Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agost 25, 2017) Lluites -Nova Anglaterra (NEF) farà el seu esperat debut a PortlandDivendres, Novembre 3, 2017 a Aura amb “NEF 31: El Port Vell.” El dia d'avui, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Joan “Primera Classe” Rayo (2-8) es reunirà Zenon “K-Bar” Herrera (0-5) amb un pes capturat de 150 lliures.

For John Raio, the bout will mark his return to the cage after more than two years. Raio retired following his rematch with Bruce Boyington (13-11) al juny 2015. He has decided to make one more run at competing. Competition has been in Raio’s blood since his youth. He won a Maine state championship wrestling for Gardiner Area High School in 1995, and he went on to wrestle for Plymouth State University and the University of Southern Maine. While working for the United States Postal Service, Raio began competing in MMA in 2012. Since his retirement, Raio has concentrated on training fighters at his gym First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine. He has led several to championship gold in the NEF cage while working full-time at his current position with Bath Iron Works (BIW).

“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Said Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 vegades en tres anys. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”

Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. En 3 de novembre, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.

“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” dit Herrera. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”

proper esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de NEF, “NEF 31: El Port Vell,” veurà el debut de la companyia a Portland, Maine al nou, local d'última generació Aura. L'acte està previst que tingui lloc el dia Divendres, Novembre 3, 2017. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.auramaine.com.

HOMETOWN PRIDE IS ON THE LINE IN BANTAMWEIGHT BATTLE AT NEF 31

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Agost 24, 2017) Lluites -Nova Anglaterra (NEF) farà el seu esperat debut a PortlandDivendres, Novembre 3, 2017 a Aura amb “NEF 31: El Port Vell.” El dia d'avui, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bantamweight bout to the card. Henry Clark (3-3) està programat per enfrontar Carl Langston (6-9) amb un pes de baralla de 135 lliures-.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. Since his debut in the fall of 2014, Clark has been known for producing exciting moments in the NEF cage. In a memorable bout with Langston’s Young’s MMA teammate, and current NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion, Fred Lear (6-2), Clark held onto a triangle choke while Lear viciously slammed him not once but twice. He will look to break a two-fight losing streak with what Clark predicts to be a dominant performance against Langston in front of his hometown fans.

“Portland is my town,” declared Clark. “En 3 de novembre, I’m showing up to prove that. I’ve got a great opponent in Carl who always shows up to fight, but I’m planning on keeping it a dominant, one-sided affair. Truly my only desire is that of violence, my only intention is victory. Both will be achieved.”

Like Clark, Carl Langston calls Portland home. With a background in Taekwondo, Langston has thrilled NEF fans on numerous occasions with his prolific striking abilities. He knocked out Alex Johnson (2-3) with a series of violent kicks to the body in Langston’s last NEF appearance. Langston says this will be his last amateur fight before turning professional.

“This will be my last amateur fight and there isn’t any better way to go out fighting for NEF’s first card in my hometown in Portland,” stated Langston. “I’m super pumped to be part of this card! Pel que fa a la meva oponent, he’s a good guy and I have nothing bad to say about him, but come fight time, I’m going to walk through him. He won’t make it out of the second round. He has nothing to offer me.”

NEF ES TORNA A VENDER A BANGOR AMB ELS LLUITARS LOCALS BRILLEN A LA GÀBIA

Leave a comment

Bangor, Maine (Agost 6, 2017) –No hi havia lloc com casa Dissabte nit per a C.J. Aiguamans, Ryan Sanders i Fred Lear de Young's MMA a Bangor.

Lluitant davant d'una sala de ball exhaurida a un tir de pedra de la seva seu d'entrenament, els tres lluitadors al capdavant de la targeta a "NEF 30" Rumble in Bangor" van aconseguir victòries impressionants al Cross Insurance Center.

Ewer va derrotar Mike "The Bigoti" Hansen per presentació a 1:46 de la primera ronda per aconseguir el títol vacant de pes mitjà NEF pro. Lear va aconseguir el cinturó amateur de pes gallo de la NEF, mentre que Sanders va estrènyer el control de l'escena de pes lleuger professional de Nova Anglaterra en un triomf sense títol.

Va ser la segona esgotada consecutiva d'agost a Queen City, una tradició que va començar amb “NEF Presents Dana White: Mirant’ Per una lluita” l'estiu passat.

