Lewiston, Maine (June 10, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Analengedwa AMERICA,” izi Loweruka usiku, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Posachedwapa, headliners Bruce “Wokongola Boy” Boyington (10-8), ndi NEF MMA Professional opepuka Ngwazi, ndipo John “Choyamba Maphunziro” Ray(2-7) anagwirizana NEF omasuliridwa mwini matchmaker Mat Peterson pa wapadera “Mutu ndi Mutu” edition of the NEF Podcast. Boyington and Raio discussed the upcoming rematch and the controversy surrounding their first meeting in February 2014, Mwa zina mitu.

 

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 “dzanja yoweyula.” While Bickford saw it as a sign of Boyington’s submission, Boyington walimbana kuti chabe posonyeza ake mafani mu Khamu kugwira sanali kuchita mavuto.

 

“Ine ndikhoza kukuuzani inu momwe usiku umenewo unatha,” recalled Raio of the first bout. “Kwenikweni, 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, ndipo pamene ine ndinachita lamanzere bicep ndi kumanzere kwanga dzanja anali kupita kumbuyo mutu wake, ndi ref anasiya nkhondo… Ndinadabwa kuona kuti liyimbidwa chifukwa, moona mtima, Ndinadziwa kuti anali zambiri chiyeso nsagwada… Ngati Ndipotu iye anali kugwedezeka, kuti imayamwa iye.”

 

“Pa zinthu, Ine makamaka kumbukirani Bickford akuyang'ana pa ine, Ine ndiri nawo, iye anga khosi ndi ine m'mwamba,” Anati Boyington. “Aliyense kuyamba wobangula weniweni mokweza ndipo ndikukumbukira kuti Bickford, 'No Bruce, inu simungakhoze kunena kuti '… Ngati inu mukuganiza kuti ine kugonjera kapena ndine mavuto sangathe kupuma, you don’t tell the fighter, “Inu simungakhoze kunena kuti,” you just jump in and you stop the fight. I feel like he made a mistake. I feel like he realizes that… Ine ndikuwona zochuluka zosiyanasiyana zimene John wanena Intaneti, ndi zinthu zambiri anthu ena mwanena, and that’s when I really started to get bothered by what had happened. I felt like he could’ve handled it better.”

 

Isanafike Boyington kupereka wake mmbuyo, many felt he had been winning that first round. Poyeneradi, 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.

 

“Amatipeza, Ine ndikuganiza Yohane akanakhala kugonja,” stated Boyington emphatically. “Ine sindikuganiza ine ndiri adza kugonjera iye, because that would be his best chance with me. He’s strong enough to defend a submission.”

 

“Ine ndikuganiza ngati ref sanaime pa nthawi, pamene ndinali pa masaya anga mkono ndipo ine ndinali kufika kumbuyo khosi lake,” Ray ankati, “I believe my arm would’ve slid under his throat and it would’ve ended sometime soon before the round. Choncho, Ine sindikuganiza kuti akanati atapita ku kubwera kwachiwiri.”

 

M'masiku, masabata ndi miyezi kutsatira nkhondo, 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,” onse othamanga anakhudza zimene rematch zikutanthauza kuti iwo, ndi chimene iwo ayenera kutsimikizira izi sabata ikubwera.

 

“Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo nampanda John,” Anati Boyington. “Ngakhale wake mafani akuyembekezera kuti… Ine sindingakhoze basi kupita mmenemo pa June 13and beat John Raio. I gotta go in there and destroy him. Or I still lose out on this fight. Ndikudziwa zimenezo, and I’m gonna go in there and make that statement. And I’m gonna do it with one arm, thangwi mkono si ngakhale ntchito pakali pano… 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.”

 

“Pa nkhani Bruce kumaliza ine msanga, ndi kupanga mosavuta, ndipo si kudandaula za kulimbana kwambiri, Ine kupeza izo ulemu ngati zinthu zambiri iye anandiuza, banja langa ndi anzanga,” replied Raio. “Nthawi zina pambuyo otsiriza nkhondo pamene anthu achilimbikitso ine (pa 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. Choncho, pambuyo Ine ndinati 'Bruce ndi ine si mabwenzi panonso,’ so I deleted him. I liked him before that fight… koma pamene anthu amanyoza ine ngati ali zimakhala zovuta ngati munthuyo.”

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Kusiya ndemanga

Lewiston, Maine (Mulole 8, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Anapanga America,” pa Loweruka, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Poyambirira lero, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (4-4) ndi uchitike kukumana 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) Othandizana Nawo – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Mwezi watha, 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. “Chomaliza nkhondo, 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,” Anati 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

Kusiya ndemanga

NEF_FNVXIII_madeinUSA_FB_final+(1)Lewiston, Maine (April 16, 2015) - New England Kumenyana (NEF), America wa nambala wani dera nkhondo Kukwezeleza, adzakangamira ake chakhumi ndi chisanu ndi chitatu losakanizika karate-zaluso (MMA) chochitika, “NEF XVIII: Anapanga America,” pa Loweruka, June 13, 2015 pa Androscoggin Bank Colisee mu Lewiston, Maine. Poyambirira lero, 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, chidzathandiza 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. Pa 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 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. Pa 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” ichi kale 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.”
