NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Júní 10, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” laugardag nótt, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Nýlega, headliners Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Léttur meistari, og John “First Class” Ray(2-7) byrjuðu NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker Matt Peterson á sérstakt “Höfuð-til-höfuð” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, meðal annars efni.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “hönd bylgja.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington hefur því fram að hann var eingöngu merkja við aðdáendur sína í hópnum að halda var ekki að gera skaða.

 

“Ég get sagt þér hvernig þetta kvöld endaði,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Í grundvallaratriðum, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, og eins og ég greip vinstri Bicep mína og vinstri hönd mín var að fara á bak við höfuð hans, dómarinn stöðvaði baráttunni… Ég var mjög undrandi að hann hafði tapped því, heiðarlega, Ég vissi að ég hafði mikið af þrýstingi á kjálka hans… Ef í raun er hann var að veifa, að sjúga hann.”

 

“Í því ástandi, Ég man sérstaklega Bickford horfa á mig, Ég er að horfast í augu, hann er að fara til háls minn og ég er að veifa,” Said Boyington. “Allir byrjar öskrandi alvöru hávær og ég man Bickford segja, "Nei Bruce, þú getur ekki sagt að "… Ef þú heldur að ég senda eða ég er í vandræðum eða getur ekki andað, you don’t tell the fighter, “Þú getur ekki sagt að,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ég sé mikið af mismunandi hlutum sem John hefur sagt á netinu, og margt annað fólk hefur sagt, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Áður Boyington gefa upp bakið, many felt he had been winning that first round. Reyndar, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Óhjákvæmilega, Ég held John hefði verið slegnir út,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ég held ekki að ég ætla að leggja hann, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Ég held að ef dómarinn ekki hætta á þeim tíma, þegar ég var á kjálka hans með framhandlegg minn og ég var að ná á bak hálsinn,” Ray geta sér, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Svo, Ég held ekki að það myndi hef farið til aðra umferð.”

 

Á dögum, vikur og mánuði eftir að berjast, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” bæði íþróttamenn snert á hvað vera enn þýðir að þeim, og hvað þeir þurfa að sanna þetta Helgina.

 

“Ég get bara ekki fara í það og slá Jóhannes,” Said Boyington. “Jafnvel hans eigin aðdáendur eiga von á að… Ég get ekki bara farið í það á 13 júníand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ég veit að, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, vegna þess að annar armurinn er ekki einu sinni að vinna núna… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.

 

“Í tengslum við Bruce klára mig fljótt, og gerir það auðvelt, og í raun ekki að hafa áhyggjur af baráttunni of mikið, Mér finnst bara að það disrespectful eins mikið af hlutum sem hann sagði við mig, fjölskyldan mín og vinir mínir,” replied Raio. “Það voru tímar þegar síðustu baráttu þegar fólk var congratulating mig (á Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Svo, eftir að ég sagði "Bruce og ég erum í raun ekki vinir lengur,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… en þegar fólk vanvirðing mig eins og hann hefur það er erfitt að eins og strákur.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

 

Lewiston, Maine (Maí 21, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) frammi 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 Craftsteam New England United (NEW), so the Júní 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 13 júní 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 Nýliði ársins” 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.

Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014.

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) ogRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

 

In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) ferninga á móti Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Maí 8, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) er áætlað að mæta Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) tengja – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Síðasta mánuð, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “Í síðustu baráttu minni, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Maine, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “NEF XVII” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” Said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.

MILITARY VETERAN IN BATTLE OF NATIONAL HONOR AT NEF XVIII

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (Maí 6, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will make his debut in the 135-pound division against Canadian Jeremy DiChiara (1-0).

 

Shorey is a fitting choice to face the native Ontarian on the patriotic-themed event. A 2000 graduate of Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, where he won a Class-C state wrestling title in 1998, Shorey is a veteran of the United States Navy. He served four years of active duty in the branch, and did a tour of Iraq as a member of SEABEE Battalion NMCB 27.

 

Currently the head coach of the Shatterproof Combat Club, Shorey is coming off a victory over John Raio (2-7) í síðasta mánuði á “NEF XVII.” The win gave Shorey the upper hand in the three-fight rivalry between the two athletes dating back to their amateur days. While he has gotten off to a good start to his professional career, Shorey will be the first to admit he has more work to do, and the upcoming battle with DiChiara will be a real test of his skills, especially on the mat.

