NEF FINISHES 2018 SEASON WITH SOLD-OUT EVENT IN PORTLAND
לשחרורו מיידי: פורטלנד, מיין (נובמבר 18, 2018) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) held its most recent mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 36: קרב על הזהב,” on Saturday night at Aura in Portland, מיין. The event officially sold-out days prior to doors opening. It was the fifth and final NEF event of the 2018 עונה, and what many in attendance insisted was the standout show of the year.
באירוע המרכזי, ריאן סנדרס (18-9) put the NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Title on the line against יעקב בוהן (7-6). Sanders retained the championship after the cageside doctor stopped the fight due to a cut on Bohn’s head in the second round.
History was made when Ras Hylton (3-2) ו Yorgan De Castro (3-0) faced off to crown the first-ever NEF MMA Professional Cruiserweight Champion in the co-main event. De Castro captured the strap in dramatic fashion with a violent first-round knockout of Hylton.
Matt Probin (3-0) made his long-awaited NEF debut against Lionel Young (7-16). Probin remained undefeated in his professional career when he forced a referee stoppage to strikes early in the second round.
In the opening fight of the evening, טיילור תומפסון (3-0) ו קייטי דנינג (1-1) waged an absolute war that had the entire crowd on its feet to kick off the amateur card. Thompson won a unanimous decision on the judges’ כרטיסי ניקוד.
Later on in the amateur card, Megan Rosado (0-1) ו תהילה ווטסון (2-0) battled back and forth in another crowd-pleasing thriller that went the distance. Watson was victorious via split decision in a very close fight.
In the third and final women’s fight of the evening, צ'לסי טאקר (1-3) picked up the first win of her amateur career with a late-fight technical knockout of ב.ג 'גרסו (1-1).
זאק ריצ'רד (3-0) remained undefeated with a first-round submission of Chris Lachcik (0-2). It was a fight that Richard had dedicated to the memory of his older sister Lacey who passed away from cancer six years ago this weekend at the age of 23.
כְּמוֹ כֵן, in a post fight interview, an emotional הנרי קלארק (5-4) dedicated his victory over Killian Murphy (1-2) to a friend of his named Justin who recently passed away.
NEF further announced that its next event, “NEF 37: SUB ZERO,” would originate from the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine on Friday, פבואר 1, 2019.
