NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_mutunga +(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Pipiri 10, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” tenei Rāhoroi po, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. Aita i maoro a'e, headliners Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8), te NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion, a John “Class Tuatahi” Ray(2-7) tahi-rangatira NEF me te matchmaker piri Matt Peterson i runga i te motuhake “Head-ki-Head” putanga o te NEF Podcast. I korerohia e Boyington me Raio nga korero mo te reanga kei te haere mai, me nga tautohetohe mo te hui tuatahi i te Hui-tanguru 2014, i roto i te tahi atu kaupapa.

 

Ko te uiui i tere haere ki te tihi o te pakanga tuatahi. I puta a Raio ki te hora i te koroka tua-tahanga ki a Boyington i runga i te moenga i te mutunga o te rauna tuatahi. Ka tiimata te toro a Boyington i tana ringa ki te rangi ka tere haere te kaitautoko a Jimmy Bickford ki te aukati i te pakanga. He maha nga mea kua puta mo te tangata rongonui “ngaru ringa.” Ahakoa i kite a Bickford hei tohu mo te tukunga a Boyington, Ka totohe Boyington kua i kïia e noa ia ki ona pā i roto i te mano, e kore i te mau te mahi i tetahi kino.

 

“Ka taea e ahau te korero ki a koutou me pehea te takanga o taua po,” I maumahara a Raio mo te tukinga tuatahi. “Fele, Na Bruce i whakahoki mai tana tuara ki ahau. I taku tangohanga i tana tuara, I a au nga matau a he koka nga tua-tahanga o taku raina kauae. I te tarai ahau ki te pehi i raro i tana korokoro, a kia rite ki mau ahau toku bicep maui, me toku ringa i mahue haere i muri i tona matenga, te tohutoro mutu te whawhai… I miharo ahau i kairïwhi ia no te, tika, I mohio ahau e ahau he rota o te pēhanga ki runga ki tona kauae… Ki te i roto i te meka i poipoia e ia, e ngotea hoki ia.”

 

“I roto i taua āhuatanga, Āta mahara ahau titiro Bickford i ahau, Au fehangahangai ahau ake, te haere ia mo toku kaki, me te au poipoia ahau,” Said Boyington. “Katoa tīmata e hamama ana tūturu nui, me te mahara ahau Bickford mea, 'Kāore he Bruce, e kore koutou e taea e te mea e '… Ki te whakaaro koe e ahau te tuku ranei e ahau au e ahau i roto i te raru ranei, e kore e taea manawa, kaore koe e korero ki te toa, “E kore e taea e koe te mea e,” ka peke noa koe ka mutu te pakanga. Kei te whakaaro ahau kua he tana. Kei te mohio ahau kei te mohio ia ki tena… Kite ahau i te rota o te mea rerekē i mea e kua Hoani online, a ka kua mea atu te iwi i te rota o te mea, a koinei te wa i tino tiimata ahau ki te awangawanga mo nga mea i tupu. I penei au ka taea e ia te whakahaere pai ake.”

 

I mua ki Boyington hoatu ake tona hoki, he maha i mahara kua wikitoria ia i te rauna tuatahi. Ko e mo'oni, Ko te aitua o Boyington te mea nui i taua ahiahi. I patai a Peterson ki nga kaiwhakataetae e rua kia whakaarohia he aha ka tupu mena kaore te kaitautoko i aukati i te pakanga i tera wa.

 

“Heipü, Whakaaro ahau e Hoani kua patototanga i,” kī Boyington tino. “E kore e whakaaro ahau au pepa ahau tuku ia ia, na te mea ko te mea pai tena ki a au. He kaha ia ki te tiaki i tetahi tono.”

 

“Whakaaro ahau, ki te kahore i mutu i te tohutoro i te wa, i ahau i runga i tona kauae ki toku kikowhiti, a pa e ahau i muri i tona kaki,” Ie Ray, “Ki taku whakapono kua paheke atu toku ringa i raro i tana korokoro ana kua mutu i etahi wa i mua o te rauna. Na, E kore e whakaaro ahau e ua te reira riro ki te rua a tawhio noa.”

 

I roto i nga ra, wiki, me marama e whai ake nei i te whawhai, e rua nga kaiwhaiwhai a Boyington me Raio i tino kaha ki te whakaputa korero i runga i te ao papaho e pa ana ki te mutunga o te whakataetae. Kua roa te taupatupatu i waenga i nga taha e rua neke atu i te kotahi tau neke atu. Me te nui o nga moni kei ia taha mo te “NEF XVIII,” pa e rua kaitäkaro i runga i te tikanga o te rematch ki a ratou, a te mea e ti'a ratou ki te whakamatau i tenei wiki e haere mai.

