DEPPMEYER AND RICHARD TO COLLIDE AT NEF 36 בפורטלנד, מיין

להשאיר תגובה

פורטלנד, מיין (ספטמבר 18, 2018) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) יקיים את אירוע אומנויות הלחימה המעורב האחרון שלו 2018, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” ביום שבת, נובמבר 17 באאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card. Jacob Deppmeyer (1-1-1) יעמוד בפני זאק ריצ'רד (2-0) at a fight weight of 140-pounds.

Jacob Deppmeyer is coming off a “fight of the night” performance earlier this month at “NEF 35” in Bangor, מיין. Deppmeyer went the distance with Taylor Bartlett (1-1-1) in a back-and-forth war that was ultimately ruled a draw on the judges’ כרטיסי ניקוד. That bout marked Deppmeyer’s return to the cage after more than a year off from competition. He defeated Glenn Kasabian (2-3) via first-round technical knockout at “NEF 28” in the spring of 2017. Deppmeyer trains with First Class MMA based in Brunswick, מיין.

“Zac looks like a tough guy, fast with good pressure,” said Deppmeyer. “I don’t know much more about him, but I know I will train hard with my team, as I’m sure he will, and we will have some good fun in the cage come November 17!”

Undefeated Zac Richard has been one of the emerging stories of the 2018 NEF season. Richard has won both of his previous bouts this year by first-round technical knockout. A win over Deppmeyer would put Richard in serious contention for “רוקי השנה” honors at the close of 2018. Richard is a native of Waterboro, Maine where he wrestled for Massabesic High School. He won a Class-A state championship in wrestling in 2015. He currently trains at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, and current UFC competitor, דווין פאוול (9-3).

“I can’t wait to get back in the NEF cage in Portland, close to home for my family and friends,” said Richard. “Fighting in NEF has helped me find new purpose in my life – it’s taken me back to my wrestling roots and given me a competitive outlet to continue testing my skills. This fight is the day after the anniversary of my sister’s passing, so it’s a very meaningful date for me. I’m excited to get out there and notch my third win on November 17th in honor of her memory.”

האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” תראה שהחברה תחזור לאאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. האירוע אמור להתקיים בשבת, נובמבר 17, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים במכירה כעת ב www.AuraMaine.com.

TOP BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS TO SQUARE OFF AT NEF 36 בפורטלנד, מיין

פורטלנד, מיין (ספטמבר 17, 2018) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) יקיים את אירוע אומנויות הלחימה המעורב האחרון שלו 2018, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” ביום שבת, נובמבר 17 באאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the card. הנרי קלארק (4-4) ייפגש Killian Murphy (1-1) in a battle of top contenders to the promotion’s 135-pound amateur title.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. After starting his amateur career at 3-1, Clark would lose his next three in a row. He would bounce back this past June with a first-round submission of Jack Greene (2-6) via D’Arce choke at “NEF 34” בפורטלנד. It was a return to form as Clark had picked up all three of his previous wins by submission – all various forms of chokeholds. He previously challenged for the amateur bantamweight title in early 2016 in a losing effort to Johnny Crafts (4-1).

“I’m hyped about this fight with Killian,” אמר קלארק. “He’s as game as they come, but he is nowhere near ready for me. I’ll smash him up, and then next I’ll take that belt and put it around my waist with my own hands. This is my time to shine.”

Killian Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion. He captured a title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Murphy made his amateur MMA debut earlier this year at “NEF 33” in Portland with a technical knockout of Krishna Scott (0-1). Like Clark, he would also make an unsuccessful bid for the amateur bantamweight title. Murphy lost to current champion Kam Arnold at “NEF 34” in a hard-fought battle that will certainly be a contender for “מאבק של השנה” at the end of 2018. He trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, ולוחם UFC הנוכחי, דווין פאוול (9-3).

“I’m excited to fight Henry,” אמרו מרפי. “Beating Henry gives me another shot at the title – and winning that belt has always been my goal.”

האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” תראה שהחברה תחזור לאאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. האירוע אמור להתקיים בשבת, נובמבר 17, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים במכירה כעת ב www.AuraMaine.com.

