Lewiston, Maine (Hunyo 10, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: GINAWA SA AMERIKA,” ito Sabado gabi, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Kamakailan lamang, headliners Bruce “Kahanga-Boy” Boyington (10-8), ang NEF MMA Professional lightweight Kampeon, at John “Primera klase” Sinag(2-7) sumali NEF co-may-ari at posporo Matt Peterson sa isang espesyal na “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, bukod sa iba pang paksa.

 

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 “wave ng kamay.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington ay nakipagtalo na lamang siya ay pagbibigay ng senyas sa kanyang mga tagahanga sa karamihan ng tao na ang hold ay hindi paggawa ng anumang pinsala.

 

“Maaari ko bang sabihin sa iyo kung paano natapos ang gabi,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Talaga, 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, at bilang ko grabbed aking kaliwang bicep at ang aking kaliwang kamay ay pagpunta sa likod ng kanyang ulo, tumigil ang ref ang labanan… Ako ay namangha na siya ay tapped dahil, matapat, Alam ko na ako ay isang pulutong ng presyon sa kanyang panga… Kung sa katunayan siya ay waving, na sucks para sa kanya.”

 

“Sa sitwasyon na, Ako mismo tandaan Bickford naghahanap sa akin, Ako ay mukha up, siya ay pagpunta para sa aking leeg at ako ng waving,” Sabi ni Boyington. “Lahat ng tao ay nagsisimula atungal real maingay at tandaan ako Bickford sinasabi, 'No Bruce, hindi mo maaaring sabihin na ang '… Kung sa tingin mo na ako ng pagsusumite o hindi ako sa problema o hindi makahinga, you don’t tell the fighter, “Hindi mo maaaring sabihin na,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Nakikita ko ang maraming iba't ibang mga bagay-bagay na John ay may sinabi sa online, at isang pulutong ng mga bagay-bagay sa iba pang mga tao ay may sinabi, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Bago Boyington pagbibigay up ang kanyang likod, many felt he had been winning that first round. Sa katunayan, 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.

 

“Hindi maaaring hindi, Sa tingin ko ang John ay na-knocked out,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Hindi sa tingin ko ako gonna magsumite kanya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Sa tingin ko kung ang ref ay hindi hihinto sa oras, kapag ako ay sa kanyang panga sa aking mga bisig at ako ay umaabot sa likod ng kanyang ulo,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Kaya, Hindi sa tingin ko ay ito Na wala sa pangalawang round.”

 

Sa mga araw, linggo at buwan ng pagsunod sa mga fight, 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,” parehong ATLETA baliw sa kung ano ang kahulugan ng rematch sa kanila, at kung ano ang kailangan nila upang patunayan ito darating na weekend.

 

“Ko lamang ay hindi maaaring pumunta sa doon at matalo John,” Sabi ni Boyington. “Kahit na ang kanyang sariling mga tagahanga ay umaasa na… Hindi ako maaaring pumunta sa loob lamang doon sa Hunyo 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Alam ko na, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, dahil ang iba pang mga braso ay hindi pa gumagana sa ngayon… 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.”

 

“Sa pagsasaalang-alang sa Bruce pagtatapos akin mabilis, at ginagawang mas madali, at hindi tunay na nababahala tungkol sa paglaban ng masyadong maraming, I hanapin lamang ito lapastangan tulad ng isang pulutong ng mga bagay na siya ay sinabi sa akin, aking pamilya at mga kaibigan ko,” replied Raio. “May mga oras matapos ang huling labanan kapag ay binabati ako ng mga tao (sa 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. Kaya, matapos na ako sinabi 'Bruce at ako ay hindi talaga anymore kaibigan,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ngunit kapag kalapastanganan sa akin ang mga tao tulad siya ay may mahirap na gusto ang guy.”

Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 29, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: GINAWA SA AMERIKA,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced the addition of a professional light-heavyweight bout to the fight card. Mayk “Ang bigote” Hansen (2-1) ay naka-iskedyul na upang matugunan Cody Anderson (1-2) sa isang away bigat ng 205-pounds.

