One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) si Ithaca, New York. 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 megide Marcus “The Irish Hand eskimos” Davis (22-11) na isi ihe omume nke “NEF VII.” Heyliger will make his return on September 12 megide Brandon Chagnon (5-4) nke Sityodtong.

Na nso nso, headliners Bruce “Mara Nwa” Boyington (10-8), na NEF Emmanuel Ọkachamara Kedu otu m ga onye mmeri, na John “Mbụ na klas” Ray(2-7) sonyeere NEF ngalaba-nwe na matchmaker Matt Peterson na a pụrụ iche “Isi na-Head” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, ndị ọzọ isiokwu.

 

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 “aka-efegharị efegharị.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington alụso na ọ bụ nanị egosi ya Fans na ìgwè mmadụ na jide e na-eme ihe ọ bụla mebiri.

 

“M nwere ike ịgwa gị otú ahụ n'abalị ahụ biri,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Ọwọrọ, 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, na dị ka m jidere m ekpe bicep na m aka ekpe na-aga n'azụ ya isi, na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu kwụsịrị ndị agha… O juru m anya na o tapped n'ihi, n'eziokwu, Ama m na m nwere ọtụtụ nsogbu na ya n'agba… Ọ bụrụ na eziokwu ọ na-à, na eme nzuzu maka ya.”

 

“Na ọnọdụ, M kpọmkwem na-echeta Bickford na-achọ na m, M ihu, ọ na-aga n'ihi na m n'olu na m na-atụ,” kwuru Boyington. “Onye ọ bụla amalite ebigbọ n'ezie oké olu na-m na-echeta Bickford si, 'Ọ dịghị Bruce, i nwere ike na-ekwu na '… Ọ bụrụ na ị na-eche na m na-enyefe ma ọ bụ na m na nsogbu ma ọ bụ enweghị ike na-eku ume, you don’t tell the fighter, “Ị nwere ike na-ekwu na,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… M na-ahụ a otutu dị iche iche ihe na Jọn kwuru online, na ọtụtụ ihe ndị ọzọ kwuru, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Tupu Boyington inye ya azụ, many felt he had been winning that first round. N'ezie, 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.

 

“-Apụghị izere ezere, M na-eche John ga na a na-kụrụ aka,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Echeghị m na m agbarapụ n'okpuru ya, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“M na-eche na ọ bụrụ na Onye na-egbu egwuregwu akwụsịghị n'oge, mgbe m bụ ya bụ na agha na m aka m na-eru n'azụ ya n'olu,” Ray speculated, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Ya mere, Echeghị m na ọ ga-na-na na ine a abụọ gbaa gburugburu.”

 

Na ụbọchị, izu na ọnwa na-esonụ agha, 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,” ma na-eme egwuregwu otụk na ihe rematch pụtara ha, na ihe ha mkpa iji gosi na a na-abịa izu ụka.

 

“M nnọọ ike na-aga n'ebe ahụ ma na-eti John,” kwuru Boyington. “Ọbụna ya onwe ya Fans na-atụ anya na… Apụghị m nnọọ na-aga n'ebe ahụ na June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Amaara m nke ahụ, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, n'ihi na ndị ọzọ ogwe-aka-adịghị ọbụna na-arụ ọrụ ugbu a… 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.”

 

“N'ihe banyere Bruce gụchara m ngwa ngwa, na-eme ka ọ dị mfe, na n'ezie echegbu onwe anyị banyere ndị agha ukwuu, M nnọọ na-achọta ya enweghị nkwanye ùgwù dị ka a ọtụtụ ihe ọ na-sị m, ezinụlọ m na ndị enyi m,” replied Raio. “E nwere oge mgbe ikpeazụ agha mgbe ndị mmadụ na-congratulating m (na Facebook) 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. Ya mere, mgbe m kwuru 'Bruce na m bụ n'ezie enyi ọzọ,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Ma mgbe ndị mmadụ akparị m dị ka o nwere ọ bụ ike ka Ihọd.”

In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF Emmanuel Professional Kedu otu m ga Champion Bruce “Mara Nwa” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Mbụ na klas” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, Otú ọ dị, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. N'agbanyeghị, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 na Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, na 2014 “Agha nke Year,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “The ere Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) na a middleweight n'obi.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

“NEF XVIII” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) naRyan Glover (1-0).

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Hapụ ikwu

Lewiston, Maine (Ka 8, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na asatọ mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Saturday, June 13, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisee na Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) a na ndokwa izute 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) Mgbakwunye – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Ikpeazụ nke ọnwa, 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. “Na ikpeazụ m agha, 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, Maine, 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,” kwuru 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

Hapụ ikwu

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (April 16, 2015) - New England alụkarị ọgụ (NEF), America nọmba-otu mpaghara agha nkwalite, ga jide ya iri na asatọ mbuaha-mara-nkà (Emmanuel) omume, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” na Saturday, June 13, 2015 na Androscoggin Bank Colisee na Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, 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, ga-on 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. On June 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 June 13nke."

 

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. On June 13 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” a gara aga February. It took Harvey a mere 36-seconds to run through Hall, himself a two-time state wrestling champion for Dirigo High School in Dixfield, Maine. 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.”
