Lewiston, Maine (Desanm 13, 2016) -Nouvo England Goumen (Nef) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Fevriye 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Nef 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bout to the card. Angela Young (1-2) returns to the NEF cage to take on Christine Brothwell (0-2) in the flyweight division.
Young, the wife of Young’s MMA founder and head coach Chris Young, made her MMA debut in the fall of 2015. Somehow finding the time to fight while being a fulltime mother and working overnight as a registered nurse, Young would compete three times in just an eight-month period. Genyen oswa pèdi, she has been known to put on “fight of the night” performances, including Young’s last bout with Kylie O’Hearn (1-2) nan “NEF 23” in Hyannis, Massachusetts this past May.
“I’ve taken some time off from the cage since my last fight, but I’ve never stopped training,” said Young when reached for comment. “Young’s is growing, and team training has been elevated to a higher standard because of the new talent. I’m looking forward to stepping back in the NEF cage in February. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, and you better believe I’m coming for a win.”
Like her opponent, Brothwell is a registered nurse. She is based in New Hampshire and is a member of team Bucket Brigade in Nashua. While she will be making her NEF debut on Fevriye 11, Brothwell is no stranger to the MMA cage. She has competed twice previously and she promises a memorable fight for both Young and the fans in Lewiston.
“I fully respect my opponent, her abilities and training, but I train with the best in New England,” stated Brothwell. “Genyen oswa pèdi, you will always remember the time you fought me. This won’t just be the best female fight on the card, it’s going to be fight of the night.”
NEF’s next event, “Nef 27: RESURGENCE” pran plas sou Samdi, Fevriye 11, 2017 nan 7 p.m. Biyè kòmanse nan $25 epi yo sou vant kounye a nan www.TheColisee.com oswa lè w rele biwo nan bwat Colisee nan 207.783.2009, extension 525.
