Fred Lear, who wrestled and played football for John Bapst Memorial High School in nearby Bangor, Maine, had one of the most successful amateur careers in NEF history. Lear finished his amateur career in 2019 egy rekord 6-2-1 and an NEF Amateur Bantamweight Title to his credit. He entered the professional ranks last April in Portland, Maine, losing his debut to Bryant Bullock (2-1) via second-round submission. Lear experienced a disappointing setback when an opponent pulled out on him the night before weigh-ins at “NEF 40” last September. The Young’s MMA product will now look for the first win of his professional career on April 18 against Rine.

“2019 and the September fight card were difficult for me, but I wasn’t going to let it get in the way of supporting my team,” said Lear. “I feel as though people have forgotten who I am and what I’m here to do. Jason Rine is a Bellator vet and a consummate professional. I’m here, Éhes vagyok, and April 18th I’m making the walk and leaving my mark.”

Jason Rine is indeed a Bellator veteran, having competed on the Bellator 215 card last year. Based out of Fredericktown, Ohio, Rine has become well-known throughout the New England region in recent years, traveling in to fight on many area events. While his record may appear on the surface to be that of a journeyman, Rine has taken nothing but tough bouts throughout his professional career, always showing up to fight. April 18 will see him make his debut with NEF.

“I’m very excited to come to Maine and fight for NEF against a game opponent in Fred Lear,” stated Rine when reached for comment.  “I’m ready to test myself in a new promotion in a new state. Time for a fresh start and a new beginning.”

Portland, Maine (Április 28, 2019) - New England Harcol (NEF) returned to Aura in Portland on Saturday night with its latest mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 38: STORMBORN.”  The event was in homage to the HBO seriesGame of Thrones complete with ring girls attired as theMother of DragonsDaenerys Targaryen and Sansa Stark, as well as a cello player opening the event with music from the hit show’s soundtrack. A capacity crowd of over 1100 was on hand for the action.

A CÍM FIGHT DRAW A BÜSZKESÉG ÉRZÉSEBŐL MEGHAGYJA ZAC RICHARDOT

Három korábbi betörés a New England Fights ketrecében mind az öt percet és kilenc másodpercet követelte Zac Richardtól.

Ez volt az összesített idő, amibe Waterboro őslakosának szüksége volt, Maine, összegyűjteni három győzelmet kiütéssel vagy leadással, és megszerezni a megüresedett NEF amatőr pehelysúlyú címet a NEF-en 37 pénteken, Február 1.

Richard valószínűleg csak most érti meg teljesen, hogy milyen esélyek voltak vele szemben azon a fagyos estén. Fred Learrel párosították, nyolc korábbi viadal veteránja, aki az előző versenyen elnyerte a könnyűsúlyú övet. Lear otthona és képzési központja is egy kőhajításnyira van a Cross Insurance Centertől, a leszámolás jelenete.

Míg a sorsolás ritka fordulat a vegyes harcművészetekben, and ties are universally maligned as an unsatisfying outcome to any sporting endeavor, Richard értékelni tudja a bírákat’ indecision after the first true donnybrook of his budding career.

“Before the fight when they announced our names, Azt hittem, fel fog robbanni a hely. Vad volt,– mondta Richard. “And then the fight was pretty even the whole time. Továbbra is gondoltam magamban, nem veszítesz, de nem sokat nyersz. Csak ezen gondolkodtam."

Richard, Maine állam birkózóbajnoka a középiskolában, has worked on the finer points of his stand-up game with UFC veteran Devin Powell and other instructors at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

Pride and practicality persuaded Richard to engage in slug-it-out tactics with Lear, de a régi szokások nehezen halnak meg.

„Jól indult. Kezdettől fogva éreztem, hogy irányítok. Szeretnék talpon maradni, és igazán megmutatni, mennyit ütős voltam,– mondta Richard. „És tudtam, hogy Fred egy igazi ellenfél a földön, és sokkal régebb óta edz, mint én. Szóval a lábamon akartam tartani. De birkózónak maradni ilyen szokás. Az első kombináció, amit dobtam, Lementem egy lövésre."

Lear támadása a test ellen bevallottan fizikailag megviselte Richardot. Az újonc nyilvánvalóan soha nem élt át ilyen tompa traumát az MMA-harc előtti napjaiban, és nem érintette meg a Gabriel Diaz elleni pályakezdő győzelmi sorozatában sem., Clifford Redman és Chris Lachcik.

„Igazán elgázosodtam és ideges lettem, mert folyamatosan letérdelt és a testre ütött,– mondta Richard, „Vártam, hogy megjöjjön a második szelem, de soha nem jött. Igyekeztem időnként egy kombinációba vagy egy jó slambe kerülni.”