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (ספטמבר 16, 2018) – The newest entity in MMA, ליגת MMA Pro, launched Saturday as Team Pennsylvania led by head coach Daniel Gracie defeated Team New Jersey led by head coach Dan Miller by a score of 14 – 6 במלון הארד הרוק & Casino Atlantic City and on FloCombat.com.

 

 

 

In the opening bout on FloCombat.com, Joseph Penafiel of Team Pennsylvania defeated Turpal Khamzayev of Team New Jersey by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 29-28), securing three points for Team Pennsylvania.

 

 

“Getting that first win for my team meant everything,” said Penafiel. “I wanted to set the tone for my team and let everyone know we’re here to bang. I knew (Khamzayev) was tough, but I’m way too much for him. Even when he tried to strike me I was able to stay comfortable. And in the grappling department I don’t think many people can mess with me.”

 

 

 

The second official team bout saw Cody Hier of Team Pennsylvania secure a TKO victory over Gabriel Ruiz of Team New Jersey 3:43 into round two and earning Team Pennsylvania five more points, expanding their lead 8 – 0.

 

 

 

“I finally feel like I’m hitting my rhythm in the cage,” said Hier. “I did everything that I could to help Team Pennsylvania get the win tonight. I could tell Ruiz was out and he was quitting. When I hit him with that first big ground and pound, I felt how well I tagged him. And then when he tried to go to his side that’s when I really got aggressive and finished him.”

 

 

 

In the third fight, Team New Jersey’s Claudio Ledesma won by unanimous decision (29-27, 30-27, 30-27) על Andre Bernardo of Team Pennsylvania, earning Team New Jersey their first three points and tightening the team contest 8 – 3.

 

 

 

“I was glad to do my part for my team,” said Ledesma. “I’m a little mad that I wasn’t able to stop him, למרות ש. I hit him with everything but the kitchen sink, but I just couldn’t finish him. After the second round, once I realized that I probably wasn’t going to finish (ברנרדו), I knew my main goal was to just secure the win and that’s what I did.”

 

 

 

The fourth official contest of the night featured a unanimous decision (29-27, 29-27, 29-27) victory by Zedekiah Montanez of Team Pennsylvania over Mike Pagano of Team New Jersey, capturing three more points for Team Pennsylvania and growing the lead 11 – 3.

 

 

 

“It felt great to get the win. I was just trying to listen to my coach and my teammates,” said Montanez. “I also had my son right there watching me tonight. He helps remind me what I do this for. But tonight, I was happy to get this experience under my belt and get the win for my team.”

 

 

 

In the evening’s fifth bout, Team Pennsylvania’s Rafael Celestino defeated Team New Jersey’s עמנואל Walo על ידי החלטת פה אחד (30-27, 29-28, 29-28). With Celestino’s win, Team Pennsylvania collected three more points, widening the score 14 – 3, and officially securing Team Pennsylvania victory.

 

 

 

“I’m very happy with my win and to be able to help my team earn the victory tonight,” said Celestino. “Walo is a very tough opponent and he came to fight tonight, but I did enough to get the win and am happy with my performance.”

 

 

 

The sixth and final official contest showcased an exhilarating finale as Kevin Sears of Team New Jersey scored a unanimous decision (29-28, 29-27, 29-27) על Ahmed Samir of Team Pennsylvania, making the final team score 14 – 6 in favor of Team Pennsylvania.

 

 

 

“I went in there and fought for my team, but I was also fighting for my daughter and my family,” said Sears. “I’m doing this to make my daughter’s life better. She helps push me and drives me to fight. Samir had me shook in the first round, and then again in the second, but I just dug deep and did what I needed to get this win.”

 

 

 

“The way we won showed me a lot about my team,” said coach Gracie. “We won decisively and showed the type of performance that I’ve come to expect from my guys.

 

 

 

“MMA needs innovation and something new to excite the fans and help bring the masses to our sport,” added Gracie. “I think MMA Pro League and this team concept is exactly what will help bring that added attention and take this sport to the next level.”

