📰 NEWS--📰Al Kinani on Upcoming Fight with Erickson: “Expect Nothing But Fireworks”

 

[NEF PRESS RELEASE]

Portland, Maine (June 22, 2023)

Few stars have taken New England Fights by storm as quickly and with the fanfare that has accompanied Mohammad Al Kinani in his first two years as a professional.

On the heels of a patient and productive amateur career, Al Kinani dispatched his first two pro foes in round one and put himself on the perceived fast track to regional and perhaps national notoriety.

Not even two recent losses – one to a fellow NEF shooting star, and another against an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) veteran – have given the hype meter hiccups.

Everybody who’s anybody on the local lightweight scene in mixed martial arts is acutely aware of one stark reality, however. To get where you’re going, you’ll eventually have to pass muster against Jesse Erickson.

📰 NEWS--📰IT’S “VICTORY OR VALHALLA” FOR ERICKSON INSIDE THE NEF CAGE

[NEF PRESS RELEASE] Auburn, Maine (April 30, 2022)

 Like a savvy mixed martial artist who allows his opponent to slip up before taking advantage and swooping in for the easy finish, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson is mostly content to let Matt “Ken Doll” Denning spill his guts about their estranged relationship as coach and student and impending appointment in opposite corners of the New England Fights cage.

 Denning (5-12) recently exhibited the full spectrum of emotions and withheld few words in an interview with Ryan Jarrell of Between Rounds Radio ahead of his main event with Erickson (10-8) at NEF 47: “The Battle of L/A.” Given an open mic and a blank check for rebuttal by Steve Domenico on this week’s installment of The Room Podcast, Erickson largely let Denning’s catharsis speak for itself.

 The road to Erickson and Denning’s showdown Saturday, May 14 at Norway Savings Bank Arena in Auburn, Maine, was paved four years ago, when Erickson, an instructor at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, informed Denning that he was no longer welcome at the gym. Denning admitted in his interview to physical aggression against a woman as well as substance abuse during that phase of his life and career.

 “He made some poor choices, and it was just time to move on,” Erickson said. “You can only help someone so long and try to guide them in the right direction for so long until eventually you’re like, ‘All right, man, you’ve gotta do this on your own. You can’t be my problem anymore. I’ve tried. I’ve tried to help you.’ So we parted ways and everything, and I said from the beginning, I don’t need to drag his name through the mud and air all his dirty laundry. He’s fuckin’ doing that himself, man. If you listened to that abomination of an interview he did, he’s handling it just fine.”
