Morrison verstom die NEF heelal afgelope Februarie toe hy in Lewiston en tuisdorp held Ray Wood voorgelê (5-1) in the fifth round to win the championship title. It was as if he had sucked all the air out of the Colisée with a vacuum. Morrison played the role of spoiler that cold, snowy nag in Lewiston.
“Ek het nog nooit so iets gesien nie voor,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “The entire place just dropped into a dead silence. I don’t think anyone in Maine saw that coming, and I certainly don’t think anyone who’s followed NEF expected a fighter to come in and do that to Ray Wood. Everyone was shocked. It was a surreal moment.”
Morrison is a seasoned veteran with more than a decade’s experience in the sport. He has competed against the best MMA has to offer on the national stage, insluitend 'n termyn in World Extreme Cage Fighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“Ek is baie dankbaar om terug te keer na die pragtige staat van Maine, vir my eerste titel verdediging,” said Morrison. “It will be a very entertaining fight and another victory for the five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Five time! Mixed martial arts champion, Anthony Morrison.”
Vovka Clay is undefeated as a professional. He competed as an amateur twice in NEF and won both fights by submission in an impressive fashion. Clay is considered one of the true rising stars of the New England fight scene. A win over an accomplished veteran like Morrison could potentially propel Clay onto the national stage. He is a product of Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire.
“Elke vegter het 'n droom van die maak dit aan die UFC,” said Clay. “Sommige kies om te gaan na die sinlose titels en pad hul rekords veg nobodies. I choose to fight the highest level of competition possible. I am thrilled to be fighting Anthony Morrison for the NEF Featherweight title. He is a very durable and crafty veteran. It won’t be easy, but if I fight my fight, Ek sal Morrison klaar en ek sal die NEF veergewigkampioen.”
