بورتلاند, مين (أبريل 15, 2018) - معارك نيو انغلاند (NEF) made its return to Portland on Saturday night with the fight promotion’s latest mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 33: Riptide.” For the second time in as many events at the venue, NEF packed Aura with a sold-out crowd.
On the amateur portion of the card, كام أرنولد (3-0) continued his winning ways with a highlight-reel, one-punch knockout of ديفيد طومسون (1-3). أرنولد, a hot prospect out of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in nearby Lewiston, مين, dropped Thompson with a right hand in the first round to remain undefeated.
والت شيا (3-1) و نيت باوتشر (2-3) met in the amateur headliner at a catchweight of 130-pounds. Both athletes were looking to bounce back from losses in their last respective NEF appearances, but it was Shea who took the victory late in the third round when referee Kevin MacDonald stopped the fight due to strikes. Earlier in the evening, Shea’s First Class MMA teammate, Ben Murtiff (1-0) won his amateur debut, making for a perfect 2-0 night for the Topsham, Maine-based team.
On the professional side of the card, ارنستو Ornelas (3-7) picked up the win over كارل لانغستون (0-1) عبر قرار بالإجماع. بعد لحظات, Ornelas’s teammate at the Choi Institute كالب قاعة (1-0) was successful in his pro debut with a first-round submission of veteran John Ortolani (8-13).
The main event of the evening saw longtime Maine MMA veteran بيل جونز (13-11) هزيمة مات دينينغ (5-8) via technical knockout in the second round. Denning announced his retirement from cage competition immediately following the bout. جونز’ win capped a successful night for Nostos MMA of Somersworth, نيو هامبشاير. The team went 3-0 في ليلة مع زاك ريتشارد (1-0) و كيليان ميرفي (1-0) taking home wins on the amateur card.
NEF announced that its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: موطن الشجعان” would take place back at Aura in Portland onيونيو 16, 2018. Already announced for that card, Ross Dannar (1-1) و ديفين كورسون (1-1) will square off in an amateur lightweight contest, في حين هارون لاسي (5-1) returns to the NEF cage to take on Da’mon Blackshear (4-1) in a professional featherweight bout.
