Портленд, Мэн (Верасня 13, 2018) - New England Баі (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” у суботу, Лістапада 17 у Aura ў Портлендзе, Мэн. Раней сёння, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight title fight to the card. Аарон “Нястомны” Лэйсі (6-2) is scheduled to meet Bill Jones (13-10) for the vacant NEF Professional Featherweight Championship.

Lacey is coming off one of the biggest wins of his professional career to date. Last weekend at “NEF 35” before his hometown fans in Bangor, Мэн, Lacey submitted Jon Lemke (7-9) just under two minutes into the first round. It was a rebound win for Lacey who lost a decision to a very tough Da’Mon Blackshear (5-2) earlier this summer in Portland. На “NEF 36,” Lacey will look to capture gold in the promotion for the second time – he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title at “NEF 20” у лістападзе 2015 in what would be his final amateur fight. Lacey is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor.

“I’m excited to be fighting for this strap,” усклікнуў Лэйсі. “I was NEF’s first amateur 145-pound champion and I look forward to being one of the first people to hold amateur and professional belts for New England Fights! I have a very formidable and experienced opponent, but this belt has been calling my name for a long time and I am going to take what I have worked for all along!"

Bill Jones is one of the pioneers of the New England MMA scene, having competed in the region since 2007. He holds wins over some of the top fighters ever to come out of the area such as UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-9) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-9). Jones has competed at the national level for the World Series of Fighting (WSOF). Like Lacey, he also holds a first-round submission of Jon Lemke to his credit. На “NEF 33″ in Portland last spring, Jones was victorious over Matt Denning (5-8) via technical knockout in the second round. He is currently a member of Nostos MMA in Somersworth, Нью-Гэмпшыр.

“I’m at my most dangerous when I’m focused—and you best believe that I’ll be bringing a whole new level of commitment to my camp with the NEF Featherweight title on the line, a belt that I’ve had my eyes on for a long, доўгі час,” stated Jones. “I have a lot left in the tank and I’m out to prove in this fight that I’m no journeyman—I’m hard work for anyone that wants some. I can’t wait to be back in the NEF cage and put on a show for everyone!"

Портленд, Мэн (Верасня 12, 2018) - New England Баі (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” у суботу, Лістапада 17 у Aura ў Портлендзе, Мэн. Раней сёння, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s flyweight fight to the card. B.J. Garceau (1-0) is scheduled to face Chelsea Tucker (0-3) у барацьбе вагі 125 фунтаў.

B.J. Garceau made national headlines earlier this year as she prepared for her in-cage debut with NEF. Diagnosed with Type-1 juvenile diabetes in 1993, Garceau became an inspiration to those within the diabetic community looking to practice the martial arts. На “NEF 32” last February, she went the distance with Sarah Ziehm (1-2) in a back-and-forth contest, ultimately picking up the win via split-decision on the judges’ сістэмы паказчыкаў. Garceau is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Мэн.

“When Coach (Крыс) Young asked me if I was free November 17th, I thought he wanted me to be the water girl for the guys on the card,” Garceau quipped. “I say this jokingly, but we’ve had some struggles finding match ups for the Young’s WMMA (women’s mixed-martial-arts) team in the past. Me and my girls are hungry to fight. So when he asked if I’d fight Chelsea, who is a warrior that doesn’t back down from anything, of course my answer was ‘yes.’ I adore Chelsea and am ready to put on a hell of a show for the fans, my team and the beautiful city of Portland, Maine this November.”

The casual observer should not let Chelsea Tucker’s record fool them. Scrappy, talented and full of heart, Tucker has come to fight each time she has stepped in the cage. She has appeared four times in the NEF cage, including a non-sanctioned grappling match with Carol Linn Powell that went to a draw last April in Portland. Tucker proudly serves her country as a culinary specialist with the United States Coast Guard stationed in Boothbay, Мэн. She trains with First Class MMA in Brunswick, Мэн.

“I am very excited to step back into the cage,” said Tucker. “I look forward to fighting B.J. Гэта будзе вялікі бой, and I look forward to representing my gym and my skill set again in the NEF cage.”

Undefeated Shawn Lunghi has been dominant in two previous NEF cage appearances. The Florida native first traveled north in the fall of 2016, scoring a second round submission of Alex Clark (4-2). Last weekend, Lunghi returned to take on Devin Corson (1-1). It took just over a minute for Lunghi to pull out another submission win on Maine soil.

Льюистон, Мэн (Чэрвеня 3, 2016) – It will be a celebration of all things Americana when New England Fights (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisée on Saturday, Чэрвеня 18, 2016. The wildly popular fight promotion will once again give fans a full night of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing action.

