即時發布: 路易斯頓, 緬因 (四月 30, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十八屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十八NEF: 美國製造,” 上 星期六, 六月 13, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. 今天早些時候，, the promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the fight card. The contest will feature 埃利亞斯 “危險老鼠” 利蘭 (2-1) stepping into the cage opposite 乍得 “機槍” 黃綠色 (3-2) at the bantamweight limit of 135-pounds.
“Chad Kelly and Eli Leland are two guys who couldn’t put on a boring fight if they tried,” 說NEF共同擁有者和推動者尼克DiSalvo. “Chad had the ‘Fight of the Night’ on one of the first cards I ever promoted in Massachusetts years ago. I’ve followed his career since and have seen how far he’s come. Eli’s fights always steal the show on the NEF events. Fans will only need the edge of their seats for this one.”
Kelly last appeared in the NEF cage in the fall of 2013 在 “NEF X.” 那天晚上, he defeated NEF regular Ernesto Ornelas (1-5) via second-round submission. Kelly has regularly competed in the flyweight 125-pound division throughout his career, but he and his coaches at The Fighting Arts Academy (FAA) in Leominster, Massachusetts decided to make the transition up to bantamweight beginning with the upcoming fight against Leland.
“I’m very excited to be fighting for NEF in Lewiston, Maine again,” stated Kelly when reached for comment. “I fought for them my second pro fight and I loved the way they treat their fighters and how smooth everything went – 更多, getting the ‘W’ was nice. This fight I’m moving up to bantamweight. My coaches and I thought it was the right time. I started fighting at 19 and just have gained weight and have a massive cut to 125, plus I train with good 35ers and 45ers and do better when I’m heavier. Elias Leland is a tough grappler with good submissions. I’m sure he will be tough, but I think I will have an advantage everywhere the fight goes.”
利蘭, a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt from the Academy of MMA in Portland, 緬因, will look to avenge a loss he suffered earlier this month to Jay Perrin (2-0) 在 “NEF十七。” The loss was his first since his amateur debut against Ray Wood (5-1) 九月 2011. Leland has become known as a finisher over the years, submitting four opponents and defeating one via technical knockout (WHO) at previous NEF events.
“I have nothing but respect for anyone that is willing to fight me,” 利蘭說. “然而, coming off a loss, I’m pissed and hungry as hell. This will be an exciting fight for anyone that sees it. So you all better be there to see an amazing show.”
