Four titles were decided on a thirteen-fight card held before a capacity audience.

En l'esdeveniment principal, Cara Greenwell (10-4) played the role of spoiler, winning the NEF Amateur Women’s Strawweight Championship with a unanimous decision over Bangor, Maine deGlory “The Fury” Watson (6-1).  Greenwell came all the way from Oklahoma for the fight. It is the first blemish on the previously-undefeated Watson’s amateur record.

“Killa” Kam Arnold (6-1) retained the NEF Amateur Bantamweight strap with a devastating second-round knockout ofWalt Shea(3-2) in the evening’s co-main event. It was Arnold’s second successful defense of the title and the sixth knockout victory of his amateur career.

Zac “Rocky” Richard(5-2-1) captured the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title with a unanimous decision win over“Magic” Mike Murray(2-1).  The fight went back and forth for five grueling rounds and looked at one point like the doctor at cageside would stop the bout due to an injury on Richard’s knee. The fight continued, però, and Richard pulled out the win on the judges’ scorecards.

Nate Boucher (6-3) derrotatSteve Desjardins (5-4) via submission in the first round to become the new NEF Amateur Flyweight Champion. The win was Boucher’s fourth in a row.

In addition to the fights, NEF announced that its first event of 2020 would take place on February 8 as the promotion debuts at the 1900-seat Merrill Auditorium in Portland. The show is titled “NEF 42: Symphony of Destruction” and tickets went on sale Saturday night atwww.PortTix.com. 

Already announced for “NEF 42” is a five-round professional lightweight title fight between former NEF championBruce Boyington "Pretty Boy" (17-11) and WEC and UFC veteranJosh “The Fluke” Grispi(14-5).  Boyington has not fought in his home state of Maine in two years, while Grispi has been absent from competition since his release from the UFC in 2013. Boyington previously held the promotion’s lightweight title before vacating it to sign with the World Series of Fighting.

Another lightweight fight announced for “NEF 42” will feature two Maine fan-favorites asJosh “Hook On” Harvey(7-0-1) posa el seu rècord invicte en la línia contraJesse “The Viking” Erickson (9-8).  Harvey is the reigning NEF Pro Featherweight Champion and one of the top prospects in the entire country. Erickson will be looking to bounce back from a loss last summer in his attempt to capture the lightweight strap.

A third pro fight was announced for “NEF 42” that will feature localsDominic “Domnation” Jones (2-3) iCarl Langston (0-4).  Jones most recently competed for global promotion Bellator on a fight card in Connecticut.

Four amateur title fights will headline the card. It will be the first time since “NEF 9” in August 2013 that an amateur fight has been the main event of one of the promotion’s cards. (Of note, “NEF 9” was an all amateur event.)

“NEF 41” will also mark the first time a women’s bout has headlined one of the promotion’s events as undefeatedGlory “The Fury” Watson (6-0) adquireixCara Greenwell(9-4) to crown the inaugural NEF Amateur Women’s Strawweight Champion.

“Killa” Kam Arnold (5-1) will defend the NEF Amateur Bantamweight strap against Walt Shea (3-1) in the evening’s co-main event. Arnold has held the title since June 2018 and most recently defended it at “NEF 38” last spring with a 21-second knockout of Henry Clark (5-5).

NEF DROWNS PORTLAND WITH RIPTIDE BEFORE CAPACITY CROWD; CHOI INSTITUTE SHINES IN PRO FIGHTS

Leave a comment

Portland, Maine (Abril 15, 2018) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) made its return to Portland on Saturday night with the fight promotion’s latest mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 33: Riptides.” For the second time in as many events at the venue, NEF packed Aura with a sold-out crowd.

On the amateur portion of the card, Kam Arnold (3-0) continued his winning ways with a highlight-reel, one-punch knockout of David Thompson (1-3). Arnold, a hot prospect out of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in nearby Lewiston, Maine, dropped Thompson with a right hand in the first round to remain undefeated.

Walt Shea (3-1) i Nate Boucher (2-3) met in the amateur headliner at a catchweight of 130-pounds. Both athletes were looking to bounce back from losses in their last respective NEF appearances, but it was Shea who took the victory late in the third round when referee Kevin MacDonald stopped the fight due to strikes.

BOUCHER AND SHEA MEET AT THE CROSSROADS FOR PORTLAND MMA FIGHT

Leave a comment

Portland, Maine (Abril 6, 2018) – Nate Boucher grew up in the world of amateur wrestling, where the rewards, penalties and path to winning and losing are cut-and-dried.

 

 

 

 

Takedown, two points. Escape, one point. Reversal, two points. The same clock that tells everyone how much time remains in the fight consistently informs the fighters where they stand.

