Voor onmiddellijke publicatie: Lewiston, Maine (Januari 6, 2017) -nieuwe Engeland Fights (NEF) keert terug naar de Androscoggin Bank Colisee op Februari 11, 2017 met haar volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: Weer zijn toegenomen.” Eerder vandaag, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional catchweight fight to the card. Mat “Ken Doll” Denning (3-5) is gepland te staan Ricky Dexter (0-0) at a weight of 160-pounds.
Denning is fresh off an appearance for World Series of Fighting (WSOF) at Madison Square Garden in New York City this past New Year’s Eve. All of Denning’s previous professional bouts had been for NEF. The Lewiston resident is looking to break a string of three losses after submitting Derek Shorey (4-8) last spring at “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Denning is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
“I’m coming back to NEF to make a statement,” said Denning emphatically. “I’m coming off of a couple of losses in a row and I’m coming to get that win. They think I’m all Jiu Jitsu and can’t take a punch. You want to brawl with me? Let’s stand toe-to-toe. You’re going to try and lay on me like you did in your amateur career? I’m going to welcome Dexter to the pros in a mean way. It’s a new level here and I’m going to come out on top!’
Ricky Dexter will vacate the NEF Amateur Welterweight Title to turn professional and face Denning on Februari 11. Dexter won that championship last February with a first-round technical knockout of Caleb Farrington (3-1). Als amateur, Dexter put together a very impressive record of 5-2 with all five of his wins coming by finish. Dexter represents Team Irish in Brewer, Maine.
“Once Matt Denning feels my power and the inability to take me down, he’s going to be looking for a way out like he always does, except I’m not looking for the sub,” Said Dexter. “11 februari, I’m going to show the NEF fans that Matt Denning is in the fight game for the wrong reasons. I’m coming from the ‘ammo league,’ but I’ve been training with killers my whole career. I’m going to show everyone I belong here.”
