NEF FEJRER TI-ÅRS JUBILÆUM MED NITTENDE KAMPNAT I PORTLAND; TILBAGE TIL L/A OMRÅDE MEDDELT

Efterlad en kommentar

Portland, Maine (Februar 13, 2022) – En ny mester og et succesfuldt titelforsvar i amatørrækkerne og en fantastisk vending af lykken på professionelt niveau fremhævede New England Fights’ 10-års jubilæumskort lørdag aften.

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” var et propfyldt, 15-kæmpe fusillade før endnu en udsolgt, energisk publikum på Aura i Portland, Maine.

Mike Murray ogZach Faulkner begejstrede disse fans med en tidlig "Fight of the Year"-kandidat i deres brouhaha for den ledige 170-pund titel. Murray (4-2) anvendte de erfaringer, han lærte i tidligere tab, til Zac Richard og Tim Birkenhead hos NEF 40 og 41, henholdsvis, ved at samles om en split decision-sejr over Faulkner (4-2).

I hælene på en enstemmig sejr på scorekortene i hans seneste kamp, Faulkner slog tonen an med et tordnende smæk i åbningsrunden. Han kæmpede ud af et guillotineforsøg i anden strofe og vendte tilbage fra et par tidlige Murray-nedtagelser for at påføre en rimelig del af straffen i den tredje.

Murray vendte momentum i sin retning ved at lande et bundt bomber i runde fire, og Faulkners nedtagning sent i den femte var sandsynligvis ikke nok til at forsegle aftalen, efter Murray var forbundet med en række kropsslag.

Den anden titelkamp tog meget kortere tid og overlod langt mindre til fortolkning.Tyler Smythe (4-1) var autoritativ i sit første forsvar af 125-pund-remmen, afsendelseRyan Burgess (3-3) via bageste nøgen choker kl 2:37 af åbningen runde.

Burgess afsluttede en fire-årig afskedigelse fra NEF-hexagonen for at udfordre Smythe, der vandt titlen med en teknisk knockout af Caleb Austin.

Han pressede på spørgsmålet tidligt, men Smythe vendte sagen om den aggression ved at kaste Burgess på måtten. Burgess’ forsøg på en gengældelsesarmbar mislykkedes, og Smythe låste sig i sidste ende fast i en guillotine-choke, der afsluttede hans nat.

I et højdepunkt blandt de fem professionelle kampe, Carl Langston – uden sejr i seks tidligere pro-kampe efter en omfattende amatørkarriere – hævnede sit seneste nederlag med en nøgen choke bagfraZac Richard.

Slutningen kom 81 sekunder efter åbningsklokken, når Richard (1-1), en tidligere NEF-amatørmester og dekoreret wrestler, gik til en nedtagning. Det lykkedes i første omgang, men opgav ryggen og blev offer for kvælningen.

Begge kæmpere accepterede kampen på 140 pund på kun få dage’ varsel efter deres første modstandere blev utilgængelige. Richard sænkede bommen på Langston med en knockout kl 3:52 af første runde i sin pro-debut tilbage i november.

Langston, der gik 7-9 som amatør og tog fire af sine seks pro erobrere til scorekortene, lovede et andet resultat i sine bemærkninger før kampen, og han leverede.

Aaron Lacey af Bangor, Maine, gør sin første optræden i buret siden september 2018, forbedret til 7-2 i pro-hovedbegivenheden med en anden runde teknisk knockout til strejker over Bronx-bomber og Bellator-veteranJerome Mickle (4-12).  I et følelsesladet øjeblik for at afslutte natten, Mickle annoncerede sin pensionering efter næsten ni års burkonkurrence.

Lacey udnyttede en tidlig takedown til at dominere den første runde af 155-punds showcase, rampede derefter sit jord-og-pund-angreb op til et andet niveau i andet kapitel, før dommeren vinkede af forløbet kl. 1:42.

I den eneste kvindekamp på kortet, crowd-glædeligtGlory Watson (2-1) fortsatte sin vindermåde med en bagerste nøgen choke af tidligere ubesejredeAlibeth Milliron (2-1) på 2:23 af anden runde i deres kamp på 115 pund.

Begge kvinder landede tidligt hømagere, med Watsons ansigtsudtryk, der indikerer, at hun var alt andet end såret. Hun demonstrerede yderligere dette punkt ved at tage Milliron til lærredet og løbe tør for tid i sit første forsøg på at slukke lyset.

Milliron lavede flere overture med stand-up-spillet i runde to. En hurtig nedtagning og en række slag gav Watson endnu en mulighed for chokeren, dog, og hun forseglede aftalen.