Després de la seva lluitada victòria sobre el molt viatjat Jay Ellis, Sanders, campió professional de pes lleuger de la NEF, No s'ha classificat. 1 a la regió, va mantenir els seus comentaris curts i dolços mentre cridava l'esmentat Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) president.

"L'any passat vas agafar l'home equivocat,", va dir Sanders. "Vine a buscar-me ara".

Sanders (15-8) no va tenir un camí fàcil contra Ellis, un veterà de més de 80 combats pro. Ellis va tenir Sanders sota control durant la major part de la lluita, però es va deixar vulnerable a l'asfixia del triangle 2:34 de la primera ronda.

Ewer va enviar a Hansen amb una maniobra igualment ràpida.

“És una gran sensació guanyar-lo davant el públic local,", va dir Ewer. “Per molt que hem treballat (en el camp d'entrenament), No pensava que res pogués aturar-me".

El final sobtat va fer malbé les esperances de Hansen de guanyar un títol per primera vegada en els seus 13 anys de carrera d'arts marcials mixtes..

"Aquest va ser, amb diferència, el millor camp d'entrenament que he tingut mai. Només ens estàvem escalfant,", va dir Hansen. "Vaig tenir molt més per donar, i estic segur que C.J. tenia molt més per donar. Però vaja, ho podríem tornar a fer".

Lear va destacar la part amateur de la targeta amb un nocaut autoritzat de la segona ronda de Walt Shea.

Només la campana va salvar a Shea de l'atac de Lear al final del capítol inicial. Lear va guanyar l'avantatge amb una puntada al cap a mitja ronda. Després de gairebé bloquejar una barra de braç que podria haver acabat la baralla, Lear va sagnar el Shea, que abans no havia guanyat, amb una sèrie de cops.

El final semblava inevitable quan Shea necessitava l'ajuda de Lear per trobar el seu racó entre rondes, i un altre atac interromput només va accelerar la meta 14 segons més tard.

Un emotiu Lear va elogiar el seu entrenador, Chris Young de Young's MMA, abans de subjectar el cinturó al voltant de la cintura del professor.

"Molta gent per aquí sap el seu nom, però no coneixen l'home,", va dir Lear. "És el primer noi al gimnàs al matí i l'últim que marxa a la nit. Ell és el motiu pel qual som tots aquí. Ell és el motiu pel qual tenim èxit. Ell és el motiu pel qual alguns de nosaltres no estem a la presó".

En les dues primeres baralles de Josh Jones’ carrera amateur de MMA, Jones va enviar als seus oponents per nocaut d'un cop en un total de 24 segon. Carlton Charles va necessitar un tic-tac menys del rellotge per treure Jones en la sorprenent conclusió d'un embolic d'antics atletes col·legiats estrella..

Charles, un producte del programa de futbol de la Universitat de Maine fent la seva caminada inicial a la gàbia de NEF, va donar la volta a Jones (2-1) en una ferralla de pes mitjà. Jones va tornar a buscar l'aturada primerenca amb un parell de tirs en bucle, però en Charles els va esquivar amb calma abans d'aterrar un dels seus i portar el tema a l'estora.

"M'encanta la competició,", va dir Charles. "No et peguen a la cara així al camp de futbol".

Quan els combatents van recuperar els peus, Charles va recolzar Jones contra la gàbia i va aterrar dues mans dretes a la mandíbula. Jones va caure a un genoll i va absorbir una forta esquerra al cap. Això va convèncer l'àrbitre d'intervenir i aturar la lluita, un veredicte que va deixar a Jones i al seu camp de MMA de primera classe visiblement desconcertats.

Era Charles’ segona victòria unilateral dels esports de combat en una setmana. Anteriorment, va lliurar un nocaut tècnic de primera ronda al ring de boxa amateur. Jones va patir la seva primera derrota des que va fer la transició del bàsquet, que va jugar professionalment a Europa després de protagonitzar la Universitat Husson de Bangor.

Una mirada a Divendres de pesatge oficial va suggerir que el combat entre Roger Ewer (251 lliura) i Dustin Freeman (220) podria ser el típic stand-up, assumpte de pes pesats slug-it-out. En lloc, es va convertir en un aparador de terra i lliura que estava just a la timonera d'Ewer. germà gran de C.J, debutant a l'hexàgon NEF a 44 anys d'edat, va aconseguir l'avantatge durant tot i va obtenir un nocaut tècnic mitjançant cops sense resposta a 2:31 de la segona estrofa.

