FROM THE SHORES OF SEBAGO LAKE TO THE MMA CAGE, HARD-WORK IS A WAY OF LIFE FOR KAM ARNOLD

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Januari 16, 2018) – Kam Arnold might be the ultimate Maine mixed martial artist from central casting.

 

 

Blue-collar sensibilities shaped his young life. He grew up in a small community where young boys often had to conjure up their own forms of entertainment. And yes, sometimes that meant fighting solely for the sake of fighting.

 

 

“I have two older brothers, and friends who were around all the time that are like brothers. We pretty much adopted them, kamu tahu?” Arnold said. “And any time you have that situation, there are fights going on in the yard all the time. I remember one time seeing my brothers rolling around on the stairs in the house, and of course I just had to jump in and get involved in that.”

 

 

Arnold, yang ternyata 25 this month, is more structured but no less passionate today about exercising his grit, guile and strength in such physical encounters.

 

 

Veteran of one, quick knockout win in the New England Fights cage, Arnold returns for another dose on Hari Sabtu, Februari 3 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee. He will confront Kyle Kenney in an amateur bantamweight bout at “NEF 32: Super Hari Sabtu."

 

 

Fighting under the Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) umbrella, Arnold made a dramatic first impression, dispatching Glenn Kasabian di 1 minute, 54 detik.

 

 

“Glenn’s a tough dude. Dia seorang pejuang. He’s a great guy outside the cage. Saya memiliki banyak rasa hormat untuk dia. He wanted to stand up with me. It’s one of things where I just flipped the switch,” Arnold recalled. “He’s pretty rangy, pretty tall. I went in there wanting to let him know he was in for a battle, and fortunately it turned out in my favor. I was the better fighter that night.”

 

 

Arnold admittedly was disappointed that the result wasn’t enough to earn the 2017 “NEF Rookie of the Year” hadiah. He vows not to leave any doubt about his potential in the local hexagon when he takes on Kenney, an opponent about whom he knows precious little.

 

 

"Ya, I was pretty bummed, but I know everybody else busts their ass just like I do,” Arnold said. “I have high expectations for myself, and I want to make a statement with this fight.”

 

 

A native of Casco, on the shores of Maine’s Sebago Lake, Arnold describes a hard-knocks upbringing that clashed with the bucolic, tourist-trap surroundings.

 

Arnold’s family had close ties to a motorcycle club, although he is reluctant to discuss its impact on his life other than to agree that it enhanced his fighting spirit.

 

 

“They’re all genuine people. I will say that. I have an awful lot of people supporting me in this. I would be nothing without them. My father and mother are the two toughest people I know,” Arnold said. “As a kid growing up, I had to be tough. That’s just the way it was. I just come from a blue-collar family. I don’t really want to get into all the details of it, but I just had to be tough. It made me what I am today.”

 

 

In addition to grappling with his older siblings and their friends, Arnold unfortunately was a victim of circumstances that are all too prominent in today’s schoolyards and playgrounds.

 

 

“I was a very small kid for my age,” he explained. “I got bullied a lot in school and had to find a way to manage that. Sayangnya, I got into a lot of fights because I had to defend myself.”

 

 

Arnold learned many of those self-defense techniques through his passion for combat sports.

 

 

He fell in love with professional wrestling, MMA, and especially boxing, although “there weren’t many options to pursue boxing in small-town Maine,” dia mengatakan.

 

 

While attending Oxford Hills and Lake Region high schools, Arnold briefly took up high school wrestling. It was not until adulthood that he found his way to Lewiston’s CMBJJ, one of the hub facilities that has helped build NEF’s talent base over the past six years.

 

 

“Of course there’s a part of me that wishes I had started this earlier, when I was 18 atau 19, like a lot of guys,” said Arnold, yang ternyata 25 this month. “But I’m thankful for where I’m at now, and for Matt Peterson and NEF for giving this opportunity to show what I can do.”

 

 

Boxing and stand-up skills proved Arnold’s bread-and-butter in his debut. He hopes the Kenney fight will give him a chance to exhibit the wider array of lessons he has learned from his training partners.

 

 

Arnold credits former NEF amateur flyweight champion Dustin Veinott with the bulk of his development.

 

 

“I feel like I have the best coaching staff in the state,” Arnold said. “I haven’t really had the opportunity to travel around and cross-train, but I have so much faith in the guys at my own gym.

