Key Baltazar remains undefeated after debuting as an amateur in 2022. His first fight took place at “NEF 46” last February in Portland. Baltazar submitted Quinn Poirier that evening in the second round. He would return this past summer at “NEF 48” to take on Hannon Sanford. After a hard-fought, three-round battle, Baltazar got the win by unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards. He currently represents Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, New Hampshire.

“I like the energy Nate brings into the cage,” noted Baltazar.  “But that’s about it. I’m excited to show a different side of my style. The bantamweight belt will go home with me to Nostos.”

Like Baltazar, Nate Dorr also made his amateur MMA debut in 2022 and is currently undefeated with two wins. His first fight was against Tyler Parent last spring at “NEF 47” in Auburn, Maine. Dorr was able to pull out a unanimous decision victory in that bout. He would return at “NEF 48” for his sophomore fight against Clifford Redman. Dorr defeated the more experienced Redman via technical knockout in the first round. He represents Acadia BJJ based in Ellsworth, Maine.

“The belt has always been in my sights,” said Dorr. “I’ve been training for that title shot this entire time and I feel ready. Didn’t expect a shot this early, but I have every intention of wearing that belt after the fight.”

"NEF 51: Banger in Bangor” is scheduled for Saturday night, Fevereiro 11, 2023, at the Cross Insurance Center in Bangor, Maine. Tickets are available now atwww.TicketMaster.com.

LANGSTON STEPS IN TO REMATCH RICHARD AT NEF 46 ESTE SÁBADO

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Fevereiro 8, 2022) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 46: Década de Domínio," no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. A principal promoção regional lançada em fevereiro 11, 2012. Hoje cedo, NEF anunciou a adição de uma luta profissional peso pena para o cartão de luta.Carl Langston(0-6) vai assumirZac "Rocky" Richard (1-0) com um peso de luta de 145 libras.

Langston stepped in on short notice to replace Richard’s previous opponent Urias Osorio (0-0) who pulled out of the fight earlier in the week. Likewise, Langston was recently left without an opponent on the “NEF 46” card when his originally-scheduled opponent Shaun Ray (2-1) revealed to promoters that he could no longer pass medicals to obtain a fight license.

The bout will now be a rematch of the first meeting between Langston and Richard that took place last November at “NEF45.” That fight, which was Richard’s professional debut, saw Richard defeat Langston by technical knockout in the first round. Langston says the outcome will be different this Saturday.

“When I got asked to take this rematch on short notice it was a no brainer for me,” said Langston.  “Thank you to NEF for the opportunity and Zac’s team. This fight is going to have a very different outcome.”

“I’m very disappointed in the original fight being dropped,” noted Richard. “However, I worked too hard to sit on the sidelines and watch. I’m thankful to still have the opportunity to fight.”

GRIMARD E VASTA DEFINIDOS PARA SE PROVOCAR NA NEF 46

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Novembro 30, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 46: Década de Domínio," no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. A principal promoção regional lançada em fevereiro 11, 2012. Hoje cedo, NEF anunciou a adição de um ataque pluma profissional para o cartão da luta. Ex-campeão amador peso pena da NEFNathaniel Grimard (0-0) está programado para assumirAnthony Answer (0-0) com um peso de luta de 145 quilos.

Nathaniel Grimard fez sua estreia no NEF MMA em setembro 2019 em “NEF 40: School of Hard Knocks. ” Aquela noite, Grimard enviou Justin Kangas (0-3) via armlock no primeiro round. Durante o bloqueio pandêmico, Grimard competiu duas vezes na Flórida e melhorou seu recorde para 3-0. Sua invencibilidade posicionou Grimard para desafiar o então vago NEF Featherweight Championship. Em Agosto, Grimard parou Brandon Maillet-Fevens (3-2) na segunda rodada em “NEF 44: Back in Black ”para se tornar o detentor do título de 145 libras. Grimard voltou para a jaula em “NEF 45: Uprising ”para defender sua correia contra Billy Wilson (7-1) do famoso acampamento Jackson Wink MMA no Novo México. Grimard perdeu uma difícil decisão de cinco rounds que fez de Wilson o novo campeão. Agora, Grimard aperta o botão de reset enquanto planeja se tornar profissional contra o recém-chegado NEF, Anthony Answer. Grimard representa o Nostos MMA da Somersworth, New Hampshire, onde treina sob o comando do veterano do UFC e do Bellator, e ex-campeão profissional leve NEF, Devin Powell (10-5).

