Портленд, Мэн (Август 31, 2017) -Новый Англия Бои (NEF) дебютирует в Портленде наПятница, Ноябрь 3, 2017 в Ауре с “NEF 31: Старый порт.” Ранее сегодня, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur mixed-martial-arts bout to the card. Carlton Charles (1-0) возьмет на себя 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) на “NEF 30” в Бангор. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. В очереди, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Это было, действительно, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.
Чарльз’ athleticism comes as no surprise, однако, 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. В настоящее время, Charles trains MMA with Charles Family Fighting alongside his older brother, and seven-fight NEF veteran, Нейт Чарльз.
“I’m real excited about the opportunity to fight in Portland,” сказал Чарльз. “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 ноября. Like Charles, Evans’ background is in football. He was a star quarterback for Sumter Central High School in Livingston, Алабама. Also like Charles, Evans has begun training and combat sports and is hoping to make a successful transition from the gridiron to the MMA cage.
