PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Setembro 21, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 45: Uprising,” on Friday, Novembro 5, 2021, na Aura em Portland, Maine. Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the fight card. Reigning NEF Amateur Featherweight ChampionNathaniel Grimard(4-0) will defend his belt againstBilly Wilson (6-1).
Since his debut in September 2019, undefeated Nathaniel Grimard has emerged as one of the top amateur prospects on the New England MMA circuit. Grimard submitted Justin Kangas (0-3) in the first round at “NEF 40” in Orono, Maine. During the Covid-19 pandemic, and the resulting shutdown of combat sports events in the northeast region, Grimard kept himself active by taking fights in Florida where he was victorious twice. Last month at “NEF 44” he won the NEF Amateur Featherweight Title with an impressive second-round technical knockout of Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2). Grimard representa o Nostos MMA da Somersworth, New Hampshire, onde treina sob o comando do veterano do UFC e do Bellator, e ex-campeão profissional leve NEF, Devin Powell (10-5).
“I’m very excited to fight in Portland against my toughest opponent yet,”Disse Grimard. “Billy comes from a very credible gym with a little more experience than me, but that’s what motivates and excites me about this fight. I believe this will be a great fight, and I’m expecting to put on my best performance to date.”
Billy “The Kid” Wilson comes to Maine as the challenger on November 5th. Of his six victories, Wilson holds four finishes with three technical knockouts and one submission. He has actively competed in the sport since summer 2017. Wilson currently represents Jackson Wink based in Albuquerque, New Mexico – a world-renowned MMA training academy whose roster reads like a “who’s who” of UFC champions and legends like Jon Jones (26-1) and Holly Holm (33-2-3) só para citar alguns.
“I’m very blessed to have the opportunity to go out and travel to a whole new area to compete,” said Wilson when reached for comment. “I had just switched my camps to Jackson Wink, and I think the fans will see a whole new fighter.”
"NEF 45: Uprising” takes place on Friday, Novembro 5, 2021, na Aura em Portland, Maine. Doors open at 6 pm com primeira luta às 7 PM. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.Ticketmaster.com.
