לעוויסטאָן, מיין (פעברואַר 1, 2016) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף), אַמעריקע ס נומער-איינער רעגיאָנאַל קאַמף העכערונג, וועט האַלטן זייַן ווייַטער געשעעניש, "נעף 21: THE IMMORTALS” this שבת, פעברואַר 6, 2016 בייַ די אַנדראָסקאָגגין באַנק קאָליסעע אין לעוויסטאָן, מיין. The fight card is scheduled to feature both mixed martial arts (ממאַ) and professional boxing bouts. Earlier today, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur light heavyweight championship bout to the card. ריאַן גלאָווער (2-1) will face Mike Williams (1-0) for the inaugural NEF amateur 205-pound title.
Prior to competing in MMA, Ryan Glover was a standout dual sport athlete at Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, מיין. A state champion wrestler, Glover made his biggest mark on the football field where he was named the “Football Player of the Year” by the Lewiston Sun Journal in 2010.
לעצטע יאָר, Glover faced Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) for the NEF amateur heavyweight championship. Glover lost a close decision in an exciting, hard-hitting physical contest. איצט, faster and more agile at a lower weight, Glover has his sights set on finally achieving NEF gold.
“The weight cut has not been fun, but has gone easier than expected,” stated Glover, when asked about his cut down to 205-pounds. “I feel a lot better as I approach 205 and I think I’ll like fighting at this weight. It’s going to be bittersweet to hold the belt at 205. I lost a close slugfest last June simply because I didn’t stick to our game plan. I dropped the ball that night and you can rest assured that’s not going to happen again. I hope Williams has been training as hard as I have, ווייַל, if so, it’s going to be a fight that no one wants to miss. I’ll see you February 6th and don’t be late—this is a show worth traveling 1000 miles for.”
Mike Williams took a collective gasp out of the Androscoggin Bank Colisee when he came out guns blazing in his debut at “NEF XX: A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE” last November. ווילליאַמס, a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (בדזשדזש) blue belt and member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (קמבדזשדזש) אין אַבערן, blasted fellow newcomer Joe Krech (0-1) out of the gate before securing a fight-ending armbar in a spectacular 26-seconds into the first round. The dizzying debut was enough to earn the impressive young Williams a shot at NEF gold.
“This fight is just another step and he’s in the way,” stated Williams flatly when asked for comment.
“This is another Easter egg of a fight on a star-studded card that is destined to deliver for the whole night,"סטייטיד נעף גלויבנס-באַזיצער און שאַדכן מאַט פּעטערסאָן. “When I look at this fight and the skill sets that both Ryan and Mike bring to the cage, I get goose bumps. Both are athletic, אַגרעסיוו, young and hungry guys that want to turn heads when they compete—and will stop at nothing to win. Based on what I’ve witnessed in their fights so far, I don’t see an ounce of quit in either fighter. I can’t wait to watch the way this one goes down on Saturday.”
