Portland, Maine (Agost 31, 2017) Lluites -Nova Anglaterra (NEF) farà el seu esperat debut a PortlandDivendres, Novembre 3, 2017 a Aura amb “NEF 31: El Port Vell.” El dia d'avui, la promoció de lluita va anunciar l'addició d'un combat amateur d'arts marcials mixtes a la carta. Carlton Charles (1-0) s'enfrontarà a Nate Evans (0-0) at a catchweight of 175-pounds.
Carlton Charles shocked the Maine MMA community earlier this month with his stunning first-round technical knockout of Josh Jones (2-1) a “NEF 30” a Bangor. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. Al seu torn, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Era, en efecte, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.
Charles’ athleticism comes as no surprise, però, to those who know him. He excelled in football for Windham High School. As an assistant coach, Charles later lead Windham to a Class A state championship. He went on to play for the NCAA Division I University of Maine Black Bears. Actualment, Charles trains MMA with Charles Family Fighting alongside his older brother, and seven-fight NEF veteran, Nate Charles.
“I’m real excited about the opportunity to fight in Portland,” va dir en Charles. “Not often have we seen MMA in Portland, so it’s definitely going to get a lot of attention. It’s a bit closer to home than Bangor was, so I feel like I’ll have a lot of support there. I hope to put on a good show and look to build on the success of my first fight. I know my opponent will be tough so I am training hard to be prepared.”
Nate Evans will be making his debut on 3 de novembre. Like Charles, Evans’ background is in football. He was a star quarterback for Sumter Central High School in Livingston, Alabama. Also like Charles, Evans has begun training and combat sports and is hoping to make a successful transition from the gridiron to the MMA cage.
