The bout is one that Maine fight fans have waited a long time to see.

With Lemke competing out of Marcus Davis’ Team Irish ni nitosi Brewer, Maine, awọn agbelebu-ilu orogun ti Young ká MMA, Boyington and Lemke seemed like natural rivals. But they often passed like ships in the night, and the stars never aligned for an encounter between the two.

Bruce is the man and has done a phenomenal job promoting himself as champion, and in the process brought a lot of attention to the rest of the MMA community in the area. He has a couple of titles with different promotions and had fights on the national stage. He presents a unique and explosive set of challenges that I very much look forward to rising up and meeting that challenge head on.
