ويستون, مين (أكتوبر 3, 2016) – في وقت سابق من اليوم, معارك نيو انغلاند (NEF) executives announced the main event of “NEF 26: SUPREMACY.” “ال” ريان ساندرز (11-8) ستواجه جون يمكه (5-6) in a lightweight bout at the Androscoggin Bank Colisee in Lewiston on السبت, تشرين الثاني 19.
At one time, Sanders and Lemke were teammates at Marcus Davis’s Team Irish gym in Brewer, مين. That all changed when Sanders left and joined cross-town rival Young’s MMA in Bangor.
“I’m very happy to be fighting back in Lewiston,” said Sanders. “I’m thankful that Jon took this fight seeing how several top-ten lightweights turned it down. But that’s why I like Jon, he’s a fighter’s fighter and he never backs down from a tough fight. مع أن يقال, I look forward to developing a game plan that’ll shut down his strengths and have my hand raised at the end of the night.”
The bout will be Sanders’ second since returning to the NEF fold. Sanders defeated Derrick Kennington (11-8) في أغسطس الماضي في “NEF Presents دانا وايت: ينظر في’ للقتال.” He recently inked a multi-fight developmental deal with NEF.
“Ryan Sanders and NEF go way back,” stated Sanders’ coach Chris Young when asked about Sanders’ recent signing of an NEF developmental deal. “Ryan fought on several NEF shows, including headlining ‘NEF I.’ هكذا, it’s only fitting that Ryan has finally found his way home. A hard working athlete deserves a hard working promotion and I believe NEF is the perfect vehicle to give Ryan that last push into the next level.”
Lemke will be coming into the fight hungry for a win. His last victory in the NEF cage will have been almost a year to the day when he defeated Matt Denning (3-4) في ويستون في “NEF XX.” Lemke is coming off a loss to NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Champion Devin Powell (8-1) this past August in Bangor.
“What a great opportunity I have been presented by New England Fights to fight Ryan Sanders,” وقال ليمكه. “Ryan has been in, and done well, with the very best of New England. He is a well-rounded fighter and will challenge me in all areas. I very much look forward to this challenge and know that there will be fireworks for sure in this fight.”
