Skryf 'n opmerking

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Orono, Maine (Maart 10, 2020) - New England Fights (NEF) bied die volgende gemengde-vechtkunsten aan (Plaasmoorde) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. The event, getiteld “NEF 43: Rampage,”Vind Saterdag plaas, April 18, 2020, met 'n kloktyd van 7 pm EDT. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card.Carl Langston (0-5) is geskeduleer om te voldoen aanAaron “Short Fuse” Hughes(0-0) teen 'n gevegsgewig van 145 pond.

Carl Langston comes into the fight looking for the first win that has eluded him thus far in his professional career. Last month, Langston took on Jacob Deppmeyer (1-0) in Portland, Maine at “NEF 42,” losing via first-round technical knockout. It was his first fight back with the promotion since losing his pro debut in April 2018. Langston, a lifelong practitioner of Taekwondo, currently represents Young’s MMA based in nearby Bangor, Maine.

“It’s been hard getting fights altogether, but even more so in my home state,” noted Langston.  “So, with this last lost I didn’t think I was going to get another fight for a bit. I got in my own head and said I wanted to stop fighting for a bit, but when I got the call three weeks after the loss, I couldn’t say no. This is something I need, back-to-back fights. I just have to show up like I show up in the gym and I’ll get my hand raised without a doubt.”

Aaron Hughes will make both his professional and promotional debuts with NEF. He has had a very active amateur career since his debut in 2015, opstel van 'n rekord van 4-6 while competing on fight cards in his home state of Massachusetts. Hughes represents Regiment Training Center of Fall River, Massachusetts where he trains alongside the likes of current UFC star and former NEF Professional Cruiserweight Champion Yorgan De Castro (6-0).

“I’m really excited to take the trip to Maine to make my professional debut,” said Hughes when reached for comment.  “My opponent is skilled, but I’m coming to put on a show, and he’s just a man in the way of my dreams to the UFC. Thank you to NEF for having me out.”

New England Fights’ volgende geleentheid vir gemengde vegkuns, “NEF 43: Rampage,” vind Saterdag plaas, April 18, 2020, by die Collins Centre for the Arts by UMaine Orono. Kaartjies is te koop nou opwww.CollinsCenterfortheArts.com.
