Both Berry and Lewis are coming off wins in the boxing ring at “Nef XX” sa a Novanm sot pase.

Dubbed “The Battle for Bangor,” with both men living and training in the Bangor, Maine area, Boyington’s NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title will be on the line. Number-one contender Lemke will be looking to capture the first championship of his MMA career.
The co-main event of the evening on the professional MMA card will see local Lewiston-Auburn favorite Izayi “Viking a” Erickson (6-4) pran sou Devin Powell (4-1) in a lightweight matchup.

It will be a rematch of a contest won by Lamonte at “Nef XX.” Boyington’s supporters in the audience felt that the referee stopped the bout prematurely as Boyington was about to break out of, or had already broken out of, Lamonte’s armbar submission. After much back and forth among their respective supporters on social media, the rematch is expected to settle the issue once and for all.
