即時發布: 波特蘭, 緬因 (十二月 10, 2019) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF) 將舉行下一次混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “NEF 42: 毀滅交響曲,” 週六, 二月 8, 2020 美林禮堂在波特蘭。今天早些時候, NEF announced the addition of a professional catchweight fight to the card.內特“背包”鮑徹 將他的專業首演反對“Sleepy” Norman Fox (0-1) 在130磅重的鬥爭.
2019 was a banner year for Boucher. He finished his amateur career with a stellar 6-3 record and captured NEF’s amateur flyweight title at “NEF 41” last month in what would be his final amateur fight. Boucher has won his last four fights in a row – all by first round rear-naked choke submission. Shortly after his title victory, Boucher engaged in a heated exchange on Facebook with Fox who challenged Boucher to enter the pro ranks to fight him. Boucher was quick to accept the challenge. He currently represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) 路易斯頓的, 緬因.
“I closed out 2019 by doing exactly what I said I was going to do,” stated Boucher. “I went 3-0 and won the New England Fights Amateur Flyweight Title. I planned on taking time off to focus on my unborn child’s arrival. 然而, Norman had quite a mouthful to say and asked for the fight. 所以, I did what fighters do and took the fight immediately. Norman is in for a long night on February 8th. I hope for his sake that he fully prepares for this. The way I see it, I was given a gift to kick off my pro career. Thank you to Cure Cannabis and the rest of my loyal sponsors and supporters for helping me get to this point in my career—I look forward to the next level with all of you.”
Norman Fox returns to the NEF cage after a four year hiatus from competition. He was last seen at “NEF 21” in February 2016 in a losing effort in his professional debut. Fox went 4-2 作為一個業餘, finishing his opponents in all four of his wins. Fox is currently a member of First Class MMA based in Brunswick, 緬因.
“Nate is one-dimensional,” declared Fox. “All he can do is wrestle. If he doesn’t immediately shoot for a takedown, he will as soon as my hands touch his face. I’m dangerous everywhere. If he does get the fight to the ground, he will regret it.”
The catchweight bout joins an already star-studded lineup on the professional portion of the card. Previously announced for “NEF 42” is a five-round professional lightweight title fight between former NEF champion and World Series of Fighting veteran布魯斯“漂亮男孩”Boyington (17-11) WEC和UFC和老將喬希“福祿克”Grispi(14-5). Another lightweight fight announced for “NEF 42” will feature two Maine fan-favorites as reigning NEF Professional Featherweight Champion喬希“勾上”哈維(7-0-1) 把他的不敗紀錄逆勢而行傑西“海盜”埃里克森 (9-8) in a non-title encounter. And Bellator veteran多米尼克“Domnation”瓊斯 (2-3) 和卡爾·蘭斯頓 (0-4) will square off in a professional featherweight contest.