Nate Boucher ha millorat 2-0 amb una parada de primera ronda de Jeremiah Barkac, que estava fent el seu debut a la gàbia. Barkac va obtenir un avantatge primerenc en el combat de pes gallo amb una pluja de cops, però Boucher va guanyar intel·ligència amb les cames i es va tancar en un triangle.

Guanyi o perdi, Angela Young de Bangor va anunciar que la seva batalla amb Jessica "The Black Widow" Borga seria la lluita final de la seva carrera.. Pagar (6-3) va esborrar qualsevol esperança d'un final de Hollywood amb un nocaut tècnic decisiu a 2:16 de la primera ronda. Jove (2-3), dona de Chris, Mai no havia recorregut menys de la distància en cap de les seves victòries o derrotes anteriors.

En un debut mutu de NEF i MMA, Zach Faulkner va delectar el seu públic local amb una victòria a la segona ronda sobre David Hart mitjançant un estrangulament nu posterior.. El final va arribar a 1:42.

Jesse Hutchinson també va gaudir d'un debut triomfal a les files amateurs. Va aturar Anthony LaPointe a 2:43 de la primera ronda en una escaramuza de pes welter.

NEF també va anunciar que el proper esdeveniment d'arts marcials mixtes de la promoció, “NEF 31: El Port Vell,” veurà la companyia fer el seu esperat debut a Portland, Maine al nou, local d'última generació Aura. L'acte està previst que tingui lloc el dia Divendres, Novembre 3, 2017. Les entrades es posaran a la venda aquest dimecres, Agost 9 a www.auramaine.com.

TARGETA DE LLUITA DE RUMBLE IN BANGOR OMPLITA DE FAVORITS DELS FANS DE MAINE

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Juliol 21, 2017) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna al Cross Insurance Center en dissabte nit, Agost 5, 2017 amb el següent esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de la promoció lluita, “NEF 30: Rumble a Bangor.” El dia d'avui, NEF va anunciar la targeta de lluita completa per a l'esdeveniment.

En l'esdeveniment principal de la nit, propi de Bangor CJ Ewer (2-0) es reunirà Mike Hansen (5-5) de Rumford, Maine en un concurs de cinc rondes per coronar un nou campió de pes mitjà NEF MMA Pro. Ewer és membre del gimnàs local Young's MMA, mentre que Hansen representa Berserkers MMA amb seu a la regió de River Valley de l'estat.. Ewer va tenir un nocaut destacat sobre Ruben Redman (0-1) en el seu darrer combat al Cross – exactament un any al dia que coneixerà Hansen.

L'acte principal de la nit veurà el company d'Ewer's Young, perspectiva invicta de Bangor Aaron Lacey (4-0) enfrontar-se al veterà Bellator Bryan Goldsby (17-16). Goldsby representarà el repte més experimentat de Lacey fins ara. Lacey ha estat gens menys “Implacable” – el seu sobrenom – ja que es va convertir en professional. Ha presentat tres dels seus quatre oponents a la primera volta. Només John Santos (3-5) va poder sobreviure a tres rondes completes amb Lacey l'estiu passat a Bangor. Lacey va guanyar aquesta lluita per decisió dividida en un accident, d'anada i tornada, “lluita de la nit” rendiment.

Arrodonir la targeta professional serà la pedra angular d'un altre Young, “La” Ryan Sanders (14-8), que coneixerà Milwaukee, Veteran de Wisconsin Jay Ellis (14-68) en un concurs de pes welter. Sanders és el vigent campió de pes lleuger NEF MMA Pro, havent derrotat a Jon Lemke (6-8) en una final de torneig l'abril passat per reclamar el títol. El combat amb Ellis serà un assumpte sense títol. Sanders està en una ratxa de quatre victòries consecutives que va començar fa un any fins al dia al Cross.

L'encapçalament de la part amateur de la carta de lluita serà una lluita pel títol amateur de pes gallo NEF MMA. Fred Lear (5-2) de Bangor lluitarà amb Jefferson, Maine de Walt Shea (2-0) pel campionat vacant de 135 lliures. Lear i Shea continuaran una rivalitat competitiva que s'ha desenvolupat a les files d'aficionats en els darrers anys entre el camp de Lear Young's MMA i l'equip de First Class MMA de Shea amb seu a Brunswick., Maine.

