L'espectacle comptarà amb les dues arts marcials mixtes (MMA) i baralles de kickboxing. Avui més d'hora, NEF announced the addition of an amateur title fight to the card.Nathanial Grimard(3-0) s'enfrontarà aBrandon “BAMF” Maillet-Fevens(3-1) for the vacant NEF Amateur Featherweight Championship.

Grimard and Maillet-Fevens were originally scheduled to meet at “NEF 43” last year until the event was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Grimard has not let the global pandemic slow down his fight aspirations. With New England states closed for MMA events, Grimard ventured south to Florida last February and again just last week, picking up back-to-back wins to open his amateur career at a perfect 3-0. The Exeter, New Hampshire native represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC and Bellator veteran, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, Devin Powell.

“I’m very excited for this opportunity to fight for title,” said Grimard. “I have been improving every fight, and I believe I have the skills and hard work to win the belt. I can’t wait to show my improvements in the NEF cage. I expect to see the best version of Brandon, and I think we will put on a great fight for August 21st.”

“Nate is exactly what you’d want in a fighter,” said Grimard teammate and Nostos co-proprietor Carol Linn Powell. “He does BJJ, impactant, lluita, drills, força i condicionament, spars smart, even puts the Gi on. He has been working so hard for this sport and never stopped when the world did. I can’t think of anyone more deserving of a title shot and I can’t wait to see him win that belt.”

Brandon Maillet-Fevens is one of the great comeback stories of NEF history. After losing his amateur debut at “NEF 36” in November 2018, Maillet-Fevens went on a three-fight win-streak, finishing all three of his opponents in those fights. In his most recent outing pre-pandemic, Maillet-Fevens defeated Tyler Knights (0-1) via second-round submission at “NEF 41” in November 2019. Maillet-Fevens represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based in Lewiston, Maine.

“It’s been a long year and half, but we never stopped working, never stopped perfecting our skills, because we knew this day was coming,” declared Maillet-Fevens. “I think this is a very exciting matchup. You’ve got two proven finishers that are hungry to take that next step in our careers. I know we’re both ready to go in there, put on a great show, and leave it all in the cage. I’m grateful and excited for this opportunity and I’m looking forward to a great fight!"

“Brandon is one of those guys who shows up every day, works hard, never complains, and even when he’s not fighting he’s in the gym getting better and helping his teammates,” noted CMBJJ coach Jesse Erickson. “He’s a role model for my up-and-comers. I’m very much looking forward to this contest!"

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

Juny 9, 2021 FNU47 Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Milford, New Hampshire (Juny 7, 2021) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, "NEF 44: De nou en negre,” l'agost 21, 2021. The show will originate from the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire and will feature a mix of both mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and kickboxing fights. It will be NEF’s long-awaited debut in the Granite State, and it will also be the promotion’s first event since the COVID-19 pandemic hit in the spring of 2020.

NEF’s previously-scheduled event, “NEF 43: Avalot,” which was postponed indefinitely due to the pandemic, is still awaiting a rescheduled date at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. NEF executives hope that date will be sometime later in the fall, but at press time they were still waiting on a decision from the Combat Sports Authority of Maine on re-opening the regulation of MMA and boxing events in the state without restrictions.

“Fighters and fans have waited long enough,” declared NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “With Maine not fully open for combat sports events yet, the Hampshire Dome and the New Hampshire Boxing Commission presented the perfect opportunity to get fighters back in the cage and active again before summer was over.”

NEF further announced today the first fight confirmed for the “NEF 44” card in Milford would be an amateur welterweight title contest. Duncan “The Highlander” Smith (5-3), who has held the promotion’s 170-pound championship since June 2018, is scheduled to defend against number-one-contender Mike “All Class” Bezanson (5-0).

“Coming out of COVID we’re going to find out who really wants it and is serious about accelerating in the sport,"Va dir NEF copropietari i matrimonier Matt Peterson. “Who was working during quarantine, grinding away in their basements and garages and backyards and getting better while the world was shut down? Duncan and Bezanson both believe they are those guys and we’re going to find out on August 21st. These are two of the best in the Northeast welterweight division and I can’t wait to see which one proves that they are ready to punch through into the professional division before the end of 2021.”

Reigning champion Duncan Smith is a perfect 3-0 in the NEF cage. His last defense of the title was at “NEF 38” in April 2019 when he defeated John Tefft (2-1) via unanimous decision. Smith represents Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,"Va dir Smith. “I am extremely excited to showcase my skills against a game opponent before I enter the pro ranks. A lot can change in two years.”

Undefeated Mike Bezanson is regarded by many as one of the most exciting competitors on the entire New England scene. He is known for his flashy striking style and explosive finishes. Bezanson represents Team Kaze of Lancaster, New Hampshire.

“I’ve been sitting like a caged lion this last year because of COVID,” stated Bezanson when reached for comment. “Waiting eagerly for everything to open up just like everyone else. I’m very excited to be able to get back in there to perform for everyone! I can assure you this will be the same game plan as all my previous fights. I’m going in there for two reasons, to knock out whoever is in front of me and walk out with a belt over my shoulder.”

“With everything opening up and restrictions being lifted, there is a lot to get excited about,” said Bezanson’s coach and Kaze Dojo owner Greg Williams. “That being said, nothing excites me more than seeing Mike Bezanson bringing his unique brand of violence back to the NEF cage! He is a rare talent and I believe he will eventually realize himself on the highest level. Another amateur belt is just icing on the cake. We all look forward to seeing New England’s best amateur 170 prospect and how he has evolved in the past year!"

