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

 

Pikeun ngaleupaskeun Geura: 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, dina Saptu, September 10.

“I’ve had one fight, Oktober panungtungan. 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 kilogram, 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 deui,” Borga said “It was my own fault. I lost 25 kilogram 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. Entong, 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, teras salajengna (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 kilogram.

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, Ieu mah ceuk, ‘It’s now or never.’ I started training and developed really fast. My coaches said I had a knack for it.”

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. Ayeuna, 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. Dufresne will be making her Bellator MMA debut Jumaah saterusna and hopes to get back to her winning ways when she fills in for the absent Julia Budd on short notice.

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffingWhite!

wtf

Ku: Beunghar Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, siga, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, atawa sue me for $25 juta. 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.

Minggu ayeuna, 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 DanaEffingWhite.

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

FU, DanaEffingWhitefor 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.

Ayeuna, 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” Promoter, DanaeffingWhite???

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

Hampura, DanaEffingWhite, 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, kelas, 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, kuat, 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, anyway?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffingWhite, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Hehehehe, 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.

Ayeuna, 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, boh, you dome-headed dimwit.

Pejuang “effing” gelut, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Nuhun, 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 tugas. It’s not. Ieu “effinghard work.

Janten, hehehehe, 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…jeung…ngomong-ngomong…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.

Janten, 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, waktu! 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.

Janten, 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, DanaeffingWhite, 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” poé, 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, oge.

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, DanaeffingWhite, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, jujur, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffingfighter? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

Anjeun terang 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, nyaeta “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, DanaeffingWhite, I know fighters, jeung YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, DanaeffingWhite, and you nevereffing” bakal. 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,” atawa “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. Ayeuna, 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, DanaeffingWhite. 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, waktu?

Janten, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Bapa. 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 DanaeffingWhite

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?

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

Lewiston, Maine (Agustus 31, 2015) - Gelut New England (NEF), Amérika sacara jumlah-hiji promotion fight regional, bakal tahan dicampur-bela diri-seni nineteenth nya (MMA) kajadian, “NEF XIX,” dina dinten saptu, September 12, 2015 di Androscoggin Bank Colisée di Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) of MMA Young di Bangor dijadwalkeun nyieun debut nya ngalawan Rachel Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-0) ogé dijadwalkeun nyieun debut nya ngalawan Hannah Sparrell (0-0) ti Kahiji Kelas MMA di Brunswick.

 

Angela Young nyaéta pamajikan Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.

 

It’s important for me to test myself,” ceuk Young, “teu ngan di kandang datang12 September, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, ieu deui ngeunaan enduring ngaliwatan halangan jeung ngadorong wates mah minangka saingan a dina cara nu geus teu acan diuji. Ieu ngeunaan ngabuktikeun ka sorangan, peringkat pelatih mah teammates mah anu kuring geus earned katuhu mah lengkah dina kandang.”

 

Mana di awewe jaman baheula geus relegated ka sideshow jeung novelty portions of kajadian olahraga tempur, kawas tinju, MMA awewe teu ngan risen ka status sarua jeung MMA lalaki, mibanda, di sababaraha cara, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, jeung atlet pangluhurna anak mayar, nyaeta jawara bantamweight awewe anak sacara Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 kartu bakal di forefront gerak ka dilegakeun kasempetan pikeun awewe di tingkat regional.

 

“MMA for jeung awewe lah teu hugely beda ti eta anu keur lalaki,” nyatakeun Young. “Kalawan atra, MMA nyaéta olahraga utamana jalu, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Ngaliwatan ieu tarung camp kuring geus grappled, sparred jeung wrestled jeung tim tarung Young sacara MMA jeung maranehna geus unrelentingly supportive. Keur salah sahiji pajuang bikang mimiti kaluar ti Young sacara pasti boga tekenan anak (kitu ogé keur nikah ka Bapak. Ngora) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. I nyangka wanoja ditunda pintonan gede sabab urang geus hal ngabuktikeun. Kuring geus nunda getih, ngesang jeung lawon kana latihan jeung anjeun leuwih alus percaya Kaula asumsina lawan mah dipigawé sarua. Nu keur ceuk, wanoja bade datang sanggeus melak stake maranéhanana dina kandang NEF.”

 

Teammate boh Young sacara, Kira Innocenti, ogé geus lawan nya di “NEF XIX,” Rachel Reinheimer, sigana concur jeung pintonan Young ngeunaan tumuwuhna gancang tina MMA awewe.

