YOUNG FEMALE ATHLETES LOOK TO MAKE THEIR MARK AT NEF 27

Lewiston, Maine (Desember 14, 2016) -New England Berst (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Febrúar 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Fyrr í dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bout to the card. Alex Walker (2-1) makes her return to Lewiston to take on the debuting Katie Baker (0-0) in a strawweight matchup.

 

24-year-old Alex Walker has appeared twice previously in the NEF cage. Walker debuted in the spring of 2015 á “NEF 17against Randi Beth Boyington (1-3). She returned earlier this year to defeat Nicole Burgess (0-1) with a third-round armbar. This past summer, she captured her first regional title on a fight card in Vermont. Walker is a member of Team Kaze based in Lancaster, New Hampshire.

 

I can’t wait to get back to work in the NEF cage,” exclaimed Walker. “2017 is going to be a good year and I am looking forward to entertaining the great fans in Maine! I can’t think of a better way to start the year. The two times I have fought in Maine, they were both FOTN, looking to Threepeat!”

 

Katie Baker, an 18-year-old from Gardiner, Maine, might be new to the NEF cage, but she is well-known within martial arts circles in the Pine Tree State. Baker began training in combat sports at the age of five. She won the Isshinryu World Karate Championship in 2009 og 2013, and has been a practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu for seven years, regularly taking part in local tournaments. Fyrr á þessu ári, Baker began competing in amateur boxing. She currently trains with Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.

 

I’m really looking forward to the opportunity to square off against Alex Walker at ‘NEF 27,'said Baker. “I have a high level of respect for Alex and her accomplishments. We’re not taking her lightly, and this is going to be a hell of a fight for my debut.

FIGHT WEEK FOR ‘BELLATOR 169’ IN DUBLIN HAS ARRIVED

 

NEW WOMEN’S FEATHERWEIGHT FIGHT ADDED TO THE LAST EVENT OF THE YEAR

SANTA MONICA, CALIF (Desember 12, 2016) – After an incredible year that saw Bellator MMA host events in international territories all around the globe, it is only fitting that the promotion’s year-ending event, "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii," fer fram á þessu Föstudagur, Desember 16 at the 3Arena in Dublin, Írland.

 

Shortly after her fight against Helen Harper (4-1) was announced, Bruna Vargas (2-1) has withdrawn from the bout due to injury. Harper will be paid her show money and a new women’s featherweight bout has been added to the SPIKE-televised card between undefeated fighters Sinead Kavanagh (3-0) og Elina Kallionidou (5-0).

 

The Spike-televised main card will be highlighted by a heavyweight main event pitting “King Mo” (19-5, 1 NC) against Olympic Judo Gold Medalist Satoshi Ishii (14-6-1). Að auki, a pair of anticipated featherweight scraps will see Anthony Taylor (1-1) look to quiet the crowd as he enters enemy territory to challenge Northern Ireland’s James Gallagher (4-0) og, Írlandi Brian Moore(9-4) take on the always-game Daniel Weichel (37-9).

Miðar "Bellator 169: King Mo vs. Ishii” are on sale now and start at 35€ at Bellator.com, Ticketmaster.ie and the 3Arena Box Office. The event can be seen free on SPIKE at 9 p.m. OG/8 p.m. CT, and will be immediately followed by "Bellator kickboxing: Florence.”

 

Fighting out of Straight Blast Gym (SBG) í Dublin, “KO” Kavanagh has fought all three of her professional bouts with BAMMA, and has earned her nickname bye scoring two knockouts in her first three fights. Kavanagh fought in BAMMA’s first-ever women’s fight, and ended her opponent’s night in just 17 sekúndur. Originally slated to compete in a bantamweight fight against Eeva Siiskonen (5-4-2) on the BAMMA portion of this co-promoted night of fights, Kavanagh now moves up in weight to face Kallionidou under the Bellator banner.

 

Á aðeins 18 ára, Kallionidou has already made a name for herself in her home country Greece, where she holds the Cage Survivor women’s featherweight title. Incredibly, “Gunner” started her professional career off with a bang, scoring a first-round TKO just a month after her 16th afmæli. Síðan þá, the Greek fighter has gone 5-0, með þremur rothöggi. The fight this Friday night, will be her first fight outside of Greece.

THE BLACK WIDOW AND THE BLACK BELT; FIRST WOMEN’S FIGHT ANNOUNCED FOR NEF 26

Lewiston, Maine (Október 6, 2016) – New England Berst (NEF) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 26: SUPREMACY,” á laugardag, Nóvember 19 at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee. Fyrr í dag, NEF executives announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight women’s bout to the fight card. JessicaThe Black WidowBorga (2-2) returns to Maine to take on Brianne Genschel (0-0) á slagsmálum þyngd 135 pund.

