WOMEN CONTINUE TO EXCEL IN THE NEF MMA CAGE

Lewiston, Maine (Kia 17, 2016) – Just days removed from hosting a “Whawhai o te Tau” candidate in Hyannis, Massachusetts between Kylie O’Hearn (1-0) a Angela Young (1-2), New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef) announced that the fight promotion’s cage would host another women’s amateur bout in Lewiston on June 18, 2016. I “Nef 24: PROMISED LAND,” NEF veteran Alex Walker (0-1) returns to the cage to meet newcomer Nicole Burgess (0-0) in an amateur strawweight bout.

 

Walker arrived in NEF in the spring of 2015 to face Randi Beth Boyington (1-3) in what was the cage debut for both women. Just like O’Hearn and Young did this past weekend in Hyannis, Walker and Boyington stole the show at “NEF 17.” They battled tooth-and-nail for three rounds before Boyington took a unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards.

 

Walker is expected to give another “Whawhai o te Po” performance atNEF 24after an injury forced her out of competition for the past year. Those who know her, including her coach and teammates at Team Kaze in Lancaster, New Hampshire, say that Walker lives to fight. Being unable to climb into the cage for so long has made Walker more determined than ever.

 

I can’t wait to fight in Maine again,” exclaimed Walker when reached for comment. “I had an injury last year, a month after my fight with Randi Beth. I am recovered and ready to go. It killed me to be on the sidelines. I feel like I earned some respect and some fans in Maine and I don’t want to lose that. I am sure this girl will be ready, but she won’t be ready for me! Between life’s hardships, surgery, parekura, and whatever else, I will not quit until I am successful! It would mean a lot to me to get my first W in front of the Maine fans on June 18th!”

 

Standing opposite Walker on Pipiri 18 will be Nicole Burgess. If the name sounds familiar to NEF fans, it should. She is the sister of NEF MMA fighter Ryan Burgess (2-0). Ryan is the reigning NEF MMA Amateur Flyweight Champion. The undefeated streak of the Burgess family in the NEF cage will be on her shoulders atNEF 24.

 

Burgess, he Māori o Mexico, Maine, wrestled and played field hockey for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine prior to attending Plymouth State University in Plymouth, New Hampshire. While at Mountain Valley, she placed three times at states in wrestling. She currently trains with Berserkers MMA.

 

I’m excited about this opportunity to finally get in the cage,” Said Burgess. “After seeing my brother win the title at 125, it really amped me up to take this on since I’ve been wrestling with him for years. This will be an opportunity to show people what I’m made of. I’m ready for a fight.

 

Women’s fights have stolen the show at three different NEF events in the past year,” stated NEF matchmaker and co-owner Matt Peterson. “This one will be no different. Women’s fights in MMA are not a novelty. From the regional level right up to the UFC, female athletes are excelling to heights unseen in other sports. The sky is the limit for Nicole and Alex. I can’t wait for this one!”

An Open FU to UFC President DanaEffing” White!

wtf

By: Rich Bergeron

Those who know me personally would all say I am a mellow individual, until you seriously cross me, rite, for instance, if you become the subject of an investigative report I’m working on, ranei sue me for $25 miriona. Sometimes I may take things like that as a sign you might not want me to really find out who you are and what you do behind closed doors to screw hard working people over.

This week, a certain individual who won’t even let me follow him in Twitter (https://twitter.com/danawhite) pissed me off to the point where I could only think of one thing to do. Because I’m officially blacklisted in every possible way by the UFC brass, and have even had restraining orders placed against my directly contacting the Fertittas and ANY UFC fighter, my best option is to publish a drastic diatribe here I am just going to call myOPEN FUto DanaEffing” White.

I’m sure Mr. White will not take my calls or subject himself to a one on one interview with me. Na, I will have to settle for a written FUand a multi-tiered and multi-purpose FU.

FU, DanaEffing” White… for many, many reasonstoo many for one small blog post to do justice, but let’s just say Most of all FU….

For what you THINK you know about Holly Holm

Hey, Dana, you wanna talk about youreffingreality showLooking For a Fight????” I was actually looking for a fight when I watched that old realityshit show when you were supposed to box Tito Ortiz, but HE magically backed out at the last minute.

Na, you, DANAEFFINGWHITE, are telling Holly Holm about a decision YOU think she didn’t think through enough??? And now you act like someone pissed in your Wheaties because you have two upset wins at UFC 196 to work around and figure out how to make sense of somehow.

Booeffinghoo, buddy.

