Портланд, Мејн (Фебруар 9, 2018) - Нев Енгланд Фигхтс (НЕФ) године враћа се у Ауру у ПортландуАприл 14, 2018 са следећом мешовитим борилачким вештинама-догађају Фигхт Промотион је, “НЕФ 33: Риптиде.” Раније данас, НЕФ је најавио додавање професионалне борбе у лакој категорији. Bill Jones (12-10) је требало да се састане Матт Деннинг (5-7) на тежини борби 155 фунти.
Having begun competing in MMA back in 2007, Bill Jones is one of the longest-active fighters on the New England regional scene. His list of opponents over the years reads like a “ко је ко” of local featherweights and lightweights. He holds wins over some of the best the region has to offer like UFC veteran Tateki Matsuda (13-8) and current UFC competitor Matt Bessette (22-8). Недавно, Jones competed on the national stage at World Series of Fighting (ВСОФ) 35 last spring in New York. Jones is currently a member of Nostos MMA based in Somersworth, Нев Хампсхире. “НЕФ 33″ will be Jones’ long-awaited first appearance in the NEF cage.
“I’m excited to finally make my NEF debut and face Matt Denning, a fight I’ve been looking forward to for a long time,” said Jones. “My health is at a new level since I stopped smoking. I feel refreshed and ready to put on my best performance to date against an opponent that I’m looking to dismantle in impressive fashion. Everyone knows not to sleep on me. I made my mark in the regional scene a long time age – и April 14th will be the next chapter in that story. Let’s get after it!"
Including his amateur career, Матт “Кен Лутка” Denning is a fifteen-fight veteran of the NEF cage. He is on a two-fight win-streak in that cage with first-round submission victories over Josh Parker (6-10) у “NEF 28” and Dom Jones (1-1) у “NEF 29.” Like Jones, Denning is a veteran of the WSOF cage, having competed for the national promotion at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Недавно, Denning fought for national promotion Bellator in Connecticut. He is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (ЦМБЈЈ) based in Lewiston, Мејн.
“I’m excited to fight for NEF again,” рекао је Деннинг. “The last two times I fought for them, I had first round submission wins. Bill is a veteran and someone that I’ve tried to fight for a while. После ове борбе, I don’t expect to be as active as I have been in the past. I want to focus on my job, Hollie and Becca. I look forward to a great showing and seeing all my fans.”