Még a körök között a zsámolyon ülni is szürreális volt.

Természetesen Richard nővére is eszembe jutott, Csipkés, aki elvesztette a rákkal vívott harcát 2012 de továbbra is inspirálja Zac-et harci szellemével. Nem jellemző, hogy az embernek van ideje, hogy kapcsolatba lépjen gondolataival és felmérje a tájat, amikor az ellenfeleket végez, mielőtt a nyitó harang visszhangja elhalkul..

„A legtöbb csatám elég gyors volt. Határozottan furcsa élmény volt,– mondta Richard. „Soha nem volt ilyenem a fordulók között. Kinéztem a tömegből, és minden alkalommal találkoztam egy bizonyos baráttal, családtaggal vagy edzőpartnerrel. Sokkal nagyobb dolog volt, mint amit megszoktam.”

Amikor nyilvánvalóvá vált, Lear még nem érett meg a kiütésre, Richard megpróbálta egyensúlyba hozni az önvédelmet, miközben szem előtt tartotta az eredményjelzőket.

„Bemegy a negyedik és az ötödik körbe, Tudtam, hogy fáradt vagyok, és tudtam, hogy Fred ugyanolyan jól tud ütni és rúgni,"Ő mondta. „Gondoltam magamban, 'Fel kell tartanod a kezed. Ez veszélyes, ha fáradt.’ Csak arra gondoltam, hogy ne üssem meg. Üsd meg.

„Minden alkalommal, amikor a kopogás megszólalt, amikor volt 10 másodperc van hátra, Megpróbáltam alulról felkelni, rúgást kapni vagy földet érni egy utolsó jó ütést. Ez más volt, mert nekem sosem volt ilyen – még a 10 másodperces kopogásokat sem hallottam. Határozottan többet hallottam, mint a berregőt, mert az utolsó néhány másodpercben olyan kaotikus lesz és mindenki olyan hangos lesz. A játékvezető egyszerűen megragadna minket, olyan vagyok, mint, ‘Vége?’ Soha nem tapasztaltam ilyesmit a birkózás során.”

Azok az oda-vissza csaták a regionális és az állami szőnyegügyekben jó szolgálatot tettek Richardnak. Úgy érezte, mentálisan felkészült a bajnoki fordulókra, még ha a fizikai teher is nőtt.

Richard elismerte, hogy van egy rossz szokása a szájvédő használata nélkül edzeni, és ez befolyásolhatta a légzését a meccsen..

„Vészem elég hosszú birkózómérkőzéseken, ahányféle típust be lehet férni,– mondta Richard. „Mindig is nagyon jó bunyós voltam a hosszabbításban. Szerintem soha nem veszítettem túlórában. Ha megtenném, olyan volt, mint valamikor. De a birkózásban az a helyzet, hogy nem kapsz ököllel és térdre ütést a gyomrában, és nem kapsz más dolgokat, amelyek elviszik a szelet.. Egyszerűen olyan fáradt voltam. Egész idő alatt tudtam, hogy nem vagyok büszke a teljesítményemre, de meg kell tenned, amit tenned kell. Folyton azt mondogattam magamnak, hogy fel kell kelnem és csinálnom kell valamit.

Miközben elégedetlen a döntetlennel, Richard sok olyan részletből merít bátorítást, amelyek a harcot követően napvilágra kerültek.

A vegyes eredmény minden bizonnyal azonnali visszavágóhoz jogosította Richardot. Ez kifejezetten nem fog megtörténni, Lear arról tájékoztatta, hogy profivá kíván válni.

„Emlékszem februárra 14 a tavalyi év volt az első NEF-csata, amin valaha részt vettem. Még csak egy hónapja edzettem és (NEF társtulajdonosa és házasságszerző) Matt Peterson megkért, hogy menjek,– mondta Richard. „Szóval elmentem, és itt van egy évvel később, harcolok az övért egy gyerek ellen, aki másfél éve harcolt az övért. A harc után kiderült, hogy profi lesz, ez tényleg nagyon büszkévé tett arra, ahogy csináltam. Ha profi tud lenni a harc után, és még csak egy éve harcolok, akkor elég jó reményeim vannak a jövőmmel kapcsolatban."

Ez a jövő egy újabb repedést fog tartalmazni az övön, Április 27th.

