Lewiston, Maine (Január 11, 2017) -nové Anglicko Boje (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Február 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” Dneska, 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) bude mať na John Ortolani (8-10) zatiaľ čo Jon Lemke (5-7) tváre 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, Julio Martinez (0-0) bude robiť jeho profesionála debutovať proti Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Hylton, alebo “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Rookie of the Year” by NEF fans after going 3-0 ako amatér. 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” cena.
Speaking of 2016 výhercovi, the “Fighter roka,” mušia vyhliadky 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 Záznam ako amatér, winning regional titles along the way.
