NO APRIL FOOLIN’: BOYINGTON VACATES TITLE, ERICKSON FIGHTS POWELL FOR THE STRAP

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Lewiston, Maine (Abril 1, 2016) – The earth-shattering announcement came late last night. Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) Arts Marcials Mixtes (MMA) Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (13-8) took to Facebook to notify his fans that he had vacated the title belt. Some speculated that it could be an April Fools’ broma, but those rumors were later quelled when Boyington himself stated under the thread that his decision had been made for personal and medical reasons, citing recent surgeries and a host of longstanding injuries.

 

“After one of the most inspirational and exhilarating rides of my life, I have talked with my wife, my coaching staff and teammates and have decided it’s now time to let go of one chapter and turn the page for another,” Boyington stated when reached for official comment. “NEF has been there for me since the start and I couldn’t ask for a better group to get me where I want to go. I like the thought of vacating the belt on top and handing it off to one of my teammates, hopefully Josh Harvey (0-0) and I will be excited to watch a couple other lightweight warriors going after the strap. Obviously Jon Lemke has quite a claim to that shot and I see my friend Jesse Erickson in the mix as well. Whatever should happen, I will always cherish every battle I’ve had in the NEF cage. Thank you sincerely to Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo.”

 

NEF executives acted quickly and formulated a plan by mitjanit to fill the title that sits atop the fight promotion’s most hotly contested professional division. As a new day dawned, that plan had come to fruition.

 

“Bruce was a great champion,” dit NEF co-propietari i promotor Nick DiSalvo. “He was the face of this promotion for two years. The 155-pound title is our most coveted championship and there is no shortage of worthy challengers. The decision to fill it as soon as possible was an easy one to make.”

 

Jesse “El Víking” Erickson (6-4) i Devin Powell (5-1) will now meet in a five-round contest at “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” to crown a new champion. The bout was already signed as a non-title three-rounder to headline the MMA portion of the April 23rd fight card in Lewiston, Maine. Both athletes quickly agreed to go five rounds with the title on the line. Both athletes have each won their last three fights in a row respectively.

 

“I am honored to be able to fight for the title which I saw Bruce Boyington recently defend against Jon Lemke (5-4) in the best local fight I’ve ever gotten to see,” said Powell. “I hope Jesse and I can put on a show for the fans that can be talked about for years to come. I’ve been training too hard and too long to not hop on this opportunity. I can’t wait to get in that cage April 23rdin front of an always amped up NEF crowd!”

 

Speaking of Lemke, NEF executives placed one condition on the upcoming Erickson-Powell bout – the winner must make his first defense of the lightweight title against Lemke. Lemke lost a very close split decision in an attempt to claim the title from Boyington earlier this year. That fight has been called “the greatest fight to ever take place in the NEF MMA cage” by many observers.

 

“Jon Lemke more-than deserves another crack at the strap,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “His bout with Bruce at ‘NEF 21’ was nothing short of epic. I was completely spellbound watching that fight for the full 25-minutes it was contested. It’s a bittersweet time at NEF. Bruce was a great fighting champion and despite the high stakes every time he stepped into the cage, he was always one of the most active competitors on the NEF roster. Bruce’s warrior spirit and memorable performances in the NEF cage will be dearly missed, but we are fortunate to have so many superb athletes waiting in the wings right behind him to fill that void. There will be no shortage of upcoming action in the NEF lightweight division.”

 

“It was a privilege and honor to fight Bruce for the lightweight title,” stated Lemke when reached for comment. “After the fight, I was pretty confident I did enough to win. Ara, after watching the fight numerous times, there is no doubt in my mind that I won that fight. If Bruce doesn’t want to fight me again and vacate his belt, I understand and respect that decision. No obstant això, I am hungrier than ever and want what I believe is rightfully mine. It would be an honor to fight the winner of Erickson versus Powell for the title and I very much look forward to it.”

 

La April 23rd bout will be Jesse Erickson’s third attempt to capture the lightweight title. He had competed against Boyington twice previously unsuccessfully for the championship.

 

“I’m so grateful for the opportunity to compete once again for the NEF lightweight title,” stated Erickson. “I was embarrassed postponing my first fight with Devin due to injury, but it seems everything happens for a reason. To bleed for gold and glory. My Viking ancestors would be proud. Give me the battle I crave, Devin. Victory or Valhalla!”

HEAVYWEIGHT CLASH ADDED TO NEF 22 TARGETA DE LLUITA

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Març 10, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, celebrarà el seu proper esdeveniment, “NEF 22: TOTS ELS CAMINS CONDUEIXEN AQUÍ” a Dissabte, Abril 23, 2016 al Androscoggin Banc Coliseu a Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” cartellera. Nick Gulliver (2-0) es reunirà David Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – 1 brasiler Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) en la primera ronda. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (QUI) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, David Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Així, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) a “NEF 21” mes passat.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

Leave a comment

Hyannis, Massachusetts (Març 4, 2016) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, announced today that it will bring Cape Cod its first-ever mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event this spring. L'esdeveniment, intitulat “NEF 23: NEF CAGES THE CAPE,” will take place on Maig 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center (HYCC) in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Both professional and amateur MMA bouts will be presented that evening.

