The Bangor, Maine native will make his first appearance as a member of Young’s MMA atNEF 28,having previously fought under the banner of Team Irish.

Keenan Raymond is coming to my home turf, and I’m going to show him how tough we are up North,” re Dexter. “I’m new to the pro ranks, but I’ve got the work ethic of a seasoned vet.

Denning is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

 

I’m coming back to NEF to make a statement,” said Denning emphatically. “I’m coming off of a couple of losses in a row and I’m coming to get that win. They think I’m all Jiu Jitsu and can’t take a punch. You want to brawl with me? Let’s stand toe-to-toe. You’re going to try and lay on me like you did in your amateur career? I’m going to welcome Dexter to the pros in a mean way. It’s a new level here and I’m going to come out on top!’

I’m coming from the ‘ammo league,’ but I’ve been training with killers my whole career. I’m going to show everyone I belong here.

Dexter, currently the top-nine-ranked amateur lightweight in New England, is coming off a first-round submission victory over Zenon Herrera (3-6) last Saturday at “NEF XVII.” Dexter has taken the promotion’s lightweight division by storm since debuting last November. He has stopped all three of his opponents in the first round to earn his shot at becoming the first NEF MMA Amateur Lightweight Champion.
