Tinggalkan komentar

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Agustus 17, 2016) – For the second time in New England Fights (NEF) sejarah, a professional women’s mixed-martial-arts (MMA) bout will take to the fight promotion’s cage. Pada TanggalBulan September 10, 2016 when NEF returns to Lewiston with its next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS,” the professional portion of the MMA card will feature a women’s flyweight bout between Sarah “SwitchKick” Klik (0-1) dan Valerie “Valociraptor” Aspaas (0-0). Click and Aspaas will look to continue the recent tradition of women’s fights taking “Pertarungan of the Night” honors at NEF events. Judging from the extensive martial arts backgrounds of both competitors, the fight could very well do just that.

 

Sarah Click made her initial foray into the martial arts world at just eight-years-old when she began training in Taekwondo. Now a sergeant in the United States Army, Click began competing in MMA in 2014 after returning from a tour of Afghanistan. Over the course of her amateur career, Click captured several regional titles throughout New England and New York. She made her professional debut for national promotion Invicta last spring. Click is a member of Team Juniko of Hyannis, Massachusetts.

 

“I’m really excited for the opportunity to fight at one of New England’s best promotions,” said Click of NEF. “They are doing big things for fighters, and they are coming off one of their best shows to date. Valerie has fought some of the best 125 talent, going the distance with KGB and Kaitlyn Chookagain. I’m going to do what I do best and bring a war that you won’t want to miss!”

 

Like her opponent, Valerie Aspaas got her start in martial arts at a young age, training in Isshin-Ryu Karate. She currently holds a purple belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ). Di 2014, Aspaas won the Buffalo, New York version of the Golden Gloves. She made her NEF debut at “NEF IX” di Biddeford, Maine, defeating Maria Rios (2-3) melalui keputusan bulat. The fight was a brutal bloodbath that had the capacity crowd on the edge of its collective seat for the duration. Aspaas will enter the professional ranks at “NEF 25.”

 

“My professional debut has been a long time coming, and I am honored to have the opportunity to do it under NEF,” said Aspaas when reached for comment. “I fought for them a few years back, and I believe that the promotion and the people of Maine remember the bloody, exciting battle I fought against Maria Rios. They should expect to see more of the same ferocity and grit from a more evolved version of the Valociraptor when I step back into the cage on September 10th.”

Bellator 93 REMATCH TO FEATURE PROMINENTLY ON NEF 25 FIGHT CARD

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Agustus 11, 2016) - Perkelahian New England (NEF) kembali ke Lewiston pada Bulan September 10, 2016 with the fight promotion’s next event, “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS.” NEF executives announced earlier today that Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (7-5) dan Jon Lemke (5-6) will square off for the second time in their respective careers. Lemke won the first meeting at NEF’s co-promotion with Bellator, “Bellator 93,” in the spring of 2013. The bout will take place in the 155-pound lightweight division.

 

Originally scheduled to take place earlier this month at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight” in Bangor, Erickson-Lemke II was postponed when Erickson suffered an injury in training. Devin Powell (8-1) stepped in to replace Erickson in the bout. While he was stopped late in the first round, Lemke put on a valiant performance, shattering Powell’s nose in the process. Lemke hopes to get back on the winning track at “NEF 25.”

 

“My last couple of performances have been a bit disappointing for me as a fighter, so I wanted to fight again as soon as possible and figure this out,” kata Lemke. “I am incredibly grateful for another opportunity to fight for NEF. I am learning how to separate who I am as a person and man versus who I am as a fighter when I step in to that cage. This will enable me to stop holding back and really leave it all in the cage. Jesse is a fighter through and through and this will be a great battle for sure.”

 

Erickson, Selain itu, is coming off a brutal knockout victory over Amos Collins (4-5) Juni lalu. It was just the latest in a string of improved striking performances from Erickson in the past couple of years. He says that he will welcome the opportunity to stand and exchange with Lemke should the opportunity present itself.

 

“I can’t wait to step into the NEF cage against Jon,” kata Erickson. “Saya memiliki banyak rasa hormat untuk dia. He is a talented well rounded fighter and always puts on a show. He beat me in my pro debut, but that was years ago and I’m very excited to show everyone how far I’ve come. I’m not the same fighter I was then and now that I’ve recovered from injury, I look forward to competing against him. Most people expect me to look for the takedown to utilize my jiu jitsu, but I love to strike and want to show him and everyone else that I’ve got Thor’s hammer in these hands. If he thinks the outcome will be the same and he will walk through me, it’ll be a rough night for him. Victory or Valhalla.”

