Lewiston, Maine (Mayo 4, 2015) - Luchas de Nueva Inglaterra (NEF), Número uno de la promoción de lucha regional de América, celebrará su décimo octavo mixtos de artes marciales (MMA) evento, “NEF XVIII: Hecho en America,” en Sábado, Junio 13, 2015 en el Androscoggin Banco Colisee en Lewiston, Maine. El día de hoy, the promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the fight card. It will be the fifth amateur title awarded on the Junio 13 tarjeta. La pelea contará con Johnny Artesanía (3-0) going one-on-one with Jeff Watts (5-2) en el límite de peso gallo de 135 libras.

Voted the “Novato del Año” para 2014 by NEF fans, Johnny Crafts has dominated in all three of his prior bouts. For those familiar with his background in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ), it comes as no surprise that the brown belt has submitted each of his opponents. En febrero pasado, Crafts handed the previously-undefeated Mike Crespo (2-2) his first loss in the NEF cage. He is currently a member of Team New England United (NUEVO) – the largest BJJ team in the northeast.

“I’m very excited to be fighting for the first ever NEF ammy bantamweight title,” said Crafts. “This is definitely my hardest fight to date and I am ready to show everyone my progression. Jeff seems like a very well-rounded, experienced fighter and this should be a battle for the NEF fans to enjoy.”

Jeff Watts is a product of western New York state where he developed a reputation at a young age as a tough street fighter. With a background in Karate and wrestling, Watts began training in MMA in 2009. A familiar face to New England MMA fans having competed twice in Plymouth, Massachusetts, Junio 13 will be his debut in the NEF cage. Watts is known internationally as writer “Karmaatemycat” on major MMA website Cagepotato.com. Currently residing in Wausau, Wisconsin, he trains out of Rising Son MMA.

“I’m incredibly excited to be fighting the caliber of Jiu Jitsu that John brings to the cage,” said Watts. “I’m even more excited to see how he handles being punched in the face. First ever Bantamweight title for NEF. What an honor! Victoria, perder, o dibujar–que va a ser una noche loca. I’m excited to show some skills I’ve never shown before. Let’s put a show on John. Bang with me.”