 

It is truly an honor to fight in front of the NEF fans and represent this rapidly growing brand against a very dangerous opponent,” Said Shorey. “I feel that I still have a lot to prove to the fans, as well as myself in regards to the fighter I’m becoming, and distancing myself from my amateur days. Jeremy is an undefeated purple belt in Jiu-Jitsu, which everyone knows has been my biggest weakness. I see this as an opportunity to show everyone that I’m fixing the problem, and hand a very game opponent his first loss.

 

Holding a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), DiChiara will undoubtedly test Shorey should the fight go to the ground. DiChiara is undefeated in MMA competition, having gone 2-0 as an amateur and now 1-0 eins og a faglegur. He is accustomed to fighting in hostile territory with previous bouts in Michigan and half a world away in Thailand. While in Thailand, DiChiara trained with Phuket Top Team. He is presently a member of Canadian team Wulfrun MMA.

FIFTH CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE BOUT ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Maí 4, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the fight card. It will be the fifth amateur title awarded on the Júní 13 kort. The bout will feature Johnny Crafts (3-0) going one-on-one with Jeff Watts (5-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

Voted the “Nýliði ársins” fyrir 2014 by NEF fans, Johnny Crafts has dominated in all three of his prior bouts. For those familiar with his background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), it comes as no surprise that the brown belt has submitted each of his opponents. Last February, Crafts handed the previously-undefeated Mike Crespo (2-2) his first loss in the NEF cage. He is currently a member of Team New England United (NEW) – the largest BJJ team in the northeast.

 

I’m very excited to be fighting for the first ever NEF ammy bantamweight title,” said Crafts. “This is definitely my hardest fight to date and I am ready to show everyone my progression. Jeff seems like a very well-rounded, experienced fighter and this should be a battle for the NEF fans to enjoy.

 

Jeff Watts is a product of western New York state where he developed a reputation at a young age as a tough street fighter. With a background in Karate and wrestling, Watts began training in MMA in 2009. A familiar face to New England MMA fans having competed twice in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Júní 13 will be his debut in the NEF cage. Watts is known internationally as writerKarmaatemycaton major MMA website Cagepotato.com. Currently residing in Wausau, Wisconsin, he trains out of Rising Son MMA.

 

I’m incredibly excited to be fighting the caliber of Jiu Jitsu that John brings to the cage,” said Watts. “I’m even more excited to see how he handles being punched in the face. First ever Bantamweight title for NEF. What an honor! Win, lose, or drawit’s going to be a crazy night. I’m excited to show some skills I’ve never shown before. Let’s put a show on John. Bang with me.

THE TWO COR(Og)YSOF THE NEF MMA CAGE

 

 

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (Maí 1, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína átjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” á Laugardagur, Júní 13, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine. Fyrr í dag, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. The bout will feature Corey Hinkley (2-3) gegn Cory Trial (0-1) at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Cory Trial made his NEF MMA debut this past February at “NEF XVI.” While Trial came out on the losing end of the fight, he showed powerful striking skills in a wild slugfest with Ricky Dexter (3-0). It is a fighting style that Trial and his teammates at Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, Maine have become known for. It is a style that has also produced some of the most memorable fights on the last several NEF events. Ruthless head coach Josh Parker (4-8) is confident in Trial’s ability to finish the bout coming up on Júní 13.

 

When Cory walked into my gym, I knew I had something special,” Said Parker. “The guy is an animal, and in June he will be looking to show everyone that in his last fight the lights killed him. This fight won’t be going out of the first round.

 

“Ég er spenntur fyrir þessari baráttu,” exclaimed Trial. “Excited to get another chance to show people who I am as a fighter. Síðast þegar, I was overwhelmed with the lights and the crowd. Í þetta sinn, the real Cory will be in the cage, and I’ll be looking for the finish.

 

When they meet at “NEF XVIII,” it will have been nine months since the last time Trial’s opponent, Corey Hinkley, stepped in the cage to compete. After starting his amateur career at 2-1, Hinkley has dropped his last two in a row. He and his coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ), Jesse Erickson (3-3), say that Hinkley has been training harder than ever for his return and has put personal issues behind him since his last appearance for NEF.

 

I’ve had a lot of personal things going on in my life in the past, but I’m now able to train the way I’ve been needing to and I’m coming back stronger than ever,” said Hinkley.

 

I have never seen Corey so focused,” stated Erickson. “He’s training harder than he has for any of his previous fights, and I can’t wait to watch him do his thing in June!”