 

 

“Dustin Veinott has been crucial. I feel like with his knowledge I can go anywhere I want to in this sport. And when you combine that with Jesse Erickson, Travis Wells, Matt Denning, the sky is the limit. They’ve put their belief in me, and I want to show them I’ve earned it.”

 

 

When asked for a prediction about the February fight, Arnold somewhat channeled Clubber Lang’s reply of “pain” from Rocky III.

 

 

“Look for some blood,” Arnold said. “It’s coming. I can’t wait to put on a show.”

 

 

The opening bell Februari 3 ditetapkan untuk 7 p.m. Tiket tersedia di www.TheColisee.com or by calling the box office at207.783.2009 ext. 525.

Ketegangan Menjalankan tinggi sebagai Mantan Falcons Rekan tim Siapkan untuk MMA Cage Pertempuran

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Januari 10, 2018) – Tumbuh di komunitas kerah biru yang sama dan memajukan melalui sama, Program olahraga bertingkat tidak lantas membuat dua orang sahabat.

 

 

 

Mantan rekan Gunung Valley High School, dan masa depan New England Perkelahian campuran lawan seni bela diri, Ryan Burgess dan Nate Boucher adalah bukti dari pepatah lama, “keakraban melahirkan penghinaan.”

 

 

 

Burgess, 24, dan Boucher, 21, akan pertempuran di amatir kelas terbang pertarungan di “NEF 32: Super Hari Sabtu"Pada tanggal Hari Sabtu, Februari 3. Pertarungan di Androscoggin Bank Colisee akan menentukan nomor satu pesaing di divisi 125-pound, dan mendapatkan pemenang judul ditembak melawan juara Justin Witham.

 

 

 

Ini akan menjadi hampir satu tahun sejak Burgess, tiga kali juara Maine gulat SMA dan juara NEF masa lalu, berjalan ke kandang. Dia disebut NEF co-pemilik mak comblang Matt Peterson dan secara khusus meminta pertarungan Boucher.

 

 

 

Mengapa? Di satu sisi, itu adalah keputusan bisnis setelah dekat Boucher ini, loss split-keputusan untuk Witham dalam pertarungan gelar November.

 

 

 

“Aku sudah keluar selama satu tahun. Aku berharap untuk melompat kembali ke pertarungan gelar,”Burgess menjelaskan. “Setelah berjuang Nate dengan Witham, Aku tahu dia ingin pertandingan ulang segera. Setelah menjadi jelas bahwa tidak akan terjadi hingga April, Saya bertanya apakah kami bisa melakukan laga ini pada bulan Februari, dan Nate mengambilnya.”

 

 

 

Burgess (2-2) kemudian meluncurkan satu atau dua granat media sosial yang muncul untuk menunjukkan beberapa tingkat kebencian terhadap sesama Falcon-nya. Sangat mungkin kurang pribadi daripada taktis; Burgess merasakan kesempatan untuk mengeksploitasi apa yang ia lihat sebagai salah satu celah dalam baju besi Boucher ini.

 

 

 

“Nate, sejak dia masih kecil, memiliki sikap kencing-miskin ketika dia kalah. Saya berharap untuk merendahkan dirinya sedikit dan pastikan dia tidak perlu khawatir tentang pertarungan ini mendapatkan di tangan para hakim,”Kata Burgess. “Nate mungkin bisa menjadi dua- atau tiga kali juara negara jika ia telah memberikan dirinya kesempatan untuk melakukan itu. Jika ia masih memiliki sikap yang sama ia kembali maka, itu akan berakhir dengan cara yang sama.”

 

 

 

Burgess adalah salah satu dari hanya empat juara negara tiga kali dalam sejarah MVHS. Secara Kebetulan, saudara Boucher ini, Ethan, juga mencapai prestasi yang.

 

 

 

Boucher, yang telah diambil empat kali juara tikar Maine SMA, dan dua kali finalis New England, Yeremia Barkac dari Dexter selama waktunya di segi enam NEF, terlihat dan terdengar seperti karakter yang berbeda dari orang yang berjuang menjauh dari tikar sebagai remaja.

 

 

 

Setelah memenangkan dua perkelahian pertama dengan mudah, Boucher (2-1) bukan satu-satunya di gedung yang merasa telah berbuat cukup untuk mendapatkan sabuk di Portland.

