MATT GLOVER ATOPA FUTURO NA LOITA TRAS O FÚTBOL

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 22, 2016) – Durante os anos 2003-2006, Matt Glover (1-0) foi o xogador do Mountain Valley High School en Rumford, Maine que fixeches non quere acabar mirando dende o outro lado da pel de porco. De máis de seis metros de alto e un peso de 250 quilos, o apoio medio pesadelo axudou a construír Mountain Valley (MV) nunha dinastía futbolística moderna castigando aos portadores de balón durante catro anos condecorados e levando a MV a dous campionatos estatais no proceso.. Presionou o banco 400 libras na sala de musculación e foi un inferno sobre rodas no campo converténdoo nun poderoso xogador de dobre ameaza tanto en ataque como en defensa.. A súa reputación é lendaria na zona de River Valley, no oeste de Maine, como un atleta temido e respectado.

 

Despois de graduarse en Mountain Valley en 2007, Glover deixou atrás o fútbol para ir traballar. Casou coa súa moza de moito tempo, Lindsey, e tivo un fillo. Mercaron unha casa xuntos. Durante as estacións de verán e outono, percorreu o circuíto de feiras agrícolas en Maine cos seus cabalos tirando, unha tradición familiar na que se criou dende pequeno.

 

"A miña familia leva competindo en tiro de cabalos dende que era neno,", explicou Glover. "Leva moito tempo e fai que o meu pai sexa novo. Levántome cedo todas as mañás para exercitar os meus equipos de cabalos antes de ir ao traballo pola noite. Entre o meu pai, a miña muller e eu, temos 11 cabalos de tiro. Embalamos o noso propio feno para todos eles. Encántame apoialos no arrastre e velos cavar".

 

Pero a pesar da plenitude da súa vida, a convocatoria da competición aínda lle facía aceno e deixoulle unha sensación de morriña. "Tería matado para ter esa mesma sensación de novo,", recordou Glover. "E entón entrei na gaiola".

 

A principios de 2015, Irmán menor de Matt, Ryan, outro destacado no fútbol de Mountain Valley, fixo as súas artes marciais mixtas (MMA) debut en "NEF 16". Ryan pululou ao seu opoñente na súa primeira loita e detívoo nun estremecedor 12 segundos. Matt estivo presente esa noite e atopou a súa curiosidade espertada ante a perspectiva de competir nun tipo diferente de deporte de contacto..

 

Máis tarde 2015, Ryan competiu polo campionato de peso pesado amateur NEF inaugural. Aquela noite abandonou unha decisión ao actual titular do título, Billy "Bigfoot" Leahy (3-1). Tras a vitoria, a conversa do lixo rapidamente aumentou entre Leahy e os membros de Berserkers MMA, baseado en Rumford e dirixido polos adestradores Gary Dolloff e Mike Hansen (3-3). "Cando Billy Leahy chamou a todos os mozos de Berserkers despois de que gañara ao meu irmán, entón foi o xogo,", recordou Matt.

 

Matt comezou a adestrar estreitamente cos membros do corpo técnico dos Berserkers, incluíndo Hansen e outros, a quen acredita a súa acelerada curva de aprendizaxe no deporte. Adicionalmente, Matt xogou moito co irmán Ryan, que se estaba preparando para unha loita propia a mesma noite na que Matt estaba programado para facer o seu debut en MMA. "O meu irmán e eu non somos coma outros irmáns,", explicou Matt. "Imos ao ximnasio e pegámonos uns aos outros e despois volvemos a casa no mesmo camión; así fomos sempre.. Empuxar, empurrar, empuxe: todo é competencia connosco. Desde o primeiro en chegar á seguinte farda de palleiro no campo de palleiro ata o primeiro en chegar á mesa da cea, así é como operamos.

 

"Matt é unha verdadeira persoa competitiva,” a súa muller, Lindsey, confirmado. "Todo é unha competición con el. Sabía que a loita en gaiolas alimentaría esa fame competitiva que sente todo o tempo cando non tira dos seus cabalos.

