A NEW NEF LIGHTWEIGHT CHAMPION CROWNED IN LEWISTON

Lewiston, Meyn (Aprel 30, 2017) – Again, blood flowed from the head of Jon Lemke. Yana, “The” Ryan Sanders had his hand raised in victory.

Bu safar, ammo, there was zero controversy or conjecture about the finish, and that authoritative ending made Sanders an NEF mixed martial arts champion for the first time.

Sanders used a guillotine choke to stop Lemke just 22 seconds into the second round and win the vacant New England Fights lightweight championship at “NEF 28: Yengilmas,” held Shanba Lewiston Androscoggin Bank Tigzirt kechasi.

Their previous non-title confrontation in November 2016 ended with Lemke unable to continue due to an accidental cut. Sanders earned the victory by winning the first two rounds on all three judges’ scorecards.

In the title-bout rematch, Sanders likely was behind on those cards after Lemke used a late takedown to punctuate what had been a back-and-forth, stand-up opening session.

“He hit me right in the … gut, and it … hurt,” Sanders said, peppering the statement with the smile and the expletives that are his calling card. “I knew the first round was going to tough, because he’s a killer, and I tend to be a slow starter.”

Sanders (14-8) wasted no time getting Lemke (6-8) to the mat and earning the tap in round two. It was his seventh win in nine NEF appearances.

The Bangor-based battler dedicated the win to his wife, Vanessa, who was in the cage to put the belt around her husband’s waist. The couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary Juma.

“She saved my life,” Sanders said. “She’s the reason I’m here, the reason I fight, and the reason I’m a champion.”

CO-asosiy taqdirda, Josh Harvey (4-0) stayed undefeated with a brutal, 50-second knockout of Derek Shorey.

Shorey (4-9) returned to the NEF cage to raise funds for four of his children and their mother, who lost their home in a recent New Hampshire apartment fire.

“He’s a great guy and a super warrior. I’m glad he stepped up to fight,” Harvey said. “Next I’d like to fight someone else who’s undefeated.”

Matt Denning of Auburn ended his four-fight winless streak with authority. “Ken Doll” made his long-awaited return to the NEF cage with a first-round verdict over Josh Parker.

Denning used his grappling strength to win the grudge match. He rallied from an early takedown, dominated on the ground, and used a guillotine to put it away in the fourth minute.

“It feels good to win. I finally got one,” Denning said. “I’m at 145 funt, which is where I belong.”

Bellator veteran Walter Smith-Cotito improved his NEF record to 3-0, and he has done it against eye-opening opposition. On the heels of past wins over Bruce Boyington and Elias Leland, Smith-Cotito defeated Andre Belcarris via rear naked choke at 2:05 ikkinchi tur. Belcarris was making his pro debut after 34 havaskor xuruji.

Dominic Jones made a triumphant pro debut, taking out NEF mainstay Tollison Lewis with only 30 seconds remaining in the first round. Jones won all his amateur fights by decision, but be used his wrestling acumen to dominate his taller opponent on the ground and earn the TKO.

First-round stoppages also were the rule in the amateur portion of the card, with all four fights ending in under two minutes.

The most controversial result involved Caleb “Dr. Feelgood "Ostin, an 18-year-old senior out of Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, taking on James Ploss of Kaze Dojo in Lancester, Nyu-Xempshir. It was the cage debut for both combatants.

Ploss was the aggressor from the opening bell and immediately took the action to the mat. That also played to the strengths of Austin, who amassed an astonishing 208-11 record while winning two state championships as a schoolboy wrestlers.

At about the 30-second mark, Ploss applied a guillotine and forced a tap from Austin. Unfortunately for Ploss, the referee did not see Austin tap and he allowed the fight to continue after Ploss had released the hold.

Austin took full advantage of the reprieve and showed power in both his stand-up and striking game, eventually earning a TKO in the flyweight fracas at the 1:57 belgi.