I en kamp på to 140-pund, der får deres pro-debut, Nate Grimard udøvede topkontrol hele vejen igennem og brisede til en enstemmig beslutning over Anthony Just.  Grimards succes som professionel kommer ikke som nogen overraskelse for fans. Han er en tidligere NEF-amatør fjervægtsmester, som sammensatte en rekord på 4-1 i amatørrækkerne.

Mohammad Al Kinani nød også et sejrrigt dyk ned i de professionelle farvande, kun behøver 42 sekunder at afviseChris Rooney (0-2) via strejker kl 155. Al Kinani modarbejdede Rooneys tidlige spark med et sus, droppe Rooney og udsætte ham for endnu en spærreild, der fremskyndede standsningen.

Førsteklasses MMA staldkammeraterCody Kilton ogJustin Fabric bestået mønstring med dommerne i ryg-mod-ryg amatørkampe.

Kilton (2-1) truffet en enstemmig beslutningCaleb Kenney(0-2) på 155. Stof (1-3) smagte sejr for første gang med en delt afgørelse dom på bekostning afJon Assam (2-4). Kangas holdt kontrollen på jorden gennem anden og tredje runde for at sætte det længe ventede mærke i venstre kolonne af sin hovedbog.

Tre amatørkampe indeholdt rookie-udflugten for begge kombattanter.

Mike Jolicoeur brugt en armtrekant til at tage sig af forretninger imodWill Smith på 145. I en kollision på 125 pund, Nøgle Baltazar låst i en bageste nøgen choker kl 1:33 af anden runde imodQuinn Poirier. Baltazars hold, Nostos MMA, var en ubesejret 3-0 på "NEF 46."Jack Burke punkterede hans sejrNick Legrande med et brutalt knockout-slag kl 1:25 af åbningsrammen i deres 265-punds rumlen.

Curtis Ouellette (2-3) forkæletChristopher Smith debut med en TKO via akkumulering af strejker i runde tre.

To andre amatørscraps producerede første runde afslutninger.Jeff Reynolds (3-2) vundet af bageste nøgen choker overDavid McCarty (1-1) på 185, ogBen Grady(3-0) holdt sin rekord pletfri nårBrandon Maillet-Fevens (3-3) kunne ikke fortsætte efter at have skadet sin arm, mens han blokerede et spark.

CHAMP VS FORMER CHAMP SET FOR FLYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ON FEBRUARY 12TH

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Portland, Maine (November 26, 2021) - New England Fights (NEF) vender tilbage med sin næste mixed-martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, "NEF 46: Årti med dominans," på lørdag, Februar 12, 2022, ved Aura i Portland, Maine. Arrangementet skal fejre NEFs ti-års jubilæum. Den førende regionale kampagne blev lanceret i februar 11, 2012. Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bout to the fight card. NEF Flyweight ChampionTyler Smythe (3-1) is scheduled to defend his title against former NEF Flyweight ChampionRyan "Gordo" Burgess (3-2) ved en kampvægt på 125 pounds.

Tyler Smythe notched his third MMA win and captured coveted NEF gold in the process when he recently stopped previously undefeated flyweight prospect Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (5-1) in a “Fight of the Night” performance at “NEF 45: Uprising.” Down on the scorecards but not discouraged, Smythe waged a come-from-behind victory to earn the technical knockout (WHO) stoppage over Austin in the final second of the fourth round of their championship bout. Never one to slow down, Smythe, who is trained by Nate Libby out of Evolution Athletix in Saco, Maine, is anxious to make an immediate turnaround and defend his title against a former NEF Champion.

“From bell to bell, every round, I’ll be going at this kid like he owes me money,” Smythe stated. “I want a quick finish. Ryan doesn’t deserve to be in that cage with me. February 12th, I’ll show why I’m the NEF flyweight champ.”

Ryan Burgess is no stranger to championship challenges. Hailing from Rumford, Maine, Burgess is one of only four Mountain Valley High School mat men to ever win triple state crowns in wrestling. He amassed an amazing 151-23 overall high school record before graduating and turning his attention to mixed martial arts. Burgess quickly made a name for himself in MMA when he won the NEF Flyweight Championship in November 2015 with a split-decision nod over then Champion Dustin Veinott (5-4). When Burgess last competed, he displayed a dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) game off his back in defeating Nate Boucher (0-1) in a heated hometown rivalry. Burgess, a BJJ purple belt, trains under Jason “JB” Bell and fights out of Bell’s Famoso BJJ.

“I’m super excited to make my return on NEF’s 10-year anniversary show,” Burgess stated. “It’s been a long time coming for me to return to the cage and I can’t think of a more perfect scenario than coming back and regaining my flyweight title with a finish over Smythe. It’s been three years since I’ve competed, but my coach, Jason Bell, and I have been putting in work behind the scenes. I can’t wait to showcase my skills and put on a show for the fans.

