With temperatures dropping to below zero, en die bedreiging van 'n storm dreig oor die gebied, meer as 2,500 fight fans braved the elements to pack the state’s most venerable fight venue. The crowd was treated to a total of 24 aksiebelaaide gevegte, insluitend vier professionele Bouts, waarvan twee was vir NEF MMA titel gordels.
Die belangrikste gebeurtenis van die aand gesien het Anthony “Cheesesteak” Morrison (17-9) ontsetel Ray “Alle Besigheid” Wood (5-1) to become the new NEF MMA Featherweight Champion. The loss spoiled what was expected to be a triumphant return home for Wood. The native of Bucksport, Maine het na Suid-Carolina verhuis in 2014 sy doel van die kompetisie in die Ultimate Fighting Championship na te streef (UFC). Morrison was considered Wood’s toughest challenge to date, nadat hy deelgeneem aan die nasionale stadium in Bellator en World Extreme Cage Fighting (WEC).

Morrison was dominant for most of the fight, uit-stoei Wood voor die indiening van hom met 'n guillotine verstik in die vyfde ronde van die band te vang.
The loss was also the sole blemish on what was otherwise a perfect night for Young’s MMA. Die Bangor, Maine-gebaseerde span het hul vorige agt aanvalle in die loop van die aand gewen, an amazing feat considering that the Young’s corners were often running back and forth from the cage to the locker room to prepare their fighters for bouts that were mere moments apart from each other. Of particular note, die opening stryd van die kaart te sien Josh Harvey (3-1) van Young se skeur deur top-tien-posisie amateur veergewigtitel Kaleb Hall (5-2) met 'n tegniese uitklophou (WIE) victory a mere 36-seconds into the first round. Later, Young se nuutste lid van die span, Carl Langston (4-7), het sy eerste oorwinning ooit op Maine grond met 'n besluit oor Sheldon Bang (1-2) in 'n herontmoeting van 'n bout Langston op verloor het “NEF XIII” verlede jaar.
Marcus Davis se span Ierse het 2-0 op die aand met Ricky Dexter(2-0) pluk aan die tweede oorwinning van sy loopbaan en amateur Rick Matthews (1-1) getting his first victory. 44-year old Matthews won a decision over Emmett Huber (0-1) terwyl Dexter behaal 'n groot uitklophou op Cory verhoor (0-1) in die tweede ronde, stuur verhoor na 'n nabygeleë hospitaal in die proses.
Hoogtepunt-reel uitklophoue was par vir die kursus by “NEF XVI.” Among them, UFC, Bellator en Strikeforce veteraan Nah-Shon “Die Rock-n-Rolla” Burrell (11-5) reeds bebloede Ryan Hodge(6-10) before knocking him out in the first round of their professional middleweight contest. The most-talked-about knockout of the evening, egter, na Kaleb Farrington (2-0) Span New England Verenigde (NUWE) wat val Brandon “Die Enigma” Russell (0-1) with a single right hand just 8-seconds into the first round. The knockout broke the all-time record of 11-seconds previously set by Buck “Kneukels” Pineau (7-4) in April 2012.
Meer geskiedenis gemaak by “NEF XVI” wanneer 'n pa en nie een, but two of his sons competed on the same MMA card. Following losses by his sons, Sheldon en Steve Bang (3-3), Dr. Steve Bang(1-0), 'n lid van Sentraal Maine Brasiliaanse Jiu Jitsu- (CMBJJ), entered the NEF MMA cage to a loud ovation from the crowd. The bariatric surgeon wasted little time in going to work on his opponent, Matthew Hanning (0-1), neem hom af en dreun 'n oorwinning via skeidsregter-oponthoud.
NFL en UFC Die uiteindelike Fighter veteraan Tyler King (8-2) in die mede-hoofren van die nag suksesvol verdedig die NEF MMA swaargewigtitel, verslaan Terry “Die Polar Bear” Blackburn (5-3). King stormed into the arena with a determined fire in his eyes. Mid-way through the first round, King het Blackburn af na die mat en gewerk om 'n Kimura voorlegging, forcing Blackburn to tap-out. During his post-fight victory interview in the cage, Koning het 'n keur van die swaargewigte en lig-swaargewigte insluitend plaaslike name soos Eric Bedard (6-5), sowel as nasionale sterre soos Bellator se Muhammed “King Mo” Lawal (14-4).
