Heyliger impressed many with his victories over Jarod Lawton (4-2) e Josh Bellows (1-2). He would go on to headline “NEF VII” contra o lendario Marcus Davis (22-11) in one of the biggest fights in NEF history. Esa loita, en maio 2013, Foi a última vez Heyliger ía competir en NEF, ou calquera promoción para que o asunto, ata “NEF XIX.”
“Eu sinto que o tempo lonxe da era necesario o deporte, e agora eu estou listo para asumir e dominar,” said Heyliger. “E para facer o meu retorno loita diante dos fans de Maine e para NEF, en que o apoio é tan forte, que o fai moito mellor.”
“Estamos moi animado para ter Darrius volver,” said NEF co-owner and 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 non competiu en algún tempo, his last bout taking place in the spring of 2014. He is confident that he can defeat Heyliger on Setembro 12 en Lewiston.
“Estou animado teño a oportunidade de competir nun estado que non xa loitou en, e diante dunha multitude nova que pode non ter tido a oportunidade de me ver competir antes,” said Chagnon. “Esta é a miña décima loita de MMA profesional, 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, Sei que se eu loitar no meu potencial, 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. Con todo, Non teño ningunha dúbida na miña mente que eu vou estar indo aínda que con unha vitoria.”
