Lewiston, Maine (Gennaio 11, 2017) -Nuova Inghilterra Combattimenti (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Febbraio 11, 2017 con il suo prossimo evento di arti marziali miste, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Proprio oggi, 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) assumerà John Ortolani (8-10) mentre Jon Lemke (5-7) facce 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” entro quest'anno.
In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Ras Hylton (0-0) farà il suo debutto professionale contro Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Hylton, o “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie of the Year” by NEF fans after going 3-0 come un dilettante. 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” premio.
Speaking of 2016 vincitori del premio, il “Fighter of the Year,” piuma prospettiva 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 record come un dilettante, winning regional titles along the way.
The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) difende contro 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 “Fight of the 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 Walker (2-1), mentre Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).
