EWER WILL TRY TO MAKE CHAMPIONSHIP HISTORY AT NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Decembrie 28, 2017) - Lupte New England (NEF) returns to Lewiston on Saturday, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Saturday.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF announced the addition of a professional championship bout to the card. CJ Ewer (3-0) se va întâlni Kemran Lachinov (5-2) for the vacant NEF MMA Professional Welterweight Title.

 

 

The bout will put Ewer in a unique positionto hold titles simultaneously in two weight divisions. It is a feat that has been attempted but never accomplished in NEF. Ewer is the reigning professional middleweight titleholder of the organization. He captured that title with a victory over Mike Hansen (5-8) last summer atNEF 30in Bangor, Maine. It took Ewer less than two minutes to finish Hansen with an arm triangle choke. The win not only earned Ewer the middleweight title but also a nomination for “2017 Submission of the Year.Should Ewer emerge victorious over Lachinov on February 3, he will stand atop both the welterweight and middleweight divisions. He represents Young’s MMA of Bangor.

 

 

“My opponent is fierce with a granite jaw and an iron will,” a declarat Ewer. “He’s by far the toughest fighter I’ve faced, and there will be a lot of pressure going into this fight given that it’s a title fight. I always rise to the level of competition and promise you’ll see the best, most prepared CJ you’ve ever seen.”

 

 

Kemran Lachinov is a seven-year veteran of the New England MMA scene. He is also a two-fight veteran of the Bellator cage where he remains undefeated. Lachinov is currently riding a three-fight win streak which began in early 2017. He will look to continue that success into 2018 starting with his bout against Ewer. Lachinov represents Team Link of Ludlow, Massachusetts.

M-1 Global’s 20th anniversary a smashing success in 2017

Președintele M-1 Global Vadim Finkelchtein
SAINT PETERSBURG, Rusia (Decembrie 27, 2017) — M-1 Global celebrated its 20leaanniversary in style this past year, reestablishing itself as the preeminent mixed-martial-arts organization in Europe and Russia.
M-1 promoted 13 Challenges in 2017, 11 across Russia, as well as one each in China and Finland. Fighters from around the world competed including MMA superstars such as Serghei Kharitonov și Alexander Shlemenko, as well as rising stars Alexey Kunchenko și Artem Frolov.
M-1 Global founder and president Vadim Finkelchtein reviewed the 2017 sezon, answering a series of questions below:
Global, how do you evaluate the 2017 M-1 Challenge season in terms of achievements and accomplishments as a promotional company?
VF: “În primul rând, we increased the number of events. Some were even rated among top 5 monthly sporting events on television, which is really an incredible achievement. We’ve almost finished building our new M-1 Arena and produced our own M-1 Be Strong Protein milkshake.
You promoted events in different countries this past year like Finland. Was M-1 embraced by those fans and, if so, why do you think so?
VF: “We held our first event in Finland and it was really successful. M-1 Challenge 82took place in Hartwall Arena, one of the largest venues in Finland, located in the capital of Helsinki. Many fans came to watch our promotion’s debut in that country and it became one of the biggest MMA events in Finland history. Scandinavia is a very interesting region for us. We have many fighters from Finland and next year we are going to hold another event there.
We also had a big event in Harbin, China, which was a part of cultural program of Economic Forum. Many VIP visitors and thousands of fans gathered to watch the fights and it was a superb event. China is a prospective MMA market and we are going to work further, featuring more fighters from this country, and promote one or two event a year there.
“Anul viitor, we are going to promote even more events in other countries, planning to hold M-1 Challenge shows in Georgia, Azerbaidjan, Kazahstan, Turkey, China, Finlanda, Germany and the USA.
What was the M-1 highlight of the year?
VF: “This past year we had a lot of remarkable events and fights, so it’s very difficult to choose just one highlight. If I had to choose, the rematch between Alexander Shlemenko and Brandon Halsey was the highlight of the year. Thousands of people in Saint Petersburg on June 1st came to see the rematch and that liver-kick Alexander delivered made the crowd go crazy. In the first fight, Brandon won in 35 secunde, so Alexander wanted to revenge fast and it took him just 25 secunde. That was unbelievable and unforgettable!”
Compared to past years in what areas did M-1 improve in 2017?
VF: “Each year we have more high-level fighters and that is the main difference. MMA has been developing around the world and the competition is always getting tougher. Only the best fighters receive an opportunity to sign a contract with M-1 Global. We have an opportunity to choose the best fighters, increasing the level of fights, to make it impossible to predict the winners in advance. În plus, we increased the number of events and TV coverage with some new TV contracts worldwide.
This was your 20th year. When you started 20 years ago did you envision the success M-1 has had in MMA?
VF: “I could not imagine MMA would become so popular. I went through the entire MMA evolution and the past 20 years I’ve been working on the promotion to make it better each year. The path was not easy because many years ago this kind of sport was considered criminal. Many called it fights without rules and I had to work hard to make people think about it as a legitimate sport.
M-1 added the flyweight division this past year. Why and was it successful in the eyes of fans?
VF: “Flyweight fighters can produce incredible performances. It was necessary for us to create this division because we knew that there were lot of good flyweight fighters. They wanted to fight in M-1 and we made it happen. We already have the first champion and a several tough contenders. În 2018, the flyweight division will be very interesting.

