UNTUK SIARAN SEGERA: Lewiston, Maine (Julai 10, 2015) - New England Melawan (NEF), Nombor satu promosi perjuangan serantau Amerika, akan mengadakan kesembilan belas bercampur seni mempertahankan diri yang (MMA) acara, “NEF XIX,” pada hari Sabtu, September 12, 2015 di Colisée Androscoggin Bank di Lewiston, Maine. Awal hari ini, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight championship bout to the fight card. Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) akan mempertahankan Tajuk NEF MMA Profesional Featherweight terhadap Vovk “KGB” Tanah Liat (3-0). The bout is scheduled for five five-minute rounds at a weight of 145-pounds.
Morrison mengejutkan alam semesta NEF Februari ini lalu apabila beliau tiba di Lewiston dan dikemukakan wira kampung halaman 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, malam bersalji di Lewiston.
“Saya tidak pernah melihat apa-apa seperti itu sebelum,” kata NEF pemilik bersama dan penaja 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, termasuk berkhidmat di Dunia Extreme Cagefighting (WEC) and Bellator. Morrison trains out of Daddis MMA in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
“Saya amat berterima kasih untuk kembali ke negeri yang indah Maine, untuk pertahanan tajuk pertama saya,” 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.
“Setiap pejuang mempunyai impian menjadikannya kepada UFC,” said Clay. “Sesetengah memilih untuk pergi selepas tajuk bermakna dan pad rekod mereka berjuang 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. Ia tidak akan mudah, but if I fight my fight, Saya akan menyelesaikan Morrison dan saya akan menjadi Featherweight Juara NEF.”
