Ranije danas, promociji najavio borbu karticu za događaj koji sadrži punu škriljca profesionalnih i amaterskih MMA Borba.

 

Ovaj događaj je podesno pod nazivom “Povratak kući” as it will feature the returns of several athletes who have either been recently inactive or competing outside the NEF umbrella. One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) iz Ithaca, Njujork. Maine and the NEF cage became a home-away-from-home for Heyliger and several of his Bombsquad teammates during the early days of the promotion. Heyliger competed regularly for NEF in 2012 and early 2013. His last appearance in the cage was in May 2013 protiv Marcus “The Irish Hand Grenade” Davis (22-11) u glavnom slučaju “NEF VII.” Heyliger will make his return on Septembar 12 protiv Brandon Chagnon (5-4) od Sityodtong.

Denning made his professional debut last November with a win over Derek Shorey (2-2). He will return in front of his hometown crowd against Zenon “Ka-bar” Herrera(0-1).

 

Govoreći o rodnom gradu boraca, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (5-4), rodom iz susjedne Auburn, Mejn, će izgledati da produži svoj win-niz od tri kada je suočava Ricky “Divljak” Sylvester (2-1). Sylvester’s previous appearance in NEF ended in controversy when many felt he held an armbar a little too long on Tollison Lewis (0-4).

 

Na amaterski strani kartice, Josh Harvey (4-1) is scheduled to headline in the first defense of his NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title. Harvey will meet the stiff challenge of Ryan Dibartolomeo (4-2) iz John Fain Tima Triumph / Boston BJJ od Nashua, New Hampshire. Harvey won the vacant title this past June with a first-round submission of Ricky Dexter (3-1).

 

U amaterski dio kartica će također imati ni jedan, but two women’s contests.

Boyington IDE Head-to-glavu Raio DANA PRIJE FIGHT: “Idem tamo i uništiti NJEGA”

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Mejn (Jun 10, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju osamnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XVIII: MADE IN AMERICA,” ove subote noć, Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, Mejn. Nedavno, headlinera Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8), NEF MMA Professional Lagane Champion, i Jovan “First Class” Zrak(2-7) pridružio NEF suvlasnik i provodadžija Matt Peterson na posebnom “Head-to-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, među ostalim temama.

 

The interview quickly turned to the top of the first fight. Raio appeared to apply a rear-naked choke to Boyington on the mat late in the first round. Boyington began waving his hand in the air and referee Jimmy Bickford quickly stepped in to stop the fight. Much has been made of the infamous “ruku talas.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington je tvrdio da je on samo signalizaciju svojim fanovima u publici da se čekanje nije radio nikakve štete.

 

“Mogu vam reći kako je te noći završio,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “U osnovi, Bruce had given me his back. When I took his back, I had the hooks in and I had the rear-naked choke across his jaw line. I was trying to pressure it under his throat, i kao što sam uhvatio lijevom biceps i levom rukom se događa iza glave, Sudac je zaustavio borbu… Bio sam zapanjen da je predložen, jer, pošteno, Znao sam da sam imao puno pritisak na vilicu… Ako se u činjenici da je mahao, to je sranje za njega.”

 

“U toj situaciji, Ja konkretno sjetiti Bickford me gleda, Ja sam se suoči, on ide za vrat, a ja mašući,” Said Boyington. “Svi počne urlajući Real glasno i sjećam Bickford govorim, "Ne Bruce, ne možete reći da '… Ako mislite da sam dostavljanje ili da sam u nevolji ili ne mogu disati, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ne možete reći da je,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Vidim mnogo različitih stvari koje John rekao online, i mnogo stvari koje su drugi ljudi, rekao je, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.

 

Prije Boyington odustaje leđa, many felt he had been winning that first round. Doista, Boyington’s striking seemed to be on point that evening. Peterson asked both competitors to speculate on what would have happened had the referee not stopped the bout at that point.

 

“Neizbježno, Mislim John bi bio nokautiran,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ne mislim da ću ga dostaviti, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.