 

Borga made her NEF cage debut last month against Rachael Joyce (2-0). She traveled more than 1500 miles from Lakeland, Florida for the fight. While Borga was on the losing end of a unanimous decision to Joyce, she realizes that the most important part of her amateur career is gaining experience through taking tough fights.

 

I’m not slowing down anytime soon,” said Borga, “and love to take on any challenges and get better each fight. The more experience the better! So thankful for the girls that are stepping up to fight! I’m ready to put on an amazing show.

 

Brianne Genschel, while making her in-cage debut atNEF 26,is a longtime practitioner of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) in which she holds a black belt. She is a BJJ instructor at The Foundry in Farmington, Maine. Genschel also trains with, and will represent, First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine. Like her opponent, she promises an exciting fight for the fans on Nóvember 19.

 

I’m really looking forward to stepping into the cage for my first fight with NEF, and especially against such an established opponent,” said Genschel. “I can’t wait to represent my teams- Foundry BJJ and First Class MMA. I have been training hard for this opportunity, and promise to put on a good show and leave it all in the cage!”

FROM MAINE TO FLORIDA, FINDING FIGHTS IS THE CHALLENGE FOR FEMALE MMA ATHLETES

 

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (September 4, 2016) – Rachael Joyce has her civil engineering degree from the University of Maine. Jessica Borga is a veterinary technician from Lakeland, Florida.

Read those one-line biographies of the two women and they probably do not fit whatever is your personal profile of a mixed-martial-artist. And perhaps that presumption, and maybe a lingering societal bias against female fighters, is the reason Joyce and Borga have struggled mightily to find opponents in their corners of the country.

Each woman will end what is almost a one-year hiatus from the cage when Joyce (1-0) welcomes Borga (2-1) to Maine in a bantamweight bout at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains.” New England Fights returns to its hub venue, Androscoggin Bank Colisee, á Laugardagur, September 10.

“I’ve had one fight, í október síðastliðnum. I’ve found it really hard to find fights. It’s just tough. Maine doesn’t have the population density for it. It’s just hard to find that pool of fighters,” Joyce said. “Early in your career you want to build that experience close to home. It’s the best thing for your whole team, given the commitment that is involved.”

Joyce, who lives in the Penobscot County village of Veazie, splits her training time between Bangor, Portland and Boston.

The competitive grass is no greener for Borga, who is known to her fans as “The Black Widow” and is coached by Ross Kellin.

“My coach has scheduled fights for me that have fallen through. I was supposed to fight eight times this year, and this will be my first one.

Borga was beaten badly in her previous bout, a November 2015 clash against Caitlin Sammons for which she weighed in at 126.5 £, just above the flyweight limit.

She said that women feel added pressure to make drastic weight cuts due to the lack of available fight opportunities, and in her case it was especially dangerous.

“I learned that I will never fight at 125 aftur,” Borga said “It was my own fault. I lost 25 £ in two weeks. I was sick in camp, and I fought sick.”

Before the episode was over, Borga was hospitalized twice with strep throat, a kidney infection and a bladder infection.

“I do believe (the weight cut) was part of it,” she said. “You’re putting that strain on your body and your mind. My mental game struggled with what I had to put myself through. I think it’s harder for women, also. I won’t ever do that again. I learned that it’s better to withdraw than to take a loss.”

Borga has experienced no such issues in this camp. She said her energy level is way up and that she can train harder for longer periods of time.

She also is eager to visit from the Sunshine State, an eagerness that isn’t lost on her opponent.

“When an opponent is flying up from Florida, that’s exciting,” Joyce said. “It shows that she’s really committed to it. It is hard to find opponents who are as committed as you are.”

Both women are BJJ blue belts. Joyce has trained in the discipline for more than two years.

It is an extension of her childhood, when she played three varsity sports in each year of high school. She joked that she strongly considered a fourth.

“I was always the girl who tried to convince my parents to let me play football,” Joyce said. “They would not hear any of it. I’m sure they’re thrilled that their 20-something-year-old daughter is now a fighter. Gera ekki, they’re supportive, but now it’s my decision.”

Joyce never tried individual sports before the combat realm, but she quickly developed into a fan of women’s MMA as it exploded in popularity at the UFC level.

“Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey were coming up, og þá (UFC president) Dana White had his famous line that ‘there will never be women in UFC,” Joyce said. “I saw what they were doing and I said, ‘I can do that. I’m going to do that.’”

Now the women wait for a spike in female participation that has not appeared to follow the success of those international role models.

Joyce said she received invitations to fight in New Jersey earlier this year but that those, also, would have required an uncomfortable cut to a same-day weigh-in of 125 or even 115 £.

So she retreated into a game of train-and-wait. Thanks to the like-minded, equally fight-challenged Borga, the wait is almost over.

