NATE WHITE STEPS IN AT LAST MINUTE TO SAVE LIGHTWEIGHT FIGHT AT NEF 40

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Orono, Maine (Settembre 3, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) will debut in Orono this Saturday, Settembre 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight fight to the card. Nate “The Mule” White (2-0) returns to the cage to face Ryan Savage (0-1) con un peso lotta di 155 libbre.

Undefeated Nate White stepped up on just a few days’ notice after Savage’s original opponent, Andrew Kamakas, could not gain medical clearance to fight. The 19-year-old Rumford, Maine native is on a roll this year and making a play for the “Rookie of the Year” nod from NEF fans. So far, White has needed just over a combined four minutes to down his first two opponents. In April, he forced a first-round stoppage against Clifford Redman at “NEF 38” when Redman suffered an injury less than a minute into the fight. White followed that victory up with a technical knockout of Justin Kangas at “NEF 39” in June. White, a member of the Maine Army National Guard, will be traveling straight from being tazed and peppered sprayed only hours before his scheduled competition with Savage on Saturday night, as part of his Guard OC and tazer qualification training.

“This is a busy week in my life," disse Bianco. “I’m in Texas right now for a job interview and will be flying back on Wednesday to head off to drill weekend with the Guard before my fight on Saturday night, but life is all about seizing opportunities when they become available. I’m excited for the chance to test myself against Ryan. I’ve heard that he is a good guy and I know he trains hard, so I’m excited to see how my skills match-up against him.”

Ryan Savage, a fellow active serviceman with the Air Guard, will be looking for the first win of his amateur MMA career this Saturday night in Orono. At “NEF 38” last April, Savage lost via submission to Connecticut’s Arii Fernandez in the first round of Savage’s debut. He currently represents First Class MMA of Brunswick, Maine.

“I’m very fortunate to be given another chance to showcase my true potential,” said Savage. “My first MMA fight opened my eyes to the importance of being an all around fighter, and was a very humbling experience. Nate has been on a roll these last two cards, and I know is training hard to continue his undefeated streak. Nate has great skill, but I’m ready to put that to the test and show everyone I’m here to stay.”

“Fight lore is full of legendary tales of guys stepping-up on last-minute notice to save bouts—and this is another example of that,” said Matt Peterson, NEF Matchmaker and co-owner. “Two active servicemen from respected gyms in the state—one a boxer and the other a wrestler—agreeing to an MMA fight on short notice is just one more added attraction to the stacked card that we have set to wow UMaine with this weekend. I’ve never been more excited to go back to school.”

New England Combattimenti’ prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” will take place this Saturday, Settembre 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Maine. Doors will open at 6 pm and first fight will take to the cage at 7 pm. I biglietti sono in vendita ora awww.collinscenterforthearts.com.

Lascia un commento

Agosto 30 in Orenburg, Russia

SAN PIETROBURGO, Russia (Agosto 7, 2019) – Undefeated M-1 Challenge lightweight championRoman Bogatov difende il suo titolo controMickael “Ragnar” Lebout, headlinerM-1 sfida 104: Battaglia nel cuore del continente, on day, Agosto 30, at Sports Arena Orenburgzhye in Orenburg, Russia.

WKG & M-1 sfida 104 sarà trasmesso in diretta dalla Russia in alta definizione su www.M1Global.TV. Gli spettatori potranno guardare i combattimenti preliminari e carta principale accedendo a registrare a www.M1Global.TV. I fan possono guardare tutta l'azione sul proprio computer, nonché su smartphone e tablet Android e Apple. M-1 sfida 104 will also beavailable on www.FITE.TV.

Bogatov (8-0, M-1: 7-0), combattimento da Russia, is a grappling master who literally put to sleep three of his last four victims. Bogatov, who has a superior ground attack, captured the coveted M-1 Challenge title last September atM-1 sfida 97, when he won a five-round decision overRubenilton Pereira.  In his first title defense this past January, Bogatov used an arm triangle choke to submit another Brazilian challenger, Michael Silva.

Lebout (19-9-2, M-1: 3-1) is a dangerous challenger from France, who has won three of four M-1 Global fights to date. An all-around fighter, Lebout can adjust to his opponent, whether he needs to use his striking, grappling and tactical skills to win.

Former M-1 Challenge title challengerAndrey “Iron” Lezhnev (18-8, M-1: 6-4) brings his invaluable experience into The Rage to face popularBusurmankul Abdibait Uulu (11-2-1, 3-0-1) nell'evento co-presentato.