“Não consigo imaginar uma maneira melhor de começar minha carreira profissional do que com o cartão do 10º aniversário do NEF,”Grimard afirmou. “Tenho grandes objetivos para mim e estou pronto para enfrentar qualquer pessoa no meu caminho. Eu não tenho nada além de respeito por Vasta e suas habilidades em artes marciais, mas nunca estive tão focado. ”

Anthony Vasta também fará sua estreia profissional no NEF 46. Vasta e Grimard fizeram suas respectivas estreias amadoras no MMA com alguns meses de diferença.. Vasta e Grimard compartilham outro laço comum, já que ambos competiram no mesmo cartão na Flórida durante a pandemia. Vasta tem um 1-1 registro amador e treina na Defensive Edge Martial Arts Academy em Wakefield, Massachusetts.

“Ser capaz de fazer minha estreia profissional contra outro lutador em ascensão da Nova Inglaterra que eu respeito é emocionante,”Vasta afirmou. “É hora de dar o próximo passo em minha carreira, coloque minhas habilidades à prova, e aproveitar a oportunidade. Meu estilo é realmente heterodoxo e difícil de preparar para. Eu pretendo ir lá e ter um desempenho dominante contra outra perspectiva difícil desta divisão. ”

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance ”acontece no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. As portas abrem às 6 pm com primeira luta às 7 PM. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.Ticketmaster.com.

CHAMP VS FORMER CHAMP SET FOR FLYWEIGHT TITLE FIGHT ON FEBRUARY 12TH

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Novembro 26, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 46: Década de Domínio," no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. A principal promoção regional lançada em fevereiro 11, 2012. Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bout to the fight card. NEF Flyweight ChampionTyler Smythe (3-1) is scheduled to defend his title against former NEF Flyweight ChampionRyan "Gordo" Burgess (3-2) com um peso de luta de 125 libras.

Tyler Smythe notched his third MMA win and captured coveted NEF gold in the process when he recently stopped previously undefeated flyweight prospect Caleb “Dr. Feelgood ”Austin (5-1) em uma performance de “Fight of the Night” no “NEF 45: Levante. ” Abaixo na pontuação, mas não desanimado, Smythe conquistou uma vitória inesperada para ganhar o nocaute técnico (QUEM) paralisação sobre Austin no segundo final da quarta rodada de sua luta pelo campeonato. Nunca é um abrandar, Smythe, que é treinado por Nate Libby fora do Evolution Athletix no Saco, Maine, está ansioso para dar uma reviravolta imediata e defender seu título contra um ex-campeão do NEF.

“De sino em sino, cada rodada, Vou atacar esse garoto como se ele me devesse dinheiro,”Smythe afirmou. “Eu quero um final rápido. Ryan não merece estar naquela jaula comigo. 12 de fevereiro, Vou mostrar porque sou o campeão dos pesos mosca do NEF. ”

Ryan Burgess is no stranger to championship challenges. Hailing from Rumford, Maine, Burgess is one of only four Mountain Valley High School mat men to ever win triple state crowns in wrestling. He amassed an amazing 151-23 overall high school record before graduating and turning his attention to mixed martial arts. Burgess quickly made a name for himself in MMA when he won the NEF Flyweight Championship in November 2015 with a split-decision nod over then Champion Dustin Veinott (5-4). When Burgess last competed, he displayed a dangerous Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) game off his back in defeating Nate Boucher (0-1) in a heated hometown rivalry. Cidadão, a BJJ purple belt, trains under Jason “JB” Bell and fights out of Bell’s Famoso BJJ.

“I’m super excited to make my return on NEF’s 10-year anniversary show,” Burgess stated. “It’s been a long time coming for me to return to the cage and I can’t think of a more perfect scenario than coming back and regaining my flyweight title with a finish over Smythe. It’s been three years since I’ve competed, but my coach, Jason Bell, and I have been putting in work behind the scenes. I can’t wait to showcase my skills and put on a show for the fans.

“Smythe seems like a tough opponent, and it was no easy feat for him to defeat Caleb Austin for the belt,” Burgess continued. “With that being said, I see many holes in his game that I plan to exploit come February 12th. Espero que ele não esteja esperando o mesmo lutador que está assistindo no filme de mais de três anos que está pesquisando para me entender melhor. Mentalmente e habilmente, Eu sou um lutador muito superior em comparação com minhas lutas anteriores e apenas meus parceiros de treinamento realmente sabem as armas que irei trazer para a gaiola para fazer o trabalho. Smythe pode repensar toda a sua busca por uma carreira profissional no MMA quando eu terminar com ele. A pressão que vou exercer derreteria qualquer um desses pesos-mosca amadores na Nova Inglaterra e, em fevereiro, eles estarão avisados. ”

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance ”acontece no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. As portas abrem às 6 pm com primeira luta às 7 PM. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.Ticketmaster.com.

