ЗА ОБЈАВЉИВАЊЕ ОДМАХ: Левистон, Мејн (Мај 17, 2019) - Нев Енгланд Фигхтс (НЕФ) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Saturday, Јун 22 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “НЕФ 39: ALL-AMERICAN.” Раније данас, the fight promotion announced the addition of a women’s amateur title fight to the card. Глори Ватсон (4-0) Планирано је да се суочи Царее Хилл (4-1) for the vacant NEF Women’s Amateur Flyweight Title. The bout will be presented by NEF in conjunction with Queen MMA Media.
Undefeated Glory Watson will look to continue her winning ways in the NEF cage and, на тај начин, make history as the promotion’s first women’s 125-pound titleholder. In 2018, she was the runner up for “Роокие оф тхе Иеар” as voted by NEF fans. Earlier this year, Watson submitted a very tough Rachael Lippert (4-3) у “NEF 37.” She followed up that performance with a unanimous decision victory this spring on a fight card in Massachusetts. Watson represents Young’s MMA based in Bangor, Мејн.
“I am looking forward to stepping up and attempting to earn the 125 наслов,” said Watson. “Caree Hill is a good opponent, and will present a new set of challenges for me as a fighter. Ова борба, победили или изгубили, will test my skill and my heart. My time in the amateur ranks may be limited, so I plan to work my way to the top.”
Caree Hill will make the 3,000 mile journey across country from Portland, Oregon to face Watson for the strap. After winning her first three amateur fights, Hill took some time off from the cage following her first loss in 2017. She returned late in 2018 with a unanimous decision victory in her most recent bout. Hill holds a win in the cage of national promotion Legacy FC. She represents Team Quest which was founded by MMA pioneers and UFC legends Randy Couture (19-11) и Дан Хендерсон (32-15). Hill is in good company with Team Quest. The West Coast-based team has produced many of the top names in the sport over the years, including Chael Sonnen (30-16), Нате Куарри (12-4), и покојни Еван Таннер (32-8) само да поменемо само неке.
“I’m honored for the opportunity to fight for the flyweight championship for New England Fights,” remarked Hill when reached for comment. “I relish the challenge of fighting an undefeated fighter in her own backyard. I never back down from a challenge. This is guaranteed to be an exciting fight.”
The title fight between Watson and Hill joins two other championship contests already announced for the “NEF 39” card. Josh “Hook On” Харвеи (6-0-1) is scheduled to defend the professional featherweight title against Jordan Downey (5-4), while Nate Boucher (4-3) will square off with Robert Presley (5-4) for the vacant amateur men’s flyweight belt. Also announced for the card, Џеси “Викинг” Ериксон (9-7) faces Lewis Corapi (8-5) in a professional lightweight bout.
