Lewiston, Maine (September 30, 2015) - New England Fights (NEF), Amerika se nommer een plaaslike stryd bevordering, sal sy volgende byeenkoms te hou, “NEF XX: A geskiedenis van geweld” op Saterdag, November 21, 2015 by die Androscoggin Bank Colisée in Lewiston, Maine. The event will feature a first for Maine – gemengde martial arts- (Plaasmoorde) bouts and professional boxing bouts on the same event with an MMA cage and a boxing ring set up side-by-side. Vroeër vandag, the promotion announced the addition of a professional featherweight bout to the MMA portion of the fight card. “Onsplinterbaar 2.0” Derek Shorey (3-2) onderteken tot aangesig die terugkerende Damon “Die Omen” Owens (2-0) op 'n stryd gewig van 145-pond.
Die stigter en hoof-afrigter van die Pitvastheid Combat Club in Dexter, Maine, Derek Shorey has been impressive in his professional career thus far. All three of his wins have come by first-round stoppage, insluitend Shorey se nederlaag van Tollison Lewis (0-5) vroeër hierdie maand, teen die “NEF XIX.” Wen of verloor, Shorey glo nie in die verhuring van gevegte gaan na die regters’ telkaarte. All fifteen of his combined amateur and pro fights have ended by either knockout, tegniese uitklophou (WIE) of voorlegging.
“Ek is dankbaar om deel van hierdie geskiedkundige gebeurtenis wat NEF XX wees,” Said Shorey. “Thank you Matt Peterson and Nick DiSalvo for providing a platform for me to chase this ridiculous dream. Damon is an interesting matchup for me because, stilisties, we are very similar. I’m excited to get in there and mix it up with him and I think the fans will be the biggest winners on this night because they’re in for a hell of a show. Ek het maar net begin om my volle potensiaal te tap en 'n 'W trek’ oor 'n vegter van die beste kamp in Maine, sou 'n baie trotse oomblik vir my.”
Voor beweeg na Colorado van Maine in 2013, Damon Owens was on the verge of becoming a breakout star on the regional MMA scene. Owens put together a pair of solid, back-to-back oorwinnings teen John Raio (2-8) en Josh Parker (4-8). Like Shorey, Owens came into his own after leaving the amateur ranks. Also like Shorey, Owens does not believe in letting the judges decide the outcome of his fights. Only one of his bouts out of seven has gone the distance. Owens is a member of Young’s MMA in Bangor, Maine. Returning home, he has been welcomed back with open arms to his team. Owens has been inactive from competition since moving to Colorado two years ago.
“Die toevoeging van hierdie stryd om so 'n monumentale gebeurtenis soos 'NEF XX’ was 'n no-brainer,” gesê NEF mede-eienaar en promotor Nick DiSalvo. “Derek and Damon have both proven themselves to be big finishers. They match up very well and they’re both incredibly exciting fighters. This fight has a very good shot at stealing the show!”