Lezhnev, dell'Ucraina, has won eight of his last 10 combattimenti, knocked down M-1 Challenge featherweight championNate Landwehr, albeit in a losing effort, in his most recent action. Abdibait Uulu, the pride of Kyrgyzstan, has defeated three tough opponents in a row to set the stage for his biggest test in Lezhnev.

Brazilian flyweightFlavio “Madruga” de Silva Santos (9-3, M-1: 0-0) makes his M-1 Global debut againstArman Ashimov (10-3-1), of Kazakhstan. Santos is the latest in a wave of Brazilian fighters who’ve found a home in M-1 Global.

Brazilian National Champion and BJJ black belt, Jean “Panqueka” Petrick (10-3-1, M-1: 2-0) butta giù conBoris “Bora” Polejay (18-6-1, M-1: 2-1-0), of Ukraine. The winner of this bout will likely position himself for a title shot.

Opening the main card is a bantamweight showdown betweenVazha Tsiptauri, Georgian National MMA and kickboxing champion, and Russian prospect Selem Evloev.

Pesi gallo americani“Gorgeous” George Garcia (9-3, M-1: 1-0) took his M-1 Global debut fight on short notice, yet he used his grappling acumen to defeatYuriy Chobuka, by way of a rear naked choke, only 20-seconds into the opening round of their fight last March atM-1 sfida 101.  The California grappler, who is riding a six-fight win streak, returns on the undercard against notorious finishercasa Bair, di Russia.

Also fighting on the undercard is French featherweightAnthony “La Masse” Dizy (12-3, M-1: 1-0) vs. RussoZalimbek Omarov (10-3-1, M-1: 7-2-1), Welter russoMikhail “Bulldozer” Doroshenko (3-0, M-1: 0-0) vs. AzerbaijanBayram Mamedov (0-1 (M-1: 0-0), and a battle between Russian strawweghtsZarina Gumerova (1-1-1, M-1: 0-0) vs.Asiya Klyutova (1-1, M-1: 1-0) in a rare female M-1 Global fight.

ZAC RICHARD RETURNS TO NEF CAGE IN LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION AGAINST BRANDON SEWALL

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Orono, Maine (Luglio 19, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Proprio oggi, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the card. Zac Richard (3-2-1) si incontreranno Brandon Sewall (0-1) con un peso di lotta 155 libbre.

Zac Richard has competed twice previously in the lightweight division, winning both fights in 2018. That same year, Richard was voted “Rookie of the Year” by NEF fans. He has yet to taste victory in 2019 with all three of his fights this year thus far taking place in the 145-pound featherweight division. Richard went to a five-round draw with Fred Lear for the amateur featherweight championship last February in what has been a leading contender for “Fight of the Year” in 2019. On September 7, Richard will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses in his two most recent fights this spring. At “NEF 38,” Richard dropped a five-round unanimous decision to Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) prior to losing via first-round submission to Miguel Cuevas (6-1) nel mese di giugno.

“I’m very excited to get back in there after coming off two losses a month apart,” said Richard.  “I’m extremely unhappy with my fight against Tom—I definitely can’t have another off-day on fight day again. I’ve made a lot of changes to make myself happier with my life. The grind is different now.”

“Having watched Zac compete since he was a child during his youth wrestling days, I’ve seen how he navigates challenges,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “He doesn’t look for the easy way out—he’s a born competitor and he always seeks out the toughest opponents. Whether it was in wrestling or now in MMA, he comes to fight. I have no doubt that he will be on the warpath on September 7th, looking to get back to his winning ways.”

Zac Richard has drawn a big one for his return to the lightweight division. Brandon Sewall stands 6’1,” towering over most others in the weight class. The resident of Bath, Maine will look for his first win in the NEF cage after losing his debut to Jimmy Jackson (4-3) il mese scorso al “NEF 39.”

“It is going to be simple – locate him, get at him, and strike him as hard as I can,” said Sewall when reached for comment.

“Brandon embodies the martial spirit,” stated Peterson. “When I suggested Zac to him as an opponent, he didn’t hesitate at all. He’s eager to prove the validity of his training and disciplined diet in the NEF cage in front of a big audience. Brandon will be the much bigger man in the bout. Whatever the outcome, I know that both guys will be looking to set a furious pace and finish the fight quickly.”

