POU PIBLIKASYON IMEDYAT: Lewiston, Maine (Mas 14, 2017) – New England Goumen (Nef) presents its next mixed-martial-arts event “Nef 28: INVINCIBLE” nan Samdi, Avril 29, 2017 nan Androscoggin Bank Colisee la nan Lewiston, Maine. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the card. Ricky Dexter (1-0) ap fè fas a Keenan Raymond (3-3) Yon pwa batay nan 160-liv.
After a successful amateur career that saw him claim the NEF MMA Amateur Welterweight Title, Ricky Dexter made his pro debut last month at “NEF 27.” He was able to drop Matt Denning in the first round with a vicious body shot that had thousands in the Colisee cringing. The Bangor, Maine native will make his first appearance as a member of Young’s MMA at “NEF 28,” having previously fought under the banner of Team Irish.
“Keenan Raymond is coming to my home turf, and I’m going to show him how tough we are up North,” Di Dexter. “I’m new to the pro ranks, but I’ve got the work ethic of a seasoned vet. I’ve got the strength of a middle weight and the cardio like the Diaz brothers and I’m always looking for the finish. Hungry for April 29th!”
Representing Southern New England will be Providence, Rhode Island’s Keenan Raymond. A longtime competitor on the New England MMA scene, Raymond will look to work off some cage rust as he has not fought since January 2016. He is by no means a one-dimensional fighter. Raymond has displayed a solid foundation in both striking and mat work throughout his career with finishes coming by way of knockout as well as submission. He currently trains at Ricardo Cavalcanti Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Mayo Quanchi Judo and Wrestling.
“I’m sure Ricky’s a game opponent, but I can promise he’s never faced a force like me,” said Raymond. “I’m healthy and my versatility will finish this fight one way or another.”
