ZAC RICHARD RETURNS TO NEF CAGE IN LIGHTWEIGHT DIVISION AGAINST BRANDON SEWALL

לשחרורו מיידי: אורונו, מיין (יולי 19, 2019) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) תהיה הופעה ראשונה ב אורונו בספטמבר 7, 2019 במרכז קולינס לאמנויות עם אירוע מעורב אמנויות לחימה הבא של קידום, “NEF 40: הספר קשה knocks.” מוקדם יותר היום, NEF announced the addition of an amateur lightweight bout to the card. זאק ריצ'רד (3-2-1) ייפגש Brandon Sewall (0-1) במשקל קרב של 155 קילו.

Zac Richard has competed twice previously in the lightweight division, winning both fights in 2018. That same year, Richard was voted “רוקי השנה” by NEF fans. He has yet to taste victory in 2019 with all three of his fights this year thus far taking place in the 145-pound featherweight division. Richard went to a five-round draw with Fred Lear for the amateur featherweight championship last February in what has been a leading contender for “מאבק של השנה” in 2019. On September 7, Richard will look to bounce back from back-to-back losses in his two most recent fights this spring. AtNEF 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) בחודש יוני.

“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. Whether it was in wrestling or now in MMA, הוא מגיע להילחם. I have no doubt that he will be on the warpath on September 7th, looking to get back to his winning ways.”

Zac Richard has drawn a big one for his return to the lightweight division. Brandon Sewall stands 6’1,towering over most others in the weight class. The resident of Bath, Maine will look for his first win in the NEF cage after losing his debut to Jimmy Jackson (4-3) בחודש שעבר ב “NEF 39.

“It is going to be simplelocate him, get at him, and strike him as hard as I can,” said Sewall when reached for comment.

“Brandon embodies the martial spirit,” stated Peterson. “When I suggested Zac to him as an opponent, he didn’t hesitate at all. He’s eager to prove the validity of his training and disciplined diet in the NEF cage in front of a big audience. Brandon will be the much bigger man in the bout. Whatever the outcome, I know that both guys will be looking to set a furious pace and finish the fight quickly.”

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

לשחרורו מיידי: Lewiston, מיין (יוני 4, 2019) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, יוני 22 עם אירוע אומנויות הלחימה המעורב הבא, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced that ג'סי “ויקינגאריקסון (9-7) ייפגש דילן 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 קילו.

התקף, 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,” בעלים משותפים האמורים NEF ושדכן מאט פיטרסון. “ב 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. דילן 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. כחובבן, 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. Victory or Valhalla, 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, עם זאת, 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, ניו המפשייר, 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,” יתקיים בשבת, יוני 22, 2019 בColisee בנק Androscoggin בLewiston, Maine with a bell time of 7 pm. כרטיסים במכירה כעת ב www.TheColisee.com.

SECOND WOMEN’S BOUT ADDED TO NEF 39 CARD FIGHT

לשחרורו מיידי: Lewiston, מיין (מאי 29, 2019) - קרבות ניו אינגלנד (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, יוני 22 עם אירוע אומנויות הלחימה המעורב הבא, “NEF 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” מוקדם יותר היום, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bantamweight bout to the card. Megan Rosado מתוכנן להתמודד Sarai Knapp במשקל מאבק של 135 קילו-.

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” בפורטלנד, Maine to face Amanda Bennett (0-2).  שוב, the fight went to the judges’ כרטיסי ניקוד, but this time it was Rosado walking out of the cage with the win. She represents Nate Libby’s Evolution Athletix based in Saco, מיין.

“I’m super excited to step back into the cage for my third amateur fight,” אמר רוזאדו. “It’s safe to say that I’m addicted to the whole fight experience! I may not have a squeaky clean undefeated record, but getting a taste of a loss and a win is what makes you more dangerous, לדיעה. אני לא יודע כלום על היריב שלי, but that doesn’t even begin to scare me.
