In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional bobebe Champion Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Pele 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.

Regardless, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 a Lewiston.
