands of fans of all ages started practicing in Mixed Martial Arts. At that moment, I had accumulated a vast network in multiple countries. I knew countless numbers of activists across the globe, so the start was destined to happen. From the get-go over 20 countries joined the WMMAA family. At this moment there are over 60 countries and counting.”

How would you assess WMMAA’s progress during its three year existence?
VF: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. Sì, we lack experience and financing, and MMA is a new kind of sport in many regions. But I have to say that we’re growing and the last World Championship in Czech Republic proved it. Al di sopra di 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 atleti. The level of competition evolved so much. The organizational level was also high and we are thankful to our Czech MMA Federation for its great work. This World Championship proved there is demand for MMA around the world.”

What are the main goals of WMMAA and what are the main obstacles facing
the association?
VF: “The goals are to encourage as many countries as possible to join the WMMAA
famiglia, to facilitate them in their struggle to get MMA recognized in their respective countries, helping them develop amateur MMA. There are countless obstacles but I firmly believe we’ll prevail.”

Were there any countries that stood out or surprised you?
VF: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. Anche, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (Andrey Roa Ruiz Dumar) won a bronze medal and that was great.
Di nuovo, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. Fedor Emelianenko is the main locomotive and driving force in Russia. The selection process there is just unbelievable. You can’t imagine how many steps one needs to make in order to become the champion of the Russian Federation. The City Championship, Oblast Championship, regional and national championship. Each of these events consists of at least three fights, which means that a Russian champion will probably have had at least won 15 fights under his belt by the time of the European or World Championships. Only truly the best get to the top. Imagine this: around 7,000 athletes participated in the aforementioned events in 2015.”

What are the 2016 mid-term goals for WMMAA?
VF: “The normal routine is to hold the Asian Championship, Pan-American Championship, multiple referee and judge seminars and certifications, then prepare for the European and, consequently, the World Championship that will coincide with the annual Congress.”

Can you describe what 2015 was like for WMMAA?
VF: “I was amazed with the Asian Championship in Tajikistan with thousands and thousands of fans at the stacked football stadium. I enjoyed watching how many people turned their eyes to an amateur MMA event.”

What words of wisdom would you like to share with the members of WMMAA family?
VF: “I’d ask all WMMAA members to adhere to the agreements and decisions we reached collectively. It pertains to the set of rules, judging process, attrezzature, unified rules, and youth sports development.”
WMMAA keeps expanding, tuttavia, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
VF: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. Atleti’ ethical upbringing is also our target. We believe this sport can give so much to the world in various ways and we put a lot of effort into its development. We’ll gladly accept strong and worthy partners into our ranks.”
“We are truly an amateur association, although others may think we are not. The thing is it’s rather hard to verify the real records of MMA athletes. There is no official and ubiquitous database or instance that would provide 100-percentreliable and accurate information pertaining to the amount of fights under someone’s belt. Some amateur fights might be recorded as professional and professional fights as amateur, which was the reason for us canceling the previous rule of pro fight limitation for the time being, in order to develop a new system of fighters’ eligibility evaluation. We are working on that as we speak.”

People keep asking: why should we use SportID and SportData. Can you
explain why it is so essential?

VF: “We are an official and credible sport. Our association ought to be transparent. These databases show the data on athletes, their statistics and numbers. They show the quantitative as well as qualitative growth of mixed martial artists. They facilitate in overseeing the championships registered in SportData, helping to broadcast them. Inoltre, they contain so many functions that it would take me forever to discuss it. Just think of rankings, both individual and national, combattenti’ profiles and so on. I need to remind everyone that, based on the Congress decision, the use of and
registration in these databases are mandatory for all our members.”

LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT AT NEF 22 WILL FEATURE TWO RETURNING ATHLETES

Lascia un commento

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 14, 2016) - Combattimenti New England (NEF), Numero uno di promozione lotta regionale dell'America, terrà la sua prossimo evento, “NEF 22: TUTTE LE STRADE PORTANO QUI” su Sabato, Aprile 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” carta di lotta. Jeremy Tyler (4-3) assumerà Corey Trial (1-2) con un peso di 150 lotta-libbre.

 

Su April 23rd, it will be 19-months since Jeremy Tyler’s last appearance in the NEF MMA cage. A settembre di 2014, Tyler, a member of Team Irish in Brewer, Maine, lost to Matt Denning (2-1) tramite sottomissione di secondo turno. It was a fitting finish as all of Tyler’s seven previous bouts, whether wins or losses, have ended with a submission. Tyler’s last victory came in February of 2014 with a second-round arm triangle choke submission of Corey Hinkley (2-4). A “NEF 22,” Tyler will look to pick up his first win in over two years.

 

“I’m happy to have the opportunity to get back into the NEF cage,” said Tyler. “I have put in a lot of time into improving my skill set. I feel amazing going into this fight with Cory Trial. Su April 23rd, everyone is going to see that I’m back.”

 

Like Tyler, Cory Trial’s most recent win in the NEF cage was over Corey Hinkley. It was a stunning first-round knockout (KO) that was a finalist in the voting for NEF’s “KO of the Year” in 2015. It was also the quickest victory ever in the NEF cage, clocking in at a mere seven-seconds. Trial has not competed since a September 2015 loss to Rafael Velado (3-0) as he has been nursing several injuries. Training out of Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, Maine, Trial predicts another KO finish at “NEF 22.”

 

“Primo, I want to thank NEF for giving me this opportunity and thank Jeremy for taking the fight,” detto Trial. “I’ve been dealing with a couple injuries the last few months and it’s given me time to reflect and get my game right and in this fight everybody will see that I’m back! I was dealing with a couple of injuries leading up to my last fight, but I showed up ’cause I love to fight. I’m healthy now, training with the best team around and you’ll see the best Cory you’ve seen. This fight won’t go to the judges – I’ll be coming for the knockout! This is a fight you won’t want to miss!”

 

prossimo evento New England Combattimenti ', "NEF 22: TUTTE LE STRADE PORTANO QUI," ha luogo Sabato, Aprile 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Bank Colisée a Lewiston, Maine.
