TOP BANTAMWEIGHT CONTENDERS TO SQUARE OFF AT NEF 36 პორტლანდიაში, MAINE

დატოვე კომენტარი

პორტლანდი, Maine (სექტემბერი 17, 2018) - New England იბრძვის (NEF) will hold its final mixed-martial-arts event of 2018, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” შაბათს, ნოემბერი 17 აურაში პორტლანდში, Maine. Earlier today, the fight promotion announced the addition of an amateur bantamweight bout to the card. Henry Clark (4-4) შეხვდება Killian Murphy (1-1) in a battle of top contenders to the promotion’s 135-pound amateur title.

Henry Clark is a member of the Choi Institute based in Portland. After starting his amateur career at 3-1, Clark would lose his next three in a row. He would bounce back this past June with a first-round submission of Jack Greene (2-6) via D’Arce choke at “NEF 34” in Portland. It was a return to form as Clark had picked up all three of his previous wins by submission – all various forms of chokeholds. He previously challenged for the amateur bantamweight title in early 2016 in a losing effort to Johnny Crafts (4-1).

“I’m hyped about this fight with Killian,” საიდ Clark. “He’s as game as they come, but he is nowhere near ready for me. I’ll smash him up, and then next I’ll take that belt and put it around my waist with my own hands. This is my time to shine.”

Killian Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion. He captured a title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. Murphy made his amateur MMA debut earlier this year at “NEF 33” in Portland with a technical knockout of Krishna Scott (0-1). Like Clark, he would also make an unsuccessful bid for the amateur bantamweight title. Murphy lost to current champion Kam Arnold at “NEF 34” in a hard-fought battle that will certainly be a contender for “Fight წელი” at the end of 2018. He trains with Nostos MMA of Somersworth, New Hampshire under former NEF Professional Lightweight Champion, and current UFC fighter, Devin Powell (9-3).

“I’m excited to fight Henry,” თქვა მერფიმ. “Beating Henry gives me another shot at the title – and winning that belt has always been my goal.”

NEF შემდეგი შერეული საბრძოლო ხელოვნების ღონისძიება, “NEF 36: Battle for the Gold,” will see the company make its return to Aura in Portland, Maine. The event is scheduled to take place Saturday, ნოემბერი 17, 2018 with a bell time of 7 pm. ბილეთები იყიდება ახლა www.AuraMaine.com.

CRESPO OUT, MURPHY IN AGAINST ARNOLD IN NEF TITLE FIGHT

დატოვე კომენტარი

პორტლანდი, Maine (მაისი 31, 2018) – Earlier this week, New England იბრძვის (NEF) officials were informed that Mike Crespo had been injured during his fight camp and would be unable to compete at “NEF 34: Home of the Brave” on ივნისი 16 in Portland. Crespo had originally been scheduled to face Kam Arnold (3-0) for the vacant NEF MMA Amateur Bantamweight Championship. Killian Murphy (1-0) has stepped up to replace Crespo and take on Arnold at Aura for the 135-pound title in a scheduled five-round affair.

Murphy made his debut at “NEF 33” last month in Portland with an impressive victory over Krishna Scott (0-1) მეშვეობით პირველი რაუნდი ტექნიკური ნოკაუტი. He is no stranger to the winner’s circle. Murphy is a former Maine state wrestling champion, having captured a class-A title for Marshwood High School in Elliott in 2015. დღეს, he trains with Nostos MMA in Somersworth, New Hampshire under the guidance of UFC signee, და ყოფილი NEF პროფესიონალი მსუბუქი წონის ჩემპიონი, Devin Powell (8-3). Murphy was originally scheduled to compete against Gabriel Diaz of Florida at “NEF 34,” but Diaz pulled out of that fight earlier this month.

“It’s an exciting turn of events to end up fighting for the 135-pound belt,” თქვა მერფიმ. “The goal when I started this journey was to win that belt – and I am thankful for this opportunity. I want to thank NEF, my coaches, my teammates and supporters. June 16th, I’m taking that belt home to Nostos.”

Perhaps no other member of the NEF roster has had the run in the last twelve months that Kam Arnold has had. He has cut through three opponents in the first round like a hot knife through butter including an eleven-second knockout of veteran David Thompson last month at “NEF 33.” Arnold is a member of Central Maine Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu of Lewiston, Maine.

"პირველ რიგში, I just want to say ‘thank you’ to Killian for accepting this fight, and also to Matt Peterson for finding me another opponent,” said Arnold when reached for comment. “Killian’s an up-and-coming, exciting fighter – and I’m excited to clash with him. I know he’s going to come ready and he’s going to be looking to shake up this division and make a statement. I’m going to continue to work hard, make an adjustment to the strategy and go balls-to-the-wall from there. This will be a great fight – and I will be NEF’s next 135-pound champ.”

“Nothing excites me more than when an athlete steps up on short notice and seizes an opportunity to grab glory – and that’s what Killian Murphy has done by agreeing to take this bout against an undefeated animal like Kam Arnold,” declared NEF co-owner and matchmaker Matt Peterson. “Kam has looked unstoppable since he debuted less than a year ago – and now we get to see him test himself against a decorated wrestler for a chance at NEF gold. As if this card wasn’t already summer fireworks – now we get to see two undefeated studs try to knock each other off over the course of a five-round championship fight. ეს არ მიიღოს ნებისმიერი უკეთესია, ვიდრე ეს!"

NEF შემდეგი შერეული საბრძოლო ხელოვნების ღონისძიება, “NEF 34: Home of the Brave,” will take place at Aura in Portland, Maine on Saturday, ივნისი 16, 2018. Tickets are on-sale now online at www.AuraMaine.com.