“I’ve always loved MMA, always loved fighting. I guess I was known for that as a kid. Everybody who knows me always pushed me to get into this,” Borga said. “I tried eight years ago and found out right away that I was pregnant, so that put a stop to it. When my son turned five, Ég sagði, ‘It’s now or never.’ I started training and developed really fast. My coaches said I had a knack for it.”

Opnun bjalla á September 10 er sett fyrir 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes four professional boxing matches, six pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps. Miðasala byrjar á $25 og eru í boði á www.TheColisee.com eða með því að hringja í Colisee kassi skrifstofu á 207.783.2009, framlenging 525.

A former Strikeforce Women’s Bantamweight Champion, Marloes Coenen, is riding a two-fight winning streak and undefeated record under the Bellator MMA fray into her bout with Dufresne. “Rumina” began her career winning eight consecutive fights and 13 of her first 14. The 35-year-old has been competing professionally since 2000 and has been an integral part of the progression of women’s mixed martial arts, challenging some of the best that the sport has to offer. Nú, it’s back to the drawing board for the Dutch submission specialist when she looks to spoil the Bellator MMA debut of Alexis Dufresne.

The 25-year-old Alexis Dufresne began her career with a blazing start, earning victories in her first five scraps, all of which she ended in the first round. Born in Temecula, Calif., “Sneaky Zebra” has strung together an impressive resume, including three straight first round knockout wins dating back to her 2013-14 seasons and most recently two appearances for the UFC.

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffing” White!

wtf

By: Rich Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, eins, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, eða sue me for $25 milljónir. Sometimes I may take things like that as a sign you might not want me to really find out who you are and what you do behind closed doors to screw hard working people over.

This week, a certain individual who won’t even let me follow him in Twitter (https://twitter.com/danawhite) pissed me off to the point where I could only think of one thing to do. Because I’m officially blacklisted in every possible way by the UFC brass, and have even had restraining orders placed against my directly contacting the Fertittas and ANY UFC fighter, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call myOPEN FUto DanaEffing” White.

I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Svo, I will have to settle for a written FUand a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.

FU, DanaEffing” White… for many, many reasonstoo many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….

For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm

Hey, Dana, you wanna talk about youreffingreality showLooking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old realityshit show when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.

Nú, you, DANAEFFINGWHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? And now you act like someone pissed in your Wheaties because you have two upset wins at UFC 196 to work around and figure out how to make sense of somehow.

Booeffinghoo, buddy.

Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.

Do you wanna be aneffing” Forgöngumaður, Danaeffing” White???

Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Danaeffing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, of) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guesseffingwhat, Dana? She wanted to fight.

Sorry, DanaEffing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on aneffingsideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish hereffingROADHOUSE REMAKE!

Holly wanted to go to workbut unfortunately she has to work for a boss who has no idea what it’s like to step into HER office and handle HER daily workload with such tenacity, flokkur, dignity and grace.

And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with noeffingregrets whatsoever for putting her absolute all into that fight and just plain getting caught in her one area of weakness in a battle where she likely would have won a three-round fight. Maybe if YOU were a fighter, Dana, you might get that whole concept. Maybe losing in this case only makes her better, sterkari, and more durable as a career mixed martial artist. Who gives a damn if it makes her less marketable in your eyes? What do you really know, samt?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Já, she lost, but damn, she was absolutely correct about it being a challenge. I think the fight will go down as one of the greatest battles in female MMA history.

Nú, why don’t you open youreffingeyes, Dana, watch the fight again, and quit bitching about what should have happened in that cage you never fought in yourself.

Be grateful you have a champion you just paid $92,000 in fight pay (before bonuses) to take your organization’s belt from the girl you WANTED TO WIN (and paid $500,000 just to be there). It may not be what you expected, but the anxiety you feel about it is what you DESERVE to feel for being such a douchebag to the fighters who built the UFC.

My biggest questions on this subject for Dana are: Why are you such a biased, crooked asshole who can’t bother to give Miesha the time of day FOR ALL HER HARD WORK? Why can’t you give credit where it is dueon both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut theeffup about what you think Holly or her management should have or could have waited for?

It’s not your place to look back with 20/20 hindsight and act like Holly and her manager should have gone all Nostradamus on this fight when you obviously didn’t see this shit coming, annaðhvort, you dome-headed dimwit.

Bardagamenn “effing” berjast, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Já, that was many moons ago, but how could you forget?

Fighters don’t sit on their asses on corporate jets and stand at podiums in front of the press all day to earn theeffingpaltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someoneworthyenough in your eyes to step up and fight them.

Some fighters need to feed their kids. All of them need to pay their bills and for everything else involved with training camps, daily living expenses, travel and whatever costs medical insurance doesn’t cover when they have to address nagging injuries. Your shitty Reebok deal made it virtually impossible to get any other outside sponsors to help pay for anything like that stuff for many fighters, Dana.

