Making the long trip from his home in Ithaca, New York ni igba pupọ, Heyliger built quite the fan following for himself in Maine and became one of the most popular out-of-state fighters competing in NEF.

“A n gan yiya lati ti Darrius bọ pada,” wi NEF àjọ-eni ati 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.

With them standing behind me, Mo mọ wipe ti o ba ni mo jà ni kikun mi pọju, I am trouble for any 170-pound fighter.