 

“MMA awewe anu dina gugah,” Said Innocenti. “Unggal disiplin ngajarkeun wanoja hal manéhna teu nyaho ngeunaan sorangan. Kuring geus katempo eta ngawangun kapercayaan di sorangan sarta loba batur. Beuki awewe dina Mats, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, jeung sorangan méré eta urang sadaya tur muka perang kawas nu Galau jalu di MMA Young urang ngalakukeun. Urang geus digawé teuas pikeun ngagambarkeun gym urang. Kami baris bertarung jeung sombong, napsu, jeung jeung juru neneng néangan kaluar pikeun urang. Kuring bisa assure yén bouts nu awewe bakal unforgettable.”

 

“MMA awewe nyaéta olahraga euy kawas mana wae nu séjén,” nyatakeun Reinheimer of Everett, Massachusetts. “Ieu teu an film action mana pahlawan ngalir kaluar ka leuweung salila tilu poé pikeun ngalatih jeung master beladiri terus ngéléhkeun hiji sakabéh tentara. Ieu teu bar tawuran. Ieu teu gang tewak deui. Ieu awewe atlit serius anu ngalatih rajin pikeun taun ngagunakeun latihan pangalusna, alat jeung daya nu aya. Awewe anu berlaga di olahraga tempur méakkeun rébuan jam getih, ngesang jeung lawon perfecting olahraga maranéhanana. Maranéhanana nyieun kurban. Saterusna, aya aturan jeung wates waktu jeung precautions kaamanan. Lamun batur biasa jeung pamanggih MMA awewe, I ngabandingkeun ka tinju atawa Anggar, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Mah lawan mah duanana ti serius, kubu hardworking. Urang boh ibu ibu jeung waktu nu diperlukeun loba tekad jeung drive ulah olahraga ieu bari juggling karya jeung barudak. Mah geus gawe tirelessly jeung team mah saprak fight kapungkur mah pikeun ngaronjatkeun game mah di unggal aspék. Kami jadi bersyukur pikeun latihan endah jeung teammates di Sityodtong nu nyorong kuring jadi teuas. On September 12, Anjeun bisa ngaharepkeun perang.”

 

Paling individu, boh lalaki jeung awewe, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, heubeul jeung ngora, kerah biru jeung kerah bodas, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, kumaha oge, nu bitten ku kutu kompetisi.

 

“I diwanohkeun ka dunya MMA sanggeus Signing putri mah up for kelas jiu jitsu pamikiran eta bakal mangpaat pikeun nya pikeun aspék pertahanan diri aub dina olahraga,” recalled Hanna Sparrell. “I diawaskeun salaku manéhna murag asih kaulinan, gaining kakuatan jeung kapercayaan, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, terus pamustunganana hayang ngajajah aspék séjén dunya MMA. Keur di gym geus jadi imah kadua keur kuring jeung putri mah, mitra latihan mah, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, téh mangrupa test tina athleticism, kitu ogé hiji tes drive mental jeung emosional.

I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, eta fisik ngarupakeun workout gede, jeung ogé mangrupakeun bentuk hade "terapi" di ahir poé jigana stres. Mah geus loba awewe mah ngalatih jeung, teu kabeh nu rarancang dina tarung, tapi mangpaat olahraga masih aya, jeung maranehna cinta wae euy sarua.”

 

Innocenti, kawas loba, jadi aub dina fight olahraga minangka cara pikeun meunangkeun dina, jeung cicing di, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.

 

“Nguji sorangan dina bout beladiri dicampur penting mah loba Wasalam. Dua taun ka tukang, Ieu kaleuwihan beurat jeung berjuang pikeun manggihan cageur, jalur minuhan. Hiji dinten, I bangun jeung nyandak hirup ku reigns jeung di satengah taun, leungit genep puluh pon dina sorangan. I tampi tangtangan nu, hasil, jeung hayang sejen.

Fight ieu penting lantaran geus manja kalawan tim endah ku sisi mah anu diajarkeun ku peringkat pelatih paling motivating jeung encouraging. Kami ditetepkeun nyieun eta reueus jeung hatur sareng leungeun mah keur diangkat.”

 

“Dicampur Seni bela diri nya éta tés pamungkas tina sumanget manusa dina unggal level: fisik, mental, jeung emotionally,” ceuk Reinheimer. “Kuring boga kahayang ngaduruk nyaho sabaraha jauh kuring bisa balik. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, hirup mah geus jadi wates-kurang.

“NEF nyaeta promotion solid jeung reputasi gede,” ceuk Reinheimer. “I was a spectator at their very first fight card back in 2012. I love Maine and the crowd is awesome there. Abdi henteu tiasa ngantosan!”

 

“Jigana fans bisa ngaharepkeun pintonan gede memang,” exclaimed Sparrell. “Leuwih sering ti teu gelut the awewe geus kabuktian jadi pisan entertaining, urang tangtu hayang ngabuktikeun diri urang sorangan pantes di olahraga dipake jalu-didominasi ieu.