Welcome to selling out and forgetting where you came from, Dana. You used to care more about fighters. Now you act like fighting in a cage is just like doing any other 9-5 starf. It’s not. Það er “effinghard work.

Svo, já, Holly chose to fight instead of waiting for Rousey to be ready for the rematch. And you think she needs your opinion now that everything didn’t work out as planned for you both?

FU, Dana.

She hurts a lot worse than you, and I can guaran-effing-tee that.

Oh…og…við the vegur…fighters are way more responsible for the growth and success of the UFC/Zuffa organization than you ever have been. And that’s real talk, you rich bitch with a stick up your ass because you were never good enough in your life to ever have your own official fight.

Svo, get over the God complex and learn to respect ALL of your fighters, not just the ones you want to see win because you might think you can work with them better or you think they will move the organization in a better direction. Respect the effort, the sacrifice and the pain ALL your fighters go through each and every day to get where they get. That belt you put on Miesha’s waist was EARNED, and don’t you ever think it iseffingcool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tatea mistake.

It rings hollow, especially when I would consider that handing you a microphone to talk about MMA at all was THE greatest mistake the sport ever made, tímabil! Anyone who would try to knock a former champion down a peg that way in his own organization does not deserve to be recognized as that organization’s president.

You have no clue what it’s really like to fight, and your criticism of Holly Holm tells me you can never possibly understand the mindset that led her to take the Tate fight and not wait an idle year for RondaeffingRousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.

Svo, FU Dana White for treating your former champ like she’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to control her own career without you butting your stupid, bald head into it. Holly’s fine without your advice, and she trusts her manager, which might be something you’re not familiar with, but for other people it is actually a reality of doing business with legitimate people.

 

FU, Dana for being a piss-poor ambassador for the sport, disrespecting fighters who bleed (and sometimes suffer lifelong injuries) for you and the sport, and totally underestimating and failing to grasp what it really takes to actually be a professional fighter who actually competes against other fighters

Do you remember the days when you had to settle for being a lowly boxercise instructor because your boxing trainer Boston slapped you too hard in the ear once? You never had a single competitive fight in your life, Danaeffing” White, and that’s a DOCUMENTED FACT!

Do you ever even look back at those days before the silver-spoon-fed Fertittas helped you claw your greedy, selfish, egotistical ass into the position of OFFICIAL UFC MOUTHPIECE?

Do you remember those hairy days when you blew through $40 million of Fertitta funds to perpetrate theZuffa Mythwhile claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulated all by youreffingselves? As if not a single FIGHTER nor any other industry professional who pioneered MMA before you dipped your greedy little paws into it had anything to do with it?

Your Mom remembers thosecoulda been a contender” daga, Dana..when you thought you might be able to have an actual fight with another human being. Your own mother remembers even though you and one of your sleazy friends tried to silence her, BASH HER ONLINE, and even blacklist her BOOK, of.

Do you remember the days when even Floyd Mayweather, Jr. thought you were cool, back when your daily driver was aneffingHonda, Dana? Floyd Remembers. He knew you long before you could afford to blow a normal person’s yearly pay on a single hand of poker.

You’re in a different place now, Danaeffing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, heiðarlega, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffing” bardagamaður? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

Þú veist what A FIGHTER is, don’t you, Dana? A fighter is a man or woman who has the courage to willingly step into unarmed combat against another actual man or woman instead of just criticizing up and down the guys and girls who do have the guts to actually stand across from another human being while knowing and internalizing that the accepted goal is to physically destroy each other.

A fighter, in more simple terms, er “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, Danaeffing” White, I know fighters, og YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, Danaeffing” White, and you nevereffing” mun vera. You are too weak, both physically and mentally. Until we see you go through a six-week training camp and then get into the cage against someone and kick his ass, we shouldn’t have to listen to one damncoulda,” “shoulda,” eða “wouldaout of your cornfed mouth about what you think of any particular fighter’s performance or decision making process. Those people have the guts to do what you will NEVER do yourself, and you ought to respect that.

FU Dana WhiteFor not recognizing Real Fighters Like Miesha Tate and Nate Diaz who keep at it no matter what and NEVER seem to earn your ULTIMATE RESPECT….

Nate Diaz stepped up to fight Conor McGregor for a reason. He had nothing to lose, and he wasn’t intimidated one bit. He famoulsy went on television with Fox Sports 1 on a split screen with Conor before that welterweight fight and quipped that his nemesis had already been choked out before, “by two lames.Diaz also had the perfect instinct to add humourously that McGregor’s choke losses happened, “like a week ago.

Diaz beat Conor in the shit-talk game long before he ever slapped him down and slipped that choke around his neck in the cage. The media created by that freakshow fight might have stopped the unchecked rise of your big, bold, six-headed dragon champion, but it created a new monster at the same time. And he’s a Reebok-hating, scowling, swearing, Stockton-slapping Mother-F$#king BEAST who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about what he does or says.