L'obertura de la nit serà una lluita entre dones Angela Young (2-2), dona del fundador i entrenador en cap de Young MMA, Chris Young, i la de Florida Jessica “La Viuda Negra” Pagar (5-2). S'espera que la ferralla sigui emocionant. Jove, una infermera registrada a Eastern Maine Medical Center (EMMC), ha posat diversos “lluita de la nit” actuacions que han provocat un frenesí al públic. Borga farà el seu tercer viatge a Maine l'any passat per competir a la gàbia NEF.

BELLATOR VET REPRESENTS BIG TEST FOR LACEY AT RUMBLE IN BANGOR

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Juny 23, 2017) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna al Cross Insurance Center en dissabte nit, Agost 5, 2017 amb el següent esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de la promoció lluita, “NEF 30: Rumble a Bangor.” El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the fight card. Aaron “Implacable” Lacey (4-0) s'enfrontarà a Bryan Goldsby (18-15) amb un pes de baralla de 145 lliures-.

Goldsby will be the most experienced fighter Bangor-area prospect Aaron Lacey has ever faced in the cage. He has four Bellator bouts under his belt and has faced national stars such as Will Campuzano (14-6) and Jeff Curran (36-17-1). Goldsby made his NEF debut earlier this month, not in the MMA cage but in the boxing ring. La 5 d'agost bout will represent his return to the cage after more than a three year absence.

Lacey put on a “lluita de la nit” performance last year in Bangor in a brutal back-and-forth war against John Santos (3-5). It was the only fight of Lacey’s pro career thus far to make it to the judges’ quadres de comandament. He has finished all three of his other opponents via first-round submission. The fight with Goldsby will be Lacey’s first since last November.

“Fighting in Bangor last year was a dream come true, but it also showed me I have a lot to work on,” said Lacey. “I have been nonstop since then and have made giant improvements. Goldsby is a seasoned opponent who has fought at some of the highest levels the sport has to offer. This will be a big test for me and I’m looking forward to showing everyone just how dangerous I can be!”

"NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” se celebrarà al Cross Insurance Center de Bangor, Maine dissabte, Agost 5, 2017. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

ELS VETERANS MILITARS COMPTARRAN EL TÍTOL PRO MMA A BANGOR

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Juny 20, 2017) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna al Cross Insurance Center en dissabte nit, Agost 5, 2017 amb el següent esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de la promoció lluita, “NEF 30: Rumble a Bangor.” El dia d'avui, NEF va anunciar l'addició d'un campionat professional de pes mitjà a la carta de lluita. CJ Ewer (2-0) s'enfrontarà a Micro “El Bigoti” Hansen (5-5) per al campionat vacant de NEF MMA Pro de 185 lliures.

CJ Ewer és membre de les forces de seguretat de la Força Aèria dels Estats Units. Quan no es defensa la nació a l'estranger, Ewer entrena a Young's MMA a Bangor. És un lluitador consumat, amb dos campionats de secundària estatals de Maine i un campionat del districte de Nova Anglaterra al seu crèdit. Ewer va lluitar sota el llegendari entrenador Ted Reese mentre assistia a la Universitat del Sud de Maine (USM). En unir-se al circuit de MMA, va reunir a 5-2 gravar com a amateur abans de convertir-se en professional. L'última baralla d'Ewer va ser fa un any a Bangor “NEF PresentaDana White: Mirant’ per una lluita.” Va deixar caure Ruben Redman (0-1) amb un nocaut de rodet destacat que va portar a White i als seus companys de sèrie web a posar-se dempeus al costat del ring.

“Mike és un oponent dur com les ungles, i tinc ganes de posar-me a prova contra ell,” va dir Ewer de la propera lluita pel títol amb Hansen. “Al final de la lluita, guanyarà el lluitador més preparat. Mike no em treballarà en la preparació, ni té companys d'entrenament que tinc jo. Espero tornar el cinturó de 185 lliures a Young's MMA 5 d'agost.”