 

Matt fixo o seu debut oficial en MMA en febreiro en "NEF 21: OS INMORTAIS” contra o veterano duradeiro Gravin Guillen (2-5). Matt superou as expectativas do debut ao rematar Guillén en só 1:30 da primeira volta por nocaut técnico (QUEN). Cando o árbitro despexou a escena, O rostro de Guillen mostraba os efectos das fazañas de Glover que batían récords na sala de musculación. Os fans de Glover's Rumford que asistiron en gran cantidade esa noite, expresaron a súa aprobación en aplausos atronadores. “Ao principio, Tiven bolboretas,"Lembrou Glover, “Pero unha vez oín a toda a xente aplaudir, o único que fixo foi me infundir. Estaba preparado para loitar. Gañar ou perder, Sabía que tiñan as miñas costas e moito máis".

 

Esta fin de semana, Glover está a punto de facer a súa segunda aparición na gaiola da NEF cando se enfronte a Ras Hylton de 6'6" (1-0) do ximnasio rival, First Class MMA. Hylton fixo o seu debut a mesma noite que Glover e, como o seu rival esta fin de semana, fixo un traballo rápido do seu opoñente ao conseguir unha vitoria por TKO en 1:21 da primeira quenda.

 

Fundador e adestrador principal de Berserkers MMA, Mike Hansen, prevé unha noite dominante para Glover. "Matt é moito máis forte do que parece, que é incrible se algunha vez o viches,", afirmou Hansen. "Un rapaz do seu tamaño normalmente loita coa axilidade, pero Matt non. É un super deportista e fácil de adestrar. Matt mellora a diario e será un gigante na división afeccionada de peso pesado.

 

"Ras está afeito a ser o tipo máis grande en todas as súas pelexas. Non será así o sábado pola noite. Matt poñerá as súas mans sobre Hylton dun xeito que nunca antes lle tocaron. Non vexo a Ras afastarse desta pelexa coa man alta. Debería consideralo unha vitoria se pode marchar en absoluto cando Matt remate con el.

 

Entrando Sábado noite, Glover séntese ben preparado para seguir construíndo o seu éxito no deporte de MMA que comezou a crear en febreiro. Se o seu historial deportivo é algún indicador, debería ter confianza no futuro. "Estou preparado para esta loita,", dixo Glover. "Nesta loita, Estou máis relaxado porque o meu irmán non está loitando e podo concentrarme na miña loita... Despois da primeira vitoria, Sabía que estaba enganchado porque non hai mellor sensación".

 

"Cando a xente comezou a falar con Matt sobre competir en MMA, Estaba completamente en contra do 110% ", dixo Lindsey. "Pero despois de velo adestrar tanto cos mozos no ximnasio e ver que ten a mesma paixón por iso que polo seu cabalo., Sentinme máis a gusto e decidín que se iso era algo que quería perseguir, Apoiaríao de calquera forma que puidese.

 

"Os irmáns Glover loitando en MMA é algo importante para Rumford," Lindsey declarou ao peche. "Cada vez que está preto da noite de loita, esta cidade cobra vida. Non importa onde vaia dentro do deporte, esta cidade e a súa familia apoialo".

BAMFORD & GULLIVER: A FIRST CLASS FRIENDSHIP FORGED THROUGH FIRE

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Abril 21, 2016) – Bryce Bamford (1-0) and Nick Gulliver (2-0) share a bond that was built by spilling blood and sweat together in Brazilian Jit Jitsu gyms across Maine and New England. When they enter the NEF cage together o sábado night in Lewiston at “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ,” it will be the culmination of a combat sports friendship that goes back almost a decade.

