PER IL RILASCIO IMMEDIATO: Orono, Maine (Febbraio 19, 2020) - Combattimenti New England (NEF) presenterà i suoi prossimi misto di arti marziali (MMA) at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. The event, dal titolo “NEF 43: Furia,”Avrà luogo il Sabato, Aprile 18, 2020, con una campana in tempo 7 pm EDT.Zac “Rocky” Richard(6-2-1) is scheduled to defend the NEF Amateur Lightweight Title that evening against the challenge ofDevin Corson(3-1). They will meet at the lightweight championship limit of 155 pounds in a bout scheduled for five three-minute rounds.
Richard won the then-vacant championship last November in Portland, Maine with a unanimous decision victory over “Magic” Mike Murray (3-2). He is no stranger to titles, having won a Maine State Championship wrestling for Massabesic High School in Waterboro in 2015. The win capped a tremendous sophomore year in the cage for Richard as the follow-up to his 2018 “Rookie of the Year” season. The last time Richard fought on the stage of the Collins Center, nel mese di settembre 2019, he scored a vicious slam knockout of Erik Tainter (0-2). The slam has become a signature move for Richard over the course of his young career. He is a product of Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire dove si allena sotto UFC veterano ed ex NEF professionale campione leggero Devin Powell (10-4).
“Devin can say whatever he wants about me winning my title ‘at the right time,’” said Richard. “He’s had his offers. He’s got it. Unluckily for him, he’s got the most motivated Zac there has ever been. I do predict this fight, anche se, to be a great one.”
Speaking of slams, there may be no athlete who has ever delivered more highlight-reel slams in the NEF cage than the challenger Devin Corson. Like Richard, Corson brings a strong wrestling base with him to the MMA game, having been a standout competitor on the mats for Foxcroft Academy in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine. Corson is currently riding a two-fight win-streak with unanimous decision wins over both Jacob Deppmeyer (ora 1-0 come un pro) and Taylor Bartlett (2-3-1) in 2019. He represents the Outlet based in Dexter, Maine.
“I don’t think much about Zac besides he is in my way,” stated Corson. “He’s the man I have to defeat to get the 155 belt. After all is said and done, I will be the one with my hand raised.”
