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 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) fará sua estréia profissional contra 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” prêmio.
Speaking of 2016 vencedores, o “Lutador do Ano,” pluma perspectiva 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 registro como um amador, winning regional titles along the way.
