路易斯頓, 緬因 (五月 8, 2015) - 新英格蘭戰鬥 (NEF), 美國的頭號地區拼促銷, 將舉行第十八屆混合武術 (MMA) 事件, “第十八NEF: 美國製造,” 上 星期六, 六月 13, 2015 在安德羅斯科銀行Colisée酒店在路易斯頓, 緬因. 今天早些時候，, the promotion announced the addition of a professional lightweight bout to the fight card. 傑西 “海盜” 埃里克森 (4-4) 將舉行 澤農·埃雷拉 (0-0) in what will be Herrera’s professional debut.
Erickson is a mainstay of the NEF promotion. The native of Auburn, Maine made his amateur debut at NEF I in February 2012. All fourteen of his bouts have been hosted in the NEF cage except one which was part of an NEF co-promotion with Bellator.
Currently a coach at Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (CMBJJ) – a New England United (NEW) 子公司 – Erickson challenged unsuccessfully twice last fall for the NEF MMA Lightweight Title, dropping back-to-back losses to Bruce Boyington (10-8). 上個月, Erickson returned to the cage against Florida’s Mark DeFord (0-4). The Viking came out aggressive, not letting up with a barrage of lefts, rights and knees. It was a departure from Erickson’s trusted ground game, but it took less than two minutes for him to knock DeFord out cold. If Erickson was looking to make a statement, then that statement was received loud and clear by the raucous crowd of over 2,000.
“After back to back losses, I’ve really focused in on some of my weak points,” said Erickson. “在我的最後一戰, I felt much more confident and relaxed, and I think it showed in my performance. I will continue to get better and show everyone the fighter I’ve always known I could be. I’ll never fight safe, try to eke out a decision, or have a boring fight. Come watch me fight and see something special. The Viking is back and he’s swinging Thor’s hammer now.”
澤農·埃雷拉, an independent fighter based out of Skowhegan, 緬因, began his MMA amateur career in the fall of 2012. Having fought predominantly in Florida previously, he made his NEF debut last month at “第十七NEF” in a losing effort to a very tough Ricky Dexter (3-0). Herrera is a military veteran, having served four years in the United States Army and five years in the United States Marine Corps. He looks forward to making the transition from the amateur to professional ranks and the new challenges it will bring.
“I’m very much looking forward to this chance of taking myself to the next level of MMA,” 埃雷拉說. “Jesse Erickson is a tough dude and that will make this match all the better. I’m also looking forward to representing the NEF, Macho Fighter, Combatives Gear, and the USMC with all of the pride and honor that they deserve with everything I do in MMA from this point forward.”