 

“Mislim da ako sudac nije zaustaviti na vrijeme, kad sam bio na vilicu sa svojim podlaktice i ja bio postizanje iza vrat,” Ray spekulisali, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Tako, Ne mislim da bi si otišla u drugi krug.”

 

U danima, sedmicama i mjesecima nakon borbe, both Boyington’s and Raio’s massive fan-followings have been very vocal on social media regarding the outcome of the bout. The heated debate has raged between both sides for well over a year now. With so much at stake for each side at “NEF XVIII,” oba sportaša dotakao ono što revanš za njih znači, i ono što im je potrebno da se dokaže da to dolazi vikenda.

 

“Jednostavno ne mogu da odem tamo i tukli John,” Said Boyington. “Čak i svoje fanove očekuju da… Ne mogu samo otići tamo na 13. junand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Znam da je, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, jer je drugu ruku nije ni sada rade… I haven’t worried about this date from day one. It’s nothing to do with John Raio. I don’t disrespect the guy. I don’t not like the guy. He’s a good man. I’m just at another level. I need to show up and prove that. That’s what it is to me. It’s not about me beating John. It’s about me showing everybody where I belong.

 

“U odnosu na Bruce mi brzo završio, i što ga čini lako, i ne brinuti o borbi previše, Samo mi je uvredljivo kao puno stvari o kojima on mi je rekao:, moja porodica i moji prijatelji,” replied Raio. “Bilo je trenutaka nakon posljednje borbe, kada me ljudi su čestitali (na Facebooku) and he’d go on like a one or two paragraph rant on every single comment everyone had put on my page for like three days straight. Tako, nakon toga sam rekao "Bruce i ja zapravo nisu više prijatelji,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… ali kada me ljudi ne postujes kao da ima teško je svidja.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Mejn (Maj 8, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju osamnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Subota, Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, Mejn. Ranije danas, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) treba da se sastane Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) pripojiti – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Prošlog mjeseca, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “U moj zadnji borbi, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Mejn, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “NEF XVII” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” Said Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.

RIVAL BANGOR-AREA GYMS VIE FOR FIRST-EVER AMATEUR MMA LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Mejn (April 16, 2015) - New England Borbe (NEF), Amerike broj jedan regionalni promociju borbe, održat će svoju osamnaestog mješovitih borilačkih-Arts- (MMA) događaj, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Subota, Jun 13, 2015 na Androscoggin banke Colisee u Lewiston, Mejn. Ranije danas, the promotion announced that the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion will be crowned that evening when undefeated Ricky Dexter (3-0), representing Marcus Davis’ Team Irish, će se na Josh Harvey (3-1) of cross-town rival Young’s MMA. The bout will be contested at the lightweight limit of 155-pounds.

 

Dexter and Harvey are regarded as two of the top prospects currently on the NEF MMA roster. Both athletes are undefeated in the promotion’s cage. Na Jun 13, they will carry on a rivalry that has raged in NEF between the Young’s MMA and Team Irish gyms for several years.

 

Both of these young athletes are a testament to their respective gyms, as well as to how far the sport has come in Maine,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “They both came along after NEF was established in the state, and we have seen both of them grow over the past year. We in the NEF front office unanimously believe that Josh and Ricky have a bright future ahead of them in MMA and look forward to this highly competitive bout set to be contested in Lewiston on Jun 13th."

 

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “NEF XVII.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.

 

I’m honored to be fighting for the NEF Lightweight Amateur Title,” stated Dexter. “To me there’s a lot more on the line than just a belt. Na 13. jun you better believe I’m bringing it.

 

When fans last saw Josh Harvey in the NEF cage, he had his arm raised in victory after mauling Caleb Hall (5-2) in the amateur opener of “NEF XVI” prošlog februar. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Mejn. Many insiders believe this will be one of Harvey’s final amateur fights before turning professional.

 

“Two top fighters from two top schools, this is a match to be excited about,” stated Harvey when reached for comment. “I have all the respect in the world for Ricky, but there is no where this fight goes that I don’t win.”
