לעוויסטאָן, מיין (מאַרץ 31, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, “נעף 22: אַלע ראָודז LEAD דאָ” אויף שבת, אַפּריל 23, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסéע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, NEF announced the full fight card for the event. The fight card is scheduled to feature three professional boxing matches, six professional MMA bouts, and twelve exciting amateur MMA contests.

 

On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, מיין, בראַנדאָן “דעם קאַנאָן” בערי(11-1, 7 קאָס) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’s James Lester (10-9, 4 קאָס). בערי, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.

 

That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “היטמאַן” העאַרנס (61-5-1, 48 קאָס), אָסקאַר די לאַ הויאַ (39-6, 30 קאָס), לענאַקס לויס (41-2-1, 32 קאָס) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 קאָס) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “ספּוילער” צו “דעם קאַנאָן” and his legion of fans.

 

After a bloody war of a professional boxing debut at “נעף 21” לעצטע חודש, NEF MMA regular קראָווסנעקק בוטאַן (0-0-1) will once again step into the boxing ring, this time facing Brandon Montella (3-0, 2 קאָס). Montella, now a resident of Massachusetts, grew up in Maine and served in the United States Marine Corps.

 

Headlining the professional MMA portion of the fight card will be דזשעסי “די וויקינג” עריקסאַן (6-4) און Devin פּאַואַל (5-1) in a lightweight contest. Both fighters are currently on a three-fight win streak.

 

“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview on The MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”

 

Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.

 

“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”

 

“Crazy” און “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed between דזשאָש “Hook On” Harvey (0-0) און מאַט “קען ליאַלקע” דענינג (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “נעף 22” in an MMA bout. The bout will be Harvey’s professional debut after a stellar 5-1 amateur career that saw him capture the NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Title, as well as the northeast regions number-one ranking. The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage on April 23rd.

 

The professional portion of the MMA card will also feature the pro debut of Harvey’s Young’s MMA teammate אהרן “רילענטליס” לאַסעי (0-0) as he takes on veteran “שאַטטערפּראָאָף 2.0” דערעק שאָרי (3-5) אין אַ פעאַטהערוועיגהט באַוט. Lacey vacated the NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title in order to turn professional.

 

That title will not stay vacant very long as קאַלעב האַלל (6-3) און Erik Nelson (2-2) face off to determine a new champion at the top of the amateur MMA card. Hall is coming off a first-round submission win at “נעף קסקס” לעצטע פאַלן, while Nelson recently picked up a unanimous decision victory at “נעף 21.”

 

The amateur MMA card will also feature a women’s fight between אַנגעלאַ יונגע(0-1) און “האָליוואוד” כאַנאַ ספּאַררעלל (1-0). Young and Sparrell made their respective debuts last year at “נעף קסיקס.”
