FOR LAUNCHING Kepala Bagian: Lewiston, Maine (May 4, 2017) Kämpfe -Imagination Inggris (Wiro sableng) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Setu, Juni 17, 2017 with the fight promotion’s next event, “Wiro sableng 29: STARS & STRIPES.” The event will feature a full slate of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) lan pertarungan tinju profesional. The professional portion of the card will feature a high-level catchweight bout between Paul Gorman (10-9) lan James “The Flyin’ Hawaiian” Blair (5-0) at 130-pounds.
Paul Gorman is a twelve-year veteran of the New England MMA circuit. He captured the NEF Bantamweight Title at “NEF 5.” Gorman would go on to successfully defend that title against Tateki Matsuda (12-8) in a five-round split decision victory that is to this day considered one of the greatest battles to ever take place in the NEF cage. Months later, Matsuda would sign with the UFC. Gorman finally dropped the title in the summer of 2014 to Tim Goodwin (10-6) in a hard-fought, five-round decision loss. He has not competed in the MMA cage since.
Gorman received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Maine MMA pioneer, and head coach of the Academy of MMA in Portland, Jay Jack. He has spent the last month training on the Indonesian island of Bali at Anthony Leone’s gym known as “Bali MMA.” Longtime NEF fans will recall that Leone (15-7) and Gorman were the co-main event of “NEF I.”
“I’m happy to be returning to the NEF cage on Juni 17,” said Gorman when reached for comment in Bali. “It’s been what feels like forever since I’ve been under the lights, and I can’t wait to get in there and compete again.”
A native of Hawaii now based in Florida, undefeated James Blair represents the world-renowned American Top Team (TO) Kelapa Creek. After an amateur career of 7-1, Blair turned pro in 2014. He captured the Island Fights Flyweight Title late last year. Blair will make his NEF debut on Juni 17 against Gorman. Bubar, Blair has trained with former NEF Lightweight Champion, and current UFC signee, Devin Powell (8-2) at ATT. He even travelled north with Powell to make an in-cage appearance announcing the Gorman fight at “NEF 28” last weekend in Lewiston.
“I want to thank Matt Peterson and the NEF crew for offering this opportunity,” stated Blair. “It is an honor to be stepping into competition with a veteran and pioneer of the sport.”