 

“Let’s just call him ‘The Hulk,’ since he is a machine on the ground and strong as an ox,” Gulliver, a police officer by trade, joked when asked about his gym partner and confidant, Bamford. “’The Hulk’ and I have been training together for a long time… He is a one of a kind training partner. If I look at him and say that I need help with something, he will help me in any way that he can. He has everything you want in a training partner and a friend. He is a great guy and I’m so happy I can train with someone like Bryce.”

 

Bamford and Gulliver first met several years ago at Fitness Styles, originally located in Livermore Falls, Maine. “It was more just ‘go and punch each other’ and it was a little wild,” Gulliver recalled. Soon after, Bamford moved his training over to The Foundry in Farmington, Maine where he began focusing on Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) in earnest. Before long, Bamford recruited Gulliver to join him at The Foundry where the two have remained loyal training partners. “Best thing I could have done,’ Gulliver stated. “I’ve been training with Bryce ever since.”

 

Ano pasado, Gulliver, who currently holds the rank of purple belt in BJJ, began cross-training at John Raio’s First Class MMA in Topsham and returned the favor to Bamford by pulling him over to Raio’s gym where the two began supplementing their BJJ studies with rigorous mixed martial arts (MMA) adestramento. Immediately finding that the sport was a fit for both of them, Gulliver was the first to test his MMA skills in the NEF cage. He made his debut last June at “NEF 18: MADE IN AMERICA” and finished Ora Spratt (0-2) por finalización no primeiro round.

 

“One of the most memorable moments that I have of Bryce was after my first MMA fight,” Gulliver recalled. “Bryce came down to speak with me and he congratulated me on my first win. I looked at him and thanked him for all the help that he has given me over the past few years. Then I said to him: ‘Now it’s your turn.’ He looked at me and shook his head. I could tell he was hooked at that moment. But he said, ‘My mom came and watched you and loved it, but I don’t think she can handle watching me fight.’ I laughed because I knew that it wouldn’t be long before he would be in the cage fighting next to me.”

 

Gulliver was right.

 

Bamford, 40, a dedicated father and family man, runs a slasher at Palletone in Livermore Falls during his day job. The soft spoken, yet charismatic heavyweight currently holds the rank of Brown Belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. As complimentary as Gulliver is of him, Bamford equally values Gulliver’s work ethic and the deep bond that the two share. “When Nick sets a goal, he doesn’t stop until he gets there,” Bamford stated. “He is relentless.”

 

After witnessing Gulliver’s stellar debut in the NEF hexagon, Bamford felt the itch to follow his friend’s lead and challenge himself in the ultimate proving ground. “I blame Nick for the fact that I am stepping into the cage and not sitting up in the stands drinking cold beer with everyone else,” laughed Bamford.

 

Bamford made his NEF debut in November 2015 at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE.” He needed only 19 seconds to stop his opponent that night.

 

“Bryce is 40 anos, but that number means nothing—just ask anyone who has grabbed ahold of him,” Gulliver stated. “If he would have got involved in this sport 20 anos, no one would have touched him if he was training the way he trains today. He’s the first guy in the gym and the last guy out. That is why his age means nothing. He has heart and a lot of it. I respect a guy with the outlook on life like Bryce Bamford has. He can teach us all something.”

 

Esta fin de semana, Bamford and Gulliver are set to take to the cage again. Bamford is scheduled to face a man ten years younger than him in Joe Krech (0-1) and Gulliver is set to take on his biggest challenge to date when he faces former multiple-time state champion wrestler Dave Smith (2-1) from Beserkers MMA in Rumford, Maine.

 

“’All Roads Lead Here’ is a title so fitting for a story like the one between Bryce and I,” Gulliver stated. “Every day we have been training—every time we make each other bleed or sweat or tired—it all leads up to 23 de abril. This is why we push each other—for opportunities like this.”

 

Leading into this weekend’s blockbuster event, there are strong rumors that this could be Bamford’s last MMA fight. At 40-years old and with a loving wife and child at home, there are other interests that the camping and motorcyclist enthusiast is passionate to pursue. If NEF 22 is in fact the last time that the two storied training partners take to the cage together, they intend to capitalize on the opportunity to solidify their martial arts history with a pair of wins o sábado.

