NEF CELEBRATES TEN-YEAR ANNIVERSARY WITH RIVETING FIGHT NIGHT IN PORTLAND; RETURN TO L/A AREA ANNOUNCED

發表評論

波特蘭, 緬因 (二月 13, 2022) – One new champion and one successful title defense in the amateur ranks and one stunning reversal of fortune at the professional level highlighted New England Fights’ 10-year anniversary card Saturday night.

“NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” was a jam-packed, 15-fight fusillade before another sold-out, energetic crowd at Aura in Portland, 緬因.

邁克·默里 和Zach Faulkner thrilled those fans with an early “Fight of the Year” candidate in their brouhaha for the vacant 170-pound title. 穆雷 (4-2) applied the lessons he learned in prior losses to Zac Richard and Tim Birkenhead at NEF 40 和 41, 分別, by rallying for a split decision victory over Faulkner (4-2).

On the heels of a unanimous win on the scorecards in his most recent fight, Faulkner set the tone with a thunderous slam in the opening round. He fought out of a guillotine attempt in the second stanza and bounced back from a pair of early Murray takedowns to inflict a fair share of punishment in the third.

Murray turned momentum in his direction by landing a bundle of bombs in round four, and Faulkner’s takedown late in the fifth likely wasn’t enough to seal the deal after Murray connected with a series of body punches.

The other title bout took much less time and left far less to interpretation.Tyler Smythe (4-1) was authoritative in his first defense of the 125-pound strap, dispatching瑞恩·伯吉斯 (3-3) via rear naked choke at 2:37 的首輪.

Burgess ended a four-year layoff from the NEF hexagon to challenge Smythe, who won the title with a technical knockout of Caleb Austin.

He pushed the issue early, but Smythe turned the tables on that aggression by throwing Burgess to the mat. 伯吉斯’ attempt at a retaliatory armbar failed, and Smythe ultimately locked in a guillotine choke that ended his night.

In a highlight among the five professional bouts, 卡爾·蘭斯頓 – winless in six prior pro bouts after an extensive amateur career – avenged his most recent defeat with a rear naked choke of理查德·扎克.

The end came 81 seconds after the opening bell, when Richard (1-1), a past NEF amateur champion and decorated wrestler, went for a takedown. He initially succeeded but gave up his back and fell victim to the choke.

Both fighters accepted the 140-pound bout on only a few days’ notice after their initial opponents became unavailable. Richard lowered the boom on Langston with a knockout at 3:52 of the first round in his pro debut back in November.

Langston, 誰去 7-9 as an amateur and took four of his six pro conquerors to the scorecards, promised a different outcome in his pre-fight remarks, and he delivered.

亞倫萊西 班戈, 緬因, making his first appearance in the cage since September 2018, 提高到 7-2 in the pro main event with a second-round technical knockout to strikes over Bronx bomber and Bellator veteranJerome Mickle (4-12).  In an emotional moment to end the night, Mickle announced his retirement after nearly nine years of cage competition.

Lacey took advantage of an early takedown to dominate the first round of the 155-pound showcase, then ramped up his ground-and-pound assault to another level in the second chapter before the referee waved off the proceedings at 1:42.

In the sole women’s fight on the card, 萬人空巷沃森的榮耀 (2-1) continued her winning ways with a rear naked choke of previously undefeatedAlibeth Milliron (2-1) 在 2:23 of the second round in their 115-pound tussle.

Both women landed early haymakers, with Watson’s facial expressions indicating she was anything but hurt. She further demonstrated that point by taking Milliron to the canvas and narrowly running out of time in her first attempt to turn out the lights.

Milliron made more overtures with the stand-up game in round two. A quick takedown and a series of punches gave Watson another opportunity for the choke, 然而, and she sealed the deal.

In a battle of two 140-pounders making their pro debut, Nate Grimard exercised top control throughout and breezed to a unanimous decision over Anthony Vasta.  Grimard’s success as a pro comes as no surprise to fans. He is a former NEF Amateur Featherweight Champion who put together a record of 4-1 in the amateur ranks.