“Smythe seems like a tough opponent, and it was no easy feat for him to defeat Caleb Austin for the belt,” Burgess continued. “With that being said, I see many holes in his game that I plan to exploit come February 12th. I hope he’s not expecting the same fighter he’s watching in the three-plus-year-old film he’s researching to better understand me. Mentally and skillfully, I am a far superior fighter compared to my previous bouts and only my training partners actually know the weapons I’ll be bringing into that cage to get the job done. Smythe may rethink his entire pursuit of a professional MMA career when I’m finished with him. The pressure I’m going to bring would melt any of these amateur flyweights in New England and come February they will all be on notice.”

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance” finder sted på lørdag, Februar 12, 2022, ved Aura i Portland, Maine. Arrangementet skal fejre NEFs ti-års jubilæum. Døre åbne på 6 pm med første kamp kl 7 om eftermiddagen. Billetter er til salg nu klwww.Ticketmaster.com.

BERMUDEZ VICTORIOUS, ERICKSON PUTS ON A CLINIC AS NEF BRINGS A SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION TO THE MERRILL AUDITORIUM STAGE

Efterlad en kommentar

PRESSEMEDDELELSE: Portland, Maine (Februar 10, 2020) – More than 2000 braved frigid temperatures on Saturday night as New England Fights (NEF) brought its most recent mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event to the stage of Merrill Auditorium in Portland. 22 fights took place under the shadow of the world-famous 1911 Kotzschmar Memorial Organ. It was NEF’s debut at the century-old venue, and the event opened the venerable fight promotion’s ninth season of MMA competition.

I den vigtigste begivenhed af aftenen, UFC veteranManny “The Bermudez Triangle” Bermudez(15-2) indsendtBruce "Pretty Boy" Boyington (19-12) with a guillotine choke in the first round. The bout was originally scheduled to be contested for the NEF Professional Lightweight Title, but with Bermudez missing championship weight, he was not eligible to win the belt. The title currently remains vacant.

Bermudez’s victory capped a perfect night for the South Shore Sportfighting team of Rockland, Massachusetts. Teammates Darryl Andrews (1-0) og Tim Birkenhead (2-0) were both successful in their respective fights to lift their gym to a 3-0 record on the event.

Also going 3-0 on the evening was the team of Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.Bamsepolitik (1-0), Ben Grady (1-0), ogTyler Smythe (1-0) all stopped their opponents within the first minute of the first round of their respective fights to win their respective amateur debuts.

The biggest story of the night, undoubtedly, came in the co-main event as longtime NEF veteranJesse “The Viking” Erickson(10-8) handedJosh “Hook On” Harvey(7-1-1) the first loss of his professional career. Erickson, who represents both Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Recon Fitness, put on a brilliant jiu-jitsu clinic that will be remembered for years to come. Trapped against the cage by Harvey early-on in the first round, Erickson pulled guard and transitioned through a chain of submissions before finally settling in with an armbar to force the tapout, sending the Portland crowd into an absolute frenzy.

In a wild heavyweight slugfest that also took place on the professional portion of the card, Ras “Rasquatch” Hylton (5-3) downedBrad Lee(0-1) via technical knockout in the second round. After several minutes of feeling each other out, the pair exchanged in a back-and-forth slobber-knocker in the closing moments of the first round. A little over a minute into the second round, the referee called a halt to the action after several unanswered strikes from the 6’6” Hylton.

Hylton’s First Class MMA teammateJacob Deppmeyer(1-0) had a successful pro debut, besejreCarl Langston(0-5) via first-round technical knockout. Deppmeyer, trapped Langston in a reverse triangle and rained down a series of unanswered elbows, giving the referee no option but to stop the bout at that point.

On the amateur card, top udsigtenMike Bezanson (5-0) of Kaze Dojo remained undefeated with a technical knockout win overGreg Ishihara(2-2) i første runde.

Also remaining undefeated in the amateur ranks wereNate “The Mule” White(5-0) ogCaleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0), both fighting out of CMBJJ, who finished their respective opponents in the first round.

Another CMBJJ product, Garry Carr (3-1), broke his own record for a second consecutive time when he became, yet again, the oldest athlete to win a fight in the NEF cage. At 58-years-young, Carr took a unanimous decision victory over 23-year-old Austin Hamilton (0-2) in a catchweight amateur fight.

NEF also announced that its next event would see the promotion return to the campus of UMaine Orono at the Collins Center for the Arts on April 18 with “NEF 43: Rampage.” Already confirmed for the event, Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) will defend the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title againstDevin Corson(3-1), mensChelsea Tucker(3-3) is scheduled to meet Oregon’sCaree Hill(6-2) for the NEF Amateur Women’s Flyweight Championship, and Caleb Austin facesJames Ploss (1-2) in a long-awaited rematch of their controversial 2017 ende.