 

"En 20 anos from now, I can see Bryce and I talking about this fight, drinking a beer,” Gulliver stated in closing. “We won’t talk about how much work we put into the fight, or how many hours we trained, or how many times we kicked each other’s asses—but we will talk about the fun time we had in that moment. Some things in life, you don’t forget. Times like this upcoming weekend are one of those moments. I’m glad I can share that with Bryce.”

ALL ROADS LEAD TO MONUMENTAL FIGHT CARD IN LEWISTON

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 31, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.

 

On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Maine, Brandon “O Canón” Baga(11-1, 7 Kos) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 Kos). Baga, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.

 

That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Sicário” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 Kos), Oscar De La Hoya (39-6, 30 Kos), Lennox Lewis (41-2-1, 32 Kos) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 Kos) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “Spoiler” para “O Canón” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “NEF 21” mes pasado, NEF MMA regular Crowsneck Boutin (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 Kos). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.

 

Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will be Jesse “O Viking” Erickson (6-4) e Devin Powell (5-1) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.

 

“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview on The MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”

 

Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.

 

“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” dixo Nick DiSalvo, copropietario e promotor de NEF. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”

 

“Tolo” e “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) e Matt “Ken boneca” Denning (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage on 23 de abril.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (0-0) as he takes on veteran “Shatterproof 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-5) nun ataque pluma. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as Caleb Salón (6-3) e Erik Nelson (2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “NEF XX” último outono, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “NEF 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between Angela Mozo(0-1) e “Hollywood” Hannah Sparrell (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “NEF XIX.”

Josh Parker (0-2-1) está programa para facer fronte Evincii “Prize Fighter” Dixon (7-13-1, 2 Kos) nun concurso de catro rolda.

 

Josh Parker is the founder and head coach of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine. Prior to entering the boxing ranks, Parker was a regular in the NEF MMA cage. He boxed to a draw against fellow NEF MMA alum Elias Leland (0-0-1) last November in Lewiston. Máis recentemente, Parker dropped a decision to undefeated Julio Perez (4-0) on a boxing card in Rhode Island. He is hungry for his first victory as a professional boxer.

 

“I want to thank NEF for another opportunity to fight,” dixo Parker. “I have a lot to prove. My skills have not been reflected in my past few performances. I’ve switched up some aspects of my training and I’m confident that I will finally be able to bring the real me to the ring. I will be facing an experienced opponent who will present some tough challenges for me – which is exactly what I wanted. The toughest opponent I’ve ever faced is myself, and now that I’ve figured him out, it doesn’t matter who’s standing in front of me.”

 

A veteran of more than twenty professional fights, Evincii Dixon has been one of the northeast’s most active boxers since his debut in the summer of 2013. Dixon, who calls Lancaster, Pennsylvania his home, often fights multiple times in a given month in places as far away as Texas, California and, máis recentemente, Ohio. He made the 500-mile trek to Lewiston, Maine last month, picking up a win in the NEF ring against Antonio Chaves Fernandez (7-26-3). Dixon will be looking to get back in the win column at “NEF 22” after a loss last weekend.

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 17, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. hoxe cedo, NEF anunciou a incorporación dun combate de peso semipesado profesional á parte de MMA “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Micrófono “O Bigode” Hansen (3-3) asinou a cara Jesse “The Barbarian” Baughman (0-1) cun peso de combate de 205 libras-.

 

Mike Hansen é o membro fundador de Berserkers MMA con sede en Rumford, Maine. É un exalumno do Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) onde gañou un campionato estatal de loita como peso pesado 2004. Hansen fixo o seu debut en MMA pouco despois de graduarse no instituto, só para afastarse do deporte durante unha década para servir ao seu país como enxeñeiro de combate no exército dos Estados Unidos.. Volveu á gaiola de MMA 2015 como membro da lista de NEF. Despois de reiniciar a súa carreira cun rexistro de 2-1, Hansen deixou caer o seu primeiro combate 2016 a Zach Elkins (1-1) mes pasado. El buscará recuperarse desa derrota Abril 23.

