Mimi nina hatari, na imani yangu ni kupitia paa na wakati ni kama hii, ni kwenda kuchukua duniani darasa mwanariadha kuacha mimi, na mtazamo wangu kambi hii yote itakuwa juu ya iliyobaki wanyenyekevu na umakini. Wakati Februari 6 inakuja, Mimi nitakuwa hatari zaidi Bruce Boyington kwamba aliyewahi kupitiwa mguu katika ngome, na mimi kujua kama mimi nataka kuwa katika huko sasa hivi, Mimi nina kweli kwenda kuwa na njaa kwa wakati huo.”

The bout is one that Maine fight fans have waited a long time to see.

With Lemke competing out of Marcus Davis’ Timu Ireland katika Brewer karibu, Maine, mpinzani msalaba-mji wa Vijana wa MMA, Boyington and Lemke seemed like natural rivals. But they often passed like ships in the night, and the stars never aligned for an encounter between the two. That was until “NEF XX” mwezi uliopita wakati, muda mfupi tu kabla ya Boyington alichukua ngome dhidi Davidson, Lemke wameshindwa Mathayo Denning (2-1) in that evening’s co-main event. It was an impressive performance that saw Lemke overwhelm a game Denning as the first round went on. With both Lemke and Boyington scheduled to appear on the February card, na wala kuwa na mpinzani saini, wakati muafaka kwa mara “Vita kwa ajili ya Bangor,” kama mashabiki dubbed ni, na hatimaye kuchukua nafasi.

Bruce is the man and has done a phenomenal job promoting himself as champion, and in the process brought a lot of attention to the rest of the MMA community in the area. He has a couple of titles with different promotions and had fights on the national stage. He presents a unique and explosive set of challenges that I very much look forward to rising up and meeting that challenge head on. Hii ni kwenda kuwa mashindano makubwa kwamba mashabiki si kwenda unataka miss, hivyo kupata tiketi yako na kuja juu chini.”

“Sijui kama kuna yoyote ile moja mashabiki kupambana kuuliza sisi kuona zaidi ya hii moja,” exclaimed NEF co-owner and promoter Nick DiSalvo. “Inaonekana kama angalau mara chache kwa wiki sisi ni kupata ujumbe kuuliza 'wakati sisi kwenda kuona vita kwa ajili Bangor kati ya Lemke na Boyington?’ Naam, ni kinatokea kwenyeFebruari 6 at ‘NEF 21,’ na kila mtu ndani ya shirika letu ni tu kama msisimko kama mashabiki kuona hivyo!”
