Earlier this month, Powell grappled Chelsea Tucker to a draw to openNEF 33in Portland.

 

 

 

 

“Words can’t describe how excited and thankful I am to be partaking in the third NEF event in Portland after competing in the first and second,” said Powell when reached for comment. “Both times I’ve been in the cage have been very entertaining—the first of which ended in me getting my contacts knocked out and looking like Sloth after—and this time will be no different, I just plan on getting the job done quicker. I am looking forward to getting back in there and testing myself again and getting to witness how much better I have gotten at the sport. Sarah and I both made our debuts at ‘NEF 31’ אין נאוועמבער, and I can’t wait to overcome the new challenges she has for me and to get my first win in the cage.”

 

 

 

 

Like Powell, Sarah Matulis did indeed make her cage debut atNEF 31last November in Portland. That evening she was victorious over Chelsea Tucker with a first-round technical knockout. By day, Matulis is a mother and nurse practitioner who studied nursing at Pace University in New York.

NEF fans are accustomed to seeing spectacular WMMA bouts, and I fully expect this fight will keep to that standard.

UFC STAR’S WIFE IN DOUBLE MMA DEBUT ON NOVEMBER 3RD IN PORTLAND

פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג: Portland, מיין (סעפּטעמבער 12, 2017) -נעוו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף) will make its long-awaited debut in Portland on פרייַטיק, נאָוועמבער 3, 2017 at Aura with “נעף 31: The Old Port.Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Carol Linn Powell (0-0) is scheduled to take on Francesca Morabito (0-0) in a women’s bantamweight contest.

Carol Linn is the wife of former NEF Lightweight Champion, and current UFC fighter, Devin פּאַואַל (8-3). Devin earned a contract with the UFC after impressing the company’s president, דאַנאַ ווייסע, on his web series דאַנאַ ווייסע: Lookinfor a Fight at an event promoted by NEF in Bangor, Maine last year. צוזאַמען, the Powells own and operate Nostos MMA & Conditioning Facility in Somersworth, New Hampshire. לעצטע חודש, they were awarded theBest Martial Arts Gym” בייַ די “2017 Best of the Seacoast” אַוואַרדס.

Fighting has been something I’ve fantasized about for a few years and now that it is finally happening, I couldn’t be more excited,” said Carol Linn when reached for comment. “I was supposed to have my first fight in June and it ended up falling through, and I think this fight is a much better match up and is in one of my very favorite towns. Francesca and I have trained together a few times and we were really excited to be a part of each other’s camps, but after realizing what a good matchup we are, we decided to put our friendship aside and both get in there for our first fights. We are very similar, and I’m excited to put a great show on for everyone.

I am very excited for my wife to make her debut,” noted Devin. “She’s been around the sport for almost half a decade, but is just recently getting into hard training and the competitive aspect of it. I never told her to fight or said I thought she should. She was very independent in this choice and when somebody chooses to do something on their own and they commit all of themselves to it, I think that is a great equation for a successful person in anything they do. She is going to find out a lot about herself on the 3rd. Happy to have a cage-side seat for it.

Francesca Morabito trains at the Choi Institute in Portland, מיין. Her true passion lies in her work with non-profit organization Speak About It. Morabito has toured the world as a theatre artist with the Portland-based group, educating high school and college students on affirmative consent, healthy relationships, and sexual assault prevention.

It is such an honor to make my debut just a couple blocks from where I’ve been training for the past two years,” said Morabito. “I’m elated to fight in my hometownon the same street where I’ve trudged home on countless Maine winter nights, with my gym bag slung over my shoulder and my wet hair freezing solid underneath my Choi hoodie. My time has come. And I came to win.

נעף ס ווייַטער געמישט-מאַרשאַל-קונסט געשעעניש, “נעף 31: The Old Port,” will see the company debut in Portland, Maine at the brand new, state-of-the-art venue Aura. The event is scheduled to take place on פרייַטיק, נאָוועמבער 3, 2017. טיקקעץ זענען אויף פאַרקויף איצט בייַ www.auramaine.com.
