After a year’s absence, “Dangerous” Dom “Mãos de pedra” Cofone (6-5) will return to the NEF MMA cage to face Steve bang, Jr. (3-5) com um peso de combate de 155 libras-.
Dom Cofone was a Class A state wrestling champion out of Westbrook High School in Westbrook, Maine. He entered the MMA ranks in February of 2013. Desde essa altura, he has been featured on nine NEF cards. Cofone’s last appearance in the promotion was in June 2015 em “NEF 18.” Naquela noite, Cofone submitted Jason Lachance (2-3) na segunda rodada. He is currently a member of the Academy of MMA in Portland, Maine, training under MMA pioneers Jay Jack and Amanda Buckner.
“I’m so thankful for the opportunity to step into the NEF cage once again,” said 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. Em Junho 18, he will join his father and brothers in the NEF MMA cage. Bang wrestled as an independent during his years at Edward Little High School in Auburn, Maine. He is currently a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). Bang will look to rebound from a second-round submission loss to Fabian Miranda (2-0) last week at “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts.
“I’m super pumped to fight with all of my family,” Disse 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; mentalmente, espiritualmente, 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 daqui a dois anos 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.”
