Nehézsúlyú harcok és hardcore zenéiket mindezt egy hétvégi MUNKA Brad LEE

Szólj hozzá!

Azonnali kiadásra: Portland, Maine (Január 22, 2020)

Péntek, Február 7 és szombaton, Február 8 ígérkeznek a nehézsúlyú hétvége Portland, Maine Brad Lee.

Nyitóestéjén, Lee fogja állítani a tüdejét a vizsgálat énekes egy hardcore banda néven szít, amely tart lemezbemutató party együtt a teljesítmény Geno Rock Club.

Aztán majd cserélni a mikrofont egy pár kesztyűt és megpróbálja játszanak kétöklű dalára Ras Hylton a New England Harcok MMA ketrec.

Lee teszi az MMA ellen debütált a veterán Ras „Rasquatch” „A jamaikai Shamrock” Hylton (4-3) szakmai bout NEF 42: „Symphony of Destruction” belül egy másik híres koncerthelyszín, Merrill Auditorium.

„Abszolút szeretnénk megélni belőle,”Lee mondta ő, azonnal megjelenik a pro soraiban után változatos küzdősportok nevelés. „Úgy érzem, hogy én vagyok elég piacképes. Azt hiszem, lehet, hogy egy kicsit egy csobbanás a sarokban a világ. Azt mondom, hogy alázatos bizalommal.”

Ő inkább alábecsülte a zenei hasznosítja. Lee jellemzi, hogy oldalán a teljesítményt művészi, a tipikus garázs zenekar kis álmok.

„Ez egy hatalmas része az életemnek. Ha egy nagy gyerek egy gördeszka, ez valószínűleg fog vezetni, hogy a zene és a harc végül,"Mondta Lee.

„De ez biztosan nem a pénzről," hozzátette. „Ez szó szerint egy zenekar baráti csinálja, hogy lógni a többi barátai a hétvégén. Most nem tudtuk (érdekel) körülbelül stadionok. Nem vagyunk Metallica. Ez csak egy hobbi. Ez egy kivezető számomra, hogy ki a (dolog) ez a fejemben. Ez csak egy hobbi.”

Ugyanígy az új vadászgépek kell keresni az utat felfelé a harcot plakátok, Lee, aki azt mondta: „dabbles” gitárral, hangok leginkább izgatott a New England-alapú zenekar, akikkel kezdeményez kap, hogy egy színpadon.

„Death Before Dishonor és kegyetlen kéz, Ha tudni semmit, hogy a jelenet, ezek a nagy nevek,"Mondta Lee. „Ez lett volna egy nagy show, függetlenül attól, hogy volt-e vagy sem.”

Rátérve PRO a NEF hatszög nélkül amatőr háttér nem a tipikus út, de Lee látta, hogy az a legbölcsebb út után frusztráló év próbálják megtalálni hajlandó ellenfelek.

A legtöbb potenciális ellenség, ő mondta, megfélemlítette a 6 láb 4 keret és az akkori gyalogos körül tömege nagyobb mint 300 font. A nehézsúlyú limit 265.

„Volt öt különböző ellenfelek három különböző promóciók, például a NEF, megszünteti a rám. Volt harc, ahol az ellenfél megszerezte a harcot velem, kihátrált, majd vett egy nehézsúlyú küzdelem ugyanazon a kártyán,"Mondta Lee. „Nem akarok neveket említeni, de az egyik srác a Ras’ kör (tette, hogy a). Csak torkig és bosszantotta a fiúk tartja vissza a karrierem.”

Lee azt mondta, hogy végül a kapcsolatot NEF társtulajdonosa és házasságszerző Matt Peterson érdeklődni a pro táj belül ő támogatása.

Hylton, aki vet egy hasonlóan impozáns árnyék 6-6, jön ki sorozata két veszteségek az ő elmúlt három látszat, beleértve a kieséses veszteséget Chris Sarro - egy másik harcos, hogy a profi debütáló - tavaly szeptemberben.

„Matt tegye Ras odakinn. Néztem a videókat és beszéltem a kocsik és ment előre, hogy,"Mondta Lee. „Ő jön ki két kemény harcok. Úgy tűnik, mint egy tiszteletteljes srác. Biztos vagyok benne, néhány ember táborában hiszem egy (rántás). A dolog rólam a szociális média világ csak kiadja, amit akarok embereket látni. Az emberek beszélnek (marhaság) minden, amit akarnak.”

Egyik videók, amely Lee című, „Mitől lesz egy Pro Pro?,”Le is bontja azt, amit ő úgy véli, a tévhit, hogy egy amatőr karrier szükségszerűség MMA siker.

