CONTROVERSIAL FIGHT WILL GET A REMATCH AT NEF 43 IN ORONO

Ħalli kumment

GĦALL-ĦRUĠ IMMEDJAT: Orono, Maine (Frar 28, 2020) - Tissielet New England (NEF) will present its next mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. L-avveniment, titled “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card. Caleb “Dr. Feelgood” Austin (4-0) se jiffaċċjaw James Ploss (1-2) at a fight weight of 125 liri.

The bout will be a rematch of the first fight between Austin and Ploss that took place three years prior in April 2017 at “NEF 28.” Austin was declared the winner of that first contest, but not without controversy. Seconds into the first round, Ploss had a tight guillotine choke applied to Austin. Austin tapped out, but the referee was out of position to see the tap. Ploss released Austin from the hold, thinking he had won the fight. The referee, to Ploss’ bewilderment, ordered the fight to continue. As Ploss tried to make sense of the situation, Austin took him down and finished the fight moments later by technical knockout.

In the days that followed, many were critical of Austin on social media. The matter seemed to die down after a few days, only to be brought back to the forefront with a vengeance late last year when former UFC and WEC star Mike Brown (26-9) shared the clip on Twitter as an example of “fighting until the referee tells you to stop.” Suddenly, the fight received global attention from major online news sources likeBloody Elbow, MMA Junkie, The Athletic, uL-Underground.

The first fight with Ploss was Caleb Austin’s amateur MMA debut. He was 18-years-old at the time and still a senior at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Austin was a standout wrestler in high school, putting together a record of 208-11 over four years and winning state titles at 126 pounds his junior and senior years. He was named the 2017 “Wrestler of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal. After graduation, Austin continued his wrestling career at the University of Southern Maine, but he took the next two years off from MMA competition. He returned last summer and has won three fights in a row since he made his comeback. Austin currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) fil Lewiston, Maine.

“I’m excited to finally be able to fight James again to gain some closure,” said Austin of the rematch with Ploss. “My MMA debut has haunted me since it happened almost three years ago. I’m thankful to James and his team for giving me this opportunity to get back in there with him. I’ve wanted this for a long time and I promise to make the most of the moment. When I exit the cage this time, it will be without question or controversy—it will end definitively.”

James Ploss went on to fight two more times in 2017 and has not competed since. He is a member of Greg Williams’ Team Kaze based in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Like Austin, Ploss will be looking for closure to the outcome of their first encounter.

“I’m grateful for a rematch with Caleb,” said Ploss. “Reflecting, I have pondered the question, ‘Am I better than Caleb or is he better than me?’ This is the perfect chance to find out—a second chance for us both to give it our all and see who comes out on top giving the fans, MMA community, and both of us the rematch we all want! April 18, we both test ourselves.”

New England tissielet’ next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 43: Rampage,” will take place on Saturday, April 18, 2020, at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine Orono. Biljetti jinsabu għall-bejgħ issa filwww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.

MILL K. David Bena

UFC, PRIDE, WEC, WFA, IFLA, Strikeforce. Biss ONE FIGHTER stinka għal kulħadd sitta minn dawn il-promozzjonijiet li huma bħalissa taħt l-umbrella Zuffa. Li ġellied? Jeff “Big żrinġijiet” Curran.

Curran truf irtirar tiegħu 19-il xahar u jidħol fil-ottagonu fil RFA 24 fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6 fil-Mystic Lake Casino & Hotel fil Qabel Lake, Minnesota. L-avveniment se tixxandar live u nazzjon fuq AXS TV. Il bantamweight veteran, Curran (36-16-1) se tittestja mettle tiegħu fl-eventwalità ko prinċipali kontra l-Melvin Blumer f'daqqa (11-2) li qed touting 5-ġlieda win Streak.

Think lura għall 1991… X'kont qed tagħmel? Well, Curran kien wiesa eyed 14-il sena qodma li ddeċieda li jħarreġ Jiu-Jitsu. Curran jispjega, “Ewwel klassi My, Tgħallimt xi ħaġa imsejħa "żebgħa l-art’ magħrufa wkoll bħala Americana u kont naf dan huwa dak li ridt tagħmel u I biss kompliet taħriġ Jiu-Jitsu qatt peress. I tinżamm l-enfasi fuq myself bħala atleta u qlubija u ħaġa waħda tinżamm jwassal għall-ieħor.”