Lewiston, Maine (Bulan Agustus 9, 2016) – In a rare occurrence, two champions from two different weight divisions will square off onBulan September 10, 2016 when New England Fights presents “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLAINS” di Lewiston. Reigning NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Champion Johnny Kerajinan (4-0) will come up in weight to challenge Caleb Balai (7-3) for Hall’s NEF MMA Amateur Featherweight Title.

 

Caleb Hall was a two-time Maine state champion wrestling for Dirigo High School in Dixfield. He would go on to wrestle for Plymouth State University in New Hampshire, as well as the University of Southern Maine. Di “NEF 22” this past spring, Hall captured the vacant featherweight title by submitting Erik Nelson (2-3) di babak kedua. In the upcoming bout with Crafts, Hall will be looking to not only retain his title, but to also gain a measure of revenge against Crafts who defeated Hall’s teammate Henry Clark (3-2) musim gugur yang lalu.

 

“Johnny’s making a big mistake coming up in weight trying to take my belt,” said Hall. “I will avenge my teammate, Henry Clark, and put him away early.”

 

Johnny Crafts is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu brown belt with Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ). As mentioned, Crafts defeated Henry Clark of the Choi Institute last fall to claim the amateur bantamweight title. Pada Tanggal Bulan September 10, Crafts hopes to make history by becoming the first competitor to simultaneously hold two championships in two different weight divisions.

 

“I’m honestly just excited to get in there and have a brutal, fun fight,” kata Kerajinan. “It’s going to be a guaranteed war versus Caleb. It’s less focus on cutting weight at 145 for me and more on the training camp. I’m going to be the most technical and strong I have ever been for this fight.”

LAWTON GETS NEW OPPONENT ON BANGOR FIGHT CARD

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 30, 2016) - Jarod “Menit Terakhir” Lawton (4-2) has a new opponent this Friday night in Bangor at “NEF Presents Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight.” Lawton’s original opponent, Mike Hansen (4-4), pulled out of the middleweight contest with an injury just days before the start of fight week. NEF officials scoured the country for someone to step up on a mere week’s notice and face the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt Lawton. Not an easy task, to say the least. NEF matchmaker Matt Peterson was able to secure a replacement opponent in the form of David “leher merah” Mundell (5-1) of Dunedin, Florida.

Mundell is a purple belt fighting out of Gracie Clearwater. His only loss as a professional came in his last fight this past spring. Faktanya, Mundell had not lost a single round in any of his previous five professional fights to that point. He is the reigning Florida State Professional MMA Welterweight Champion. Mundell held several titles in the amateur ranks before turning pro.

While most competitors would shy away from the prospect of facing a black belt on a week’s notice in front of UFC President Dana White, Mundell approaches the fight with a workmanlike outlook.

“It’s just another day at the office,” said Mundell when reached for comment.

“I am excited to still be a part of the show and thankful Dave Mundell was willing to step up on short notice to take the fight,” Kata Lawton. “He is a well-rounded fighter, and I am expecting to put on one of the best fights of the night as always!”

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS FOR TOP MAINE LIGHTWEIGHTS

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 29, 2016) – Devin Powell was enjoying an evening off from his demanding life as a mixed martial arts instructor and fighter.

He was surrounded by food that probably isn’t on his normal training menu. There were celebratory beverages to fit the loud music and party atmosphere at Xfinity Center, the outdoor concert venue in Mansfield, Massachusetts.

Somehow, Powell heard his phone ring, or felt it vibrate in his pocket. The impending conversation altered his day-after plans considerably.

Powell accepted a return engagement with Jon Lemke at “NEF Presents Dana White: Looking for a Fight,” to be held Hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 at Cross Insurance Center in Bangor.

“I found out my good friend Jesse Erickson got hurt,” Powell said, “and they asked me to fill in. I said ‘of course.’ Anybody representing UFC, never mind Dana White, if you ever have a chance to fight in front of them, it’s something you want to do if you’re able. It should be a nice, intimate setting.”

Powell (7-1) is the NEF lightweight champion, having secured the strap with a technical knockout of Erickson at “NEF 22: All Roads Lead Here” in April. Lemke (5-5) lost to previous champion Bruce Boyington in a bid for that belt.