ותיקי M-1 העולמיים & אלופים לשעבר מדברים על M-1 & UFC מוסקבה

להשאיר תגובה

סנט פטרסבורג, רוסיה (ספטמבר 14, 2018) – ותיקי M-1 העולמיים ואלופי העבר הביעו לאחרונה את מחשבותיהם ודעותיהם לגבי חוויות ה- M-1 שלהם ושל מחר (שבע. 15) כרטיס UFC מוסקבה באצטדיון האולימפי במוסקבה.

אלכסיי אולייניק, ותיק M-1 העולמי, לעומת. מארק האנט באירוע המרכזי של UFC במוסקבה:

“M-1 Global הוא קידום גדול ברוסיה ומאוד נהנתי מהתקופה בה נלחמתי שם. כל קרב עבורי היה צעד נוסף בקריירה שלי. לא בחרנו יריבים, דירג קרבות, והשתתף בגרנד פרי.”

אלכסנדר וולקוב, אלוף במשקל כבד אתגר M-1 לשעבר:

“אחד הרגעים הטובים ביותר שהיו לי ב- M-1 Global היה הניצחון של הצוות שלנו ב- M-1 Selection. באותה תקופה היו תחרויות קבוצתיות ב- M-1 Global ואני מתגעגע לפורמט הזה. רגע נהדר נוסף היה כשזכיתי בתואר ה- M-1 Challenge במשקל כבד. כל קרב חשוב הוא מאוד בלתי נשכח.”

“הקרבות העולמיים הראשונים שלי ב- M-1 היו בתחרויות קבוצות M-1 Selection, מה שעזר לי כלוחם צעיר להתחיל את הקריירה שלי, למצוא את מקומי בספורט הזה ולהבין שאני שייך ל- MMA. באותה תקופה זו הייתה הזדמנות נהדרת לספורטאים צעירים להפגין את כישוריהם ולהופיע בתחנות טלוויזיה מקומיות, אז M-1 Global היה הצעד הראשון בקריירה המקצועית שלי.”

“ל- UFC יש השפעה עצומה על התפתחות שוק ה- MMA הרוסי. השותפות בין M-1 Global ו- UFC מעניקה ל- M-1 Global יתרונות רבים בשוק המקומי והופכת אותה לאטרקטיבית הרבה יותר עבור לוחמים רוסים.. לכל אמני הלחימה המעורבים יש חלום להילחם ב- UFC ועכשיו הדרך ברורה. כפי שראינו פעמים רבות, לוחמים ואלופים מובילים מ- M-1 העולמי מתחרים ברמה הגבוהה ביותר ב- UFC.”

רמדאן Emeev, לשעבר אלוף ה- M-1 Challenge במשקל בינוני, לעומת. סטפן סקוליץ 'ב- UFC מוסקבה

“אני מרגיש קצת אחריות למאבק הזה כי אני נלחם בבית. הרבה חברים ואוהדים יבואו לשורש לי ואני לא רוצה לאכזב אותם. אני רוצה להראות מופע נהדר, לנצח במאבק, ותשמח את כל מי שתומך בי.

“מאז אני נלחם בבית, אני לא צריך לטוס לאנשהו ולהסתגל. בקרבות הקודמים הייתי צריך לטוס על פני האוקיאנוס כדי להתחרות. עכשיו, תורם, והכל יהיה לפי הכללים שלי.”

Rustam Khabilov M-1 ותיק עולמי, לעומת. קג'אן ג'ונסון ב- UFC מוסקבה

“יש אחריות גדולה שנלחמת בבית כשהקהל מחכה לך. לא משנה אם זה M-1 Global או UFC. ההמונים זהים. חברים ומעריצים רבים יהיו מודאגים, והם יבואו לי לשורש, אז אני חייב את הניצחון הזה להם. אני חייב לנצח. לכן התאמנתי פי שלוש למאבק הזה. עכשיו, אני צופה יריב. הכל יהיה בסדר.”

