Lewiston, Maine (Jiyè 17, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, pral kenbe diznevyèm melanje-masyal-boza li yo (Mma) evènman, “Nef XIX,” nan Samdi, Septanm 12, 2015 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisée nan nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of a professional welterweight bout to the fight card. Darrius Heyliger (4-2) te siyen nan figi Brandon Chagnon (5-4) nan yon pwa batay nan 170-liv.
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 plizyè fwa, 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) ak Josh Bellows (1-2). He would go on to headline “Nef VII” kont lejand Marcus Davis la (22-11) in one of the biggest fights in NEF history. Sa bout, nan mwa me 2013, te pase nan tan Heyliger ta konpetisyon nan nef, oswa nenpòt ki pwomosyon pou ki matyè, jouk “Nef XIX.”
“Mwen santi mwen tankou tan an lwen te espò a bezwen, ak mwen se kounye a pare yo pran sou yo ak domine,” said Heyliger. “Men, fè batay reaparisyon m nan devan fanatik yo Maine ak pou nef, kote sipò a se tèlman fò, fè li ki pi bon.”
“Nou ap vrèman eksite yo te Darrius vini tounen,” 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 pa te konpetisyon nan kèk tan, his last bout taking place in the spring of 2014. He is confident that he can defeat Heyliger on Septanm 12 nan Lewiston.
“Mwen kontan mwen jwenn chans la fè konpetisyon nan yon eta mwen pa te deja te batay nan, ak nan devan nan yon nouvo foul moun ki ta ka pa te gen chans lan yo wè m 'konpetisyon anvan,” said Chagnon. “Sa a se dizyèm pwofesyonèl mma batay m ', 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, Mwen konnen ke si mwen goumen nan tout potansyèl mwen, 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. Sepandan, Mwen pa gen dout nan tèt mwen ke mwen pral mache lwen ak yon lòt genyen.”
