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

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Orono, Maine (September 3, 2019) - New England Berst (NEF) will debut in Orono this Saturday, September 7, 2019 í Collins Center for the Arts með næsta viðburði fyrir blönduð bardagalistir, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Fyrr í dag, 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) á slagsmálum þyngd 155 pund.

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,” said White. “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 Berst’ næsti viðburður í blönduðum bardagalistum, “NEF 40: HARÐHARÐARSKÓLI,” will take place this Saturday, September 7, 2019 í Collins Center for the Arts við háskólann í Maine þegar kynningin er frumsýnd í Orono, Maine. Doors will open at 6 pm and first fight will take to the cage at 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now atwww.collinscenterforthearts.com.

Bogatov (8-0, M-1: 7-0), berjast út úr Rússlandi, 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 Challenge 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, Michel 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) in the co-featured event.

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.

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

American bantamweight“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 Challenge 101.  The California grappler, who is riding a six-fight win streak, returns on the undercard against notorious finisherBair heim, Rússland.

Also fighting on the undercard is French featherweightAnthony “La Masse” Dizy (12-3, M-1: 1-0) vs. rússneska, Rússi, rússneskurZalimbek Omarov (10-3-1, M-1: 7-2-1), Russian veltivigtarMikhail “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 snýr aftur í NEF CAGE Í LÉTTUM DEILI GEGN BRANDON SEWALL

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Orono, Maine (Júlí 19, 2019) - New England Berst (NEF) verður frumsýnd í Orono í september 7, 2019 í Collins Center for the Arts með næsta viðburði fyrir blönduð bardagalistir, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Fyrr í dag, NEF tilkynnti að léttvigtarleikur áhugamanna væri bætt við kortið. Zac Richard (3-2-1) mun mæta Brandon Sewall (0-1) á bardagaþyngd af 155 £.

Zac Richard hefur tvisvar áður keppt í léttvigt, vann báða bardaga árið 2018. Sama ár, Richard var kosinn “Nýliði ársins” eftir NEF aðdáendur. Hann hefur enn ekki smakkað sigur 2019 þar sem allir þrír bardagarnir hans á þessu ári hafa hingað til farið fram í 145 punda fjaðurvigtinni. Richard fór í fimm lotu jafntefli við Fred Lear um fjaðurvigtarmeistaratitil áhugamanna í febrúar síðastliðnum í því sem hefur verið fremstur í flokki “Fight ársins” árið 2019. Þann september sl 7, Richard mun leitast við að endurheimta töpin í tveimur síðustu bardögum sínum í vor. Kl “NEF 38,” Richard féll frá fimm lotum samhljóða ákvörðun til Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) áður en hann tapaði með uppgjöf í fyrstu umferð fyrir Miguel Cuevas (6-1) í júní.

„Ég er mjög spenntur að komast þangað aftur eftir að hafa tapað tveimur töpum með mánaðar millibili,” sagði Richard.  “Ég er mjög óánægður með bardagann minn gegn Tom - ég get örugglega ekki fengið annan frídag á bardaga aftur. Ég hef gert margar breytingar til að gera mig ánægðari með líf mitt. Mótið er öðruvísi núna."

„Eftir að hafa horft á Zac keppa síðan hann var barn á glímudögum sínum í æsku, Ég hef séð hvernig hann sér um áskoranir,” sagði NEF meðeiganda og matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “Hann leitar ekki auðveldu leiðarinnar - hann er fæddur keppnismaður og hann leitar alltaf uppi erfiðustu andstæðingana. Hvort sem það var í glímu eða núna í MMA, hann kemur til að berjast. Ég efast ekki um að hann verði á stríðsbrautinni 7. september, leitast við að komast aftur á sigurbraut sína."

Zac Richard hefur dregið stórt fyrir endurkomu sína í léttvigtina. Brandon Sewall stendur 6'1,” gnæfir yfir flesta aðra í þyngdarflokknum. Íbúi Bath, Maine mun leita að sínum fyrsta sigri í NEF búrinu eftir að hafa tapað frumraun sinni fyrir Jimmy Jackson (4-3) í síðasta mánuði á “NEF 39.”

„Þetta verður einfalt – finna hann, ná í hann, og slá hann eins fast og ég get,“ sagði Sewall þegar náðist í athugasemdir.

„Brandon táknar bardagaandann,” sagði Peterson. “Þegar ég stakk honum upp á Zac sem andstæðing, hann hikaði alls ekki. Hann er fús til að sanna réttmæti þjálfunar sinnar og agaðra mataræðis í NEF búrinu fyrir framan stóra áhorfendur. Brandon verður mun stærri maðurinn í bardaganum. Hver svo sem niðurstaðan verður, Ég veit að báðir strákarnir munu leitast við að setja trylltan hraða og klára bardagann fljótt."

New England Berst’ næsti viðburður í blönduðum bardagalistum, “NEF 40: HARÐHARÐARSKÓLI,” fer fram laugardaginn, September 7, 2019 í Collins Center for the Arts við háskólann í Maine þegar kynningin er frumsýnd í Orono, Maine. Miðar eru á sölu núna á www.collinscenterforthearts.com.