Josh “Basketball” Jones left no doubt whatsoever in his debut victory over Sean Worcester (0-3).

Jones, 29, who was drafted by the NBA Development League before embarking on a professional career in Germany and Canada, went on the early attack with looping haymakers. He dropped Worcester to the canvas and ended the middleweight scrap with a barrage of haymakers after only 20 soniya.

Jacob Deppmeyer evened his ledger in the amateur hexagon at 1-1 with a 77-second dismissal of Glenn Kasabian at a catch weight of 140. The wins by Dominic and Josh Jones as well as Dettmeyer made First Class MMA a perfect 3-0 on the evening.

FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS TO A SHOT AT THE GOLD, JACKSON AND VELADO TAKE MMA CAREERS TO A NEW LEVEL AT NEF 25

 

Tomonidan: Kalle Oakes

Humility is the undertone for any conversation with Jimmy Jackson about his mixed martial arts career. It was a humbling experience that twisted Rafael Velado’s arm into the world of combat sports in the first place.

One of the men will depart Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston wielding a source of pride – the New England Fights amateur lightweight championship belt – after their clash at “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” this Shanba, Sentyabr 10.

Mention the idea of his earning a title shot in the hexagon and Jackson (3-2) almost can’t withhold a laugh.

“It’s a big opportunity for someone like me,” Jackson said. “I never thought I would be fighting for a title. I’ve had a ton of teammates come up to me and say, ‘You deserve this! Way to go!’ I just never thought of myself as that top-tier fighter. I’ve always been the guy kind of behind the scenes.”

Easy enough for the Bangor fighter to blend in, considering that he trains at Young’s MMA with the likes of Aaron “Relentless” Lacey, “The” Ryan Sanders, and Josh “Hook On” Harvey.

Fighting for the belt vacated by stablemate Harvey isn’t an endeavor that would have entered Jackson’s mind back in 2012, when he accepted a fight in Vermont on a relative lark. He won via submission, with a choke, ichida 96 soniya.

“My training started out as me and a few other guys messing around in a basement,” Jackson said. “My first fight was spur of the moment. I won and it sort of got the adrenaline going, kabi, ‘I can do this. I did pretty good.’”

Through a co-worker, he connected up with Young’s MMA.

After a learning curve that included back-to-back losses in 2013, Jackson steadily improved and defeated two consecutive opponents to earn his title opportunity.

“It’s a blessing and a curse. It’s truly a family. These are guys who truly stand by each other, in hard times, bad times, in and out of the gym,” Jackson said of wearing Young’s colors. “But on the flip side, everybody’s watching you, expecting a certain amount of entertainment from you. I want to perform at such a level that people are excited to watch me fight.”

While most fighters go through the drudgery of training in order to bask in the glory of fight night, Jackson contends that it’s the training he loves most. And entering the cage, he claims, is not about him.

“Fighting, menga, is just what I can do to show everybody what my coaches have accomplished,” Jackson said. “They sacrifice so much to give us fighters the recognition and they get very little recognition in return. The only reason I get in the cage is to represent them.”

Jackson gravitated to MMA with minimal experience in combat sports. Velado, of Norridgewock, brought a decade of jiu-jitsu and a black belt to the table.

That journey had less glamorous beginnings, ammo.

“In July 2005, I was playing basketball and a guy on my own team, if you can believe it, punched me in the face. He took exception to something and he messed me up pretty good,” Velado said. “From watching UFC, I thought I knew what to do to defend myself, and I pulled him down with an arm bar. Pathetically, but I pulled him down.”

Velado called it a reality check, one that led him to enroll in jiu-jitsu classes taught by Aaron Blake in Boothbay Harbor.

“I think all guys think they will be able to defend themselves in a situation, and most of those guys are wrong,” Velado said.

In more than three years of tournament competition, Velado said he fought more than 50 times and lost only three matches.

He grew restless and sought a new challenge. It led him to John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham. Velado was primed for his debut, but a sparring session with heavyweight teammate Nick Gulliver led to a torn MCL in his knee.