 

“Estou desexando volver á gaiola despois desta derrota,” dixo Hansen. “Non estaba mentalmente nesa loita, así que esta vez con Baughman, Vou estar mentalmente centrado. Jesse é un tipo grande e un loitador duro – e parece un tipo co que me podería levar ben. Así, cando rematemos de esnaquizarnos, esperemos que poidamos tomar unha copa.”

 

Como Hansen, Baughman é un veterano militar dos Estados Unidos, onde serviu nunha unidade de recoñecemento das forzas especiais e obtivo unha certificación de nivel tres en combates do exército.

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 16, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” o sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. A principios deste mes, NEF announced the addition of a professional lightweight contest to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Matt “Ken boneca” Denning (2-1) vai reunirse Josh “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) cun peso de loita de 150 quilos. Since the announcement, the anticipation has continued to accelerate for the upcoming bout. In a recent interview with Jason Floyd on The MMA Report, Harvey made some comments that has sent the energy around the fight into overdrive.

 

“I find him disrespectful as a person and I want to keep it classy on a podcast,” Harvey stated in the beginning of the interview. “I do not want to speak my full mind. You meet the guy, talk to him for a minute and you want to fight him. But it depends on which Matt you are talking to. Because he can rub people the wrong way and he can kiss their ass on the same day. That is who he is.”

 

The bad blood between the two rivals has been rising for a long time. The potential matchup had been talked about for years, but is scheduled to finally become a reality on April 23rd.

 

“In this case, I’ve wanted to fight Matt Denning since we were both amateurs,” Harvey stated to Floyd during the interview. “I couldn’t make it happen then. I guess I wasn’t the fight he wanted. No momento, I only had one or two amateur fights and he was towards the end of his amateur career.”

 

“He’s backed out of fights before at the pro level,” “Harvey stated. “He’s missed weight. Is it a career? Is it a hobby? Quero dicir, it’s for him to decide, but we’ll find out if he wants to show up to fight.”

 

When Floyd asked Harvey if the fight was personal, Harvey confirmed the obvious. “I think it is,” Harvey replied. “I’m not saying they’re going to want two refs in there to pull me off of him, but it’s going to finish that way.”

 

During the interview, Harvey also noted the difference in quality of training partners, as he sees it, and how that will impact the outcome of the fight.

 

“I don’t think he’s rolling with the animals that we’re bringing in every day,” Harvey stated. “The people he has submitted, I don’t think their jitz game was tight—and that’s why he took those fights.”

 

When asked how he would like to end the fight with Denning, Harvey explained to Floyd that a submission finish would be satisfying, but that he was prepared to create the finish wherever it presents itself.

 

“It would be nice to turn Ken Doll into Stretch Armstrong—that would be sweet,” Harvey stated toward the end of the interview. “But I’m going to beat him wherever the fight goes. I’m not going to force it down to beat him on the ground and I’m not going to force it to stay up. Claro, if he tries to take me down—I don’t give up takedowns for nobody. I’ll beat him wherever the fight goes.”

A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Ras Hylton (1-0) está programa para facer fronte Matt Glover (1-0) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Weighing in at 227-pounds and standing 6’6,” Ras Hylton towered over the top of the cage at “NEF 21” last month in his MMA debut. It took him just over a minute to dispatch his opponent, Zak Bergeron (0-1), using his reach advantage to pummel Bergeron with a barrage of strikes. Hylton is a member of Dragon Fire Martial Arts of South Portland, Maine, as well as First Class MMA based in Brunswick.