„Nézd meg Jon Jones. Most, Nem azt mondom, én Jon Jones, de ő lett a világbajnok nélkül (martial arts) övek egyáltalán,"Mondta Lee. "Tehát mi az? Van az, hogy tudja ütni srácok? Már kiütötte egy csomó srác az életemben. Attól, hogy cardio? Saját cardio elég jó.

"Tudod, Csak meguntam vár körül más emberek. Amikor majdnem kész volt harcolni egy évvel ezelőtt, Rájöttem igaza volt a tetején a súlycsoportban, de ez olyan, mint az emberek megrémültek. Úgy értem, Ha nem akarjuk, hogy a nehézsúlyú majd lejutni 205 vagy mindegy. Én sokkal könnyebb és jobb formában most. Az emberek talán jobb lett volna, ki harcol velem az elmúlt évben.”

Boksz és judo az elsődleges képességek Lee szerszámkészlet, bár leírja magát, mint egy telhetetlen cross-trainer.

„Azt hiszem, az MMA világ alszik boksz egy kicsit,"Mondta Lee. „Muay Thai tűnik a dolog, de a Muay Thai srácok arcukat megüt egy csomó. De a vonat bármit. Megteszem Tai chi egy parkban valaki, ha ez segít, hogy jobban, Nem érdekel.”

Lee, 29, épül ki Paladin Küzdősport Clinton, Massachusetts, ahol azt mondta, fog felhalmozódni a menetrend és az intenzitás szintjét ellen szinte bárki az ő mérete a küzdősportok játék.

„Nyer vagy veszít, Visszajövök az edzőteremben hétfőn. Ahhoz képest, amit láttam a legtöbb UFC és Bellator nehézsúlyú, Edzek nehezebb, mint a legtöbb,"Mondta Lee. "Én voltam 316 £ kevesebb, mint egy évvel ezelőtt. Ha valaki azt akarja, hogy ellenőrizze velem a motiváció vagy elkötelezettség, mondd meg nekik, hogy ellenőrizze a skála (A mérlegelés inek) február 7.”

Azt követően, ventilátorok felkérik, hogy kövesse Lee az utcán, hogy Geno és hallgatni őt folytassa más szenvedély előtti estén debütál a NEF ketrec.

Szólj hozzá!

Azonnali kiadásra: Orono, Maine (Július 11, 2019) - New England Harcol (NEF) will debut in Orono on September 7, 2019 at the Collins Center for the Arts with the promotion’s next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks.” Korábban ma, NEF announced the first professional fight signed for the card. “The Jamaican Shamrock” Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (4-2) veszi át Chris Sarro (0-0) egy Cirkálósúly viadal.

Ras Hylton is coming off a big win last April over Charles Penn (0-1) Portlandben, Maine. The doctor stopped that fight in the first round when a cut over Penn’s eye could not be closed. Hylton opened the gash with a straight right hand that left blood pouring down to the mat.

Hylton is a mainstay of the NEF heavyweight and cruiserweight divisions. The 6’6″ athlete holds a second-degree black belt in Shotokan karate. He currently trains with Dragon Fire Martial Arts in Portland and First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

“I am quite fortunate to be at the point in my career when I’m called upon to introduce new professionals to our work experience,” said Hylton.  “Boxers like my opponent offer a great risk with their familiarity in the pocket and at distance, so of course we’ll both be more than happy to trade our best shots for the win! I love the arts, but it’s in the fighting aspects of martial arts that competitors like us truly live and find purpose. So we train like our lives depend on it, because to us, that’s how it is. Welcome to the school of hard knocks, Chris. MMA 101 is now in session.”

As noted by Hylton, his opponent Chris Sarro may be a newcomer to the MMA cage, but he is no stranger to the world of combat sports. Sarro made a name for himself as an amateur boxer with a record of 7-1. He captured the 2019 Northern New England Golden Gloves championship in the superheavyweight division. A native of Ellsworth, Maine, Sarro currently represents Acadia Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

“I’m just excited to fight close to home,” said Sarro.  “Orono feels like my backyard. Come September 7th, I’m going to show the world there’s a new heavyweight in town. This is my time.”

HYLTON READY TO ‘MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN’ IN 2019

Szólj hozzá!

Portland, Maine (Március 11, 2019) - New England Harcol (NEF) heavyweight ‘Rasquatch’ ‘The Jamaican Shamrock’ Ras Hylton (3-2) had a mixed bag of a mixed martial arts (MMA) run in 2018. Hylton recently joined host Jason Floyd on The MMA Report podcast to discuss the ups-and-downs of the last year and his goals for 2019.

