Портланд, Maine (Септември 17, 2018) - New England Битки (NEF) ще проведе своето окончателно събитие от смесени бойни изкуства на 2018, “NEF 36: Битката за златото,” в събота, Ноември 17 в Aura в Портланд, Maine. По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the card. Хенри Кларк (4-4) трябва да се срещне Killian Murphy (1-1) in a battle of top contenders to the promotion’s 135-pound amateur title.
Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. След като се започне аматьорски си кариера в 3-1, Clark would lose his next three in a row. He would bounce back this past June with a first-round submission of Jack Greene (2-6) via D’Arce choke at “34” в Портланд. It was a return to form as Clark had picked up all three of his previous wins by submission – all various forms of chokeholds. He previously challenged for the amateur bantamweight title in early 2016 in a losing effort to Johnny Crafts (4-1).
“I’m hyped about this fight with Killian,” Кларк. “He’s as game as they come, but he is nowhere near ready for me. I’ll smash him up, and then next I’ll take that belt and put it around my waist with my own hands. This is my time to shine.”
Killian Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion. He captured a title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Murphy made his amateur MMA debut earlier this year at “NEF 33” in Portland with a technical knockout of Krishna Scott (0-1). Like Clark, he would also make an unsuccessful bid for the amateur bantamweight title. Murphy lost to current champion Kam Arnold at “34” in a hard-fought battle that will certainly be a contender for “Fight на годината” at the end of 2018. He trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, и настоящ UFC боец, Девин Powell (9-3).
“I’m excited to fight Henry,” каза Мърфи. “Beating Henry gives me another shot at the title – and winning that belt has always been my goal.”