 

“I’m immensely grateful to my teams at Dragon Fire MMA and First Class MMA for helping me to prepare for this dream made real,” exclaimed Hylton. “I expect that Mr. Glover will help provide an excellent show for the fans as we both fight for victory, making this show as memorable as my debut was for me. All roads lead here, and I want mine to lead to victory. Thank you for all the support folks!”

 

En “NEF 21,” Matt Glover defeated Gravin Guillen (2-5) vía no primeiro round por nocaute técnico. During his time at Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) in Rumford, Maine, Glover was a standout on the football field. He is a member of Berserkers MMA where he trains under coaches Mike Hansen (3-3) and Gary Dolloff. Glover’s younger brother Ryan (Glover, 3-1) is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Light-Heavyweight Champion. At 236-pounds and 6’2,” Glover realizes he will need to overcome Hylton’s height and reach advantage on 23 de abril.

 

“I’m very excited for my next NEF battle,” said Glover. “I think I will be even more prepared and less nervous for this fight. My head will be clearer. For my debut, my brother was also on the card and I was a little distracted as a result, but for this fight, my mind is all business about what’s in front of me. Ras possesses a huge challenge with his height and reach, but I plan on neutralizing his kicks and getting inside and coming straight forward and throwing bombs. My training is getting me better and better and getting me more prepared every day. There will be some bloodshed on 23 de abril – and I will give 110% effort, as always.”

LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT AT NEF 22 WILL FEATURE TWO RETURNING ATHLETES

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 14, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Jeremy Tyler (4-3) vai asumir Corey Xuízo (1-2) cun peso de loita de 150 quilos.

 

En 23 de abril, it will be 19-months since Jeremy Tyler’s last appearance in the NEF MMA cage. In September of 2014, Tyler, a member of Team Irish in Brewer, Maine, lost to Matt Denning (2-1) via second-round submission. It was a fitting finish as all of Tyler’s seven previous bouts, whether wins or losses, have ended with a submission. Tyler’s last victory came in February of 2014 with a second-round arm triangle choke submission of Corey Hinkley (2-4). En “NEF 22,” Tyler will look to pick up his first win in over two years.

 

“I’m happy to have the opportunity to get back into the NEF cage,” said Tyler. “I have put in a lot of time into improving my skill set. I feel amazing going into this fight with Cory Trial. En 23 de abril, everyone is going to see that I’m back.”

 

Like Tyler, Cory Trial’s most recent win in the NEF cage was over Corey Hinkley. It was a stunning first-round knockout (KO) that was a finalist in the voting for NEF’s “KO do Ano” en 2015. It was also the quickest victory ever in the NEF cage, clocking in at a mere seven-seconds. Trial has not competed since a September 2015 loss to Rafael Velado (3-0) as he has been nursing several injuries. Training out of Ruthless MMA & Boxing of Benton, Maine, Trial predicts another KO finish at “NEF 22.”

 

“Primeiro, I want to thank NEF for giving me this opportunity and thank Jeremy for taking the fight,” dixo Xuízo. “I’ve been dealing with a couple injuries the last few months and it’s given me time to reflect and get my game right and in this fight everybody will see that I’m back! I was dealing with a couple of injuries leading up to my last fight, but I showed up ’cause I love to fight. I’m healthy now, training with the best team around and you’ll see the best Cory you’ve seen. This fight won’t go to the judges – I’ll be coming for the knockout! This is a fight you won’t want to miss!”

RECENTLY VACATED FEATHERWEIGHT TITLE TO BE FILLED AT NEF 22

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Marzo 11, 2016) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF 22: TODAS AS ESTRADAS conducen AQUÍ” en Sábado, Abril 23, 2016 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. A tarxeta de loita contará cunha mestura de artes marciais mixtas (MMA) e combates de boxeo profesional. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Caleb Salón (6-3) vai asumir Erik 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 de abril against 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. En decembro, 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) en “NEF 21.” Nelson believes his jiu-jitsu will be the deciding factor when he meets Caleb Hall for the amateur featherweight title on 23 de 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.”
