In a highly-anticipated rematch, NEF MMA Professional Lightweight Champion Bruce “Pulchellus Boy” Boyington (10-8) takes on rivalJohn “Prima classis” Ray (2-7) in a non-title catchweight contest. Raio scored a victory over Boyington by rear-naked choke in their initial meeting in February 2014. That win, tamen, was marred in controversy as Boyington contends the referee mistook his wave to his fans in the crowd as a sign of submission. Cujuscumque, Boyington and Raio will look to settle the score on June 13 in Lewiston.

 

NEF homegrown talent, atque 2014 “Pugnatore Anni,” Crowsneck Boutin (0-0) will debut in the professional ranks against “The Junkyard Dog” Ryan Cowette (2-2) in bout a middleweight.

Cowette is the head coach of MMA Athletix and the preacher of Victory Church in Bath, Maine.

“XVIII NEF” will mark the first time NEF has crowned a set of amateur champions. The amateur card will feature five championship title bouts. Among those bouts will be a heavyweight title fight between the popular Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (2-1) atqueRyan Glover (1-0).

LIGHTWEIGHT BATTLE ADDED TO PRO PORTION OF NEF XVIII FIGHT CARD

Leave a comment

Lewiston, Maine (May 8, 2015) - Pugnat New England (NEF), Americae scriptor numerus-unus Regionis promotionem certamen, mixta-militaris-artes tenebit its eighteenth (MMA) event, “XVIII NEF: Made in America,” on Saturday, June 13, 2015 Androscoggin Bank in ad Colisee Lewiston, Maine. Superius hodie, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. Jesse “Vikinga” Erickson (4-4) venturus est obviam Zenon Herrera (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.

 

Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.

 

Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) affiliate – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). Ultimum mensis, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.

 

“After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “Curam mei finis pugnae, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.”

 

Zenon Herrera, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, Maine, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “XVII NEF” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.

 

“I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” dicta Herrera. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.”
