За незабавно освобождаване: Портланд, Maine (Ноември 3, 2017) - New England Битки (NEF) made its long-awaited debut in Portland, Maine в събота night before a sold-out crowd at Aura.

В основното събитие на вечерта, hometown favorite Paul Gorman (11-9) took on James Blair (5-2) in a 130-pound catchweight contest. The crowd was on the edge of its collective seat for a thrilling three-round war that will be a definite “битка на годината” candidate for 2017. Gorman pulled off the unanimous decision on the judges’ скоркарти.

The ever-popular John “Първа класа” Лъч (3-8) returned to the NEF cage after a three-year retirement. Raio faced a game Zenon Herrera (0-6) and came out with the win in the third round when Herrera tapped out to a guillotine choke.

От любителски страна на картата, three new champions were crowned. Terrance Jean-Jacques (3-0) became the new NEF Amateur Heavyweight Champion with a unanimous decision victory over defending champion Nick Gulliver (4-1). Джъстин Witham (4-4) is the new flyweight titleholder after defeating Nate Boucher (2-1) от съдийско решение. Hilarie Rose (5-3) made history as the first women’s champion in promotion history by capturing the strawweight title against Alex Walker (4-2).

Two milestones were set early in the night as Jayda Bailey (1-0) became the youngest fighter to ever emerge victorious in the NEF cage, while Garry Carr (1-0) took the honor of the oldest fighter to ever win in the NEF cage. Bailey turned 18 just eight days prior to the event. Carr is 56 years young.

In addition to an evening of fights, fans were able to meet special guest Ronaldo “Jacare” Souza (24-5). Souza is currently the number-four ranked middleweight in the UFC.
