路易斯頓, 緬因 (八月 18, 2016) - 論九月 10, 2016 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) returns to Lewiston with its next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” 今天早些時候，, NEF announced the addition of a professional bantamweight mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout to the fight card. 埃利亞斯 “危險老鼠” 利蘭 (2-1) 已經簽署，以滿足 Walter Smith Cotito (3-4) 在135磅重的戰鬥.

 

Six of Leland’s combined seven amateur and professional MMA fights have taken place in the NEF cage. The Portland, Maine resident’s only loss to date in NEF was in his last fight against Jay Perrin (2-2) in the spring of 2015. Late last year, Leland made his pro boxing debut in the NEF ring, taking Josh Parker (0-3-1) to a draw on the judges’ 記分卡. He has proven to be strong in both his standup and on the mat. 利蘭, a member of Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner’s The Academy of MMA in Portland, is a dangerous opponent no matter where a fight ends up.

 

“I have been working hard since last year to become better in every aspect of my game,” 利蘭說. “I can’t wait to test myself on this tough dude. 祝好運, Walter – and prepare yourself for a hell of a show!”

 

Walter Smith Cotito is no stranger to the NEF cage. 九月 2013, Cotito shocked Maine fans by submitting former NEF MMA Pro Lightweight Champion Bruce Boyington (13-8) in the first round of a bout at “NEF X.” 最近, Cotito competed at Bellator 144 在康涅狄格. He holds a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and is based out of Team Link in Hooksett, 新罕布什爾.

 

“I think this kid is really brave to take a fight with me, but I will make sure I’m his worst nightmare,” exclaimed Cotito when reached for comment.