New England Combattimenti’ prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 40: SCHOOL OF HARD KNOCKS,” will take place Saturday, Settembre 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts at the University of Maine as the promotion debuts in Orono, Maine.

CORAPI OUT, LOCKARD IN AGAINST ERICKSON; FIGHT NOW FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE AT NEF 39

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Lewiston, Maine (Giugno 4, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) sabato torna all'Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Giugno 22 con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI.” Proprio oggi, the fight promotion announced that Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) si incontreranno Dylan Lockard (5-1) for the vacant NEF Professional Lightweight Championship. Former champion Ryan Sanders (18-9) decided to vacate the title late last year due to the extreme weight cuts he had to endure to make the lightweight limit of 155 libbre.

L'incontro, originally scheduled to be a non-title affair between Erickson and Lewis Corapi (8-5), came about after Corapi had to pull out due to illness.

“Jesse Erickson has been a perennial contender since the inception of the NEF Lightweight Title,” dichiarato NEF co-proprietario e matchmaker Matt Peterson. “In 22 bouts between his amateur and professional career, you have to go all the way back to his very first fight in 2012 to find the one time that Erickson has ever had a fight go to the judge’s scorecards. He always competes with a ferocity that leads him to securing the finish, or being finished. He’s pure fire every time he climbs in the cage. Dylan Lockard, by the same token, has only lost once between his amateur and professional outings and is one of the hottest prospects in New England right now. Come un dilettante, Lockard beat both Josh Harvey and Caleb Hall—two NEF staples that are undefeated and have looked unstoppable since turning professional. You couldn’t ask for a more perfectly matched fight between two experienced, hungry athletes to fill the highly coveted lightweight title.”

Erickson has attempted to capture the lightweight belt three times previously, twice against Bruce Boyington (17-11) and once against current UFC competitor Devin Powell (9-4), only to come up short in each fight. Erickson says he will be patient in this bout in hopes of winning the title that has eluded him to date.

“First, I want to thank Dylan for stepping up to take the bout,” remarked Erickson. “He seems well-rounded and has wins over some quality opponents. I’m working hard every day and will enter the cage in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’m not going to be in a rush in the cage on June 22nd. I have five rounds to put him away and finally walk out with that belt. Victory or Valhalla, fourth time’s the charm.”

Lockard will definitely be entering hostile territory with hundreds of Erickson’s hometown friends, family and fans in the crowd. The fight will take place ten pounds heavier than the featherweight limit Lockard usually competes at.

Everything about Lockard’s background, tuttavia, indicates that he rises to meet any challenge. In 2010 he won a state championship at 152 pounds wrestling for Timberlane Regional High School in Plaistow, New Hampshire, finishing his senior season with an impressive 38-9 record. He began his amateur MMA career in 2014 and went a perfect 4-0, defeating some of the best the region has to offer including Harvey and Hall. Lockard turned pro in the summer of 2016. His only loss to date has been against a very tough Shane Manley (5-5), who longtime NEF fans will remember as the athlete who handed both Jesse Erickson and Ray Wood (8-5) the first losses of their respective MMA careers. Lockard is currently on a two-fight win streak since the loss to Manley, most-recently upending previously-undefeated Anthony Wright (4-1) on a fight card in Rhode Island last fall.

“I’m excited to come up to Maine and fight for the NEF title,” said Lockard when reached for comment.  “Jesse is a really tough opponent, and I think we match up well. It’s going to be an exciting fight for the fans.”

“NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI,” si svolgerà il Sabato, Giugno 22, 2019 al Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine con un tempo di campana di 7 pm. I biglietti sono in vendita ora su www.TheColisee.com.

LA SECONDA DONNA È STATA AGGIUNTA AL NEF 39 FIGHT CARD

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Lewiston, Maine (Maggio 29, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) sabato torna all'Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Giugno 22 con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI.” Proprio oggi, la promozione del combattimento ha annunciato l'aggiunta di un bantamweight di donne amatoriali alla carta. Megan Rosado è prevista per affrontare Sarai Knapp con un peso lotta di 135-libbre.