„Én vagyok a Szám 1 versenyző, és profi lesz, tehát aki a következő,– mondta Richard. „Nem tudom, hogy behoznak-e valakit máshonnan, vagy mi. Matt azt mondta, hogy dolgozik az ellenfélen. Készen leszek. "

ZAC RICHARD RELISHES UNDERDOG ROLE IN UPCOMING FIGHT WITH FRED LEAR

Bangor, Maine (December 10, 2018) – It has been a meteoric rise through the New England Fights enterprise for Zac Richard, who will celebrate one year since he started training in the sport by fighting for the featherweight title on February 1st.

Richard, a state champion high school wrestler with three first-round stoppages to his credit since he transitioned from the mat to mixed martial arts, will face former bantamweight champion Fred Lear for the vacant 145-pound strap at NEF 37: “Sub Zero.” The fight will be held at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

In a recent interview with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole for theBetween Rounds Radio podcast, Richard noted that MMA has given him balance and structure after a tumultuous time in his personal and family life. Richard’s last fight, a 51-second stoppage of Chris Lachcik by rear naked choke, took place one day before the six-year anniversary of his sister Lacy’s death from cancer.

“Every year around this time, I always found myself making bad decisions or being down in the dumps. This year I had something to take my anger out and have all those people come out and support, so it was pretty awesome. It’s the best mindset I’ve ever been in for a fight, az biztos,– mondta Richard.

NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson knew he had a fighter on his hands the moment Richard signed with the organization.

Anyone who thinks the opportunity is being extended too soon probably isn’t familiar with the fighter, his background or his disposition.

“After watching Zac wrestle for almost a decade, I knew that his aggressive, go-for-broke style against the toughest competition that he could find would translate well to the mixed martial arts cage,” Peterson said. “He welcomes a challenge, and he never hesitated for a second when I offered him the opportunity to face a decorated veteran, Fred Lear, for the featherweight championship.”

A graduate of Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Richard said he started training in 2018 as part of a new year’s resolution.

That journey took him an hour away to Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire, where his dogged determination and raw talent caught the eye of none other than Devin Powell, the former NEF Lightweight Champion and current UFC (Mesterszintű Küzdősport Bajnokság) competitor.

“On the weekends after work, I did nothing. I might go to the bar or something. I kind of felt like I was wasting my time. I used to wrestle, and that was all I did. I didn’t want to go to college and wrestle, because there was nothing I wanted to go to college for,– mondta Richard. “I was like, ‘I’m going to try mixed martial arts.I just walked in, started slamming people and stuff, not tapping, and after a while Devin was like, "Hé, who are you?’ And then we kind of just hit off and started training.”

Richard said friends and family, at first, didn’t believe him when he told them of the connection to the local celebrity turned worldwide fighter.

“It’s crazy, telling people. They think I’m joking. Then I’ll post pictures with (Powell) on Instagram and Facebook and people start hearing about it,– mondta Richard. “It’s good to know you can make it. It’s good to have a coach who’s living it in the UFC. He’s fighting his heart out, getting hurt and still going. He makes some good media, so it’s pretty cool.”

Richard recently relocated by renting an apartment across the street from the gym, providing further evidence of his commitment.

Working with Powell has its privileges, but it also comes with a lighter side. Richard elicited a few laughs on the program when he relayed the story of his mentor adopting a baby pig. It’s a free-range animal, he reported, wandering the gym right along with Powell’s fighters.

“He loves that thing. When we went to Las Vegas, he was talking about it and said, ‘I’m gonna get a pig.And I’m like, 'RENDBEN, Devin.Then one day I went on Instagram and watched his story and I’m like, ‘No, he didn’t.I’d like to follow some of his footsteps, but not the pig one,– mondta Richard. “I’m pretty sure it’s like a teacup pig, but it’s kind of big, so guess we’ll just have to see. Hopefully he didn’t get lied to. He’s going to be kind of upset when there’s a full-grown pig running around Nostos every day.”

Richard and Lear will meet in the middle in terms of weight for their title bout.

Lear, out of Young’s MMA in Bangor hasn’t fought since his victory over Walt Shea for the 135-pound title in August 2017. Richard will come down in weight after tackling his past two outings at 155, not far below his typical walking-around weight of 160 hogy 165.

It will be a challenge in the cold Maine winter. Richard, who is a mechanic by trade, said his job helps him sweat out the pounds during summer.

“I’m always fluctuating. Knowing that I’ve been fighting at 155 my past two fights, I’ve been eating whatever and lifting, walking around about 165,” Richard said. “I’m used to cutting weight for wrestling. I’d like to see myself at 145 from here on out. I don’t feel the need to cut that much weight for a fight. It’s only amateurs, and I don’t know when I’ll go pro or if I’ll go pro. I just now got a strength and conditioning coach at the Brickhouse in Sanford, so we’ll see where it goes. 145 is where I see myself.”