穆罕默德·Kinani also enjoyed a victorious dive into the pro waters, needing only 42 seconds to dismissChris Rooney (0-2) via strikes at 155. Al Kinani countered Rooney’s early kick with a flurry, dropping Rooney and subjecting him to another barrage that hastened the stoppage.

First Class MMA stablematesCody Kilton 和賈斯汀面料 passed muster with the judges in back-to-back amateur bouts.

Kilton (2-1) carved out a unanimous decision overKaleb Kenney(0-2) 在 155. Kangas (1-3) tasted victory for the first time with a split decision verdict at the expense of喬恩·阿薩姆 (2-4). Kangas kept control on the ground through the second and third rounds to put the long-awaited mark in the left-hand column of his ledger.

Three amateur bouts featured the rookie outing for both combatants.

Mike Jolicoeur used an arm triangle to take care of business against威爾史密斯 在 145. In a 125-pound collision, Key Baltazar locked in a rear naked choke at 1:33 of the second round againstQuinn Poirier. Baltazar’s team, Nostos MMA, was an undefeated 3-0 at “NEF 46.”Jack Burke punctuated his win overNick Legrande with a brutal knockout blow at 1:25 of the opening frame in their 265-pound rumble.

Curtis Ouellette (2-3) spoiledChristopher Smith’s debut with a TKO via accumulation of strikes in round three.

Two other amateur scraps produced first-round finishes.Jeff Reynolds (3-2) won by rear naked choke overDavid McCarty (1-1) 在 185, 和Ben Grady(3-0) kept his record spotless when布蘭登MAILLET-Fevens (3-3) couldn’t continue after injuring his arm while blocking a kick. Reynolds’ win gave his team of Karasu Tengu Academy a perfect record of 2-0 on the night.

發表評論

即時發布: 波特蘭, 緬因 (十一月 30, 2021) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) 事件, “NEF 46: Decade of Dominance,” on Saturday, 二月 12, 2022, 在Aura在波特蘭, Maine. The event will commemorate NEF’s ten-year anniversary. The leading regional promotion launched on February 11, 2012. 今天早些時候，, NEF宣布增加了一個專業的輕量級回合的戰鬥卡. Former NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionNathaniel Grimard (0-0) is scheduled to take onAnthony Vasta (0-0) 在145磅重的戰鬥.

Nathaniel Grimard made his NEF MMA debut in September 2019 at “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” That night, Grimard submitted Justin Kangas (0-3) via armbar in the first round. During the pandemic lockdown, Grimard competed twice in Florida and improved his record to 3-0. His unbeaten record positioned Grimard to challenge for the then vacant NEF Featherweight Championship. 八月, Grimard stopped Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2) in the second round at “NEF 44: Back in Black” to become the 145-pound titleholder. Grimard got right back in the cage at “NEF 45: Uprising” to defend his strap against Billy Wilson (7-1) from the famed Jackson Wink MMA camp in New Mexico. Grimard lost a laborious five-round decision that made Wilson the new champion. 現在, Grimard hits the reset switch as he plans to turn professional against NEF newcomer, Anthony Vasta. Grimard represents Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire where he trains under UFC and Bellator veteran, and former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, 德文 - 鮑威爾 (10-5).

“I can’t imagine a better way to start my pro career than on NEF’s 10th anniversary card,” Grimard stated. “I have big goals for myself and I’m ready to take on anybody in my way. I have nothing but respect for Vasta and his martial arts skills, but I have never been more focused.”

Anthony Vasta will also be making his professional debut at NEF 46. Vasta and Grimard made their respective MMA amateur debuts within a couple of months of each other. Vasta and Grimard share another common tie, as both competed on the same card in Florida during the pandemic. Vasta has a 1-1 amateur record and trains at Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy in Wakefield, 馬薩諸塞州.

“Being able to make my professional debut against another rising New England fighter that I respect is exciting,” Vasta stated. “It’s time to take the next step in my career, put my skills to the test, and seize the opportunity. My style is really unorthodox and hard to prepare for. I plan to go out there and put on a dominant performance against another tough prospect of this division.”

“NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” takes place on Saturday, 二月 12, 2022, 在Aura在波特蘭, Maine. The event will commemorate NEF’s ten-year anniversary. 門開處 6 pm with first fight at 7 下午。門票現已公開發售在www.Ticketmaster.com.

MURRAY VS FAULKNER SET TO CLASH FOR WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

發表評論

即時發布: 波特蘭, 緬因 (十一月 23, 2021) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) returns with its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) 事件, “NEF 46: Decade of Dominance,” on Saturday, 二月 12, 2022, 在Aura在波特蘭, Maine. The event will commemorate NEF’s ten-year anniversary. The leading regional promotion launched on February 11, 2012. 今天早些時候，, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bout to the fight card. Former NEF Lightweight Contender“魔術師”邁克·默里(3-2) is scheduled to move up in weight to faceZach Faulkner (4-1) for the currently vacant NEF Welterweight Championship at a fight weight of 170 英鎊. The Championship was recently vacated when former title holder Mike Bezanson (5-0) publicly stated that he will be turning professional in his next bout.

Mike Murray has dazzled fans since he made his NEF debut in June 2019. After rattling off impressive back-to-back first-round rear-naked-choke submission victories in his first two fights, Murray faced off against Zac Richard (1-0) for the then vacant NEF Lightweight Championship. After a lively five-round fight, Murray lost a decision to Richard. Murray rebounded with a win in Florida. Murray recently retired from a successful service career in the US Marine Corps.

“I’m extremely grateful and excited to be back after two years outside of the cage, and to be given the opportunity to fight for the 170-pound title against an absolutely game opponent,” Murray stated. “I personally feel like we are each other’s best match up after seeing his striking and jiu jitsu in his last fight. I’ve been two years out of the cage, but not two years out of the fight. This past summer alone, I went undefeated in Muay Thai, and had 15 jiu jitsu matches, and placed increasingly higher in each tournament. My prediction for this fight is that it’ll be the most entertaining amateur fight on this card – if not this year. I’ve been putting in the work to be the most lethal version of myself, and I believe this is the best I’ve ever been coming into a fight. There’s no animosity going into this one, this is purely two dogs getting locked in a cage. I’m so thrilled to be a part of this incredibly special 10-year anniversary card. This will for sure be a night to remember.”

Zach Faulkner made his triumphant NEF debut in 2017 at “NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” and has remained perfect inside the NEF hexagon ever since. He most recently won a unanimous decision victory over Curtis Ouellette (1-3) last August at “NEF 44” in New Hampshire. He trains with Jon Deupree (1-0) at Recon Fitness in Westbrook, 緬因.

“I’m super excited to not only have the opportunity to fight for the NEF welterweight title, but also to be able to fight on such a big card against a tough, 遊戲對手,” Faulkner stated. “Winning would mean a lot to me because it would show that my fight journey is moving in the right direction and show that I’m ready to start to think about moving up to the next level.”

“NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” takes place on Saturday, 二月 12, 2022, 在Aura在波特蘭, Maine. The event will commemorate NEF’s ten-year anniversary. 門開處 6 pm with first fight at 7 下午。門票現已公開發售在www.Ticketmaster.com.

Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur middleweight fight to the card.查爾斯·卡爾頓(3-2) 見面會Josh Banks (0-0) 在戰鬥重量 185 英鎊.

查爾斯·卡爾頓, now representing Recon Fitness based in Westbrook, 緬因, was a standout athlete on the football field. He played for Windham High School in Windham, Maine and later coached the team to a state championship as an assistant in 2009. Charles went on to play for the Division 1 University of Maine Black Bears.

He made his MMA debut in the summer of 2017 at “NEF 30” with a blistering knockout of Josh Jones (2-4) 剛 23 seconds into the first round. Charles would follow up that performance with a 12 second knockout of Delmarkis Edwards in early 2018 at “NEF 32.”