Fast-quddiem sa Awissu 16, 2013 fi RFA 9, Curran mitlufa deċiżjoni qasma fil-ġlieda titolu bantamweight kontra Pedro Munhoz. “I rtirati wara l-aħħar ġlieda tiegħi fil-RFA. Stajt ġġieldu għal titolu dinja u kienu f'kull juru maġġuri fl-isport u kien ġlieda, f'dak iż-żmien, għall 17 snin. I biss ħassew li man-negozju tiegħi u l-ġinnasju, fejn I kien f'dak l-istadju fil-ħajja tiegħi, gidjien tiegħi u l-familja, Ħsibt li kien żmien li jirtiraw.”

Curran żżid, “Iżda, prinċipalment, I ma riedx li tkun it-tieni l-aħjar, Jien qatt ma riedu li jkun medju bħala ġellied. Ladarba I ħass il-ħolma kienet marret jew l-opportunità kienet marret biex jitilgħu lura lill-UFC, għall-ġlieda kontra l-guys aqwa fid-dinja, I ħass li kien aħjar li tieqaf peress prime tiegħi tip ta għadda.”

Madankollu, wara introspection bir-reqqa u x-xewqa smoldering li jkomplu ġlied, Curran iddeċidew li pass lura fil-gaġġa. “Jien ridt li tirbaħ il-ġlieda, jirbħu l-ċinturin, u jmorru fuq nett. I ħass li jkun mod admirable reali biex jirtiraw, iżda hija ma tmurx tiegħi mod. So I rtirati – u qatt ma sib ukoll miegħi,” Curran spjegat. “U l-aktar ħin li marru fuq, I ħass il-ħtieġa tal-ġlieda. I bdiet tfittex għal opportunitajiet u RFA misjuba opportunità għalija biex jiġġieldu darb'oħra. Allura hawnhekk I am.”

Juggling rwoli bħala raġel tal-familja, bniedem tan-negozju, coach, u ġlied jista 'jagħmel spin ras xi nies, imma Curran jispjega, “Kelli ġinnasju tiegħi qabel I kellhom ġlieda ewwel tiegħi, so I kien dejjem użat għar-responsabbiltà ta 'qsim ħin tiegħi, iżda issa huwa ħafna aktar fil-fond milli jintuża biex tkun minħabba ġellieda tiegħi huma f'livelli differenti u jeħtieġu aktar ħin. Business huwa wkoll fuq livell differenti – u Għandi żewġ subien li qed jikbru malajr mill-jum u I għandhom marti. Hemm responsabbiltà madwar l-bord u huwa aktar milli kien 'skeda għaqli milli lura meta I kien jiftħu skola. Yeah, huwa ħafna juggle, imma jien jagħmlu dan.”

Permezz responsabbiltajiet kollha tiegħu, Curran żżomm tiffoka għall-ġlieda li jmiss tiegħu mal-Melvin Blumer perikolużi, “Rebħa tiegħu Streak titkellem volumi, speċjalment fil-punent nofsani minħabba ħafna mill-guys inti ġlieda huma pjuttost simili fil-qawwa u s-sengħa sett, hekk ikollok l-kompetizzjoni iebsa u promoturi lokali fil-punent nofsani huma dejjem tfittex li jitpoġġew fuq tissielet tajba. A Guy li hija 11-2 (Blumer) u fuq 5-ġlieda win Streak huwa impressjonanti lili u huwa eżattament dak li nixtieq.”

Curran tkompli tispjega, “Ma rridx biex jiġġieldu xi BUM jew għall-ġlieda xi ħadd I know I tista 'taħbit. Irrid li jiġġieldu xi ħadd li jista 'jisfida lili u let me know jekk I għadhom jappartjenu fil-logħba jew jagħtu me l-sens dritt ta' tlestija jekk nirbaħ, hekk Blumer s avversarju kbir. Blumer hija iebsa. I jagħtih rigward biżżejjed biex iħarrġu ħmar tiegħi off u jikkura lilu bħala top għaxar Guy. Iżda ma 'dak li qal, Naf jien aqwa għaxar kalibru, hekk jien jġibu kollox sibt u naħseb li se tagħmel għal ġlieda tajba.”

U dak li huwa pass li Curran ta jmiss b'rebħa? Anke hu ma jkunx ċert, “I do not know dak pass li jmiss tiegħi huwa. I ma tagħmel definit mod deċiżjoni jew ieħor. Biex inkun onest, I know I meta mitlufa, irtirar ma tajbin tajjeb miegħi, iżda bil-dritt jirbaħ l-aktar probabbli jista, iżda fl-istess ħin mal-win dritt, I jistgħu jiksbu l-attenzjoni tal-UFC u tiddeċiedi jekk irrid li chase ewwel rebħa tiegħi UFC.”

Fuq Il-ġimgħa, Marzu 6, Curran u jaraw kulħadd se tkun qed tistaqsi x'inhuma l- “Big żrinġijiet tal-” venture li jmiss fil-ħajja se jkun.
