BARBARIAN VERSUS BERSERKER ON APRIL 23 אין לעוויסטאָן

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 17, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. מייק “די מוסטאַטשע” האַנסען (3-3) האט געחתמעט צו פּנים דזשעסי “די באַרבאַריאַן” באַוגהמאַן (0-1) ביי אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 205-מנים.

 

Mike Hansen is the founding member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, מיין. He is an alumni of Mountain Valley High School (מווהס) 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) לעצטע חודש. He will look to rebound from that loss on אַפּריל 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 fighterand he seems like a guy I could get along with. אַזוי, 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 atNEF 20against Matt Andrikut (2-0).

 

“אויף April 23rd, I’m looking forward to getting back in there and putting on a show,” האט באַוגהמאַן. “My fans from New Hampshire want to see a warand 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, קעווין האַליי, Brett Trahan and Rob Belliveau.

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

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 16, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier this month, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. מאַט “קען ליאַלקע” דענינג (2-1) וועט טרעפן דזשאָש “Hook OnHarvey (0-0) בייַ אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 150-פונט. 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 23רד.

 

“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. אין דער צייַט, 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? איך מיינען, 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. אַוואַדע, if he tries to take me down—I don’t give up takedowns for nobody. I’ll beat him wherever the fight goes.”

Kazuyuki Fujita vs. דזשירי פּראָטשאַזקאַ

During his memorable 16-year career in the fight game, די 6-פֿיס, 45-year-old Fujita of Funabashi, Chiba, Japan has collected two major, professional wrestling championships and faced off with nearly every rival force of his era in MMA’s heavyweight division, including former pound-for-pound king פעדער עמעליאַנענקאָ, Mirko Cro Cop, וואַנדערלעי סילוואַ און Mark Coleman, while competing under the elite promotional banners of PRIDE FC, K-1 and Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye.

Fujita’s notable victories include a first round (6:46) וואס (corner stoppage) פון“The World’s Most Dangerous Man” Ken Shamrock, אַ ערשטער קייַלעכיק (8:25) קאָ (זעץ) פון יעקב טאַמפּסאַן and unanimous decisions over Gilbert Yvel and two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (ופק) tournament winner and NCAA Division I National Wrestling Champion Mark Kerr.

The 6-foot-4, 23-year-old Prochazka of Hosteradice, Czech Republic is coming off a breakthrough performance in which he scored a first round (1:36) וואס (head kick and knee strikes) of Olympic Judo Gold Medalist סאַטאָשי ישיי in the quarterfinal stage of the RIZIN FF eight-man Grand Prix elimination tournament on December 29, 2015.

Two days later, Prochazka returned to the ring and earned a first round (10:00) וואס (ריטייערמאַנט) געווינען איבער וואַדים נעמקאָוו before suffering a first round (5:09) קאָ (זעץ) at the hands of superstar "מלך מאָ" לאַוואַל in the championship stage round. Of Prochazka’s 16 career wins, 13 האָבן קומען דורך וועג פון (ה)קאָ און 2 דורך וועג פון סאַבמישאַן.

Allan Nascimento vs.Yuki Motoya

At 5-foot-9, Nascimento towers over the majority of his competition in the 125-pound division, and is known for effectively using his reach advantage and high-level Muay Thai skills to frustrate and inflict damage on opponents from a distance, and set up slick submissions.

די 5-פֿיס-7, 26-year-old Motoya of Nagoya is the reigning DEEP flyweight champion and the number one ranked 125-pound fighter in Japan. Motoya is riding a seven-fight win streak, with four of the victories coming by way of TKO or submission.

אין זיין לעצטע אָנהייבן אויף דעצעמבער 29, Motoya faced off with Philip אפֿרים at the inaugural RIZIN FF event, outworking Efrain early in the bout before suddenly being floored by a left hand that Efrain followed up on with a series of strikes, prompting the referee to stop the contest. Because Efrain had not made weight for the fight, אָבער, the result was overturned from TKO to no contest.

