Ortolani has made his mark both in MMA and on the lacrosse field where he has played for several teams in the Major League Lacrosse circuit over the years. Having competed regionally in MMA since 2009, Ortolani made his NEF debut in the fall of 2012 with a submission win over Bruce Boyington (14-11). The upcoming fight with Hall will be Ortolani’s fifth trip to the NEF cage, not counting one further appearance in the NEF boxing ring.

“I’m excited for the fight with Caleb,” said Ortolani. “He’s had a great amateur career and has a lot of experience. I can’t wait to perform in front of the NEF fans again and welcome Caleb to the pro ranks the hard way!"

 

 

 

 

Caleb Hall has had a prolific amateur MMA career with an impressive record of 8-3. Abans d'entrar a les files de MMA, he was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. Hall later wrestled for both Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire and the University of Southern Maine (USM). He captured the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title in the spring of 2016 with a submission of Erik Nelson (2-3). He later successfully defended that title against Johnny Crafts (4-1) a “NEF 25” in the fall of that year. Hall is a member of the Choi Institute in Portland, Maine.

 

 

 

 

“Every fighter’s goal is to get to the UFC,” said Hall. “To get there, you have to beat the toughest guys you can find on the regional circuit. Beating Ortolani, a 20-fight pro veteran, is a step towards my goal of where I want to go in this sport.”

HALL AND CRAFTS PREPARE FOR ONE LAST AMATEUR SCRAP BEFORE THE PROS

Leave a comment

 

Per: Kalle Oakes

It is hard to believe that Caleb Hall and Johnny Crafts’ paths have not crossed in the New England Fights mixed martial arts hexagon before now.

Separated by only two years in age and only a handful of pounds on the scale, the two former high school athletes made the transition to the cage from other combat pursuits at around the same time. Hall was a champion wrestler, while Crafts was a decorated grappler in the jiu-jitsu realm.

They are even considering a jump to the professional ranks at the same time … after one final stop to stand toe-to-toe with one another in a clash of amateur champions at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains.”

NEF amateur featherweight champion Hall (7-3) of Portland by way of Dixfield will collide with NEF amateur bantamweight titleholder Crafts (4-0) of Lisbon this Dissabte, Setembre 10.

“I’d say my days in the amateur ranks are numbered,” Hall said. “I feel at this point, as tough as the fights are getting, I might as well be a pro. I just didn’t want to do it too early. I wanted to be a legitimate pro athlete.”

Hall took a measured approach to his ascent through the ranks. Not many fighters stick around for a double-digit number of amateur bouts before either taking prize money or returning to the safety of spectator-hood.

Then again, not many debut in the sport as early as Hall. He remembers getting his first recruiting call from NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson while helping a friend, Josh Thornton, train for an NEF appearance.

“He called me out of nowhere and tried to get me a fight on short notice. Then he saw me filling out the information sheet and noticed that I was still only 17,” Hall said, noting that the rules prohibit minors from entering the fray. “So I ended up fighting in September, a month after my 18º aniversari. I was hooked from the first time I watched it. I knew it was something I wanted to do.”

Hall won his first three fights, largely on the strength of his wrestling acumen, while bouncing between his hometown in the Western mountains of Maine and Plymouth State University in New Hampshire.

While sparring at First Class MMA in Topsham, Hall heard NEF mainstay John Raio rave about the merits of the Choi Institute in Portland. Hall took the advice and quickly discovered a place where his boxing and striking skills improved exponentially.

“Most of my training has been stand-up. I’ve tried to improve on it,” Hall said. “I figure that I’ve wrestled so long that I can kind of put it down when it comes to training and put more effort in the areas where I need to improve my skills.”

Hall carries a two-fight winning streak. The latter victory was a second-round submission over Erik Nelson for the vacant 145-pound strap in April.

He has stayed busy, rarely skipping back-to-back NEF cards during his time with the organization. By contrast, Crafts had been out of the cage for a year prior to his third-round TKO of Henry Clark for the 135-pound title in February.

“Injuries are what have screwed me over. I should have a lot more fights for as long as I’ve been at it,” Crafts said. “If I’m healthy, guanyar o perdre, I think this is probably my last fight as an amateur. Estic 24. I don’t want to drag it on too long.”

Crafts agreed with Hall’s assessment that whichever of the two fighters is able to step out of his comfort zone on the mat will gain the upper hand.

“Caleb is a really good wrestler. I never wrestled in high school, just jiu-jitsu. But with jiu-jitsu, you learn how to wrestle,” Crafts said. “I think people are going to be surprised by my wrestling, and I think everybody’s going to be impressed with my boxing. I feel more confident. I think he’s going to be surprised when I punch him in the face.”

Hall has fought all but two of his fights at 145 pounds and said that he considers that weight class “home.” Crafts dismissed any disadvantage in having to step up, noting that his walking-around weight is in the 160s.

“This is my first time fighting at 145. I’m really excited about it. Getting down to 135 is a really big cut for me. I felt it in the last fight. I could just tell. I really shouldn’t have been as tired as I was,” Crafts said. “And Henry was a good opponent. I was working on things, using more of my stand-up. That kind of prolonged it.