 

Fins a la data, NEF has held twenty-two events, a mix of MMA and boxing shows, in the state of Maine. The promotion was formed in 2012 by business partners Nick DiSalvo and Matt Peterson. NEF has a reputation of putting on action-packed events in venues filled with thousands of rabid fight fans. The promotion has a large, dedicated fan base unmatched by any of its competitors on the regional level. Durant els anys, NEF’s cage has played host to UFC veterans such as Marcus Davis (22-11) and two-time UFC World Heavyweight Champion Tim Sylvia (31-10), entre d'altres. NEF co-promoted a nationally-televised event with Bellator in the spring of 2013. Its fight highlights have been featured prominently on AXS TV, TUFF TV and the “World’s Greatest Knockouts” en Spike TV.

 

“The NEF brand is expanding,” noted DiSalvo. “Cape Cod is hungry for an MMA event. I’m surprised it’s taken this long to happen with so many great teams located in the area. NEF is honored to be the first to present an MMA show on the Cape.”

 

One MMA team whose fighters will be featured prominently on the Maig 14 card will be Hyannis-based Team Juniko.

 

“This show will be the first MMA show on Cape Cod in Team Juniko’s backyard,” remarked Team Juniko coach Mike Gresh. “Congrats NEF!”

 

Gresh is a longtime, respected leader in the New England MMA community. Two of his team’s members have been confirmed as making their professional debuts on Maig 14 – Erin “Mida de la diversió” Lamonte and Brendan “Lockdown” Battles.

 

Scituate’s Erin Lamonte put together a perfect 6-0 record as an amateur competitor. She is coming off back-to-back submission victories in Lewiston, Maine.

 

“I cannot wait for NEF to come to the Cape,” exclaimed Lamonte. “All but one of my fights have been out of state, so I am so excited to fight in front of all my family and friends in my own backyard! No t'ho perdis. May 14th ‘Fun Size’ goes pro and makes her presence known in the women’s straweight division!”

 

Brendan Battles is a native of nearby Eastham, Massachusetts where he was a three-time All-American wrestler for Nauset Regional High School. Battles won two state championships and three New England regional championships while amassing a total of 161 wins over the course of his high school wrestling career. Després, Battles played defensive end and tackle for the University of Connecticut.

 

“It’s an honor to fight down the street from my hometown and the gym where I train,” said Battles. “It gives me the chills to fight my very first professional fight on my home turf, with my family, amics, and all who supports me to see the work I’ve put in and the fighter I have evolved into at this point of my career.”

 

"NEF 23: NEF CAGES THE CAPE," té lloc Dissabte, Maig 14, 2016 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Tickets for “NEF 23” are $40 per a l'admissió general i $60 for cageside. They are on sale now at www.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/ .

NEF CONTRACTA LONGTIME bellator EXECUTIU COM A DIRECTOR DE DESENVOLUPAMENT EMPRESARIAL NACIONAL

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Març 30, 2015) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF), Número u de la promoció de lluita regional d'Amèrica, ha anunciat avui la contractació de l'ex executiu de Bellator Sam Caplan as the company’s new Director of National Business Development. Caplan has signed a contract to work exclusively with the promotion in the New England states through his consulting company Combat Sports Media (CSM). The new position within the organization was created specifically for Caplan.

 

“Addició d'un tercer executiu a aquesta barreja era essencial,” dit promotor NEF Nick DiSalvo qui co-propietari de la promoció baralla amb casamentera Matt Peterson. “As we’ve grown and the TV deals have been offered and we get more and more calls from big name fighters looking to fight for us, it’s become a lot for the two of us to handle along with the regular day-to-day operation of this business. Sam has been at the national level for a long time. He’s probably one of the top-five most experienced people in this country working at the highest stage of MMA event promotion. He is a major asset to our company. We are extremely fortunate to have him with us.”

 

Caplan va ser el vicepresident de relacions amb el talent per Bellator des 2009 fins 2014. Prior to that time, havia treballat per M-1 Global promoció de Fedor Amelianenko, Titan Fighting Championships, and also worked in television for CBS and Showtime developing the first broadcasts of EliteXC and Strikeforce.

He currently hosts El Insiders Podcast MMA juntament amb Jason Floyd.

 

“Combat Sports Media està molt entusiasmat amb l'addició de Nova Anglaterra Fights a la seva llista de clients,” dir Caplan. “He vist les operacions de NEF de dins cap a fora i estic completament impressionat. Creating a regional fight promotion that can sustain itself is no small fete in today’s MMA landscape. In a short time, Matt i Nick han fet un treball increïble creixement NEF a un punt en què posa constantment els fans més de 3.000 en els seients per als seus esdeveniments. I also believe that NEF hasn’t even yet scratched the surface with regard to its growth and CSM looks forward to playing a role in the promotion’s evolution.”

