Morrison etoudi mesye linivè a nef sa a sot pase mwa fevriye lè li te rive nan Lewiston epi soumèt vil ewo 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, lanèj lannwit nan Lewiston.
“Mwen pat janm wè yon bagay tankou sa anvan,” 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, ki gen ladan yon misyonè nan Mondyal Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“Mwen trè rekonesan pou li retounen nan eta a bèl nan Maine, pou premye defans tit mwen an,” 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.
“Chak avyon de gè te gen yon rèv la fè li nan ch la,” said Clay. “Gen kèk chwazi yo ale apre tit san sans ak pad dosye yo goumen 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, Mwen pral fini Morrison ak mwen yo pral nef Plum Champion la.”
