PRIMUL TITLU MMA PENTRU FEMEI LUPTA ÎN MAINE LA NEF 28
Lewiston, Maine (Martie 17, 2017) – Lupte New England (NEF) prezintă următorul eveniment mixt-arte marțiale “NEF 28: DE NEINVINS” sâmbăta, Aprilie 29, 2017 la Colisee Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. Mai devreme astăzi, promovarea luptei a anunțat adăugarea unei cărți pentru titlul femeilor amatoare. Jessica “Văduva Neagră” A plati (5-2) revine pentru a prelua “Infricosator” Kerri Kenneson (4-1) pentru a încorona un nou campion NEF MMA pentru femei amatori la greutatea gantă.
Combaterea este istorică prin faptul că nu va determina doar primul campion feminin NEF, dar lupta va reprezenta primul meci feminin de titlu MMA care a avut loc vreodată pe solul Maine.
“Divizia noastră de femei a crescut atât de mult în ultimii ani,” a declarat NEF co-proprietar și promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Era timpul să adăugați o imagine de titlu la mix. Aceasta este prima dintre ceea ce sperăm să fie multe lupte pentru titluri feminine între sportivii superiori din cușca NEF.”
Jessica Borga, un rezident din Florida, își va face a treia apariție în cușca NEF în mai puțin de un an. Ea ia dat o decizie luptată lui Rachael Joyce (3-0) septembrie trecut la “NEF 25.” Borga s-a întors în Maine câteva săptămâni mai târziu pentru a câștiga o decizie asupra lui Brianne Genschel (0-1), oferind un impresionant, performanță dominantă împotriva centurii negre. Borga se antrenează din Campionatul MMA din Lakeland, Florida și are în prezent o serie de victorii în trei lupte. Ea deține două titluri regionale câștigate în statul natal, și încearcă să adauge o a treia centură la colecția sa Aprilie 29.
“Sunt atât de onorat și entuziasmat că mă întorc în cușca NEF nu numai că lupt pentru o promoție atât de grozavă, dar să lupte pentru primul lor titlu feminin împotriva unui mare adversar,” spuse Borga. “Abia aștept să fac un spectacol pentru toată lumea, și promit că nu voi dezamăgi!”
Un nativ din Bow, New Hampshire, Kerri Kenneson se antrenează cu Team Link în Hooksett. Ea și-a câștigat ultimele patru la rând, inclusiv o victorie asupra veteranului NEF Kylie O'Hearn (1-2) vara trecuta. Singura pierdere a lui Kenneson a venit în debutul ei MMA în urmă cu doi ani în aprilie. Venind o victorie pe o carte de luptă luna trecută în statul New York, Kenneson este încrezătoare că o va învinge pe Borga și va revendica titlul NEF la bantam “NEF 28.”
“Dacă nu am făcut-o deja, această luptă va consolida faptul că sunt cel mai bun din nord-est, și voi veni pentru restul,” A declarat Kenneson. “E la spectacol. Este pe cale să simtă de ce sunt capabil și nu o să-i placă.”
New England Combate revine la Colisée Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine cu următorul eveniment mixt-arte marțiale, “NEF 28: DE NEINVINS,” pe Sâmbătă, Aprilie 29, 2017. Biletele sunt în vânzare acum la box-office Colisee 207-783-2009 x 525 și online la www.TheColisee.com.

Mai devreme astăzi, the fight promotion announced the addition an amateur women’s bout to the card. Alex Walker (2-1) se va întâlni Katie Baker (0-0) at the strawweight limit of 115-pounds.
Walker and Baker were originally scheduled to face each other last month at “NEF 27.” Din păcate, a medical issue forced Walker to withdraw from the contest just days before the fight. Now fully healed, Walker is back training regularly at the Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire in preparation for “NEF 28.”
“Injuries have plagued me and my team for the last two years, but I am healthy now, so watch out,” exclaimed Walker. “I am going on a run and nothing will stop me!”
Losing her opponent so close to the event was definitely a disappointment for Baker and her many fans. Training in the martial arts from an early age, the eighteen-year-old had waited years to compete in the MMA cage. Baker is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. She made her amateur boxing debut last year.
“I was really bummed when Alex withdrew from our fight,” said Baker. “You make the sacrifices it takes to train and diet, not to mention the disappointment of those who purchased tickets. But I knew, and our fans knew, Alex is a warrior and would not back out unless something was wrong. I’m looking forward to finally meeting her in the cage on 29 aprilie.”

FORMER WRESTLING STANDOUTS SET TO THROW DOWN AT NEF 28
PENTRU DIFUZARE: Lewiston, Maine (Martie 15, 2017) – Lupte New England (NEF) prezintă următorul eveniment mixt-arte marțiale “NEF 28: DE NEINVINS” sâmbăta, Aprilie 29, 2017 la Colisee Androscoggin Bank din Lewiston, Maine. Mai devreme astăzi, the fight promotion announced the addition of a pair of amateur bouts to the card. Ken Dunn(0-4) is set to face Eddie DeRoche (0-1) in a catchweight bout and double amateur debut fighters Caleb Austin (0-0) of Rumford, Maine and James Ploss (0-0) from Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, NH are set to tangle in a feature flyweight bout.
Caleb Austin is a two-time Maine state wrestling champion and a member of the exclusive “200 Wins Club,” a rare feat in Maine wrestling. Austin recently completed his high school career with an overall record of 208-11. Caleb’s father, Eric Austin—also a former Maine state wrestling champion—is an undefeated veteran of the cage, having gone 2-0 in NEF back in 2012. Ca și tatăl său, Caleb is preparing to put his wrestling on display for the NEF fans in his debut on April 29lea.
“I’ve wrestled my entire life and grown-up around the NEF community,” stated Austin when reached for comment. “I’ve been waiting a long time to turn 18 to become eligible to compete in the sport of mixed martial arts like my father did. I’m excited to put my skills to the test, represent Rumford and put on a show in the NEF cage. Sunt gata. "
Austin’s opponent, James Ploss, trains with Greg Williams at the well-known Kaze Dojo in Lancaster, New Hampshire. Several NEF veterans with names familiar to fans, including Allan Josselyn, Mike Bezanson and Alex Walker, hail from the Kaze Dojo. Ploss is committed to carrying on the tradition of strong debuts from the White Mountains gym and following through on a personal promise in the process.
“Fighting is real personal to me,” Ploss stated when reached for comment. “I promised the man that raised me that I would fight. He died shortly after that. I want to prove to him and myself that I can be successful in this sport. My goal is to inspire others to achieve.”
Eddie DeRoche wrestled alongside Austin for Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. During his time there, DeRoche was a two-time state finalist. He made his NEF debut in June 2016 at “NEF 24: PROMISED LAND” in a losing effort against Skyler Bang. Reinvigorated at the opportunity to make up for his debut, DeRoche is committed to finding his first win in the NEF cage on April 29lea at NEF 28.
“My first fight was a great learning experience,” stated DeRoche, when reached for comment. “I appreciated it for what it was and have made the necessary adjustments to make sure I come out on top when I step back into the NEF cage for the second time on April 29lea."
DeRoche’s opponent, Ken Dunn, is also looking for redemption at NEF 28. Dunn has made three prior trips to the NEF cage since debuting with the promotion back in 2015 and is hungry for his first win inside the NEF hexagon.
“I want to show NEF fans that I’m worthy of a rematch and title shot at Velado and that strap,” stated Dunn when reached for comment. “Eddie Deroche is a worthy adversary. I’m excited to compete against him. It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll—and I ain’t stopping until I get there.”
