In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professionele Liggewig Kampioen Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “First Class” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, egter, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Ongeag, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on Junie 13 in Lewiston.
NEF homegrown talent, en 2014 “Vegter van die Jaar,” Crowsneck BOUTIN (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “Die Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) in 'n middelgewig bout.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.