The fight will take place five pounds above the lightweight limit at a catch weight of 160.

“It’s a huge opportunity,” said Lemke, who lives in neighboring Brewer. “I’m very grateful. I’m looking forward to fighting in front of probably the most influential person in MMA.”

Their bout is one of eight professional skirmishes to be showcased in front of White, a native of nearby Hermon, and cohorts Din Thomas and Matt Serra. The trio travels the country in pursuit of undiscovered MMA talent in a reality show that is broadcast on White’s YouTube page as well as the UFC Fight Pass subscription-based streamed video service.

Neither man is known to shy away from the spotlight. Lemke stopped Erickson at Bellator 93 in Lewiston two years ago. Powell pushed his winning streak to five with a split-decision triumph Bulan Juni 17 over Tommy Marcellino on the World Series of Fighting stage at Foxwoods.

“I know they’re probably here to watch the guys in the main event,” Powell said of White and his entourage, “but I plan to put on a show that they won’t be able to sleep on. With my fighting style, very aggressive and unorthodox, I believe I definitely will get their attention. This sport is a lot about getting the right opportunity and taking advantage of it.”

When asked if he perceived any edge because Powell took the fight on three weeks’ notice, Lemke politely pointed out that he only began preparing for Erickson two weeks prior to that.

Lemke lost to Josh LaBerge pada tanggal Bulan Juni 10.

“I only had a couple extra weeks to prepare. I was still training, but that’s all. I was in pretty good shape but not in fight shape,” Lemke said. “It’s one of those things where they ask you and you’re like, ‘Oh, satu, I really want to do this, but.’ It’s just too big an opportunity not to. It’s not necessarily ideal, but as a fighter, absolutely you’re looking for that challenge, and Devin is one of the best guys in the game around here.”

He learned that first-hand, and in resounding fashion, when the two fighters previously clashed on May 10, 2014. Powell prevailed via choke-out in only 23 detik.

That setting was Lemke’s comeback fight after his abrupt withdrawal from a title match against John Ortolani eight months earlier.

“It didn’t go very well last time. There were a lot of distractions and different circumstances for me leading up to that fight. I had to pull out of a title fight before that, which you never want to do. Three-quarters of the battle for me was just getting back in the cage,” Lemke said.

“I’m a completely different fighter now," dia menambahkan. “I think I’ve progressed everywhere, not just with my skills but with the approach I take. I’ve had quite a few fights and I’ve learned from both the wins and the losses. You always learn. Sometimes you learn the hard way.”

Lemke and Powell each enter the cage for the fourth time in less than a year. That activity is the reason neither man feels uneasy about accepting such a stern challenge after an abbreviated training camp.

In Powell’s case, fighting is simply a natural extension of his everyday life as owner and head instructor at Nostos MMA in Somersworth, N.H.

“I’m grateful for everything I have. I have a 4-year-old daughter and she likes to come to the academy and train jiu-jitsu,” Powell said. “I have a pretty amazing life. I only have to teach, train and fight. A lot of people don’t get more than a couple hours with their kids every night. We sacrifice a lot for this sport. People only see the 15 minutes of hell. They don’t see everything else.”

Powell is pleased to represent NEF for only the third time in his blossoming career.

“NEF is one of the biggest promotions in the country. They make superstars out of guys from Maine,” Powell said. “I fought for World Series of Fighting, and I don’t want to sound like I’m knocking them, but it was a much smaller show. NEF has a huge following, and now you see them going places like Cape Cod and Bangor, and that can only grow it even more. They do it right, and I’m glad to be able to step in there for them.”

Lemke faces the added pressure of fighting in front of not only White but his hometown fans from the Bangor area.

Many of them are not accustomed to the four-hour round trip for his encounters in Lewiston.

“A fight is still just a fight, and the next fight is the biggest fight regardless. You never know who could be there watching or what could happen as a result,” Lemke said, suggesting that he is more concerned with his opponent. “Devin is a phenomenal fighter. He has a great skill set. He’s highly touted and he has a great record to back it up. It’s definitely the challenge of a lifetime for me. He’s also a great guy outside the cage. I get along with him well. I think we respect each other.”

Powell confirmed those suspicions, although he reiterated that his objective is nothing less than another decisive victory.

