波特兰, 缅因 (九月 18, 2018) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” 周六, 十一月 17 在Aura在波特兰, 缅因. 今天早些时候，, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card. 雅各布Deppmeyer (1-1-1) 将面临 理查德·扎克 (2-0) 战斗重量为140磅.
Jacob Deppmeyer is coming off a “夜战” performance earlier this month at “新EF 35” in Bangor, 缅因. 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’ 记分卡. 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 “新EF 28” in the spring of 2017. Deppmeyer trains with First Class MMA based in Brunswick, 缅因.
“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 “年度最佳新秀” 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 under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, and current UFC competitor, 德文 - 鲍威尔 (9-3).
“I can’t wait to get back in the NEF cage in Portland, close to home for my family and friends,” said 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.”