Mike Hansen, com CJ Ewer, va servir amb orgull el seu país. Hansen va ser enginyer de combat a l'exèrcit dels Estats Units abans de retirar-se del servei. També com Ewer, Hansen prové de la lluita lliure amb un títol estatal de Maine obtingut durant el seu temps amb Mountain Valley High School a Rumford, Maine. Membre fundador de l'equip Berserkers MMA, Hansen té la reputació d'afrontar tots els participants. Mai no ha fet marxa enrere davant un repte, de vegades lluitant contra gegants de dues classes de pes més grans que ell.

“Fa anys que treballo per aquest moment,” va dir Hansen. “Vaig entrar a l'escena de les MMA de Maine fa poc més de dos anys i he estat lluitant contra els millors lluitadors i els nois dels quals fugen tots els altres per demostrar que puc lluitar.. CJ Ewer és un gran competidor procedent del millor camp de l'estat a Young's MMA. No tinc res més que respecte per ells allà dalt, i sé que vindrà preparat per lluitar. Amb això es diu, Estaré preparat per a la guerra, i torno a casa amb l'or aquella nit. Només és un home més tancat a la gàbia amb mi, i qualsevol que hagi tingut aquesta gàbia tancada darrere d'ells davant meu sap que no sóc una victòria fàcil.”

"NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” se celebrarà al Cross Insurance Center de Bangor, Maine dissabte, Agost 5, 2017. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com.

AMATEUR TITLE FIGHT PROMISES TO BE AN ALL-OUT WAR

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Maig 3, 2017) Lluites -Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna a l'Androscoggin Bank Colisee Dissabte, Juny 17, 2017 amb el proper esdeveniment de la promoció de la lluita, “NEF 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) i combats de boxa professional. The amateur portion of the card will be headlined by a lightweight title fight that will see Rafael “Deez Nuts” Velat (4-0) defend against Pat Kelly (3-0).

 

A Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt, Velado made his NEF debut in the fall of 2015. He submitted Kelly’s Young’s MMA teammate Jimmy Jackson (3-3) a “NEF 25” to claim the amateur lightweight title. Fins a la data, only Mike Peitersen (3-1), another member of Young’s, has gone the distance with Velado who has established himself as a master of arm bars and Kimuras. Velado is a member of First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

 

“Here we go again,” exclaimed Velado. “We’ve got a friendly rivalry going between First Class MMA and Young’s MMA. They throw a badass at me and I answer the call. PK (Pat Kelly) is a legend of sorts. If you wrestle in Maine and you don’t know who he is, you’re out of touch. I think PK a different kind of challenge for me than my previous four fights. I’ve shown that I can get the fight to the ground and that I’m dangerous when I get there, but that’s a wildcard with Pat. This fight is very exciting to me because we are both undefeated and the winner is going to have to prove that they are ready for the next level by bringing a well-rounded game. I have no doubt as to whether PK is capable of taking me down. La pregunta és; will he regret his decision to take me there? We will see on 17 de juny.”

 

Pat Kelly is, as Velado noted, a legend in the Maine wrestling world. He put together an impressive 116-20 career record at the University of Maine, captured a New England title and wrestled in the NCAA Championships in 1986. The 52-year-old is no stranger to the championship circle as a coach either, having led the Camden Hills team to several state titles over the years, earning himself an induction into the Maine Amateur Wrestling Alliance Hall of Fame in the process. Kelly famously coached current UFC star Tim Boetsch (20-11) to four state wrestling titles during Boetsch’s time at Camden Hills.

 

As a member of Young’s MMA, Kelly made his MMA debut at “NEF 14.” Known for his intense in-cage performances, Kelly has finished all three of his opponents. A knee injury has forced him to the sidelines since his last victory in the summer of 2015.

 

“Primer, my sincere thanks to NEF for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and to Coach Chris Young and Ernie Fitch along with all my teammates at Young’s MMA,” said Kelly. “I am so pumped-up to get back into the NEF cage. I am now fully recovered from a serious knee injury and am felling better than ever. This fight makes perfect sense in that you have two undefeated fighters that are willing to wage war for the belt.

 

“I am honored to share the cage with a fighter of Raf’s caliber,” Kelly continued. “I respect the fact he is currently the undefeated champ. To fight him means that my time has come to offer him a challenge worthy of title contention. I have been training for an opportunity like this for the past four years. I will bring to the cage a sense of unpredictability and true grit. En essència, Raf will do what he has to do and I will do what I have to do. Passi el que passi, happens.”