You might think Diaz and his attitude arebad for business,” but I think his victory was the best thing that could ever happen to all you smug punks running the UFC. It just proves once and for all that you do not control the MMA universe.

Nate Diaz went without respect and credit for being an MMA pioneer and a good UFC soldier for far too long. The bitterness brewed and boiled within him, and I loved every second of him letting it pour out in post-fight interviews after he choked the shit out of Conor until the Irish bloke tapped theeffout and left Dana White drooling in a stupor at the thought of having to congratulate a man who’s become more of a mortal enemy than a member of the bigteam.

More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight DanaeffingWhite’s flamboyant fire with even more bravado and brash talk of their own. They can always say, “I learned it by watching you, Baldfather!”

As for Miesha Tate, she deserves true respect and admiration for being champ now after picking herself off the mat twice in the face of grueling losses to Rousey. Kudos to Tate for continuing her career and relentlessly focusing on getting by that Rousey armbar once and for all.

Though Miesha never did solve that Rousey submission dilemma, trying at all costs to get another crack at the belt paid dividends at UFC 196. Her never quit attitude led her to an opportunity of a lifetime, and she capitalized on it. Nú, Dana, you actually have to pay this young lady what most of her fans would say she was worth a long time ago.

And now you simply have to treat Tate with a bit of reverence and appreciation for once in your ungrateful life, Danaeffing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybe she touched a nerve when she called you out in the past for being the true clueless and disrespectful prick you really are. She was right, and you were wrong about how great she really is at fighting. Then again, weren’t you also WRONG about women fighting in the cage, tímabil?

Svo, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Mr. White? Then step aside and let the people who DO wanna be fighters go to battle for you so you can ride around the world on your jet and act like you know what theeffyou’re talking about when you stand in front of a microphone to describe the sport’s true athletes and what they do to make a living in mixed martial arts.

The line from Dana that most stands out to me as comblete BS in this whole debacle is this one:

“He’s an old boxing guy who thinks he’s smart and he isn’t,” White said of Fresquez [Holm’s Manager]. “I feel bad for Holly because I don’t know if she really knows what she lost.”

I have only two moreeffingquestions for you Danaeffing” White…

1.) What makes you think you are really in anyeffingposition to EVER know or understand what Holly Holm lost the other night? Aside from a few bad poker hands and tons of respect, the only thing you ever lost is your mind.

2.) Doesn’t your backhanded quote about Holm’s manager describe your own shitty character a whole lot better than that of Mr. Fresquez?

OG…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:

Konur drottna MMA Cage AT NEF XIX í Lewiston

Lewiston, Maine (Ágúst 31, 2015) - New England Berst (NEF), Ameríku tala-einn svæðisbundin berjast kynningu, mun halda sína nítjándu blönduð Martial-list (MMA) atburður, “NEF XIX,” á laugardag, September 12, 2015 á Androscoggin Bank Colisée í Lewiston, Maine. Á bardaga spilinu verða tvö áhugamannakeppni. Angela Young (0-0) af MMA Young í Bangor er áætlað að gera frumraun sína gegn Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) frá liði Sityodtong. Liðsfélagi Young Kira Innocenti (0-0) er einnig áætlað að gera frumraun sína gegn Hannah Sparrell (0-0) frá First Class MMA í Brunswick.

 

Angela Young er eiginkona Chris Young – eigandi og stofnandi Young’s MMA. Hún lítur á frumraun sína sem leið til að prófa sjálfa sig.

 

“Það er mikilvægt fyrir mig að prófa sjálfan mig,” sagði Young, “ekki aðeins í búrinu komaSeptember 12, en einnig í gegnum bardagann sem hefur átt sér stað síðustu átta vikurnar fram að NEF atburðinum. Mér finnst bardaginn í meginatriðum vera sýningarskápur og framsetning erfiðra æfinga og endalausra tíma í líkamsræktarstöðinni sem fram fór fyrir bardagakvöldið. Að lifa MMA lífsstílnum fyrir mig þýddi meira en breytingar á mataræði og strangar þjálfunaráætlanir. Íþróttalega, það var meira um viðvarandi gegnum hindranir og þrýsta takmörk mín sem keppandi á þann hátt sem ekki hefir verið prófuð. Það var um að sanna að mér, þjálfarar mínir og liðsfélagar mínir sem ég hef unnið rétt minn til að stíga í búrinu.”

 

Hvar á undanförnum konur hafa verið relegated að Aukasýning og nýjung hluta Bardagaíþróttir atburðum, eins box, MMA kvenna hefur ekki aðeins hækkað að jafna stöðu með MMA karla, það hefur, að sumu leyti, fór fram úr því. Maður verður aðeins að horfa á hæsta stig íþróttarinnar til að sjá þessa þróun. Bardagar kvenna eru nú venjulega til staðar á helstu spilum Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Efsta stjarna kynningarinnar, íþróttamaður og þess launahæsti, er kvenna sinni fyrir bantamweight meistari Ronda Rousey (12-0). Konurnar sem keppa í september 12 kortið verður að vera í fararbroddi á hreyfingu til að auka tækifæri kvenna í héraði.