“He’s a good guy. I don’t have to go to that deep, dark place. I understand that my job is to hurt someone so badly that the referee has to step in to save his life. It’s a beautiful, violent sport. I respect anyone who has the courage to get in there with the same goals as me,” Powell said. “I’m expecting a brouhaha with Lemke. Dia agresif. He comes to fight. I like to do the same things. The first fight was short-lived. If I’m able to repeat that, I’m sure Dana White will be happy.”

MMA MUDA MEMILIKI KEUNGGULAN BIDANG RUMAH PADA AGUSTUS 5 DI BANGOR

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 28, 2016) – Delegasi berdedikasi dari Young’s MMA of Bangor biasanya menikmati reputasi mereka sebagai pejuang jalanan di New England Fights.

Lewiston telah lama ditetapkan sebagai kota pusat organisasi, menarik para pesaing dan penonton dari kedua arah di Maine Turnpike. Pejuang dan penggemar dari lembah Penobscot River menemukan bahwa tetap bertunangan untuk kartu pertarungan itu empat atau lima kali setahun membutuhkan komitmen yang lebih besar daripada kebanyakan orang..

Untuk kedua kalinya dalam sejarahnya, promosi regional akan membawa kandangnya ke Queen City. “Hadiah NEF: Dana White Lookin ’for a Fight” dijadwalkan untuk hari Jumat, Bulan Agustus 5 di Cross Insurance Center.

Muda, gym terletak hanya beberapa blok jauhnya 127 Hammond Street, akan merayakannya dengan menampilkan salah satu pejuangnya dalam empat dari delapan pertandingan profesional yang dijadwalkan. Ryan Sanders yang teruji pertempuran dan pendatang baru Aaron Lacey, Josh Harvey dan CJ Ewer semuanya siap untuk mengambil bidikan terbaik mereka dengan dukungan yang parau, kerumunan partisan.

“Itu bagian yang paling menarik bagi saya, berasal dari Brewer. Saya bersekolah di Brewer High School,Lacey berkata. “Itu pasti sangat besar, hasil imbang yang sangat besar bagi saya, melihatnya secara langsung. Saya pergi ke perkelahian ketika NEF datang ke Darling’s Waterfront Pavilion (Bulan Juli 12, 2013) dan yang bisa kupikirkan hanyalah, 'Pria, Saya ingin melakukan ini. 'Ini telah menjadi tujuan saya sejak lama. ”

Sanders (10-7) akan melawan Derrick Kennington (11-7) dalam bentrokan kelas ringan yang akan menjadi atraksi unggulan di map.

Ketiga stablemate-nya masing-masing muncul sebagai pemenang dalam satu-satunya pertarungan pro sebelumnya. Lacey akan mengunci diri dengan John Santos (3-3) dari Derry, N.H., dalam pertarungan kelas bulu. Harvey ada janji di kelas bulu. Guci, yang memenangkan pertarungan amatir di tempat konser luar ruangan di Bangor, akan diuji oleh Ruben Redman (0-1) dalam memo kelas welter.

Bahkan dengan banyak teman yang hadir, keempat orang itu tahu itu adalah kehadiran presiden UFC White, yang tumbuh di dekat Hermon, yang dapat memiliki konsekuensi yang mengubah karier.

“Ini kesempatan yang bagus. Sungguh luar biasa mengetahui bahwa seseorang seperti itu akan berada di gedung pada malam pertarungan,Kata Sanders. “Tapi bagi saya itu hanya pertarungan lain. Saya tidak ingin terjebak dalam semua itu. Biarkan saja itu terungkap. ”

White dan rekannya Din Thomas dan Matt Serra melakukan perjalanan keliling negeri untuk mengejar bakat MMA yang belum ditemukan dalam reality show yang disiarkan di halaman YouTube White serta layanan video streaming berbasis langganan UFC Fight Pass.

Iya Nih, koneksi pengusaha Maine didokumentasikan dengan baik. White juga sebelumnya membawakan UFC Fight Night 47 ke Bangor. Young’s talent pool suspects that the latest event is more than just a case of White throwing a bone to his home base, akan tetapi.

“I’m grateful that he’s bringing it here. I’m sure he’s watched film from NEF in his spare time. He must see something in NEF that he likes in order to be doing this,” Harvey said. “It doesn’t make me more nervous. Saya senang untuk itu. I’m going to try to put that all aside and focus on the task at hand.”

