NEF RETURNS TO MAINE WITH STACKED FIGHT CARD FEATURING FOUR TITLE FIGHTS
即时发布: 波特兰, 缅因 (十月 22, 2021) – When the bell rings at 7 pm EST to start the show on Friday, 十一月 5, it will be the first time New England Fights (NEF) has presented a mixed-martial-arts (MMA) event in its home state of Maine in 21 months. Shortly after the venerable fight promotion held “NEF 42” at Merrill Auditorium in Portland on February 8, 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic gripped the state and the nation. The resulting shutdown forced the indefinite postponement of “NEF 43” which was scheduled to take place in Orono, Maine later that spring. With the state not fully opening for combat sports events until well into 2021, NEF decided to turn to neighboring New Hampshire to hold “NEF 44” last summer. “NEF 45: Uprising” on November 5 will see the fight promotion make its long-awaited return to action in Maine, as well as close out its first decade of business. The event will originate from Aura in Portland.
今天早些时候，, NEF announced the full fight card for “NEF 45.” It is scheduled to feature a total of 21 bouts with four championships to be decided.
在晚上的重头戏, 乔希“勾上”哈维(7-1-1) will defend the NEF Professional Featherweight Title against the challenge of阿吉兰多·布兰道(9-8). Harvey has held the championship since February 2019. Brandao is a tough veteran with more than 15 years of cage experience.
The co-main event will seeMark “Pockets” Gardner(1-2)担当Nick Alley (7-4) in a professional welterweight contest. Both competitors are veterans of global promotion Bellator’s cage. Both will be looking to bounce back from losses in their respective previous bouts.
扎克“洛奇”理查德 (0-0) 将他的专业首演反对卡尔·兰斯顿(0-5) after a successful amateur career that saw Richard capture the NEF 155-pound title. Langston seeks his first win as a professional fighter.
In other pro bouts, Matt “Ken Doll” Denning(5-10) meets former University of Southern Maine wrestling standoutJon Deupree (0-0) in Deupree’s pro debut, while former NEF Professional Middleweight ChampionCJ壶(3-3) 战斗肖恩·雷 (2-1) 在次中量级划分.
The amateur portion of the fight card will be headlined by three title fights: 奥斯汀迦勒(5-0) 面孔泰勒·斯迈思 (2-1) for the vacant flyweight belt; Felipe Günter(3-0) is scheduled to square off with泰迪政治日报 (2-0) for the vacant bantamweight championship; 和纳撒尼尔Grimard(4-0) will defend his newly-won featherweight strap against比利威尔逊(6-1).
The sole women’s fight of the evening will also take place on the amateur card asBJ Garceau(1-1) 符合开张Hayley Martin (0-0) in a strawweight bout. Garceau last appeared in the NEF cage three years earlier at “NEF 36.”
“It feels like forever since we had a fight in Maine—and what a card to come back with,“说NEF共同拥有和媒人马特·彼得森. “So many prospects in this lineup, so many undefeated fighters putting their perfect records on the line, so much at stake for so many impressive athletes putting themselves to the test on November 5th. Four title fights. For headliner Josh Harvey, his next fight could be the last chance to see him compete before he gets the call to the UFC —he’s that close. Leading up to the main event we have several undefeated amateur athletes that are on the cusp of turning pro and trying to follow in Harvey’s footsteps. AURA is the place to be November 5th!”
