Featured on the professional portion of the card will be a light-heavyweight matchup between Crowsneck Boutin (1-0) futhi Mike “Amadevu” Hansen (2-2). Both men are competing under NEF developmental deals.
Muva, Boutin was NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson’s guest on the NEF Podcast. Boutin discussed, phakathi kwezinye izihloko, ayekhula Lubec, Maine, the iziqubu oluzayo Hansen, and his recent signing to a multi-fight NEF development deal. Boutin and Peterson touched on their first meeting some three-and-a-half years ago, ngaphambi nje Boutin wenza DEBUT yakhe amateur at “NEF III.”
“Ngase ukuzihlalela a buddies ezimbalwa owangena amathikithi yakho (NEF) Isenzakalo sokuqala, ngakho ngaya ukuthi kanti kwakuyinto kunabo,” recalled Boutin. “I remember talking with people and then contacting you. I really wasn’t doing anything at that time. I was feeling kind of lost. I was kind of clinging to the feeling of want. I just wanted to do something. Okuningi, I liked to fight and scrap. I always watched the sport. I guess it just all came together at that time.”
With akukho ukuqeqeshwa ngokusemthethweni, Boutin would lose his first bout. Ngokushesha ngemva kwalokho, Peterson ubeke Boutin nabo Umqeqeshi Jon Pinette of the Choi Institute e Portland, Maine. It is there that Boutin found his footing in the martial arts while, ngesikhathi esifanayo, ekwakheni ubungane obuqinile kanye nobudlelwano nabalingani.
“Kuyinto umkhathi pretty awesome,” said Boutin of the Choi Institute. “Angikaze wasala endaweni eyodwa isikhathi eside kakhulu ekuphileni kwami konke, except for this place. I don’t see myself leaving. It’s a great atmosphere over here. I called Jon. I remember being really nervous to call Jon, Bengicabanga ngalokhu ekuqaleni, kodwa wayememela ngempela… Wonke umuntu lapha iye ngokumema ngempela, really supporting. There’s a really good mix of people here. We have young to old. We have everything in between. It’s a very accepting place to be. It’s a great place to train. Everyone gets along inside and outside the gym.”
Boutin isinqumo ukuvula professional ekuqaleni kwalo nyaka ngemva kokuba ligcwaliswe in a isamba 13 ukulwa amateur. He would defeat MMA Athletix head coach Ryan Cowette (2-3) in his debut. In doing so, Boutin yazuza elithile revenge njengoba kwakunjalo protégé Cowette sika Brent Dillingham (1-1) ngubani eyayisikhiphile Boutin ukulahlekelwa sakhe sokuqala Boutin sika amateur DEBUT at “NEF III.” Boutin says that there really was no animosity between himself and Cowette, kodwa exchange post-impi phakathi Boutin and Dillingham at “NEF III” in 2012 is still in the back of his mind. He admits that he would love a rematch with Dillingham in the near future.
“Ngokwazi Brent Dillingham iya, yena omunye ngingathanda ngempela ukulwa maduzane 205 uma ungathola ukuma ukungihlangabeza khona,” Boutin declared. “Ngithanda ukuthatha abe ngesinye isikhathi ukulwa ngokushesha.”
