路易斯頓, 緬因 (十二月 21, 2016) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on 二月 11, 2017 其未來的混合武術事件, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” 今天早些時候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight fight to the card. 亞倫 “狠” 萊西 (4-0) 將在 克里斯 “Game Bred” 雅各布 (1-0) 在145磅重的戰鬥.
Voted “年度戰鬥機” 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 February 11th. 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, 佛羅里達. “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 作為一個業餘, 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,” 雅各布說. “It’s a blessing. 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.”
