Deixe um comentário

Lewiston, Maine (Dezembro 29, 2017) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) retorna para Lewiston em Sábado, Fevereiro 3, 2018 com o próximo evento misto de artes marciais da promoção luta, “NEF 32: Super Sábado.” Hoje cedo, NEF announced the addition of a professional catchweight bout to the card. Bruce “Pretty Boy” Boyington (14-11) assinou a cara Taylor Trahan (7-8) com um peso de luta de 150 quilos.

The fight will be the first for Boyington in the NEF cage since February 2016 when he successfully defended the NEF Lightweight Title against Jon Lemke (7-8). It was Boyington’s third defense of the belt since winning it in the late summer of 2014. After the Lemke defense, Boyington relinquished the championship in order to sign with the World Series of Fighting (WSOF).

While he has fought on many of the largest stages in the world over the past two years, including Madison Square Garden in New York City and halfway across the globe in Russia, Boyington is looking forward to his homecoming and the opportunity to once again fight before his many Maine fans.

“Cara, I couldn’t possibly be more excited to get inside the NEF cage, where I have molded my career, built my fan base and learned so much about myself over the years,” Disse Boyington. “I am so hungry to entertain people that I can guarantee everyone will want to see what’s going down! I live for this, e na 3 de fevereiro, there will be some of the best MMA that has ever been on display from the State of Maine, and I’m grateful and humbled by the opportunity. My opponent is a respectable guy that I believe loves to fight and I want that in there. I wish him the very best in preparation, and I thank (NEF owners) Matt (Peterson) e Nick (DiSalvo) once again for providing me a platform.”

Boyington currently owns and operates Boyington’s Taekwondo of Bangor, Maine. He also trains with Young’s MMA in the same city.

Taylor Trahan is a familiar face to NEF fans. He has competed twice for the promotion in the past. Trahan submitted Matt Denning (5-7) in the first round of their meeting at “NEF 25.” He returned to Maine just weeks later at “NEF 26” in a losing effort to Aaron Lacey (4-1). Trahan is coming off a win over Conor Barry (3-2) last month in New Hampshire. He represents Team Link of Hooksett.

“I’m looking forward to returning to NEF,” said Trahan. “They always put on a good show and treat the fighters right. I’m really looking forward to fighting Bruce. He definitely is the most experienced fighter I’ll be going up against so far.”

próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 32: Super Sábado,” vai ver a empresa fazer o seu retorno ao Colisee Androscoggin Bank em Lewiston, Maine. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sábado, Fevereiro 3, 2018. Os ingressos já estão à venda online em www.TheColisee.com.