 

“Ahau e kore e tika e taea te haere ki roto i te reira, ka whiua a Hoani,” Said Boyington. “Ahakoa tana ake pā kei te hua noa e… E kore e taea e ahau te haere ki noa i roto i reira i runga i Pipiri 13ka whiua a John Raio. Me haere ahau ki reira ki te whakangaro i a ia. Ranei ka ngaro tonu ahau i tenei pakanga. E mohio ana ahau e, ana ka haere ahau ki reira korero ai. Ana ka mahia e au ma te ringa kotahi, e kore e te no te mea noa te mahi atu i te ringa matau i teie nei… Kaore au i te awangawanga mo tenei ra mai i te ra tuatahi. Kaore he aha ki a John Raio. Kaore au e whakahawea ki te taane. Kaore au e pai ki te taane. He tangata pai ia. Kei noa ahau i tetahi atu taumata. Me whakaatu atu au ki te whakamatau i tena. Koira tena ki ahau. Ehara i te mea mo taku patu i a John. Ko tenei mo au ki te whakaatu ki nga taangata katoa kei hea ahau.”

 

“I roto i te whakaaro ki a Bruce whakaoti ahau hohoro, a hanga ngāwari te reira, e kore a tino manukanuka te whawhai rawa nui, Tika kitea e ahau faatura i te reira, ano he rota o nga mea ngā mea ia ki a ahau, toku hapu, me oku hoa,” ka whakahoki a Raio. “He nga wa i muri i te whawhai whakamutunga, i congratulating ahau te iwi (i runga i Facebook) a ka haere tonu ia kia rite ki te korero mo te kotahi, e rua ranei nga pararangi i runga i nga korero katoa i whakatakotoria e te katoa ki taku whaarangi mo te toru ra te roa. Na, i muri i mea ahau, Bruce, a kahore e tino ahau a muri hoa,’ na ka mukua ia e ahau. He pai ki ahau i mua o tera pakanga… engari ka faatura ahau te iwi, ano he ia te reira uaua ki te rite i te taata.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Waiho he tākupu

 

Lewiston, Maine (Kia 21, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) e anga Johnny Crafts (3-0) at the featherweight limit of 145-pounds.

 

Jeremy Tyler will be making his return to the NEF cage after an extended absence of nine months. A member of Marcus Davis’s famed Team Irish gym in Brewer, Maine, Tyler will look to rebound from the first back-to-back losses of his career. Both of those losses came to Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) competitors. It is a gym affiliated with Johnny Crafts’ team New England United (NEW), so the Pipiri 13 fight will be an opportunity for Jeremy to gain a measure of revenge as well. Like his opponent at “NEF XVIII,” Tyler has proven himself a submission specialist with all four of his victories coming by way of capitulation.

 

“I’m very excited to be stepping into the NEF cage for the first time in 2015,” said Tyler. “I am looking forward to the opportunity to fight John Crafts who is a highly ranked MMA fighter with a very good Jiu Jitsu game. I believe the NEF fans will be very happy with the match-up and feel this will make for an entertaining fight. Expect to see an improved performance from me. I took some time off after my last fight to focus, build upon my technique and add to my overall skill sets. I am ready to unleash the game I’ve been developing in the cage so Pipiri 13 can’t get here fast enough.”

 

Originally scheduled to challenge for the NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship at “NEF XVIII,” Johnny Crafts was left without a fight after his original opponent pulled out due to injury. That was until Jeremy Tyler stepped up to the challenge this week. This fight will mark the first time Johnny Crafts, who holds a brown belt in BJJ, has competed above the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds. Crafts was voted the “2014 Ihupuku o te Tau” by NEF fans.

 

“I’m very excited to be fighting Jeremy Tyler,” said Crafts. “He’s a well-rounded fighter with good experience. I’m looking to test the waters at 145 for my first time and see how I feel fighting up. I was pretty disappointed in the title fight falling through, but I assure everyone that this fight will be just as exciting to watch.”

Lewiston, Maine (Kia 19, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Hanga i AMERICA,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, kauwhautia te whakatairanga i te tonu kāri whawhai mo te hui.

 

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Ngaio Kōmāmā Champion Bruce “Boy ātaahua” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Class Tuatahi” 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, Heoi, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ahakoa, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Pipiri 13 i roto i te Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, a 2014 “Fighter o te Tau,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Ko te kitenga i Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) i roto i te a'ee taumahawaenga. 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: Hehe “Ko te 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; a Iraia “Danger Kiore” Leland (2-1) hopes to rebound from a loss last month when he fights Chad “Machine Pū” 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) aRyan 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) tapawhā atu ki 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) e anga Kendra Streeter (0-0). Walker thrilled the Lewiston crowd of more than 2,000 i “Nef XVII” last month with her “Whawhai o te Po” performance against Randi Knowles (1-0).

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Waiho he tākupu

Lewiston, Maine (Kia 8, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma waru whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Pipiri 13, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. I mua i teie mahana, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Hehe “Ko te Viking” Erickson (4-4) Kei te whakaritea ki te whakatau 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) hononga – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Last marama, 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. “I roto i toku whawhai whakamutunga, 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.”