After losing a fight in New York last May, Hylton rebounded with a beautiful knockout victory over longtime MMA veteran Eric Bedard (6-8) in Rhode Island last August. The win put Hylton in the position to fight Yorgan De Castro for the inaugural NEF Cruiserweight title, a 225-pound division that Hylton has been championing for the widespread adoption of in MMA. De Castro and Hylton shared a wild two-and-a-half minutes in the cage before De Castro ultimately knocked out Hylton to win the title.

“I was trying to change things up and, Tudja, it’s kind of like playing with a chemistry set for the first time,” Hylton said in describing his 2018. “You get a bunch of ingredients, and elements, and chemicals in front of you and some you’re familiar with and some you’ve got to learn and tinker with some before you can really hone down what it’s going for.”

A lifelong martial artist, Hylton credits his father for putting him on the path that lead to his eventual career choice as a professional fighter.

“Ever since I started learning how to box a little bit with my dad when I was a kid, I’ve always been fascinated with fighting in general,” Hylton told Floyd. “He never really would have wanted me to be a fighter, but he put a bug in and I never really let go, so it was just the next logical evolution of my learning was getting in there and testing it out in an environment that supports growth and change. Így, it’s been a great learning experience. I’ve met a lot of great people and had a lot of fun doing it.”

It’s no secret to anyone that has seen Hylton compete in the cage that he prefers the standup aspect of the sport as opposed to the ground game, but when asked why he choose to pursue mixed martial arts competition over boxing, he answered without hesitation.

“The variety and the options available,” Hylton replied. “Don’t get me wrong, I completely respect boxing as a sport, but the fact that there’s so much focus on just the upper body and punches to the head and more frequently than not. Úgy értem, we’re all looking for the knockout shot, but MMA offered the opportunity to really open up and give us more of a realistic approach to one-on-one combat. I mean as long as you play fair, you get to use all the same tools and figure out how to play a different kind of game that still beats the other guys.”

Standing at 6’6”, Hylton has become known for his menacing height as much as he has for his memorable performances in the cage. However, Hylton was quick to note that his height can be both a blessing and a curse when it comes to combat.

“It definitely focuses things for both myself and my opponent,” Hylton stated. “I’ve got a body type that speaks very blatantly of what the advantages are and what the disadvantages are, so it really helps to focus the training and where’s there fewer big people than there are small people, you need some sort of way to fine tune things as quick as possible. Tudod,, there’s not much of a learning curve before you start getting hurt by it.”

Hylton’s next fight is set for April 27th when he takes on Charles Penn at “NEF 38: Stormborn” in Portland, Maine. Penn, who fights for Hyaston MMA, will be traveling from North Carolina for the bout.

“This has been probably the biggest question mark fight I’ve ever had,” Hylton stated. “I mean, at least with everybody who’s come before there’s been some avenue of recent information, but I mean he did bring his amateur career, 6-3, but his last fight was, mit? 2013? Így, there’s a big question mark there, there’s a big gap there, where he could have gone in any direction. So it’s kind of simplified things for me, because now I get to just stick to my plan of using 2019 to do what I have to do to be the best fighter I can be. Így, I get to keep on at him. I don’t have the distraction of trying to figure out the other guy. It’s really played towards my mental strengths to start off this year.”

“Execution,” Hylton continued. “Execution of the game plan is what I’m really looking to stick to from here on out. I want to take this as far as I can go. I want to go up as high as I can. And I’ve been lucky with the support that I’ve got between my family and my gyms to be able to do something that really makes me feel whole. I want to pay back that investment in full and with as much interest as possible, as soon as possible. I’m in my 30’s now, got to make something happen, Tudja?"

NEF MAKES HISTORY WITH NEW WEIGHT DIVISION AND TITLE FIGHT

Szólj hozzá!

Portland, Maine (Október 15, 2018) - New England Harcol (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” szombat, November 17 Aura Portland, Maine. Korábban ma, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional cruiserweight championship bout to the card. “The Jamaican Shamrock” Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton(3-1) will meet undefeated Yorgan De Castro (2-0) to crown the first-ever NEF Professional Cruiserweight Champion.

The fight will officially give birth to the brand-new NEF cruiserweight division. This bout, as well as future bouts in the weight class, will take place at the 225-pound limit. The division, which sits between light-heavyweight and heavyweight, was approved as an official weight class for MMA by the Association of Boxing Commissions at their annual conference in July 2017. NEF will be one of the first promotions in the country to institute a cruiserweight division.