2017 Rookie ANULUI REVENIREA LA Cușca LA NEF 32

Lewiston, Maine (Decembrie 27, 2017) - Lupte New England (NEF) revine la Lewiston peSâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018 cu urmatorul eveniment mixt de arte marțiale promovarea lupta lui, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă.” Mai devreme astăzi, NEF a anunțat adăugarea unui card de amatori pentru femeile cu greutate galantă pe card. Jayda “Lil Killah” Curte interioară în castele feudale(1-0) este programat pentru a face față Amanda Gallo (0-1) la o greutate de 135 de luptă-de lire sterline.

Jayda Bailey a apărut în acest an când a devenit cea mai tânără atletă care a concurat vreodată într-o luptă MMA sancționată în Maine. La doar opt zile după a 18-a aniversare, vârsta minimă legală pentru un participant MMA în stat, Bailey a pus împreună o performanță dominantă în debutul ei împotriva Danae Dostie (0-1) la “NEF 31.” I-a trebuit puțin peste 90 de secunde pentru a obține o victorie TKO. Atât de impresionant a fost câștigul, încât i-a adus lui Bailey o nominalizare “Rookie of the Year.” Fanii au fost de acord și l-au votat pe Hermon, Adolescent din Maine ca beneficiar al premiului. Bailey este în prezent membru al Young’s MMA din Bangor. Vara asta, la absolvirea liceului, ea intenționează să se mute în Albuquerque, New Mexico, unde ea se va alătura Jackson Wink MMA Academy – acasa, la mai multe vedete de top UFC.

“Eu nu pot să aștept să-și intensifice în cușcă din nou și va afișa abilitățile mele,” Bailey said. “Mă uit pentru a obține mai bine de fiecare dată când mă lupt, și eu sunt încântat să se confruntă cu o nouă provocare.”

Această nouă provocare va veni sub forma lui Amanda Gallo. Gallo se antrenează cu Robson Moura Nations United (RMNU) cu sediul în Tampa, Florida. A debutat în cușcă în toamna anului 2016 împotriva Laine Orabona (2-2) pe o carte de luptă în Georgia. Concursul palpitant a trecut de la distanță și l-a văzut pe Gallo pierzând o decizie divizată foarte strânsă asupra judecătorilor’ scorecard. Va veni în Maine în căutarea primului câștig al tinerei sale cariere.

următor eveniment mixt de arte marțiale ale FEN, “NEF 32: Super Sâmbătă,” se va vedea compania face revenirea la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. Evenimentul este programat să aibă loc pe Sâmbătă, Februarie 3, 2018. Biletele sunt la vânzare acum online lawww.TheColisee.com.

Michael McDonald (18-4) învins Peter Ligier (8-2-1) prin decizie unanimă (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

McDonald Quote: “I was happy with the performance. He ate some heavy punches. I hit him hard enough to break my right hand again, so he’s very durable and I expected that from him. I’ve seen him get put down and keep coming. He was very impressive, I’m honored to have fought him and he really stepped up to the occasion. I think that I have some pretty high accolades for a bantamweight, but I really have no idea how that stacks up to the other guys in my division. We will let this hand heal up and find out soon.”

 

Valerie Letourneau (9-6) învins Kate Jackson (9-3-1) prin decizie unanimă (30-27, 30-27, 30-27)

Letourneau Quote: “I never feel like I’m doing enough. That’s the first thing I ask my coach: ‘Was it a good fight?’ I think experience has taught me to be patient in the fight and to fight smart. You always want to put on a show, but sometimes it can cost you the fight. În ultima mea luptă, I didn’t do enough because I was too careful. I wanted to bring all that experience together and make the best of it.”

 

“This was a very important fight for me. Sunt 34, my daughter’s a teenager now. I’ve sacrificed a lot of things for my career. But I want this Bellator belt so bad. It was really hard for me to watch Ilima Macfarlane and Emily Ducote fight for it first. I have so much respect for both of them, but I wanted to be the first one to fight for the title. Din păcate, that didn’t happen but to me that’s the only thing I have on my mind right now. Ilima knows I want to fight her and she had a really good performance in her last fight. When it happens, I think it’s going to be a really good matchup. It’s going to be an exciting fight.”

Mohammad Yahya (4-1) învins Ash Griffiths (4-5) prin TKO la 3:26 de o rundă

Yahya Quote: “This is what we trained for and we executed exactly as we planned. I was very confident in the opening round. I said that I was going to win in the first round by TKO and I did just that. It’s confidence, but this is also a product of hard work. I was training very hard for this and I executed. I knew that I had the best team in the world and we’re on to the next one now.”