“I know Zac’s parents, and he comes from a wonderful family. They always did everything that they could to support him, going above and beyond during his wrestling career,” Peterson said. “He’s young and athletic and has the confidence to complement his genetic gifts. Fred is an experienced champion that has faced all manner of fighters over the course of his eight MMA bouts. Both guys know how to wrestle. Both come from respected gyms. It’s a match befitting our return to Bangor in February.”

That shared wrestling background made the fight with Lear (6-2) attractive to Richard.

In addition to being on enemy territory in Lear’s hometown, Richard expects to be seen as the underdog due to the opponent’s previous title fight experience.

“I don’t really care about the noise that much. I always liked being the underdog in wrestling,– mondta Richard. “I’ve got nothing to lose. If his crowd ‘s there and chanting his name, whatever. It’s just more noise.”

Richard said he has never been much for watching film of opponents, knowing that tactics can turn on a dime. He has watched two of the bouts in Lear’s archive, bár, and both expects and craves a battle for the ages.

“I want it to go into deep water,"Ő mondta. “I’ve had three fights, and not to sound cocky, but they’ve all been pretty quick. I want a war. That’s why I do it. I train all this time. I want to show my true self and get into a real fight, Tudja? I think Fred and I will be a good fight. Hopefully it lives up to the expectations I have for it.”

Lear’s year-and-a-half of inactivity is in stark contrast to Richard’s rapid-fire approach since gravitating to the sport. The newcomer hopes that won’t be held against him if he comes out on top.

“I think he’ll be fine. I hope he is. I don’t want any excuses,– mondta Richard. “I want it to be a straight-up fight with some highlight reels on it. Ha veszítek, I lose, but I’m going to go out swinging if I do.”

Korábban ma, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title fight to the card. Fred Lear (6-2) kell találkoznia Zac Richard (3-0) for the vacant 145-pound championship.

Fred Lear will look to replicate the success he had the last time he fought in Bangor. In August 2017, Lear captured the amateur bantamweight strap with a second-round technical knockout of Walt Shea (3-1) at the Cross Insurance Center.

Lear has had a stellar amateur career fighting out of Young’s MMA in Bangor. Prior to competing in mixed-martial-arts, Lear wrestled for John Bapst High School also based in the Queen City. He has won his last three in a row in the MMA cage. Should Lear win the featherweight title, he will become the first competitor in NEF history to hold championships in multiple weight divisions.

“This title fight is an opportunity to develop and grow,” said Lear. “An undefeated opponent with nothing but finishes, I like it—it’s polarizing. I want to turn professional. This is how I get better, that’s all I’m focused on.”

Like Lear, Zac Richard brought a wrestling background with him to the MMA cage. He won a state championship in 2015 competing for Massabesic High School in Waterboro, Maine. Richard now trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under head coach, current UFC competitor, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell (9-4).  Richard has finished all three of his previous opponents in the first round.

“Nagyon izgatott vagyok erre a meccsre,” said Richard. “The belt is great and all, but it’s just a stepping stone to my goals. I think this is a great opportunity for me to really show the hard work I put in. This fight camp is going to be extremely different for me and I cannot wait to have that cage locked. This fight will be just past the year mark of when I started training in MMA. It’s just the beginning.

I’m glad to be back in NEF,” said Jones when reached for comment. “I missed the cage and the NEF fans! I’m excited for my upcoming fight against Fred. Last time I was in the cage, the fight didn’t turn out my way. I used that as a motivation to be better. I jumped right back in the gym and went 110%. I’m excited to be back at 135 and challenge myself. Fred is a great match up. He is great fighter with a future in the sport. I’m excited to see our wrestling skills compete. It’s going to be a fun and explosive fight and something the fans want to see. február 3 is going to be fireworks!”

NEF SELLS-OUT AGAIN IN BANGOR AS LOCAL FIGHTERS SHINE IN THE CAGE

Bangor, Maine (Augusztus 6, 2017) –There was no place like home Szombat night for C.J. Vizeskancsó, Ryan Sanders and Fred Lear of Young’s MMA in Bangor.

Fighting in front of a sold-out ballroom a stone’s throw from their training headquarters, the three fighters atop the card at “NEF 30” Rumble in Bangor” all posted impressive victories at Cross Insurance Center.

Ewer defeated Mike “The Mustache” Hansen by submission at 1:46 of the first round to capture the vacant NEF pro middleweight title. Lear landed the NEF amateur bantamweight belt, while Sanders tightened his grip on New England’s pro lightweight scene in a non-title triumph.

It was the second consecutive August sellout in the Queen City, a tradition that began with “NEF Presents Dana White: Benéz’ For a Fight” last summer.