“The adoption of new weight classes at the highest levels of the sport in order to account for the wide gaps in the current championship class structure is inevitable—we’re just getting there first,” mondta NEF társtulajdonosa és házasságszerző Matt Peterson. “There’s no more perfect way to usher in this new era of the 225-pound weight class than with a championship fight on the year-end “Battle for the Gold” show between two high-caliber, hungry opponents that NEF fans are very familiar with. This action-packed event was tailor made to include this breakthrough bout – it’s just one more element to an already blistering card. Fans can be certain that they will get their money’s worth on November 17th.”

Ras Hylton will return to the NEF cage after nearly a year-and-a-half absence. He is a five-fight veteran of the NEF cage where he is undefeated with three wins as an amateur and two as a professional. Tavaly augusztusban, Hylton knocked out veteran Eric Bedard (6-8) in Rhode Island with a single elbow strike after absorbing a barrage of shots from Bedard that had little-to-no effect. Standing at a towering 6’6,” Hylton holds a black belt in Taekwondo. He trains with both First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine and Dragon Fire Martial Arts of South Portland.

“I’m ecstatic about the response to my FaceTime call to action, and that I get to kick off my cruiserweight run back home,” said Hylton. “I’ve spoken at length about my dream to elevate the draw and excitement to see the heavier divisions, so I thank (NEF owners) Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo for working with me again, and launching the title here with NEF! Yorgan is a good strong fighter with heavy hands that I saw work against my best friend Nick Gulliver in another belt war. Now I move to follow ‘The Guardian’s’ example, and keep the inaugural strap right here in Maine. Thanks for staying with us everyone!"

As Hylton noted, this will not be the first time Yorgan De Castro has come to Maine looking to take gold back with him to Massachusetts. De Castro faced Hylton’s teammate Nick Gulliver for the NEF Amateur Heavyweight Title in a losing effort at “NEF 26” almost two years to the day he will fight Hylton.

“I’m very excited to become the first 225-pound NEF champion,” said De Castro. “We will be sure to put on a great show for the fans. I’ve been through some very dark moments in my all life and on November 17 I’ll make sure I bring all my demons with me and Ras will have to deal with them. This fight will be absolutely epic.”

A native of Portugal now residing in the fighting city of Brockton, Massachusetts, De Castro has had success to date in his professional career. He has finished both of his previous opponents via technical knockout at light-heavyweight. For fighters like De Castro and Hylton, the creation of a cruiserweight division in NEF opens a new realm of career possibilities that did not exist before. De Castro was one of the first individual to respond positively to Hylton’s Face Time video calling for the creation of a cruiserweight division.

“I’m excited to make my NEF debut as a professional fighter in the inaugural cruiserweight division,” De Castro continued. “This is a huge opportunity for fighters and I’m looking to make my mark in that division. I have nothing but respect for Ras—he’s a class act man and very tough—but he has never faced a more dedicated and focused Yorgan and on November 17, I’ll be victorious and write my name in NEF history.”

NEF következő vegyes harcművészeti esemény, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” will see the company make its return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday, November 17, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. Jegyek már kaphatók a www.AuraMaine.com.

DIRIGO ALUM DALEY BALANCES WORK, FAMILY AND MMA CAGEFIGHTING

Szólj hozzá!

 

 

Azonnali kiadásra: Lewiston, Maine (Június 14, 2017) – Derek Daley believes that his mixed martial arts training gives him an edge in his career. He also recognizes that training with First Class MMA makes him a better mixed martial artist.

 

It’s a busy life for Daley, a law enforcement officer and father of a 6-year-old daughter, Ella. He will break away for a few frenzied moments on the night ofSzombat, Június 17, when he returns to the New England Fights hexagon for the first time in a year.

 

Daley, 27, is one of seven fighters who will represent his Brunswick gym at “NEF 29: Stars & Stripes.” The opening bell is set for 7 p.m. at Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston.

 

“I’ve improved in every area, and I’ve really improved my cardio,"Daley mondta. “My first fight I was worried about what might happen if I got to the third round.”

 

There was barely time to break a sweat. Daley, a two-time Maine high school wrestling champion at Dirigo High School in Dixfield who later played college football at Husson University, dispatched Johel Stephenson in only 55 másodperc.

 

“We had a game plan to hit him with a straight jab to set him up for an overhead right, then get it down to the mat and finish it with ground-and-pound,"Daley mondta. “It actually went exactly as we planned it, which was great.”

 

Ezúttal, Daley (1-0) takes on the more seasoned Frank Johanson (2-2) of Lewiston’s Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in a featherweight amateur scrap.