Welcome to how things don’t go as planned sometimes in the fight business, you ungrateful prick.

Do you wanna be aneffing” Kaiwhakatairanga, Danaeffing” White???

Holly Holm Was the Bantamweight Champion of the UFC when she allowed HER Manager (not Danaeffing” White) to negotiate the Tate fight on her behalf, and she knew (and her long-time manager knew, rawa) what she was doing and what she wanted. And guesseffingwhat, Dana? She wanted to fight.

Aroha mai, DanaEffing” White, but Holly didn’t want to sit on aneffingsideline waiting for Ronda Rousey to finish hereffingROADHOUSE REMAKE!

Holly wanted to go to workbut unfortunately she has to work for a boss who has no idea what it’s like to step into HER office and handle HER daily workload with such tenacity, piha haapiiraa, dignity and grace.

And I think maybe she looks back a bit differently than you do, Dana, with noeffingregrets whatsoever for putting her absolute all into that fight and just plain getting caught in her one area of weakness in a battle where she likely would have won a three-round fight. Maybe if YOU were a fighter, Dana, you might get that whole concept. Maybe losing in this case only makes her better, kaha, and more durable as a career mixed martial artist. Who gives a damn if it makes her less marketable in your eyes? What do you really know, ahakoa?

UNLIKE YOU, DanaEffing” White, Holly actually respects Miesha Tate and thought it would be a challenge to fight her. Yeah, she lost, but damn, she was absolutely correct about it being a challenge. I think the fight will go down as one of the greatest battles in female MMA history.

Na, why don’t you open youreffingeyes, Dana, watch the fight again, and quit bitching about what should have happened in that cage you never fought in yourself.

Be grateful you have a champion you just paid $92,000 in fight pay (before bonuses) to take your organization’s belt from the girl you WANTED TO WIN (and paid $500,000 just to be there). It may not be what you expected, but the anxiety you feel about it is what you DESERVE to feel for being such a douchebag to the fighters who built the UFC.

My biggest questions on this subject for Dana are: Why are you such a biased, crooked asshole who can’t bother to give Miesha the time of day FOR ALL HER HARD WORK? Why can’t you give credit where it is dueon both sides of that fight? Why can’t you shut theeffup about what you think Holly or her management should have or could have waited for?

It’s not your place to look back with 20/20 hindsight and act like Holly and her manager should have gone all Nostradamus on this fight when you obviously didn’t see this shit coming, rānei, you dome-headed dimwit.

Toa “effing” whawhai, Dana. That’s what theyeffingdo, which you should know, since I am pretty sure you used to be aneffingmanager of MMA fighters yourself. Ae, that was many moons ago, but how could you forget?

Fighters don’t sit on their asses on corporate jets and stand at podiums in front of the press all day to earn theeffingpaltry paychecks your organization pays out to most of them. Most fighters simply cannot afford to wait around for shit to happen or for someoneworthyenough in your eyes to step up and fight them.

Some fighters need to feed their kids. All of them need to pay their bills and for everything else involved with training camps, daily living expenses, travel and whatever costs medical insurance doesn’t cover when they have to address nagging injuries. Your shitty Reebok deal made it virtually impossible to get any other outside sponsors to help pay for anything like that stuff for many fighters, Dana.

Welcome to selling out and forgetting where you came from, Dana. You used to care more about fighters. Now you act like fighting in a cage is just like doing any other 9-5 mahi. It’s not. Te reira “effinghard work.

Na, yeah, Holly chose to fight instead of waiting for Rousey to be ready for the rematch. And you think she needs your opinion now that everything didn’t work out as planned for you both?

FU, Dana.

She hurts a lot worse than you, and I can guaran-effing-tee that.

Aue…a…i te ara…fighters are way more responsible for the growth and success of the UFC/Zuffa organization than you ever have been. And that’s real talk, you rich bitch with a stick up your ass because you were never good enough in your life to ever have your own official fight.

Na, get over the God complex and learn to respect ALL of your fighters, not just the ones you want to see win because you might think you can work with them better or you think they will move the organization in a better direction. Respect the effort, the sacrifice and the pain ALL your fighters go through each and every day to get where they get. That belt you put on Miesha’s waist was EARNED, and don’t you ever think it iseffingcool to call the fact that Holly Holm had the guts to face Miesha Tatea mistake.

It rings hollow, especially when I would consider that handing you a microphone to talk about MMA at all was THE greatest mistake the sport ever made, wā! Anyone who would try to knock a former champion down a peg that way in his own organization does not deserve to be recognized as that organization’s president.

