路易斯顿, 缅因 (十二月 21, 2016) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 返回安德罗斯科金银行体育馆 二月 11, 2017 其未来的混合武术事件, “NEF 27: 再起。” 今天早些时候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight fight to the card. 亚伦 “狠” 莱西 (4-0) 将在 克里斯 “Game Bred” 雅各布 (1-0) 在145磅重的战斗.
Voted “年度战斗机” earlier this week by NEF fans, it would take a Herculean effort to argue that 2016 was not Aaron Lacey’s year. He made his professional debut in April at “22 NEF” defeating veteran Derek Shorey (4-8) and remained undefeated the rest of the year. Including his amateur career, Lacey is riding a seven-fight win streak. He has not lost a fight since the spring of 2014 (his only loss) – close to three years ago.
最近, Lacey struck down seasoned pro Taylor Trahan (6-7) with a vicious liver kick that made the entire crowd at the Colisee cringe. A win over Jacobs on 二月 11 would move Lacey that much closer to signing a contract with a major, national MMA promotion – a fate long predicted by many insiders for the product of Bangor’s Young’s MMA gym.
“I’m looking forward to 2017,” said Lacey when reached for comment. “2016 was a big year for me and I am looking forward to carrying that momentum into the new year on 2月11日. Chris Jacobs is a seasoned opponent who is making the trip up from Florida, so he will be prepared. I live in the gym and have been making huge gains, 和 2017 will be the year I get to showcase those gains!”
Jacobs is based out of DeLand, 佛罗里达. “NEF 27” will see him make his first trip to compete in Maine, but Jacobs is no stranger to the MMA cage. He put together an impressive record of 8-3 作为一个业余, including capturing a regional title on a fight card in nearby Daytona Beach. Jacobs won his pro debut earlier this year in Tampa. He is looking forward to facing tough competition in the form of Lacey.
“I must give thanks and praise to the most high for putting me in this position to fight in Maine,” 雅各布说. “这是一个祝福. It’s an honor to fight someone of a high caliber and stature like Aaron Lacey. I look forward to coming up there and competing with a top level athlete.”
NEF的下一个活动, “NEF 27: 再起” 发生在 星期六, 二月 11, 2017 在 7 P.M. Tickets start at $25 而在销售现在 www.TheColisee.com or by calling the Colisee box office at 207.783.2009, 延期 525.
