“É realmente triste que é lento tanto,” said NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “We’re huge fans of women’s MMA in NEF. We’ve tried numerous times to put pro women’s fights together, but they’ve always fallen through. History will finally be made on Abril 11 e, unha vez máis, NEF is at the forefront. We hope the fans will come out and support this fight, support women’s MMA. This is a very proud moment for everyone involved. It is a step in the right direction for MMA in Maine.”

Having faced top female competitors since arriving in the professional ranks, como Invicta FC veteranos Peggy Morgan (3-2) e Stephanie Eggink (4-2), quen nocauteou en só sete segundos, Medeiros certamente ten a experiencia e pedigree para chegar ao seguinte nivel no deporte.