You have no clue what it’s really like to fight, and your criticism of Holly Holm tells me you can never possibly understand the mindset that led her to take the Tate fight and not wait an idle year for RondaeffingRousey to be ready to appear at one of your precious shows.

Na, FU Dana White for treating your former champ like she’s an idiot who doesn’t know how to control her own career without you butting your stupid, bald head into it. Holly’s fine without your advice, and she trusts her manager, which might be something you’re not familiar with, but for other people it is actually a reality of doing business with legitimate people.

 

FU, Dana for being a piss-poor ambassador for the sport, disrespecting fighters who bleed (and sometimes suffer lifelong injuries) for you and the sport, and totally underestimating and failing to grasp what it really takes to actually be a professional fighter who actually competes against other fighters

Do you remember the days when you had to settle for being a lowly boxercise instructor because your boxing trainer Boston slapped you too hard in the ear once? You never had a single competitive fight in your life, Danaeffing” White, and that’s a DOCUMENTED FACT!

Do you ever even look back at those days before the silver-spoon-fed Fertittas helped you claw your greedy, selfish, egotistical ass into the position of OFFICIAL UFC MOUTHPIECE?

Do you remember those hairy days when you blew through $40 million of Fertitta funds to perpetrate theZuffa Mythwhile claiming credit for the UFC brass singlehandedly legitimizing the sport and getting it regulated all by youreffingselves? As if not a single FIGHTER nor any other industry professional who pioneered MMA before you dipped your greedy little paws into it had anything to do with it?

Your Mom remembers thosecoulda been a contender” ra, Dana..when you thought you might be able to have an actual fight with another human being. Your own mother remembers even though you and one of your sleazy friends tried to silence her, BASH HER ONLINE, and even blacklist her BOOK, rawa.

Do you remember the days when even Floyd Mayweather, JR. thought you were cool, back when your daily driver was aneffingHonda, Dana? Floyd Remembers. He knew you long before you could afford to blow a normal person’s yearly pay on a single hand of poker.

You’re in a different place now, Danaeffing” White, and it’s a delusional place. Like on the distant planet you live on, people actually believe YOU really, tika, trulyeffingknow what it’s ACTUALLY like to be aneffingfighter? Do you actually believe YOU somehow could ever REALLY know that feeling?

REALLY?

E mohio ana koe what A FIGHTER is, don’t you, Dana? A fighter is a man or woman who has the courage to willingly step into unarmed combat against another actual man or woman instead of just criticizing up and down the guys and girls who do have the guts to actually stand across from another human being while knowing and internalizing that the accepted goal is to physically destroy each other.

A fighter, in more simple terms, Ko “one who fights.And let’s be clear about oneeffingthing, Danaeffing” White, I know fighters, a YOU are no fighter.

You are nothing like a fighter, Danaeffing” White, and you nevereffing” ka waiho. You are too weak, both physically and mentally. Until we see you go through a six-week training camp and then get into the cage against someone and kick his ass, we shouldn’t have to listen to one damncoulda,” “shoulda,” ranei “wouldaout of your cornfed mouth about what you think of any particular fighter’s performance or decision making process. Those people have the guts to do what you will NEVER do yourself, and you ought to respect that.

FU Dana WhiteFor not recognizing Real Fighters Like Miesha Tate and Nate Diaz who keep at it no matter what and NEVER seem to earn your ULTIMATE RESPECT….

Nate Diaz stepped up to fight Conor McGregor for a reason. He had nothing to lose, and he wasn’t intimidated one bit. He famoulsy went on television with Fox Sports 1 on a split screen with Conor before that welterweight fight and quipped that his nemesis had already been choked out before, “by two lames.Diaz also had the perfect instinct to add humourously that McGregor’s choke losses happened, “like a week ago.

Diaz beat Conor in the shit-talk game long before he ever slapped him down and slipped that choke around his neck in the cage. The media created by that freakshow fight might have stopped the unchecked rise of your big, bold, six-headed dragon champion, but it created a new monster at the same time. And he’s a Reebok-hating, scowling, swearing, Stockton-slapping Mother-F$#king BEAST who doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about what he does or says.

You might think Diaz and his attitude arebad for business,” but I think his victory was the best thing that could ever happen to all you smug punks running the UFC. It just proves once and for all that you do not control the MMA universe.

