Portland, Maine (Maio 2, 2018) - Fights Nova Inglaterra (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine com seu próximo evento de artes marciais mistas, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” no sábado noite, Junho 16, 2018. Hoje cedo, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur welterweight championship bout to the card. Carlton Charles (2-1) está programado para assumir Duncan “The Highlander” Ferreiro (2-2) for the vacant NEF amateur 170-pound title. The fight is set for five three-minute rounds.
Carlton Charles burst onto the NEF scene last summer with a 23-second technical knockout of then-undefeated Josh Jones (2-4) on a card in Bangor, Maine. No início deste ano, Charles returned to the NEF cage with a 12-second dismantling of Delmarkis Edwards (0-1). The former fullback for the University of Maine Black Bears will get his first shot at MMA gold on Junho 16, but he is no stranger to championships. After playing for Windham High School, Charles led the football team to a Class A state title as an assistant coach.
“I’m really excited and blessed for this opportunity to fight for the NEF amateur welterweight title,” disse Charles. “I think it’s a big important step forward for my experience as an amateur and fighting career. This fight is against a great opponent that I know will, e é, training hard and will leave it all in the cage. I know my coaches and family will have me ready for this fight, and I’m looking forward to us putting on a show for Portland!”
Duncan Smith made his NEF debut last month at “NEF 33” in Portland with an impressive standing guillotine submission of Taylor Bartlett (0-1) na primeira rodada. Smith had previously competed for other promotions throughout the region in MMA and kickboxing bouts since 2014. He is a member of Evolution Athletix based in Saco, Maine.
“Carlton and I are both looking to go pro and climb up the ladder,” disse Smith. “Fights like this is what it’s all about. I have the upmost respect for my opponent, but I have all the skills to win. Other than getting clipped, this fight is already won.”