 

 

 

 

In his two most recent sojourns as a mixed martial artist with New England Fights, Boucher, a native of Rumford and graduate of Mountain Valley High School, had no such compass. MMA is a more subjective science. That’s one of the many reasons an impressive winning percentage is harder to come by.

 

 

 

 

“MMA judging is one of the worst things to figure out. There’s not really a solid standard,"Va dir Boucher. “The last two fights didn’t end the way I wanted, òbviament. Part of being an amateur is it gives you a chance to learn what the judges want.”

 

 

 

 

Boucher (2-2) hopes to halt a two-fight losing skid Saturday, Abril 14, when he takes on Walt Shea at “NEF 33: Riptide.” The card will take place at Aura in Portland.

 

 

 

 

A solid contender at the flyweight limit of 125 pounds despite those defeats at the hands of Justin Witham and Ryan Burgess, Boucher will meet Shea in the middle at a catch weight of 130.

 

 

 

 

Staying busy is part of Boucher’s strategy to learn everything he can about the sport, even if the immediate lessons are frustrating and humbling.

 

 

 

 

 

The criteria for MMA judging, in order of priority, are effective striking, effective grappling, effective aggressiveness and fighting area control. Boucher learned the hard way that his style may have cost him the ‘W’ in both the title fight against Witham and the hometown showdown versus Burgess.

 

 

 

 

“Everybody just kind of goes with whoever is throwing more punches. People don’t seem to care if you’re on top the whole time or not,"Va dir Boucher. "Però, ja saps, I can complain, or I can adapt.”

 

 

 

 

Boucher pointed out that the two judges who saw the fight go Burgess’ way had it two rounds to one, 1 29-28 marge, mentre que la 30-27 assessment in his favor indicated that he had won every round.

 

 

 

 

Best-case scenario, per descomptat, is to end it early, the way Boucher did with a triangle choke in his second amateur outing against former high school wrestling legend Jeremiah Barkac.

 

 

 

 

“Even though I lost the last two fights, they couldn’t have gone any better for me as far as learning the game goes,"Va dir Boucher. “It’s kind of opened my eyes a lot more, not necessarily to anything about myself, but as far as what the judges are looking for. It’s helping me learn more about the sport.”

 

 

 

 

Even though the fight is five pounds above Boucher’s natural weight, how he performs will have a heavy impact on whether he is still considered a viable threat in the 125-pound class or takes a huge step backward.

 

 

 

 

“Nate called me about a week after his fight with Burgess and said, straight up, ‘Get me back in there in April, and I want a tough opponent,’” NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson said. “He has a lot on the line in this one. A loss leaves him with a long climb back.”

 

 

 

 

The crossroads clash with Shea (2-1) is sure to be a learning experience. Shea, who trains of out of First Class MMA in Topsham, also lost his last fight. Fred Lear won that August battle for the vacant amateur bantamweight title on his home turf in Bangor.

 

 

 

 

No battle in the hexagon has been as daunting for Shea as his personal journey to get there. He initially followed his cousin, Nicholas, to the MMA gym as part of a fitness regimen after his weight crested at more than 270 lliura.

 

 

 

 

En altres paraules, when he walks through the door on any given fight night, Shea is literally half the man he used to be.

 

 

 

 

“I was just going there to train a little bit in jiu-jitsu, and John (Rayo) said to me, ‘Before we’re through, I’m going to get you in the cage.’ I’m thinking, ‘Yeah, dret,’” Shea said. “I lost about 80 pounds right off the bat training with those guys. It got me healthy, and then it was kind of, why not take the next step?"

 

 

 

 

Shea now walks around at 155 a 160 lliura. He is making a slightly deeper weight cut this time, and fighting a natural flyweight, to find out if the title picture in that division is an attainable goal.

 

 

 

 

Guanyi o perdi, if his inspirational story helps a fan or friend make the commitment to a healthier lifestyle, Shea is all for it.

 

 

 

 

“It’s a lot better than standing on a treadmill,” Shea said of his unique path to fitness. “I tell people if you can just find one aspect of MMA that works for you – the grappling, the striking, whatever – it’s a great workout.”

 

 

 

 

Boucher said he has nothing but high esteem for Shea’s circuitous route to success in the sport. Admittedly, without a title up for grabs or a so-called grudge match in his sights, motivation could be more elusive.

 

 

 

 

The former Falcon, who trains out of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lewiston, insisted that won’t be a problem.

 

 

 

 

“That’s an impressive accomplishment. I’m very respectful of that. Not just anybody can start out where Walt did and get in the cage for a fight at 125, 130 lliura,"Va dir Boucher. “Unfortunately when you’re talking MMA, not every ending is like a fairy tale. I’m going in there to win the fight, to end it early and leave no doubt, not leave it in the hands of the judges this time.”