Nate Diaz went without respect and credit for being an MMA pioneer and a good UFC soldier for far too long. The bitterness brewed and boiled within him, and I loved every second of him letting it pour out in post-fight interviews after he choked the shit out of Conor until the Irish bloke tapped theeffout and left Dana White drooling in a stupor at the thought of having to congratulate a man who’s become more of a mortal enemy than a member of the bigteam.

More power to Nate and all the crazy, abrasive, in-your-face Diaz brother types out there in the UFC who will fight DanaeffingWhite’s flamboyant fire with even more bravado and brash talk of their own. They can always say, “I learned it by watching you, Baldfather!”

As for Miesha Tate, she deserves true respect and admiration for being champ now after picking herself off the mat twice in the face of grueling losses to Rousey. Kudos to Tate for continuing her career and relentlessly focusing on getting by that Rousey armbar once and for all.

Though Miesha never did solve that Rousey submission dilemma, trying at all costs to get another crack at the belt paid dividends at UFC 196. Her never quit attitude led her to an opportunity of a lifetime, and she capitalized on it. Na, Dana, you actually have to pay this young lady what most of her fans would say she was worth a long time ago.

And now you simply have to treat Tate with a bit of reverence and appreciation for once in your ungrateful life, Danaeffing” White. I know it must pain you so much to give this young lady the credit she’s worked so incredibly hard for, because maybe she touched a nerve when she called you out in the past for being the true clueless and disrespectful prick you really are. She was right, and you were wrong about how great she really is at fighting. Then again, weren’t you also WRONG about women fighting in the cage, wā?

Na, you DON’T wanna be a fighter, Mr. White? Then step aside and let the people who DO wanna be fighters go to battle for you so you can ride around the world on your jet and act like you know what theeffyou’re talking about when you stand in front of a microphone to describe the sport’s true athletes and what they do to make a living in mixed martial arts.

The line from Dana that most stands out to me as comblete BS in this whole debacle is this one:

“He’s an old boxing guy who thinks he’s smart and he isn’t,” White said of Fresquez [Holm’s Manager]. “I feel bad for Holly because I don’t know if she really knows what she lost.”

I have only two moreeffingquestions for you Danaeffing” White…

1.) What makes you think you are really in anyeffingposition to EVER know or understand what Holly Holm lost the other night? Aside from a few bad poker hands and tons of respect, the only thing you ever lost is your mind.

2.) Doesn’t your backhanded quote about Holm’s manager describe your own shitty character a whole lot better than that of Mr. Fresquez?

ME…just in case after reading all this anyone STILL needs yet another reason to have beef with the Baldfather:

Wahine hoki e kingi TE MMA whare herehere i NEF XIX I Lewiston

Lewiston, Maine (August 31, 2015) - New Ingarangi whawhai (Nef), Tau-kotahi whakatairanga whawhai rohe Amerika o, Ka mau i ona tekau ma iwa whakauru-hōia-toi (MMA) takahanga, “NEF XIX,” i runga i Rāhoroi, Mahuru 12, 2015 i te Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. The fight card will feature two amateur women’s bouts. Angela Young (0-0) o te MMA o Young i roto i te Bangor whakaritea ki te hanga ia tuatahi ki Rahera Reinheimer (1-0) from team Sityodtong. Young’s teammate Kira Innocenti (0-0) Kei te whakaritea hoki ki te hanga ia tuatahi ki Hana Sparrell (0-0) i Tuatahi Class MMA i Brunswick.

 

Ko Angela Young te wahine o Chris Young – owner and founder of Young’s MMA. She views her debut fight as a way of testing herself.

 

It’s important for me to test myself,” ka mea Young, “e kore anake i roto i te whare herehere maiMahuru 12, but also through the fight that’s happened the last eight weeks leading up to the NEF event. I feel the fight is essentially a showcase and representation of the grueling training sessions and endless hours in the gym that took place prior to fight night. Living the MMA lifestyle to me meant more than diet modifications and strict training schedules. Athletically, ko reira atu e pā ana kātaki i roto i te mau fifi, me aki oku rohe rite i te whakataetae i roto i te ara kihai i i i whakamatautauria. Ko te pā ana ki ata mohiotia ki ahau, oku kaiako me oku hoa tākaro i roaa e ahau toku tika ki te manga i roto i te whare herehere.”

