Lewiston, Maine (Mei 19, 2015) - New England mapambano (NEF), Namba moja kikanda kukuza Amerika ya kupambana, itafanya wake kumi na nane mchanganyiko wa martial-sanaa (MMA) tukio, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” juu ya Jumamosi, Juni 13, 2015 katika Androscoggin Bank Colisee katika Lewiston, Maine. Mapema leo, kukuza alitangaza kamili kadi mapambano kwa ajili ya tukio.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Mtaalamu Lightweight bingwa Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Hatari ya kwanza” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, Hata hivyo, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Juni 13 katika Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, na 2014 “Fighter wa Mwaka,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Mbwa JunkYard” Ryan Cowette (2-2) katika middleweight bout. Boutin has developed over the course of three years from a street brawler to a well-disciplined martial artist. Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

 

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

 

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) naRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

 

In another amateur title fight, Ricky Dexter (3-0) viwanja mbali dhidi ya Josh Harvey (3-1) for the lightweight championship. Dexter will represent Team Irish while Harvey will represent Irish’s Bangor-area rival Young’s MMA.

 

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

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Acha maoni

Lewiston, Maine (Mei 8, 2015) - New England mapambano (NEF), Namba moja kikanda kukuza Amerika ya kupambana, itafanya wake kumi na nane mchanganyiko wa martial-sanaa (MMA) tukio, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” juu ya Jumamosi, Juni 13, 2015 katika Androscoggin Bank Colisee katika Lewiston, Maine. Mapema leo, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Viking” Erickson (4-4) imepangwa kukutana Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) affiliate – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Mwezi uliopita, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

“After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “Katika mapambano yangu ya mwisho, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.”

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Maine, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “NEF XVII” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

“I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” Said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.”