 

Daley joins Ras Hylton, Dominic Jones, Rafael Velado, Josh Jones, Jake Deppmeyer and Jon Tefft in the First Class contingent on the docket. He was lured to the training center and the MMA phenomenon by another local police officer with fighting in his blood, Nick Gulliver of Jay.

 

“I had been training jiu-jitsu at the Foundry in Farmington,"Daley mondta. “Nick said (MMA) would translate well to law enforcement, and he was right. Több, John and Jody (Sugár) are just great people.”

 

Raio’s experience on the high school and college wrestling mat has made him a natural mentor for Daley, who hit the 100-win plateau early in his junior year at Dirigo.

Daley won the 119-pound state title as a sophomore and backed it up as a senior at 135 font, not far from where he fights today at 145.

 

“Derek is a tremendous athlete and one of our best wrestlers,” Raio said. “He has a solid attitude and gives 100 percent every class and sparring session.”

 

It’s admittedly difficult for Daley to balance his competitive passion with his blossoming police career.

 

He began as an officer in Wilton. After moving to Richmond, he applied for work in three surrounding cities. Augusta was first to make him an offer.

 

“I’ve been there since November and it’s a perfect fit for me,"Daley mondta. “I have a great sergeant and a great team.”

 

Police work is a family tradition. Daley’s father, Hart, is Chief Deputy of the Oxford County Sheriff’s Department.

 

It was not a case of a father wanting his son to fill his shoes.

 

“I majored in physical education,” Daley noted. “Dad said, ‘Be a teacher. Don’t go into law enforcement.’ But it’s one of those things that must be pretty stubborn in the family, because my brother and I both are police officers. The schedule is tough and unpredictable.”

 

First Class MMA helps Daley bring his commitments as cop and fighter under one roof. “It’s a great workout. I’m not really into traditional weight lifting. Úgy értem, I did it when I played college football (Husson). This way I get a workout, but it doesn’t feel like I’m working,"Ő mondta. “It definitely makes me feel more comfortable if I ever have to get into a physical confrontation as an officer.”

 

Sugár, now retired from the cage after a run as one of NEF’s most popular fighters in its infancy, understands the home vs. work vs. family balance. He is the father of two and was employed full time with the U.S. Postal Service when he got the itch to try combat sports once again.

 

Még mindig, he is high on his pupil’s potential if Daley ever decides to focus fully on the cage.

 

“The sky is the limit for him in this sport. I can see him getting to the UFC or Bellator if that is the path he chooses,” Raio said. “He is an outstanding police officer and a great father as well. He puts his daughter first in everything he does.”

 

Daley returns the compliments, insisting that even if his foray into MMA winds up being a cup of coffee, he will continue to train at First Class for fitness purposes. He describes the atmosphere as a tight circle of friends and a brotherhood.

 

“It’s a great group of guys. There are no egos,"Daley mondta. “I was kind of worried about that when I first showed up. Was I going to be (a target) because I’m a police officer, or were there a bunch of guys all looking to be the alpha dog? But it’s quite the opposite. It’s like a big family. You’re punching a guy in the face, but you’re family.”

 

That goes double for his friendship with Gulliver, who is undefeated as an amateur heavyweight.

 

“I feel like a baby gorilla with its mom when I’m working out with Nick,” he quipped. “I think for him it’s enjoyment just to pound on me.”

 

It certainly reduces the stress when he gets the opportunity to pick on someone his own size at an NEF card, although Daley knows better than to take the veteran Johanson lightly.

 

The CMBJJ fighter enters on a two-fight winning streak, and he defeated First Class’ Deppmeyer in February.

 

“Frank is a tough opponent. I saw his fight against Jake,"Daley mondta. “He has a tough chin. He takes shots and just keeps coming forward.”

 

Even though he fought in front of thousands at the state wrestling showcase four times as a high school student, Daley is humble enough to acknowledge that an NEF show is a different animal.

 

“I was a complete nervous wreck, like almost to the point where I was ready to puke behind the curtain,” he said of his debut. “Then once I stepped in the cage, it went away and I just did what I had to do. I was able to shake off the rust a little bit.

 

“But it’s still different from wrestling. Back then I wasn’t getting punched in the face.”

 

A Június 17 card features four professional MMA fights, four pro boxing matches, and seven amateur skirmishes in the cage. Tickets to “NEF 29: Stars & Stripes” start at $25 és rendelkezésre állnak a hívó (207) 783-2009 ext. 525 vagy www.thecolisee.com.
