Portland, Maine (Plaub Hlis Ntuj 30, 2018) - Tshiab England Fights (NEF) returns to Aura in Portland, Maine with its next mixed-martial-arts event, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” nyob rau hnub Saturday hmo ntuj, Lub rau hli ntuj 16, 2018. Nyuam qhuav pib hnub no, the fight promotion announced the addition of a professional bantamweight bout to the card. Ernesto Ornelas (3-7) tau kos npe rau lub ntsej muag Carl Langston (0-1) ntawm ib tug sib ntaus luj ntawm 135-phaus.

The bout will be a rematch of their fight in Portland earlier this month. Ornelas and Langston initially met at “NEF 33” on Plaub Hlis Ntuj 14 at Aura. Ornelas, a member of Portland’s The Choi Institute, put on an impressive showing for the duration of three rounds on his way to a unanimous decision win on the judges’ scorecards. The victory was Ornelas’ first in the NEF cage with four previous attempts since the promotion’s inception in February 2012. (He holds a record of 1-0 as a professional in the NEF boxing ring as well.) Not only is Ornelas predicting another win over Langston on Lub rau hli ntuj 16 – he promises to finish his foe this time.

“Carl said his nerves got the better of him that night. Ua Tsis, they didn’t – Kuv got the better of him, once I stepped into that cage and took the center and looked him in the eye,” said Ornelas imperatively. “I saw fear. A true fighter has no fear. Lub rau hli ntuj 16, he will see what a true fighter looks like, as he looks up at me from the flat of his back.”

Lub “NEF 33” bout with Ornelas was Langston’s pro debut after a lengthy amateur career that spanned 16 fights and more than four years. Many of his friends and family had turned out for the event in his hometown of Portland. And while Langston did force Ornelas to the scorecards, the Young’s MMA member was disappointed in his own performance, blaming the loss on nerves. He immediately asked NEF matchmakers for a rematch against Ornelas on the Lub rau hli ntuj 16 Portland card.

“I couldn’t be more excited about getting this rematch,” declared Langston. “I asked for this rematch the same night I lost to Ernie. I just wasn’t me that night. It was my first pro fight and my nerves got to me. I just didn’t feel like myself in there. Hais tias, I still took him to a decision being that he had nine pro fights and I was making my pro debut. He still doesn’t bring the skill set and talent that I bring to the cage. This was a big mistake for Ernie to accept this rematch. He got lucky the first time, and I promise I will finish him this time. I know what it feels like being in there with him now, and I will make him fold without a doubt in my mind. He’s a mouthpiece, and I’m going to silence him and his groupies.”
