Portland, Mejn (Ožujak 8, 2019) – New England Borbe (NEF) predstavit će svoje sljedeće miješane borilačke vještine (MMA) događaj, “NEF 38: STORMBORN,” travnja 27, 2019 u Auri u Portlandu. Ranije danas, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur women’s bout to the card. Taylor “T-Storm” Thompson (3-0) održat će se na Andrea “Renegade” Howland (2-0) to crown the first-ever NEF Women’s Bantamweight Champion. It will be the first women’s title fight for the promotion since Hilarie Rose captured the vacant strawweight title at “NEF 31” u studenom 2017.

“We hear it from fans constantly–they can’t get enough of the female fighters,” said NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson.  “April 27th we’ve stacked the card with top-tier talent to give the fans exactly what they’ve been asking for. Howland and Thompson are two undefeated competitors with their sights set squarely on turning pro and eventually breaking into the UFC. On April 27th, one of them will leave the cage with their perfect record broken and one will leave with the first ever NEF Women’s Bantamweight Championship. Special thanks to Tommy Vickers fromQueen MMA Media for his assistance in making this bout happen.”

Taylor Thompson made her NEF debut last November at “NEF 36” in a winning effort against Catie Denning. Prior to that time, Thompson had won two fights in Massachusetts, both by finish. She represents BST MMA & Fitness sa sjedištem u Mendonu, Massachusetts.

“I am honored to have the opportunity to fight for NEF’s first ever women’s amateur bantamweight title,” said Thompson, “especially when I will be sharing the cage with a very talented opponent, Andrea Howland. I know I am going to love this fight, and I think the fans will too.”

Andrea Howland will bring her undefeated record to the East Coast for the first time in her amateur career. She made her cage debut in the spring of 2018 and has won both of her previous bouts by decision. Howland is currently a member of Michigan Top Team based in Southfield, Michigan.

“I am beyond excited at the opportunity to pursue a bantamweight title in my third MMA appearance,” exclaimed Howland. “Myself and my team are being flown out to the beautiful state of Maine at an incredible time of the year to get ourselves into a dog fight for a championship strap! What more could you ask for? I am making memories with my team and pursuing my dream of being a competitive athlete. I respect my opponent, Taylor Thompson, for her aggressiveness and her dedication to her career. I expect us to have a brawl of epic proportions, and it’s an honor to share the cage with her as a fellow amateur bantamweight prospect. April 27th can’t come soon enough! This is what I signed up for!”

Portland, Mejn (Rujan 10, 2018) - New England Borbe (NEF) održat će posljednju priredbu mješovitih borilačkih vještina u 2018, “NEF 36: Bitka za zlato,” u subotu, Studeni 17 u Auri u Portlandu, Mejn. Ranije danas, promocija borbe najavila je prvu borbu zakazanu za taj događaj. Catie Denning (1-0) održat će se na Taylor Thompson (2-0) u amaterskom ženskom nadmetanju.

Catie Denning debitirala je u amaterskom MMA-u prošlog veljače u “NEF 32” u Lewiston, Mejn. Dominirala je Chelsea Tuckerom (0-3) tri kruga na putu do jednoglasne pobjede sudaca’ bodovima. Denning je član Young-ovog MMA-a sa sjedištem u Bangoru, Maine gdje će još jednom trenirati za svoj napad na kavez druge godine.

“Uzbuđena sam što se vraćam u kavez,” rekao Dcnning. “Prošlo je daleko predugo i gladniji sam nego ikad. Potpuno razumijem da pojačavam snage protiv tvrdog protivnika, ali spreman sam za izazov i nadam se da mogu pokazati sav svoj naporan rad od svog amaterskog debija još u veljači.”

Denningov protivnik, Taylor Thompson, debitirat će u NEF-u u studenom 17, ali joj nije strana MMA scena u Novoj Engleskoj. Thompson je neporažena u dvije borbe ispod pojasa u Massachusettsu. Obje pobjede došle su zaustavljanjem, uključujući i prijavu Tiffany McCoy u prvom krugu (2-2) prošlog siječnja. Thompson trenira s BST MMA & Fitness sa sjedištem u Mendonu, Massachusetts.

“Jako sam uzbuđena što se u studenom mogu boriti protiv Catie Denning iz Young-ovog MMA-a 17 at the beautiful Aura arena in Portland, Mejn,” said Thompson when reached for comment. “She trains with tough people at a well-respected gym, and I am so grateful that she and I will have the opportunity to throw down for the fantastic fight fans of Maine. I have wanted to fight for NEF ever since I met Coach Eddie (Benjamin) and his team at Titan Athletics in Bangor and heard about the amazing fight scene that exists in Maine. I can’t wait to be a part of it.”