“That took about six to eight months before I fully recovered,” Velado said. “I dropped in on John again in April 2015, and we got a plan together. He got me in there with a lot of good wrestler types, including himself. He let me train with Marcus Davis and some other guys to expand my skill set.”

Velado has won three times in NEF, capped by a split decision over Mike Peitersen of Young’s.

“You’re in for a war. Young’s guys, they’re great. They’re all respectful. They train like savages,” Velado said. “Look who he’s training against…Those guys could fight anywhere in the United States and do well. You can’t not get better training against guys like that. You can’t not be a stud.”

Jackson, who said that MMA has lowered his stress level while reminding him that there is nothing else in life he can’t handle, hinted that he is the underdog on paper.

“He went three rounds with Mike Pietersen, and Mike is a tough dude. I know he’s a black belt in jits,” Jackson said. “I’m taking a realistic approach. I’m more focused on what I need to do and can’t worry about what he’s going to do. I don’t think he’s going to show me anything that I can’t handle.”

The question, Velado said, is whether or not Jackson’s modesty suggests any level of uncertainty.

“The difference between us is that I know I have jiu-jitsu in my tool box. He doesn’t have anything like that in his tool box that I know of,” Velado said. “He’s going to see what level he’s at in this fight. He’s going to find a way to get past me, or he’s going to take a step back and say is this something I really want to be doing? He definitely has to have confidence if he wants to beat me.”

The opening bell on this Shanba, Sentyabr 10 uchun o'rnatiladi 7 p.m. The current docket for “NEF 25: Heroes and Villains” includes three professional boxing matches, five pro mixed martial arts bouts and five amateur MMA scraps.

NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “RedneckMundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

YUQORI MENNING ENGLIGI UCHUN IMKONIYAT

Bangor, Meyn (Iyul 29, 2016) - Devin Pauell aralash yakkakurashlar bo'yicha o'qituvchi va jangchi sifatida o'zining talabchan hayotidan bir oqshom dam olayotgan edi..

U odatdagi mashg'ulot menyusida bo'lmagan ovqat bilan o'ralgan edi. Xfinity markazida baland musiqa va ziyofat muhitiga mos keladigan bayramona ichimliklar bor edi, Mansfilddagi ochiq kontsert maydoni, Massachusetts.

Qandaydir tarzda, Pauell uning telefon jiringlaganini eshitdi, yoki cho'ntagida tebranishini his qildi. Yaqinlashib kelayotgan suhbat uning keyingi kun rejalarini sezilarli darajada o'zgartirdi.

Pauell Jon Lemke bilan "NEF Presents Dana White" da qaytishni qabul qildi: Jang qidirmoqda,” o‘tkaziladi Juma, Avgust 5 Bangordagi Cross Insurance Center-da.

"Yaxshi do'stim Jessi Erikson jarohat olganini bildim,- dedi Pauell, "va ular mendan to'ldirishimni so'rashdi. Men "albatta" dedim. UFC vakili bo'lgan har qanday kishi, Hech qachon Dana White, agar sizda ularning oldida jang qilish imkoniyati bo'lsa, agar imkoningiz bo'lsa, buni qilishni xohlaysiz. Bu yoqimli bo'lishi kerak, samimiy muhit."

Powell (7-1) engil vaznda NEF chempioni, tasmani Eriksonning “NEF”da texnik nokauti bilan mustahkamladi 22: Barcha yo'llar bu erga olib boradi" aprel oyida. Lemke (5-5) ushbu kamar uchun kurashda avvalgi chempion Bryus Boyingtonga yutqazdi.

Jang engil vazn chegarasidan besh funt yuqori bo'lib, ushlash vaznida bo'lib o'tadi 160.

“Bu juda katta imkoniyat,- dedi Lemke, qo'shni Brewerda yashaydi. “Men juda minnatdorman. Men MMAdagi eng nufuzli odam oldida jang qilishni intiqlik bilan kutaman.

