Portland, Maine (Febrer 7, 2018) - Lluites de Nova Anglaterra (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland onAbril 14, 2018 amb el següent esdeveniment mixt d'arts marcials de la promoció lluita, “NEF 33: Riptide.” El dia d'avui, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the card. Taylor Costantino (3-3) es reunirà Shawn llarg (4-0) for the vacant 145-pound championship.
Taylor Costantino is a native of Long Island, New York where he began his MMA career in 2011 after being crowned a USA and Pan American Sambo champion. After moving to Maine, Costantino continued training and made his NEF debut in early 2016 with a 25-second TKO victory over Frank Johanson (2-2). Actualment, he is a member of Evolution Athletix based in Saco.
“I’m very excited to fight in Portland against a tough opponent,” said Costantino. “I’ve never taken an easy opponent, and this fight is no different. I have a lot to prove to my coaches, my teammates and myself – and a man with something to prove is a dangerous man.”
Undefeated Shawn Lunghi has been dominant in two previous NEF cage appearances. The Florida native first traveled north in the fall of 2016, scoring a second round submission of Alex Clark (4-2). Last weekend, Lunghi returned to take on Devin Corson (1-1). It took just over a minute for Lunghi to pull out another submission win on Maine soil. He will have little time to rest after the upcoming battle at “NEF 33.” In late April, Lunghi will leave for Fort Bliss, and from there will travel to Afghanistan in May as part of his service in the Army National Guard.
“I couldn’t be more excited to return to the NEF cage for NEF 33 and take a shot at the featherweight title,” va dir Long. “Taylor is an experienced, game opponent and I expect he will be ready for a war. This will be my last fight for awhile as I will be deploying with the Army National Guard for the next year, but I can’t think of a better send off then to win the 145-pound title and celebrate with my RMNU team in Portland, Maine.”
NEF returns to Portland, Maine, at Aura on Dissabte, Abril 14, 2018. Les butlletes estan a la venda a www.AuraMaine.com. For more information on the event, si us plau visiti www.NewEnglandFights.com.
