Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “dzanja yoweyula.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington walimbana kuti chabe posonyeza ake mafani mu Khamu kugwira sanali kuchita mavuto.

 

“Ine ndikhoza kukuuzani inu momwe usiku umenewo unatha,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Kwenikweni, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, ndipo pamene ine ndinachita lamanzere bicep ndi kumanzere kwanga dzanja anali kupita kumbuyo mutu wake, ndi ref anasiya nkhondo… Ndinadabwa kuona kuti liyimbidwa chifukwa, moona mtima, Ndinadziwa kuti anali zambiri chiyeso nsagwada… Ngati Ndipotu iye anali kugwedezeka, kuti imayamwa iye.”

 

“Pa zinthu, Ine makamaka kumbukirani Bickford akuyang'ana pa ine, Ine ndiri nawo, iye anga khosi ndi ine m'mwamba,” Anati Boyington. “Aliyense kuyamba wobangula weniweni mokweza ndipo ndikukumbukira kuti Bickford, 'No Bruce, inu simungakhoze kunena kuti '… Ngati inu mukuganiza kuti ine kugonjera kapena ndine mavuto sangathe kupuma, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inu simungakhoze kunena kuti,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ine ndikuwona zochuluka zosiyanasiyana zimene John wanena Intaneti, ndi zinthu zambiri anthu ena mwanena, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

“Ine ndikuganiza ngati ref sanaime pa nthawi, pamene ndinali pa masaya anga mkono ndipo ine ndinali kufika kumbuyo khosi lake,” Ray ankati, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Choncho, Ine sindikuganiza kuti akanati atapita ku kubwera kwachiwiri.”

 

M'masiku, masabata ndi miyezi kutsatira nkhondo, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” onse othamanga anakhudza zimene rematch zikutanthauza kuti iwo, ndi chimene iwo ayenera kutsimikizira izi sabata ikubwera.

 

“Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo nampanda John,” Anati Boyington. “Ngakhale wake mafani akuyembekezera kuti… Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo pa June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ndikudziwa zimenezo, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, thangwi mkono si ngakhale ntchito pakali pano… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.”

 

“Pa nkhani Bruce kumaliza ine msanga, ndi kupanga mosavuta, ndipo si kudandaula za kulimbana kwambiri, Ine kupeza izo ulemu ngati zinthu zambiri iye anandiuza, banja langa ndi anzanga,” replied Raio. “Nthawi zina pambuyo otsiriza nkhondo pamene anthu achilimbikitso ine (pa Facebook) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Choncho, pambuyo Ine ndinati 'Bruce ndi ine si mabwenzi panonso,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… koma pamene anthu amanyoza ine ngati ali zimakhala zovuta ngati munthuyo.”

FEATHERWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Kusiya ndemanga

 

Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 21, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Analengedwa AMERICA,” pa Loweruka, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Poyambirira lero, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the fight card. The matchup will feature Jeremy Tyler (4-3) akukumana Johnny Timatheriyali (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 June 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 June 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 Rookie pa Chaka” 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.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional opepuka Ngwazi Bruce “Wokongola Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Choyamba Maphunziro” 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, Komabe, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ngakhale, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 mu Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, ndipo 2014 “Wankhondo pa Chaka,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “The Junkyard Galu” Ryan Cowette (2-2) mu middleweight bout.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

“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) ndipoRyan Glover (1-0). Glover won a 2011 state championship wrestling for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine.

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Kusiya ndemanga

Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 8, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Anapanga America,” pa Loweruka, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Poyambirira lero, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) ndi uchitike kukumana Zenon Herrea (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) Othandizana Nawo – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Mwezi watha, 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. “Chomaliza nkhondo, 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 Herrea, 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,” Anati 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.”