Megan Rosado è attualmente pari 1-1 da quando ha debuttato nella gabbia NEF alla fine dell'anno scorso. Ha assunto Glory Watson a “NEF 36” a settembre e ha fatto la distanza in avanti e indietro, gara elettrizzante. Watson è stato in grado di tirare fuori una decisione divisa sui giudici’ scorecard per prendere la vittoria. Rosado è tornato il mese scorso alle “NEF 38” a Portland, Maine per affrontare Amanda Bennett (0-2).  Di nuovo, la lotta è andata ai giudici’ scorecard, ma questa volta è stato Rosado a uscire dalla gabbia con la vittoria. Rappresenta Evolution Athletix di Nate Libby con sede a Saco, Maine.

"Sono davvero entusiasta di tornare nella gabbia per il mio terzo combattimento amatoriale,” detto Rosado. “È sicuro di dire che sono dipendente da tutta l'esperienza di combattimento! Potrei non avere un disco perfettamente pulito e imbattuto, ma avere un assaggio di una perdita e una vittoria è ciò che ti rende più pericoloso, secondo me. Non so nulla del mio avversario, ma questo non inizia nemmeno a spaventarmi. Lo porterò, e vincerò a giugno 22. Non perderlo!"

Sarai Knapp farà il suo debutto amatoriale in MMA a “NEF 39” il 22 giugno. Farà il viaggio di 1.000 miglia dal suo stato d'origine dell'Indiana per competere contro Rosado. Knapp rappresenta Lee Brothers MMA con sede a Fort Wayne.

“L'allenamento di arti marziali miste ha cambiato la mia vita,” osservò Knapp. “Sono solo entusiasta di sfidare me stesso contro un avversario duro come Megan. Il mio allenatore mi dice che tutti quelli della palestra di Nate Libby sono forti, quindi ci stiamo preparando per una lotta.”

L'incontro tra Rosado e Knapp è la seconda lotta femminile annunciata per il “NEF 39” carta. Anche sulla carta amatoriale quella notte, Glory Watson (4-0) incontreremo Caree Hill (4-1) per il campionato dei pesi liberi delle donne libere.

“NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI,” si svolgerà il Sabato, Giugno 22, 2019 al Androscoggin Bank Colisee a Lewiston, Maine con un tempo di campana di 7 pm. I biglietti sono in vendita ora awww.TheColisee.com.

BOUCHER HOPES SECOND TIME WILL BE A CHARM FOR CAPTURING FLYWEIGHT TITLE

Lascia un commento

PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Lewiston, Maine (Maggio 25, 2019) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) sabato torna all'Androscoggin Bank Colisee, Giugno 22 con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 39: TUTTI AMERICANI.” One of the featured fights on the amateur portion of the pro/am card will see Nate Boucher (4-3) tangle with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant NEF Amateur Flyweight Title.

This will be Boucher’s second attempt at capturing the flyweight belt. Then-undefeated, Boucher met Justin Witham (4-4) nel mese di novembre 2017 for the championship in Portland, Maine. Witham went on to win the bout, e il titolo, via split decision on the judges’ scorecard. Many in attendance, tuttavia, felt that Boucher had dominated the bout.

The loss to Witham was the start of a three-fight skid for the former wrestler from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Boucher has rebounded and put himself back in contention for the flyweight strap with back-to-back first-round submission victories at “NEF 36” e “NEF 37,” rispettivamente.

Boucher represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lewiston, Maine.

“Since coming up short on the judges’ scorecards in my first title fight—a fight that many fans feel I won—I have been focused on one single goal: getting another shot at the belt,” said Boucher. “Finalmente, that opportunity is here and I don’t plan on allowing anything to stand in my way of achieving my main goal which is winning the flyweight title! I’m doing everything that I need to do in order to make sure that the judges don’t play a role in the outcome on June 22nd. Special thanks to all of my sponsors and supporters for helping me on my way back to the belt fight—I vow to make you all proud at ‘All-American’ in Lewiston.”

Robert Presley, known as “Il Guerriero,” comes to Maine all the way from Lancaster, Ohio to challenge for the flyweight title. He was victorious in his most recent bout last January via unanimous decision. With this being his tenth amateur bout, Presley plans on turning pro soon after. He represents both 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu and the Lancaster Academy of MMA.

“On June 22nd, I will be flying in from the little town of Newark, Ohio to go to war with Nate Boucher for the NEF flyweight title,” said Presley. “I don’t know much about Nate, but I will be honored to share the cage with him. Dopo questa lotta, I am turning pro. I’ve learned a lot from my amateur career and am ready to showcase my talent. Many thanks to NEF for giving me a chance to please their home crowd. I hope everyone is ready for a battle!"