Ularning jangi Uayt oldida namoyish etiladigan sakkizta professional to'qnashuvlardan biridir, yaqin atrofdagi Hermon shahrida tug'ilgan, va kogortalar Din Tomas va Mett Serra. Uchlik mamlakat bo'ylab MMA bo'yicha kashf qilinmagan iste'dodlarni izlash uchun Uaytning YouTube sahifasida, shuningdek, UFC Fight Pass obunasiga asoslangan oqimli video xizmatida namoyish etiladigan realiti-shouda sayohat qiladi..

Ma'lumki, hech bir inson diqqat markazidan qochmaydi. Lemke Bellatorda Eriksonni to'xtatdi 93 ikki yil oldin Lyuistonda. Pauell o'zining g'alabali seriyasini 5 taga ko'tardi va bu g'alabaga erishdi Iyun 17 Foxwoodsdagi Butunjahon janglar seriyasida Tommy Marcellino ustidan.

“Bilaman, ular bu yerda asosiy musobaqadagi yigitlarni tomosha qilish uchun kelgandir,Pauell Uayt va uning atrofidagilar haqida aytdi, "Lekin men ular uxlay olmaydigan spektakl qo'yishni rejalashtiryapman. Jang uslubim bilan, juda tajovuzkor va g'ayrioddiy, Ishonchim komilki, men ularning e'tiborini tortaman. Bu sport to'g'ri imkoniyatni qo'lga kiritish va undan foydalanishni o'z ichiga oladi”.

Pauell jangni uch hafta oldin ogohlantirganligi sababli u biron bir ustunlikni sezdimi yoki yo'qligini so'rashganda, Lemke muloyimlik bilan u Eriksonga bundan ikki hafta oldin tayyorgarlik ko'ra boshlaganini ta'kidladi.

Lemke esa Josh LaBergega yutqazdi bo'yicha Iyun 10.

“Menda tayyorgarlik ko'rishim uchun yana bir necha hafta bor edi. Men hali ham mashq qilardim, lekin hammasi shu. Men juda yaxshi formada edim, lekin jangovar holatda emasdim,- dedi Lemke. "Bu sizdan so'raydigan narsalardan biri va siz o'zingizga o'xshaysiz, “Oh, bir, Men buni chindan ham qilishni xohlayman, lekin.’ Bu emas, balki faqat juda katta imkoniyat. Bu mutlaqo ideal emas, lekin jangchi sifatida, Albatta, siz bu qiyinchilikni qidiryapsiz, Devin esa bu yerdagi o'yindagi eng yaxshi yigitlardan biri."

U buni birinchi qo'ldan o'rgandi, va jarangdor uslubda, ikki jangchi avvalroq may oyida to'qnashganda 10, 2014. Pauell faqat bo'g'ilish orqali g'alaba qozondi 23 soniya.

"O'tgan safar unchalik yaxshi o'tmadi. O'sha jangga qadar men uchun juda ko'p chalg'itadigan narsalar va turli vaziyatlar bo'lgan. Undan oldin chempionlik uchun kurashdan voz kechishim kerak edi, buni siz hech qachon qilishni xohlamaysiz. Men uchun jangning to'rtdan uch qismi endigina qafasga qaytish edi,- dedi Lemke.

“Men hozir butunlay boshqacha jangchiman,- deya qo'shimcha qildi u. "Men hamma joyda oldinga siljdim deb o'ylayman, nafaqat o'z mahoratim, balki yondashuvim bilan. Men juda ko'p janglar o'tkazdim va g'alaba va mag'lubiyatlardan saboq oldim. Siz doimo o'rganasiz. Ba'zan qiyin yo'lni o'rganasiz."

Lemke va Pauellning har biri bir yildan kamroq vaqt ichida to'rtinchi marta qafasga kirishadi. Aynan shu faoliyat qisqarttirilgan o'quv lageridan so'ng hech bir kishi bunday qiyin vazifani qabul qilishdan bezovtalanmasligining sababidir..