 

“MMA fyrir konur er ekki gríðarlega öðruvísi en það er fyrir karlmenn,” fram Young. “Vitanlega, MMA er aðallega karlkyns íþrótt, en vel heppnaðar konur í MMA heiminum eru að aukast. Með þessari baráttu búðum sem ég hef glímt, sparred og glímdi við Young MMA berjast lið og þeir hafa verið unrelentingly stuðningsmeðferð. Að vera einn af fyrstu kvenkyns bardagamenn úr Young vissulega hefur þrýstingi sínum (auk þess að vera giftur Mr. Young) en það er líka kastljós sem ég vona að muni veita öðrum konum innblástur sem annars hefðu ekki sótt MMA. Ég myndi veðja að kvennabaráttan 12. september verður ekki ólík þeim sem við höfum séð á fyrri NEF viðburðum. Ég býst konurnar til að setja á a mikill sýning vegna þess að við höfum eitthvað til að sanna. Ég hef sett blóð, svita og tár í þjálfun og þú trúir betra að ég er hrokafullur andstæðinga mína gert það sama. Það að segja, konur eru að fara að koma eftir það að planta hlut þeirra í NEF búrinu.”

 

Liðsfélagi bæði Young, Kira Innocenti, sem hefur andstæðingi sínum á “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, virðast sammála með útsýni Young á örum vexti MMA kvenna.

 

“MMA kvenna er að aukast,” Said Innocenti. “Hver agi kennir konu eitthvað sem hún veit ekki um sjálfa sig. Ég hef séð það að byggja upp traust á sjálfan mig og margir aðrir. Því fleiri konur á mottum, betri. Aðdáendur geta búist við liðsfélaga mínum, Angie, og mig til að gefa það okkar allt og fara í stríð rétt eins og karlkyns stríðsmaður á MMA Young gera. Við höfum unnið hörðum höndum að tákna ræktina okkar. Við munum berjast með stolti, ástríða, og með sterkasta horn að leita út fyrir okkur. Ég get fullvissað þig um að lota kvenna verður ógleymanlegt.”

 

“MMA kvenna er íþrótt bara eins og allir aðrir,” fram Reinheimer af Everett, Massachusetts. “Það er ekki aðgerð bíómynd þar sem hetjan rennur út í skóg í þrjá daga til að æfa með bardagalistir húsbóndi og þá sigraði heilt her. Það er ekki bar brawl. Það er ekki aftur sundið fyrirsát. Þessar konur eru alvarlegar íþróttamenn sem æfa iðinn í mörg ár með bestu þjálfun, búnað og úrræði. Konur sem keppa í Bardagaíþróttir eyða þúsundum klukkustunda blóði, svita og tár fullkomna íþrótt sína. Þeir gera fórnir. Ennfremur, það eru reglur og tímamörk og varúðarráðstafanir. Þegar einhver er ókunnur með the hugmynd af MMA kvenna, Ég bera saman það til box eða girðinga, eitthvað annað sem fólk þekkir betur. Sundlaug kvennakappanna á Nýja Englandi dýpkar hratt og sú staðreynd að það eru fleiri kvennabardaga á bardaga spil endurspeglar það. Andstæðingurinn minn og ég erum báðir frá alvarleg, hardworking vinnubúðir. Við erum bæði mæður og það tekur a einhver fjöldi af áræðni og að gera þessa íþrótt en juggling vinnu og börn. Ég hef verið að vinna sleitulaust með liðinu mínu frá síðasta baráttu mína til að bæta leik minn í hverjum þætti. Ég er svo þakklát fyrir ótrúlega þjálfun og teammates á Sityodtong að ýta mér svo erfitt. September 12, þú getur búist við stríð.”

 

Flestir einstaklingar, bæði karlar og konur, sem ganga í líkamsræktarstöðvar MMA gera það ekki í upphafi og ætla að verða virkur búrakappi. Á hverjum degi, maður getur gengið inn í hvaða MMA líkamsræktarstöð sem er og fundið fjölbreyttan fjölda nemenda. Menn og konur, gamla og unga, blár kraga og hvíta kraga, allir þjálfa hlið við hlið. Flestir munu aldrei stíga fæti í búr fyrir þúsundum öskrandi aðdáenda. Flestir eru til að koma sér í form eða læra sjálfsvörn. Sumt, þó, ert bitinn af samkeppni galla.

