Зак Ричард (3-2-1) ще се срещне Брандън Сюол (0-1) при бойно тегло от 155 паунда.

Зак Ричард преди това се е състезавал два пъти в лека категория, спечелване на двете битки през 2018 г. Същата година, Ричард беше гласуван “Новобранец на годината” от феновете на NEF. Той все още не е усетил победата в 2019 като и трите му двубоя през тази година досега се провеждат в 145-килограмовата перо категория. Ричард отиде на пет рунда с Фред Лир за аматьорския шампионат в полутежка категория миналия февруари в това, което беше водещ претендент за “Fight на годината” през 2019 г. На септември 7, Ричард ще се стреми да отскочи от загубите назад в гръб в двете си най-скорошни битки тази пролет. В “NEF 38,” Richard dropped a five-round unanimous decision to Tom Pagliarulo (3-1) prior to losing via first-round submission to Miguel Cuevas (6-1) през юни.

“I’m very excited to get back in there after coming off two losses a month apart,” said Richard.  “I’m extremely unhappy with my fight against Tom—I definitely can’t have another off-day on fight day again. I’ve made a lot of changes to make myself happier with my life. The grind is different now.”

“Having watched Zac compete since he was a child during his youth wrestling days, I’ve seen how he navigates challenges,” noted NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “He doesn’t look for the easy way out—he’s a born competitor and he always seeks out the toughest opponents. Независимо дали беше в борбата или сега в ММА, Той дойде да се бие. Не се съмнявам, че той ще бъде на бойния път на 7 септември, търси да се върне към своите печеливши пътища. "

„Ще бъде просто – намерете го, стигнете до него, и го удрям толкова силно, колкото мога,- каза Сюол, когато беше посегнат за коментар.

„Брандън олицетворява бойния дух,” Обявената Peterson. “Когато му предложих Зак като опонент, той изобщо не се поколеба. Той е нетърпелив да докаже валидността на своите тренировки и дисциплинирана диета в клетката на NEF пред голяма публика. Брандън ще бъде много по-големият мъж в двубоя. Какъвто и да е резултатът, Знам, че и двамата ще се стремят да определят яростно темпо и да приключат борбата бързо. "

CORAPI OUT, LOCKARD IN AGAINST ERICKSON; FIGHT NOW FOR LIGHTWEIGHT TITLE AT NEF 39

За незабавно освобождаване: Lewiston, Maine (Юни 4, 2019) - New England Битки (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Юни 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced that Jesse “ВикингътErickson (9-7) ще се срещне Dylan Lockard (5-1) for the vacant NEF Professional Lightweight Championship. Former champion Ryan Sanders (18-9) decided to vacate the title late last year due to the extreme weight cuts he had to endure to make the lightweight limit of 155 паунда.

В схватката, originally scheduled to be a non-title affair between Erickson and Lewis Corapi (8-5), came about after Corapi had to pull out due to illness.

Jesse Erickson has been a perennial contender since the inception of the NEF Lightweight Title,” заяви NEF съсобственик и сватовник Мат Питърсън. “В 22 bouts between his amateur and professional career, you have to go all the way back to his very first fight in 2012 to find the one time that Erickson has ever had a fight go to the judge’s scorecards. He always competes with a ferocity that leads him to securing the finish, or being finished. He’s pure fire every time he climbs in the cage. Dylan Lockard, by the same token, has only lost once between his amateur and professional outings and is one of the hottest prospects in New England right now. Като аматьор, Lockard beat both Josh Harvey and Caleb Hall—two NEF staples that are undefeated and have looked unstoppable since turning professional. You couldn’t ask for a more perfectly matched fight between two experienced, hungry athletes to fill the highly coveted lightweight title.

Erickson has attempted to capture the lightweight belt three times previously, twice against Bruce Boyington (17-11) and once against current UFC competitor Devin Powell (9-4), only to come up short in each fight. Erickson says he will be patient in this bout in hopes of winning the title that has eluded him to date.

“First, I want to thank Dylan for stepping up to take the bout,” remarked Erickson. “He seems well-rounded and has wins over some quality opponents. I’m working hard every day and will enter the cage in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’m not going to be in a rush in the cage on June 22nd. I have five rounds to put him away and finally walk out with that belt. Победа или Валхала, fourth time’s the charm.”

