Lewiston, Maine (Tammikuu 11, 2017) -Uusi England Taistelee (NEF) palaa Androscoggin Bank Colisee -palveluun Helmikuu 11, 2017 sen seuraavan sekalaisen taistelulajitapahtuman kanssa, “NEF 27: ELPYMINEN.” Aiemmin tänään, 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) ottavat John Ortolani (8-10) kun taas Jon Lemke (5-7) kasvot 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) tekee hänen ammatillisen debyyttinsä vastaan Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Hylton, tai “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Vuoden tulokas” by NEF fans after going 3-0 amatöörinä. 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 Submission of the Year” palkinto.
Speaking of 2016 palkinnon voittajat, the “Fighter of the Year,” höyhenenkevyt mahdollisuus 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 äänittää amatööri, winning regional titles along the way.
The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) puolustaa vastaan 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 Nuori (1-2), who put on multiple “Fight Night” 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), kun taas Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).