SANDERS ON LEMKE REMATCH: “I’M GOING TO STEAL HIS SOUL AND I’M GOING TO BREAK HIS WILL”

Leave a comment

 

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 27, 2017) – Mai un a fer marxa enrere davant un desafiament, or an opportunity to call out the competition, “The” Ryan Sanders is irked by the tone of the scuttlebutt since his first fight with Jon Lemke last November.

Sí, the skirmish stopped during the third round, due to a deep cut on Lemke’s head. But with Sanders leading comfortably, 20-18, en les tres targetes, he was declared the winner.

It all fell in line with the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts, and it surely reflected Sanders’ conviction that he was well in command of the bout and on his way to victory, regardless. Since that night, la Dissabte before Thanksgiving, però, Sanders, 29, says that Lemke and others in his camp have been a tad too outspoken about their belief that it was somehow a tainted victory.

In a recent interview with Jason Floyd on “The MMA Report Podcast,” Sanders held nothing back when queried about his motivation to dole out another beating when the former training partners meet this Saturday, Abril 29 in a rematch at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

Aquesta vegada, it’s the tournament final for the vacant lightweight title at “NEF 28: Invincible.”

“I was a little upset afterwards that (Lemke) said he thought it should have been a no-contest,", va dir Sanders. “What Jon won’t talk about or say is that right before I got that takedown, he quit. He quit in my arms.”

Sanders (13-8) clarified that comment, adding that while Lemke (6-7) didn’t say the word explicitly, his vast experience in the cage underscored his belief that the end was nigh.

“A fighter knows when someone is about to give up, and Jon was about to give up,"Ell va dir. “He wasn’t fighting that takedown in my arms. He was just dead weight in my arms, so it’s a bit frustrating that he would say that.”

It didn’t take long for the stars to align and serve up the second helping that both fighters’ fan bases crave. With a shot at the strap in the offing, both men made short work of their 155-pound tournament semifinal opponents in February.

Sanders landed a vicious kick to the jaw of John Ortolani that ended their confrontation in a mere 15 segon. Lemke was just as impressive, needing only a minute longer to dispatch Jesse “the Viking” Erickson.

Typically it’s the defeated fighter in this scenario who covets the chance at vindication, but Sanders sounds like the one with an axe to grind after hearing some of the public perception about his previous win.

“I’m happy that we get a rematch and to be able to show everyone that the first time it wasn’t a fluke and to have my hand raised again,” Sanders, que és 6-1 in his past seven fights, dit. “I’m unstoppable right now. I’m surrounded with the best people. I’ve got great teammates, great coaches and an amazing wife … Any guy who fights me, they are (screwed)."

Asked if he is bent on earning a submission to achieve a measure of unfinished business, Sanders quickly declared that any form of victory will suffice.

“Not necessarily to get a stoppage victory, but I’m going to show him. It will be five months since we fought, and I’ve been in the gym every day, and I’m going to show him that he’s not on my level,", va dir Sanders. “Eventually the victory will come whether it’s a submission, a TKO, a knockout. Jon does have a lot of heart, but I’m going to be stealing it from him. I’m going to steal his soul and I’m going to break his will.

“I’m a grappler, so I do prefer a nice submission victory,” he continued. “But whatever he gives me I’ll take, and I’m going to go in there and take it. I’m going to take that belt home. That is my belt, and I’ve worked too hard to let anyone else take it from me.”

The rivalry between Sanders and Lemke is a natural one. They were former stablemates at Team Irish before Sanders switched to rival Young’s MMA.

Sanders said he didn’t earn enough takedowns for his liking in the previous encounter, but he believes the scorecards were an accurate reflection of how he dominated the fight.

“I knew he was a tough dude. He could take a punch. He could take a kick,", va dir Sanders. “I feel like I was getting the best of it.”

A second bout with Lemke fits Sanders’ profile as a fighter willing to take on anyone, on sigui, a qualsevol hora.

Sanders, who has been matched in his career with the likes of Marcus Davis, Gil de Freitas, Levan Makashvili, Luis Felix and Derrick Kennington, has won his last five in a row on Maine soil.

He dropped back-to-back decisions to de Freitas in his two previous bids for an NEF title and naturally predicts that he won’t let the third chance at gold slip away.

“I know with the training I’m putting in that I’m destined for greatness,", va dir Sanders. “My work has shown that, and my future fights will show that. I know I’m there to fight the best. Look at the guys I’ve fought. They’re UFC or Bellator vets, or they’re top-five fighters in the region.

