פֿאַר באַלדיק מעלדונג: Orono, מיין (פעברואַר 27, 2020) - ניו ענגלאַנד פייץ (נעף) will present its next mixed-martial-arts (ממאַ) event at the Collins Center for the Arts on the University of Maine’s flagship Orono campus. The event, titled “NEF 43: ראַמפּאַגע,” will take place on Saturday, אַפּריל 18, 2020, with a bell-time of 7 pm EDT. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur flyweight bout to the card.דאַסטין וועינאָטט(5-4) וועט נעמען אויףSteve Desjardins(5-4) at a fight weight of 125 pounds. The bout will be a rematch of their previous encounter in February 2014 won by Desjardins via unanimous decision.

Dustin Veinott will be returning to the NEF cage for the first time since the spring of 2016 when he defeated Ryan Burgess (3-2) by second-round submission. He is the former NEF Amateur Flyweight Chamion, a belt he won over Norman Fox (איצט 0-1 ווי אַ פאַכמאַן) at “NEF 18” in 2015. Veinott has spent the last several years training fighters as the Muay Thai coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (קמבדזשדזש) אין לעוויסטאָן, Maine. He is looking forward to the opportunity to redeem himself after his first encounter with Desjardins.

“After being gone for almost four years due to unforeseen circumstances, איך בין צוריק,” exclaimed Veinott.  “I respect my opponent, Stephen Desjardins. He has a great wrestling base, and he has already beat me once. I am a different animal now, כאָטש. I am here to pick back up where I left off. I’m back and I’m here to make a statement.”

Steve Desjardins is a longtime veteran of the New England MMA scene with an amateur career stretching back to 2011. He made his triumphant return to NEF last fall in Orono after a five-year hiatus, defeating Dillon Henry (0-4) at “NEF 40.” Desjardins then took on Nate Boucher (איצט 0-1 ווי אַ פאַכמאַן) in a losing effort attempting to capture the amateur flyweight strap at “NEF 41” in November.   Desjardins is currently an independent fighter based out of nearby Brewer, מיין.

“I am thrilled to be fighting again in my backyard and to be putting on a great fight with another tough guy,” said Desjardins.  “Don’t miss it!"