Under the tutelage of co-owners Chris Young and Ernie Fitch, roughly five or six professionals and a dozen amateurs cycle through the gym in any given training camp.

“Four of us fighting, it just shows we’re the best gym in the area. Three of us are undefeated. We’re producing studs. Orang-orang melihatnya dan ingin berlatih dengan orang-orang terbaik yang mereka bisa,Kata Sanders. “Kami pasti saling mendorong. Anda memiliki orang-orang yang menendang pantat Anda setiap hari. Kami menginginkan yang terbaik untuk satu sama lain. Itu sebabnya kami ada di sini. "

Harvey mengharapkan jumlah dan komitmen untuk tumbuh setelah kunjungan White. Dia telah berlatih di Young selama tiga tahun. Kursi samping kandang di tepi pantai menginspirasinya untuk meningkatkan gaya latihannya sendiri. Itu adalah keunggulan yang tertanam, Harvey mencatat, yang hampir secara eksklusif dimiliki oleh Lewiston sampai sekarang.

“Itulah yang membuat kebanyakan orang memulai. Mereka pergi dan melihat perkelahian dan mereka ingin mencobanya,” Harvey said. “Itulah mengapa Anda melihat tempat-tempat seperti Central Maine BJJ (Lewiston) dan MMA Kelas Satu (Topsham) tumbuh begitu banyak. Pertarungan ada di halaman belakang mereka. "

Lacey mencirikan Young sebagai "gym yang penuh dengan pembunuh."

Statistik menggarisbawahi poin Lacey. Tiga pemain profesional dengan rekor tak bercacat semuanya memenangkan debut mereka dalam dua menit atau kurang.

“Ryan hanya mengambil keputusan yang saya pikir sekali dalam karirnya. Dia seorang finisher. Josh memenangkan pertarungannya dengan kuncian di babak pertama. CJ sangat kuat,Lacey berkata. “Mereka menantang saya untuk menjadi yang terbaik setiap hari. Mereka membuat saya tetap fokus tidak hanya di gym tetapi juga dalam permainan kehidupan di luar kandang. ”

Meskipun dia menghadapi lawan dengan pengalaman yang jauh lebih besar, Lacey mengharapkan adrenalin yang membantu karena memiliki begitu banyak wajah yang dikenal di belakangnya.

“Ini berbeda. Saya bertarung, saya pikir tujuh kali di Lewiston antara pertarungan amatir dan debut profesional saya,"Dia berkata. “Ini memberi saya kesempatan untuk berada di zona nyaman saya. Dan banyak penggemar saya yang tidak bisa hadir. Pada saat Anda memikirkan perjalanan, harga tiketnya, mungkin menginap, mereka tidak bisa melakukannya. "

Harvey setuju, menunjukkan bahwa ini adalah pertarungan awal yang tidak perlu dia bawa ke dalam koper.

“Ini akan menjadi pertama kalinya aku tidur di tempat tidurku sendiri pada malam sebelum bertengkar. Saya pikir itu keuntungan besar,” Harvey said. “Beberapa orang mungkin berpikir dengan lebih banyak penggemar Anda di sana bahwa ada lebih banyak tekanan, tapi saya pikir itu hanya membangun Anda. "

NEF ANNOUNCES WINNERS OF WRESTLING ESSAY CONTEST

Tinggalkan komentar

Rumford, Maine (Bulan Juli 20, 2016) - Perkelahian New England (NEF), America’s number one regional fight promotion, earlier today announced the winners of this year’s contest to attend the University of Southern Maine’s (USM) annual “Brawlin’ Lobster Wrestling Clinic.”

 

Isaiah Cogswell, a junior at More High School in Bath, Maine and Benjamin Mahoney, a junior at York High School in York, Maine, will both have their tuition costs covered to attend this year’s clinic and will both receive a unique NEF prize package that includes tickets to “NEF 25: HEROES & VILLIANS” to be held on September 10th di Androscoggin Bank Colisee di Lewiston, Maine. The contest was sponsored by NEF and NEF professional featherweight mixed martial artist, Brandon “The Dream Killer” Bushaw. In order to enter, applicants needed to submit a 200-word essay outlining how attending the 2016 clinic would help them to achieve their wrestling goals. Cogswell and Mahoney were selected out of over 40 applicants.