 

 

 

“Saya pikir saya dikendalikan dua putaran pertama laga. ketiga, benar-benar. Dua yang pertama aku cukup banyak (Dengan saya) tersedak keluar,”Kata Boucher. “Itu berakhir menjadi pengalaman belajar bagi saya bahwa Anda tidak bisa meninggalkan perjuangan untuk para hakim. Hal yang besar tentang jajaran amatir, sementara tentu saja aku peduli rekor saya, pada akhir hari itu bagian dari proses belajar untuk membuat Anda lebih baik profesional.”

 

 

 

Menanggapi Burgess’ tembakan di Facebook, Boucher mempertanyakan perilaku mantan juara setelah memenangi tali NEF dua perkelahian dalam karirnya.

 

 

 

“Aku tidak banyak untuk pembicaraan sampah. Aku hanya menikmati olahraga. Saya suka melawan dan kemudian pulang saja. Dia melakukan sedikit untuk membangun egonya saya pikir,”Kata Boucher. “Dia menjatuhkan sabuk karena ia mengalami kesulitan membuat berat badan, yang cukup sopan, menurutku. Dia keluar untuk sementara waktu, jadi sekarang aku di depan dia, dan dia tahu dia harus melalui saya.”

 

 

 

Burgess mengatakan ia digunakan PHK itu untuk menyelesaikan pendidikan tinggi dan mengembangkan kepercayaan sebagai asisten terapi fisik, menunjukkan bahwa profesi medis lebih mungkin untuk menjadi karir jangka panjang dari MMA.

 

 

 

Sementara ia melanjutkan jadwal pelatihan di Rumford Community Center dengan Berserkers MMA, Burgess mengatakan itu kurang intens dan terstruktur sebelum kerugian melawan Witham dan Dustin Veinott. Burgess sebelumnya mengalahkan kedua rival.

 

 

 

“Secara fisik saya masih harus mengalahkan mereka, tapi secara mental aku tidak siap seperti yang saya seharusnya. Sekarang aku jauh lebih terfokus,”Kata Burgess. “Pada saat itu saya sedang menyelesaikan sekolah, kerja paruh waktu 20 untuk 30 jam seminggu dan pergi ke sekolah untuk mungkin lain 40. Saya kehilangan dua perkelahian di mana aku berada di bawah berat badan. Saya kenaikan berat badan sementara orang-orang lain memotong berat badan. Aku akan pergi ke sana pada batas dan mereka akan memakai 10 untuk 15 pound antara menimbang-in dan pertarungan.”

 

 

 

Boucher diakui tidak pernah mencapai potensinya sebagai pegulat SMA. Ia telah mengikuti jalan yang berbeda dari Burgess, mendaftar di Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu - di mana ia masih melatih hari ini - pada usia 13.

 

 

 

“Saya memiliki beberapa mitra pelatihan terberat dan terbaik di negara bagian,”Kata Boucher. "Saya jiu-jitsu telah datang jauh, hampir titik di mana itu telah berlalu saya bergulat sedikit. Tentu saja, gulat adalah apa yang saya selalu kembali ke ketika saya membutuhkannya. mencolok saya adalah malam-dan-hari. Itu mengerikan untuk laga pertama saya.”

 

 

 

Dia menambahkan bahwa keberhasilannya terbesar dalam MMA telah datang dengan mengorbankan mantan pegulat.

 

 

 

Burgess mengandalkan Boucher meremehkan sisa repertoar. Sebagai seseorang yang mengambil bergulat di tim universitas junior sekolah menengah di kelas tujuh, ia mengatakan bahwa sejarah sebagai studi cepat telah dibawa ke ranah jiu-jitsu dan tinju.

 

 

 

“Saya pikir dia akan terkejut. Dia pikir dia tahu apa yang saya bawa ke meja,”Kata Burgess. “Semua yang dia tahu tentang saya adalah gulat saya, tapi aku punya banyak lebih dari itu untuk jatuh kembali. Aku sudah tahu apa yang dia membawa ke meja. Dan dia tidak akan belajar dalam dua bulan apa yang saya pelajari dalam dua tahun."

 

 

 

Bel pembukaan di Februari 3 ditetapkan untuk 7 p.m. Tiket tersedia di www.TheColisee.com.