 

A native of Rumford, Maine, Hansen won a state championship in 2004 wrestling for Mountain Valley High School. After graduation, Hansen began training in MMA and made a successful debut in 2005. He would put his MMA career on hold to serve his country in the United States Army as a combat engineer. Ngayong taon na ito, Hansen returned to the sport and founded Berserkers MMA in his hometown of Rumford. His first fight in the cage in nearly a decade saw him triumph over Artie Mullen (0-11) this past February at “NEF XVI.”

 

“I’m pumped to be have an opponent like Cody,” said Hansen of the upcoming fight with Anderson. “He is a real tough guy and this should be a great battle.”

 

Cody Anderson is a member of Team Triumph/Boston Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in Nashua, New Hampshire. Formerly a top-ranked amateur, Anderson put together a perfect 5-0 record over the course of his amateur career. He turned pro in the fall of 2012, winning his debut over Hector Sanchez (3-12). Anderson’s last appearance in NEF saw him submitted in the final moments of his bout with Jarod “Huling Minutong” Lawton (4-2) sa “NEF VII” dalawang taon na ang nakaraan. Anderson had been winning the bout to that point, turning in a “fight of the night” performance along with his opponent.

 

“I’ve been away too long,” said Anderson. “Even with no fight camp and only two weeks notice, I will put my hands on this guy and put him to sleep.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Mag-iwan ng komento

 

Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 21, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: GINAWA SA AMERIKA,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) nakaharap Johnny Craft (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 Crafts’ team New England United (BAGONG), so the Hunyo 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 Hunyo 13 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 Rookie of the Year” 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. That win, gayunman, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Anuman, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Hunyo 13 sa Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, at 2014 “Manlalaban ng Taon,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Ang Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) sa isang middleweight labanan.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

 

In other professional bouts: Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (4-4) looks to follow up his commanding performance last month at “NEF XVII” with another victory when he takes on Zenon Herrera(0-0); “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (2-1) will also try to make it two-in-a-row when he meets Canada’s Jeremy DiChiara (1-0) in a bantamweight battle; at Elias “Panganib Mouse” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Gun” Kelly (3-2) in what many are predicting to steal the show on the professional side of the card.

 

“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) atRyan 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) parisukat off laban Magbiro Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

 

A women’s fight will also be featured on the amateur card withAlex Walker (0-1) nakaharap Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 sa “NEF XVII” last month with her “Labanan ng Gabi” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Mag-iwan ng komento

Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 8, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Ang Viking” Erickson (4-4) ay naka-iskedyul na upang matugunan 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 (BAGONG) kaanib – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Huling buwan, 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. “Sa aking huling labanan, 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,” Si said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better.

MILITARY VETERAN IN BATTLE OF NATIONAL HONOR AT NEF XVIII

Mag-iwan ng komento

Para sa agarang Paglabas na: Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 6, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, 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. Ang isang 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) nakaraang buwan sa “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 bilang isang propesyonal. 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.

Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the fight card. It will be the fifth amateur title awarded on the Hunyo 13 kard. The bout will feature Johnny Craft (3-0) going one-on-one with Jeff Watts (5-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.

 

Voted the “Rookie of the Year” para 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 (BAGONG) – 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, Hunyo 13 will be his debut in the NEF cage. Watts is known internationally as writer “Karmaatemycat” on 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! Manalo, lose, or draw–it’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.”

Para sa agarang Paglabas na: Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 1, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Bilang-isang rehiyonal na pag-promote labanan America, ay humawak nito walo mixed-martial-arts (MMA) pangyayari, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” sa Sabado, Hunyo 13, 2015 sa Androscoggin Bank Colisee sa Lewiston, Maine. Mas maaga sa araw na ito, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the fight card. The bout will feature Corey Hinkley (2-3) laban sa Cory Pagsubok (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 Hunyo 13.

 

“When Cory walked into my gym, I knew I had something special,” Sabi ni 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.”

 

“Nasasabik akong para sa paglaban,” exclaimed Trial. “Excited to get another chance to show people who I am as a fighter. Huling oras, I was overwhelmed with the lights and the crowd. Oras na ito, 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!”