“He’s definitely the best at 145 En la meva opinió,” Crafts added in reference to Hall. “He’s one of the most experienced amateurs out there. He’s definitely the best guy for me to fight.”

The opening bell this Dissabte, Setembre 10 s'estableix per 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and six amateur MMA scraps.

IT WILL BE CHAMPION VS. CHAMPION ON SEPTEMBER 10 En Lewiston

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Agost 9, 2016) – In a rare occurrence, two champions from two different weight divisions will square off onSetembre 10, 2016 when New England Fights presents “NEF 25: HEROIS & VILANS” a Lewiston. Reigning NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion Johnny Artesania (4-0) will come up in weight to challenge Caleb Saló (7-3) for Hall’s NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title.

 

Caleb Hall was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. He would go on to wrestle for Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, as well as the University of Southern Maine. En “NEF 22” this past spring, Hall captured the vacant featherweight title by submitting Erik Nelson (2-3) en la segona ronda. In the upcoming bout with Crafts, Hall will be looking to not only retain his title, but to also gain a measure of revenge against Crafts who defeated Hall’s teammate Henry Clark (3-2) la tardor passada.

 

“Johnny’s making a big mistake coming up in weight trying to take my belt,” said Hall. “I will avenge my teammate, Henry Clark, and put him away early.”

 

Johnny Crafts is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). As mentioned, Crafts defeated Henry Clark of the Choi Institute last fall to claim the amateur bantamweight title. En Setembre 10, Crafts hopes to make history by becoming the first competitor to simultaneously hold two championships in two different weight divisions.

 

“I’m honestly just excited to get in there and have a brutal, fun fight,” said Crafts. “It’s going to be a guaranteed war versus Caleb. It’s less focus on cutting weight at 145 for me and more on the training camp. I’m going to be the most technical and strong I have ever been for this fight.”

TOTS ELS CARRETERS PORTEN A LA TARGETA DE LLUITA MONUMENTAL A LEWISTON

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Març 31, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” a Dissabte, Abril 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. La carta de lluita inclourà una barreja d'arts marcials mixtes (MMA) i combats de boxa professional. El dia d'avui, NEF va anunciar la targeta de lluita completa per a l'esdeveniment. La carta de lluita està programada per incloure tres partits de boxa professionals, sis combats professionals de MMA, i dotze emocionants concursos de MMA amateurs.

 

Al costat de boxa professional de la targeta, Campió del pes welter júnior del nord-est, i l'orgull de West Forks, Maine, Brandon “El Canó” Berry(11-1, 7 KOs) torna al ring per jugar a sis rondes amb Detroit, de Michigan James Lester (10-9, 4 KOs). Berry, un dels boxejadors més populars que ha sortit mai de Maine, buscarà la seva quarta victòria consecutiva des que va tornar d'una lesió a l'espatlla l'any passat.

 

Això serà més fàcil dir-ho que fer-ho amb Lester a la cantonada oposada. Lester és un producte del famós Kronk Gym de Detroit on campions del món com Thomas “Sicario” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 KOs), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 KOs), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 KOs) i Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 KOs) s'han entrenat sota el difunt Emmanuel Steward. Lester va ocupar el segon lloc a nivell nacional com a amateur. Presenta una amenaça perillosa per a Berry, un que molt bé podria fer el paper de “aleró” a “El Canó” i la seva legió de fans.

 

Després d'una sagnant guerra d'un debut en boxa professional a “NEF 21” mes passat, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) tornarà a entrar al ring de boxa, aquesta vegada de cara Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 KOs). Montella, ara resident a Massachusetts, Va créixer a Maine i va servir al Cos de Marines dels Estats Units.

 

Encapçalarà la part professional de MMA de la targeta de lluita Jesse “El Víking” Erickson (6-4) i Devin Powell (5-1) en un concurs lleuger. Tots dos lluitadors estan actualment en una ratxa de tres victòries consecutives.

 

"Intento centrar-me en el que tinc davant meu,", va dir Erickson durant una entrevista recent a El podcast de MMA Report. “Mai no vaig mirar més enllà dels meus oponents, però m'agrada pensar quina serà la recompensa quan guanyi aquest tipus.”

 

Cap esportista es pot permetre el luxe de passar per alt l'altre, però una victòria per a qualsevol podria significar molt bé una convocatòria d'un dels ascensos nacionals. Erickson hi ha estat abans amb Bellator. Powell és un talent complet amb alguns acabats elegants al seu crèdit.

 

“Aquest és el tipus de lluita de MMA que ens encanta,” dit NEF co-propietari i promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Tens dos nois que coincideixen molt bé. Tots dos han anat acumulant victòries. S'han enfrontat a alguns dels mateixos oponents. Tots dos són sòlids a la catifa i als peus. Espero que això sigui una altra bogeria, esdeveniment principal salvatge de NEF MMA!”

