Lewiston, Maine (Ionawr 11, 2017) Ymladd -newydd Lloegr (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Chwefror 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Yn gynharach heddiw, the fight promotion announced the full card for the event. The night will feature both amateur and professional MMA bouts.
Headlining the evening will be the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new professional lightweight champion. The title was vacated when previous champion Devin Powell (8-1) signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Ryan Sanders (12-8) Bydd yn cymryd ar John Ortolani (8-10) tra Jon Lemke (5-7) wynebau Jesse Erickson (9-5) in a rematch from Bellator 93. The winners of those two bouts will meet in the finals tentatively scheduled for “NEF 28” later this year.
In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Ras Hylton (0-0) bydd yn gwneud ei ymddangosiad cyntaf yn broffesiynol yn erbyn Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Hylton, neu “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie y Flwyddyn” by NEF fans after going 3-0 fel amatur. Hansen was a Maine state wrestling champion for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS), and he has developed quite a reputation for downing larger opponents on both the mats and the MMA cage. Hansen was the recipient of the “2016 Cyflwyno'r Flwyddyn” dyfarniad.
Speaking of 2016 Enillwyr gwobrau, y “Ymladdwr y Flwyddyn,” gobaith pwysau plu Aaron Lacey (4-0), will look for his fifth consecutive victory in less than a year when he meets Florida’s Chris Jacobs (1-0). Jacobs put together an impressive 8-3 cofnodi fel amatur, winning regional titles along the way.
The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) yn amddiffyn yn erbyn Victor Irwin (2-0). Glover has held the title since last February. Both Glover and Irwin were Maine state wrestling champions – Glover with MVHS and Irwin with Brewer High School.
Also scheduled on the amateur card are no less than three women’s bouts. Angela Young (1-2), who put on multiple “Ymladd y Nos” performances in 2016, returns to face New Hampshire’s Christine Brothwell (0-2). Young’s teammate, Katie Baker (0-0), will make her in-cage debut against another tough competitor from the Granite State in the form of Alex Walker (2-1), tra Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).
