Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps.

It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” kata Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 Melawan KAD

Lewiston, Maine (Mac 10, 2016) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan acara akan datang, “NEF 22: Semua jalan menuju SINI” pada Sabtu, April 23, 2016 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. Awal hari ini, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” kad perjuangan. Nick Gulliver (2-0) akan memenuhi Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – Brazil Jiu Jitsu- (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) pada pusingan pertama. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (WHO) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Jadi, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) di “NEF 21” bulan lepas.

 

I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.

JOHN Raio MEMESATKAN DALAM PERSARAAN DENGAN TEAM KELAS PERTAMA

Lewiston, Maine (September 3, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kesembilan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XIX,” pada hari Sabtu, September 12, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature three members of First Class MMA in action that night. Hannah Sparrell (0-0), Rafael Velado (0-0) dan Nick Shea (1-0) dari Brunswick, Maine-based gym. Baru-baru ini, Pengasas pertama MMA Kelas dan ketua jurulatih John “Kelas Pertama” Ray menyertai NEF pemilik bersama dan Pinang muda Matt Peterson sebagai tetamu pada NEF Podcast.

 

Yang lepas Jun, 38-year-old Raio retired after competing in the NEF cage for some three-and-a-half years. Raio now concentrates on training the members of his First Class MMA gym, termasuk menyediakan Sparrell, Velado dan Shea untuk serangan yang akan datang mereka.

 

“Saya pasti boleh meletakkan lebih banyak masa kepada pejuang saya dan juga keluarga saya,” Said Ray. “Pejuang, I can put a lot more time into them because it’s not all about me. When you’re fighting, apabila anda latihan untuk bergaduh, tidak kira berapa banyak anda cuba untuk memberi tumpuan kepada Nick Shea atau Nick Gully atau Hannah Sparrell atau Rafael atau mana-mana pejuang kami, anda tidak boleh benar-benar meletakkan 100% effort into a fighter when you really focus on your own fight. It’s tough splitting between their fight and your fight and your job, keluarga dan anak-anak anda.”

 

Sejak kelahiran NEF pada awal 2012, dan letupan berikutnya populariti sukan itu di negeri ini, banyak sekolah baru telah muncul dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan, including First Class MMA. Raio enjoys, lebih daripada apa-apa lagi, erat ketat, suasana keluarga seperti yang telah dibangunkan di kemudahan itu sejak dia membuka gym.

 

“Perkara terbesar yang saya suka tentang gim kami, Saya suka pergi dan menjadi sebahagian daripada, ada satu kumpulan yang sangat merendah diri pelajar dan pengajar,” noted Raio. “Everyone who teaches in there is about the fighters. It’s about the students. They’re not about themselves. They’re more about trying to help people get better. Whether they’re a fighter or a teacher, we have a few teachers who go there and we have several women students and several children and adults. It’s a real good mix and very much a family atmosphere. We rarely lose a student.

 

Yang “Kelas Pertama” moniker is not merely a nickname given to Raio because of his past job with the postal service. Early on in his MMA career, Raio memperoleh reputasi yang hormat, bergaya, profesional, individu disukai, hence the pun in his nickname. Those same qualities have carried over to the students of First Class MMA.

 

“Saya cuba untuk merawat semua orang sama-sama,” Said Ray. “I try to treat everyone respectfully. I think a lot of those guys (Di gim), seterusnya, treat each other respectfully. If I ever have an issue with a student, jika mereka tidak bertindak menghormati pengajar atau pelajar lain, I’ll pull them aside and if they have to leave then they have to leave. That’s part of life… Gim kami menarik, atas sebab tertentu, orang-orang yang orang hanya bagus.”

 

Dengan lebih ramai pelajar baru yang datang melalui pintu gimnasium beliau, Raio has definitely kept busy since his retirement from active competition. Like a proud father, Raio has a real passion for the success of his students. The ultimate reward for him is seeing his protégées do well in the cage.

 

“Selepas persembahan yang lalu (NEF XVIII), apabila saya melihat Nick (Gulliver, 1-0) telah lengannya dibangkitkan dan Rob (Robinson, 1-0), Saya begitu gembira untuk orang-orang lelaki,” recalled Raio. “I’m so happy to see these two guys win. As much as I didn’t come away with a win against Bruce (Boyington, 10-8), Saya berkata 'jika kita pergi 2-1, I’d rather be the one that didn’t pull off the victory.I’ve never been as happy for my own win than I was for Nick and Rob that night.