 

“Ég var kynnt MMA heiminum eftir að ég skrái dóttur mína upp fyrir Jiu Jitsu tímar hugsa að það væri gagnlegt að henni fyrir sjálfsvörn þætti sem taka þátt í íþróttum,” muna Hanna Sparrell. “Ég horfði eins og hún féll í ást með leikinn, öðlast styrk og sjálfstraust, og var fljótur að ákveða að það væri eitthvað sem ég þyrfti að vera að gera líka. Það leið ekki á löngu áður en ég varð ástfanginn af Jiu Jitsu sjálfur, og þá á endanum vildi kanna aðra þætti MMA heiminum. Tilvera í ræktina hefur orðið annað heimili fyrir mig og dóttur mína, samstarfsaðila þjálfun minni, önnur fjölskylda. Það er próf á hverjum degi sem ég geng um dyrnar í ræktinni, það er próf á íþróttum, auk próf andlega og tilfinningalega akstur. Frá því að vera kynnt fyrir Mixed Martial Arts heiminum ég hef sett líkama minn, Hjarta, og sál í þjálfun, og keppa í þessi svipan er mikilvægt fyrir mig fyrir mörgum ástæðum, ekki aðeins til að tákna mig og vinnusemi mína, en einnig til að tákna alla vinnu, vígslu, og hvatning sem ég hef fengið frá vinum mínum, leiðbeinendur, þjálfun samstarfsaðila, og samherjar á leiðinni. Mér finnst MMA þjálfun fyrir konur vera frábær útrás af mörgum ástæðum, það er líkamlega frábær líkamsþjálfun, og er líka góð mynd af "meðferð" í lok hugsanlega streituvaldandi dag. Ég hef margar konur sem ég æfa með, ekki minna en þá ætlar áfram að berjast, en ávinningur af íþróttum eru enn þarna, og þeir elska það bara það sama.”

 

Innocenti, eins og margir, tók þátt í baráttunni íþróttum sem leið til að komast í, og vera í, lögun. Lítið vissi hún þegar ferð hennar hófst fyrir tveimur árum að það myndi taka hana inn í MMA búr þar sem þúsundir fylgdust með henni keppa.

 

“Prófa mig í blönduðum bardagalistir lota er mikilvægt fyrir mig um margt. Tveimur árum síðan, Ég var of þung og í erfiðleikum með að finna heilbrigt, uppfylla slóð. Einn daginn, Ég vaknaði og tók líf með ríkir og í hálft ár, missti sextíu pund á mína eigin. Ég fagnaði þeirri áskorun, tekist, og vildi annar. Aaron “Hörð” Lacey sagði mér um MMA Young og ég var þvingaður til að stöðva það út. Eftir stepping í gegnum dyrnar, prófa allar flokkum, og mæta fjölskyldu sem gerði það svo sérstakt, Ég var boginn. Ég gerði það að markmiði að vera einn af fyrstu kvenkyns bardagamenn á að öllum líkindum mest ríkjandi berjast lið í New England. Ég hef alltaf verið keppandi. Mér finnst gaman að ögra sjálfum mér og ýta takmörk sem eru talin vera ómögulegt að ná. Lifa blönduð bardagalistir lífsstíl er sterkur. Það þarf meira vígslu en ég ímyndað alltaf hægt. Það brýtur þig og byggir þig aftur upp í mann sem þú ert sannarlega. Þessi barátta er mikilvægt vegna þess að ég hef verið spillt með ótrúlega lið við hlið mér sem er kennt af the hvetjandi og uppörvandi þjálfarar. Ég er staðráðinn í að gera þá stolt og þakka þeim með hendinni að vera alinn upp.”

 

“Mixed Martial Arts er fullkominn próf mannsandans á hverju stigi: líkamlega, andlega, og tilfinningalega,” sagði Reinheimer. “Ég hef brennandi löngun til að vita hversu langt ég get farið. Mér finnst gaman að fara fram úr væntingum og þrýsta á mín mörk og það er MMA í hnotskurn. Síðan ég byrjaði að æfa í bardagaíþróttum, líf mitt hefur orðið mörk-minna. Líf mitt á mat hefur batnað líf mitt af motta og öfugt. Það er sviptur burt öll óþarfa truflun og eimað líf mitt til hvað raunverulega skiptir máli, inn og út úr hringnum. Mér finnst eins og það hefur hjálpað mér að verða miklu nær ekta sjálf mitt. Það er það besta af fornu bardagalistir og nútíma lífi.”

 

Af þeim fjórum konum berjast á “NEF XIX” kort, aðeins Reinheimer hefur tekið virkan þátt í fortíðinni. Hún drottnaði yfir andstæðingi sínum síðastliðið vor á leið sinni til samhljóða sigurs í ákvörðun í frumraun sinni. Allar konurnar sem börðust í september 12 í Lewiston eru spennt fyrir tækifærið.