עבדולמאנאפ נורמגומדוב, אחד מאמני ה- MMA הטובים בעולם ואביו של UFC והלוחם העולמי לשעבר M-1, קביב נורמגומדוב

“M-1 Global היא ההיסטוריה של ה- MMA הרוסי וזה לא מקרה שלוחמים רבים שהחלו את הקריירה שלהם ב- M-1 Global מצליחים מאוד בעולם ה- MMA. M-1 Global היה בסיס לאומנויות לחימה מעורבות ברוסיה, התמודד עם כמה אתגרים, למדו מטעויותיהם והמשיכו להתקדם. מרבית הלוחמים הרוסים שכעת חתומים ב- UFC הגיעו בדיוק מ- M-1 העולמית.”

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. (ספטמבר 13, 2018) – As fight night approaches for the inaugural MMA Pro League event, fighters from head coach Dan Miller’s Team New Jersey and head coach Daniel Gracie’s Team Pennsylvania participated in media workouts Thursday at Hard Rock Live in Atlantic City.

The newest entity in MMA kicks off this Saturday, ספטמבר 15 at the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City in bouts streaming live on FloCombat.com (9 p.m. ET p.m / 6. PT). Tickets for the inaugural installment of “MMA Pro League At The Hard Rock” are available at Ticketmaster.com.

The full bout sheet is available HERE. Here is what the fighters in attendance and league executives had to say Thursday:

DAN MILLER, Head Coach of Team New Jersey

“It means a lot to be coach for Team New Jersey. It’s my home state and it’s a big event for it. I love the team concept and I’m proud to be in this position.

“We’re here representing the whole state. We’ve had the team training together and building camaraderie. It’s like a wrestling match style where each team is sending people out.

“Everybody looks good and healthy in training camp. I think we’re ready to go. All of these fights are going to be fantastic. These are matched very well and it should be a fun night. Team Pennsylvania better be ready, because our guys are.”

DANIEL GRACIE, Head Coach of Team Pennsylvania

“Everything in training has been perfect. I’ve been working with most of these guys for a long time already so we just kept up what we’ve been working on. With the team concept we have a lot more people to focus on instead of just one or two. We already had good chemistry though, so everything went smoothly.

“Our amateur guys turning pro are going to show that they belong in these fights. It’s time to grab the spotlight. Your first fight is the best opportunity to make an impression.

“I think that MMA needs something new that can draw people’s attention. This is a great chance to bring in the fans who don’t pay attention to MMA and give them a chance to get behind their local teams.”

HANI DARWISH, CEO of MMA Pro League

“Fans should expect something completely different than they’re used to. MMA has always been a team sport and I’m glad we’re going to be the ones to expose that to the world. These guys have always trained with a team, because you can’t train by yourself.

“We believe this is going to be the new era of MMA. We’re going to give cities and states all around the world the chance to really stand behind their own teams.

“There’s been a lot of hard work and strategic planning leading to this and it’s finally coming to fruition. It’s a vision that we implemented and once we got the right people we knew it was a theme we believed in so much that we decided to execute.”

MARK TAFFET, President of MMA Pro League

“We’re going to create a legacy in this sport that is going to last for generations to come. I had the privilege of launching HBO PPV 30 years ago and I saw a lot of history be made. Now I have the chance to do it again, along with my partner Hani Darwish.

“My first fight at HBO PPV was right here in Atlantic City for Evander Holyfield vs. ג'ורג 'פורמן. It’s very significant for me to be back here in Atlantic City at the brand new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino to have a chance to create another chapter of great moments.

“One of the most important things to MMA Pro League is to have the right coaches leading the teams. Dan Miller and Daniel Gracie are both natural leaders, mentors, great former fighters and great teachers. They represent everything we want to represent with MMA Pro League.”

MARK KOLKER (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. ZULKARNAIYN KAMCHYBEKOV (הרשות הפלסטינית) – Middleweights

Kolker: “This is really exciting and I’m very thankful for the opportunity. We’re doing something different than anyone else is doing and I think it can be something special.

“I know that I have an opponent who can wrestle and who’s undefeated as an amateur. I feel like I have the tools to beat him. I can catch, slip and put him away with something early. Or if he wants to go the distance we can do that too. I predict I knock him out.”