Pauell misolida, Jang - bu Somersvortdagi Nostos MMAda egasi va bosh o'qituvchisi sifatida uning kundalik hayotining tabiiy davomi., N.H.

“Men bor narsam uchun minnatdorman. Mening 4 yoshli qizim bor va u akademiyaga kelib jiu-jitsu bilan shug'ullanishni yaxshi ko'radi.,- dedi Pauell. “Mening ajoyib hayotim bor. Men faqat dars berishim kerak, mashq qiling va jang qiling. Ko'p odamlar har kecha bolalari bilan bir necha soatdan ko'proq vaqt o'tkazmaydilar. Biz bu sport uchun ko'p narsani qurbon qilamiz. Odamlar faqat ko'rishadi 15 do'zax daqiqalari. Ular boshqa hamma narsani ko'rmaydilar."

Pauell o'zining gullab-yashnagan karerasida uchinchi marta NEF vakili bo'lishdan mamnun.

“NEF – mamlakatdagi eng katta aksiyalardan biri. Ular Meyndan kelgan yigitlardan super yulduzlarni yaratadilar,- dedi Pauell. “Men Butunjahon janglar seriyasi uchun jang qildim, va men ularni taqillatganim kabi ovoz berishni xohlamayman, lekin bu ancha kichikroq shou edi. NEF juda ko'p muxlislarga ega, va endi siz ularni Cape Cod va Bangor kabi joylarga borishlarini ko'rasiz, va bu faqat uni yanada oshirishi mumkin. Ular buni to'g'ri qilishadi, va ular uchun u erga qadam qo'yganimdan xursandman."

Lemke nafaqat Uayt, balki Bangor hududidan kelgan ona shahri muxlislari oldida kurashning qo'shimcha bosimiga duch kelmoqda..

Ularning ko'pchiligi uning Lyuistondagi uchrashuvlari uchun to'rt soatlik aylanma sayohatga o'rganmagan.

“Jang baribir shunchaki jang, va keyingi jang nima bo'lishidan qat'i nazar, eng katta kurashdir. Siz u erda kim tomosha qilishini yoki natijada nima bo'lishini hech qachon bilmaysiz,- dedi Lemke, u raqibi bilan ko'proq tashvishlanayotganini ko'rsatadi. “Devin ajoyib jangchi. U ajoyib mahoratga ega. U juda mashhur va u buni qo'llab-quvvatlash uchun ajoyib rekordga ega. Bu, albatta, men uchun bir umrlik sinov. U qafasdan tashqarida ham ajoyib yigit. Men u bilan yaxshi munosabatdaman. O‘ylaymanki, biz bir-birimizni hurmat qilamiz”.

Pauell bu shubhalarni tasdiqladi, Garchi u o'z maqsadi navbatdagi hal qiluvchi g'alabadan kam emasligini yana bir bor ta'kidladi.

“U yaxshi yigit. Men bunday chuqurlikka borishim shart emas, qorong'u joy. Men tushunamanki, mening vazifam kimnidir shu qadar qattiq xafa qilishdirki, uning hayotini saqlab qolish uchun hakam harakatga kirishishi kerak. Bu go'zal, zo'ravonlik sporti. Men bilan bir xil maqsadlar bilan u erga kirishga jur'at etgan har bir kishini hurmat qilaman,- dedi Pauell. “Men Lemke bilan uchrashuv kutyapman. U agressiv bo'ldi. U jang qilish uchun keladi. Men ham xuddi shunday narsalarni qilishni yaxshi ko'raman. Birinchi jang qisqa muddatli edi. Agar buni takrorlay olsam, Ishonchim komilki, Dana Uayt baxtli bo'ladi."