 

“NEF er solid kynningu með mikla mannorð,” sagði Reinheimer. “Ég var áhorfandi á fyrsta bardagakortinu þeirra aftur inn 2012. Ég elska Maine og mannfjöldinn er æðislegur þar. Ég get ekki beðið!”

 

“Ég held að stuðningsmennirnir geti búist við mikilli sýningu örugglega,” Hrópaði Sparrell. “Oftar en ekki berst kvenna hafa reynst mjög skemmtilegur, við viljum að sjálfsögðu að sanna sig verðug í þessum áberandi karlar íþrótt. Þetta er frumraun fyrir þremur af fjórum konum á þessu spjaldi, svo ég veit að það er að fara til vera a einhver fjöldi af hjarta og ákvörðun kastað þessum slagsmálum. Ég veit, persónulega, Ég er mjög spenntur að tákna! Ég gæti ekki verið spenntari fyrir því að taka frumraun mína í MMA í NEF búrinu; Ég hef horft á svo mörg bardagamenn ég idolize og líta upp til í þessari íþrótt frá stendur á Androscoggin Bank Colisee, hafa tækifæri til að hafa vera þarna úti með þeim raunverulega er sannkallaður heiður.”

 

“Eins September 12 hratt nálgast, Ég er að verða meira spenntur og tilbúinn til að fá í búrinu,” sagði Young. “Þetta hefur verið nokkuð ferðalag og ég er þakklátur fyrir það tækifæri að gera mitt áhugamaður MMA frumraun með NEF.”

 

“Ég er himinlifandi að gera MMA frumraun mína með NEF 12. september,” Said Innocenti. “Ég hef unnið sleitulaust að fá þetta tækifæri og ég er spenntur að tími sé kominn.”

Serrano with the WBO title
Tveggja tíma heimsmeistari, Amanda Serrano (24-1-1, 18 Rothögg) frá Puerto Rico, og hennar þjálfari / framkvæmdastjóri, Jordan Maldonado telja það mjög disrespectful fyrir box samfélag, athugasemdir sem gerðar eru af Edmond Tarverdyan, þjálfari á UFC heimsmeistari, Ronda Rousey í www.mmafighting.com.
“Ég veit að hún getur gert það,” Tarverdyan sagði MMA Fighting, “Ég veit að hún getur unnið box heiminum titil. Ronda spars með box heimsmeistarar að kýla leið erfiðara en Cyborg,”, Tarverdyan bætti einnig að, “Ronda hefur aldrei tapað hring ræktina. A umferð. Með box heimsmeistarar”.
“Ákveðið þjálfari Rousey er hefur ekki neina þekkingu um íþrótt af hnefaleikar. Hún er mjög góð bardagamaður í Octagon, og ég óska ​​virkilega henni fyrir allt sem hún hefur gert. Andstæðingar hennar geta ekki kassa og það er auðvelt að líta vel út en þegar frammi fyrir hágæða Boxer með gata vald sem mér, trúðu mér, hlutir eru ađ breyta. Í box hringur, striga verður Comfort Zone”.
Um baráttu Rousey á síðasta laugardagur, þar sem hún sigraði Bethe Correia í 34 sekúndur, Serrano sagði, “Sem box sjónarmiði, hún leit út eins og nýliði áhugamaður bardagamaður, henda mjög breiður kýla án cordination. Ég heyrði að Cyborg er ekki tilbúin að koma niður á léttur deild til að berjast Ronda, en ég get farið upp í 135, og við getum setjast a box leik svo ég geti sannað þjálfari hennar rangt. Ég fór einu sinni upp í léttur deild, og ferðast til Argentínu fyrir titli heimsins berjast. Við lok, niðurstöður var að ég varð alltaf fyrst Puerto Rican kona boxer að handtaka a veröld titill í tveimur þyngdarflokkum flokkum”.
Framkvæmdastjóri Serrano og þjálfari, Jordan Maldonado bent á að “við áskorun ekki aðra berjast stíl. Við fulltrúar box og við viljum fá virðingu. Við eru í boði fyrir allar sparring þeir vilja eða box leik, svo við getum sýnt Edmond Tarverdyan hversu rangt hann er um box”.
Ágúst 15, 2014, Serrano ferðaðist til Argentínu til að takast WBO Léttur heimsmeistari Maria 'Tily’ Maderna, sem á þeim tíma, átti þrjá vel varnir titill, en gat ekki séð um árásargirni á Puerto Rican máttur puncher, sem lauk baráttunni í sjötta umferð með því að knockout.
Með þessu sigri, Serrano varð fyrsti Puerto Rican kona boxer að vinna heiminum titla í tveimur deildum (130-135).
Fyrsti titill Serrano er valdatíma kom í september 2011 þegar hún slegnir út Kimberly Connor í fyrstu umferð til að verða IBF heimsmeistari í frábær featherweight skiptingu.
