Jay Perrin is undefeated in two previous NEF appearances. As an amateur, he defeated Nick Spencer (5-4) via unanimous decision in February 2013 on his way to becoming the top-ranked amateur bantamweight in New England. Perrin returned to Maine this past spring as a professional and scored a second-round TKO victory over a very tough Elias Leland (2-1). He is a member of John Fain’s Team Triumph/Boston BJJ of Nashua, New Hampshire, a team with a reputation for crossing the border to deliver memorable moments in the NEF cage.
“I’m very excited to be returning to Maine to fight for NEF,” said Perrin. “They’ve always been good to me, and I can’t wait to fight Zech Lange, he’s a tough opponent for anyone and people sleep on him a little. But, I believe I belong with the best in this division, so come fight night I intend to prove just that. The fans in Maine are always so amazing, I can’t wait to put on another great performance for them.”
Based out of Ithaca, New York, Zech Lange is a member of Team Bombsquad, another out-of-town team known for bringing their best to the cages of Central Maine. Lange had a stellar amateur career, amassing a 5-1 record. As a professional, he holds wins over Thane Stimson (2-3) and veteran Dan Bonnell (11-10). Lange has been inactive from MMA competition for the past three years. He is eager to get back in the cage and move forward in his career.
