Portland, Maine (Agosto 31, 2017) Luchas -Nueva Inglaterra (NEF) hará su esperado debut en Portland elViernes, Noviembre 3, 2017 en Aura con “NEF 31: El Puerto Viejo.” El día de hoy, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Carlton Charles (1-0) se enfrentará a Nate Evans (0-0) at a catchweight of 175-pounds.
Carlton Charles shocked the Maine MMA community earlier this month with his stunning first-round technical knockout of Josh Jones (2-1) en “NEF 30” in Bangor. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. En turno, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Era, ciertamente, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.
Charles’ athleticism comes as no surprise, sin embargo, to those who know him. He excelled in football for Windham High School. As an assistant coach, Charles later lead Windham to a Class A state championship. He went on to play for the NCAA Division I University of Maine Black Bears. Actualmente, Charles trains MMA with Charles Family Fighting alongside his older brother, and seven-fight NEF veteran, Nate Charles.
“I’m real excited about the opportunity to fight in Portland,” dijo Charles. “Not often have we seen MMA in Portland, so it’s definitely going to get a lot of attention. It’s a bit closer to home than Bangor was, so I feel like I’ll have a lot of support there. I hope to put on a good show and look to build on the success of my first fight. I know my opponent will be tough so I am training hard to be prepared.”
Nate Evans will be making his debut on 3 ª de noviembre de. Like Charles, Evans’ background is in football. He was a star quarterback for Sumter Central High School in Livingston, Alabama.