BOYINGTON DIBELANJAKAN HEAD-TO-HEAD DENGAN Raio HARI SEBELUM perjuangan: “Aku akan GO DI SANA DAN membinasakannya”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final +(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Jun 10, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kelapan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XVIII: DIBUAT AMERICA,” Sabtu ini malam, Jun 13, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. Baru-baru ini, headliners Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Juara Ringan Profesional, dan John “Kelas Pertama” Ray(2-7) menyertai NEF pemilik bersama dan Pinang muda Matt Peterson pada khas “Kepala-kepala” edisi Podcast NEF. Boyington dan Raio membincangkan pertandingan ulang yang akan datang dan kontroversi mengenai pertemuan pertama mereka pada bulan Februari 2014, antara topik-topik lain.

 

Temu ramah dengan cepat beralih ke puncak pertarungan pertama. Raio muncul untuk menahan tercekik telanjang pada Boyington di atas tikar pada pusingan pertama. Boyington mula melambaikan tangannya di udara dan pengadil Jimmy Bickford dengan cepat melangkah untuk menghentikan pertarungan. Banyak yang telah dibuat dari yang terkenal “gelombang tangan.” Sementara Bickford melihatnya sebagai tanda penyerahan Boyington, Boyington telah menegaskan bahawa beliau hanya memberi isyarat kepada peminatnya di khalayak ramai yang ditahan itu tidak melakukan apa-apa kerosakan.

 

“Saya boleh memberitahu anda bagaimana malam itu berakhir,” teringat Raio mengenai pertarungan pertama. “Pada asasnya, Bruce telah memberi saya punggungnya. Semasa saya melabuhkan punggungnya, Saya mempunyai cangkuk dan tercekik telanjang belakang di garis rahangnya. Saya cuba menekannya di bawah kerongkongnya, dan seperti yang saya meraih bicep kiri dan tangan kiri saya akan di belakang kepalanya, ref berhenti perjuangan… Saya kagum bahawa dia telah ditoreh kerana, jujur, Saya tahu bahawa saya mempunyai banyak tekanan pada rahang… Jika sebenarnya dia melambai, yang menghisap untuknya.”

 

“Dalam keadaan yang, Saya khusus ingat Bickford melihat saya, Saya menghadapi, dia pergi untuk leher saya dan saya melambai,” kata Boyington. “Semua orang mula mengaum kuat sebenar dan saya ingat Bickford berkata, 'Tiada Bruce, anda tidak boleh mengatakan bahawa '… Jika anda berfikir bahawa saya mengemukakan atau saya dalam kesusahan atau tidak boleh bernafas, anda tidak memberitahu pejuang, “Anda tidak boleh mengatakan bahawa,” anda hanya melompat masuk dan anda menghentikan pergaduhan. Saya rasa seperti dia melakukan kesalahan. Saya berasa seperti dia menyedari perkara itu… Saya melihat banyak perkara yang berbeza yang John telah berkata talian, dan banyak perkara-perkara yang orang lain katakan, dan ketika itulah saya benar-benar mula terganggu dengan apa yang telah berlaku. Saya rasa dia boleh mengatasinya dengan lebih baik.”

 

Sebelum Boyington menyerah belakangnya, ramai yang merasakan dia telah memenangi pusingan pertama itu. Sesungguhnya, Kejutan Boyington nampaknya tepat pada malam itu. Peterson meminta kedua pesaing untuk membuat spekulasi tentang apa yang akan terjadi sekiranya pengadil tidak menghentikan pertarungan pada ketika itu.

 

“Tidak dapat tidak, Saya fikir John akan telah tersingkir,” kata Boyington dengan tegas. “Saya tidak fikir saya akan menyerahkan dia, kerana itulah peluang terbaiknya untuk saya. Dia cukup kuat untuk mempertahankan penyerahan.”

 

“Saya fikir jika ref yang tidak berhenti pada masa yang, semasa saya di rahang dengan lengan saya dan saya telah mencapai di belakang lehernya,” Ray spekulasi, “Saya percaya lengan saya akan tergelincir di bawah kerongkongnya dan ia akan berakhir beberapa saat sebelum pusingan. Jadi, Saya tidak fikir ia akan telah pergi ke pusingan kedua.”

 

Pada hari-hari, minggu dan bulan-bulan berikut perjuangan, Tindak balas peminat Boyington dan Raio sangat lantang di media sosial mengenai hasil pertarungan. Perbahasan yang hangat telah berlangsung antara kedua-dua belah pihak selama lebih dari setahun sekarang. Dengan begitu banyak dipertaruhkan untuk setiap pihak di “NEF XVIII,” kedua-dua atlet menyentuh mengenai apa rematch bermakna kepada mereka, dan apa yang mereka perlukan untuk membuktikan pada hujung minggu ini akan datang.

