Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Enero 11, 2017) -bag-Ong England away (Kaha) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Pebrero 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the full card for the event. The night will feature both amateur and professional MMA bouts.

 

Headlining the evening will be the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new professional lightweight champion. The title was vacated when previous champion Devin Powell (8-1) signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Ryan Sanders (12-8) kuhaon sa John Ortolani (8-10) samtang Jon Lemke (5-7) mga nawong Jesse Erickson (9-5) in a rematch from Bellator 93. The winners of those two bouts will meet in the finals tentatively scheduled for “NEF 28” later this year.

 

In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Ras Hylton (0-0) mohimo sa iyang propesyonal nga debut batok sa Mike Hansen (5-4). Ang 6’6″ Hylton, o “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie sa Tuig” by NEF fans after going 3-0 ingon nga usa ka amateur. Hansen was a Maine state wrestling champion for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS), and he has developed quite a reputation for downing larger opponents on both the mats and the MMA cage. Hansen was the recipient of the “2016 Submission of the Year” award.

 

Speaking of 2016 award mananaog, ang “Fighter sa Tuig,” featherweight paglaom Aaron Lacey (4-0), will look for his fifth consecutive victory in less than a year when he meets Florida’s Chris Jacobs (1-0). Jacobs put together an impressive 8-3 rekord ingon sa usa ka amateur, winning regional titles along the way.

 

The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Ryan Glover (3-1) modepensa batok sa Victor Irwin (2-0). Glover has held the title since last February. Both Glover and Irwin were Maine state wrestling champions – Glover with MVHS and Irwin with Brewer High School.

 

Also scheduled on the amateur card are no less than three women’s bouts. Angela Young (1-2), who put on multiple “Fight sa Night” performances in 2016, returns to face New Hampshire’s Christine Brothwell (0-2). Young’s teammate, Katie Baker (0-0), will make her in-cage debut against another tough competitor from the Granite State in the form of Alex Walker (2-1), samtang Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).

2016 FIGHTER OF THE YEAR LOOKS TO CARRY MOMENTUM INTO NEW YEAR

Leave sa usa ka comment

Lewiston, Maine (Disyembre 21, 2016) -bag-Ong England away (Kaha) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Pebrero 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE.” Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight fight to the card. Aaron “Walay puas nga” Lacey (4-0) kuhaon sa Chris “Game Bred” Jacobs (1-0) sa usa ka away gibug-aton sa 145-libra.

 

Voted “Fighter sa Tuig” earlier this week by NEF fans, it would take a Herculean effort to argue that 2016 was not Aaron Lacey’s year. He made his professional debut in April at “NEF 22” defeating veteran Derek Shorey (4-8) and remained undefeated the rest of the year. Including his amateur career, Lacey is riding a seven-fight win streak. He has not lost a fight since the spring of 2014 (his only loss) – close to three years ago.

 

Labing bag-o lang, Lacey struck down seasoned pro Taylor Trahan (6-7) with a vicious liver kick that made the entire crowd at the Colisee cringe. A win over Jacobs on Pebrero 11 would move Lacey that much closer to signing a contract with a major, national MMA promotion – a fate long predicted by many insiders for the product of Bangor’s Young’s MMA gym.

 

“I’m looking forward to 2017,” said Lacey when reached for comment. “2016 was a big year for me and I am looking forward to carrying that momentum into the new year on February 11th. Chris Jacobs is a seasoned opponent who is making the trip up from Florida, so he will be prepared. I live in the gym and have been making huge gains, ug 2017 will be the year I get to showcase those gains!”

 

Jacobs is based out of DeLand, Florida. “NEF 27” will see him make his first trip to compete in Maine, but Jacobs is no stranger to the MMA cage. He put together an impressive record of 8-3 ingon nga usa ka amateur, including capturing a regional title on a fight card in nearby Daytona Beach. Jacobs won his pro debut earlier this year in Tampa. He is looking forward to facing tough competition in the form of Lacey.

 

“I must give thanks and praise to the most high for putting me in this position to fight in Maine,” Miingon Jacobs. “It’s a blessing. It’s an honor to fight someone of a high caliber and stature like Aaron Lacey. I look forward to coming up there and competing with a top level athlete.”

 

NEF’s next event, “Kaha 27: RESURGENCE” mahitabo sa Sabado, Pebrero 11, 2017 sa 7 sa gabii. Tiket magsugod sa $25 ug sa sale karon sa www.TheColisee.com o pinaagi sa pagtawag sa Colisee box office sa 207.783.2009, extension 525.