‘BIG’ JOHN MCCARTHY TO JOIN BELLATOR BROADCAST TEAM

WILL MAKE COLOR COMMENTARY DEBUT AT Bellator 192 ON JAN. 20 – LIVE ON PARAMOUNT NETWORK

JUGA, CHAEL SONNEN SIGNS EXTENSION TO REMAIN IN BROADCAST BOOTH

MALAIKAT - Bellator is pleased to announce that it has come to an agreement with John McCarthy to serve as color commentator during broadcasts on the soon-to-launch Paramount Network, which kicks off with Bellator 192 pada tanggal Hari Sabtu, Bulan Januari 20.

 

“With the addition of ‘Big’ John to our broadcast team, we have put together the premier group of MMA commentators ahead of our Jan. 20 debut on the Paramount Network,Presiden Bellator Scott Coker berkata. “With John and Chael providing analysis, you’re getting two people who have spent more time in the cage than they have spent with a headset on, and that will translate to a positive viewing experience for Bellator fans.”

 

Selama masa lalu 20 tahun, “Big” John McCarthy has set the bar when it comes to officiating in MMA, a sport where he has overseen countless fights promoted by Bellator and other promotions all over the world, serving as the referee for some of the biggest bouts in the history of the sport. A former Los Angeles Police Officer, and a Self-Defense Instructor at the Los Angeles Police Academy, McCarthy is also the founder of “C.O.M.M.A.N.D.,” a program that trains and certifies hopeful MMA referees and judges. McCarthy’s regulatory work is equally as impressive, as he was a key figure in the writing of the sport’s Unified Rules, which are recognized by the ABC and athletic commissions all across North America.

 

Along with his broadcasting duties, the man behind the catchphrase “Let’s get it on!” will also provide a unique level of first-hand insight to the plethora of original content produced by Bellator’s digital team.

 

“I first want to say how grateful I am for the opportunity I have been given to work with the incredible team Bellator has assembled. It is always so hard to leave something you love, but I have always wanted to step away based on my terms rather than someone else’s. My goals are to work as hard as I can to meet the expectations everyone will have for me and to hopefully someday exceed them.” McCarthy said. “I cannot think of anyone I would rather be working with than Scott Coker. Scott has always been a person I admire because of his honesty, loyalty and love for the martial arts. I want to thank everyone from Bellator and Viacom for the trust you are bestowing upon me to keep the commentating of Bellator MMA at the highest levels of the sport.”

 

Tambahan lagi, Chael Sonnen has signed an extension to remain a part of select Bellator broadcasts, breaking down all the action alongside Bellator announcers Mike Goldberg dan Mauro Ranallo.

 

Chael Sonnen spent a majority of his 44-fight career with the UFC and WEC, a run that saw him defeat former middleweight champion Michael Bisping, and compete against the likes of Jon Jones, Anderson Silva (dua kali), Rashad Evans, "Shogun" Rua, Demian Maia and Brian Stann. In addition to his in-ring action, the West Linn, Ore. native has mastered the art of being in front of the camera, having done broadcast work for both ESPN and Fox Sports. Following a three-year hiatus from active MMA competition, Sonnen returned to the cage against Tito Ortiz di Bellator 170 in January and then went on to defeat Wanderlei Silva during the main event of Bellator: NYC.

 

Bellator and the soon-to-launch Paramount Network open 2018 with a bang when Bellator 192: Lima vs. MacDonald emanates from The Forum in California on Jan. 20. Anchored by a welterweight world title fight featuring Douglas Lima defending his championship against Rory MacDonald, the blockbuster event also will see the aforementioned Chael Sonnen compete against “Rampage” Jackson in the opening contest of 2018’s Bellator Heavyweight World Grand Prix.