De Fries Quote: "Ma simt minunat, the less damage the better. I’m not getting any prettier. Hats off to James, he’s a legend. It’s a shame it was over so quick, it could have been a barn burner. But I’m happy. I want to climb the ladder here in Bellator. If there is an opening in this tournament, I’ll gladly step in. I feel great at the moment. Fighting is 90 percent mental and the first half of my career, I didn’t have the head for it. But now I’m putting everything together, I feel great and I’m performing. Sunt gata, Voi lupta nimeni.

 

Jeremy Petley (12-8) def. Lewis Monarch (9-3) prin decizie divizat (29-28 x2, 27-30)

 

Fotografii: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/q1gw2zn80ujf2ps/AABweE-l4KMFb00-hvR7CExDa?dl = 0

 

Petley Quote: “I was prepared to do the job and really demonstrate my skills. He put up a tough fight and made me work for it. I was prepared for a war, and that’s what he gave me so I had to dig deep. Lewis was a good opponent but I knew no matter what the situation or adversity, that I have a big heart, I have work ethic, a good skillset and a good corner behind me. I knew that no matter what happened, I would come out with the victory.”

 

“This is a fraction of my potential. Vreau luptele mari, I want the Bellator title. I want to move up, I want to move forward and fight late in the night. I have what it takes, so I’ll take anybody. This was not the most convincing win, but no matter who I face, I can win. I don’t care who it is up against me, I can always find a way. I find a way to win. That’s what I do.”

“Sunt încântat să încep 2018 with three straight weeks of LFA action across the country”, A declarat Soares. “Curtis Millender and Nick Barnes are coming off big wins in LFA headliners and will meet in the main event of LFA 30 in southern California on January 12th. The following week, we head to Arizona with top contenders Bobby Moffett and Thanh Le meeting for the interim featherweight title in the main event LFA 31. We finish the month with two title fights at LFA 32 in southern Louisiana. Brendan Allen faces Anthony Hernandez for the vacant middleweight title in the main event and Ryan Spann will take on Alex Nicholson for the inaugural light-heavyweight title in the co-headliner.
Mill Ends (13-3) se întoarce acasă la clădirea unde a luptat și a câștigat primele șapte lupte. Jucătorul Orange County încearcă să construiască un perfect 2017 unde a câștigat trei lupte, inclusiv capetele de afișaj LFA spate-în-spate. Cea mai recentă victorie a sa a venit prin rolul principal Head Kick KO în evenimentul principal al LFA 24. Millender îl va întâlni pe Barnes (12-2) într-o confruntare mult așteptată între două dintre cele mai bune din sudul Californiei. Vedetele cu greutate welter și-au început cariera în circuitul regional din sudul Californiei, a trecut la Bellator, și se va întâlni în cele din urmă la evenimentul principal al LFA 30. Barnes, ca Millender, is coming off an impressive win in an LFA headliner.
Principalul eveniment al LFA 31 is a fight that casual fans and MMA purists alike are salivating over. It pits a rugged and accomplished BJJ black belt in Moffett (10-2) against one of the most dynamic strikers in all of MMA in Le (7-1) with the LFA interim featherweight title on the line. Pe hârtie, this is a textbook grappler vs. striker bout at its highest form. Totuși, both men bring so much more to the table than what their respective martial arts backgrounds represent. Moffett, who trains out of The MMA Lab, has shown a willingness to throw down with anyone, while Le trains with BJJ wunderkind and UFC star Ryan Hall in northern Virginia.
LFA will conclude its busy month of January with a pair of title tilts in southern Louisiana. LFA standout and Louisiana native Allen (8-2) will get a second shot at LFA gold after going five rounds with current UFC star Eryk Anders for the inaugural LFA middleweight title in June. Allen quickly rebounded six weeks later with a submission win in the co-main event of LFA 18. He will face another highly-touted undefeated prospect for the title. This time it comes in the form of the northern California destroyer Hernandez (5-0). The man known asFluffyhas finished everyone he has faced inside the first round.
The co-main event of LFA 32 will crown the inaugural LFA light-heavyweight champion. Spann (12-5) is a former Legacy FC title challenger that will look to capture LFA gold in front of his home crowd. “Supraom” is riding considerable momentum heading into this fight after dispatching a pair of top contenders in the first round of his last two bouts at LFA 23 and LFA 27. He will face Nicholson (10-4) who has been a man on fire since his four-fight run with the UFC ended in May. The Florida native has been a tour de force since then as he looks to make his way back. In the past two months, “The Spartanhas knocked out three quality opponents in grand total of 3 minutes and 28 secunde.
In Septembrie 2016, Legacy FC and RFA officials announced that they would be merging to form the premier developmental organization in Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) starting in January 2017. Legacy FC and RFA have launched the careers of over 150 athletes that have reached the pinnacle of MMA by competing in the UFC.