"(The fans are) going to witness a great fight, a great performance by Ryan Sanders,” he concluded. “They may say, ‘This guy’s being (a jerk). He’s real cocky.’ It’s not that I’m cocky. I’m fully confident in my training and in my training partners and in my coaches and in myself that I am ready to fight anybody in the region and beat anybody in the region.”

LEMKE ON LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE SHOT: “I JUST THINK ABOUT GETTING THAT BELT AND DEFENDING THAT BELT”

Leave a comment

 

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 27, 2017) – Not everybody in life gets blessed with a shot at redemption. Jonathan Lemke will bask in that opportunity on multiple fronts when he battles “The” Ryan Sanders for the vacant NEF lightweight title this Dissabte, Abril 29 at Androscoggin Bank Colisee as part of “NEF 28: Invincible.”

It’s the second shot at the NEF strap for Lemke, who lost a split decision to Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington in February 2016 at “NEF 21: THE IMMORTALS.” Lemke also looks forward to the rematch with Sanders after their fight in November was abbreviated due to a gash on Lemke’s head.

“Definitely after the way the last one ended, I still feel like I have a little unfinished business, a little chip on my shoulder,” Lemke said recently in an interview on “The Maine Event” podcast with Ryan Jarrell and Bryan Stackpole. “I definitely want to go out there and take care of business this time.”

Sanders (13-8) won a unanimous decision when the verdict went to the scorecards by virtue of the Unified Rules of Mixed Martial Arts.

Like his opponent and former stablemate, Lemke (6-7) has carved out a reputation as a fighter who will take on all comers. The first bout with Sanders extended his winless streak to four fights, but the quality of opposition – Devin Powell, Josh LaBerge and Boyington preceded Sanders – are good for more than an asterisk.

He snapped that run in short order with a first-round TKO of Jesse “The Viking” Erickson in February’s tournament semifinals.

"Estic molt emocionat, very grateful,", va dir Lemke. “This is the culmination of a lot of years, a lot of hard work, to be at this point again and see some of that pay off.”

Lemke doesn’t believe that he needs the title to validate his years under the NEF umbrella. On the flip side, però, it is a line on the personal checklist on which he is hungry to leave his mark.

“Voldria dir molt,” he acknowledged. “It wouldn’t define me either way, but at the same time certainly one of the goals I set out to achieve when I first started this sport was to take care of business on the regional end and to be a regional champion.”

Previous champions Powell, Boyington and Dez Green made the lightweight belt NEF’s most coveted honor by using it as a springboard to opportunities on a national scale.

Lemke, who has enjoyed the spotlight as part of both a Bellator card and Dana White’s “Lookin’ for a Fight” UFC audition, denied that he is looking ahead to greener pastures.

“I haven’t given it a lot of thought about where it would take me,"Ell va dir. “I just think about getting that belt and defending that belt. It’s always one fight at a time.”

Between their days training together with Team Irish (Sanders now fights out of Young’s MMA) and their previous fight, Lemke and Sanders know one another as well as any NEF title fight opponents in history.

While Lemke allows for the possibility that both men will dip into their bag of tricks, he said fans shouldn’t expect too many surprises.

“I think stylistically it will be a little bit different. Game plan wise it will be a little bit different. At the start you might see some different wrinkles from both,” Lemke said “But at the end of the day we are both familiar with each other, so it will be a similar type fight.”

He also sees the confrontation living up to every ounce of its billing.

“One of the statements from the first card was that I believe this fight could headline any card, any regional or national promotion, and I still believe that,", va dir Lemke. “It’s a fight the fans want to see.”

And it’s a fight he naturally believes he will win the second time around.

“I’m healthy as can be. Had a good, tough camp, and I’m looking forward to getting out there and performing my business,", va dir Lemke. “I believe in my overall skill set and believe that overall skill set will lead to the victory.”

Austin’s opponent, James Ploss, trains with Greg Williams at the well-known Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire.

Eddie DeRoche wrestled alongside Austin for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. During his time there, DeRoche was a two-time state finalist. He made his NEF debut in June 2016 at “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” in a losing effort against Skyler Bang.

“I want to show NEF fans that I’m worthy of a rematch and title shot at Velado and that strap,” stated Dunn when reached for comment. “Eddie Deroche is a worthy adversary.