YOUNG’S MMA HAS HOME FIELD ADVANTAGE ON AUGUST 5 IN BANGOR

Bangor, Meyn (Iyul 28, 2016) – The dedicated delegation from Young’s MMA of Bangor usually relish their reputation as road warriors in New England Fights.

Lewiston is long established as the hub city for the organization, drawing competitors and spectators from both directions on the Maine Turnpike. Fighters and fans from the Penobscot River valley find that staying engaged for those fight cards four or five times a year requires greater commitment than most.

For only the second time in its history, the regional promotion will bring its cage to the Queen City. "NEF taqdim etadi: Dana White Lookin’ for a Fight” is slated for Friday, Avgust 5 at Cross Insurance Center.

Young’s, the gym located just a few blocks away at 127 Hammond Street, will celebrate by showcasing one of its fighters in four of the eight scheduled professional bouts. Battle-tested Ryan Sanders and relative newcomers Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey and CJ Ewer all are poised to take their best shot with the support of a raucous, partisan crowd.

“That’s the most exciting part for me, being from Brewer. I went to Brewer High School,” Lacey said. “It was definitely a huge, huge draw for me, seeing it in person. I went to the fights when NEF came to Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Iyul 12, 2013) and all I could think is, ‘Man, I want to do this.’ This has been a goal of mine for a long time.”

Sanders (10-7) will battle Derrick Kennington (11-7) in a clash of wily lightweights that will be on the featured attractions on the docket.

His three stablemates each emerged victorious in their only previous pro bout. Lacey will lock up with John Santos (3-3) of Derry, N.H., tuklar kurashda. Harvey has an appointment at featherweight. Ko'za, who won an amateur bout at the outdoor concert venue in Bangor, will be tested by Ruben Redman (0-1) in a welterweight scrap.

Even with numerous friends in attendance, the four men know it is the presence of UFC president White, who grew up in nearby Hermon, which could have career-changing ramifications.

“It’s a great opportunity. It’s awesome to know that someone like that is going to be in the building on fight night,” Sanders said. “But for me it’s just another fight. I don’t want to get caught up in all that. Just let it unfold.”

White and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra travel the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Ha, the entrepreneur’s Maine connections are well-documented. White also previously brought UFC Fight Night 47 to Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, ammo.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,” Harvey said. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Men sizlardan buning uchun xursandman. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. People see that and want to train with the best guys they can,” Sanders said. “We definitely push each other. You have guys who kick your ass every day. We want the best for each other. That’s why we’re here.”

Harvey expects the numbers and commitment to grow after White’s visit. He has been training at Young’s for three years. The cage side seat at the waterfront inspired him to step up his own training regimen. It’s a built-in advantage, Harvey noted, that has belonged almost exclusively to Lewiston until now.

“That’s what gets most people started. They go and see the fights and they want to try it,” Harvey said. “That’s why you see places like Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) and First Class MMA (Topsham) growing so much. The fights are right there in their backyard.”

Lacey characterizes Young’s as “a gym full of killers.”

The statistics underscore Lacey’s point. The three pros with unblemished records all won their debut in two minutes or less.

“Ryan has only gone to a decision I think one time in his career. He’s a finisher. Josh won his fight by submission in the first round. CJ is super strong,” Lacey said. “They challenge me to be the best I can be every day. They keep me focused not just in the gym but in the game of life outside the cage.”

Although he is facing an opponent with significantly greater experience, Lacey expects a helpful adrenaline rush from having so many familiar faces at his back.

“It is different. I fought I think seven times in Lewiston between amateur fights and my pro debut,"Dedi. “This gives me a chance to be in my comfort zone. And a lot of my fans can’t make it down there. By the time you figure in the travel, the price of the tickets, maybe staying overnight, they just can’t do it.”

Harvey agreed, pointing out that it’s the initial fight for which he hasn’t needed to pack a suitcase.

“This will be the first time I’ve slept in my own bed the night before a fight. I think it’s a huge advantage,” Harvey said. “Some people might think with more of your fans there that there’s more pressure, but I think it just builds you up.”