 

Hea i roto i te wahine mua kua parea ki te mataraharaha, me te minamina ana wahi o ngā hākinakina whawhai, rite mekemeke, e kore kua MMA wahine a ara anake ki te rite tahi te mana ki a te tangata MMA, te mea, i roto i te tahi mau rave'a, surpassed it. One has to look only to the highest level of the sport to see this trend. Women’s fights are now routinely present on the main cards of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). The promotion’s top star, me ona kaipara rawa utua, Ko o ona wahine whā toa Ronda Rousey (12-0). The women competing on the September 12 ka hei kāri i te aronga o te kaupapa ki te whakawhānui i ngā whai wāhitanga mō wahine i te taumata-rohe.

 

“E kore he tino rerekē atu i te mea mo te tangata MMA mō wahine,” kī Young. “Oia mau, MMA Ko te hākinakina nuinga tane, but successful women in the MMA world are on the rise. Na roto i tenei puni whawhai ua uiui e ahau, sparred a nonoke ana raua kapa whawhai a te Feia Apî MMA me kua ratou unrelentingly tautoko. Te riroraa tetahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi o roto o Young o tino nei ona tenge (me te mali ki Mr. Young) but it’s also a spotlight I’m hoping will inspire other women who otherwise wouldn’t have pursued MMA. I would bet the women’s fights on September 12th won’t be unlike the others we’ve seen at prior NEF events. Titau ahau nga wahine ki te hoatu i runga i te whakaatu nui no te e tatou i te tahi mea ki te whakamatau. Kua waiho e ahau te toto, werawera me te roimata ki te whakangungu, me te koe pai whakapono ka whakaatu ahau ki oku hoariri mahi te taua. E te mea, nga wahine e haere ana ki te haere mai i muri i ki reira whakato ratou tĭtĭ i roto i te whare herehere NEF.”

 

Hoa tākaro o rua Young, Kira Innocenti, me te nei tona hoariri i “NEF XIX,” Rahera Reinheimer, titiro ki te whakaae ki te whakaaro a Young i runga i te tupu tere o MMA o te wahine.

 

“Ko Women o MMA i runga i te ara,” Said Innocenti. “Haapii ia ako te wahine te tahi mea e kore ia e mohio e pā ana ia. Kua kite ahau i hanga reira te ti'aturiraa i roto i ahau, me te tini ke atu. Ko te atu wahine i runga i nga whariki, the better. Fans can expect my teammate, Angie, a ki ahau hoatu te reira i to tatou katoa, me te haere ki te whawhai kia rite ki noa te toa tane i MMA o Young e rave. Kua mahi matou pakeke ki te tohu i to tatou omaoma. Ka whawhai matou ki te whakakake, weriweri, a ki te koki kaha titiro atu hoki ia tatou. Ka taea e ahau haapapû atu ia outou e, e pāngia te wahine a fakangalongata'a.”

 

“Women o MMA he tika rite he hākinakina tetahi atu,” kī Reinheimer o Everett, Massachusetts. “Ehara i te he kiriata mahi i reira rere te hero ki te ngahere ki te toru nga ra te whakangungu ki te ariki toi hōia, me te ka patu te ope katoa. Ehara i te he whawhai pae. Ehara i te he pehipehi kūiti hoki. Enei wahine he kaitäkaro nui nei whakangungu ata mo tau mā te whakamahi i te whakangungu pai, taputapu me ngā rauemi e wātea ana. Women nei whakataetae i roto i te hākinakina whawhai fakamoleki mano o haora o te toto, werawera me te roimata te tino ratou hākinakina. Hanga ana e ratou patunga tapu. I tua atu, reira ture me ngā tepe wā me whakatūpatotanga haumaru e. A, no te tangata he tauhou ki te whakaaro o MMA o te wahine, Whakarite e ahau ki te mekemeke taiapa ranei, something else that people are more familiar with. The pool of women fighters in New England is deepening fast and the fact that there are more women’s bouts on fight cards reflects that. Toku hoariri, me te ahau he i nui e rua, puni pukumahi. He whaea e rua matou, a e te reira te rota o te faaotiraa, me te puku ki te mahi i tēnei hākinakina i te hunga maminga, mahi me ngā tamariki. Kua mahi ahau i kaha ki taku rōpū mai i toku whawhai whakamutunga ki te whakapai ake i toku kēmu i roto i nga āhuatanga. Na mauruuru no te whakangungu mīharo me hoa tākaro i Sityodtong e pana ahau kia pakeke ahau. I te Mahuru 12, Ka taea e koe e mahara he whawhai.”

 

Te nuinga o te taata, e rua nga tangata me nga wahine, who join MMA gyms do not do so initially intending to become an active cage fighter. On any given day, one can walk into any MMA gym and find a diverse population of trainees. Men and women, tawhito, e te taitamariki, kara puru, me te kara ma, all train side by side. Most will never step foot in a cage in front of thousands of screaming fans. Most are there to get in shape or learn self-defense. Some, Heoi, E ngaua e te bug whakataetae.

