Portland, מיין (יוני 17, 2018) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף) made its return to Portland, Maine on Saturday night with the fight promotion’s latest mixed-martial-arts event, “נעף 34: Home of the Brave.” A jam-packed house of fight fans took in the action as NEF fighters delivered the non-stop excitement from bell to bell in what many are calling one of the best events the company has ever produced.
On a card featuring a total of 18 פייץ, די ריכטער’ scorecards were not needed until the thirteenth bout of the evening. Prior to that time, the early card featured a plethora of exciting finishes including a pair of D’Arce Chokes courtesy of Angelo Rizzitello (2-1) and Henry Clark (4-4) and highlight-reel knockouts by Cody Rolling (5-5) and Zac Lawrence (1-0). Thirteen of the evening’s fights ended in the first round.
Kam Arnold (4-0) and Killian Murphy (1-1) waged an absolute war for the vacant amateur bantamweight title in what made history as the first amateur fight in Maine to ever go beyond the old three-round limit. Arnold claimed the title with a fourth-round knockout in a bout that will certainly be a contender for “פייט פון די יאר” this December when voting begins.
Not to be outdone, Carlton Charles (2-2) and Duncan “The Highlander” סמיט (3-2) took their amateur welterweight title fight into the fourth round as well. Smith took the gold home after putting Charles out with a rear-naked choke.
On the professional side of the card, Young’s MMA teammates “די” Ryan Sanders (16-9) and Aaron “רילענטליס” לאַסעי (5-2) were in action. Sanders submitted Vince McGuiness (5-8) with just seconds remaining in the first round while Lacey lost a unanimous decision to Da’Mon Blackshear (5-1) אין די הויפּט געשעעניש.

Tickets will go on sale to the general public this Monday morning at 10 בין. A pre-sale for online tickets started Saturday night at www.CrossInsuranceCenter.com with pre-sale code “NEF.”