ASSAM VS KANGAS SET TO STRIKE AT NEF 46 10-YEAR ANNIVERSARY EVENT

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Novembro 24, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 46: Década de Domínio," no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. A principal promoção regional lançada em fevereiro 11, 2012. Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur welterweight bout to the fight card.Jon Assam (2-3) is scheduled to take on former lightweightJustin Kangas (0-3) com um peso de combate de 170 libras-.

Jon Assam will have fought for NEF for four straight years when he steps in the cage on February 12th. O Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) staple most recently made Austin Hamilton (0-3) retire on the stool in between rounds when they faced-off at the Hampshire Dome last August at “NEF 44: Back in Black” in New Hampshire. Assam will be looking to extend his win streak to two when he shares the cage with Kangas in February.

“I’m very excited to be part of another NEF event, always good cards and good fights,” Assam stated. “I don’t like to do much talking outside of the cage, but my opponent can expect the same thing I expect from him—the best version of ourselves—and we’ll see whose best is better.”

Justin Kangas has struggled to find his first win in NEF, having dropped losses to a who’s who of young up and coming talent including Nate “The Mule White (5-0) and former NEF Featherweight Champion Nathaniel Grimard (4-1). Standing 6’3”, the cut to 155-pounds has always been a struggle for the moonlighting mixed martial artist who spends his days working as a school principal. Having finally found the rhythm between his professional life and passion for training, Kangas is confident that the move up in weight class will help him secure that elusive first win in the NEF hexagon.

“I am extremely excited to step back into the NEF cage. It has been far too long. Covid has been rough on us all in a variety of ways, but if there is a silver lining, it’s that it gave me a ton of time to work on my deficits. When I first started fighting for NEF, I was only nine months into my training, and I was a fish out of water on the ground. Each fight gave me a lot to reflect on and gave me a full picture of what needed to change. Covid may have stopped a lot of things in our country, but it didn’t stop me from training and growing as a fighter.

“My weaknesses have become new passions and strengths for me. Losing and identifying faults doesn’t break me down. It excites me. Nothing is more rewarding than improving yourself. Have no doubt, I have done just that.

“After all the time off, I made the decision to jump up a weight class. I have been working hard to put on weight the right way over the last year and a half and have come leaps and bounds in my confidence and technique on the feet, the cage and the ground. I am a far more well-rounded and skilled fighter. I look forward to showing off that work.

“Jon Assam is a veteran in the NEF cage and he always goes to war. I am excited to share the cage with him and I know the fans won’t be disappointed. I took this fight because I knew it would push me to my limits and that’s how exciting fights are made. I don’t take fights looking for an easy win to pad my record. I’m here to push and challenge myself. My past three opponents have a combined record of 12-4. Expect nothing less than a battle in that cage.”

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance ”acontece no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. As portas abrem às 6 pm com primeira luta às 7 PM. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.Ticketmaster.com.

MURRAY VS FAULKNER SET TO CLASH FOR WELTERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Novembro 23, 2021) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna com seu próximo MMA (MMA) evento, "NEF 46: Década de Domínio," no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. A principal promoção regional lançada em fevereiro 11, 2012. Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur championship bout to the fight card. Former NEF Lightweight Contender“Magic” Mike Murray(3-2) is scheduled to move up in weight to faceZach Faulkner (4-1) for the currently vacant NEF Welterweight Championship at a fight weight of 170 libras. The Championship was recently vacated when former title holder Mike Bezanson (5-0) publicly stated that he will be turning professional in his next bout.

Mike Murray has dazzled fans since he made his NEF debut in June 2019. After rattling off impressive back-to-back first-round rear-naked-choke submission victories in his first two fights, Murray faced off against Zac Richard (1-0) for the then vacant NEF Lightweight Championship. After a lively five-round fight, Murray lost a decision to Richard. Murray rebounded with a win in Florida. Murray recently retired from a successful service career in the US Marine Corps.