 

“Boig” i “salvatge” ni tan sols comenceu a descriure el rancor que s'ha desenvolupat entre ells Josh “Enganxa't” Harvey (0-0) i Mate “Ken Nina” Denning (2-1). Els amargs rivals es trobaran amb un pes de lluita de 150 lliures “NEF 22” en un combat de MMA. El combat serà el debut professional d'Harvey després d'un estel·lar 5-1 carrera amateur que el va veure capturar el títol de pes lleuger amateur de NEF MMA, així com el rànquing número u de les regions del nord-est. Els problemes personals ben publicitats entre Harvey i Denning es resoldran a la gàbia 23 d'abril.

 

La part professional de la targeta de MMA també comptarà amb el debut professional del company de MMA de Harvey's Young. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (0-0) ja que s'enfronta al veterà “Inastillable 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) en un combat de pes ploma. Lacey va abandonar el títol de pes ploma amateur de NEF MMA per convertir-se en professional.

 

Aquest títol no romandrà vacant molt de temps Caleb Saló (6-3) i Eric Nelson (2-2) enfrontar-se per determinar un nou campió a la part superior de la targeta de MMA amateur. Hall surt d'una victòria de presentació de la primera ronda a “NEF XX” la tardor passada, mentre que Nelson va aconseguir recentment una victòria per decisió unànime a “NEF 21.”

 

La targeta de MMA amateur també comptarà amb una lluita entre dones Angela Young(0-1) i “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young i Sparrell van fer els seus respectius debuts l'any passat a “NEF XIX.”

Lewiston, Maine (Març 11, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” a Dissabte, Abril 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. La carta de lluita inclourà una barreja d'arts marcials mixtes (MMA) i combats de boxa professional. El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cartellera. Caleb Saló (6-3) s'enfrontarà a Eric Nelson (2-2) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title. The championship was vacated earlier this week when previous champion Aaron Lacey (6-1) announced that he would enter the professional ranks at “NEF 22.”

 

Caleb Hall is a member of the Choi Institute of Portland, Maine. He was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. Hall later wrestled for both Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire and the University of Southern Maine (USM). He began competing in MMA in September 2012, making his debut at “NEF IV.” Hall last appeared in the NEF cage this past fall, scoring an impressive first-round submission victory over Matt Tamayo (0-1). He feels that his wrestling experience will carry him to the featherweight title on 23 d'abril contra Nelson.

 

“I’m very excited to fight for the belt I have worked for,” said Hall. “My wrestling and constant pressure will be a big problem for Nelson. The scrambles and pressure will fold him and I’ll get the finish.”

 

Erik Nelson is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) located in Lewiston, Maine where he is a jiu-jitsu instructor. Al desembre, he was awarded his brown belt by head coach Travis Wells. A few weeks later, Nelson would go on to defeat Julio Martinez (0-2) a “NEF 21.” Nelson believes his jiu-jitsu will be the deciding factor when he meets Caleb Hall for the amateur featherweight title on 23 d'abril.

 

“I am very excited for the opportunity to fight for a title in my hometown,” said Nelson. “Caleb is a talented wrestler, but I feel my jiu-jitsu is far superior. No matter where the fight goes, I see my hand being raised at the end.”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (Abril 16, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu divuitè mixtes d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment, “NEF XVIII: Fet a Amèrica,” a Dissabte, Juny 13, 2015 al Androscoggin Banc Colisee a Lewiston, Maine. El dia d'avui, the promotion announced that the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion will be crowned that evening when undefeated Ricky Dexter (3-0), representing Marcus Davis’ Equip irlandès, s'enfrontarà a Josh Harvey (3-1) of cross-town rival Young’s MMA. The bout will be contested at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Dexter and Harvey are regarded as two of the top prospects currently on the NEF MMA roster. Both athletes are undefeated in the promotion’s cage. En Juny 13, they will carry on a rivalry that has raged in NEF between the Young’s MMA and Team Irish gyms for several years.

 

“Both of these young athletes are a testament to their respective gyms, as well as to how far the sport has come in Maine,” va dir Matt Peterson, copropietari i casament de NEF. “They both came along after NEF was established in the state, and we have seen both of them grow over the past year. We in the NEF front office unanimously believe that Josh and Ricky have a bright future ahead of them in MMA and look forward to this highly competitive bout set to be contested in Lewiston on Juny 13º."

 

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “XVII NEF.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

 

“I’m honored to be fighting for the NEF Lightweight Amateur Title,” stated Dexter. “To me there’s a lot more on the line than just a belt. En Juny 13 you better believe I’m bringing it.”

 

When fans last saw Josh Harvey in the NEF cage, he had his arm raised in victory after mauling Caleb Hall (5-2) in the amateur opener of “NEF XVI” el febrer passat. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine. Many insiders believe this will be one of Harvey’s final amateur fights before turning professional.

 

“Two top fighters from two top schools, this is a match to be excited about,” stated Harvey when reached for comment. “I have all the respect in the world for Ricky, but there is no where this fight goes that I don’t win.”
