Portland, Maine (Februar 7, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland onApril 14, 2018 med kampen promotering neste mixed-kampsport-arrangement, “NEF 33: Riptide.” Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight title bout to the card. Taylor Costantino (3-3) vil møte Shawn Long (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). Foreløpig, 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,” sa 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 Lørdag, April 14, 2018. Billetter er i salg nå på www.AuraMaine.com. For more information on the event, vennligst besøk www.NewEnglandFights.com.

Lewiston, Maine (Januar 5, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) returnerer til Lewiston på Lørdag, Februar 3, 2018 med kampen promotering neste mixed-kampsport-arrangement, “NEF 32: Super Lørdag.” Tidligere i dag, NEF announced the addition of an amateur featherweight bout to the card. Shawn Long (2-0) vil komme tilbake til Maine å ta på Devin Corson (1-0) på en kamp vekt på 145-pounds.

Shawn Lunghi made his debut in the NEF cage in the fall of 2016. He faced off with a much more experienced Alex Clark (4-2) that evening and impressed many with his performance. Lunghi would pick up the win with a second round submission. Tampa, Florida native would follow up that win with yet another victory this past spring in his home state. Later in the year, Han fikk sin brunt belte i brasiliansk Jiu-Jitsu på Robson Moura Nations forente (RMNU). Ved “NEF 32,” Lunghi vil se til å hevne et tap påført lagkameraten Winston Cortez (0-1) mot Devin Corson (1-0) ved “NEF 27” i fjor. I tillegg, en seier over Corson ville sette Lunghi i en posisjon til å utfordre for NEF MMA Amateur Fjær Tittel på et senere tidspunkt.

“Jeg er utrolig ydmyk og glad for å bli invitert tilbake til Lewiston å kjempe for NEF,” sa Long. “03.02 står som en stor test for meg og mine forberedelser som en martial artist, samt en mulighet til å kjempe en stor up-and-coming fighter som Devin. Jeg er ivrig for muligheten til å vise frem forbedringene jeg har gjort i mitt spill, samt å hevne Winston tap til Devin.”

Devin Corson gjorde sin NEF debut i tidlig 2017 at the young age of 19. He sent the crowd into a frenzy that night, repeatedly lifting Winston Cortez up over head and slamming him time and time again on his way to a unanimous decision victory. It was one of the most memorable debuts for any fighter in the NEF cage. Corson is a product of The Outlet Mixed Martial Arts Training Center based in Dexter, Maine.

“Det er en ære å være tilbake til NEF buret,” uttalte Corson. “Jeg ser frem til å kjempe en mann som har sitt brunt belte i jiu-jitsu. Jeg er alltid opp for en utfordring. Jeg er bare glad for å være tilbake.”

NEF neste mixed-kampsport-arrangement, “NEF 32: Super Lørdag,” vil se selskapet gjøre sin retur til Androscoggin Bank Colisee i Lewiston, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place on Lørdag, Februar 3, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online atwww.TheColisee.com.