HEAVYWEIGHTS TO MAKE SOPHOMORE CAGE APPEARANCES AT NEF 22

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 16, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. Ras Hylton (1-0) איז סקעדזשולד צו פּנים Matt Glover (1-0) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Weighing in at 227-pounds and standing 6’6,Ras Hylton towered over the top of the cage at “נעף 21” last month in his MMA debut. It took him just over a minute to dispatch his opponent, Zak Bergeron (0-1), using his reach advantage to pummel Bergeron with a barrage of strikes. Hylton is a member of Dragon Fire Martial Arts of South Portland, מיין, as well as First Class MMA based in Brunswick.

 

I’m immensely grateful to my teams at Dragon Fire MMA and First Class MMA for helping me to prepare for this dream made real,” exclaimed Hylton. “I expect that Mr. Glover will help provide an excellent show for the fans as we both fight for victory, making this show as memorable as my debut was for me. All roads lead here, and I want mine to lead to victory. Thank you for all the support folks!”

 

בייַ “NEF 21,Matt Glover defeated Gravin Guillen (2-5) דורך ערשטער-קייַלעכיק טעכניש נאַקאַוט. During his time at Mountain Valley High School (מווהס) in Rumford, מיין, Glover was a standout on the football field. He is a member of Berserkers MMA where he trains under coaches Mike Hansen (3-3) and Gary Dolloff. Glover’s younger brother Ryan (Glover, 3-1) is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Light-Heavyweight Champion. At 236-pounds and 6’2,Glover realizes he will need to overcome Hylton’s height and reach advantage on April 23rd.

 

I’m very excited for my next NEF battle,” said Glover. “I think I will be even more prepared and less nervous for this fight. My head will be clearer. For my debut, my brother was also on the card and I was a little distracted as a result, but for this fight, my mind is all business about what’s in front of me. Ras possesses a huge challenge with his height and reach, but I plan on neutralizing his kicks and getting inside and coming straight forward and throwing bombs. My training is getting me better and better and getting me more prepared every day. There will be some bloodshed on April 23rdand I will give 110% effort, as always.

MATT MITRIONE CHOOSES BELLATOR MMA, SIGNING AN EXCLUSIVE, MULTI-FIGHT CONTRACT WITH THE PROMOTION

סאַנטאַ מאָניקאַ (מאַרץ 14, 2016) – Last week, top mixed martial art’s free agent מאַט מיטריאָנע (9-5) joined Ariel Helwani’s “MMA Hour” show and revealed that he had been fielding offers from multiple promotions, including a great bid he had received from Bellator MMA. In a very rare move, Helwani had Mitrione rejoin his popular talk show for a second straight week to announce that the paperwork has been finalized, making Mitrione the newest member of Bellator MMA’s heavyweight division.

 

“There comes a time in every athlete’s life, where the scenarios change and the landscape has eroded from what made you fall in love with it initially,” said Mitrione. “It has become that time for me. After a mutually beneficial free agency period, I’ve decided to move my career to Bellator. I’ve enjoyed almost every second of my career and unlike most that switch organizations due to being cut or no longer being able to perform at the sports highest levels, I am bringing a body and skillset that are only getting better and I cannot wait to test my abilities against the best Bellator has to offer.”

 

Lovingly referred to as “Meathead,” Mitrione is one of the few fighters to have started his professional career with the UFC without previously competing on the regional circuit. His 14-bout stint with that promotion began in 2009, where he faced formidable opponents the likes of: קימבאָ רעפטל, גאַבריעל גאָנזאַגאַ, בן ראָטהוועלל, Derrick Lewis, ברענדאַן סטשאַוב, רוי נעלסאָן, Shawn Jordan and Travis Brown amongst others.

 

Prior to competing in MMA, Mitrione earned a scholarship to play defensive tackle for the Purdue Boilermakers football team, not far from where he grew up in Springfield, קראַנק. נאָך קאָלעגע, he played in the NFL for the New York Giants, San Francisco 49ers and Minnesota Vikings until 2005.

