“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to step into the NEF cage once again,” dit Cofone. “With my coaches and teammates from the Academy behind me, I know I’ll be able to have a great performance. June 18th is going to be an awesome night for the NEF fans and an even better night for the Westbrook wrestling alumni!”
Steve Bang is a member of the famous Bang fighting family of Auburn, Maine. Sur Juin 18, he will join his father and brothers in the NEF MMA cage.

“I’m super pumped to fight with all of my family,” Saïd Bang. “It’s always a great experience. This past year has been a rough year for me in many different ways and I feel like I am just – as of a month or two ago – coming out of it. I feel great in all aspects; mentalement, spirituellement, and physically. I am fired up and ready to do battle with so much of my family doing what Bangs’ do just fires me up more. I’m excited to fight alongside Shawn again who I haven’t seen dans deux ans and have only spoken to three times. I’m excited to fight Dom. I think it will be a great match up. I don’t get to fight many wrestlers. And I want to thank him for the opportunity to allow me to do what I love to do.”
