The fight card will feature a mix of mixed-martial-arts (MMA) and professional boxing bouts. hoxe cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur heavyweight bout to the MMA portion of the “NEF 22” tarxeta da loita. Nick Gulliver (2-0) vai reunirse Dave Smith (2-1) at a fight weight of 265-pounds.

 

Nick Gulliver is a product of John Raio’s First Class MMA gym of Brunswick, Maine, as well as the Foundry – un Jiu-Jitsu brasileiro (BJJ) academy located in Farmington, Maine. He made his amateur debut last June at “NEF XVIII,” submitting Sonny Spratt (0-2) na primeira rolda. Gulliver followed up that victory with a technical knockout (QUEN) win over Jason Field (0-2) this past November a mere 12-seconds into the first round. He hopes another win on April 23rd will put him in line for a shot at the NEF MMA Amateur Heavyweight Title currently held by Billy Leahy (3-1).

 

“I’m looking forward to fighting again for NEF on April 23rd, and I’m thankful for the opportunity that Matt Peterson and Nick Disalvo give me to fight for their amazing organization,” said Gulliver. “I’ll be fighting who I think is now the number one heavyweight fighter fighting for NEF, Dave Smith. This kid is a great fighter and good athlete. I’m looking forward to a great fight. I fight for two amazing schools and organizations, the Foundry and First Class MMA. This fight will be the first time I won’t be fighting in front of my father who is sick. It’s a lot for him to go to these events being so sick and on oxygen all the time. But my father stated he would make it to one last fight if I get a title shot. I think fighting Dave Smith and winning would put me in a good spot to fight for a title. I’m looking to get that fight in front of my father who pushes me to be the man I am today. Así, for three rounds on April 23rd, I’ll be pushing harder than I have in the past to get that opportunity. I’m always looking to impress the crowd. I think fighting someone like Smith will keep the crowd on their feet.”

 

Dave Smith is a member of Berserkers MMA based out of Rumford, Maine. Smith has an extensive wrestling background, having gone 147-17 while competing for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS) and winning two state titles in the process. He also wrestled for Plymouth State University (PSU) in New Hampshire. Like Gulliver, Smith finished his first two opponents in the opening round. He is looking to bounce back from a loss to Brendan Battles (2-0) en “NEF 21” mes pasado.

 

“I’m glad to be on another NEF card,” exclaimed Smith. “I am also very excited to be fighting Nick Gully. Nick has had a couple impressive wins and I think this will be a good fight! So get ready because it’s going to be a hell of a show.”

The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-de artes marciais (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Sábado noite “NEF XIX,” Porra “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) está programa para defender o NEF MMA Afeccionado Heavyweight Title aquela noite contra o reto de Dave Smith (2-0).

 

Leahy gañou o título dos pesos pesados ​​afeccionado inaugural “NEF XVIII” en xuño pasado, cando derrotou Smith Berserkers MMA compañeiro de equipo Ryan Glover (2-1) por decisión unánime. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “NEF XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) en Auburn, Maine e MMA de novo en Bangor, Maine.

 

“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” preguntou un Leahy enfurecido. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”

 

Dave Smith fixo a súa estrea no MMA na primavera pasada en “NEF XVII” en Lewiston. That night, el derrotou Sonny Spratt (0-2) por primeira rolda KO técnico (QUEN). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” en xuño. Esta vez, foi Gravin Guillén (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy on Novembro 21 en Lewiston.

 

“Primeiro, Gustaríame agradecer a todos os implicados en facer esa loita ocorrer,” dixo Smith. “Estou seguro de que non foi fácil chegar Billy para cometer a novembro, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, incluíndo o Sr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Digo directamente Billy–prepare-se e levar o meu cinto.”
