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, noite de neve en Lewiston.
“Eu nunca vin nada como iso antes,” said NEF co-owner and promoter 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, incluíndo unha tempada na World Extremo Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

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.

He is a product of Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, Nova Hampshire.
“Cada loitador ten un soño de facelo para o UFC,” said Clay. “Algúns optan por ir detrás de títulos sen sentido e encher os seus rexistros loitando 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, Vou rematar Morrison e eu serei o campión dos penas NEF.”