Kamchybekov: “This is my first pro fight and I’m very happy to have the opportunity. I don’t know too much about my opponent but I will be prepared. I have worked very hard and I’m going to show my wrestling and striking to get this win.”

GABRIEL RUIZ (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. CODY HIER (הרשות הפלסטינית) – Featherweights

רואיז: “It feels good to get back in the cage and feel the adrenaline. I’m hoping to give everyone a great fight.

“I know my opponent is a wrestler so he’s going to try to take me down. He’s not going to want to stand up with me, but I’m prepared for a lot of wrestling. I’m trying to knock him out and go eat a burger.”

Hier: “It’s amazing to be a part of this MMA Pro League venture. It’s such a great opportunity and I’m glad to be on the ground floor.

“My opponent has taken some time off but I know he’s going to be ready to fight. I’m not sleeping on him. This is going to be an action fight.”

CLAUDIO LEDESMA (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. ANDRE BERNARDO (הרשות הפלסטינית) – Bantamweights

Ledesma: “It’s awesome to be able to represent New Jersey. I’m so happy to have this opportunity. This has been a great experience so far.

“I don’t know too much about my opponent. I like to focus on what I do and make adjustments when I have to.”

ברנרדו: “It’s been a hard road getting to where I am today and I’m grateful to be fighting for MMA Pro League.

“I’m facing a very experienced fighter. He has a black belt in jiu-jitsu and is a well-rounded fighter. He’s still going to have to get in
there and fight me. I know we’re going to go to the ground eventually and I plan to choke him out.”

MIKE PAGANO (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. ZEDEKIAH MONTANEZ (הרשות הפלסטינית) – Welterweights

Pagano: “I’m proud to be a part of this first MMA Pro League show. I’m excited to represent my state in the cage.

“My opponent seems very well composed. He likes to sit back and box before looking to throw. Everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face, so I’m going to go out there and just fight.”

Montanez: “It feels really good to be in this position. Fighting professionally has been a dream of mine and now it’s here. I’ve worked so hard to get to this moment and I’m really excited.

“I know that I’m facing a wrestler who likes to put pressure on and come straight forward. We’re prepared for anything he throws at me and I will adapt to anything he throws at me. It’s going to be a war but I just have to go out there and be the best I can be.”

JUSTIN OSBORN (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. ANDY JIMENEZ (הרשות הפלסטינית) – Welterweights

Osborn: “I’m excited to go out there and do what I love to do. I can’t wait to get in that cage and stare across at a guy who’s ready to take my head off.

“I know I’m facing an undefeated amateur making his pro debut so I’m ready for anything. I’m ready for the whole nine yards. I’m predicting a finish.”

JOSEPH PINAFIEL (הרשות הפלסטינית) לעומת. TURPAL KHAMZAYEV (ניו ג'רזי) – Bantamweights

Pinafiel: “It means everything to me to have this platform. This is an opportunity to build upon my career. I’ve had amazing treatment here. I’m going for it all on Saturday.

“I’m facing a tough guy in his own backyard. But I’m here to make a statement. I want to take him out and give everyone a good fight. I’m hoping he brings the best out of me. אני הולך לנצח. I’m ready to finish him any way possible.”

KEVIN SEARS (ניו ג'רזי) לעומת. AHMED SAMIR (הרשות הפלסטינית) – במשקל כבד

Sears: “This means a lot to me. I’ve fought in 10 leagues and this has been the best experience by far. MMA Pro League just cares about their fighters.

“Samir looks really tough and I know he has a lot of experience. Everyone is dangerous at this level and it only takes on punch to go to sleep. I’m going to go for the finish right from the start.”

פורטלנד, מיין (ספטמבר 13, 2018) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) יקיים את אירוע אומנויות הלחימה המעורב האחרון שלו 2018, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” ביום שבת, נובמבר 17 באאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight title fight to the card. אהרון “בלתי נלאה” לייסי (6-2) is scheduled to meet Bill Jones (13-10) for the vacant NEF Professional Featherweight Championship.

