Джон “Первый класс” Рей (2-8) встретится Зенон “К-бар” Эррера (0-5) в промежуточном весе 150 фунтов.
For John Raio, the bout will mark his return to the cage after more than two years. Raio retired following his rematch with Bruce Boyington (13-11) в июне 2015. He has decided to make one more run at competing. Competition has been in Raio’s blood since his youth. He won a Maine state championship wrestling for Gardiner Area High School in 1995, and he went on to wrestle for Plymouth State University and the University of Southern Maine. While working for the United States Postal Service, Raio began competing in MMA in 2012. Since his retirement, Raio has concentrated on training fighters at his gym First Class MMA in Brunswick, Мэн. He has led several to championship gold in the NEF cage while working full-time at his current position with Bath Iron Works (BIW).
“I’m excited to get back into the cage,” Саид Ray. “Two years is a long time after fighting 14 раз в течение трех лет. I’ve learned a lot about the sport in that time. Our team’s success has motivated me a lot. We have amazing fighters and instructors at our gym. The opportunity to fight in Portland, where I delivered mail for eight years, was too hard to pass up.”
Zenon Herrera last competed in the NEF cage in August 2016. He has split his professional career between boxing and MMA. Herrera военный ветеран, отслужив четыре года в армии Соединенных Штатов и пять лет в Корпусе морской пехоты США. На 3 ноября, Herrera will look to score his first win since his amateur days on the Florida MMA circuit.
“It’s been a long time since last in the NEF cage for both myself and John Raio,” Саид Эррера. “This will be a great way for both of us to make a return, and I’m very much looking forward to going in with such a well classed person. John and I are both the type who will come forward and never back down. I really think this is going to be a great match that will be enjoyed by all involved.”