The fight against Banks will mark Charles’ return to cage action after a 28-month absence.

I’m thankful to my coaches and his team for this opportunity. 照常, I am coming to put on a show and I know my opponent will be game. I wish him a healthy camp so we can both be at full strength for ourselves, families, and of course the fans!”

NEF TO DEBUT IN NEW HAMPSHIRE; WELTERWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ANNOUNCED

發表評論

即時發布: Milford, 新罕布什爾 (六月 7, 2021) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) announced today that the fight promotion will return with its next event, “NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 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: 亂鬧,” 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,“說NEF共同擁有和媒人馬特·彼得森. “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, 緬因.

“I’ve never felt more complete and confident in all aspects of living,“史密斯說. “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, 新罕布什爾.

“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!”

Tickets for “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, 八月 21, 2021, 與鐘時間 7 pm.

以同樣的方式，新的戰鬥機必須向上賺取的戰鬥海報的方式, 背風處, 誰說，他“涉獵”吉他, 聲音最興奮的總部位於英國的新樂隊與他們煽動得到共享階段.

“死亡拒付和殘忍前手, 如果你知道的那一幕什麼, 那些大牌,“李說. “這將是一個偉大的演出，不管我們是否有或沒有。”

在NEF六角轉為職業選手，沒有任何業餘背景是不是典型的旅程, 但李認為這是最明智的路徑試圖找到願意對手一個令人沮喪的一年後.

最有潛力的敵人, 他說, 他身高6英尺4幀受到恐嚇，什麼是當時的超過行走計重 300 英鎊. 重量級極限 265.

“我有五個不同的對手有三個不同的促銷活動, 連NEF, 取消對我. 我有打架指對手帶著打我, 變卦, 然後拿著同一張卡上一個重量級的鬥爭,“李說. “我不想指名道姓, 但在拉斯一個人’ 圈 (做過某事). 我只是厭倦了與人隱瞞我的職業生涯惱火。“

李說，他最終聯繫NEF共同所有者和媒人馬特·彼得森打聽他晉升內的親景觀.

希爾頓, 誰投下了一個類似的氣勢在陰影 6-6, 被關閉的兩負的順序來在他過去的三次出現, 包括淘汰賽損失克里斯Sarro - 另一種戰鬥機他的親亮相 - 去年九月.

“馬特把拉斯在那裡. 我看過的影片，並同我的教練和與它徑自,“李說. “他度過了兩個硬戰. 他似乎是一個尊重人. 我敢肯定，有些人在他的陣營認為我是個 (混蛋). 關於我在社交媒體世界上的事情是，我只釋放了我希望人們能看到. 人們可以談 (擲骰子) 所有他們想要的“。

在他的影片之一, 其中李有權, “是什麼讓一個專業一個專業?,“他打破了他所認為的誤解，認為一個業餘的職業生涯是成功的MMA的必需品.

“看看喬恩·瓊斯. 現在, 我不是說我是喬恩·瓊斯, 但他成為了世界冠軍，沒有任何 (武術) 在所有皮帶,“李說. “那麼是什麼? 難道他可以敲出來的傢伙? 我已經練習過了一群人在我的生命. 難道他的心? 我的心很不錯.

“你懂, 我只是厭倦了等待周圍其他人. 當我正準備打大約一年前, 我知道我是對的重量級別的頂部, 但它像人都被嚇. 我的意思是, 如果你不想成為一個重量級的，然後踏踏實實地 205 管他呢. 我有很多更輕，更好的形狀，現在. 人們可能會一直掉去年的戰鬥我更好。“

拳擊和柔道是李的工具包的主要技能, 儘管他把自己描述成一個貪婪的交叉訓練.

“我認為，在拳擊頗有幾分MMA世界睡覺,“李說. “泰拳似乎是事, 但泰拳球員得到他們的臉上打了很多. 但是我訓練予取予求. 我會做太極與某人的一個公園，如果它可以幫助我變得更好, 我不在乎“。

背風處, 29, 克林頓是基於聖騎士搏擊運動的出, 馬薩諸塞州, 他說，他將在戰鬥體育比賽疊起他的日程安排和強度等級對幾乎任何人他的大小.

