Lewiston, Maine (Janúar 11, 2017) -New England Berst (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Febrúar 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Fyrr í dag, 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) mun taka á John Ortolani (8-10) meðan Jon Lemke (5-7) andlit 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) mun gera faglega frumraun sína gegn Mike Hansen (5-4).

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” verðlaun.
