Lewiston, Maine (Januari 4, 2018) - New England Fights (NEF) keert terug naar Lewiston opZaterdag, Februari 3, 2018 met de strijd promotie's volgende mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 32: Super Zaterdag.” Eerder vandaag, NEF announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the card. Aaron “Meedogenloos” Lacey (4-1) heeft om het gezicht getekend Josh Parker (6-9) bij een gevecht gewicht van 145-pond.
After making his professional debut in the spring of 2016, Aaron Lacey rose quickly through the ranks of the NEF featherweight division. With wins over veterans like Derek Shorey (4-9) and Taylor Trahan (8-9), the year belonged to Lacey. 2017, echter, was filled with frustration. Lacey lost two scheduled opponents to injuries and had to pull out of one fight with an injury of his own. Late in the year, he took a fight in New Hampshire against Vovka Clay (8-2). Many felt Lacey was winning a close fight, but a deep cut on his head forced the doctor to stop the fight in the second round and the bout was awarded to Clay. It was the first loss of Lacey’s professional career. The product of Young’s MMA is looking to rebound from that loss and get back on track towards the major leagues of the sport beginning with “NEF 32.”
“I’m excited to be returning to the NEF cage,” riep Lacey. “Last year was not my year, but it’s over and I’m looking to start 2018 off with a bang! This fight is going to be fun and I love that I get to come home and perform in front of the NEF fans! The best ones around! I’m coming in prepared and looking for the finish!"
Josh Parker has been a mainstay of both the NEF MMA cage and boxing ring since his debut with the promotion back at “NEF I” in februari 2012. Since turning his focus back to MMA from boxing in late 2016, Parker has had two solid victories in Lewiston. Bij “NEF 26” in november 2016, Parker submitted Derek Shorey. Vorige zomer, bij “NEF 29,” Parker was again successful, this time taking a unanimous decision victory over Andre Belcarris (0-2). He will look to make it back-to-back wins for the first time in his career since 2011 when he steps into the cage against Lacey. Parker is the head of Ruthless MMA & Boxing based in Benton, Maine.
“I want to thank NEF for the opportunity, and thank Aaron for taking the fight,” Said Parker. “Ik ben enthousiast voor de strijd. I missed out on the last show, so I’m itching to get back in there . Aaron has had an awesome career so far, and I’m looking forward to the challenges he presents, but I think I match-up well against him. Niet te missen – it’s gonna be one to remember.”
