Portland, Maine (Agosto 31, 2017) Fights -Nova Inglaterra (NEF) fará sua tão esperada estreia em Portland emSexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017 na Aura com “NEF 31: O Porto Velho.” Hoje cedo, a promoção da luta anunciou a adição de uma luta amador de artes marciais mistas ao card. Carlton Charles (1-0) vai assumir 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) em “NEF 30” em Bangor. Jones had looked indestructible to that point, only needing 24-seconds to finish his first two opponents combined. Por sua vez, it took Charles only 23-seconds to polish off Jones in his amateur debut. Era, de fato, one of the most impressive debuts in NEF history.
Charles’ athleticism comes as no surprise, contudo, 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. Atualmente, 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,” disse 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 novembro. 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.
próximo evento misto de artes marciais do NEF, “NEF 31: O porto antigo,” verá a estreia da empresa em Portland, Maine no novo, espaço moderno Aura. O evento está programado para acontecer em Sexta-feira, Novembro 3, 2017. Os ingressos já estão à venda em www.auramaine.com.