 

 

 

 

Doors open for “NEF 33: Riptide” at 6 p.m. en dissabte, Abril 14. Per butlletes, anomenada 207.772.8274 o anar a www.auramaine.com.

BOUCHER & SHEA LOOKING TO BOUNCE BACK FROM LOSSES AT NEF 33

Leave a comment

Portland, Maine (Febrer 8, 2018) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) torna a Aura a Portland Abril 14, 2018 amb el següent esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de la promoció lluita, “NEF 33: Riptides.” El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card. Nate Boucher (2-2) s'enfrontarà a Walt Shea (2-1) amb un pes de baralla de 130 lliures-.

 

 

 

 

Nate Boucher will be looking to bounce back from back-to-back losses in the NEF cage. The former wrestler from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine lost very close split decisions at both “NEF 31” i “NEF 32″ recentment. The first was an amateur flyweight title fight against Justin Witham (4-4) a Portland. El passat cap de setmana, Boucher dropped his second split decision in as many events to Ryan Burgess (3-2) in a number-one-contender’s fight. Prior to those two losses, Boucher had been undefeated in the NEF cage. He currently trains with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) a Lewiston, Maine.

 

 

 

 

“I’m coming off of two close back-to-back losses, but I’m still committed to my goal of one day winning the NEF championship belt,” said Boucher. “Rather than sit on the sidelines, I’m getting right back in there in April. Walt Shea is coming off of his title fight loss to Fred Lear last August, so I know he will be motivated to get back in the win column too. Two motivated guys that are hungry to get back to their winning ways are the ingredients for an awesome battle. No puc esperar!"

 

 

 

 

Like Boucher, Walt Shea was undefeated prior to his last loss in the NEF cage. Shea had defeated Joel Downing (0-1) a “NEF 25” and then Alan Bustamante (0-1) a “NEF 27.” Both victories came by way of unanimous decision. Shea earned himself a shot at the NEF amateur bantamweight strap, but lost to Fred Lear (6-2) by TKO in the second round at “NEF 30” l'estiu passat. Shea is a member of First Class MMA in Brunswick, Maine.

 

 

 

 

“I’m excited to be finally making my return to the cage at ‘NEF 33,'” said Shea. “I was live for my opponent Nate’s last two fights – both razor close decisions that could have gone his way, but didn’t. I’m expecting a technical battle with a chance for some exciting grappling exchanges. I’m hoping to put on a show for the fans.”

 

 

 

 

NEF torna a Portland, Maine, a Aura on Dissabte, Abril 14, 2018. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.AuraMaine.com. Per a més informació sobre l'esdeveniment, si us plau visiti www.NewEnglandFights.com.

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.

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.

A NEW NEF BANTAMWEIGHT CHAMPION WILL BE CROWNED IN BANGOR

Leave a comment

PER PUBLICACIÓ IMMEDIATA: Bangor, Maine (Juny 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 announced the addition of an amateur championship bantamweight contest to the fight card. Fred Lear (5-2) té previst reunir- Walt Shea (2-0) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur 135-pound championship.

A member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Lear is riding a two-fight win streak into the first hometown fight of his career. In February of this year, Lear defeated Shea’s First Class MMA teammate Michael Crespo (3-3) with a second-round technical knockout. He is a finisher, with all but one of Lear’s five victories coming by way of technical knockout or submission. He is promising local fans a crowd-pleasing fight against Shea on 5 d'agost.

“Walt Shea has shown tremendous poise and fortitude in his back-to-back wins,” proclaimed Lear. “My job over the next eight weeks is to work hard, stay humble, and listen to my teammates and coaches who have carried me to this point in my career. This is an extraordinary opportunity and it is my responsibility to seize it. This isn’t about myself or an ammy title. This is about Bangor and delivering on the fight this town deserves.”

Walt Shea has been to the judges’ scorecards twice in his time with NEF, and twice Shea has emerged victorious. He made his debut last September with a split decision win over Joel Downing (0-1). Shea followed up that appearance with a unanimous decision over Alan Bustamante (0-1) earlier this year at “NEF 27.” He is a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine, as well as The Foundry in Farmington, Maine.

“It’s an honor to be fighting for the amateur 135-pound title at “NEF 30,'” said Shea. “Honestament, it’s hard to believe considering almost two years ago I was just an overweight fan watching my cousin Nick Shea compete in the cage. El meu oponent, Fred Lear, is a tough kid who comes from another tough gym in Young’s MMA and always brings a ton of energy into the cage, so be ready for a war of cardio and willpower from each of us. I’d like to thank my family for standing behind me in this adventure, along with my head coach at First Class MMA, John Ray, and all my other outstanding coaches and my talented teammates.”

"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.