Entrades per a “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/. The hybrid MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, Agost 21, 2021, with a bell-time of 7 pm.

Since his professional MMA debut in 2017, Aaron Pico has widely been considered one of the brightest prospects in the sport. The Jackson Wink fighter has showcased a wrestling acumen that stacks up with the best in the world, coupled with vicious punching power that has earned him stunning KO victories with both his left and right hand. The 24-year-old has shown steady growth each time out in the BELLATOR cage and is currently riding a three-fight winning streak.

Fighting for the first time on American soil, the 26-year-old Lee looks to secure his third straight victory inside the BELLATOR cage. An underrated submission specialist, the Englishman earned his fourth career victory via rear-naked choke against Damian Frankiewicz and a stunning head-kick knockout against Jeremy Petley in the first round of their matchup last September.

Més, a welterweight fight between BELLATOR veteranKyle Crutchmer (6-1) and promotional debutantLevan Chokheli(9-0, 1 NC) has been added as a preliminary bout. Crutchmer, who trains out of AKA in San Jose, wrestled at Oklahoma State University, where he became a two-time All-American and two-time Big 12 campió. Mentrestant, Chokheli looks to keep his record flawless while making a sound first impression in his BELLATOR debut. The 24-year-old Georgian boasts an impressive 100% finishing rate, having never seen the final bell in all nine of his fights.

Also added to the preliminary card, “The Boogeyman," Lance Wright(5-1) will be making his BELLATOR debut after an impressive showing on the American regional scene. He will be tasked with fightingTaylor “Tombstone” Johnson (6-2), a two-fight veteran of the BELLATOR cage.

SÃO PAUL, Brasil (Maig 25, 2021) – Lluitants a l'estable de SFT, segons MMA Premium, va dominar el rànquing nacional brasiler de MMA de maig.

A les valoracions masculines de lliura per lliura, Els combatents estables de SFT van capturar tres de les quatre primeres posicions: 2, Marcos “Babuino” de Santos (33-13-1, SFT: 3-0-), 3. Wellington "Predator" Prado (11-2-0, SFT: 5-1-0), 4. Thiago "Manchinha" Silva (19-9-0, (SFT: 0-1-0).

"Babuino" i "Depredador", respectivament, també són els primers 2 pes ploma classificats, mentre que Junior iAcacio “Pequeno” dos Santos (13-3-0, SFT: 2-0-0) va acabar un-dos a la divisió de pes lleuger.

Les dones de SFT també van ocupar el segon i tercer lloc en les valoracions de lliura per lliura femenina, respectivament, amb pesos de pallaJúlia Polastri (8-2-0, SFT: 1-0-0) iKarine "Killer" Silva (13-4-0, SFT: 2-0-0).

SFT va arrasar les tres primeres posicions del rànquing femení de pes gallo, en ordre, amb Karine “Killer,” que era de SFT 2020 Presentació del destinatari de l'any, Gisele “Gi” Moreira (9-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) iSidy Rocha (12-8-2, SFT: 0-1-0).

"SFT es va establir a 2018 per la nostra companyia de cinema i producció,” President de SFTDavid Hudson va dir. “Es van produir dos esdeveniments, però després vam estar cinc anys en suspens, i aleshores, No vaig tenir res a veure amb SFT. Quan els esdeveniments es van reprendre a 2018, Em vaig preguntar per què un país que va tenir un paper important en la creació de MMA i UFC no tenia una promoció de classe mundial. Després d'analitzar què es feia i assistirSFT 4 al Brasil, Estava segur que el problema era com es feien les coses. Vaig decidir allunyar-me de la indústria cinematogràfica i vaig dedicar la meva vida a les MMA.

"Sota el meu lideratge, SFT ha tingut una manera completament nova de promoure les MMA. Cada decisió que vaig prendre, Molts em van dir que estava equivocat, i donaria lloc a la fi de SFT. Els números no menteixen i gràcies a Déu, Tinc els números que demostren que tenia raó., No obstant això, tan innovadores i fins i tot boges poden haver estat les meves idees, Sabia que, al final, les nostres baralles havien de ser de primer nivell. Tenia un pla de 3 anys i el meu objectiu era tenir el top 10 Lluitadors brasilers a cada classe de pes a SFT, excloent els que tenien contractes fora del Brasil".

SFT està provisionalment preparada per tornar el 10 de juliol ambSFT 27 al Brasil.

"Estàvem a punt d'assolir el nostre objectiu, però la pandèmia també ens va fer aturar l'any de l'any," Va explicar Hudson. "A causa de la inactivitat, molts dels nostres lluitadors van abandonar el cim 5 i 10 en els rànquings nacionals. Encara tenim molt del millor del millor del Brasil al nostre estable i al juliol tornarem amb els nostres esdeveniments mensuals. Estic segur que en un any, les coses tornaran a la pista, i estarem més a prop del nostre objectiu.

“Part de la nostra estratègia era tenir esdeveniments als Estats Units, però encara hi ha restriccions de viatge per als brasilers que van als EUA. Tan aviat com siguem capaços de portar els nostres combatents als Estats Units per lluitar, ho farem, i llavors estarem un pas més a prop d'assolir el meu objectiu".
