波特兰, 缅因 (四月 18, 2018) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 返回到Aura在波特兰, 缅因州即将举办下一场综合格斗赛事, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” 周六 夜晚, 六月 16, 2018. 今天早些时候，, the fight promotion officially announced a professional featherweight bout for the card. 亚伦 “狠” 莱西 (5-1) 定要面对 Da’Mon “钻石” Blackshear (4-1).

After suffering the first loss of his professional career in late 2017 – a doctor stoppage due to a cut on his head during a bout in New Hampshire – Lacey bounced back this past February with a big victory at “新EF 32” 在路易斯顿, 缅因. He came out aggressive in the first round against veteran Josh Parker (6-10), forcing Parker to tap late in the first-round to a rear-naked choke. And while it certainly was an impressive win for the 2016 NEF Fighter of the Year and product of Young’s MMA, Lacey felt that he had more to showcase for his fans. He will get the opportunity again on 六月 16 against Blackshear.

“It’s time once again to do what I love in front of the fans that I love,” said Lacey. “My last fight was really quick, and I didn’t get to showcase what I have been working on. Although I’m always going for the finish, I will be looking to put on an entertaining show that fans will not soon forget!”

Based out of Fayetteville, 北卡罗来纳, Da’Mon Blackshear began his MMA career in the fall of 2014. He put together a stellar amateur record of 7-1, capturing two championships in the southeastern region of the country. Upon turning professional, Blackshear, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu purple belt, has taken three of his four pro victories by way of submission. He has earned gold in numerous submission-only grappling events, regularly defeating black belts and larger opponents. Blackshear serves as a coach of Team R.O.C. in Fayetteville.

“我准备好了,” exclaimed Blackshear when reached for comment. “June 16th it’s going down, so Aaron Lacey come prepared!”

NEF的下一个混合武术事件, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, 缅因州周六, 六月 16, 2018. 门票现已在网上发售 www.AuraMaine.com.
