Bangor, Maine (Juli 18, 2016) – When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White comes to Bangor onAgustus 5, 2016 to check out the local talent New England Fights (Wiro sableng) has to offer, Jesse “Viking” Erickson (7-5) will unfortunately have to watch from the sidelines. Erickson suffered an injury while training for his bout with Jon Lemke (5-5) previously-scheduled to take place that evening. White will be present to record a future episode of his web series Dana Putih: Lookin’ for a Fight in which professional mixed-martial-artists have a shot at earning a UFC contract based on their performance.
Within mere hours of being informed of Erickson’s injury, NEF executives had found a replacement in the form of the promotion’s reigning professional lightweight champion Devin Powell (7-1). The bout will be a non-title contest scheduled for three-rounds at a catchweight of 160-pounds. It is a rematch of a May 2014 NEF fight which Powell won via first-round submission. Should Lemke win the rematch, he will be in line for a title shot in the rubber match.
“Sawise maneh, I am incredibly thankful and grateful to NEF for making this fight happen,” ngandika Lemke. “Getting an opponent change last minute is usually pretty stressful. Not this time, Nanging, as the crew at NEF was on top of it, and the next day I had a new opponent. I am very much looking forward to getting another crack at Devin, as I had a horrible showing in our first fight. Devin is a highly-touted and talented fighter and I expect an all out battle for sure. I have been looking forward to another crack at him for some time and you will see the best Jon Lemke yet.”
“Taking a short notice fight against Lemke was a no brainer,” stated Powell. “No way could I pass on a chance to fight a fellow Mainer a few hours away from my mom’s hometown of Allagash, Maine. Dana, I hope you get your popcorn, because you’re about to see a show. Hell or high water, I’m getting my hand raised.”
