As announced this past Jumamosi usiku katika “NEF XIX,” Billy “Bigfoot” Leahy (3-1) imepangwa kufanya kutetea NEF MMA Heavyweight Amateur Title jioni dhidi ya changamoto ya Dave Smith (2-0).
Leahy alishinda uzinduzi Amateur Heavyweight cheo katika “NEF XVIII” siku za nyuma mwezi Juni mwaka huu wakati aliwashinda Smith Berserkers MMA mchezaji mwenzake Ryan Glover (2-1) kupitia uamuzi usiojulikana. 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) Auburn, Maine na Young MMA katika Bangor, Maine.
“Berserkers wants to say I’m avoiding fights?” aliuliza hasira Leahy. “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 alifanya yake MMA kwanza spring hii iliyopita katika “NEF XVII” katika Lewiston. Usiku huo, aliwashinda Sonny Spratt (0-2) na ya kwanza ya raundi ya kiufundi mtoano (WHO). He followed up that victory with another win at “NEF XVIII” Juni. Wakati huu, ilikuwa Gravin Guillen (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 Novemba 21 katika Lewiston.
“Kwanza, Napenda kuwashukuru kila mtu kushiriki katika kufanya vita hii kutokea,” ulisema Smith. “Nina hakika haikuwa rahisi kupata Billy kufanya Novemba, he wouldn’t do it for September. I respect anyone who gets in the cage, ikiwa ni pamoja na Mr. Leahy. I really hope he isn’t expecting a win. Nasema moja kwa moja na Billy–kupata tayari na kuleta ukanda yangu.”