Do you plan to expand your fighter base even more this year and, if so, what countries are you targeting for fighters?
VF: “Usually, we hire fighters from countries where our events are being broadcasted. If we have new contracts with the countries from where we don’t have representative fighters, or only have a few of them, we are going to increase their number. The same for countries where we’ve held events because fans desire to see the local athletes fighting in the Rage. We give them an opportunity to see that.
With the success of female MMA stars around the world do you plan to add a female division in 2018?
VF: “One day we will probably create a female division in M-1 Global. Sekarang juga, meskipun, we don’t have enough strong female fighters to do it, namun. As soon as we are ready to make this happen, it will be done, but we don’t want to open a new division just to check the box. We want the best fighters to compete at the highest level.
M-1 Global is closing in on your 100th M-1 Challenge event. Do you plan to promote your 100th event in 2018? If so can you provide any additional information about when, di mana, special plans, dan sebagainya.
VF: M-1 Global has already promoted more than 200 Peristiwa, termasuk di dalamnya 85 M-1 Challenges, which was created in 2008. I think that this event will happen either in Saint-Petersburg or in Moscow, but we still have a lot of time left and a dozen other events before it. We are going to take care of it a bit later.
M-1 has developed fighters who’ve moved on to the UFC and other organizations. How do you feel about that trend? Does it frustrate you that you to spend time building a fighter and then have him move on, or do you look at it as a compliment that M-1 Global develops fighters who can compete in the UFC and any other organization?
VF: “We can consider this situation from different perspectives. I’m not happy to let my best fighters go, tentu saja, tapi itu adalah apa itu, and we are not ready to compete with UFC yet. Sometimes our fighters leave us. From another perspective, we are happy that our fighters who leave keep winning fights and become the top competitors in other promotions. It proves that the level of M-1 Global fighters is equal to the level of UFC fighters. The top athletes who left M-1 Global for UFC are in top positions there and other promotions don’t have such results. Other organization may make their fighters popular but, as soon as they move to UFC, they start losing and get released.
Our company is probably the second MMA promotion in the world and when some fighters move to the strongest league on the planet, they take a step forward, which I like much better than when they move to weaker promotions than M-1 Global just to make more money.
Any plans to do anything different this year than in the past, outside of the grand opening of the M-1 arena and possible 100th event?
VF: “The main difference will be that we are going to have our own home, M-1 Arena, which means we will be able to hold even more events. We’d like to have two events each month, 24 events a year. We opened our own TV channel (M1global.tv) and next year, MMA fans from former Soviet Republics will have an opportunity to watch all the fights. Using our iOS and Android App, viewers from all over the world can watch old and new fights right now, and next year we are going to make it even better. We are also going to create our own studio to produce different content, probably a new reality show with fighters from different countries.
Will you have showcase M-1 Medieval fights this coming year?
VF: “Apparently, we will have some medieval fights in 2018, but the only issue is that we have a lot of fighters under contract, so it is not easy to find a place for M-1 Medieval fights on our cards. We make knight fights in regions where they are popular, like in Ingushetia and Finland in 2017, because fans demonstrated to us that they want to see them. I hope one day we’ll have more resources for them.

I’m excited to kick off 2018 by bringing LFA back to southern California”, Menyatakan Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headlining bouts where they won in enemy territory. Now they get to face each other in the main event of LFA 30 on their home turf in a perfect headliner to start the new year.
Tickets for LFA 30 – Millender vs. Barnes are available for purchase NOW at CageTix.com/LFA.
Mill Ends (13-3) returns home to the building where he fought and won his first seven fights. The Orange County juggernaut is looking to build off a perfect 2017 where he won three fights, including back-to-back LFA headliners. His most recent win came via highlight reel Head Kick KO in the main event of LFA 24. Millender will meet Barnes (12-2) in a long-awaited showdown between two of southern California’s finest. The welterweight stars started their careers in the southern California regional circuit, moved on to Bellator, and will finally meet in the main event of LFA 30. Barnes, like Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner this past August at LFA 20.
While the main event will feature a rivalry between two of the top welterweights in LFA, the co-main event will feature a rivalry between two of the LFA featherweight division’s most talented jiu-jitsu practitioners.
Fernando Padilla (10-1) put the division on notice in October, when he submitted longtime RFA vet Darrick Minner with a Triangle-Armbar in the first round of their co-main event bout at LFA 25. Padilla, who is a 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu brown belt, has now won 90% of his fights by first round stoppage. He will now face a man equally dangerous on the ground when he meets Talison Soares (9-2) in the co-main event of LFA 30. Soares is a jiu-jitsu black belt from the famed Checkmat BJJ team who has made a name for himself competing in his native Brazil. Soares has a 100% finishing rate in the nine bouts he has won and will now make his international debut in the co-main event of LFA 30.
