ਮੁੱਖ ਘਟਨਾ ਵਿੱਚ, “The” Ryan Sanders(10-8) ਨੂੰ ਪੂਰਾ ਕਰੇਗਾ Jon Lemke (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sanders’ first fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered a “dream match” by Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanders’ camp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.
The co-main event of the evening will feature an interesting “coach vs. ਕੋਚ” ਲੜਾਈ. “ਟੁੱਟਣ 2.0” ਡੇਰੇਕ Shorey (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founderJosh ਪਾਰਕਰ (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest.

Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport.

She returned to the cage last spring at “NEF 22” in a losing effort against Angela Young (1-2). ਜੋ ਕਿ ਮੁਕਾਬਲੇ, a back and forth battle, has been one of the most memorable this year in NEF and could be in the running for “ਸਾਲ ਦੇ ਲੜਾਈ” honors as well. Sparrell is a member of First Class MMA based out of Brunswick, Maine.
“I’m super excited to be stepping into the NEF cage once again onNovember 19th,” said Sparrell. “For months, I have had friends, supporters and fans asking me when my next bout will be. I am happy to have a solid answer for them. Though I lost my fight to Angela during NEF 22, I left there with my head held high, a newly recognized confidence, and a hunger to get in the cage once again.

On the professional boxing side of the card, Northeast Junior Welterweight Champion, and the pride of West Forks, Maine, Brandon “ਕੈਨਨ” Berry(11-1, 7 ਕੋਸ) returns to the ring for a six-rounder with Detroit, Michigan’sJames Lester (10-9, 4 ਕੋਸ). Berry, one of the most popular boxers to ever come out of Maine, will look for his fourth consecutive victory since returning from a shoulder injury last year.
That will prove easier said than done with Lester standing in the opposite corner. Lester is a product of the world-famous Kronk Gym in Detroit where world champions like Thomas “Hitman” Hearns (61-5-1, 48 ਕੋਸ), ਆਸਕਰ De La Hoya (39-6, 30 ਕੋਸ), Lennox ਲੇਵਿਸ (41-2-1, 32 ਕੋਸ) and Wladimir Klitschko (64-4, 53 ਕੋਸ) have trained under the late Emmanuel Steward. Lester was ranked number-two nationally as an amateur. He presents a dangerous threat to Berry, one that could very well play the role of “spoiler” ਨੂੰ “ਕੈਨਨ” and his legion of fans.

“I try to focus on what is right in front of me,” said Erickson during a recent interview onThe MMA Report Podcast. “I never looked past my opponents but I like to think what the reward is going to be when I beat this guy.”
Neither athlete can afford to overlook the other, but a win for either could very well mean a call from one of the national promotions. Erickson has been there before with Bellator. Powell is an all-around talent with some slick finishes to his credit.
“This is the type of MMA fight we absolutely love,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “You have two guys who match up so well. They’ve both been racking up the wins. They’ve faced some of the same opponents. They’re both solid on the mat and on their feet. I expect this to be yet another crazy, wild NEF MMA main event!”
“Crazy” ਅਤੇ “wild” do not even begin to describe the grudge that has developed betweenJosh “Hook On” Harvey(0-0) ਅਤੇ ਮੱਤੀ “Ken ਗੁੱਡੀ” Denning (2-1). The bitter rivals will meet at a fight weight of 150-pounds at “NEF 22” in an MMA bout.

The well-publicized personal issues between Harvey and Denning will be settled in the cage onApril 23rd.