“贏或輸, 我會在週一在健身房. 相比我已經從最UFC和Bellator可見權重股, 我工作了難度比大多數,“李說. “我曾是 316 英鎊不到一年前. 如果有人想檢查我在我的動機或奉獻, 告訴他們檢查規模 (在秤上稱體重) 2月7日“

之後, 球迷被邀請跟隨李某到街上格諾的聽他追求他的其他激情的夜晚，他做他的首演在NEF籠前.

發表評論

即時發布: 波特蘭, 緬因 (一月 19, 2020) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) 將舉行下一次混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “NEF 42: 毀滅交響曲,” 週六, 二月 8, 2020, 美林禮堂在波特蘭。今天早些時候, NEF宣布更改該卡的主要事件的一半。曼尼“的貝穆德斯三角”貝穆德斯(14-2) 現在將面臨布魯斯“漂亮男孩”Boyington(17-11) 空置NEF專業輕量級冠軍在晚上的標題鬥爭.

貝穆德斯臨危受命，取代他的隊友和訓練夥伴喬希·格里斯皮 (14-5) 誰原定滿足Boyington。 Grispi被迫低頭的重頭戲了，由於在回合的簽約時無法預見的法律糾紛。失去Grispi後僅僅小時, NEF高管通知貝穆德斯將接受Boyington戰鬥.

像Grispi, 貝穆德斯是終極格鬥冠軍賽的老將 (UFC) - 這項運動的頂峰。他放在一起的記錄 3-2 而之前在促進競爭被釋放今年10月。所有這三個貝穆德斯在UFC的勝利進來的提交方式。與Boyington的鬥爭將是貝穆德斯首款他獲釋.

“我很期待即將到來布魯斯的老巢，是表示這是我生長的地方電路,“貝穆德斯說.  “我有各級經驗，在體育和布魯斯確實太少, 因此這將是有趣的，看看對決如何展開搏擊之夜。“

布魯斯Boyington從來沒有一個從挑戰退縮。跆拳道黑帶和美國的海軍陸戰隊老兵取得了戰鬥的“最好中的最好”的職業生涯，無論是在NEF籠, 在麥迪遜廣場花園的戰鬥戰鬥的世界系列 (WSOF) 在國家電視台, 或橫跨半個世界在俄羅斯全球參加比賽。 Boyington, 基於在布魯爾泰坦田徑的成員, 緬因, 看起來捕捉輕量級錶帶二月第二次 8.

“有沒有簡單的戰鬥，這使得在相同的情況下 – 一個重頭戲值得任何卡,“Boyington說.  “兩高水準的戰鬥機 – 這是我喜歡的那種戰鬥。”

添加到戰鬥的高水準方面, 通過Boyington和貝穆德斯舉行了兩次條紋分別賺那麼多更耐人尋味的鬥爭。 Boyington從未失去了冠軍的爭奪。他是一個完美的 7-0 當總冠軍帶就行了。在相同的廣度, 貝穆德斯已經永遠失去了一個地區的鬥爭作為一個專業。他是一個完美的 11-0 在區域現場之前與UFC簽約。二月 8, 一個人的“0”將不得不去.

“我第一次見到曼尼·貝穆德斯11年前的一個週末隨機訪問，而他的家庭健身房, 南短Sportfighting,指出：“NEF共同擁有和媒人馬特·彼得森.  “他是一個年輕的, 在那是給地板上配合男人的兩倍和三倍他的年齡時瘦長的少年. 曼尼做出的健身房他的第二故鄉，其餘, 正如他們所說, 是歷史曼尼繼續有在UFC一個大放送. 當喬希·格里斯皮被迫拉他與布魯斯打出來, 布魯斯給我一個指令進行更換對手，'make確保它們是好,' 他說. 布魯斯總是要面對的最好的，這就是我們能夠把他在貝穆德斯. 這是一個重頭戲適合交響樂“。
