Lewiston, Maine (Януари 11, 2017) -Нови Англия Битки (NEF) returns to the Androscoggin Bank Colisee on Февруари 11, 2017 with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 27: RESURGENCE.” По-рано днес, the fight promotion announced the full card for the event. The night will feature both amateur and professional MMA bouts.

 

Headlining the evening will be the semi-finals of the tournament to crown a new professional lightweight champion. The title was vacated when previous champion Девин Powell (8-1) signed with the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). Райън Сандърс (12-8) ще поеме John Ortolani (8-10) докато Jon Лемке (5-7) лица Jesse Erickson (9-5) in a rematch from Bellator 93. The winners of those two bouts will meet in the finals tentatively scheduled for “NEF 28” по-късно тази година.

 

In a highly-anticipated heavyweight bout, Рас Хилтън (0-0) ще направи своя професионален дебют срещу Mike Hansen (5-4). The 6’6″ Хилтън, или “Rasquatch” as he is known amongst his fans, was voted the “2016 Новобранец на годината” by NEF fans after going 3-0 като аматьор. Hansen was a Maine state wrestling champion for Mountain Valley High School (MVHS), and he has developed quite a reputation for downing larger opponents on both the mats and the MMA cage. Hansen was the recipient of the “2016 Submission of the Year” награда.

 

Speaking of 2016 призьори, на “Fighter на годината,” перо перспектива Aaron Lacey (4-0), will look for his fifth consecutive victory in less than a year when he meets Florida’s Chris Jacobs (1-0). Jacobs put together an impressive 8-3 Запис като аматьор, winning regional titles along the way.

 

The amateur card will feature a bout for the light-heavyweight strap as Райън Глоувър (3-1) защитава срещу Victor Irwin (2-0). Glover has held the title since last February. Both Glover and Irwin were Maine state wrestling champions – Glover with MVHS and Irwin with Brewer High School.

 

Also scheduled on the amateur card are no less than three women’s bouts. Angela Young (1-2), who put on multiple “Fight на нощта” performances in 2016, returns to face New Hampshire’s Christine Brothwell (0-2). съотборник Янг, Katie Baker (0-0), will make her in-cage debut against another tough competitor from the Granite State in the form of Alex Walker (2-1), докато Sarah Ziehm makes her debut against Nicole Burgess (0-1).