“I’m extremely grateful and excited to be back after two years outside of the cage, and to be given the opportunity to fight for the 170-pound title against an absolutely game opponent,” Murray stated. “I personally feel like we are each other’s best match up after seeing his striking and jiu jitsu in his last fight. I’ve been two years out of the cage, but not two years out of the fight. This past summer alone, I went undefeated in Muay Thai, e teve 15 jiu jitsu matches, and placed increasingly higher in each tournament. My prediction for this fight is that it’ll be the most entertaining amateur fight on this card – if not this year. I’ve been putting in the work to be the most lethal version of myself, and I believe this is the best I’ve ever been coming into a fight. There’s no animosity going into this one, this is purely two dogs getting locked in a cage. I’m so thrilled to be a part of this incredibly special 10-year anniversary card. This will for sure be a night to remember.”

Zach Faulkner made his triumphant NEF debut in 2017 em “NEF 30: Rumble in Bangor” and has remained perfect inside the NEF hexagon ever since. He most recently won a unanimous decision victory over Curtis Ouellette (1-3) last August at “NEF 44” in New Hampshire. He trains with Jon Deupree (1-0) at Recon Fitness in Westbrook, Maine.

“I’m super excited to not only have the opportunity to fight for the NEF welterweight title, but also to be able to fight on such a big card against a tough, game opponent,” Faulkner stated. “Winning would mean a lot to me because it would show that my fight journey is moving in the right direction and show that I’m ready to start to think about moving up to the next level.”

"NEF 46: Decade of Dominance ”acontece no sábado, Fevereiro 12, 2022, na Aura em Portland, Maine. O evento vai comemorar o aniversário de dez anos do NEF. As portas abrem às 6 pm com primeira luta às 7 PM. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.Ticketmaster.com.

NEF RETURNS TO MAINE WITH STACKED FIGHT CARD FEATURING FOUR TITLE FIGHTS

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Outubro 22, 2021) – When the bell rings at 7 pm EST to start the show on Friday, Novembro 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.

Hoje cedo, 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.

No evento principal da noite, Josh “Hook On” Harvey(7-1-1) will defend the NEF Professional Featherweight Title against the challenge ofAguilando Brandao(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)assumirNick 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.

Zac "Rocky" Richard (0-0) fará sua estréia profissional contraCarl Langston(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 Ewer(3-3) batalhasShaun Ray (2-1) na divisão do meio-médio.

The amateur portion of the fight card will be headlined by three title fights: Caleb Austin(5-0) rostosTyler Smythe (2-1) for the vacant flyweight belt; Felipe Günter(3-0) is scheduled to square off withTeddy Politis (2-0) for the vacant bantamweight championship; eNathaniel Grimard(4-0) will defend his newly-won featherweight strap againstBilly Wilson(6-1).

The sole women’s fight of the evening will also take place on the amateur card asBJ Garceau(1-1) meets the debutingHayley 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,"Disse o co-proprietário NEF e matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “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!"

THE MULE TRAIN ROLLS INTO MERRILL AUDITORIUM IN PORTLAND ON FEBRUARY 8

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Dezembro 20, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) realizará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland. Hoje mais cedo, NEF announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card.Nate “The Mule” White(4-0) vai se reunirBrian Cosco (5-8) com um peso de luta de 158 libras.

2019 could very well be termed the “Year of the Mule” in hindsight. The MAGA-hat-wearing Nate White was a perfect 4-0 this past year, finishing all four of his opponents decisively. White has become known for stepping in at the last minute to save fights. In September, on just a few days’ notice, White took a fight with Ryan Savage (0-2).  Just hours before that fight, White was tased and pepper-sprayed as part of his National Guard training. He would go on to defeat Savage that evening. Last month, White was victorious over Austin Hamilton (0-1) at “NEF 41.” During his post-fight interview, White famously uttered the phrase “(Jeffrey) Epstein didn’t kill himself” before walking away from the microphone. White represents Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) de Lewiston, Maine. He is a nominee for “Rookie of the Year” in NEF for 2019.

“Brian comes into this bout with a lot of fight maturity and with a lot of maturity period—the dude is literally more than double my age,” said White.  “He’s got the edge in experience, but I’ve got the good looks on my side in this one. The Mule Train doesn’t slow down for anyone—especially not for Brian Cosco. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but he’s going to find out what hardworking, unskilled labor feels like on February 8th. God Bless the USA, and God Bless our President to reelection in 2020, the Honorable Donald J. Trump.”

