Undefeated Mike Bezanson returned to NEF this past September after more than a three-year absence from cage competition. Bezanson, known for his flashy striking style and showmanship during fights, handed Jason Landry (2-1) his first loss at “NEF 40” in Orono, Maine. It took Bezanson only 41-seconds to pick up the technical knockout victory. He went on to capture a title in New Hampshire with a fourth-round knockout just weeks later.

“In 2020, I have to do some belt shopping—the one I currently hold is getting lonely and needs some friends,” said Bezanson.  “I’ll make sure the tickets are worth buying!”

Since losing his debut to Jordan Norman (2-1) verlede April, Greg Ishihara has been on a roll, winning his last two MMA bouts in the NEF cage and a Muay Thai Kickboxing fight in Vermont. Last month, Ishihara picked up his most recent win against Dylan Williams (0-3) with a knee to the body just over a minute into the first round at “NEF 41” in Portland. Ishihara represents Recon Fitness based in Westbrook, Maine.

NEF has always treated me well,” noted Ishihara. “It means a lot to meto be able to compete here in Maine. The NEF staff is always professional making for a great experience. I look forward to competing inside the NEF cage in 2020. I’m excited for this upcoming fight with Mike. He’s flashy and his movement is impressive. This fight will give me the opportunity to display the full range of my skill set. I’m diligent in my preparation and I take pride in my work and performance. My goal is to hold the NEF title at 170-pounds and defend it.

CALEB AUSTIN EN DILLON HENRY OM TE VERGADER IN VLIEGGEWEGKAMP OP NEF 42

VIR ONMIDDELLIKE VRYSTELLING: Portland, Maine (Desember 13, 2019) - New England Fights (NEF) sal sy volgende gemengde vegkuns hou (Plaasmoorde) gebeurtenis, “NEF 42: Simfonie van vernietiging,” Saterdag, Februarie 8, 2020 by Merrill Auditorium in Portland. Vroeër vandag, NEF het die toevoeging van 'n amateurvlieggewigstryd op die kaart aangekondig.Caleb “Dr.. Feelgood ”Austin(3-0) sal voldoenDillon Henry(0-3) teen 'n gevegsgewig van 125 pond.

Die onoorwonne Caleb Austin het die afgelope herfs na meer as twee jaar na NEF teruggekeer. Dit het Austin net meer as 'n minuut geneem om 'n oorwinning oor Cory Richards te beklink (0-1) in September by “NEF 40”. In November, Austin het die tweede ronde saam met Ryan Fogg aangegaan (0-1) voordat u nog 'n tegniese uitklopoorwinning behaal. Met die huidige amateurvlieggewigkampioen Nate Boucher (6-3) Austin word 'n pro as 'NEF 42', en word beskou as een van die beste kandidate vir die vakante band as hy verby Henry sou kom.

Sukses in atletiek is niks nuuts vir Caleb Austin nie. Hy het 'n indrukwekkende rekord van 208-11 stoei vir die Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine en verower staatstitels op 126 pond sy junior en senior jaar. Die Lewiston Sun Journal het Austin aangewys as die "worstelaar van die jaar" in 2017. Na die gradeplegtigheid, Austin het voortgegaan om te stoei terwyl hy aan die Universiteit van Suid-Maine gegaan het. Hy verteenwoordig tans die Brasiliaanse Jiu-Jitsu in Sentraal-Maine (CMBJJ) van Lewiston, Maine.

'Die hoeveelheid ondersteuning wat ek sedert September gekry het toe ek na die MMA-hok teruggekeer het, was vernederend,”Het Austin gesê. 'Ek is in die gimnasium en hardloop elke dag met Februarie in my gedagtes. Gaan 2-0 hierdie herfs seisoen was wonderlik, maar ek het groter dinge voor my 2020. Ek sal volgende jaar die NEF vlieggewigkampioenskap wen en Dillon Henry is net die volgende hindernis voor my op pad na die doel. Ek wil vinniger en meer skoon wen elke keer as ek in die hok kom. Dit is 'n eer elke keer as ek voor die NEF-aanhangers veg - en ek kan nie wag om dit weer op 8 Februarie in die Merrill-ouditorium te doen nie. '

Dillon Henry kom op Februarie na die hok 8 op soek na die eerste oorwinning in sy amateurloopbaan. Henry debuteer verlede Februarie teen die bogenoemde Nate Boucher, wat toe reeds ses gevegte gehad het. Die afgelope September het Henry teen Stephen Desjardins deelgeneem wat as sewe-veg-veteraan in die stryd getree het. Henry was besig om die oorhand oor Desjardins te kry totdat hy sy eie skouer ontwrig het en in die eerste ronde 'n hou geslaan het. Hy verteenwoordig tans First Class MMA van Brunswick, Maine.

“Ek gaan baie sê, maar die lewe kan onverwagte draaie neem en jy begin om nuwe redes baklei,Sê Henry.  'Ek sien uit na 8 Februarie, genoeg gesê."

'N Vegter is meer as sy rekord en Dillon Henry is 'n uitstekende voorbeeld daarvan,”Het Matt Peterson, mede-eienaar en pasmaat van NEF, opgemerk.  'Dillon voer altyd harde gevegte met die doel om as amateur beter te word, sodat hy uiteindelik sy stempel as 'n pro kan afdruk. Caleb is sy volgende uitdaging en ek is seker dat Dillon die stryd sal meebring en dit 'n prettige uitdaging vir ons as aanhangers sal maak. Caleb het binnegekom vinnig 'n impak gemaak gedurende die herfsseisoen. Kan hy sy onoorwonne reeks voortsit om 'n nuwe jaar en 'n nuwe dekade te begin?? Ons sal dit op 8 Februarie uitvind. '

Justin Middleton burst onto the NEF fight scene with an upset victory over Jon Assam (1-2) last month at “NEF 41” in Portland.

He submitted Assam via rear-naked choke in the first round. Middleton is a longtime, distinguished, and heavily-decorated Army Ranger that served the United States proudly in Iraq.

“I’m honored to have such a seasoned and accomplished opponent so early in my career,” said Middleton.  “I know that it’s going to be a challenge, and I will be training accordingly. 155 is the optimum performance weight for me, and I will be coming with everything I’ve got. I’m sure Mo and I will give the fans a war.
