Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) vil forsvare NEF MMA Professional Featherweight titel mod Vovk “KGB” Ler (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.

 

Morrison bedøvet NEF universet dette tidligere februar, hvor han ankom i Lewiston og indsendt hjemby helten Ray Wood (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, snedækket nat i Lewiston.

 

“Jeg har aldrig set noget lignende før,” sagde NEF medejer og initiativtager 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, herunder en tørn i World Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

 

“Jeg er meget taknemmelig for at vende tilbage til den smukke staten Maine, for min første titel forsvar,” 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.

 

“Hver fighter har en drøm om at gøre det til UFC,” said Clay. “Nogle vælger at gå efter meningsløse titler og pad deres optegnelser kæmper 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. Det bliver ikke let, but if I fight my fight, Jeg vil slutte Morrison og jeg vil være den NEF Fjervægt Champion.”