Brian Cosco is a longtime veteran of the New England cage wars having begun his amateur career in 2011. Like White, he is undefeated in the NEF cage. Cosco defeated Garry Carr (2-1) by doctor stoppage last April at “NEF 38.” He returned at “NEF 41” in November to submit Clifford Redman (0-11) in the first round. Cosco’s Von Flue choke on Redman is a nominee for “Submission of the Year” in the NEF 2019 Year-End Awards. He currently represents Redline Fight Sports based in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“I’m excited to come back up to Maine and fight for NEF again where I’ll be fighting a hometown guy with an undefeated record—and that provides some extra motivation for me,” said Cosco.  “Nate’s young and has the potential to do big things in MMA, but timing is everything in the fight game and this is just a bad time to fight me. 2020 is going to be my year and it starts February 8th.”

Lutas da Nova Inglaterra’ próximo evento de artes marciais mistas, “NEF 42: Sinfonia de destruição,” acontecerá no sábado, Fevereiro 8, 2020, no Merrill Auditorium em Portland, Maine. Os ingressos já estão à venda emwww.PortTix.com.

NEF 38 SELLS-OUT IN RECORD TIME; SIXTH STRAIGHT SELLOUT FOR MAINE-BASED FIGHT PROMOTION

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Abril 22, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) apresentará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” this April 27, 2019 at Aura in Portland. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced that tickets for the event were officially sold-out.

The sellout comes a full five days prior to the event, marking a new record for the fight promotion. The previous record holder, “NEF 37,” sold out three days before that event earlier this year. This marks the sixth straight sellout for NEF, a streak stretching back to April 2018.

“The NEF brand is stronger than ever and continues to grow,” remarked NEF promoter and co-owner Nick DiSalvo. “It’s a time where we’re seeing competitors falter around us with half-empty venues and weak fight cards. But not NEF. We have been the trendsetter for the way in which we promote our fighters ever since we arrived on the scene in 2012. And it shows in the numbers we have done, and continue to do, at the box office.”

“We have competitors flying in from all over the country for ‘Stomborn,'” disse NEF co-proprietário e matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “With four title fights, three women’s fights, decorated wrestlers and all colors of the BJJ belt spectrum represented, it’s no wonder this show sold out early. We’ve got a couple of surprises in store for fans on Saturday too. It’s never hyperbole when we tell people to get their tickets early. If you were sleeping and missed out on this one, don’t wait on getting your tickets early for June 22nd when we go back to the Colisee to celebrate all things America. Os ingressos estarão à venda amanhã!"

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” will take place this Saturday, Abril 27, 2019 na Aura em Portland, Maine com hora do sino de 7 pm. Tickets to the event are officially sold-out.

Deixe um comentário

PARA DIVULGAÇÃO IMEDIATA: Portland, Maine (Março 28, 2019) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) apresentará suas próximas artes marciais mistas (MMA) evento, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” em abril 27, 2019 na Aura em Portland. Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur catchweight bout to the card. Garry Carr (1-0) will return to the cage to take on Brian Cosco (3-7) at a fight weight of 158-pounds.

Garry Carr made his debut in the NEF cage at “NEF 31” in the fall of 2017. That night, he submitted David Hart in the first round to pick up the win. In doing so, Carr became the oldest athlete ever to emerge victorious in the NEF cage at the age of 56. He will look to break his own record on April 27 quando, com a idade de 57, he returns for his sophomore effort. Carr is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) based out of Lewiston, Maine.

“Very proud to announce my return to the NEF cage on April 27th at Aura in Portland’s Old Port district,” said Carr. “It’s been over a year since my MMA debut and I have great memories there. I will be fighting out of team Central Maine BJJ who have prepared me for this match. I’m looking to show the skills I have learned to the crowd and hope that they will cheer me on to victory. Let’s fill the house and make it a night to remember.”

Brian Cosco may be a newcomer to the NEF cage, but he is a longtime veteran of the New England MMA scene. The Revere, Massachusetts native has competed on the regional circuit since 2011 and has ten previous cage appearances to his credit. He will look to get back on the winning track after a loss last summer on a fight card in New Hampshire. Cosco currently represents Sityodtong and Brazil 021 of Somerville and Medford, Massachusetts respectively.

“I’m excited to come up to Maine and fight for NEF,” exclaimed Cosco. “I’m feeling good. I’m not injured going into a fight for the first time in a while. I plan on going in there and getting the finish. I want to win convincingly so the NEF fans will want to see me back in there. I’m going to give the fans their money’s worth. I can’t wait for that cage door to shut!”
