Lewiston, Maine (Setembro 17, 2015) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF), Número un promoción loita rexional de América, realizará o seu próximo evento, “NEF XX: Unha Historia de Violencia” en Sábado, Novembro 21, 2015 no Colisée Androscoggin Bank en Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – mixed-de artes marciais (MMA) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. As announced this past Sábado noite “NEF XIX,” Porra “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) está programa para defender o NEF MMA Afeccionado Heavyweight Title aquela noite contra o reto de Dave Smith (2-0).
Leahy gañou o título dos pesos pesados afeccionado inaugural “NEF XVIII” en xuño pasado, cando derrotou Smith Berserkers MMA compañeiro de equipo Ryan Glover (2-1) por decisión unánime. Leahy’s decision to take time off from competing rather than to defend the title against number-one contender Smith at “NEF XIX” earlier this week was met with criticism from the Berserkers camp. The heavyweight champion splits time training between Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) en Auburn, Maine e MMA de novo en Bangor, Maine.
“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” preguntou un Leahy enfurecido. “I’ll clean their whole damn gym out one-by-one. They want to come and try to take my belt from me? Good luck, I’ll see you in November.”
Dave Smith fixo a súa estrea no MMA na primavera pasada en “NEF XVII” en Lewiston. That night, el derrotou Sonny Spratt (0-2) por primeira rolda KO técnico (QUEN). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” en xuño. Esta vez, foi Gravin Guillén (2-4) who fell to Smith in the first round by submission. Smith is confident that he will take the heavyweight title from Leahy on Novembro 21 en Lewiston.
“Primeiro, Gustaríame agradecer a todos os implicados en facer esa loita ocorrer,” dixo Smith. “Estou seguro de que non foi fácil chegar Billy para cometer a novembro, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, incluíndo o Sr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Digo directamente Billy–prepare-se e levar o meu cinto.”
