Lewiston, Maine (Juli 17, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerikas nummer et regional kamp forfremmelse, vil holde sine nittende blandede martial-arts (MMA) begivenhed, “NEF XIX,” på lørdag, September 12, 2015 på Androscoggin Bank Colisée i Lewiston, Maine. Tidligere i dag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the fight card. Darrius Heyliger (4-2) har underskrevet til ansigt Brandon Chagnon (5-4) ved en kamp vægt på 170-pounds.
Darrius Heyliger was a regular on the main card of NEF events during the promotion’s infancy. Making the long trip from his home in Ithaca, New York flere gange, Heyliger built quite the fan following for himself in Maine and became one of the most popular out-of-state fighters competing in NEF. Heyliger impressed many with his victories over Jarod Lawton (4-2) og Josh Bellows (1-2). He would go on to headline “NEF VII” mod den legendariske Marcus Davis (22-11) in one of the biggest fights in NEF history. At Bout, i maj 2013, var sidste gang Heyliger ville konkurrere i NEF, eller enhver forfremmelse for den sags skyld, indtil “NEF XIX.”
“Jeg føler mig som den tid væk fra sporten var behov, og jeg er nu klar til at tage over og dominere,” said Heyliger. “Og for at gøre min comeback kamp foran Maine fans, og for NEF, hvor understøtningen er så stærk, gør det så meget bedre.”
“Vi er virkelig glade for at have Darrius kommer tilbage,” sagde NEF medejer og matchmaker Matt Peterson. “He’s one of those fighters the fans are always asking us to bring back. His fight with Jarod Lawton was one of the most brutal to ever take place in the NEF cage. He’ll have his work cut out for him with Brandon Chagnon though.”
Brandon Chagnon began competing in MMA over seven years ago. He is a member of Mark DellaGrotte’s world-renown Sityodtong located in Somerville, Massachusetts. Chagnon is also a trainer at TITLE Boxing Club in North Andover, Massachusetts. He has won his last two fights in a row, both by submission. Like his opponent, Chagnon har ikke konkurreret i temmelig lang tid, his last bout taking place in the spring of 2014. He is confident that he can defeat Heyliger on September 12 i Lewiston.
“Jeg er spændt jeg får chancen for at konkurrere i en tilstand, jeg ikke tidligere har kæmpet i, og foran en ny flok, der måske ikke har haft mulighed for at se mig konkurrere før,” said Chagnon. “Dette er min tiende professionel MMA kamp, so it is important to me to go out make a statement. I train with what is highly regarded as the best team in the northeast and they are like family to me. With them standing behind me, Jeg ved, at hvis jeg kæmper på min fulde potentiale, I am trouble for any 170-pound fighter. From what I know, Darrius seems like a tough opponent and we have similar records on paper. Men, Jeg har ingen tvivl i mit sind, at jeg vil walking væk med en anden sejr.”