 

“I whakaurua e ahau ki te ao MMA i muri i te hainatanga taku tamahine ki he ngaahi kalasi Jiu Jitsu te whakaaro 'e' aonga ki a ia mo whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina te āhuatanga korero whaiaro,” haamana'o Hanna Sparrell. “I ahau i tiaki rite hinga ia i roto i te aroha ki te kēmu, whiwhi kaha me te māia, and was quick to decide that it was something I needed to be doing too. It didn’t take long before I fell in love with Jiu Jitsu myself, a ka mutunga hiahia ki te tūhura i te tahi atu mau tuhaa o te ao MMA. Te riroraa i roto i te omaoma hei kua he whare tuarua mo ahau me taku tamahine, oku hoa whakangungu, a second family. Every day I walk through the doors of the gym is a test, te reira i te tamataraa o te tākaro, me te pai, hei whakamatautau ano i te puku hinengaro, ā-whatumanawa. Mai i whakaurua ki te ao toi hōia whakauru kua hoatu e ahau toku tinana, ngakau, me te wairua ki te whakangungu, a whakataetae i roto i tenei a'ee he nui ki ahau mo te maha ngā take, e kore anake ki te tohu ahau me toku mahi pakeke, engari ki te hoki tohu katoa te mahi pakeke, fakatapui, me te faaitoitoraa i riro mai i ahau i oku hoa, e tohutohu ana, hoa whakangungu, and fellow fighters along the way. I think MMA training for woman is a great outlet for many reasons, te reira i te pae tino ko te īngoa nui, a ka he ano hoki he ahua pai o "therapy" i te mutunga o te ra pea taumaha. I ahau he tini nga wahine whakangungu ahau ki, e kore e whakamahere i katoa o ratou i runga i whawhai, engari nga painga o te hākinakina e tonu i reira, a ka aroha ratou i te reira noa te taua.”

 

Innocenti, rite maha, ka whai wāhi i roto i te hākinakina whawhai rite te ara ki te tiki i roto i, a noho i roto i, shape. Little did she know when her journey started some two years ago that it would take her into an MMA cage with thousands watching her compete.

 

“Te whakamatautau i ahau i roto i te a'ee toi hōia whakauru he nui ki ahau i roto i maha i te pā. E rua tau ki muri, Ko ahau te taumaha, me te aro ki te kitea he hauora, ara fakahoko. Kotahi ra, Ara ahau ki runga ka mau ki te ora i nga kingi, i roto i te hawhe tau, ngaro e ono tekau pauna i runga i toku ake. Pōwhiritia ahau e wero, muri, e ua hinaaro te tahi. Arona “He whakangungu” Lacey korerotia ki ahau e pā ana ki MMA o Young, a meinga ana e ahau ki te taki i te reira i roto i. I muri takahi i roto i te tatau, tamata i katoa o te akomanga, me te whakatutuki i te whānau nei i hanga te reira na motuhake, I potae, ahau. Hanga e ahau te reira i te opuaraa ia kia kotahi te whawhai wahine tuatahi i runga i te rōpū whawhai Ninety tino whaimana i roto New England o. Kua tonu ahau i te kaiwhakataetae. He pārekareka ki ahau wero ahau me aki rohe e whakaaro ki te e taea ki te whakatutuki i. Te oraraa i te āhua toi hōia whakauru he uaua. E titau te reira nui atu fakatapui atu ahau ake whakaaro taea. Wawahi te reira koutou ka hanga i a koutou hoki ki te tangata e koe pono e. He mea nui tenei whawhai, no te mea kua pahuatia ano e ahau ki te kapa mīharo i toku taha whakaako e te i te kaiako te nuinga o whakaihiihi me te akiaki. Ko ahau fakapapau'i ki te hanga whakakake ratou, ka whakawhetai ki a ratou ki toku ringa i ara.”

 

“Mixed Arts ko te whakamātautau hopea o te wairua o te tangata i runga i nga taumata: te pae tino, hinengaro, , ā-waiora,” Na ka mea a Reinheimer. “I ahau i te hiahia tahu ki te mohio pehea te tawhiti e taea e ahau te haere. I like exceeding expectations and pushing my limits and that’s MMA in a nutshell. Since I started training in martial arts, hei toku ora, kua rohe-iti.
