即时发布: 路易斯顿, 缅因 (五月 4, 2017) - 新英格兰战斗 (NEF) 返回安德罗斯科金银行体育馆 星期六, 六月 17, 2017 与格斗促销活动的下一个活动一起, “NEF 29: 星星 & 条纹。” 本次活动将呈现全方位的综合格斗比赛 (MMA) 与职业拳击较量. The professional portion of the card will feature a high-level catchweight bout between 保罗·高曼 (10-9) 和 詹姆斯 “飞翔者’ 夏威夷语” 布莱尔 (5-0) at 130-pounds.
Paul Gorman is a twelve-year veteran of the New England MMA circuit. He captured the NEF Bantamweight Title at “NEF 5.” Gorman would go on to successfully defend that title against Tateki Matsuda (12-8) in a five-round split decision victory that is to this day considered one of the greatest battles to ever take place in the NEF cage. Months later, Matsuda would sign with the UFC. Gorman finally dropped the title in the summer of 2014 to Tim Goodwin (10-6) in a hard-fought, five-round decision loss. He has not competed in the MMA cage since.
Gorman received his black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu from Maine MMA pioneer, and head coach of the Academy of MMA in Portland, 杰杰克. He has spent the last month training on the Indonesian island of Bali at Anthony Leone’s gym known as “Bali MMA.” Longtime NEF fans will recall that Leone (15-7) and Gorman were the co-main event of “NEF I.”
“I’m happy to be returning to the NEF cage on 六月 17,” said Gorman when reached for comment in Bali. “It’s been what feels like forever since I’ve been under the lights, and I can’t wait to get in there and compete again.”
A native of Hawaii now based in Florida, undefeated James Blair represents the world-renowned American Top Team (TO) 椰子溪. After an amateur career of 7-1, Blair turned pro in 2014. He captured the Island Fights Flyweight Title late last year. Blair will make his NEF debut on 六月 17 against Gorman. 最近, Blair has trained with former NEF Lightweight Champion, and current UFC signee, 德文 - 鲍威尔 (8-2) at ATT. He even travelled north with Powell to make an in-cage appearance announcing the Gorman fight at “新EF 28” last weekend in Lewiston.
“I want to thank Matt Peterson and the NEF crew for offering this opportunity,” stated Blair. “It is an honor to be stepping into competition with a veteran and pioneer of the sport.”