Lockard will definitely be entering hostile territory with hundreds of Erickson’s hometown friends, family and fans in the crowd. The fight will take place ten pounds heavier than the featherweight limit Lockard usually competes at.

Everything about Lockard’s background, обаче, indicates that he rises to meet any challenge. In 2010 he won a state championship at 152 pounds wrestling for Timberlane Regional High School in Plaistow, New Hampshire, finishing his senior season with an impressive 38-9 record. He began his amateur MMA career in 2014 and went a perfect 4-0, defeating some of the best the region has to offer including Harvey and Hall. Lockard turned pro in the summer of 2016. His only loss to date has been against a very tough Shane Manley (5-5), who longtime NEF fans will remember as the athlete who handed both Jesse Erickson and Ray Wood (8-5) the first losses of their respective MMA careers. Lockard is currently on a two-fight win streak since the loss to Manley, most-recently upending previously-undefeated Anthony Wright (4-1) on a fight card in Rhode Island last fall.

“I’m excited to come up to Maine and fight for the NEF title,” said Lockard when reached for comment.  “Jesse is a really tough opponent, and I think we match up well. It’s going to be an exciting fight for the fans.”

“NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN,” ще се проведе в събота, Юни 22, 2019 най Androscoggin Bank Colisee в Lewiston на, Мейн с час на камбана от 7 ч. Билетите са в продажба сега в www.TheColisee.com.

SECOND WOMEN’S BOUT ADDED TO NEF 39 FIGHT CARD

За незабавно освобождаване: Lewiston, Maine (Май 29, 2019) - New England Битки (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Юни 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bantamweight bout to the card. Megan Rosado е планирано да се изправят Sarai Knapp в бой тегло от 135 килограма.

Megan Rosado is currently an even 1-1 since debuting in the NEF cage late last year. She took on Glory Watson atNEF 36in September and went the distance in a back-and-forth, thrilling contest. Watson was able to pull out a split decision on the judgesscorecards to take the victory. Rosado returned last month atNEF 38” в Портланд, Maine to face Amanda Bennett (0-2).  Отново, the fight went to the judges’ скоркарти, but this time it was Rosado walking out of the cage with the win. She represents Nate Libby’s Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.

This will be Boucher’s second attempt at capturing the flyweight belt. Then-undefeated, Boucher met Justin Witham (4-4) през ноември 2017 for the championship in Portland, Maine. Witham went on to win the bout, and the title, via split decision on the judges’ скоркарти. Many in attendance, обаче, felt that Boucher had dominated the bout.

The loss to Witham was the start of a three-fight skid for the former wrestler from Mountain Valley High School in Rumford, Maine. Boucher has rebounded and put himself back in contention for the flyweight strap with back-to-back first-round submission victories atNEF 36” и “NEF 37,” съответно.

Boucher represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in Lewiston, Maine.

“Since coming up short on the judges’ scorecards in my first title fight—a fight that many fans feel I won—I have been focused on one single goal: getting another shot at the belt,” каза Баучер. “Накрая, that opportunity is here and I don’t plan on allowing anything to stand in my way of achieving my main goal which is winning the flyweight title! I’m doing everything that I need to do in order to make sure that the judges don’t play a role in the outcome on June 22nd. Special thanks to all of my sponsors and supporters for helping me on my way back to the belt fight—I vow to make you all proud at ‘All-American’ in Lewiston.”

Robert Presley, познат като “Войнът,” comes to Maine all the way from Lancaster, Ohio to challenge for the flyweight title. He was victorious in his most recent bout last January via unanimous decision. With this being his tenth amateur bout, Presley plans on turning pro soon after. He represents both 10th Planet Jiu-Jitsu and the Lancaster Academy of MMA.

“On June 22nd, I will be flying in from the little town of Newark, Ohio to go to war with Nate Boucher for the NEF flyweight title,” said Presley. “I don’t know much about Nate, but I will be honored to share the cage with him. След тази битка, I am turning pro. I’ve learned a lot from my amateur career and am ready to showcase my talent. Many thanks to NEF for giving me a chance to please their home crowd. I hope everyone is ready for a battle!"