Skildu eftir athugasemd
LOS ANGELES — Bellator is proud to announce that Russian MMA great Fedor Emelianenko (38-6, 1 NC) has signed an exclusive multi-fight contract extension to finish his career inside the Bellator cage.



Emelianenko’s farewell tour continues in Bellator’s stacked heavyweight division on the heels of a finals run during the promotion’s eight-man Heavyweight World Grand Prix.Fighting out of Stary Oskol, Belgorod svæði, Rússland, “The Last Emperor” recently earned first-round knockouts over Chael Sonnen og Frank Mir in the tourney’s semifinals and opening round, sig.



“I am pleased that we were able to sign Fedor, the greatest heavyweight of all time, to a new contract extension,” Bellator President Scott Coker said. “He is someone that I consider a friend in this business and am even more pleased that he has decided to finish his storied career with Bellator. There are exciting matchups for him here in Bellator that I know will appeal to his fans from the past, as well as new fans from his recent run in the tournament. As his time in the sport winds down, I am happy to see him close out his career on his own terms.”



“My strong friendship and respect for Scott Coker made reaching a contract extension a simple process,” said Fedor Emelianenko. “Bellator is my home – I look forward to helping Bellator continue to grow and reach its full potential as the world’s top MMA promotion.”





A former PRIDE Heavyweight Champion and PRIDE 2004 Þungavigtarheimur Grand Prix meistari, Emelianenko is often referred to as “The GOAT” by fans around the world. With a career resume that stands as one of the most impressive in the history of the sport that includes victories over Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira, Mirko Cro Cop, Mark Hunt, Mark Coleman and Andrei Arlovski, til að nefna nokkrar. Með 29 career victories ending via finish, the punching power and world-class Sambo of the stoic Russian can always result in yet another accolade in his illustrious career.



Emelianenko’s return to the Bellator cage is yet to be determined, but he is expected to return to action later this year.

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

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (Júní 4, 2019) - New England Berst (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Júní 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Fyrr í dag, the fight promotion announced that Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-7) mun mæta 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 £.

Bardaginn, 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,” fram NEF meðeigandi og matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Í 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. Sem áhugamaður, 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, þó, 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: ALL-AMERICAN,” fer fram á laugardaginn, Júní 22, 2019 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine with a bell time of 7 kl. Miðar eru á sölu núna á www.TheColisee.com.

SECOND WOMEN’S BOUT ADDED TO NEF 39 Fight CARD

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (Maí 29, 2019) - New England Berst (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Júní 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Fyrr í dag, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bantamweight bout to the card. Megan Rosado er áætlað að takast Sarai Knapp á slagsmálum þyngd 135 pund.

Megan Rosado is currently an even 1-1 since debuting in the NEF cage late last year. She took on Glory Watson at “NEF 36” in September and went the distance in a back-and-forth, thrilling contest. Watson was able to pull out a split decision on the judges’ scorecards to take the victory. Rosado returned last month at “NEF 38” í Portland, Maine to face Amanda Bennett (0-2).  Aftur, the fight went to the judges’ skorkort, but this time it was Rosado walking out of the cage with the win. She represents Nate Libby’s Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’m super excited to step back into the cage for my third amateur fight,” said Rosado. “It’s safe to say that I’m addicted to the whole fight experience! I may not have a squeaky clean undefeated record, but getting a taste of a loss and a win is what makes you more dangerous, að mínu mati. Ég veit ekkert um andstæðing minn, but that doesn’t even begin to scare me. Im’ma bring it, and I’m going to win on June 22. Ekki missa af því!"

Sarai Knapp will be making her amateur MMA debut at “NEF 39” on June 22nd. She will make the 1,000-mile trip from her home state of Indiana to compete against Rosado. Knapp represents Lee Brothers MMA based in Fort Wayne.

“Training mixed martial arts has changed my life,” remarked Knapp. “I’m just excited to challenge myself against a tough opponent like Megan. My coach tells me that everybody from Nate Libby’s gym is tough, so we’re getting ready for a fight.”

The bout between Rosado and Knapp is the second women’s fight announced for the “NEF 39” card. Also on the amateur card that night, Dýrð Watson (4-0) will meet Caree Hill (4-1) for the vacant women’s flyweight championship.

“NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN,” fer fram á laugardaginn, Júní 22, 2019 á Androscoggin Bank Colisee í Lewiston, Maine with a bell time of 7 pm. Tickets are on sale now atwww.TheColisee.com.

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

Skildu eftir athugasemd

Skjóta losun: Lewiston, Maine (Maí 25, 2019) - New England Berst (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Júní 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” 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) í nóvember 2017 for the championship in Portland, Maine. Witham went on to win the bout, and the title, via split decision on the judges’ skorkort. Many in attendance, þó, 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” og “NEF 37,” sig.

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. “Loks, 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 “The Warrior,” 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. Eftir þessari baráttu, 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!"
