Портленд, Мэн (Апреля 15, 2018) - New England Бои (NEF) made its return to Portland on Saturday night with the fight promotion’s latest mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 33: Riptide.” For the second time in as many events at the venue, NEF packed Aura with a sold-out crowd.
On the amateur portion of the card, Пришел Арнольд (3-0) continued his winning ways with a highlight-reel, one-punch knockout of Дэвид Томпсон (1-3). Арнольд, a hot prospect out of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in nearby Lewiston, Мэн, dropped Thompson with a right hand in the first round to remain undefeated.
Walt Shea (3-1) и Nate Boucher (2-3) met in the amateur headliner at a catchweight of 130-pounds. Both athletes were looking to bounce back from losses in their last respective NEF appearances, but it was Shea who took the victory late in the third round when referee Kevin MacDonald stopped the fight due to strikes. Ранее вечером, Shea’s First Class MMA teammate, Ben Murtiff (1-0) won his amateur debut, making for a perfect 2-0 night for the Topsham, Maine-based team.
On the professional side of the card, Эрнесто Орнелас (3-7) picked up the win over Карл Langston (0-1) единогласным решением судей. Через несколько мгновений, Ornelas’s teammate at the Choi Institute Калеб зал (1-0) was successful in his pro debut with a first-round submission of veteran Джон Ортолани (8-13).
The main event of the evening saw longtime Maine MMA veteran Билл Джонс (13-11) поражение Мэтт Деннинг (5-8) via technical knockout in the second round. Denning announced his retirement from cage competition immediately following the bout. Джонс’ win capped a successful night for Nostos MMA of Somersworth, Нью-Гемпшир. The team went 3-0 в ночь с Zac Richard (1-0) и Киллиан Мерфи (1-0) taking home wins on the amateur card.
NEF announced that its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Дом отважных” would take place back at Aura in Portland onИюнь 16, 2018. Already announced for that card, Ross Dannar (1-1) и Девин Corson (1-1) will square off in an amateur lightweight contest, в то время как Аарон Lacey (5-1) returns to the NEF cage to take on Демон Блэкшар (4-1) in a professional featherweight bout.