Lacey is coming off one of the biggest wins of his professional career to date. Last weekend at “NEF 35” before his hometown fans in Bangor, מיין, Lacey submitted Jon Lemke (7-9) just under two minutes into the first round. It was a rebound win for Lacey who lost a decision to a very tough Da’Mon Blackshear (5-2) earlier this summer in Portland. ב “NEF 36,” Lacey will look to capture gold in the promotion for the second time – he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title at “NEF 20” בחודש נובמבר 2015 in what would be his final amateur fight. Lacey is a member of Young’s MMA based in Bangor.

“I’m excited to be fighting for this strap,” קראתי לייסי. “I was NEF’s first amateur 145-pound champion and I look forward to being one of the first people to hold amateur and professional belts for New England Fights! I have a very formidable and experienced opponent, but this belt has been calling my name for a long time and I am going to take what I have worked for all along!"

Bill Jones is one of the pioneers of the New England MMA scene, having competed in the region since 2007. He holds wins over some of the top fighters ever to come out of the area such as UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-9) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-9). Jones has competed at the national level for the World Series of Fighting (WSOF). Like Lacey, he also holds a first-round submission of Jon Lemke to his credit. ב “NEF 33″ in Portland last spring, Jones was victorious over Matt Denning (5-8) via technical knockout in the second round. He is currently a member of Nostos MMA in Somersworth, ניו המפשייר.

“I’m at my most dangerous when I’m focused—and you best believe that I’ll be bringing a whole new level of commitment to my camp with the NEF Featherweight title on the line, a belt that I’ve had my eyes on for a long, זמן רב,” stated Jones. “I have a lot left in the tank and I’m out to prove in this fight that I’m no journeyman—I’m hard work for anyone that wants some. I can’t wait to be back in the NEF cage and put on a show for everyone!"

האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” תראה שהחברה תחזור לאאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. האירוע אמור להתקיים בשבת, נובמבר 17, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים מוצעים כעת באתר www.AuraMaine.com.

“כשמאמן (כריס) יאנג שאל אותי אם אני חופשי ב -17 בנובמבר, חשבתי שהוא רוצה שאהיה ילדת המים עבור החבר'ה בכרטיס,” גרסו נרתע. “אני אומר זאת בצחוק, אבל היו לנו כמה מאבקים במציאת עליות התאמה ל- WMMA של יאנג (אומנויות לחימה מעורבות נשים) צוות בעבר. אני והבנות שלי רעבות להילחם. אז כשהוא שאל אם אלחם בצ'לסי, שהוא לוחם שלא נסוג מכלום, כמובן שהתשובה שלי הייתה 'כן.’ אני מעריץ את צ'לסי ומוכן להראות מופע של האוהדים, הצוות שלי והעיר היפה פורטלנד, מיין בנובמבר הקרוב.”

הצופה המזדמן לא צריך לתת לתקליט של צ'לסי טאקר להטעות אותם. מְקוּטָע, מוכשר ומלא לב, טאקר באה להילחם בכל פעם שהיא נכנסת לכלוב. היא הופיעה ארבע פעמים בכלוב ה- NEF, כולל משחק התמודדות ללא סנקציה עם קרול לין פאוול שהלך לתיקו באפריל האחרון בפורטלנד. טאקר משרתת בגאווה את ארצה כמומחית קולינרית כשמשמר החופים של ארצות הברית מוצב בבותביי, מיין. היא מתאמנת עם MMA ממדרגה ראשונה בברונסוויק, מיין.

“אני מאוד מתרגש לחזור לכלוב,” אמר טאקר. “אני מצפה להילחם ב- B.J. זה הולך להיות קרב גדול, ואני מצפה לייצג שוב את כושר הכושר שלי ואת הכישורים שלי בכלוב ה- NEF.”

האירוע הבא מעורב אמנויות לחימה של NEF, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” תראה שהחברה תחזור לאאורה בפורטלנד, מיין. האירוע אמור להתקיים בשבת, נובמבר 17, 2018 עם שעת פעמון של 7 pm. כרטיסים מוצעים כעת באתר www.AuraMaine.com.