 

At the conclusion of his professional football career, the Shotokan Karate Black Belt focused all of his attention on the sport of MMA. Mitrione spent time training with Duke Roufus and the highly-respected Roufusport team before landing with the famed Blackzilians camp in Boca Raton, פלאַ, where he trains today.

 

The extremely popular and well-spoken Mitrione has allowed the judges to determine the result of his fight only twice, קעגן דזשאָוי בעלטראַן און טשעיקק קאָנגאָ, both of whom currently fight for Bellator MMA. His entertaining fighting style has earned him recognition withPerformance of the Night” (צוויי מאָל) און “פייט פון די נאַכט” אַקקאָלאַדעס.

 

Prior to his last fight with his former promotion, Mitrione was forced to participate in a media session barefoot, as his shoes didn’t adhere to the strict company uniform policy. He will have no such problems at Bellator, where he is free to secure his own sponsors and keep his feet warm with the footwear of his choosing.

 

Bellator has been bolstering their heavyweight division as of late, and Mitrione becomes the second heavyweight free agent the promotion has signed in as many months, ווי סערגעי כאַריטאָנאָוו joined the fray in February. The division is currently championed by וויטאַלי מינאַקאָוו, and includes other top names like Slice, באַבי לאַשלי, טשעיקק קאָנגאָ, Vinicius “Spartan,” Tony Johnson, דזשאַסטין רען, דן טשאַרלעס און אַוגוסטאָ סאַקאַי.

WMMAA President Vadim Finkelchtein Leading sport into future

מאַנטי קאַרלאָ, מאָנאַקאָ (מאַרץ 14, 2016)- וועלט געמישט מאַרשאַל Arts פאַרבאַנד (ווממאַאַ) פּרעזידענט 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?
ווף: “I practiced judo when I was a kid. Back then there was no MMA whatsoever.

How did you first enter the world of MMA?
ווף: “אין 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. אין 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?

ווף: “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. אונדזער
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, it
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?
ווף: “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?
ווף: “WMMAA is still in its infancy. יאָ, 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. Over 40 national teams flew to Prague with over 200 אַטליץ. 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?
ווף: “The goals are to encourage as many countries as possible to join the WMMAA
מישפּאָכע, 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?
ווף: “China surprised me a lot. They joined WMMAA recently but since then they’ve shown solid results. אויך, I enjoyed the performance of Latin American teams. It was their debut but one Colombian kid (אַנדריי Roa רויז דומאַר) won a bronze medal and that was great.
אַמאָל ווידער, Russia won the majority of the medals due to amateur MMA there developing with extremely rapid strides ever since early 2012. פעדער עמעליאַנענקאָ 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?
ווף: “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?
ווף: “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?
ווף: “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, equipment, unified rules, and youth sports development.
WMMAA keeps expanding, אָבער, there are still multiple countries that are not yet WMMAA members. Why should any local Federation apply for WMMAA membership?
ווף: “WMMAA is the strongest MMA organization there is. We plan to continuously hold regional and world championships and keep developing and evolving. אַטליץ’ 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 fighterseligibility 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?

ווף: “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. דערצו, they contain so many functions that it would take me forever to discuss it. Just think of rankings, both individual and national, פייטערז’ 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

לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 14, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the MMA portion of the “נעף 22” קאַמף קאָרט. דזשערעמי טיילער (4-3) וועט נעמען אויף קאָרי טרייל (1-2) בייַ אַ קאַמף וואָג פון 150-פונט.

 

אויף April 23rd, it will be 19-months since Jeremy Tyler’s last appearance in the NEF MMA cage. In September of 2014, טיילער, a member of Team Irish in Brewer, מיין, lost to Matt Denning (2-1) via second-round submission. 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). בייַ “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. אויף 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 (קאָ) that was a finalist in the voting for NEF’s “קאָ פון דעם יאָר” אין 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, מיין, Trial predicts another KO finish atNEF 22.

 

“ערשטער, I want to thank NEF for giving me this opportunity and thank Jeremy for taking the fight,” האט פּראָצעס. “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 judgesI’ll be coming for the knockout! This is a fight you won’t want to miss!”
