One such return will feature Darrius Heyliger (5-2) avy any 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 an'i Marcus “Ny irlandey grenady” Davis (22-11) ao amin'ny hetsika lehibe ny “NEF VII.” Heyliger will make his return on Septambra 12 manohitra Brandon Chagnon (5-4) ny Sityodtong.

BOYINGTON MIAKATRA HEAD-AMIN'NY-lohany tamin'ny andro fony tsy mbola RAIO ADY: “AHO iany hiditra any SY mamono azy”

Leave a comment

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)

Lewiston, Maine (Jona 10, 2015) - New England ady (NEF), Amerika isa-paritra iray ady fampiroboroboana, dia hanao ny fahavalo ambin'ny folo samy hafa firenena-miaramila-Zavakanto (MMA) zava-nitranga, “NEF XVIII: Vita avy any AMERIKA,” Sabotsy ity alina, Jona 13, 2015 amin'ny Bank Androscoggin Colisee any Lewiston, Maine. Vao haingana, headliners Bruce “Manja Boy” Boyington (10-8), ny NEF MMA Professional maivana Tompon-daka, ary John “Kilasy voalohany” Ray(2-7) nanatevin-daharana NEF mpiara-tompon'ny sy ny matchmaker Matt Peterson tamin'ny manokana “Head-to-Lohan'ny” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, amin'ny lohahevitra hafa.

 

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 “tanana onja.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington miady fa izy nidika fotsiny ny mpankafy azy tao amin'ny vahoaka fa amin'ny batery fiarovana tsy manao na fahasimbana.

 

“Afaka milaza aminao fa tapitra alina,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Raha tsorina dia, 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, ary tahaka ny noraisiny ny ankavia bicep sy ny ankavia nandeha ambadiky ny lohany, ny ref nitsahatra ny ady… Gaga aho nahita fa efa Tovozina satria, ny marina, Fantatro fa nanana betsaka ny tsindry eo amin'ny valanoranony… Raha ny marina dia nanofahofa, izay sucks ho azy.”

 

“Amin'izany toe-javatra, Aho mahatsiaro manokana Bickford mijery ahy, Aho hiatrika ny, dia mitranga noho ny vozonao, ary aho nanofahofa,” Said Boyington. “Olona rehetra tena mafy manomboka mierona ary tsaroako Bickford nanao hoe:, 'No Bruce, tsy afaka milaza fa '… Raha mihevitra fa hanaiky aho na azom-pahoriana aho, na dia tsy afaka miaina, you don’t tell the fighter, “Tsy afaka milaza izany,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Aho mahita zavatra maro samy hafa izay Jaona efa nilaza an-tserasera, ary maro ny zavatra hafa ny olona manao hoe:, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Talohan'ny Boyington manome ny ny indray, many felt he had been winning that first round. Tokoa, 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.

 

“Tsy maintsy, Mino aho fa i Jaona dia efa nisy nandondòna avy,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Tsy mino aho iany aho hanaiky azy, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Mihevitra aho fa raha tsy hijanona ref tamin'ny fotoana, Fony izaho teny an ny valanoranony miaraka amin'ny forearm sy hahatratra aho ambadiky ny vozony,” Ray manombatombana, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Izany, Tsy mino aho izany fa efa lasa ho any amin'ny fihodinana faharoa.”

 

Tamin'ny andron'i, herinandro sy ny volana manaraka ny ady, 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,” na mpanao fanatanjahan-tena nanohina amin'ny zavatra ny lalao miverina dia midika ho azy ireo, ary izay mila ho avy hizaha toetra io faran'ny herinandro.

 

“Fotsiny aho dia tsy afaka hiditra any, ary nokapohiny John,” Said Boyington. “Na ny mpankafy miandry fa… Tsy afaka hiditra any fotsiny amin'ny Faha-13 Jonaand beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Fantatro izany, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, fa ny hafa tsy sandry na dia miasa amin'izao fotoana izao… 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.”

 

“Amin'ny momba ny Bruce nahavita ahy haingana, ary manao izany mora, ary tsy tena manahy momba ny ady be loatra, Vao mahita izany tsy nanaja toy ny zavatra maro ny nilaza tamiko, ny fianakaviako sy ny namako,” replied Raio. “Nisy fotoana taorian'ny ady farany, rehefa fiarahabana olona ahy (amin'ny 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. Izany, rehefa afaka izany, dia nanao hoe: 'Bruce, ary izaho dia tsy tena namana intsony,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… Fa raha tsy manaja ahy ny olona toy izany dia efa sarotra ny toy ny lehilahy.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (Mey 8, 2015) - New England ady (NEF), Amerika isa-paritra iray ady fampiroboroboana, dia hanao ny fahavalo ambin'ny folo samy hafa firenena-miaramila-Zavakanto (MMA) zava-nitranga, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” amin'ny Asabotsy, Jona 13, 2015 amin'ny Bank Androscoggin Colisee any Lewiston, Maine. Vao maraina androany, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) no voatondro hihaona 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) Affiliate – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Tamin'ny volana lasa, 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. “Araka ny ady farany, 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,” 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.”

 

NEF MMA manaraka hetsika, “NEF XVIII: Made in America” will originate from the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston, Maine on June 13, 2015. Tickets ho “NEF XVIII” manomboka amin'ny fotsiny $25 ary amin'izao fotoana izao dia eo amin'ny amidy amin'ny www.TheColisee.com na tamin'ny fiantsoana ny Colisee birao boaty amin'ny207.783.2009 X 525.

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (Aprily 16, 2015) - New England ady (NEF), Amerika isa-paritra iray ady fampiroboroboana, dia hanao ny fahavalo ambin'ny folo samy hafa firenena-miaramila-Zavakanto (MMA) zava-nitranga, “NEF XVIII: Made in America,” amin'ny Asabotsy, Jona 13, 2015 amin'ny Bank Androscoggin Colisee any Lewiston, Maine. Vao maraina androany, 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 irlandey, dia handray 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. Amin'ny Jona 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 Jona 13faha-."

 

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. Amin'ny Faha-13 Jona 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” ity Febroary lasa. 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.”