 

“I want to attend this camp so I can achieve my goal of Maine heavyweight champion and this camp will help me not only keep my skills but to improve upon them,” wrote Mahoney, who has placed at both mid-states and the Atlantic Invitational tournament since he began wrestling on the varsity team his freshman year. “I would like to show to my coaches that I am willing to take the extra step to show leadership and experience, so that I could also be a team captain this year.”

 

“This camp would give me an opportunity to be exposed to more coaching styles and learn more about who I am as a wrestler,” Cogswell, a varsity wrestler and KVAC Champion, wrote in his essay. “I am not done, I still have work to do to reach my goals.”

 

This year’s dual sponsorship to send two wrestlers to the clinic was made possible by the contribution of Brandon Bushaw, a two-time state wrestling champion and member of the Maine Amateur Wrestling Hall of Fame. After a successful career at Westbrook High School, Bushaw went on to wrestle at Michigan State University alongside teammates and UFC-standouts Rashad Evans and Gray Maynard. With almost 20 fights under his belt between his amateur and professional mixed martial arts careers, Bushaw has never forgotten his wrestling roots and the lessons he gained from competing in the sport.

 

“Wrestling has molded my life on and off the mat since my freshman year of high school,” said Bushaw. “I look back and am so thankful to this day that Coach Walsh wouldn’t leave me alone about coming out for the Westbrook wrestling team all those years ago. If I can give back even one percent of what I got out of wrestling, it would be monumental to me. That’s why when I saw NEF was paying for a young wrestler to go to camp, I called Matt and told him I would like to send someone as well! I’m glad he accepted my offer and I hope that wrestling has the same impact on this young man’s life that it did mine!”

 

“Wrestling is one of the oldest and most effective martial arts in the world,"Menyatakan NEF co-pemilik mak comblang Matt Peterson. “Participating in the sport of wrestling has the potential to improve one’s performance in all areas of life. We’re proud to send these two deserving young men to the USM clinic this summer and hope this plays a part in helping them to achieve their goals both on and off the wrestling mat next season.”

 

“Myself and our coaching staff appreciate NEF and Brandon for sponsoring these wrestlers and giving them an opportunity to attend our camp,” stated Mike Morin, USM Head Wrestling Coach, himself a two-time All-American, when reached for comment. “We are the only NCAA program in the state and will have coaches from all over the Northeast as clinicians.

ERICKSON OUT, POWELL IN TO FACE LEMKE IN FRONT OF UFC PRESIDENT

Tinggalkan komentar

Bangor, Maine (Bulan Juli 18, 2016) – When Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White comes to Bangor onBulan Agustus 5, 2016 to check out the local talent New England Fights (NEF) has to offer, Jesse “The Viking” Erickson (7-5) will unfortunately have to watch from the sidelines. Erickson suffered an injury while training for his bout with Jon Lemke (5-5) previously-scheduled to take place that evening. White will be present to record a future episode of his web series Dana White: Lookin’ for a Fight in which professional mixed-martial-artists have a shot at earning a UFC contract based on their performance.

 

Within mere hours of being informed of Erickson’s injury, NEF executives had found a replacement in the form of the promotion’s reigning professional lightweight champion Devin Powell (7-1). The bout will be a non-title contest scheduled for three-rounds at a catchweight of 160-pounds. It is a rematch of a May 2014 NEF fight which Powell won via first-round submission. Should Lemke win the rematch, he will be in line for a title shot in the rubber match.

 

“Sekali lagi, I am incredibly thankful and grateful to NEF for making this fight happen,” kata Lemke. “Getting an opponent change last minute is usually pretty stressful. Not this time, akan tetapi, as the crew at NEF was on top of it, and the next day I had a new opponent. I am very much looking forward to getting another crack at Devin, as I had a horrible showing in our first fight. Devin is a highly-touted and talented fighter and I expect an all out battle for sure. I have been looking forward to another crack at him for some time and you will see the best Jon Lemke yet.”

 

“Taking a short notice fight against Lemke was a no brainer,” stated Powell. “No way could I pass on a chance to fight a fellow Mainer a few hours away from my mom’s hometown of Allagash, Maine. Dana, I hope you get your popcorn, because you’re about to see a show. Hell or high water, I’m getting my hand raised.”
