Lewiston, Maine (Fevriye 25, 2015) - New England Goumen (Nef), Nimewo-yon sèl batay pwomosyon rejyonal Amerik la, retounen nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine sou Avril 11, 2015 ak disetyèm melanje-masyal arts-li yo (Mma) evènman. Earlier today, the company announced the addition of a professional female strawweight bout to the fight card. Kaline “Angel nan fè nwa” Medeiros (3-4) te siyen nan figi Calie “Siwo myèl Badger a” Cutler (3-0) at a fight weight of 115-pounds. It will be the first professional women’s fight in Maine since the state legislature legalized the sport of MMA in 2009.
“Li nan reyèlman tris ke li te pran sa a depi lontan,” 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 Avril 11 ak, yon lòt fwa ankò, 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.”
This will not be the first time Kaline Medeiros has made history in the cage. Nan 2013, Medeiros goumen nan, ak te genyen, the first-ever women’s MMA bout to be contested in Rhode Island. Fighting out of Fall River, Massachusetts, Medeiros is a native of Brazil and has been training in MMA since 2008. Having faced top female competitors since arriving in the professional ranks, tankou Invicta FC veteran Peggy Morgan (3-2) ak Stephanie Eggink (4-2), ki moun ki li frape soti nan jis sèt-segonn, Medeiros sètènman gen eksperyans la ak jeneyaloji pou li ale nan nivo siperyè-a nan espò a.
“Li se yon plezi envite tout fanatik mwen pou batay kap vini mwen souAvril 11,” said Medeiros. “NEF is bringing me to be the first ever professional female fighter stepping in the cage, li nan yon onè pou m '. Mèsi nef pou rekonesans an, epi mwen pa ka tann yo pote yon batay enteresan pou fanatik yo.”
Michigan’s Calie Cutler has raised a lot of eyebrows since making her MMA debut in 2012. Cutler amassed an impressive 7-1 record as an amateur prior to turning pro. She has finished all three of her opponents as a professional, ki gen ladan yon soumisyon viktwa dezyèm-wonn sou Nikki Duncan (0-1) last weekend on a fight card in Michigan. Cutler will look to continue her undefeated streak as a professional on her path towards the big leagues of the sport when she meets Kaline Medeiros on Avril 11 nan Lewiston.
