У галоўным падзеі, “The” Ryan Sanders (10-8) сустрэнецца Джон Лэмке (5-6) in a professional lightweight bout. It will be Sandersfirst fight in Lewiston since November 2014. Much has been made of the fact that Sanders and Lemke are former teammates. The bout is considered adream matchby Maine fight fans, especially those from the Bangor-area familiar with the rivalry between Sanderscamp Young’s MMA and Lemke’s camp Team Irish.

 

The co-main event of the evening will feature an interestingcoach vs. трэнер” бой. “Небіткія 2,0” Дэрэк Шори (4-7), head of the Shatterproof Combat Club, is scheduled to face Ruthless MMA & Boxing founder Джош Паркер (4-8) in a professional featherweight contest.

Rounding out the professional portion of the card will be undefeated prospect Аарон “Нястомны” Лэйсі (3-0) і Тэйлар Trahan (6-6) у полулегком бой. Lacey and Trahan both submitted their respective opponents atNEF 25” У мінулым месяцы. Many local followers of the sport feel that Lacey is just a handful of wins away from getting the call to the major league of the sport.

Having won all five amateur bouts and each of his first four professional fights by way of first round submission, it is Roberts’ ground game that keeps his opponents up at night.