 

“Saya tidak boleh pergi di sana dan mengalahkan John,” kata Boyington. “Malah peminat sendiri menjangkakan bahawa… Saya tidak boleh hanya pergi di sana pada 13 Jundan menewaskan John Raio. Saya mesti masuk ke sana dan memusnahkannya. Atau saya masih kalah dalam pertarungan ini. Saya tahu itu, dan saya akan masuk ke sana dan membuat kenyataan itu. Dan saya akan melakukannya dengan satu lengan, kerana lengan yang satu lagi tidak bekerja sekarang… Saya tidak bimbangkan tarikh ini dari hari pertama. Tidak ada kaitan dengan John Raio. Saya tidak menghormati lelaki itu. Saya tidak suka lelaki itu. Dia lelaki yang baik. Saya hanya berada di tahap yang lain. Saya perlu muncul dan membuktikannya. Itulah yang saya buat. Ini bukan tentang saya mengalahkan John. Ini mengenai saya menunjukkan kepada semua orang di mana saya berada.”

 

“Dalam hal Bruce kemasan saya cepat, dan menjadikannya mudah, dan tidak benar-benar bimbang tentang perjuangan terlalu banyak, Saya hanya merasa kurang ajar seperti banyak perkara dia berkata kepadaku:, keluarga saya dan rakan-rakan saya,” jawab Raio. “Terdapat kali selepas perjuangan lalu apabila orang telah mengucapkan tahniah kepada saya (di Facebook) dan dia akan meneruskan seperti satu atau dua perenggan yang disebutkan pada setiap komen yang semua orang masukkan di halaman saya selama tiga hari berturut-turut. Jadi, selepas itu saya berkata 'Bruce dan saya tidak benar-benar kawan lagi,’ jadi saya memadamkannya. Saya suka dia sebelum pergaduhan itu… tetapi apabila orang tidak menghormati saya seperti dia sukar untuk suka lelaki itu.”

UNFINISHED BUSINESS LEADS TO LONG-AWAITED REMATCH

Bruce Boyington protests to referee Jimmy Bickford after his first fight with John Raio is stopped

Lewiston, Maine (April 21, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kelapan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XVIII: Dibuat di Amerika,” pada Sabtu, Jun 13, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. Awal hari ini, the promotion announced that NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Boy Pretty” Boyington (10-8) akan memenuhi John “Kelas Pertama” Ray (2-7) on the card in a non-title bout at a weight of 150-pounds.

 

Boyington and Raio first met in February 2014 di “NEF XII” di Lewiston. Boyington dominated the early moments with his striking. Coming towards the end of the first round, Raio would take Boyington’s back and apply a rear-naked choke on the mat. The future lightweight champion waved his hand in the air, a signal which referee Jimmy Bickford took to indicate Boyington’s submission. Bickford stopped the bout and awarded the fight to Raio, drawing an immediate protest from Boyington who stated he was waving to his fans in the crowd as a sign that he was not in danger.

 

In the days that followed, a heated debate would rage on social media over the controversial finish to the fight. Both fighters, boasting arguably the two largest fan bases in all of New England, were at the center of an epic war of words between their respective supporters. It seemed as though everyone had an opinion, and the entire state of Maine was split.

 

Things were crazy that week after the bout,” recalled NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Our Facebook page was flooded with comments and private messages. Everybody and their mother was weighing in. It’s probably the most controversial moment in NEF history. Fans have been asking us for over a year when the rematch would happen. The time has finally come, Jun 13 di Lewiston!”

 

Boyington would go on to have a highly successful finish to 2014, winning not one but two regional MMA titles, including the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Championship. He would also win his professional boxing debut at NEF’s inaugural boxing event in October 2014. Boyington has, sebenarnya, won four of his last five since the Raio loss.

 

“This fight is solely about redemption and giving the fans what they have been wanting to see,” stated Boyington when reached for comment. “Sometimes you have to step outside of what is best for you in this sport and entertain and that’s what I’m doing. I like a challenge—the biggest challenge—and that time will come, but for now, its about showing people what was about to happen last time and I can still show I’m three-levels above him by making the statement I’m about to embark on. I’m done with mishaps in that cage. I’m seizing every opportunity and will not let something slip again. Mark my words, its about to get sebenar in my fight.”

Raio is coming off two losses in a row to his archrival, Derek Shorey (2-1), including one defeat earlier this month at “NEF XVII.” In need of a win, the founder of First Class MMA may now be more determined than ever to return to the NEF cage.

 

“I know this is a fight that I want, Bruce wants, and a lot of MMA fans have asked for,” stated Raio when reached for comment. “I look forward to fighting Bruce. Hopefully when the fight is over, there will be no controversy.”