After his hard-fought win over the much-traveled Jay Ellis, NEF pro lightweight champion Sanders, Nem rangsorolt. 1 a régióban, kept his comments short and sweet while calling out the aforementioned Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) elnök.

“You took the wrong guy last year,” Sanders said. “Come get me now.”

Sanders (15-8) didn’t have an easy road against Ellis, a veteran of more than 80 pro csaták. Ellis had Sanders under control for most of the fight but left himself vulnerable to a triangle choke at 2:34 Az első fordulóban.

Ewer dispatched Hansen with a similarly swift maneuver.

“It’s a great feeling to win it in front of the home crowd,” Ewer said. “As hard as we worked (in training camp), I didn’t think anything could stop me.”

The sudden ending spoiled Hansen’s hopes of winning a title for the first time in his 13-year mixed martial arts career.

“This was by far the best training camp I ever had. We were just getting warmed up,” Hansen said. “I had a lot more to give, and I’m sure C.J. had a lot of more to give. But hey, we could do it again.”

Lear highlighted the amateur portion of the card with an authoritative second-round knockout of Walt Shea.

Only the bell saved Shea from Lear’s onslaught at the end of the opening chapter. Lear gained the advantage with a kick to the head midway through that round. After nearly locking in an arm bar that could have ended the fight, Lear bloodied the previously unbeaten Shea with a series of strikes.

The end appeared inevitable when Shea needed Lear’s help to find his corner between rounds, and another interrupted attack hastened the finish only 14 másodperc múlva.

An emotional Lear lauded his coach, Chris Young of Young’s MMA, before fastening the belt around the teacher’s waist.

“A lot of people around here know his name, but they don’t know the man,” Lear said. “He’s the first guy in the gym in the morning and the last one to leave at night. He’s the reason we’re all here. He’s the reason we’re successful. He’s the reason some of us aren’t in jail.”

In the first two fights of Josh Jonesamateur MMA career, Jones dispatched his opponents by one-punch knockout in a total of 24 másodperc. It took Carlton Charles one fewer tick of the clock to take out Jones in the stunning conclusion to a touted tangle of former star collegiate athletes.

Károly, a product of the University of Maine football program taking his initial walk to the NEF cage, turned the tables on Jones (2-1) in a middleweight scrap. Jones again went for the early stoppage with a pair of looping shots, but Charles calmly ducked them before landing one of his own and taking the issue to the mat.

“I just love the competition,” Charles said. “You don’t get hit in the face like this on the football field.”

When the combatants regained their feet, Charles backed Jones against the cage and landed two right hands to the jaw. Jones dropped to one knee and absorbed a sharp left to the head. That persuaded the referee to step in and stop the fight, a verdict that left Jones and his First Class MMA camp visibly puzzled.

It was Charlessecond one-sided combat sports victory in a week’s time. He previously delivered a first-round TKO in the amateur boxing ring. Jones suffered his first defeat since making the transition from basketball, which he played professionally in Europe after starring at Bangor’s Husson University.

One look at A pénteki official weigh-in suggested that the bout between Roger Ewer (251 font) and Dustin Freeman (220) might be the typical stand-up, slug-it-out heavyweight affair. Helyette, it turned into a ground-and-pound showcase that was right in Ewer’s wheelhouse. C.J.’s older brother, making his debut in the NEF hexagon at 44 éves kor, hammered out the advantage throughout and earned a TKO via unanswered strikes at 2:31 of the second stanza.

Nate Boucher improved to 2-0 with a first-round stoppage of Jeremiah Barkac, who was making his cage debut. Barkac gained an early advantage in the bantamweight bout with a barrage of strikes, but Boucher cleverly gained leverage with his legs and locked in a triangle choke.

Nyer vagy veszít, Bangor’s Angela Young announced that her battle with Jessica “The Black Widow” Borga would be the final fight of her career. Borga (6-3) erased any hopes of a Hollywood ending with a decisive TKO at 2:16 A nyitó körben. Fiatal (2-3), wife of Chris, had never gone less than the distance in any of her prior wins or losses.

In a mutual NEF and MMA debut, Zach Faulkner delighted his home crowd with a second-round victory over David Hart via rear naked choke. A végén jött 1:42.

Jesse Hutchinson also enjoyed a triumphant debut in the amateur ranks. He stopped Anthony LaPointe at 2:43 of the first round in a welterweight skirmish.

NEF also announced that the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 31: The Old Port,” will see the company make its long-awaited debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. Az eseményre a tervek szerint Péntek, November 3, 2017. Tickets will go on sale this Wednesday, Augusztus 9 at www.auramaine.com.