 

This will not be the first time Caplan has worked with NEF. Caplan worked on a co-promotion NEF undertook with Bellator in March 2013.

 

“Treballar amb Sam sempre és un plaer,” stated Peterson. “He conegut a Sam des de fa anys, since he created 5OuncesofPain.com. There is no one more respected at the national level in MMA. Sam’s presence is going to be a game changer for both the promotion and the athletes that compete for NEF.”

Boyington I HARRISON D'ABRIL 11: ALIMENTACIÓ ÉS LLEGENDA

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Febrer 10, 2015) - La nit era juny 16, 2012. Over 3,000 fans havien omplert el Androscoggin Banc Colisee per baralles de Nova Anglaterra’ (NEF) “NEF III” mixta d'arts marcials (MMA) esdeveniment. In the main event of the evening was former two-time Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) Campió pes pesat de la Tim Mundial “El Maine-iac” Sylvia (31-10). Sylvia was competing for the first time ever in his home state of Maine. Media outlets, tant locals com nacionals, descended on Lewiston that night for the big event. National cable station HDNet (ara “TV AXS”) enviar un equip de filmació completa i productor per cobrir la part pro de la targeta de la lluita pel seu programa setmanal Inside MMA.

 

12-segon nocaut de Sylvia de Randy Smith (13-15-1), però, was not the story that night. The real story coming out of the event was the emergence of not one, però dos, new stars before a national audience. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-7), ia la celebració de la primera eliminatòria de la història de Maine MMA, added to his legend with a Taekwondo spinning-hook kick that left his opponent unconscious and earned Boyington the quickest knockout in NEF at the time at 10-seconds. Moments després, Jamie Harrison (5-1) acabat el seu oponent amb una tècnica poc ortodoxa-ground and pound anomenat “La llagosta del sacador” per Inside MMA co-amfitrió Bas Rutten (28-4-1). Both finishes were caught on camera by AXS TV, and both were seen by fight fans the world over on television and the internet. The road to Abril 11, 2015, “NEF XVII,” i un enfrontament entre Boyington i Harrison, havia estat aplanat.

 

En els mesos i anys per venir, Boyington would become the face of NEF MMA. Leaving a trail of broken opponents in his wake, Boyington passaria a capturar el vacant Campionat NEF MMA Lleugera al setembre 2014 derrotant a Jesse “El Víking” Erickson (3-4). Weeks later, Boyington and Erickson would rematch with Boyington once again emerging victorious. Harrison had, si mateix, tallar a través de Tollison Lewis (0-3) amb temerari abandonament moments abans, leading many to speculate that the time for the Boyington-Harrison showdown had finally arrived. In the hours that followed, ambdues parts havien convingut en la lluita i l'escenari estava llest per a l'abril 11, 2015 a Lewiston en “XVII NEF.” Both athletes squared off in the cage last Saturday at “NEF XVI” per anunciar oficialment la baralla que serà un cinc rounds de campionat de pes lleuger de Boyington.

 

“Em sento al cim del món,” dit Boyington quan contactat per fer comentaris. “La ruptura ha complert el seu propòsit i encara sento que tenen fortaleses com un joc de MMA bé arrodonit, baralles més professionals, més experiència amb els principals oponents de nivell i el confort en aquesta sorra – Jo sé que tot és irrellevant perquè l'alt que estic en aquest moment en aquest moment i l'afany d'aconseguir en la gàbia i divertir , juntament amb una convicció estricte amb mi mateix NOT a perdre i per entretenir el públic em fa més confiat que mai per fer la feina. I respect Jamie very much. Ell és fort i presenta reptes i he tingut els meus ulls en ell durant molt de temps, studying him and knowing we would cross paths eventually. Lucky for me, Sóc un infern d'un lluitador. I see what’s coming. Fans, this fight is unlike anything else you will ever see. Make sure you’re in attendance to witness what I’m about to do. I have no problem proving the critics wrong. Just be there and don’t blink. This is a big stage fight, T'ho demostraré.”

 

“Estic molt emocionat de tornar a la gàbia NEF per aquesta gran oportunitat,” comentar Harrison. “Bruce is on a hot streak and so am I. The title belt around my waist has been a long time coming and it will be bittersweet to do it in front of all my family, amics, and fans. This fight will have a lot of fireworks and you will not want to look away for a second.”

 

“Aquests són els dos mascles alfa de la llista NEF,” dit NEF co-propietari i promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Quan caminen en una habitació, everyone knows it. But we all know that there can only be one alpha male in the pride. En Abril 11 a Lewiston, anem a determinar quin és el veritable mascle alfa quan aquests dos lleons xoquen.”
