Lima and Page first met inside the BELLATOR Cage in May 2019 ynBELLATOR 221in the semifinals of BELLATOR’s Welterweight World Grand Prix.

WOMEN’S FIGHT WILL MARK THE RETURN OF GLORY WATSON TO THE NEF CAGE
I'W RYDDHAU AR UNWAITH: Milford, New Hampshire (Gorffennaf 16, 2021) - Ymladd Lloegr Newydd (NEF) returns with its next event, "NEF 44: Back in Black,” on August 21, 2021, at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire.

Earlier today, NEF announced the addition of a professional women’s strawweight bout to the fight card.Glory Watson(0-1) wedi ei raglennu i gyfarfodRebecca Brygmann(0-1) at a fight weight of 115 bunnoedd.
Glory Watson last appeared in the NEF cage in November 2019, suffering her first and only amateur loss in a strawweight title fight to a very tough Cara Greenwell (10-5). Prior to that time, Watson had rattled off six wins in a row to start her amateur career, capturing the NEF Women’s Amateur Bantamweight Championship in the process. She made her professional debut during the pandemic on a fight card in Florida, losing via first round submission to Ariana Melendez (1-1). Watson looks to get her first win as a professional on August 21. She currently represents Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine.
“I am looking forward to returning to the cage for an amazing promotion and to do so against an experienced opponent,” said Watson. “This will be my second professional fight, and I am beyond excited for the cage doors to lock behind me! Wishing my opponent a healthy fight camp and best of skill on August 21st!"
Like her opponent, Rebecca Bryggman will also be looking for the first win of her professional career at NEF 44. Bryggman made her pro debut for national promotion Bellator in a losing effort to Elise Reed (4-0) in October 2019. She was 2-1 fel amatur, undefeated in MMA with her sole loss coming in a kickboxing bout. Bryggman fights out of New York.
“It’s all about divine timing and I’ve been hungry, patiently waiting to get back in the cage,” noted Bryggman. “Now is the time. A starved animal is a dangerous animal, and I’m that animal.”
Tickets for “NEF 44: Back in Black” are on sale now atwww.NewEnglandFights.com/Tickets/. The MMA and kickboxing event will take place at the Hampshire Dome in Milford, New Hampshire on Saturday, Awst 21, 2021, with a bell-time of 7 pm.

SFT 27 this Thursday screening on FITE from Brazil
The wait is over!
Two title fights featured on SF7 27
This Thursday on FITE from Brazil
SAO PAULO, Brasil (Gorffennaf 12, 2021) – The first SFT event of 2021,SFT 27, will be held this Thursday night (Gorffennaf 15) Sao Paulo mewn, Brasil, featuring a pair of SFT title fights, in SFT’s first show since last December.
SFT 27 will be streamed exclusively on FITE in the United States and worldwide on pay per view via the FITE app and website (www.FITE.tv), gan ddechrau am 6:00 p.m. A / 3:00 p.m. PT, for only $14.99.
“The wait is over,” SFT presidentDavid Hudson proclaimed. “Our main event between rising star ‘Maumito’ and always dangerous Bispo will determine who the King of Brazilian lightweights is today. We also have another SFT title fight as Cantuaria and Borges battle for the vacant SFT female flyweight crown. The rest of this card is loaded as well with some of Brazil’s up-and-coming fighters
The main event pits SFT’s 2020 Ymladdwr y Flwyddyn, Manuel “Maumito” Sousa (6-0-0, SFT: 6-0-0), yn erbyn cyn-filwrBrendo “The Monster” Bispo (17-4-0, SFT: 1-0-0) for the vacant SFT Lightweight Championship.
The 23-year-old Sousa is a tremendous striker whose overall combat sports record includes 23 straight victories in kickboxing, 18 gan knockout, and all six of his pro MMA fights have been victories in SFT competition, none going into the third round.
“I’m training well, a lot on the ground, because I know he has a Jiu-Jitsu black belt,” Sousa reported. “But since I’m training hard, I’m not worried about that. MMA brings together all areas, so you need to be ready. In training, we put ourselves in danger, as if we were in the fight, and that increases my confidence, and it keeps the gas in check. At 27 mlwydd oed, Brendo Bispo has more experience in professional MMA than me with 17 wins and four losses. ‘Maranhão’ sees the point as positive, Fodd bynnag,, he knows that it is not a guarantee of victory. Therefore, he benefits from his work carried out at Chute Boxe Diego Lima, one of the main teams in the country.”
Currently on a 6-fight win streak, Bispo accepted the challenge of fighting hot prospect Sousa after a few other fighters passed on the opportunity. Acclaimed as one of the top lightweights in Brazil, Bispo now has the chance to prove he’s No. 1 versus Sousa. Bispo trains at the famed Chute Boxeo, under the direction of the famedCharles Oliveira. A solid all-around fighter, the more experienced Bispo has seven victories by knockout, along with five more by submission.
“As often as I’ve fought,” Bispo said, “I always think like it’s the first time. Felly, I don’t generate as many expectations and my mind goes blank, something that helps me a lot in my daily life and in the fight. On the other hand, I’ve learned a lot by climbing in the cage to fight 22 Amseroedd, so that helps. The main one, Fodd bynnag,, is the training at Chute Boxe Diego Lima. Now, in the final stretch of the fight, we are going more slowly, working on our strategy, rest, and weight loss. Diego Lima is my teacher, ffrind, and manager (chwerthin), so he’s been with me. Unfortunately, he won’t be able to be in my corner, but he spent the necessary time.You can expect a renewed Brendo; more technical, gyflymach, and stronger.
Yn y digwyddiad yn cynnwys cyd-, Mayra Cantuaria (8-3-1, SFT: 2-0-0) wynebauPaty Borges (4-4-0, SFT: 2-2-0) for the vacant SFT Female Flyweight Championship. Cantuaria, who has fought the in the traditional Japanese event, Pacrase, while Borges has won her last two fights heading into her showdown with Cantuaria.
Another sensational match-up isBruno “Beirutel” Tavares (13-5-1, SFT: 1-0-0) against featherweightThiago “Manchinha” Silva(19-9-0 (SFT: 0-1-0).