 

In the main event of the boxing portion of the fight card, Брэндон “Гармата” Ягада (11-1-1) will defend the Northeast Junior Welterweight Title against challenger Джэймс “The Motor City Bad Boy” Lester (10-9-1). The two fought to a draw on the judges’ scorecards this past April in Lewiston. They agreed to rematch with Berry’s title on the line.

The professional MMA portion of the card will see Джэсі “Viking” Эрыксан (6-5) return to the cage after his third unsuccessful attempt at capturing the lightweight title this past April. Erickson will have his work cut out for him in the form of the always tough Amos Collins (4-5) at a catchweight of 161-pounds.

 

Erickson’s teammate, Мэт “Кен Лялька” Деннинг (3-2), will also see action on the professional MMA card when he meets Brandon Bushaw (1-2) у полулегком бой.

 

The amateur MMA card will be headlined by a flyweight title rematch as Раян Берджесс (2-0) defends against the former champion, and the athlete he took the title from, Дастын Veinott (4-4). Veinott’s loss to Burgess last fall via split decision put a stop to his four-fight win streak.

 

Also on the amateur card will be 46 гадоў Доктар. Стыў выбуху, Sr. (1-1), a bariatric surgeon from Auburn, Мэн.

HAITIAN SENSATION WILL MAKE NEF DEBUT ON JUNE 18

Пакінуць каментар

Льюистон, Мэн (Мая 31, 2016) – The Androscoggin Bank Colisée has a storied history of professional boxing inside the arena’s four walls. На Чэрвеня 18, Расэл “The Haitian Sensation” Lamour, Малодшы. (13-2, 6 КО) will add the next chapter to that story when he enters the New England Fights (NEF) ring for the first time. На “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND,” Lamour will make his NEF debut in a middleweight bout against Mexican veteran Раберта “Стары” Валенсуэла (69-71-2, 56 КО).

 

“Definitely excited to be making my NEF debut,” said Lamour. “NEF does a lot of shows here in Maine, and from what I hear it’s always a packed show. So I’m looking forward being on this card. I am excited about fighting at the Colisée ’cause I can then say that I fought in the same building that Muhammad Ali fought in and also that it’s right here at home in Maine. Fighting here at home again is always a great feeling, especially when you’re fighting in front of the people that support you the most. Can’t ask for anything better than that when fighting here in your backyard.”

 

A native of Brooklyn, Нью-Ёрк, Lamour entered the Portland Boxing Club shortly after graduating from Deering High School in Portland, Мэн. He had a stellar amateur boxing career, finishing with a record of 79-16. Among his numerous amateur accomplishments, Lamour was a five-time New England regional Golden Gloves champion. He competed in the semi-pro World Series of Boxing (WSB) where he was the number-one ranked middleweight in the Americas.

 

Lamour’s success carried over to the professional ranks where he won his first 11 канцы. Over the course of that impressive run, Lamour would capture the vacant USA New England Middleweight Title with a TKO victory over Laatekwei Hammond (21-6) in Lamour’s hometown of Portland, Мэн. Lamour has competed on ESPN’s Пятніца Начныя баі before a national audience. Мінулы месяц, he scored a TKO win over Borngod Washington (3-17) in Salem, Нью-Гэмпшыр. Lamour hopes to make it two in a row with a win over Valenzuela on Чэрвеня 18.

 

“He is a journeymen,” Lamour said of his upcoming opponent. “He’s been fighting for a while and has seen many different styles, but to me he’s just someone else that’s in my pathway that I have to beat to get to where I want to be, so I have to get him out of my way.”

 

Roberto Valenzuela is no stranger to Maine fight fans. He travelled from his home in Sonora, Mexico to Lewiston, Maine last fall to battle Brandon “Гармата” Ягада (11-1-1). Valenzuela would lose the bout via unanimous decision, but he impressed all in attendance with his gritty performance, roughing up Berry and cutting him above the eye in the process. Valenzuela has faced the likes of former world champions Andre Berto (31-4, 24 КО) і Стыў Форбс (35-14, 11 КО) і дзеючы чэмпіён свету Захір Рахім (35-3, 21 КО). He held the Mexican Pacific Coast Super Featherweight Title from 2003 для 2007.

 

“I am very excited to come back to Maine and fight again,” сказаў Валенсуэла праз перакладчыка. “I love New England, and I’ve fought in Maine, Масачусэтс, Vermont and Rhode Island during the course of my career. I’ve also worked corners in Connecticut and been pulled over for speeding in New Hampshire, so that must count for something. The last time I was in Maine, I busted open Brandon Berry’s eye and waged a bloody war. I’m ready to do the same with Russell Lamour. I hope he’s ready too.”
