Portland, Maine (Septiembre 18, 2018) - Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) llevará a cabo su evento final-de artes marciales mixtas de 2018, “NEF 36: Batalla por el oro,” en sábado, Noviembre 17 en el Aura en Portland, Maine. El día de hoy, la promoción de la pelea anunció la adición de una pelea amateur de peso intermedio a la cartelera. Jacob Deppmeyer (1-1-1) se enfrentará a zac Richard (2-0) en un peso pelea de 140 libras.
Jacob Deppmeyer is coming off a “lucha de la noche” performance earlier this month at “NEF 35” in Bangor, Maine. 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’ cuadros de mando. 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” en la primavera de 2017. Deppmeyer trains with First Class MMA based in Brunswick, Maine.
“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 “Novato del Año” 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 bajo el ex campeón de peso ligero profesional de NEF, and current UFC competitor, Devin Powell (9-3).
“I can’t wait to get back in the NEF cage in Portland, close to home for my family and friends,” dijo 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.”
